Kelly Ripa Is Not A Fan Of Clay Aiken

Kelly Ripa's definitely not a Claymate.

The talk show host went off on Aiken this morning on "Live With Regis and Kelly," saying "I don't think he was respectful in any way." She says Aiken was hostile toward her when they shared co-hosting duties on Friday's show.

She especially took issue with Aiken putting his hands over her mouth during an interview. She says you don't do that, even if it's for a laugh.

Regis Philbin says he's shocked the pair didn't hit it off, saying, "In my wildest dreams would I ever think that one day you would have a feud with Clay Aiken."

Aiken, an ambassador for UNICEF, appeared during the lighting of the UNICEF Snowflake Baccarat crystal chandelier in Manhattan over the weekend.
