Kelly Ripa vs. Clay Aiken???

[elizabethann]

So this is what the commotion has been about? I'd walk by the t.v. or radio and hear something about Kelly & Rosie being in a fight - but it's really about Kelly & Clay with Rosie butting in? I wish I could see the video of Clay doing that to Kelly.

Personally, I don't watch any of those shows because I don't like Kelly and I don't like Rosie (and I'm also at work). But I do like Clay.

Does anybody know where I can see the video?

I saw the show when this incident happened - I had turned it on specifically to see Emmitt and Cheryl.

If someone I was meeting for the first time put his hand over my mouth, I would have bitten it! I don't care how much he wanted to talk, there was no reason to do that. And she was correct - who knows where that hand had been.

I had to look it up online since I never watch either show... here ya go:

I do think it was pretty wrong of O'donnell to so openly discuss Clay Aiken as a gay man when he, as far as I know, has never publicly outed himself. She tried to keep her sexuality a secret for a long time to protect her career until she decided it was politically advantageous to out herself. She should have better manners than to try to force someone else to let the public into such a personal portion of their life.

K, just saw this vid while getting the incident link, and I have to admit I found it kinda funny.

Oops, Kelly!

[lvpets2002]

Totally Agree

I can't stand her. And I agree that if given the chance, she would have done it herself. I get the feeling that she's a big attention ho and "it's all about her".

[momoffuzzyfaces]

She tries to hush Regis all the time. What's the difference?
As for Rosie, she sure is trying to make the whole world gay. Didn't she accuse Oprah just recently of being gay? What business is it of hers who is or isn't gay?

I definitely think it was completely uncalled for that he put his hand on her mouth. And, it was a full hand, completely closed, covering almost her entire face. It was very awkward. Rosie seems to just be one of those people that if you do or say anything about someone gay, that she's going to think that it's the reason you did or said it in the first place. I think Kelly's call to the show was professional, well said and appropriate. I don't have and have never had an opinion of Kelly Ripa or Clay Aiken (except that I don't like his music), though.

And as a side note, if I were Clay Aiken, I'd be more insulted by Rosie's comment about "if it were someone straight, or someone cute", implying that Clay is not cute, than by Kelly's response to him putting his hand over her mouth. I mean, she didn't name call, she didn't spout off a bunch of rude remarks, she simply said she thought it was disrespectful and uncalled for.

Anyway, it's "water under the bridge", to quote Ms. Ripa herself. Not to mention, small potatoes.

Speaking of potatoes, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

And Kelly would know. She did the same thing to Regis. One of those shows that keep track of the stars dug up a picture and showed it of her with her hand covering Regis mouth from way back. I can't remember the name of the show it was on. Sorry, my old brain is not working well today.

Did they know eachother then or was it their first meeting? I think that makes a huge difference as well.

Strange how big of a deal this has gotten.

CA could have done us a favor and finished her off.

KR just sat there and let him shut her up.

I think there should be a Celebrity Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Rosie versus Kelly and CLay to take on the winner of the women's heavyweight division.

What was really hilarious was Clay and Tori Spelling on the AMA's the other night. teasing each other that she was carrying Clay's love child and then Tori put her hand over Clay's mouth and he came back with "I don't know where that hand's been." It was really

[Husky15]

So he put his hand over Kelly's face. Sure it was disrespectful, but it's nothing to keep talking about. They should just get over it. We've all had people do small things to us like that, and I'm sure most of us have done small things ourselves, but we always forgive and forget.

And as for Kelly's call to Rosie, I think she acted very professional and mature and worded everything fine.

[Sevaede]

I feel bad for Kelly. She is catching a whole lotta flack because she doesn't want someone putting their hand on her MOUTH. As has been said before, hands touch doors, hands, pens, desks, their own mouths, genitalia (scratching, etc. ), etcccc. He might not have washed his hands since he had showered that day. Her reaction is completely reasonable.

Oh, and she has a playful personality and is VERY obvious when she is joking and pal'ing around with Regis. They've worked with each other for years and have understandings with each other. I don't think it's correct to assume that she is wild, obnoxious, and talkative all the time. She is very professional when the situation calls for it.

I would watch Regis&Kelly if I got up early enough. I used to watch it and always found Kelly to be quite amusing in her antics.

For me what the big and a very big difference is that Regis and Kelly have a relationship. They work together and have spent time together with each others families when not at work. Clay Aiken is a stranger to her and as such does not have the right to invade her personal space at all. However, I don't think it is as big of a deal as some are making it out to ber. I think Kelly handled it fine and yes, it was awkward, those things happen when you do something stupid like Clay did. He was wrong and it was totally inappropriate. But he is young and will learn from this and move on as everyone will.

Rosie is just a poor excuse for a human being as far as I am concerned.
