OK, Pippa, this is a bummer.

Kelly Ripa and Regis Philbin, her Live cohost for 11 years, are no longer in touch.

On Wednesday, the Hollywood Reporter asked Kelly, who now cohosts the morning show with Michael Strahan, if she'd talked to Regis since his November 2011 departure. "I haven't seen him, no," she said.

She did, however, speak kindly of Regis, saying he and Michael are "both incredible storytellers."

"They are both fiercely competitive," she added, then jokingly said, "And they're both incredible football players."

Regis has not paid a visit to Live since he said goodbye to his nearly 25-year stint on the show. He has, however, appeared regularly on Rachael Ray.

Can't Gelman just help patch things up?
