Ringo Won't Star on "Regis"

Ringo StarrRingo Starr was supposed to appear on "Live with Regis and Kelly" this morning -- but moments before he was scheduled to go live, the ex Beatle walked off the set.

In what's being chalked-up to a miscommunication, Ringo was given only 3 minutes to perform a 4-minute, 15-second song, and chose to hightail it out of there after the show wouldn't give him more time. According to his rep, "Ringo left saying, `God bless and goodbye. We still love Regis."'

Starr's exit followed a day of snubbery in NYC Monday -- where the angry rocker got mad at paps, autograph seekers and fans who wanted to greet the 67-year-old rocker.

1. Who cares about Ringo or his music anymore??

Ringo has his 15 mins long ago. He hasn't accomplished anything in 30 years.

3. This is typical for this show. Gelman is the worst producer. He hasn't learned anything in 20 years. They really need to get rid of him.

4. Too bad that Ringo turned out to be a jerk in his old age.

5. Gelman's the gayest-acting supposedly straight producer in town!

6. GET OFF MY LAWN! What an old bastard he's turned out to be. Where'd all that peace and love and crap go?

7. Don't balme him one bit. Not enough time for a song THEY want him to preform? What dumba** came up with that decision?

8. So let him perform his song in the 4:15 it takes. Surely the show could do with less commercials and more entertainment.

9. Poor Ringo even cut out a full minute, they just wouldn't budge on the last 15 sec.
It's not Ringo's fault, he even said it would be cool to fade to a comercial while he was playing, again they said no.

Ringo is not the dancing mokey some of these up and coming stars are.

10. Ringo: You GO FOR IT! It's about time that creativity and principles won out over the pin head pencil pusher accountants that run network TV. I wish more artists stood up and told these idiots that if it weren't for the artists, there would be NO TV to begin with.

Posted at 4:31PM on Jan 22nd 2008 by TV's run by no talent accountants

11. Ringo Starr - Yasir Arafath= separated at birth

12. WTG Ringo you derserve respect and as an artist and entertainer you should not have to compermize your work just so they can keep talking mindless crap. the real news story states you tried to accomomdate them by quiting it to 3 minutes but they refused. You even offered to have them cut away in mid song and they still refused. They showed no respect so you left. Dont blame you a bit. They would rather have hanna Montana on for 5 minutes then a great preformer like you who has giving us so much.
BTW is Regis still alive or does he just look dead

14. Good for Ringo. Nothing against Regis but this isn't the first time this show has ticked off a celeb, seems like they're doing nothing but asking for bad press.

15. Ringo's doing Craig Ferguson's show on Thursday.....
