Kathy Griffin shocked the audience at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Saturday night - by delivering a highly controversial acceptance speech for the second year in a row.

The actress’ show My Life on the D-List won the prize for best reality show for the second time.

Griffin caused uproar at last year’s ceremony by peppering her speech with religious references, telling the crowd: “(Jesus) didn’t help me a bit. Suck it Jesus, this award is my God now.”

This year, the comedienne was determined to continue the controversy, opening with: “Well, well well! Here we go again, f**ckers.”

The 47-year-old made reference to last year’s speech, saying “I’m not going to tell anyone to suck it”, and went on to show her delight at winning by exclaiming, “I would make love to this thing if I could.”

Griffin lost out in her second award nomination for best stand-up comedy special to funnyman Don Rickles.

Is Kathy Griffin presenting at the Primetime Emmy Awards?

That’s what I’m hearing.

I sure hope it happens. The funnylady could, no doubt, make things a bit more fun on television’s biggest night. The Emmys will be handed out on Sept. 21 and telecast live from L.A.’s Nokia Theatre.

No word on what award she’ll be presenting…

Just last year, the star of My Life on the D-List caused an uproar when she won an Emmy for Outstanding Reality Program during the Creative Arts Emmys ceremony.

“I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus,” the loudmouthed comedian said among other things. “This award is my god now.”

The TV Academy decided to abbreviate Griffin’s controversial words when the show was later telecast here on E!

The redheaded firecracker is once again up for Outstanding Reality Program this year, as well as one for her special Straight to Hell. Winners of those categories will be revealed at the Creative Arts ceremony on Sept. 13 and broadcast a week later on E!

In June, Ms. Griffin released a comedy album called For Your Consideration for the sole purpose of trying to snag a Grammy nomination.

A rep for this year’s Primetime Emmys said she wasn’t aware if Griffin had been booked to present. Griffin’s rep did not comment.

At 47, Kathy Griffin swears she will never go under the knife again.

“I’ve been off the junk, as I call it, for five years,” she says in the September issue of Fitness (out August 14). “I’ve had face lift, eye job and all that stuff five years ago.

“What I found, though, was that it didn’t help me one bit,” Griffin says. “It didn’t get me happier or didn’t make me look particularly younger.”

The Emmy-nominated comedienne says she always thought she needed surgery to land work.

“I really thought ageism is so prevalent in Hollywood, especially in standup — it’s such a male dominated zone,” she says. “I thought, ‘Dammit, I got to do everything I can to look my best.’”

She says she later learned aging “is not really going to keep you from what you want.

“For example, if you work in an office, you’re probably going to do the same job if you’re 10 pounds heavier or lighter,” Griffin goes on. “I’m not talking about anorexia or obesity — those are obviously two different animals.

“But I spent 20 years of my life obsessing about 10, 15 pounds, and what I found as a comedian … is that nobody expected me to come out in a bikini anyway,” she says. “I’ve never lost a job because of my weight, and I’ve certainly never gotten a job because of my cosmetic surgery or my weight.”

She says she has come to accept her body over the years.

“I’ll say to my younger friends, ‘C’mon, I have a hot body, right?’ I mean, not a hot body Hollywood-style… but it’s hot for 47.

“So that’s my new thing — I like my body now,” Griffin adds. “For 47, it’s pretty darn good.

She adds, “I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m never going to be Jennifer Aniston.”

Kathy Griffin says she never went all the way with her ex, Apple co-founder billionaire Steve Wozniak.

“We were dating, but were just friendly. I never f—-d him or anything!” she told Usmagazine.com during a visit to our NYC offices last Thursday.

“The truth is,” she added, “we really were friends the whole time.”

They definitely had their laughs together, she said.

“When we went to the Emmys together, I put on this really huge engagement ring and didn’t tell him,” she told Us. “There are these great photos of me posing with this great big fake diamond ring.

“He didn’t notice!” she added. “I was like, ‘Oh, by the way at the Emmys, I had on a fake engagement ring!’ And he was like, ‘Oh, that’s very funny.’”

She announced their split in April (they met in 2007 after he watched her perform).

After they called it quits, she said “he met someone very quickly and then they [got] engaged.”

No hard feelings, said Griffin, who plans to visit Wozniak (who appears on her Bravo reality show) in Saratoga, New York, on July 11.

“I have had dinner with them, and she’s a thousand times more appropriate!” she said. “I hate to say it, but in the Bruce, Demi, Ashton [scheme of things], I’m the Bruce!”

Comedian Kathy Griffin – who guest co-hosted The View one day after the big fight between Rosie O’Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck – revealed some details about O’Donnell’s departure from the show, during a comedy act Saturday night.

“I don’t even know where to start,” she told a sold-out crowd at the Borgata Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. “I tell you who I got a call from [on Friday]. ‘Hey Kath. It’s Ro. What are you doing? Wanna hang out?’ I spent the whole day with Rosie! How about that!?’”

So what did Rosie do on Friday? She lived by the lyrics of “Girls Just Wanna have Fun,” and took Griffin to watch pal Cyndi Lauper rehearse for her upcoming True Colors Tour. Later, the trio went out for dinner in Manhattan, “and the mojitos were flying,” said Griffin (who doesn’t drink, and stuck with Diet Pepsi). “It was fun.”

Griffin has guest-hosted on The View twice in the last two weeks, “so I was there before, and after the whole split-screen, Hannity and Colmes s—,” she said.

Revealing a conversation she had with O’Donnell about how the show’s producers split O’Donnell’s image with Hasselbeck’s during their fight, Griffin said: “And that’s what it was. I said, ‘What was really it?’ And she said, ‘The split-screen.’ She said, ‘I don’t want to do Hannity and Colmes. ‘ ”

Griffin also explained O’Donnell’s reaction to news that Donald Trump had called Hasselbeck “stupid” in TV interviews. “Awww. that’s sad,” was her reaction, according to Griffin, who added: “So, she doesn’t even hate Elisabeth.”

Griffin also praised O’Donnell, saying: “I think she’s a pistol, and she’s outspoken and fun and says outrageous things. That show’s not going to be the same without her, whether you like her or not.”

Finally she hinted that The View will have to find a replacement for O’Donnell, to which a number of audience members started chanting “Kathy!”

Griffin, whose name has been mentioned by many TV critics as a possible replacement, responded with a simple, “Thank you. We’ll see what happens.”
