NEW YORK, N.Y. - Regis Philbin couldn't leave without a joke.
Signing off from morning television after more than 28 years, he brought to a close his final hour hosting "Live! With Regis and Kelly" by telling viewers, "I'll always remember spending these mornings with all of you."
Then, as the studio audience's ovation subsided after the program's fade-out, he voiced a kidding postscript to that crowd in attendance.
"I just thought of something I SHOULD have said," he quipped, "I really want to stay!"
No such luck.
Philbin, who at 80 years old has logged more than 16,000 hours on television in a career that dates back to the 1950s, was making good on his decision to leave the daily TV grind, an announcement he delivered on his show last January.
And Friday's tribute — concluding weeks of Philbin farewell mania — was good for instant TV history, both on- and off-the-air.
The show had opened with cameras following Philbin's walk from his dressing room to the stage, knocking on Kelly Ripa's door along the way.
"I love you," she said softly as they stepped before the cameras.
Then Philbin barked out the question his fans have been asking for months.
"Where's Regis going?" he erupted with a shrug. "Regis don't know. Stop asking me!"
During the hour, past guests such as Justin Timberlake and Anne Hathaway offered brief filmed tributes.
The show was otherwise devoted to emotion-filled clip sequences of high jinks with Ripa, and such stars as Dana Carvey and Ben Affleck demonstrating their Regis impersonations.
Philbin's parting gifts included a key and a plaque. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg paid a visit to thank Philbin for making the city a big part of his show, and presented him with a symbolic key. Walt Disney Co. chief executive Bob Iger showed a plaque honouring Philbin that's newly installed on the outside of ABC's Manhattan facility from which the show originates.
But the morning's festivities had started an hour before the 9 a.m. EST airtime with a coffee-and-pastries reception for the studio audience. This was a hand-picked — and seating-chart-arranged — group of family, friends, past and present colleagues, and celebrities including Diane Sawyer, Bryant Gumbel, Donald Trump, Meredith Vieira, Tony Danza, Dr. Ruth Westheimer and Ripa's co-host predecessor, Kathie Lee Gifford.
"The world adores Regis," said Judge Judy Sheindlin, "but his friends adore him even more — enough to get up early in the morning, put on some makeup, come out and give him a cheer. Because, he's just a special, sweet man."
A decade ago, Philbin gained prime-time fame as the quizmaster of ABC's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." But his enduring impact has been as a morning show host, and a raconteur adept at weaving something from nothing in the so-called "host chat," turning stories about a night on the town or his frustration with a household product into compelling TV.
Alan Alda described Philbin as "unique in all of broadcasting. He invented a form: going on the air and just telling stories about the day before, for 20 minutes."
"He has such an ease in front of the camera," said "30 Rock" star Jane Krakowski, an occasional guest host. "He's such an everyman. He makes us feel like he's one of us."
And Katie Couric hailed him as "completely upfront. You never get the sense that he's editing himself. And on television, where people are so manufactured and packaged, you rarely see that kind of thing."
Philbin's unsurpassed quantity of airtime was celebrated by the 14-member troupe from the off-Broadway musical "Rent," which sang a version of the show-stopper "Seasons of Love" tailored to Philbin's endurance: "995,600 minutes! How do you measure a career? How about love!"
Unseen by viewers during commercial breaks, Philbin schmoozed with the studio audience and occasionally cracked wise about the on-air ceremony, which clearly left him as uncomfortable as he was touched.
"Gelman's getting carried away," he said at one point, meaning longtime executive producer Michael Gelman. "He thinks he's Scorsese! He's NOT!"
And although Philbin had publicly sworn he wouldn't shed tears at his farewell, members of the studio audience were privy to displays of emotion by him that were unseen at home.
Watching one pre-taped piece where viewers held hand-lettered signs that said "Regis," he finally drew a finger across his throat in mock-desperation as if to signal "Kill it, please," then glanced heavenward as his eyes welled.
Ripa was much more demonstrative on camera, fighting tears as she recounted how terrified she was on her first day as Philbin's partner, and how he put her at ease.
As they entered the studio that day in 2001, "the audience leapt to their feet, and they were cheering and screaming," she recalled for him, "and you said, 'You see that, sweetie? That's all for you.'
"Your light is what shined around all of us," she told him, "and made us look so bright, for so long."
The show will continue with Ripa. Similar to when she was chosen to replace Gifford, a succession of co-hosts will join her, some in contention for the permanent job.
Meanwhile, Philbin has been careful to say he's not retiring. His immediate plans include a tour to promote his new book, "How I Got This Way."
"I'm so happy for Regis because he's happy," his wife, Joy Philbin, said after the show, at a champagne gathering in an adjacent studio. "He knew it was time and he wanted to do this."
And with the emotion-wracked hour done, Gelman, who will continue running things in Philbin's absence, said, "I'm relieved," and added with satisfaction, "Regis is happy.
"He doesn't like being honoured," Gelman explained with a laugh. "So now he's happy, 'cause he's not being honoured anymore."

Fashion Faceoff: Jennifer Lopez vs. Julianne Hough
This fashion battle is on! The adorable Julianne Hough recently challenged style diva Jennifer Lopez by wearing the same Rachel Zoe Fall 2011 tuxedo dress J.Lo did last summer in a different color only four months apart. But did the former "Dancing With the Stars" pro or the "American Idol" judge walk away with the victory? It's time for us to decide just who wore it better.
Jennifer Lopez, 42, showed off her toned gams in a short, white version of the dress in Paris on June 15. She matched it with movie star-cool sunglasses, a snakeskin clutch, white pumps, and, of course, some of that J.Lo bling in the form of H. Stern jewels.
Julianne Hough, 23, wore the same design in black for a screening of her flick "Footloose" in NYC on October 12. She also donned black heels and a black clutch.
The shape of this creation is chic, no matter the color or styling. However, as far as I'm concerned, Jenny from the Block rocks it better in this case, thanks mostly to the perfectly snug fit. The white hot hue of the garment, which highlights her signature glow, as well as the sparkling accessories are simply icing on the cake. And with that, I say Jennifer's the winner. Do you agree?

Brad Pitt Grows Out His Hair Again: Time For An Intervention?
Brad Pitt is officially turning into Johnny Depp: another matinee idol who masks his good looks with unsexy facial hair. Pitt turned up in Tokyo this week for the premiere of "Moneyball" sporting a distressingly shaggy stoner mane and salt-and-pepper goatee.
Is he regrowing his weird beard? Let's hope not. [Editor's note: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.]
Pitt and Angelina Jolie left the kids at home to hit the red-carpet premiere as a Hollywood supercouple on Wednesday night: Jolie looked striking in a red dress and matching lipstick, while Pitt regressed back to the grungy, surfer-dude look he sported before doing the U.S. promotional circuit for "Moneyball."
The actor certainly knows how to sell a movie/passion project: he cleaned himself up to remind everyone of his "Thelma & Louise" days and stirred up some good old-fashioned controversy by insulting his long-suffering ex-wife. We kind of miss that Brad Pitt.

How Osama bin Laden really died
Forget whatever you think you know about the night Osama bin Laden was killed. According to a former Navy SEAL who claims to have the inside track, the mangled tales told of that historic night have only now been corrected.
“It became obvious in the weeks evolving after the mission that the story that was getting put out there was not only untrue, but it was a really ugly farce of what did happen,” said Chuck Pfarrer, author of Seal Target Geronimo: The Inside Story of the Mission to Kill Osama Bin Laden.
In an extensive interview with The Daily Caller, Pfarrer gave a detailed account of why he believes the record needed to be corrected, and why he set out to share the personal stories of the warriors who penetrated bin Laden’s long-secret compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
In August the New Yorker delivered a riveting blow-by-blow of the SEALs’ May 1, 2011 raid on bin Laden’s hideaway. In that account, later reported to lack contributions from the SEALs involved, readers are taken through a mission that began with a top-secret helicopter crashing and led to a bottom-up assault of the Abbottabad compound.
Freelancer Nicholas Schmidle wrote that the SEALs had shot and blasted their way up floor-by-floor, finally cornering the bewildered Al-Qaida leader:
“The version of the 45-minute firefight, and the ground-up assault, and the cold-blooded murder on the third floor — that wasn’t the mission,” Pfarrer told TheDC.
“I had to try and figure out, well, look: Why is this story not what I’m hearing? Why is it so off and how is it so off?” he recounted. “One of the things I sort of determined was, OK, somebody was told ‘one of the insertion helicopters crashed.’ OK, well that got muddled to ‘a helicopter crashed on insertion.’”
The helicopters, called “Stealth Hawks,” are inconspicuous machines concealing cutting-edge technology. They entered the compound as planned, with “Razor 1″ disembarking its team of SEALs on the roof of the compound — not on the ground level. There was no crash landing. That wouldn’t occur until after bin Laden was dead.
Meanwhile, “Razor 2″ took up a hovering position so that its on-board snipers, some of whom had also participated in the sea rescue of Maersk Alabama captain Richard Phillips, had a clear view of anyone fleeing the compound.
The SEALs then dropped down from the roof, immediately penetrated the third floor, and hastily encountered bin Laden in his room. He was not standing still.
“He dived across the king-size bed to get at the AKSU rifle he kept by the headboard,” wrote Pfarrer in his book. It was at that moment, a mere 90 seconds after the SEALs first set foot on the roof, that two American bullets shattered bin Laden’s chest and head, killing a man who sought violence to the very end.
President Obama stepped up to a podium in the East Room of the White House that night to announce bin Laden’s death. That rapid announcement, explained Pfarrer, posed a major threat to U.S. national security.
“There was a choice that night,” Pfarrer told TheDC. “There was a choice to keep the mission secret.” America, Pfarrer explained, could have left things alone for “weeks or months … even though there was evidence left on the ground there … and use the intelligence and finish off al-Qaida.”
But Obama’s announcement, he said, “rendered moot all of the intelligence that was gathered from the nexus of al-Qaida. The computer drives, the hard drives, the videocasettes, the CDs, the thumb drives, everything. Before that could even be looked through, the political decision was made to take credit for the operation.”
And in the days that followed, as politicians sought to thrust their identities into the details of the bin Laden kill, the tale began to grow out of control, said Pfarrer.
“The president made a statement, and as far as that goes, that was fine, that was the mission statement,” he explained. “But, soon after … politicians began leaking information from every orifice. And it was like a game of Chinese telephone. These guys didn’t know what they were talking about. Very few of them had even seen the video feed.”
Pfarrer suggests that much of the misinformation was likely born out of operational ignorance, even among those sitting in the White House.
“One of the things that happened was that there were only a handful of people who know about this mission,” he said. “On the civilian side, there were only a handful of people in the situation room who were watching the drone feed. They were looking at the roof of a building taken from a rotating aircraft at 35,000 feet.”
“None of those guys, not a single one of them, had a background in special operations, with the exception of General Webb who was sitting there running a laptop,” Pfarrer went on. “No one knew or could even imagine what was going on inside the building. They didn’t know.”
“There was an alternative feed going to CIA headquarters where Leon Panetta sat there with the communications brevity codes [a guide sheet for the mission's radio lingo] in his lap and a SEAL off-screen by his side to be able to tell him what was going on,” he said. “But these guys, none of them, really knew what they were looking at.”
As the media raised more questions, officials gave more answers.
Whether or not bin Laden resisted ultimately developed into a barrage of murky official and unofficial explanations in the days following. And statements from as high as then-CIA Director Leon Panetta offered confirmation that the endeavor was a “kill mission.”
Pfarrer dismisses that assertion.
“An order to go in and murder someone in their house is not a lawful order,” explained Pfarrer, who maintains that bin Laden would have been captured had he surrendered. “Unlike the Germans in World War II, if you’re a petty officer, a chief petty officer, a naval officer, and you’re giving an order to murder somebody, that’s an unlawful order.”
Pfarrer also suggests some of the emerging claims were simply self-aggrandizing “fairy tales.”
“The story they tried to tell — it’s preposterous. And the CIA tried to jump in. About mid-June the CIA tried to jump into the car and drive the victory lap. There’s this whole stuff about the CIA guy joining the operation, the gallant interpreter — he couldn’t even fast rope!” exclaimed Pfarrer, referring to a technique for descending from an airborne helicopter.
“There’s this fairy tale about him walking out of the compound during the operation to tell crowds of Pakistanis to go home and everything’s OK.”
Pfarrer tried to put this in perspective: “Do you mean that during the middle of this military operation at night, with hovering helicopters over this odd house in this neighborhood, that people came out of their houses to ask what’s going on, instead of [remaining] huddled in their basement?”
“And I think that there were so many of these leaks that were incorrect, the administration couldn’t walk them all back,” Pfarrer explained. “And so, in the middle of May, they froze everything.”
It was that freeze-out that left Chuck Pfarrer with nowhere to turn for the real story but the SEALs themselves.
Seal Target Geronimo delivers an account of the night Osama bin Laden died with a level of detail unlike anything previously reported. Pfarrer bills the story as “absolutely factual.”
“That’s the other thing. I’m prepared for the White House to say, you know, ‘this is full of inaccuracies,’ et cetera,” offered Pfarrer. He told TheDC that in order to protect American interests, his book is “full of names that are made up, and it is full of bases that are not quite where they really should be.”
“But the timeline of my events,” he cautions, “and the manner in which it happened is 100 percent accurate. And they’ll know that.”

“The Al Qaeda chief, who was wearing a tan shalwar kameez and a prayer cap on his head, froze; he was unarmed. ‘There was never any question of detaining or capturing him—it wasn’t a split-second decision. No one wanted detainees,’ the special-operations officer told me. (The Administration maintains that had bin Laden immediately surrendered he could have been taken alive.) Nine years, seven months, and twenty days after September 11th, an American was a trigger pull from ending bin Laden’s life. The first round, a 5.56-mm. bullet, struck bin Laden in the chest. As he fell backward, the SEAL fired a second round into his head, just above his left eye.”Chuck Pfarrer rejects almost all of that story.
“The version of the 45-minute firefight, and the ground-up assault, and the cold-blooded murder on the third floor — that wasn’t the mission,” Pfarrer told TheDC.

Robert Pattinson Makes Parents Proud at Hand and Footprint Ceremony
Robert Pattinson was surrounded by Twihards when he joined real-life love Kristen Stewart and costar Taylor Lautner for their hand and footprint ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood Thursday.
VIDEO: Kristen and Rob exchange vows in Breaking Dawn
But despite their unwavering support, it was Pattinson's parents who were most excited to see the actor take part in the momentous occasion.
"His parents were in the front row and they were cute," an onlooker tells Us Weekly. "His mom was using her personal digital camera to take photos of everything, including the news helicopters circling overhead!"
PHOTOS: Breaking Dawn sneak peek
Pattinson's mother, Clare, and his father, Richard, said they "were doing the tourist thing" while visiting California. "The weather is much better than in England!"
At one point, Clare nudged a pal and said, "This is all a bit wacky!"
PHOTOS: The many sexy faces of Robert Pattinson
Meanwhile, Pattinson -- no doubt happy to reunite with Stewart, 21 -- thanked fans for helping him celebrate the career milestone.
"This is such an incredible honor, how young we are -- it's kind of ridiculous and amazing at the same time," the Brit said. "It's all up to you guys to drive this franchise over the years, so thank you so much for being so consistent. Thank you. You should all come up here and put your hands in!"

Scarlett Johansson admits sending those nude photos to Ryan Reynolds
Scarlett Johansson is speaking out about her nude photo scandal in a surprisingly candid -- and good-humored -- interview with Vanity Fair.
"I know my best angles," says Johansson, who graces the magazine's December cover. "They were sent to my husband (Ryan Reynolds). There's nothing wrong with that. It's not like I was shooting a porno." She adds: "Although there's nothing wrong with that either."
Last month, the FBI arrested the guy who leaked those private photos after hacking into Johansson's phone. (The guy, 35-year-old Christopher Chaney of Jacksonville, Florida, also targeted Mila Kunis, Christina Aguilera and Vanessa Hudgens, among dozens of other starlets.)
After little more than two years of marriage, Johansson and Reynolds -- aka "ScarJo and RyRy" -- split up in November 2010. "I didn't really know what to do with myself," she says of the breakup. "It was such a strange time. There was nothing that was interesting to me. I had a very public separation. It was difficult. I felt very uncomfortable."
Divorce: more humiliating than a nude photo scandal.

Kim K Divorce Blame It On "Intuition"
Kim was on the Australian morning news show "Sunrise" when the host asked how hard she worked to save the 72 day union -- and if there was any counseling involved. Kim said she was just following her heart ... and "there's no right or wrong."
Wonder if Kris H. feels that way.
