New BFFs? Kathy Griffin and Suze Orman

These two amazing and powerful women made quite a duo yesterday. First they surprised Anderson Cooper on the air to wish the silver fox a happy birthday then they headed over to the Gracie Awards presented by the American Women and Broadcasting and Television.

They joined the likes of Maya Angelou, Katie Couric, Barbara Walters, Jane Pauley, Amy Poehler, Rachael Ray and Mariska Hargitay. (Oh, and Melissa Rivers was there too but it didn’t seem right to list her with all of these other really accomplished people who don’t say things on national television like “Pit viper!”)
