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.

31. Reeg and Kelly suck. I bet they would have let some talentless American Idol wannabe sing their entire song.

32. I love the Beatles and if you are ever in Las Vegas go see "Love" it is amazing! (worth EVERY penny)
I'd like to be under the see in an Octopus's garden in the shade.

33. WHAT A CRAPPY WAY TO TREAT RINGO. THE OTHER GUESTS SUCKED AND TIME COULD HAVE BEEN MADE FOR RINGO'S SONG. I'VE SEEN PLENTY OF OTHER SINGERS ON THE SHOW WHO PERFORMED LONGER THAN TWO
MINUTES INCLUDING LOSER RAPPERS WHO ARE TOTALLY OUT OF PLACE ON THIS FUDDY DUDDY OF A SHOW.
SHAME ON THEM FOR DOING THIS, I WON'T WATCH THE SHOW AGAIN. GO OUT AND GET RINGO'S NEW CD, IT'S
GREAT! "WHO CARES" SHOULD PULL HIS/HER HEAD OUT OF THEIR BUTT. RINGO HAS RELEASED MANY FINE
ALBUMS IN THE LAST 30 YEARS IF YOU HAVE AN ATTENTION SPAN LONG ENOUGH TO LISTEN!!

34. You should be thrilled that anyone would allow you 3 *seconds* to perform any of your junk, dude. Who in the holy hell would want to endure 4 minutes and 15 seconds of torture brought on by you?

Fantastic long album versions of songs are routinely cut down for radio play to get them close to the 3-minute mark. Let every artist who had to accept that unfortunate fact of life pitch a temper tantrum. And these were artists who had great music pared, not eternal hacks such as yourself.

...I've had a distaste for this guy for a long while, because this isn't the first time he's acted like a pompous arrogant jerk (see other post). He showed his ass big time on Howard Stern one time, for example, and I remember thinking then what a disappointment he's become as far as the legacy of the Beatles is concerned. You'd think he'd care more about that, and get his head out of his ass.

And for those of you who think this is an isolated incident, stay tuned.

36. I can't blame Ringo for walking out on the Regiss show, Cutting a song of his like that may have screwed his performance up, can't blame him. On the other hand, if he is going around talking his ire out on autograph seekers , those who have helped make his career, he needs to deflate his overly huge ego, Paul Mccartney was in Dallas Texas where I am a while back, fans met him at Love field airport and he signed autographs for all. Anyone Ive ever known who has met Paul says he is nice, Ringo needs to pipe down before someone gets fed up with his attitude and sticks one of his drumsticks up his rear end.

37. He's a friggin' BEATLE for pete's sake! If Sinatra or Elvis were still alive and booked on the show, I'm convinced they'd do the same thing Ringo did -- walk out on the show. Paul McCartney would probably do the same, too. Show some respect to these legends. Give the man his 4 minutes to perform his song in its entirety and re-schedule Michael Kors or that other guest for another day. It's that simple.

But noooooo --- they've GOTTA make time for this Amazing Race guy (whoever he is) or a fashion designer who probably just walked from his studio to the Regis and Kelly studio for his appearance!

Only the RAMONES could perform an entire song in 2 1/2 minutes!

This crap happens more and more to the great legends who are getting on in years -- they always seem to get pushed around and disrespected by morons who either don't know or don't care about REAL talent.

38. Maybe is kelly stopped talking about her self for a couple extra minutes Gelman could of given Ringo the extra time he needed.

39. HOLY COW, they actually got a BEATLE on their lame morning show and they didn't plan enough time for him? ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? He's RINGO STARR for crying out loud! Get over yourselves Regis and Kelly, 100 years from now NO ONE will remember YOU! Ringo, however, will go down in history! GET A FRIGGIN CLUE!

43. Ringo is a big enough star that they should have made sure that he had enoughtime to do his act or have him on another day. Good for him for not permitting them to treat him like he was just another unknown rapper.

44. Nasty old prima donna, why don't shave that fur off your face you neandrathal! Fifteen seconds is a lot of time when you're talking about television and the producer has a lot of people to whom he/she has to answer. By the way you old fart, it's Live With Regis And Kelly, sexist much?

45. I can't stand Regis, Kelly or Ringo - spoiled crybaby bastards, all three of them
