Call your lifelines: ABC wants to make more Millionaires.

The Alphabet network will bring back host Regis Philbin for an 11-night primetime run of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire to celebrate the game show's 10th anniversary this summer. The show will premiere Aug. 9 and run through Aug. 23.

Kelly Ripa Gets Housed in Stiletto Sprint | Today's News: Our Take | 7/11/2008
Morning show co-host Kelly Ripa may be know for her super-fit bod, but turns out her calves of steel were no match for the other runners at the Regis and Kelly High Heel-a-thon that took place Wednesday in Central Park. One hundred plus women (and a few brave men) strapped on their most comfy pumps (now there's an oxymoron) and sprinted a 150-yard dash in them. The Reege didn't compete, but that must have been because he wanted to let someone else win – what a guy! read more

We were promised more energy, more fun and more excitement for this year's Daytime Emmy Awards, and the event delivered.
