This Seems to Be the Week for Awkward Celeb Moments

The real question is where have Kelly's hands been?
Ok, so first of all, Clay Aiken shut Kelly Ripa's ass up when he co-hosted Regis and Kelly.
Kel-Kel really didn't like that (don't be a bitch to a bitch, ok?) and spoke out about it the next day, seemingly babying Clay.
Then today Rosie O'Donnell calls Kelly a homophobe and Kelly responds to Rosie unkindly, as well.
"Rosie O'Donnell started a bitchfight with fellow morning-diva Kelly Ripa when she accused Ripa of making a "homophobic" remark.
The fracas started on 'The View' when O'Donnell said that Ripa was 'homophobic' for her scolding of Aiken when he co-hosted her show the other day and playfully put his hand over her mouth, prompting Ripa to snap, 'I don't know where that hand has been.' Rosie suggested that if Aiken had been a 'straight guy, a cute guy' or, for instance, Mario Lopez, Ripa wouldn't have made the same remark. (Aiken, of course, has never said anything publicly about his sexuality.)
Ripa was incensed enough to call into the show immediately, firing back that Rosie's accusation was 'outrageous' and 'irresponsible' and that Ripa made the remark last Friday because it was 'cold and flu season' and that Aiken had shaken the hands of the studio audience. Rosie wasn't buying it, and in acknowledging that she admires Ripa, said that 'from where I sit' as an openly gay woman, Ripa's response was homophobic.
Kelly, for her part, continued to pile on Aiken as well, saying that his behavior on last week's episode was 'disrespectful,' including the fact that he never thanked her for the opportunity to co-host."
Ok, this is just awkward. This is definitely the week for celebs saying or doing offensive things and then the awkward aftermath.
Err...can you be homophobic if someone is not openly gay?
