Kelly Ripa says Clay Aiken acted inappropriately...

[King]

JSF, you're concerned about germs? I never would have known! J/K

[Marilyn_M]

IA! He shouldn't have done that. I can't stand Clay in the first place. I think he is a little b*tch and he comes off as such a little diva, its truly sickening. Kelly was much nicer than I would have been cause I would have said A LOT more!

[WTGH]

I see Kelly's point but she's making it seem like he raped her.

[dragonflies]

I agree! I mean for all she knows he could have went to the bathroom before the interview and didn't wash his hands or something. Plus it's like someone said he wouldn't have done that to Regis

I think more of Kelly's problem with Clay was with his behavior, but the hand over the mouth was just the icing on the cake. I didn't see that part except on the replays on all the show, but I watched the opening and he was taking digs at her left and right non stop and a lot of them didn't even come off like he was joking it came off like he was really trying to dig on her. I mean Regis kids with her but Clay was just nonstop there during the begining when I switched after the opening I was like he won't ever be cohosting again. That's how obvious something was going to come out of this before the hand incident even happened. There was just too much tension building up.

[Cheap21]

ITA as well. Kelly was in the right and I would feel the same way if he had treated me the way he did her

[KLN]

This whole thing is just ridiculous.

One, Kelly made it into a bigger deal than it was. Yes, she didn't know where his hands had been. But think about this... is it really THAT big of a deal? He simply put his hand over her mouth, jokingly. It's not like he forced her to open wide and took a whiz right down her throat or something. On commercial break, wipe your mouth off, tell Clay to keep his hands off, and let that be that! What's the huge deal? I'm surprised the twit doesn't wear a face mask to keep from breathing germified air. Is one human being putting their hand over another human being's mouth really news-worthy? For God's sakes, Kelly Ripa is an actress. A soap opera actress at that! How many times has she opened herself up to kissing a total stranger and swapping spit, putting herself at the terrible, terrible risk at catching a cold? Yeah, Clay should've left his hands off. But it's not THAT HUGE of a deal. It's not even the start of something newsworthy!

And what about Kelly's hair? What about that hair she's constantly running her fingers through and flipping around because it's sooo gorgeous and luxurious? Who's to say that she's not flipping lice around? I'm sure there's been at least one occasion when she was talking about her beautiful golden locks and took the opportunity to flip it around and wave it around luxuriously. Did her co-host or guests get in an uproar because she could've been spreading lice? No.

We're all humans. We all carry germs. No, we shouldn't go around wiping our hands off on each other's mouths every day, but the whole 'touch me not' thing is a crock. I don't think Kelly's really upset about the germs -- she's just upset that someone implied that she rambles on and on too much (and does she ever!) and caught her in a not-so-great mood when it struck the wrong chord. That's all.

As for Rosie O'Donnell, what a dumb lesbian. This has nothing at all to do with Clay's sexuality whatsoever. It OBVIOUSLY has to do with the fact that he's ugly as hell, and that's the fact. If it were Reichen, the SEXY reality TV homosexual, I bet Kelly Ripa would've been all smiles if he leaned right over and planted a joking kiss on her. I've seen that happen before on talk shows. SoapTalk, etc. I've even seen it happen on "Live! With Regis & Kelly." It's never made front page news before. And like I said, if it were Reichen, she wouldn't be crying, "GERMS! OMG, NO!" Why? Because Reichen's gay and cute. Clay's gay and ugly. It has nothing to do with homo/hetero... it's all about vanity. Get it right, Rosie! Your agenda is way too thick. And I'm a homo!

Meanwhile, Kelly? Shut your fat mouth, you hypocrite!

WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER, SUGAH! Is that not your germ-ridden hand covering Regis's sparkly-clean mouth? Moron.

Kelly and Rosie are both melodramatic hogs.

Stupid celebrities and their pity dramas.

[King]

What a dumb, obnox biatch!

[dragonflies]

OMG people hello, she and Regis know each other and are good friends. She doesn't know Clay, and he doesnt' know her, so he needs to keep his nasty hands away from people's mouths.

Her and Regis do things like that to each other.

It's not just the hand over the mouth, it was his whole attitude "like I'm better than you" during the show as well

[alwaysAMC]

EXACTLY.

And if you watch the entire show - Clay was being such a diva - telling him he's better than Kelly and made his fans cheer louder for him over the guests they had on the show. He was just being disrespectful throughtout the show to Kelly. He really does think his s.h.i.t. don't stink.

[Matt]

There are certain levels of familiarity that you are allowed to take with people you know well. Clay didn't know Kelly and didn't have that familiarity to put his hands on her in any way. I can understand why she was upset.

[WTGH]

From the AMA's:

Ripa is enjoying it wayyyyyyy too much. Yes, he was wrong.

It was a mistake. No need to become SuperBeeyotch.

[Cheap21]

well posting a picture means nothing without knowing the context to which it pertains to

Exactly! If my brother or best friend had done that to me, I would have been more okay with it, but definetly not a stranger. Theres a thing called personal space and Clay overstepped it

[King]

HAHAHAHA!!!! YES YES YES!!!! I love her.

[DaysnPassionsFan]

Clay is an ass
