This is the sort of thing Kathy Griffin does. Watch any video of hers.

I saw one where she was doing an interview (I forget with whom) and she climbed over the desk and tried to kiss the guy.
I saw one where she was doing a show for the troops, and she came out in a camo bikini. She then produced a list of things the Army had told her she wasn't allowed to do- which she very pointedly pulled out of her bikini bottoms.

This is her shtick. Deal with it folks. I imagine the people who are losing their minds over NYE are the same ones who thought Western Civilization was going to end because of Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction.
