Should have brought this up yesterday

Okay, so it's not entirely topical anymore, but I just have to laugh about this one....

Apparently while co-hosting on Regis & Kelly, there was a point when Clay Aiken put his hand over Kelly Ripa's mouth to make her shut up. Now, I'm not suggesting that I haven't wanted to do the same (or worse) to her, but to do it on national television when you're guest host seems a bit presumptuous. It might also be worth noting that Kelly is (apparently) somewhat of a germaphobe.

Well, right after this action by Mr. American Idol Runner-Up, Kelly spits out (something along the lines of), "Get that hand out of my face... I dont' know where it has been!"

Well, believe it or not, everyone's favourite rampaging diesel dyke Rosie O'Donnell decided to weigh in (something you can't take lightly... ha! get it??) on this. She went on to say that she thought Kelly would have had a different reaction if Clay was "straight or cute".

Wow.

If I'm Clay Aiken, I'm not sure I'd hire Rosie as a lawyer. As Maureen Holloway (of "The Last Word" fame on Q107 among others) said, "Straight and cute? Aren't those two things that Clay Aiken maintains he is?"

Anyway, my favourite part was when Kelly Ripa actually called in to The View and tore Rosie a new one, saying that it was flu season, she has 3 kids and that Clay had just shaken hands with everyone in the audience.

I'm almost embarassed to mention that I used to watch Rosie's show... but that was back before she outted herself and became unfunny. Now she takes herself too damned seriously... I liked her better when she pretended to love Tom Cruise (don't even get me started on that little game of "I'll cover for you, if you cover for me") and shoot squoosh balls into the audience....
