REgis Philbin has been on some shows. Some shows I may have seen. Most that I haven't. Other than Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, I am kind of scratching my head trying to think of what else he has done besides the morning shows, which I would only watch to stare at Kelly Ripa if I happened to surf by it.
So...he's going to be lighting up his monte cristo cigars and sailing of to the old folks home in Florida I suppose. He claims he isn't sick and that he is just retiring.
"No, I'm not sick," he declared on his morning morning chatfast Wednesday.
Showing off newspaper clips with stories about his retirement news, he added, "I don't want to get morbid about this but I almost felt like I was looking at my obituary," he said.
I imagine it does. Feels like writing one just talking about a celebrity retiring, because frankly, they NEVER RETIRE. So...upon this realization, I guess good old Regis is just looking for some ass kissing while he is alive. Well played, sir. Well played.

Jennifer Lopez Makes a Fool Of Herself
I honestly have no idea what the context of these quotes are from, but I'm going to go with she is dead serious when she says them. She is talking about the Golden Globes and being afraid that Ricky Gervais will make fun of her and embarrass her. Guess you wanted that job for yourself.
"He's very gutsy, it takes a lot of guts to get up there and make the comments he made and go for that type of comedy," she tells Access Hollywood. "I'm sure in his mind it was all in good fun. But in the room, being in the room it was like, eek... Then, when I go backstage to present, I'm backstage with Alec [Baldwin], we're about to walk out, and Ricky shows up. I say, 'Listen! I will kill you, you understand, I am from New York, my husband fights, we both fight, we will beat you up after the show... with a couple of bleep bleeps in there."
In the end, he made a crack about her extravagant spending habits, but she said she didn't mind it. Maybe something about needing the best weight loss supplement would have been better. AT least be rude dude.
"I scared him," Lopez later told Ellen DeGeneres on her show. "He was scary, though."

The "Poe Toaster" Doesn't Show For Second Straight Year
A tradition that started in 1949, and ran for some 60 years seems to be done. For the second straight year the mysterious Poe Toaster failed to show at the grave of Edgar Allen Poe on his birthday.
A fascinating tradition that ran for some 60 years and was never fully explained appears to have ended. An unknown person who left three roses and a half-empty bottle of cognac at Poe's grave on the anniversary of the writer's birth failed to appear Wednesday, the second straight year he's disappointed those who stake out the downtown Westminster Hall and Burying Ground.
"I think we can safely say it's not car trouble, and he's not sick," said Jeff Jerome, curator of the Poe House and Museum. "This doesn't look good."

Has Ricky Gervais Ever Not Went Close To Over the Line?
While watching the Golden Globe stuff so I could talk about it a little I saw some of his older videos on Youtube that I remembered from the past. What's funny is that I was clear on what kind of comedian he was before the show, but the backlash was what surprised me considering what kind of comedian he is.
The one video I have always loved of him on Youtube wasn't a stand up act, or anything that you would even think of with him in it. While pretty tame compared to most things he does, it still shows that he isn't going to be handcuffed by his stage no matter what. It is a video of him hanging out with Elmo from Sesame Street. It is hilarious, and cute, but at the same time he still touches on subjects that probably aren't appropriate for the company he is with.
He mentions the Holocaust, fat people that need weight loss pills that work, necrophelia, and it is still hilarious.

Ricky Gervais Claims He Won't Host Golden Globes Again
The absurdity of this backlash for his performance at the Golden Globes just keeps getting better. Don't fool yourself into thinking any of this is real. It's all a put on IMO. The Golden Globes are perfectly happy with what he did at the awards show. They didn't even ask to see his script before hand, and unless you didn't know who Gervais was before you saw him at the show you already knew he was going to be a grumpy and controversial host.
It isn't like Gervais went out of his way to sound like he was upset with the Golden Globes. People are just making it into something that it isn't. Maybe they were uncomfortable?
Gervais said "I think twice is enough." to TMZ earlier. Oh no! He is really upset. Sounds like he just doesn't have any more jokes to me. Clearly most of his jokes at the show were 10 years old already. Maybe he needs to spend some time with a cautery and some medical supplies and come up with more fat guy, AIDS, and cancer jokes like his standup act.
