Regis Philbin gets racy with Nicki Minaj
File this one under ewww.
Morning show host Regis Philbin and his cohort Kelly Ripa welcomed hip hop star Nicki Minaj on Monday, when the show was broadcasting from Las Vegas.
Regis is apparently a fan of Nicki’s. Maybe a little too eager a fan.
“I love the way you dress,” he told the entertainer. And then for some reason he made contact with her backside, as Kelly shrieked, “Regis!”
Someone asked Nicki about the encounter on Twitter.
“Lol. I was in shock!” was her response.
Also during her time with Regis and Kelly, when they were all discussing Lil Wayne, Regis cracked a joke suitable for a Viagra ad.
Like we said. Ewww.

This sh!t was inappropriate…. bottom line. What gives him the right to feel like he could just do that on live TV and get away with it? If Montel Williams slapped Jessica Simpson on the azz he would be in more trouble than you could imagine. Im not playing the race card because its wrong on all levels. If he wouldve done it to Kelly Clarkson it wouldve been just as wrong. But it just adds to it that hes an old white guy touching on a young black woman. I dont think Regis is racist… i really do think that her booty had him under a spell and he couldnt help him self. But he was still wrong and should at least issue an apology.
