Kathy Griffin shows off buzz cut hairdo in group shot
Kathy Griffin showed off her shaved head in a group shot on Monday in which she was posed alongside some high-profile pals in a belated celebration of Melanie Griffith's 60th birthday.
The 56-year-old comedian shaved her head last month as a sign of solidarity with her sister Joyce, who's battling cancer.
In the group shot, she had a mischievous look on her face while holding a red wig that looked conspicuously like her old coif.

Griffin posted a black-and-white shot to Instagram with the caption 'WHAT?!?!,' adding the hashtags, '#MondayMotivation,' '#love,' '#photooftheday,' '#lgbt,' '#laugh,' and '#gayicons.'
The Emmy-winning comic also tagged in her pals in the pic. She was seated alongside the Oscar-nominated Working Girl actress Griffith, whose actual birthday is August 8; Arrow actor Colton Haynes and his fiance, Jeff Leatham, a florist-to-the-stars; and the reality TV matriarch Kris Jenner, who wore a bob weave that had her looking a lot like Selma Blair (who played her in last year's The People v. O.J. Simpson).
Griffin also posted the shot to her Twitter page, writing, 'Quick Sillyness break in case you needed a laugh today.'
The Oak Park, Illinois native - whose brother Gary died at 63 in 2014 amid a battle with esophageal cancer - was lauded by her mother Maggie amid the symbolic gesture, as the proud parent called her daughter 'a wonderful human being' after the bold gesture.

The My Life on the D-List star made huge headlines in May after posing for an artsy photo by photographer Tyler Shields in which she held a mask of a severed head resembling President Donald Trump.
In the fallout, she lost a gig with CNN, had multiple comedy shows cancelled, and was investigated - and later cleared - by federal authorities in connection with the image, which she said was inspired by Trump's previous blood-related quips about journalist Megyn Kelly.

Trump himself took to Twitter to denounce Griffin, saying she 'should be ashamed of herself' over the image, which he claimed traumatized his 11-year-old son, Barron.
Griffin - who said she didn't think she would 'have a career after' the scandal - has remained an outspoken critic of the controversial commander-in-chief, and the ongoing social issues linked to his administration.
Late Monday, she took to Twitter to retweet tweets intended to spread awareness toward identifying the white supremacists involved in the deadly protests in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend, who she dubbed 'murderers.'
