Shame on me! That headline is so misleading! All that happened was that before midnight on New Year's Eve, Ryan Seacrest, host of the ABC telecast from Times Square, text messaged Anderson Cooper, host of CNN's coverage. Anderson got the text and told his co-host, our Kathy Griffin, "I shouldn't show you this." But he did. Kathy talks about it in her stand-up act at Madison Square Garden. The video is not great quality visually but the sound is good. She told Anderson that their friendship "is shame based!"

She's kidding, of course. What would they have to be ashamed of?
