Reality TV star to become Air NZ hostess
The third season of the show won an Emmy Award in 2007 for outstanding reality program a victory that stirred up controversy when the acid-tongued Griffin told Jesus to suck it in her acceptance speech.
US pay TV network Bravo programming chief Frances Berwick praised Griffin, saying she has a knack for capturing the pulse of pop culture.
My Life on the D-List follows Griffins shameless attempts to elevate her star status to A-List with the assistance of her ever-present assistant Jessica.
According to Variety the one-hour show will return to US screens later in 2008. The fourth season will document Griffins work as a hostess on an Air New Zealand pink flight jetting into Sydney for the Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
Air New Zealand is delving into the gay and lesbian market with a special themed flight from San Francisco on February 26 which will feature drag queens, pink cocktails and a cabaret performed by the flight crew.
Passengers will pay an average of $US1000 ($NZ1423) for the round trip.
Griffins reality TV series has previously tackled some very serious material, including Griffins visit to Iraq, her divorce, and the death of her father John.
