SO I watched…Michael came out with Erin Andrews for Today’s ‘Live’ with Kelly and Michael
and the monologue continued with no reference to Ripa, whatsoever.
Here’s what been going on ..social about the uncomfortable situation.

Live With Kelly and ….

Kelly and Michael Trending …

– Hollywoodlife.com claims Erin Andrews and Shay Mitchell will replace Kelly and Michael for the rest of the week.

– Oprah tells TMZ: “Nobody told Kelly? She should have never have found out, in the media. She shouldn’t have to find out that way.”

________________________________

Kelly’s Side: Kelly Ripa was absent yesterday from ”Live with Kelly and Michael.” A source tells E! News that Michael did not intentionally keep Kelly in the dark about his move to Good Morning America. That was a network decision. It was a carefully executed plan. It wasn’t an overnight decision and took some time to put it in place. He’s not the boss. He is an employee of the network. He got an amazing opportunity. It’s a great move for him.”

A source tells People magazine: “She’s a no-show today. No quote from her anywhere wishing him well. She was pissed two years ago when he was asked to do just two days a week on GMA.”

A source tells People magazine: “Kelly told ABC she wasn’t coming in last night. They don’t know yet when she’ll be back.”

People magazine claims Kelly and her husband Mark have jetted off to the Caribbean for a 20th wedding anniversary celebration.

A source tells Perez Hilton: “Kelly isn’t making any demands. She is very hurt that Disney hasn’t even spoken to her yet so they are assuming that she isn’t coming back. She wants to wait and see what happens. She’d also like someone to do the right thing and speak to her face to face rather than plot and plan behind her back.”

Another source tells People magazine: “People are missing the point if they think Kelly is mad at Michael for taking the job. She totally understands why he’d take the job … it’s a great job! She’s not of the opinion that signing up with Live! has to be some sort of lifelong commitment. But there is a way to go about things, with courtesy and respect and decency, and none of those things were done here.”

A source tells Naughty Gossip: ” Kelly refuses to appear with him on live TV. She is not speaking with him and feels very hurt. He should have told her out of respect. Kelly feels used. “Live” was a stepping stone to get his own new syndicated version of “The $100,000 Pyramid.” He used her to get what he wants.” At the end of this morning’s show, Strahan was forced to mention Ripa and Gelman. He didnt want to mention those two but was told by the bosses that he had too. He won;t be back on the show until Monday, that is if he returns at all. Kelly feels disrespected and humiliated that she wasn’t given the courtesy of a heads-up.”

Kelly Backlash: A source tells the NY Daily News: “She is acting like a child, a diva and hurting her reputation with this sort of behavior. It makes her look bad and makes all the horrible rumors about her bad attitude off camera seem true. This whole blindsiding thing is nonsense. He got a great job offer and took it — same as anyone else would.”

A source tells the magazine: “She’s being very mature about this and choosing not to talk a lot and to wait and see how this plays out. She feels “blindsided” by not being given a heads up about Strahan’s departure. She’s dedicated everything to the program, it was the primary focus in her career, she has been dedicated to maintaining the show for both the staff and viewers – and then all of a sudden the entire program is changed without them being decent enough to give her any notice.”

Michael’s Side: Michael told viewers: “I really want to thank, of course, Kelly Ripa, because Kelly welcomed me here and I’ve learned so much from her, and she’s just been an amazing influence on me. This has truly changed my life to be here with her, and I know that the show will continue to be strong and great because of Kelly…Kelly, I thank you. I love you and everyone else here at LIVE!.”

Regis Angle: Regis Philbin tells People magazine: “Years ago I interviewed Michael Strahan on my show, and I asked him what he will do when he leaves the Giants. He said, ‘I want your job,’ and years later he got it. Now he’s moving on to GMA. Next stop could be Washington.”
