Ringo to Reg: I must be a Starr (Ringo Starr Walks Off "Live With Regis...")

It’s been 37 years since Ringo Starr was a Beatle but he apparently hasn’t forgotten how to be a diva.

Starr walked off the set of “Live with Regis and Kelly” yesterday rather than cut short one of his songs.

Still, [Ringo's fellow rocker Dave] Stewart blasted the show for trying to force “Ringo’s musical legacy (to) take a back seat to additional banter about the size of Ms. Ripa’s derriere.”

[mtbopfuyn]

Is that show still on?

[MadelineZapeezda]

Did Ringo forget he played 'Mr. Conductor" on Shiney Time Station for kids in the early 90's???????

bwaaaahaahaa!!!!!!diva, indeed!

[beaversmom]

He’s not as bad as Yoko. Although screeching monkeys aren’t as bad as Yoko.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Well, here's Kelly Ripa's butt...for comparison purposes.

[Revelation 911]

when did it become a “talent” show ?

[1Old Pro]

If you are going to ask a Beatle to perform musically, then give them ALL the time they want, sheesh.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

He was just upset about Heath.

[Blue Highway]

At least Ringo won’t compromise to the shows lame producers. I can’t stand that Gevilefish guy name Geletin (Gelman).

[illiac]

Well.....in hindsight.....

[OPS4]

Who cares her brain ruins it.

[FrdmLvr]

Kelly Ripa, uugh! The media used to lambaste Kathy Lee, but they don’t lay a hand on Kelly, who is a million times more obnoxious. Kathy Lee is a conservative Christian, not to mention a good entertainer and ad-libber. Guess that explains that.

[OPS4]

Since it has been on, variety and talent show is all it is,
it sure aint CNN. LMAO

[elhombrelibre]

I’ve got to side with Ringo on this one. They have people like him on to draw an audience and then the audience is forced to hear these popinjays run their pie holes on all the inanities that fill their small heads. Who has the ego problem, the artist they drag on for ratings or the chattering know-nothing that can’t allow a few minutes for the singer to sing his song?

[Borges]

It’s more like we gave up Frankie Avalon and Paul Anka

[Nephi]

I got tired of the Beatles when the first time I heard them,

Yet, you couldn't resist this thread? Why lie?

[Revelation 911]

I guess the point I was trying to illustrate was that there is no, nor have I seen, any talent on that show......you can call it a talent show, sure, but Ive yet to see any

[SuziQ]

*snort* Dave has a good point. It’s been years since I saw any Regis and Kelly or whatever they call it. I guess it hasn’t improved.

[mkjessup]

Good for Ringo!

As amazing as it seems, Kelly Ripa actually makes me long for the days of Kathy Lee (GAWD, did I actually say that?!?)

[Wavrnr10]

Never a fan of the drug induced, wife beating, USA criticizing twerps from England. They have always rode on the coat tails of adolescent girls and the Japanese. In my book. once separated the world found out what they truely were and they all became flash in the pans. I never laughed so hard as I did at Mc Cartneys Super bowl blundering performance. It rated right up there with Hillary’s crying.

[Greystoke]

the Beatles: 2 down, 2 to go.
