Kelly Ripa and Regis Philbin worked together for nearly a decade as hosts of "Live! with Regis and Kelly," and the daytime television talk show host didn't mince words while jotting down a few memories of her tumultuous relationship with the legendary broadcaster in her first memoir, "Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories."
Ripa's written recollection of their time together on-and-off camera has been met with criticism from fans and foes, including former "Live!" host Kathie Lee Gifford, who admitted she won't be reading the essays, possibly as a subtle homage to her "great friend."
