Nicole Kidman’s Awkwardness ‘08 Tour Enters ‘Blame Letterman’ Phase
5:26AM Kyle Buchanan | Nicole Kidman’s cringe-inducing appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman last night is continuing to serve up some aftershocks, and during the star’s appearance on Regis and Kelly today, Regis treated Kidman as though she were promoting her late-night trainwreck, not Australia.

‘It’s Never Personal’: Whoopi Goldberg Spends the Morning on ‘View’ Damage Control
2:00AM STV | You can take the Whoopi out of the girlfight at The View, but you can’t necessarily take the girlfight out of Whoopi. That seems to be the lesson learned this morning on Live with Regis and Kelly, where Ms. Goldberg — who was out sick for Wednesday’s particularly violent drama — played dumb, then defensive, then philosophical about the onscreen battles (not to mention the fantastic backstage bloodbaths) plaguing her show’s panel. “What is the problem with those women?” asks Regis, his furrowed brow projecting the sincere concern of a man who knows a thing or two about handling high-strung co-hosts. If there is peace to be found in this literal no-man’s-land, surely Reeg will mediate it — assuming, that is, no one burns Elisabeth Hasselbeck down before then. [Live with Regis and Kelly] More »
Regis Philbin Forgetting Names, In 28 Handsome Volumes
8:05AM Seth | We’re going to preface this by saying that we here at Defamer don’t just respect our elders, we downright adulate them. (That is, unless they’re in the car ahead of us, counting pennies at the Vons 15-items-or-less lane, or generally engaging us in a conversation that involves several extinct movie stars and cookie brands that we’ve never heard of.) The last thing we’d want is for you to think we were taking some sort of perverse pleasure in witnessing whatever it is Cloris Leachman’s body was doing on Dancing with the Stars last night. More »
David Blaine and Kelly Ripa Hang Out
7:50AM Defamer Hollywood | Today on Live With Regis and Kelly, pint-sized Kelly Ripa strapped herself into a harness and ventured skywards to awkwardly join illusionist David Blaine in the midst of his latest attention-whoring stunt: hanging upside down for three days in New York’s Central Park. He stopped eating a week ago so he won’t have to go to the bathroom and is using a catheter, plus, he’s been warned the feat may leave him blind. Fun! But nay, fear is not a factor for Blaine – who told Ripa he’s only scared of beatles and spiders. Ripa, on the other hand, had her greatest fear realised while vocalizing it: “looking like a basset hound on TV.” [Live With Regis & Kelly] More »
Jon Hamm Disses ‘Crazy Showbiz Guy’ Regis Philbin
9:10AM Mark Graham | Aspiring celebrities about to make your first rounds on the talk show circuit, take note. Earlier this year, we cautioned you regarding the pitfalls of repeating the same anecdote word-for-word on multiple talk show appearances, using Jason Segal’s penis-bearing fable as our example. Tonight, we’d like to walk through the subtle art of how to recognise what kind of stories are good for dinner parties versus those that are suitable to be told to a national television audience, showcasing Mad Men star Jon Hamm’s disastrously disrespectful appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Friday night.
