"Kathy Griffin has laughed off the controversy surrounding her behaviour on CNN&amp;#039;s New Year&amp;#039;s Eve celebrations. The comedian surprised viewers during the broadcast when she appeared to kiss the crotch of her co-star Anderson Cooper live on air.  Griffin - who said at the time that she was trying to produce a moment to speak about on David Letterman - has now joked about the incident during an appearance on The Late Show. &amp;quot;If you think this is the part where I&amp;#039;m going to apologise for trying to go down on Anderson Cooper, you are sorely mistaken,&amp;quot; she told Letterman. &amp;quot;I tried, ladies and gays! I tried for you!&amp;quot; When Letterman asked how she would react if a man had behaved that way towards her, she replied: &amp;quot;If it was Anderson Cooper, myself and every other gay guy and woman... I&amp;#039;d unzip so fast! Boom! Pants down!&amp;quot; CNN apologised in 2010 when Griffin swore during the celebrations, while last year she caused controversy when she surprised Cooper by stripping to her bra.
