  • Kelly Ripa And Michael Strahan’s Show Gets Approved Through 2020

    TV partners Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan are due to continue their hosting duties on daytime television. Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution confirmed that Live! with Kelly and Michael has been renewed with hosts Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan at the helm.

    Live! with Kelly and Michael has been renewed through 2020. Disney/ABC has also set another long-term renewal with the game show, Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

    “We are exceptionally proud of Live’s unparalleled success and are thrilled to extend our highly-valued partnership with the ABC-owned stations for many more years to come,” said Janice Marinelli, president of Disney/ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution. “We are also very pleased to extend our relationship with their strong stations on Millionaire, which continues to resonate with viewers across the country.”

    The renewals are for the majority of stations owned by ABC.  Live! with Kelly and Michael is aired on eight ABC O&Os in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Fresno, Raleigh-Durham, and Houston. Who Wants to be a Millionaire”, which is hosted by Chris Harrison, has also been renewed on the ABC-owned stations through the 2016-17 seasons with the exception of WLS-TV Chicago.

    Live! is among the most successful syndicated franchises in the history of television. It started airing in 1988 with Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford as the hosts. Kelly Ripa succeeded Gifford, who left in 2001, while Strahan replaced Philbin in 2012.

    “Audiences love watching Live! with Kelly and Michael. During the last week of 2015, the show achieved a 1.8 rating with women 25-54, the highest rating in that demo of any talk show this season,” said ABC Owned Television Stations Group president Rebecca Campbell in a statement. “Produced by our owned station WABC-TV, we are extremely proud of Live’s ability to innovate and connect with viewers and look forward to that continuing into the next decade.”

  • Lamar Odom Walking Again, Khloe Kardashian Thrilled

    Lamar Odom is walking again, and Khloe Kardashian is thrilled with the progress he’s making.

    It was during an interview on Live! With Kelly and Michael that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star shared an update on the former NBA player’s condition.

    “It’s such a relief,” she told Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan. “It was terrifying and scary. No one knew what was going to happen. And what’s crazy is because he’s an athlete, I really think having so many years of working out every single day — he wasn’t even walking three weeks ago, and now he’s walking.”

    Kardashian recently had Lamar Odom transferred from Cedars Sinai Medical Center to a private rehab facility, where he will relearn many of the skills he lost from being in a coma following his near-fatal overdose in October.

    “We were able to leave the hospital–he was able to walk out of the hospital,” Khloe said. “And it was such a great thing. You get strolled on in there, he didn’t really even know where he was, and he [was] able to walk out on his own. So I’m happy for him and how he’s trying, and he’s really making great strides. And that’s a testament to his own will and desire to get better.”

    Khloe Karashian has remained faithful to Lamar Odom, even if he didn’t always remain faithful to her. His penchant for wandering weighed heavily into her decision to divorce him. Since his overdose, however, Khloe withdrew divorce papers. She has no intention of getting back together with Lamar Odom, but felt he deserved to not deal with a divorce in the midst of working to get well.

    Do you expect the day will come–sooner, rather than later–that Lamar Odom will realize just how much Khloe Kardashian has done for him? Hopefully that realization–coupled with the fact that she will no doubt proceed with divorce plans–doesn’t send him into another drug-induced spiral.

  • Khloe Kardashian Shares Exciting News About Lamar Odom, Talks New Hairstyle

    Khloe Kardashian has spent a lot of time encouraging her estranged husband Lamar Odom on his road to recovery since he nearly died from an accidental overdose at a Nevada brothel in October. During a conversation with Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan on Live! With Kelly and Michael on Friday, Khloe shared some exciting news about Lamar’s progress.

    It was just over a week ago that Lamar checked out of the hospital and into a rehab facility to further his recovery. For the first time yet, it sounds like he is making great strides in that recovery.

    “It’s such a relief,” Khloe Kardashian said. “It was terrifying and scary. No one knew what was going to happen. And what’s crazy is because he’s an athlete, I really think having so many years of working out every single day–he wasn’t even walking three weeks ago, and now he’s walking.”

    She adds that when she had Lamar transferred from Cedars Sinai Medical Center that he left on his own two feet.

    “We were able to leave the hospital — he was able to walk out of the hospital,” she said. “And it was such a great thing. You get strolled on in there, he didn’t really even know where he was, and he [was] able to walk out on his own. So I’m happy for him and how he’s trying, and he’s really making great strides. And that’s a testament to his own will and desire to get better.”

    Khloe Kardashian also dished about her new, shorter hairstyle that is very attractive on her 40 pounds lighter frame.

    “I cut all my hair off because I was in the hospital ad I just felt like I needed–like once I got out of there for a minute, I was like, ‘I need to get rid of this negativity,’” she explained.

    Khloe Kardashian must feel like a huge weight has been lifted–not only through cutting off all that hair, but from Lamar Odom’s recent improvements.

    Hopefully Khloe realizes the impact she has no doubt had on his recovery.

  • Lucy Hale Eats Grasshopper Tacos, Gets Legs in Her Teeth

    Lucy Hale made a big mistake when chatting with Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan on Live! With Kelly and Michael on Tuesday. Ahead her her appearance, the hosts learned she is a big fan of Andrew Zimmerman, the host of the Travel Channel series Bizarre Foods.

    “I live for that show,” she told the co-hosts. “I mean, I could watch it all day long. I will try anything once, but…”

    “Oh, you will?” Strahan eagerly asked. “We got something for you.”

    “I just got myself into some trouble,” Lucy Hale said.

    Kelly Ripa had been trying to get her attention to signal to her.

    “I was trying to signal you with my eyes. Like, ‘Don’t say it!’” she said.

    Lucy Hale was then presented with four options. They included chocolate covered larvae, oxtail, grasshopper tacos, and cold jellyfish.

    The oxtail wasn’t even a consideration.

    “This just looks heinous!” the Pretty Little Liars star said.

    She passed on the cold jellyfish, too.

    Hale and Ripa started out by trying the chocolate covered larvae.

    “That’s too easy!” Michael Strahan chided, even though he didn’t try them.

    He did, however, give the grasshopper tacos a try.

    “I just want everyone to see that this is real. There are grasshoppers in this,” Lucy Hale said.

    “I actually enjoyed those,” she added. “Thank you.”

    “It tastes just like chicken!” Strahan said.

    “It’s not bad,” Lucy Hale said before admitting she had some leftovers. “I feel like I’ve got the legs in my teeth right now.”

    Would you have been as brave as Lucy Hale, Michael Strahan, and Kelly Ripa in trying some of these rather disgusting food items?

    And how about that oxtail? Would you have given that a go or would you have taken a stand on that one, the way Lucy Hale did?

  • Michael Strahan to Host “$100,000 Pyramid” Reboot on ABC

    Michael Strahan is spreading his TV hosting wings. In addition to co-hosting Live! With Kelly and Michael alongside Kelly Ripa, he will soon be hosting a game show, too. A reboot of The $100,000 Pyramid is set to air this summer, and ABC has ordered 10 episodes.

    The late Dick Clark hosted the original version of the game show, which first aired in 1973 on CBS. It moved to ABC the following year. Since then different versions have aired on cable and in syndication, but this upcoming version marks the first time it will appear as a regular prime time series.

    Something weighing heavily on ABC’s decision to order the show is the success of Steve Harvey’s Celebrity Family Feud that aired during last summer’s prime time lineup. Michael Strahan has a similar appeal as Harvey. But will the show be as much fun?

    The $100,000 Pyramid pairs a celebrity and an average person against another celebrity and another average person, according to Entertainment Weekly. These pairs compete in playing a word association game, with Michael Strahan interjecting his own brand of humor in his role as host.

    Are you a fan of Michael Strahan on Live! With Kelly and Michael? Can you see the New York Giants Hall of Famer making his mark on the TV game show world?

  • Hayden Panettiere Makes First Public Appearance Since Entering Treatment Center for Postpartum Depression

    Hayden Panettiere made her first public appearance on Saturday since entering a treatment facility for postpartum depression. She had battled the condition since the birth of her daughter Kaya last December.

    It was ringside in support of fiance, heavyweight boxer Wladimir Klitschko, that Hayden Panettiere made her appearance this weekend. She was there in support of his defense of his world title against Tyson Fury in Germany.

    The Nashville star entered the treatment facility in October. She was very open about her suffering during an interview on Live! With Kelly and Michael in September.

    “There’s a lot of misunderstanding,” she said. “There’s a lot of people out there that think that it’s not real, that it’s not true, that it’s something that’s made up in their minds, that ‘Oh, it’s hormones.’ They brush it off. It’s something that’s completely uncontrollable. It’s really painful and it’s really scary and women need a lot of support.”

    Hayden Panettiere looked adorable on Saturday, sporting a plaid mini-skirt and cream striped sweater, with black tights and a tan fedora. She even wrapped a Ukranian flag around her shoulders in support of her fiance.

    Wladimir Klitschko, as it turns out, needed more than his beloved’s support. His World Heavyweight Champ reign came to an end after 11 years in a surprising upset by Tyson Fury.

    Kudos to Hayden Panettiere for entering a treatment facility for postpartum depression, and for speaking out about the perils of the illness, too. Too many women still believe they are weak or not good mothers when they give in to treatment for the very serious post-birth illness.

  • Kelly Ripa Prepares for Huge Change in Family Situation

    Kelly Ripa is getting ready for the biggest change in her family’s living situation since she married Mark Consuelos. No, Kelly and Mark aren’t getting a divorce or opting for a long-distance marriage on opposite coasts. However the change that is coming will impact the entire family–and almost that severely.

    Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa are preparing to send their oldest child, Michael, off to college.

    To truly understand this impact, it’s important to note that Mark and Kelly have long strived to eat dinner as a family with their children every night.

    “My husband had dinner as a family every night growing up and he was like, ‘We are having family dinner every night, no matter what,’” Kelly Ripa tells ABC News. “And we do that. It means so much to the kids, it means so much to me. Does it always go as planned? Of course not.”

    This upcoming shift in the family dynamics will be felt by all the family members.

    “We just finished all of our applications and I cannot for the life of me, I can’t believe it,” Kelly says. “We keep looking at each other [Mark and I], he drives now, he can do all of these things. I’m so proud of him. He’s never asked us for extravagant things like cars and all of that stuff. As long as he has his Metro Card, he’s happy as a clam.”

    “Every time he’s leaves the house, I stare at Mark and say, ‘I cannot believe we gave birth to that kid.’ He’s so much bigger than us. He’s so much taller than us. He’s so much cooler than us, without even knowing he’s cool. I adore all three of them, but there’s something about that firstborn child going off. It feels crazy,” the Live! With Kelly and Michael host adds.

    Despite the bittersweet emotions, Kelly Ripa is ready to see her son shine.

    “He’s very introverted, he does not reveal a lot of himself,” she says. “We used to play this game, which one of our children would we want to have lunch with in 30 years. Michael usually wins that game. He’s such a natural introvert, but so creative and interesting.”

    Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa are still a long way from becoming empty nesters, even though Michael will head to college next fall. They still have son Joaquin and daughter Lola at home.

    Fans of Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have watched their kids grow up. Can you believe son Michael is old enough to be preparing for college?

  • Kelly Ripa And Michael Strahan Dominate Daytime Costume Game

    Kelly Ripa surprises viewers every year with better and better costumes as time goes on.

    Whether her costumes are pop culture-themed or current events-oriented, Kelly Ripa is at the top of the daytime costume game.

    Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan pulled out all the stops this year, portraying the likes of Kim Kardashian (in her famous champagne-popping Paper cover) and Kanye West, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker and even Donald Trump made an appearance.

    Clearly, Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan had an amazing time.

    Take a look:

    Of course, Katy Perry and “left shark” were part of the costume parade.

    Poor #MichaelStrahan….haha!! #LIVEhalloween #KellyandMichael #KatyPerry #LeftShark

    Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan ended the show with a bang, bringing back original hosts of the show, Kathie Lee Gifford and Regis Philbin.

    Apparently they wake from a nightmare to find…

    This was great!

  • Kelly Ripa Channels Kim Kardashian West for Halloween, Tries to Break Internet

    Kelly Ripa channeled her inner Kim Kardashian West with one of her Halloween costumes this past week on Live! With Kelly and Michael, and she tried to break the internet as she did it.

    Copying Kim Kardashian West’s infamous Paper magazine cover in December 2014, Kelly Ripa posed with a disproportionately large butt a la Kim Kardashian West.

    This–and Kelly Ripa’s other Halloween costume options–wound up on Instagram.

    “#Repost @usweekly: Exclusive sneak peek: #KellyRipa is ready to break the Internet with this costume for the @kellyandmichael Halloween special! Hit the link in the @UsWeekly bio to see what else she has in store. (Photo credit: David M. Russell/Disney ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution) #LIVEhalloween #KimKardashian,” the caption reads.

    In addition to the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, Kelly Ripa also portrayed her version of Donald Trump during the week’s Halloween antics.

    Gelman got in on the act, too, as he joined Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan in recreating some favorite Star Wars characters for Halloween.

  • Michael Strahan, Kelly Ripa Channel Their Inner “Magic Mike” for Halloween

    Michael Strahan and Kelly Ripa of Live! With Kelly and Michael are channeling their inner Magic Mike for Halloween.

    The talk show hosts shared their costumes earlier this week via Instagram.

    “Haha! #LIVEhalloween Countdown Costume Reveal! #MagicMike #KellyandMichael #ArtMoore @gelmanlive TUNE IN this Friday for our #Halloween Show! #KellyRipa #MichaelStrahan,” the caption reads.

    Michael Strahan clearly looks the part of a Magic Mike-type dancer, but poor Kelly Ripa makes an incredibly wimpy-looking man. She even has faux chest hair.

    Michael Strahan actually appeared in Magic Mike XXL, and that’s probably where the two came up with the idea for dressing this way for Halloween.

    In addition to showing off this year’s Halloween costumes, Michael Strahan and Kelly Ripa will run down some of their costumes from the past few years as well. Last year Kelly Ripa dressed up as Miley Cyrus and Michael Strahan was Robin Thicke.

    Don’t you love how creative Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan get each year for Halloween on Live! With Kelly and Michael?

  • Hayden Panettiere On Her Struggles With Postpartum Depression

    Hayden Panettiere learned recently that art really does imitate real life when she had a similar experience with postpartum depression as her Nashville character, Juliette Barnes.

    After giving birth to daughter Kaya Klitschko last December, the 26-year-old actress said she too suffered from the all too common disorder.

    “It’s something I can very much relate to,” Panettiere revealed Monday during an appearance on Live! With Kelly and Michael. “It’s something a lot of women experience. When [you are told] about postpartum depression you think it’s ‘I feel negative feelings towards my child; I want to injure or hurt my child.’ I’ve never, ever had those feelings. Some women do. But you don’t realize how broad of a spectrum you can really experience that on. It’s something that needs to be talked about. Women need to know that they’re not alone, and that it does heal.”

    Like so many other women who suffer from postpartum depression, Panettiere said the shame and misunderstanding surrounding the condition kept her silent.

    “There’s a lot of people out there that think that it’s not real, that it’s not true, that it’s something that’s made up in their minds, that ‘Oh, it’s hormones.’ They brush it off,” said Panettiere. “It’s something that’s completely uncontrollable. It’s really painful and it’s really scary and women need a lot of support.”

    She added, “Women are amazing. We do something that no man can do on this planet. I mean, we grow a human being in our body!”

    Panettiere’s fiancé, heavyweight champion, Wladimir Klitschko, apparently has a secret wish to experience pregnancy.

    “If Wlad figured out a way to get pregnant and he could have the baby, we would be going right now, no problem,” said Panettiere, who added that the couple plan on having four children altogether.

    “When I was pregnant, he did this thing where he would suck in his stomach and then I would put my stomach to his so that he could feel when she was moving — almost like she was in his stomach,” Panettiere said. “He wanted to feel what it was like to have a baby as close to him as it was to me.”

  • Kelly Ripa and Hubby Mark Consuelos Nursing Injuries

    Kelly Ripa broke her foot at a dance class about a week ago. Now her husband, Mark Consuelos, has an injury of his own.

    It was Thursday when the husband of the Live! With Kelly and Michael star shared word of his injury via Instagram.

    Kelly Ripa reposted it on her Instagram account.

    “ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW??????????? WTF?????” she posted the shot of herself with her hubby–both looking a little bit uncomfortable and very much down in the dumps.

    A photo posted by Kelly Ripa (@kellyripa) on

    Mark Consuelos suffered a small tear in his calf–resulting in him wearing the same kind of medical boot as Kelly Ripa.

    A funny twist to a not-so-funny situation, is that Consuelos picked on Kelly Ripa when she broke her foot.

    “Mark is at the hospital with me and has never in 21 years felt the need to photograph me, videotape me, when I have full hair and makeup,” Kelly Ripa aid on the July 30 episode of her show. “But yesterday, he followed me around with a camera, he was never more alive, he loved this moment of suffering.”

    Kelly Ripa has to wear her boot for about six weeks. That means one down and five to go. Will Mark Consuelos be laid up as long as his wife?

    And how will Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa fare nursing their respective injuries in the days to come?

  • Kate Mara: Her Dad Hates Her Hair

    Kate Mara: Her Dad Hates Her Hair

    Kate Mara is pulling off one of Hollywood’s most coveted accessories: the pixie cut.

    She’s not just pulling it off, actually. Kate Mara is killing it.

    Not everyone has the face for that style, you know.

    However, on Tuesday’s episode of Live with Kelly and Michael, Kate Mara admitted that not everyone thinks it’s so great.

    Kate Mara used to have lovely, flowing, brunette locks. They were apparently very special to her father.

    When Kate Mara sat in the guest chair, Kelly Ripa, a fan of drastic hair changes herself, focused immediately on her new haircut.

    When Kelly Ripa asked about the ease of her new pixie, whether it was more or less work than her long hair, Kate Mara gushed, “Oh, less! I don’t have to wash it now, I don’t have to brush it. I love it.”

    Hmmm, I wonder if Kelly Ripa will take a break from the wild colors for a while and go with a drastic cut?

    Shady's back, tell a friend…….. @ryantrygstadhair

    Anyway, when Kelly asked about the reactions that Kate Mara received about her haircut, she admitted that, while most were positive, there was one big negative.

    Her own daddy.

    “I got a lot of nice things,” she said, but “I got one sort of negative thing said to me. I text messaged my dad the other day saying ‘I miss you’, and his response was, ‘I miss your hair.’ So, thanks Dad!”

    Awww, poor Kate Mara! Well, I’m sure her dad will get over it. I mean, it’s just hair.

    After all, when Kate Mara cut her hair, one can really see the resemblance between her and her sister, Rooney Mara, right?

    What do you think about Kate Mara’s new pixie? Do you think you would ever try it?

  • Kate Mara’s Dad Has Something to Say About Her New Pixie Haircut

    Kate Mara’s dad is not exactly a fan of her new hair style.

    The Fantastic Four actress unveiled a super-short pixie haircut earlier this summer for the press tour of the film and her favorite fan is none too pleased.

    During an appearance on Live With Kelly and Michael on Tuesday, Kelly Ripa couldn’t wait to get to Mara’s new hairstyle.

    Is the style more work or less than her formerly long locks? asked Ripa.

    “Oh, less!” Mara replied. “I don’t have to wash it now, I don’t have to brush it. I love it.”

    When Ripa asked how others have reacted to the daring new look, Kate Mara said the reactions were mostly positive, save for one.

    “I got a lot of nice things,” she said, but “I got one sort of negative thing said to me. I text messaged my dad the other day saying I miss you, and his response was, I miss your hair. So, thanks Dad!”

    The stylist responsible for Mara’s new look, L’Oréal Paris hairstylist Mara Roszak, told People magazine that the actress herself was the inspiration for the bold move.

    “A pixie is something that is a major decision to do; the person has to be prepared, and she immediately owned it,” Roszak said of Kate Mara. “She has such beautiful bone structure and features, so I knew going pixie would be perfect on her. It’s something she’s always wanted to do and the response has been amazing.”

    What do you all think of Kate Mara‘s short do?

  • Kelly Ripa Breaks Foot In Dance Class, Says It Sounded Like Bubble Wrap

    Kelly Ripa is always moving, it seems, and dance class is a part of her regular schedule.

    However, during a dance class this week, Kelly Ripa bit the floor pretty hard when she tumbled over a hand weight that had been left in the floor.

    Kelly Ripa’s foot took the brunt of the injury, leaving her in a boot for six weeks.

    Kelly Ripa described her injury on Thursday’s episode of Live! with Kelly and Michael.

    She said, “I was in a dance class which I typically, usually am, and somebody had left a weight on the floor. …All I know is, I did a jump — and in my mind I am an incredible dancer as graceful as can be — and I landed on the weight and my foot went over and under the weight.”

    Kelly Ripa then made everyone cringe as she described the noise her foot made as similar to the sound bubble wrap makes.

    Eeew. Ouch.

    Kelly Ripa went on to say that she didn’t call an ambulance, as she wanted to avoid being on the nightly news, so she crawled out of class quietly.

    While Kelly Ripa was in torment with a broken foot, her husband, Mark Consuelos, was taking full advantage in her moment of weakness.

    Kelly Ripa shared, “Mark is at the hospital with me and has never in 21 years felt the need to photograph me, videotape me, when I have full hair and makeup.”

    She added, “But yesterday, he followed me around with a camera, he was never more alive, he loved this moment of suffering.”

    Oh, my. What a way to end summer!

    What did you think of Kelly Ripa’s obviously painful but sort of hilarious accident?

  • Kelly Ripa Compares Sound of Breaking Foot to Popping Bubble Wrap

    Kelly Ripa broke her foot this week during a dance class and showed up on the set of Live! With Kelly and Michael on Thursday with crutches.

    Co-host Michael Strahan helped Kelly get to her on-set chair just in time to hear her explain what happened.

    “I was in a dance class which I typically, usually am, and somebody had left a weight on the floor….All I know is, I did a jump–and in my mind I am an incredible dancer as graceful as can be–and I landed on the weight and my foot went over and under the weight,” Kelly Ripa explained.

    She also shared that the moment she broke her foot “sounded like bubble wrap.”

    If that’s not enough to give readers a sick feeling in the pits of their stomachs, then they have a good bit of resolve.

    Kelly Ripa insisted those at the dance facility not call an ambulance, as she was afraid she’d wind up on the nightly news.

    On the upside of Ripa’s injury, she won’t have to undergo surgery to repair her broken foot.

    “I’m not going to be in this that long,” Kelly Ripa said of her inflatable boot. “Six weeks, I give it three weeks.”

    “This was my big hope and my dream that nobody would notice,” Ripa added about her injury. “It’s very traumatic looking but I feel fine.”

    Do you suppose Kelly Ripa will at least get a bit of pampering out of her injury? Maybe hubby Mark Consuelos and co-star Michael Strahan will take extra-good care of Kelly in light of the crutches and boot.

    She actually shared a funny story about her husband and her injury.

    “Mark is at the hospital with me and has never in 21 years felt the need to photograph me, videotape me, when I have full hair and makeup,” Kelly Ripa explained to her audience. “But yesterday, he followed me around with a camera, he was never more alive, he loved this moment of suffering.”

    Oh, yes. It sounds like Mark Consuelos owes Kelly Ripa for that one.

    Michael Strahan is unlikely to get off the hook as well.

    Now if only Kelly Ripa hadn’t compared that break to the sound of popping bubble wrap, everyone else besides Michael Strahan and Mark Consuelos could forget about her broken foot.

  • Kelly Ripa Enjoys Co-Host Michael Strahan’s $7500 TV Blunder

    Uh oh. It looks like Kelly Ripa infected Michael Strahan with her TV blooper virus.

    After making a fool of herself a few days back by not fully knowing what Ashley Madison was, Strahan got a little bit of redemption as she witnessed her co-host give away a free trip during Tuesday’s airing of their show  Live! With Kelly and Michael.

    The hilarious TV blunder happened after Strahan misheard a caller’s answer to a trivia segment of their show. The lucky caller is now bound for a $7500 trip to Rio Grande, Puerto Rico.

    “On yesterday’s show, we talked to Jeremy Renner. What sport did Jeremy say he once taught at a part-time job?” the former NFL star asked caller, Kelly Copeland.

    Given only 20 seconds, the caller made sure of the host’s question.

    “Sport?” she said.

    Unfortunately, Strahan’s ear was not functioning well at the time.

    “Bowling, you got it!” the TV host imediately replied.

    Of course, the audience cheered on as to what looked like a correct answer from the lucky caller.

    Ripa, however, had the chance to get back at her cohost.

    “She said ‘sport,” Ripa clarified to her co-host. Straham quickly covered his face with embarrassment after realizing the ridiculous mistake that he made.

    “This is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to us!” Ripa said.

    The moment was just TV magic and Ripa even jokingly suggested to Copeland that she has to bring Strahan with her.

    As Ripa and the audience laugh at the mishap, Strahan was observing the producers off camera.

    “Well, you know what’s funny is that some of the producers are looking at me like ‘you in trouble,’ and the other ones are laughing at me,” said the nervous host.

    Nevertheless, Kelly Copeland did legitimately win the prized trip as she correctly answered the question without hearing Strahan’s congratulatory slip-up.

  • Kelly Ripa Co-Host Michael Strahan Gives Away Puerto Rican Vacation by Accident

    Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan are known for making people laugh on Live! With Kelly and Michael. Michael Strahan wasn’t laughing earlier this week, however, when he realized he accidentally awarded one of the show’s callers a Puerto Rican vacation–and she even hadn’t answered the trivia question correctly.

    It seems Strahan misheard the caller’s answer.

    “On yesterday’s show, we talked with Jeremy Renner. What sport did Jeremy say he once taught as a part-time job?” he asked the caller, right before a timer giving the caller 20 seconds to answer began to tick.

    “Sport?” the caller asked, which Strahan obviously misheard, as he announced, “Bowling! You got it!”

    Kelly Ripa loved the fact that her co-host messed up.

    “She said sport,” she told Michael Strahan.

    “This is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to us,” Ripa told the caller with a laugh.

    Michael Strahan was afraid the producers might be upset with him, but soon he realized they were as amused by his mistake as Kelly Ripa was.

    The show chose to award the trip to the caller just the same. She will soon be heading to Puerto Rico, while Michael Strahan is likely to be forever ribbed by Kelly Ripa for his mistake.

    If this has happened on the show before, it hasn’t made news. Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan give away many trips each year to their call-in trivia winners.

    Do you suppose Kelly Ripa will talk to the call-ins from now on in light of Michael Strahan’s hilarious mistake?

  • Kelly Ripa Wants To Be ‘Partnered Up’ On Ashley Madison

    So apparently, anything can now be a headline, including the curious case of the flustered Kelly Ripa in a segment about Ashley Madison on last week’s  Live With Kelly and Michael.

    The morning talk show host, together with her partner, Michael Strahan, talked about the latest buzz that is the Ashley Madison meltdown.

    Ashley Madison, with the slogan “Life is short. Have an affair,” is a dating site for married men and women. So, it’s basically a cheating pub for bored spouses. And in a recent comedic turn of events, the karma gods struck the website for adulterers by sending hackers to infiltrate and retrieve confidential information to the dismay of its users.

    On Live With Kelly and Michael, the two hosts had a little chit chat regarding the site and Michael suddenly asked a riveting question that seemed to rattle Kelly a bit.

    “So, question: What if your wife finds out that you’re on Ashley Madison? But then you find out she’s on it too?” Michael asked.

    Well, clearly this has to confuse any heterosexual woman being asked a question about her wife.

    Kelly replied with “Are you asking me, or are you asking…who are you asking? If I found out Mark was on Ashley Madison?”

    The innocent question by Michael was the problem, contextually that is.

    That is, until Ripa started rambling.

    “I hope we both are on Ashley Madison. I hope so,” Ripa said. “I hope we get partnered up, that would be amazing. That would be incredible. I’m joining today. Babe, if you’re watching this, and I know you’re not, but if you are…if somebody is near Mark at the gym, join Ashley Madison. I’m going to do it today.”

    Luckily, we all had the answer we were looking for last Friday. So it turns out that Kelly had no clear idea what Ashley Madison was about.

    “I didn’t realize it was people who want to cheat on each other,” she confessed. “I thought it was just men.”

  • Kelly Ripa Calls ‘Southpaw’ Star Jake Gyllenhaal ‘Perfect’

    Kelly Ripa got it right when she called Southpaw star Jake Gyllenhaal “perfect” this week.

    The morning talk show hostess went all weak at the knees at the sight of Jake Gyllenhaal on his appearance of Live With Michael and Kelly to promote his flick Southpaw.

    As soon as he walked out onto the stage, Kelly Ripa asked if she could rub his beard. When he obliged her request, she gushed to the audience, “Oh, it’s soft!”

    It was almost embarrassing when Kelly Ripa asked Jake if he uses beard conditioner.

    “No, it’s genetic,” replied Gyllenhaal.

    After a few minutes of pleasantries, Ripa finally exclaimed, “Oh…wow you are perfect, aren’t you?”

    And his answer? “Totally perfect.”

    Way to own it, Jake!

    Jake Gyllenhaal truly is a fine specimen as the world can attest, but he has made it clear that the chiseled body he has attained to play a boxer in Southpaw did not come without some hard work.

    His trainer, Terry Claybon, told E! News that Jake Gyllenhaal went from 147 pounds to a ripped 175 pounds in just six months.

    “He wasn’t in any shape at all,” Claybon said. “We met at a boxing gym, and he was jumping rope. Just the way he was jumping rope, I knew we had a lot of work to do.”

    The workout sessions included at least “2,000 sit-ups a day, push-ups, dips, flipping 350 pound tires, and running eight miles five days a week.”

    There you go Kelly Ripa … that explains it.

  • Kelly Ripa Reacts To Justin Bieber’s “Big Crush” Instagram Post

    Kelly Ripa joined a list of young ladies who have the privilege of being on Justin Bieber’s Instagram.

    On Wednesday, Justin Bieber posted a pic of Kelly Ripa that appears to be from a pretty long time ago.

    The pic features Kelly Ripa in a white bikini lying on a bed.

    The caption for the shot read, “Wow Kelly makes me feel some type of way.”

    It continued, “No disrespect I know she’s married! #bigcrush.”

    Oh my, that must have been quite the boost to Kelly Ripa’s ego!

    On Wednesday’s episode of Live! With Kelly and Michael, the two hosts discussed the post.

    Kelly Ripa joked, “Justin I love you, you know I’ve taken my daughter to 400 Justin Bieber concerts, I do believe this is a cry for help. I’m worried about Justin, I’m worried about him. Justin if you need me, call me I am here, and we can work it out.”

    “You can see all this in person,” said Kelly as she stood up and posed. “You can see all these curves in person.”

    Where the picture of Kelly Ripa in a bikini came from is somewhat of a mystery, and that was the first thing her husband, Mark Consuelos, wanted to know.

    “Mark literally said ‘Where did they find that picture?’ And I said a dentist office from 1980. I think it’s from a photo shoot from Hampton’s magazine. I’m wearing a bikini and that is typically not something I do, at least not in public anyway.”

    The pic did serve one purpose for Kelly Ripa.

    She said, “Thank you Justin, you really gave me tremendous street cred with my daughter, so thank you.”

    What did you think about Justin Bieber posting that bikini pic of Kelly Ripa?
