Kathy Griffin is bailing after just seven shows!

The funny lady was hired to replace Fashion Police hostess with the mostess Joan Rivers after the comedienne's untimely death in September, but the gig wasn't right for her, she said in a statement, Thursday.

    "I discovered that my style does not fit with the creative direction of the show and now it's time to move on," Griffin said on Twitter. "When I chose to step into the shoes of my beloved Joan Rivers…I was thrilled to continue her legacy as a woman being brash and eccentric on television. I am a freedom-loving female and gay rights activist who loves to find the funny in all people, attitudes, beliefs, and appearances, but only when the context permits intelligent humor. My brand of humor, while unrepentant and unafraid, is all about CONTEXT…Listen, I am no saint…But I do not want to use my comedy to contribute to a culture of unattainable perfectionism and intolerance towards difference. I want to help women, gay kids, people of color and anyone who feels underrepresented to have a voice and a LAUGH!”


Speaking of laugh, we think it's funny that Kathy herself seems bitten by the bug of unattainable perfectionism, in that she's had five million different plastic surgery procedures, so she herself, clearly thought she didn't live up to society's standards and tried to "fix" that through nipping and tucking. Does she regret it? Is she hinting that public scrutiny about looks hurt her and drove her to drastic measures? We wonder ...

Meanwhile it seems like other not-so-perfect celebs are backing the funny lady's move. Lena Dunham tweeted a photo of Griffin wearing a pair of Minnie Mouse ears. Along with the snap she wrote, "Congrats to my beautiful friend Kathy Griffin for bravely saying enough is enough to intolerance of all kinds on television. She's modeling a better way for the youths (and working those ears.)"
