The Shortlist for July 10

Kathy Griffin Criticized for Joking About Demi Lovato's Cutting Behavior

Having appeared on Jimmy Kimmel's show 33 times, Kathy Griffin sees a common denominator to her guest appearance invites. "I'm the person [they] call if Demi Lovato is cutting, or if Miley Cyrus flashed her crotch again and it's too breezy down there," she joked on "Kathy" recently, while introducing Kimmel as a guest on her own show. Now, Griffin's quip has apparently infuriated fans and supporters of Demi Lovato -- who was treated for bipolar disorder, an eating disorder and self-harm issues in 2010. "Kathy Griffin is an old tart who's mad Demi is beautiful and funny without having to rehearse jokes others wrote for her," tweeted one angry Demi fan, while another griped, "Truly disappointed with @kathygriffin making a joke of @ddlovato's struggles with self-harm, there's nothing funny about it."
