Kathy Griffin, self-proclaimed D-list celebrity and star of the two-time Emmy Award-winning reality series, Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, will be supporting her ex-boyfriend, billionaire Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, when he hits the dance floor on the eighth season of Dancing with the Stars.

"I will be watching, and will be riveted," the stand-up comedian told Usmagazine.com at the 11th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards in Beverly Hills Tuesday.  "If I am in town, I will definitely go support him."

Judging from Griffin's statement, it's safe to assume that there's no hard feelings between Griffin and her former lover.  In fact, she insists that she's remained close to Wozniak in spite of the split.

"[We've] stayed friends, and I think it is great he is doing this," Griffin said of his decision to dance. "It will definitely expose him to people he would not normally meet. It is always fun to see Steve in a fish out of water situation.  He will make all kinds of new friends."

Griffin, who claims they've never slept together, and Wozniak met after he watched her perform in Saratoga, New York in 2007.  The couple broke up last April though Wozniak still appeared in My Life on the D-List's fourth season episodes.

"Well, we really were friends at the beginning, so it wasn't that type of heartbreak situation for either of us -- so it was really easy to just continue to be friends," she explained.  "He will do great [on Dancing with the Stars]! I am excited to watch him."

Although Griffin will be cheering Wozniak, she still can't give any comment on his dancing skills.

"I have not danced with him in that sense," she said.  "But I feel there is nothing he can't do."

Fans can catch Steve Wozniak with professional dance partner Karina Smirnoff when Dancing with the Stars returns on March 9.
