Lil’ Kim almost gave Regis Philbin a heart attack when she appeared on “Live with Regis and Kelly” on Wednesday. The 77-year-old talk-show host had been an avid supporter of the Queen Bee when she was on “Dancing with the Stars.”


“My Lil’ Kim!” said Regis upon seeing the latest “DWTS” castoff. “My Regis!” Kim responded while giving him a hug. “Come to me, Regis.”

“We’re both outraged about what happened to you guys,” Regis said, while his co-host stood nearby. “How does this happen?”

“I told ['DWTS' judge Len Goodman] on camera, ‘Stay away from Lil’ Kim!’” exclaimed Regis, to which Kim replied, “That’s right. ’Cause you’re my man.”

“It would be the thrill of my life if I could have a dance with you,” Regis said as Kim gave him a dance he wouldn’t soon forget.
