Apple dater of our eye, Kathy Griffin, is always looking for attention, but last night she actually deflected it from herself and instead thrust it on Lakers basketball great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!
TMZ caught the D-list fame whore outside of Mastro's last night, where she proudly had dinner with her Emmy award, and instead of basking in the glow of paparazzi light, she pointed out the 7'2" behemoth lumbering our way. How'd we almost miss him?!
Kareem, who turned 60 (!) this year, didn't share Kathy's enthusiasm for the camera.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has been sued after allegedly firing a pregnant female employee. And now, that employee's mom is on the warpath.
Diana Broda claims Kareem canned her daughter in December 2005. The suit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges Broda's daughter was pregnant at the time and was "wrongfully terminated."
In an unusual twist, the employee (Broda's daughter) is not the one suing. Instead, Diana Broda claims she worked for a law firm that represented Abdul-Jabbar. Broda says she contacted Jabbar and his company Ain Jeem and threatened to file suit when her daughter was fired. Broda says Kareem and Ain Jeem then went on the attack, contacting the law firm where she worked, which promptly fired her.
