you know what , the whole hand thing had nothing to do with being Homophobic. It has to do with PERSONAL SPACE. I feel the same way Don't touch me unless I want you too. I don't even let my kids cover my mouth because of the hand washing thing, Rosie needs to go back in the closet for crip sake. I love Rosie but I am sick of hearing about her gayness and her partner etc .. No one cares!!!

I agree. Everyone should give Kelly Ripa a break! She isnt homophobic and is an extremely successful business woman. You go girl!

Yes, Regis and Kelly is filmed in NY but it's very "Hollywood". The writer of this article didn't so much mean Hollywood as a place but rather as an idea. That's how I read it at least.

I watched every episode of "Kristin" that aired and it could have had a broader appeal. But at the point few people outside Broadway really knew who Kristin was. Yes, she'd just won a Tony for "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." but it was closed shortly after the Tonys. She here we have a show with unknown stars and a lead who sang in every episode. I think that face itself scared away viewers. It's just too bad the show was cancelled just as it was starting to get meaty. They were just starting to delve into the relationship between Kristin and her boss played by John Tenney.

Kelly Ripa is an ASS. She is VERY overexposed, and the "gee-wiz" veneer she built up is starting to slip. Good actress? are you KIDDING. What was the name of that show she did that disappeared like a fart in the wind?

I enjoy reading all the positive comments about Kristin Chenoweth! She is 4'11" of total talent! Oh,
and by the way, she can sing! Has anyone out there
heard her sing?? WOW!! What a great voice!! I've got
both of her CD's and she just knocks me out with her
voice. She's also HOT!!!

Dear, poor sad Karen:

If you know THAT much about Kelly Ripa AND have the time to watch soap operas--I am afraid YOU are the ignorant and misinformed here. In other words, you are a non-person.

Regis and Kelly,I love u both ,watch u almost everyday.So keep up the good work,and keep me laughing.
love ya
Nan

Please, enough of these so called talk show craps. We do not need another one. Back off.

A Broadway musical about two talk show hosts would be a much better idea. It would make quite a story line with all that happened to Kathy Lee when she was the co-host. They could bring the story from when Regis first started right up to the present with new co-host Kelly Ripa.

Kelly Ripa is a hoot! She is young, funny & with it!
I think this new show could be a hoot too! Great actors.
As for the Kelly Ripa homophobe stuff~get real~she is the most down to earth person. Clay Aiken was so rude to her from the beginning of the show that day. She tried to be cool with him, but when he did that to her it was an embarrassment. He should be ashamed. I think his little bit of success has gone too quickly to his head. She was just trying to be witty & make a comedic comeback for his rude behavior towards her.
So many jumped, including Rosie, to this homo stuff & if they'd been watching the show, it had nothing to do with that. Who wants some strangers hand put over their mouths. Like she said, who knows where his hand might have been. Men DON'T wash their hands as often as women do!
