NEW YORK, July 15 (UPI) -- On Tuesday, Justin Bieber revealed to the world that he has a crush on Kelly Ripa, but the Live! With Kelly and Michael host is weary about the flattering news.

The 22-year-old posted a picture of the television star rocking a white bikini, writing, "Wow Kelly makes me feel some type of way, no disrespect I know she's married! #bigcrush."

On Wednesday's episode of Live With Michael and Kelly, the 44-year-old responded to Bieber's remarks. Although his shout out gave her "street cred" with her teenage daughter, she still think it's "a cry for help."

"Justin, I love you, you know that I've taken my daughter to 400 Justin Bieber concerts, I do believe this is a cry for help. I'm worried about him," Ripa said.

Co-host Michael Strahan couldn't help but crack up as Ripa was expressing this to the audience.

"I just spit up a little bit because that was not what I was expecting to hear," Strahan said.

"If you need me, I am here and you can call me and we will work it out. We see each other, we'll work it out!" Ripa continued to say to the camera.

Strahan even invited Bieber on the show so that they could all talk about how he really felt about the blonde beauty.
