Celebrity news tell us that Regis has been doing all kinds of creepy things lately, from eyeballing photos of new ‘Transformers’ actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to getting a little to intrigued after hearing about Jennifer Lawrence being naked for hours during her body make-up application for ‘X-Men: First Class.’

Last Thursday, he directed his creepiness at Kelly.

Regis and his co-host Kelly were talking about a 3-hour standoff at a liquor store in Brooklyn, which involved some hostages. Kelly joked:

“If you’re going to be held hostage, a liquor store isn’t a bad option.”

Regis responded:

“You’d be good to be held hostage. I’d like to hold you hostage for a while.”

Kelly’s eyes immediately went wide as saucers as she said:

“Okay, that is soooo creepy.”

Cut him some slack, Kelly. He’ll be retiring soon, anyway.

Regis has always said what he thought and not worried about the consequences sometimes.

On ‘Live With Regis and Kelly’, Daniel Radcliffe of ‘Harry Potter’ fame announced an upcoming gothic horror flick called ‘The Woman in Black,’ causing Regis Philbin to worry that Radcliffe might join the ever-growing ranks of actors who play vampires.

“You don’t play a vampire, do you? Please don’t! I’m so sick and tired of vampires!” Philbin shouted.

“No,” replied Radcliffe. “There’s a lot of other people that, kind of, got that area covered.”

So I guess the Twilight cast won’t be coming on when they have their new movie out…right! Good thing Regis is retiring soon.

When Latina magazine told him that Daisy Fuentas also had her eye on the hosting chair prize, he said:

“They can’t do girls! Kelly won’t want that. Kelly wants to be the only girl up on there. I love Daisy but Kelly doesn’t want that. I’m honored just to be mentioned in the discussion. I love Regis and Kelly. I had a great time doing the show when I filled in many times. I’m looking forward to filling in more. Kelly and I get along great. We have great chemistry. I’m just flattered that they’re talking about me.”

What do you think – would you like to see Mario Lopez fill in for Regis Philbin?

Regis told Kelly Ripa about his decision 15 minutes before they went on the air. Initially we learnt Kelly was stunned but now we’ve learned she was furious — partly because, as one source tells TMZ,

“She felt it showed a total lack of respect for her.”

The entire production team is reportedly angry at Regis because they feel he hurt the show by blindsiding everyone.

And in case you missed it, Regis is quitting because of money.

Sources connected with the show tell TMZ that Regis’ agent, Jim Griffin, was talking with execs from the ABC station group about a new contract for Regis when his current deal expires.

TMZ was told that it was clear Regis would be getting a pay cut, partly because the show is not performing as well as in the past … and partly because he takes a lot of time off.

Sources say Regis is currently getting somewhere between $18 and $20 million a year.

As for Regis’ agent, Jim Griffin, Reeg fired him. The story goes Regis felt Griffin did not negotiate the deal effectively.

Whatever, he’s 79 perhaps it’s time to retire anyway. Money isn’t everything.

79-year-old Philbin said he’ll tape his last show towards the end of the summer but he didn’t give a specific date.

During his announcement, Regis joked, “There is a time that everything must come to an end for certain people on camera, especially certain old people.”

Kelly Ripa wasn’t too pleased as the story goes she didn’t find out about Regis’ retirement till 15 minutes before going on air this morning.

Oooh! We are going to miss you Regis but we do understand.
