Kelly, Clay and Rosie.. Someone needs to put a hand over all of their mouths

Goodness Gracious! The controversey that is brewing from a stupid gesture that was done on Clay Aiken's behalf.

In case you missed it... Clay Aiken this past Friday co-hosted with Kelly Ripa. Apparently there was one part of the show, when Kelly wouldn't let him speak, that he covered her mouth-- probably half joking and half serious-- to get in some words.

Fast Forward to yesterday, when Ripa spent (and I saw this episode and this moment) about 5 minutes discussing how rude it was of Clay to do what he did, and how upset she was by it.. Blah, blah, blah..

Anyway (and I saw this too), today, Rosie and the rest of her co-host spoke on the view about it and showed this now infamous clip.. Rosie said that she felt Ripa's comment after Aiken covered her mouth of: "No, no, no, I don't know where you hand has been honey," came off as homophobic.

Additionally, Ripa called in and defended herself and said that it was more about disrespect and NOT about sexuality. Rosie combatted her response by saying "that is how it looked to me as a gay woman".

The segment between Ripa and O'Donnell about the debate of Aiken's action on Ripa's show was about 10 minutes-- no kidding.

I just find the whole thing is ridiculous. Its time to get real here and all of these people need to get a grip.

Aiken shouldn't have done it.. Although, I am sure, it wasn't intentionally disrespectful. He should have thought about his actions. It was stupid of him and he is socially retarded-- we all see that--- so he should have never agreed to do that. He should apologize to Ripa for his actions....

HOWEVER, so should Ripa. You just don't go on the air that Monday, Kelly Ripa, knowing that you are a celebrity and that your show is watched all over the states and spend 5 minutes chastising his actions on the show. Get real. You should have been an adult as well and addressed the situation backstage. I mean, you're pissed.. I got that, but really, as a celebrity, you should know by now, that whatever you say, you MUST know that it will be critiqued and analyzed by anyone. It was unprofessional on her part to use her show's platform, to air her personal griveances.

Now, onto Rosie. Ripa's comments are no where near an indication of her being homophobic. Not at all!!! I am a gay male. . I would know if it was viewed that way. Rosie, Ripa was correct that everything that is said isn't an indication that she hates gays.. Re-evaluate your actions when you speak.. As with Ripa, you need to know the power of your own voice.

The bottom line is that EVERYONE is making a mountain out of a mole hill. Just insane that these people have nothing else to worry about other than dealing with such a small thing. They all need to get a grip and get off their high horses..

Everyone it was just a hand... Really.. Grow up!
