PHOTOS Kathy Griffin tweets sexy lingerie photos as Cher

Kathy Griffin took to Twitter yesterday and shared a couple pictures from a VH1 photo shoot to promote VH1 Divas Salute The Troops hosted by Kathy and airing Sunday, December 5 At 9:00 PM ET/PT.

Kathy appears to be paying tribute to Cher in the photos which feature Kathy showing off her petite, surgery-assisted frame in one of Cher’s infamously revealing black lingerie stage costume.

I’m no proponent of plastic surgery or women that are extremely thin, but I have to concede that Kathy Griffin has got quite the sexy little hot bod! Too bad it’s not enough to support her big mouth. Zing!

Here’s the official press release from VH1 announcing Kathy Griffin as the host of VH1 Divas Salute The Troops as well as a list of some of the artists scheduled to perform:
