NEW YORK -- Regis Philbin says he'll return to his syndicated daytime talk show April 26, about six weeks after having triple heart bypass surgery.

Philbin called "Live With Regis and Kelly" on Monday to say he'd been "through the wars" in his recovery but was building up strength by walking and lifting light weights.

He joked that when he returns to the show, he won't be the "fun-loving Reege" that he was before because his whole personality had changed because of the operation.

The last time Philbin, 75, called the show, he seemed to complain about not having sex for 3 1/2 months. On Monday, he clarified what he meant to say.

"I said, `What did I yell out this time?' She said, `Well, you yelled out you didn't have sex for 3 1/2 months.' I said, `Well, that's funny. I'll tell that to Kelly. Well, I haven't heard the end of that since I brought that up, like a dope!"

Last month, Philbin told his audience he was getting the operation because "there's some plaque in some arteries and I've got to get it cleaned out."

Madonna flew to Lilongwe, Malawi, on a silver jet Monday to continue her charity work in the impoverished southern African country, bringing along the Malawian boy she is in the process of adopting.

The pop star, 48, wearing a baseball cap, carried a small boy down the steps of the jet, and a child's seat was fixed into a waiting sport utility vehicle. Her three-vehicle motorcade then drove off at top speed to a luxury lodge, followed by journalists.

Madonna visited Malawi last fall to pick up year-old David Banda, who was in an orphanage after the death of his mother. That visit set off a controversy over concerns that regulations were being swept aside to benefit a pop star who has been generous to the country.

After a rest in Lilongwe, Madonna toured U.N.-backed development projects in the village of Mtanga. Madonna's daughter, Lourdes, 9, accompanied her.

Angry crowds in several Indian cities burned effigies of Richard Gere on Monday after he swept a popular Bollywood actress into his arms and kissed her during an AIDS-awareness event.

Photographs of the actor, 57, embracing Shilpa Shetty and kissing her on the cheek at the event in New Delhi were splashed across Monday's front pages in India -- a country where sex and public displays of affection are largely taboo.

In Mumbai, members of the right-wing Hindu nationalist group Shiv Sena beat burning effigies of Gere with sticks and set fire to glamorous shots of Shetty. Similar protests broke out in other cities, including Varanasi, Hinduism's holiest city, and in the northern town of Meerut.

Philbin, 75, called Live With Regis and Kelly on Monday to say he had been "through the wars" in his recovery but was building up strength by walking and lifting light weights. He joked with co-host Kelly Ripa that when he returns to the show, he won't be the "fun-loving Reege" that he was before because his whole personality had changed because of the operation.

Nude photographs of Kate Moss will be sold at an auction in London on May 31 among a series of other pictures of the British supermodel, Christie's auctioneers said Monday.

Two portraits, a 1996 print by Irving Penn and a 6-by-6-foot square image by Albert Watson, are expected to sell for about $44,000 and $30,000 respectively, the auction house said.
