Well it may go down as one of the shortest feuds in Hollywood history.
People is reporting that the apparent feud between Rosie O’Donnell and Kelly Ripa is over.
The feud began on yesterday’s episode of “The View,” when O’Donnell alleged that Ripa made a homophobic remark to singer Clay Aiken on an episode of “Live! With Regis and Kelly.”
Aiken tried to cover Ripa’s mouth with his hand and she told him, “I don’t know where that hand’s been, honey!”
Ripa called into The View, saying that O’Donnell interpreting her remarks as homophobic was “ridiculous.”
But Barbara Walters cleared up everything on “The View” today, announcing that O’Donnell and Ripa have spoken and everything is cool between the two women.
“Rosie O’Donnell is one of the kindest, most sensitive people I know. And so is our friend Kelly Ripa. And Rosie and Kelly talked yesterday after the show. Rosie and Clay Aiken have talked. And all is well with the world, and all is well with them. So let’s move on,” Walters said.
Nick Lachey used an appearance on Live with Regis and Kelly to once again shoot down rumours that his marriage is on the rocks.
The pop singer was acting as a guest host on the morning talk show while Regis Philbin was away.
“There’s so much negativity that is out there and a lot of it’s based on absolutely nothing true,” Lachey told Kelly Ripa on Wednesday morning. “So you just have to let it roll off. We’re shocked that people are still on this same rumour. We’ve been divorced for six months now, apparently. It’s like it just keeps going on and on and on.”
“I would absolutely, positively, like to set the record straight,” Lachey continued. “Everything is absolutely wonderful in marriage and life and love. They insist on going back to the same old thing about I’m jealous of her career. I love my wife to death and I support the heck out of her, as any husband would.”
Meanwhile, Cindy Adams reported in the New York Post this week that divorce papers have been drawn up and signed by both Lachey and Simpson and that assets have been divided.
“Ongoing affectionate togetherness shots, repeated protestations of mutual love, muzzling this story is all because they won’t harm their TV show,” says Adams.
