Regis Philbin Archives

Before Milo Ventimiglia was playing the power-absorbing Peter Petrelli in Heroes or even acting for that matter, he had some other life aspirations.

“I had a couple options,” Milo, 30, shared on Live with Regis and Kelly! “One, I wanted to be an actor. Two, I wanted to be a doctor. And third, I wanted to be a fighter pilot.”

But even though Milo went on to become an actor, he still took to the skies: “During the strike, when Hollywood was shut down, [I went up in a fighter plane]. And I also spent some time with the Air Force Reserves. It was amazing. It was one of the coolest things I’d ever done to see what these pilots put themselves through, the training, what the planes are capable of.”

When co-host Kelly Ripa asked if he felt nauseous up in the fighter plane, Milo laughed, “Yeah, I got sick. It’s hard not to. There’s actually a photograph of me before I got into the plane–hair’s polished, I’m looking good, I’m standing up tall. And then there’s one of me after I finished the flight and eh, a little crooked.”

And good news! Milo had a little tidbit to share about Heroes: “We’re going into [filming] our third season starting May 1. Back with new episodes in September!”

Hoorah!!! Watch Milo’s interview on Regis below. Milo’s latest film, Pathology, opens in theaters this Friday!

Penelope star and producer Reese Witherspoon stopped by Live with Regis and Kelly! on Wednesday morning. She talked about her latest film, Penelope, and her new costar Vince Vaughn in the film Four Christmases.

“We’re such a funny couple,” Reese laughed. “He’s 6′5″, I’m 5′2″. It’s going to be really funny. I’m a producer and he’s a producer, so we boss each other around. Mondays I get to be the boss and Tuesdays he’s the boss.”

As a producer, Reese has to keep the crew happy. And how does she do that? Feed them well!

“Mainly what I do is organize the snacks,” Reese admitted. “I’m not joking actually because I need to make sure everybody has a lot of snacks. The key to having a happy crew is feeding them lots of coffee. Good coffee and I have the ice cream truck come on Fridays.”

Ice cream!!!! That’s key.

Morning talk show hosts Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa dress up famed British couple David and Victoria Beckham for their 3-D Halloween special today.

Regis & Kelly gave some hilarious impressions of Posh and Becks. Watch the video below!

P.S. They’re a little behind the times as Posh recently dyed her hair back to brunette. And they should have stuffed Kelly’s top with pillows or something!

P.P.S. If you want your real Victoria Beckham fix, you can listen to her radio interview (mp3) with Ryan Seacrest from earlier today. Check it, it’s major!

Kelly Clarkson performed her hit single “Never Again” on Live with Regis & Kelly! on Wednesday morning in NYC.

Aussie actor Eric Bana shoots a promo in Santa Monica on Friday looking like his usual hot self.

Looking less than hot is his poker flick Lucky You co-starring Drew Barrymore, which tanked at the box office this weekend, opening in sixth place and barely making more than $900K on Friday.

It’s barely going to make $2 million dollars in its opening weekend!

Kate Walsh, aka Dr. Addison Montgomery, sheds her scrubs and hits up the NYC’s Fashion District on Thursday.

Earlier in the morning on Live with Regis and Kelly!, the sassy redhead looked absolutely gorgeous chatting up the Grey’s Anatomy two-hour special tonight and her spin-off series.

There were, unfortunately, no mentions of her current boy toy Alex Young or the official name of her spin-off series. Watch the video below!

Regis Philbin announced that he will have triple bypass heart bypass surgery later this week.

The 75-year-old told his Live With Regis and Kelly audience on Monday’s show: “Well, listen, I gotta tell you something. … I had been feeling chest pains, you know, and, uh, shortness of breath and all those little symptoms that you hear about.”

Regis hoped to have angioplasty instead because “you know, you get in — bang, bang, bang — they blow it open and you leave the next day. But there’s some plaque in some arteries and I’ve got to get it cleaned out.”

Co-host Kelly Ripa offered to be his sponge bath nurse. How sweet!

Pictured is the last public event that Regis and his wife Joy attended. The couple attended the 2007 Vanity Fair Oscar Party at Mortons last month in West Hollywood, Calif.
