The Truth About Regis & Lil' Kim
On Live With Regis & Kelly, co-host Regis Philbin makes no secret of his crush on rapper and Dancing With the Stars contestant Lil’ Kim. And according to his on-screen partner-in-crime Kelly Ripa, Regis' heart truly does beat faster whenever he thinks of the petite 34-year-old.
“If anybody can get Regis to do the samba or the pasa doble, it is Lil’ Kim,” Kelly told OK! when we caught up with her at the Electrolux launch of Kelly Green washers. “He is really in love with her. He’s been in love with her since before Dancing With The Stars. He’s predicted that she’s going to go all the way. He really loves her.”
And in the issue of OK! that's on newsstands everywhere now, Lil’ Kim reveals to OK! that she has a surprise planned for the 77-year-old chatterbox! What could it be?
“I can’t imagine what it is. Maybe she got a tattoo of his name?" Kelly guessed. "Oh my gosh, that would be incredible. I’m hoping that’s what it is, but I have no idea.”
More importantly, what would make Regis happy?
“What would make him really happy is if she came on our show and maybe if she dedicated a song to him,” Kelly said. “Maybe if she incorporated his named into a song? Or maybe if she tattooed his face somewhere on her person.”
In fact, Kelly tells OK! she might even commerorate Regis and Kim's lovefest with a new tattoo of her own! “Maybe something that says Lil’ Kim loves Regis,” she laughs.

Ty's blog:
‘It feels like we’re getting a little army together’
First, I really want to thank everyone who has been following my blog and posting comments here and reposting my blog on other sites. I did notice the increase in comments the other day, so I wanted to make sure to let you know I appreciate all your effort in helping get Chelsie and I this far.
It feels like we're getting a little army together.
Chelsie and I had another good day at practice and we worked on technique for quite awhile. In fact, we actually ran our routine with the music and, more importantly, with some pretty decent technique – for me.
At the end of the day Chelsie and I worked on our part of the group dance. She was just going over my parts of it with me and then tomorrow, I think, we're going to rehearse with the whole group.
In any case, I think, the waltz is coming along pretty good for us and I would say that I feel more comfortable with this one than I have with any of them so far.
Now it's just a matter of making it all go right on Monday when we have to do it live on national TV, but if practice is any indication everything is going good and we're ahead of schedule.
Again, I really appreciate all the support.

‘I like the waltz’
Hello army. Chelsie and I had another good day. We got to rehearse on the CBS stage this morning and then we went to a movie premiere for a new Walt Disney film called "Earth."
It was kind of a spinoff from that TV series called "Planet Earth" and there was amazing wildlife footage, oceans, mountains and Antarctica. So that was kind of fun and a nice, relaxing break from practice.
When the movie was over we went back to our regular practice studio and worked for several more hours. It's coming along pretty good.
I like the waltz.
It feels like the way a man and a woman should dance. I wouldn't say it's any easier than any of the other dances. It's just different and I haven't found an easy one yet. They're all pretty tough for different reasons and I know I said that before, but they really are.
After the fast dances you would think, "Wow. It'll be easy to have a slow one." But it's not. It's just as hard.
I do feel like we had a good start on this week's routine and we'll be ready to go.
I thought we were going to practice the group dance today, but I was wrong. We're going to practice that routine for quite a while tomorrow.
So we'll work on both dances and we'll spend most of the day at the CBS studio doing camera blocking. That's always my favorite time to practice because it feels like the show and that's how I like to practice it anyway.
And tomorrow night I'll be talking with the guys about "Dancing with the Stars" live on Versus during the telecast from The NILE Invitational.
Chelsie and I are going to try and knock it out of the park Monday night. We need to. With our scores sliding backwards we need to get our scores back up there so we can help out our army of voters.
As always, I appreciate everyone continuing to lend their support.
