Report for Wednesday, July 29th

I have to get this off my chest. With the passing of Regis Philbin, a lot of folks giving tributes, but Kelly Ripa should shut the front door. While she made a big deal of his death on Monday, truth is, Kelly is a fraud. When Regis left their show, there was a farewell party but Ripa never even showed up. Despite Regis calling her many times after leaving, she never, never returned his calls. When producers wanted Regis to make some guests appearances, Ripa said no way. Regis was deeply hurt and never understood her behavior. Kelly Ripa is a lot like Ellen Degeneres. Enough said. … Reminds me, for two years I’ve told you about Ellen and finally her boss Warner Media has opened a formal investigation into her behavior and I expect her to be fired as a result.
