Hey, Caroline Kennedy. Chris Brown just called to ask, “What’s your secret?”

He can’t go on a talk show without someone asking him about hitting his girlfriend two years ago.

You go on a talk show the same week as a controversial miniseries about your family — which you reportedly got killed off every major cable network that expressed interest in showing it — is airing. And no interviewer dares ask you Question One about it?

Now, that’s juice.

Last night, Joy Behar, who isn’t exactly known for being shy about political talk, disappointed us all.

Instead of asking the question everyone wants to know — whether the Kennedys flexed serious muscle to muzzle History into killing off “The Kennedys” — Behar stuck to the script Caroline apparently dictated.

The daughter of JFK was on Behar’s Headline News show to talk about her new poetry anthology — “She Walks in Beauty: A Woman’s Journey Through Poems” — and that was that.

So Behar and Caroline talked about Edna St. Vincent Millay — not Norma Jean Baker.

It was not brought up on “Live with Regis and Kelly” the day before, either.

Even though Regis is not known for controversy on his show, how can he, of all people, not at least nudge?

Who doesn’t want to know what it’s like to have Katie Holmes for a mother?

I mean seriously . . . what was the point of Caroline’s appearance then?

To talk poetry?

How do I loathe that?

Let me count the ways.

But he didn’t make his reputation being outspoken like Behar did on “The View.”

Perhaps that’s the point. Behar has no problem walking off “The View” — where she works for Barbara Walters — to show her dislike for Bill O’Reilly. But when it comes to her own show, Behar’s not walking away from a chance to book a Kennedy.

How did they let Caroline slip away like this?

Because, all too often, TV shows cave to the demands of star handlers who require hosts to stick to approved topics in return for the appearance of their famous clients.

These kinds of free passes generally come back to bite the TV host in the ass.

Let’s see how the worm turns after this.
