Reality star to 'join' Air NZ

US pay TV network Bravo says that comedienne Kathy Griffin will star in a fourth season of her critically acclaimed reality show My Life on the D-List. The show follows Griffin's shameless attempts to elevate her star status to A-List with the assistance of her ever-present assistant, Jessica.

The fourth season will document Griffin's 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 that will feature drag queens, pink cocktails and a cabaret performed by the flight crew.
