No apology necessary!

[<lisac>]

Obviously, nobody at Live felt an apology was neeeded about yesterday's debacle. In fact, it was interesting during host chat, when Kelly said that Regis should become the executive producer of "Millionaire" because he is an executive producer of Live and it is run so well--said he should take Gelman with him because Gelman runs things so well----very, very interesting.

[<vlanj>]

Yes! Right! Amazing! lol

I noticed that too. There was no need for an apology, IMO. Hey, if Kelly doesn't apologize for her antics day in and day out, Regis sure as heck doesn't need to. lol

[<gailsie>]

Absolutely! None needed because that's exactly what they were going for. Did you also notice how they continued their poking fun of the club when Reege spoke of his cocktail party and the fact that they should do that for Kelly? She, of course, didn't get it and kept insisting she should have been invited last night. Kelly, he explained it again, and yet she still didn't get it!

[<vlanj>]

A lot of the book club readers have said that her selections are for light reading---for fun. So now why are they so upset after yesterday? Regis was having fun and\also keeping it light. What's the big deal? lol

[<Reege>]

Wow, all three of you here and agreeing with each other within minutes! Amazing! But, an apology was DEFINITELY necessary, and it's a shame that Regis didn't take it on himself to apologize. Just because he didn't make an apology on the air today, still doesn't excuse his behavior yesterday. As for saying if Kelly doesn't apologize for her antics, no need for Regis to apologize, that is BULL. Kelly is ALWAYS respectful to Regis, and doesn't act obnoxious during his segments like he did yesterday during hers. The problem is Regis is so full of himself lately, he would NEVER apologize and probably doesn't even realize he acted like a jacka**!

[<lisac>]

I'm sure that Gelman is very aware of the message board meltdown --and obviously Gelman didn't seem to think Regis should apologize-- Although, when Kelly was screaming--I mean, talking about the new book club pick, Regis kept looking over at Gelman and laughing--did anybody notice that??? Especially when Kelly said for everybody not to panic if they couldn't find the book right away? I think the hysteria and craziness is funny to all three of them!

[<vlanj>]

Ofcourse it is. That's what the "people" wanted, light and funny. Now that' theey're getting it, the "people" want to be serious. lol

I wonder how they'll make the next "round table book convesation" serious with this newest pick.

[<Reege>]

Why don't you guys actually READ the books, then maybe you can have something to say about the discussion of them? How do YOU know what the people who actually read the books want? Maybe they really DID want to discuss it seriously.

[<stephanie>]

Absolutely, the segment should have been light and fun, but still respectful. The segment didn't even get enough time.
By the way, what is Kelly's new pick? I'll see if I can get it over lunch.

[<Lola>]

Boy you "ladies" sure are funny today.

Don't you get tired of kissing each others asses so much?

I would think one would get tired.

It must suck to feel like you have to agree with a select few. There is nooooo way all of you feel the same alllll the time but you always make it that way.

Get a brain and start using it once in a while. Or at least get your heads out of each others butts.

[<Scotty>]

LOL!!!

Yeah, "ladies," you shouldn't be kissing each others' asses so much! You should be kissing Kelly Ripa's ass instead! Get with the program will ya!? Sheesh! ;o)

[<lisac>]

During today's host chat (5/24, but I believe it was taped on Wednesday) Kelly said, again, how really funny Regis was during the book club roundtable discussion. I don't think she was one bit upset!

[<Kim>]

Hi Lisac,

I think you are right. They made it a point to talk about it today. And for heaven's sake why in the world would she be upset? She gets paid quite well to sit around a few hours in the morning and talk about whatever. Meet interesting and famous people. Go to interesting places.

The people that get upset for Kelly don't seem to realize that Kelly couldn't and doesn't need to give two figs about the things that people get so upset about here.

She's living THE life and doesn't need to ever look back or get upset about anything Regis does. It's all gravy from her viewpoint. I'd be willing to bet that she would be quite puzzled about the folks that think they need to stick up for her. Kelly has it made. Only people with issues themselves feel a need to be upset for what they perceive is someone else's "problems".

Gelman sees this stuff and just shakes his head. Along with Kelly and Regis. Can't you see them now? I can.

Don't they realize this was a publicity stunt? The second book was announced on the LAST day of sweeps. HaHa. It's all they've talked about this week. Ragings and sweep days/months.

As far as the new BB. I said it there years (LOL) ago. It's just a way to track how many people are watching the show. Who and how they think. I'm not surprised they've lowered the bar recently on the show. Oh and all that nonsense about it being for discussing the book. HOGWASH!

[<Reege>]

I think the people (fans) who wanted to see a serious book discussion are the ones who are upset, and have a right to be.

[<Mackey>]

Kim ~~~ You sure nailed it. No way I could have said it better. Kudo,s.~~

[<stephanie>]

Kim- I hear what you're saying, but I think it goes both ways. When you say, "Only people with issues themselves feel a need to be upset for what they perceive is someone else's "problems". That goes for people who always bash either Regis or Kelly too. I also think there's a difference between being upset and having empathy. I wasn't upset with the way Regis acted- I know what they were trying to do, but I felt empathy for Kelly and her book club.

[<RnKnS>]

Kim,
Wow! Couldn't have said it better myself! You "get it."

[<PK>]

Kim and RNKNS... (Kim, I hate having to learn a new name... ;0))

Guess there are more than a few here, who don't "GET IT". Is your version of the "facts" the only one - or the official one?

Just trying to keep you on your toes, and suggesting you not speak in "facts" when you really are speaking in "speculation"... The tone of your posts suggest to me (jmo) that anyone who doesn't "get it", is lacking somehow...

If this impression is incorrect, please spell it out for those of us who seem to be unable to "get it"..

The reason for Kelly's reference to Regis' behaviour at the bookclub discussion - whether heartfelt, damage control, or whatever... Is nothing but pure speculation on the part of any of us.

Think it's well known how I feel about anyone stating speculation as fact...

;0))
