Celebrity Feuds
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.

16. 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.

19. He's a Beatle.....let him perform. Do these fools believe that we rather seen a Amazing Race contestant or a clothing designer instead of a Beatle?

Hey...is Amazing Race a Disney production? That would explain it.

Future fiasco: Fox's production of the Super Bowl with the American Idol cast performing & talking. Seacrest & football do not match. Abdul singing?.......I'l be evacuating my bladder at that time.

23. 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

24. 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.

26. They are amazing, but they shouldn't take themselves so seriously. It's not like they are saving lives or anything.

28. What a prat...

29. Ringo is still performing and writing music, not how I define "washed up". Even if that weren't the case as a former Beatle it's not possible for him to ever be washed up. The two are mutually exclusive. Perhaps you could wiki Ringo since you're likely 20 years old and no little of anything prior to Justin Timberlake.
Good for you Ringo-if they can't gice you, whom they invited on to the show, an extra minute to perform it in its entirety I'd say f**k you too.
