  • Kelly Ripa Exposed In Skimpy Lingerie Courtesy Of Justin Bieber — ‘No Disrespect’

    Twenty- one-year-old Justin Bieber uploaded a sexy photo of Live! With Kelly And Michael co-host Kelly Ripa on Instagram last Tuesday.

    The monochromatic photo showed the 44-year-old former soap opera actress sprawled on a bed and wearing only a white laced bikini.

    Capped with the message that seeing Ripa gives him a certain feeling, Bieber added a disclaimer that he meant “no disrespect” to the TV personality as he knew she was happily married.

    Wow Kelly makes me feel some type of way no disrespect I know she’s married! #bigcrush

    The TV host has been married to actor Mark Consuelos for 19 years now, and the couple has three kids: 18-year-old Michael, 14-year-old Lola and 12-year-old Joaquin.

    Ripa and co-host Michael Strahan discussed the snapshot posted on the photo-sharing site on Wednesday during their morning show.

    When Strahan jokingly referred to Ripa as “you sexy mama you”, Ripa expressed her serious opinions in the lightest manner possible.

    The former blue-haired co-host stated that she adored Bieber and has, in fact, attended the singer’s concerts with her daughter.

    But Ripa added that Bieber’s actions were perhaps a hint that the Canadian born-singer needed help, and that she’s concerned.

    The TV personality offered to help Bieber as well, and said that all Bieber has to do is give her a call.

    The blond co-host also revealed what her husband remarked after seeing the photo.

    According to Ripa, Consuelos simply asked “Where did they find that picture?”

    The TV host had a hunch that the photo was grabbed from a Hamptons magazine pictorial, according to Mail Online.

    On the other hand, Bieber has uploaded another photo following Ripa’s hot picture on Instagram. This time, the shot was a shirtless picture of him sitting on the side of a pool.

  • Regis Philbin, Kathie Lee Gifford Together Again on ‘Today’ Show

    Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford are back together again. This time the stars of Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee have come together on NBC’s Today Show after spending 15 years apart.

    Kathie Lee Gifford stars alongside Hoda Kotb on the fourth hour of Today each morning. Regis Philbin was just named a contributor to the fourth hour of the show.

    “Regis brings his legendary charm and humor each time he visits Today,” Tammy Filler, the co-executive producer of Today, said in a statement. “His energy is infectious, and when Regis is around, you never know what will happen.”

    No stranger to the Today Show, Regis Philbin has appeared on the morning show several times in the past few months. He was a huge hit in Today The Musical–a sing-along that aired back in December.

    When Kathie Lee Gifford left Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee back in 2000, Regis Philbin brought in Kelly Ripa as his co-host. When he retired, the show became Live! With Kelly and Michael, with Michael Strahan serving as Kelly Ripa’s sidekick. Ripa and Philbin have lost touch since he retired from the show.

    During a segment on Thursday’s Today Show, Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb appeared in a skit with Philbin announcing his upcoming appearances on the show.

    “Reg, what are you doing here?” Gifford exclaimed when Regis Philbin was seen tending bar.

    “I’ve got a job here!” he replied.

    “We thought [he] would be the perfect person to join our motley crew: Regis Philbin is joining the fourth hour,” Hoda Kotb said.

    “I wish we could have him every day, but he’s very busy,” Kathie Lee Gifford added.

    What’s your take on Regis Philbin joining Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb as a fourth-hour contributor on Today?

    Regis Philbin is 83 years old.

  • Kelly Ripa Sports Bright Pink Locks

    Kelly Ripa Sports Bright Pink Locks

    Kelly Ripa is the latest celebrity to sport bright pink locks. The Live! With Kelly and Michael star had her tresses dyed recently–just before heading out on vacation.

    Ripa joins the ranks of stars including Kaley Cuoco, Nicole Richie, Julianne Hough, and Hilary Duff who are either wearing or recently wore pink hair.

    Kelly Ripa shared word of her new ‘do with her followers via Twitter on Tuesday night.

    She also shared a photo of her pink locks on Instagram.

    Check out Kelly Ripa with pink hair–and see if you think blondes really have more fun–or if pink-headed ladies might stand a chance of enjoying themselves almost as much.

    Kelly Ripa’s hair stylist shared a couple of shots, too.

    Kelly Ripa debuted her new ‘do on Wednesday on Live! With Kelly and Michael–leaving herself wide open for ribbing from co-host Michael Strahan.

    “Every time I go on vacation I dye my hair a different color,” she explained to the audience. “It usually washes out and this will wash out. It’s part of my tradition–I like to have fun for a few weeks. I literally sat there with pink hair dye, multiple shades of pink on my hair for hours. I get very bored. I’ve had the same color for six months at least, and that’s a long time for me.”

    Ripa also says she’s not done dyeing yet.

    “I think I might go red next. When we first put it on it looked really red and I was like, ‘I like it!’ I tried a red wig once and I was drunk with power,” she said.

    Kelly Ripa’s husband, Mark Consuelos, hasn’t yet seen the new pink ‘do in person, but Kelly sent him a picture.

    “He said, ‘Babe, keep going. I love it.’”

    Do you love Kelly Ripa’s new–albeit temporary–look?

  • Kelly Ripa: ‘Live! With Kelly and Michael’ Host Honored by GLAAD

    Kelly Ripa of Live! With Kelly and Michael fame received the Excellence in Media Award from GLAAD at the GLAAD Media Awards, held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City on Saturday. The awards honor those who further GLAAD’s mission of ensuring that stories of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people are heard–and heard fairly–through all of the media outlets.

    Anderson Cooper presented the Excellence in Media Award to his good friend, Kelly Ripa.

    It was through her work on Live! With Kelly and Michael that Kelly Ripa was recognized. Her interviews and discussions with and about LGBT guests and supporters is deemed worthy of much recognition by GLAAD.

    Two other notable journalists were honored at the GLAAD Media Awards as well. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver was honored as the best talk show episode for a segment on Ugandan transgender activist Pepe Julian Onziema.

    TV journalist and anchor Thomas Roberts received the Vito Russo Award, which is named for GLAAD’s co-founder. It is presented to an out LGBT media figure who has made a significant difference in promoting equality.

    There is no doubt that Kelly Ripa, John Oliver, and Thomas Roberts realize the important roles they have played in the media. Not only have they presented viewers with sound information, they have educated many who–without the help of the media–might have continued to harbor poor or misinformed thoughts.

    Kudos to Kelly Ripa and the rest of those honored at Saturday’s GLAAD Media Awards. May they continue to educate, entertain, and instill hope in the lives of many.

  • Hoda Kotb Beats Michael Strahan on ‘Lip Sync Battle’

    Hoda Kotb and Michael Strahan went head to head (or is that lip to lip?) next week on cable’s breakout TV hit show of the season, Lip Sync Battle.

    The Live! with Kelly and Michael star and former NFL player had fans cracking up as he got down to the sexual innuendoes performing Fergie’s ‘London Bridge.’

    Hoda Kotb–sans her sidekick Kathie Lee Gifford–entertained fans singing about big butts while lip syncing Sir Mix-A-Lot’s ‘Baby Got Back.’

    Which of these morning television hosts do you suppose did the better job?

    Check out Hoda Kotb lip syncing ‘Baby Got Back.’

    And now check out Michael Strahan. Does he have what it takes to beat Hoda Kotb?

    In addition to ‘Baby Got Back,’ Hoda Kotb also performed ‘Uptown Funk’ by Mark Ronson. Michael Strahan’s second number was ‘Poison’ by Bell Biv DeVoe.

    Lip Sync Battle airs on Thursdays nights on Spike TV at 10:00 pm ET. Are you surprised Hoda Kotb beat Michael Strahan? Did you expect the results would be the other way around?

  • Kelly Ripa to Receive GLAAD’s Excellence in Media Award, Anderson Cooper to Present It

    Kelly Ripa will receive the Excellence in Media Award at the upcoming GLAAD Media Awards in New York City. Her good friend Anderson Cooper will present the award to the Live! With Kelly and Michael star. Ripa learned this exciting news on Monday.

    “For over a decade, Kelly Ripa has greeted millions of viewers with messages of acceptance and inclusion,” GLAAD president Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement. “By sharing inclusive stories with her audience and loudly voicing support for her LGBT friends and fans, Kelly is helping to drive acceptance forward.”

    Kelly Ripa will be in good company when receiving this Excellence in Media Award. Past recipients include Diane Sawyer, Tyra Banks, Julianne Moore, Glenn Close, Barbara Walters, Judy Shepard, and Russell Simmons.

    The GLAAD Media Awards are scheduled for May 9th at New York’s Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Ross Mathews will host the event. Distinguished guests will include Laverne Cox, Transparent star Jeffrey Tambor, Jonathan Groff, and Homeland’s Rupert Friend.

    This isn’t the only honor Kelly Ripa celebrated on Monday. On Sunday she won Best Entertainment Talk Show Host with cohost Michael Strahan at the Daytime Emmys.

    Just days ago Kelly Ripa shared some emotional words in honor of the late Dr. Frederic Brandt. The renown cosmetic surgeon took his own life earlier this month.

    Hopefully her Emmy Award and Excellence in Media Award from GLAAD will help lighten the heavy heart she has felt since her dear friend’s passing.

  • Kelly Ripa Lauds Dr. Frederic Brandt at His Memorial

    Kelly Ripa sang the praises of her dear friend, Dr. Frederic Brandt, at his memorial service at Lincoln Center in New York City on Thursday. Surrounded by more than 3,000 white orchids, she took the stage to pay tribute to the late cosmetic surgeon, who took his life on April 5th in his Coconut Grove, Florida home. He was 65.

    The last of 11 speakers at the memorial, Kelly Ripa told the crowd how sad she was to be speaking of her friend in this manner.

    “This is the saddest thing that I never thought I would have to do,” she said. “When I look out into this room I see so many beautiful faces and I realized that Fred is all around us. He is with all of us now.”

    In addition to Kelly Ripa, Dr. Frederic Brandt treated celebrities including Madonna, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Stephanie Seymour, and Joy Behar. The View co-host spoke with People magazine about the late doctor.

    “He was so much fun,” she said. “We used to talk about Bette Davis all the time.”

    “He was just a great person, a great friend,” Kelly Ripa said on Live! With Kelly and Michael. “He will be missed. I cannot tell you how much I will miss him. I’ll miss him every day of my life.”

    Ripa shared a funny story about Frederic Brandt at the memorial, too.

    She talked about suffering a break-out when she was scheduled to shoot a TV commercial. She called the doctor, who came to her rescue but made sure she knew he was on a very tight schedule and a solution had to be found very quickly so he could get back to his office.

    “Then a group of male models disrobed and oiled up and suddenly Fred and I are ordering lunch,” she said. “We sat there with the door cracked open giggling like children. We laughed so much that day.”

    “That is what I will remember the most about him: his laughter, his unabashed joy, his sense of humor, his kindness, his selflessness,” she said. “He gave us everything he had and there will never be another Fred Brandt.”

    Kelly Ripa lost a dear friend with the untimely death of Dr. Brandt. Hopefully speaking such wonderful words about him at his memorial service will help her start to heal.

  • Malia Obama: Who Taught Her How to Drive?

    Malia Obama: Who Taught Her How to Drive?

    Malia Obama didn’t go to a nearby Washington, D.C. driving school when she became old enough to drive. Instead, people from the Secret Service taught President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama’s older daughter to drive.

    Michelle Obama shared that little tidbit of information when she taped an interview with Rachael Ray for The Rachael Ray Show. The episode aired on Thursday.

    “The Secret Service [taught her], actually, because they wouldn’t let me in the car with her,” Michelle Obama said.

    On Monday, the first lady visited with Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan on Live! With Kelly and Michael and shared that Malia recently asked her a question about parking in a public lot.

    “I barely know now too so I have to check with other sources,” she said.

    Surprisingly, Malia Obama goes out driving on her own.

    “She always has security around. But in order for her to learn how to drive, she had to drive on her own. So once she was legally permitted to drive on her own, she gets in her car,” Michelle Obama said.

    The president and first lady allow Malia Obama to go out driving as part of their effort to allow their daughters as much normalcy in their growing up years as possible. It must be frightening, however.

    “Driving for Malia, I think, gives her a sense of normalcy, like the rest of her friends are doing. And my kids have got to learn how to live in the world like normal kids,” the first lady said.

    Surely Malia Obama is never far from the eyes of the Secret Service. If they taught her how to drive, they’re probably following along fairly close behind while she heads out on her own.

    Do you think it’s nearly as frightening for Malia Obama to go out driving solo as it is for her parents to allow her to do so?

  • Kelly Ripa Grief Stricken Over Death of Dr. Fredric Brandt

    Kelly Ripa Grief Stricken Over Death of Dr. Fredric Brandt

    Kelly Ripa appeared grief stricken on Live! With Kelly and Michael on Tuesday.

    “He was such a great man… he was just a great person, a great friend, he will be missed–I cannot tell you how much I will miss him. I will miss him every day of my life,” she said while on the air.

    Cosmetic surgeon Dr Fredric Brandt was found dead by suicide inside his Miami mansion on Sunday. Kelly Ripa had long been among his celebrity clients–and dear friends.

    “If you love someone tell them every day that you love them because you don’t know if you will have that opportunity….It’s sad. Oh my gosh, he was just the best. He would sing to you while he put Botox in your face–any song you wanted. He could sing anything at a moment’s notice,” she said.

    On Monday, Kelly Ripa tweeted her heartache upon learning that Dr. Brandt had died over the weekend.

    Kelly’s husband, Mark Consuelos, retweeted sentiments about the plastic surgeon’s passing.

    In addition to Kelly Ripa, some of Dr. Frederic Brandt’s other celebrity clients included Madonna and Joy Behar. There were, of course, numerous others.

    A photo posted by Dr. Brandt (@drbrandt) on

    Suicide is probably the hardest type of death for survivors to accept. Dr. Brandt’s family members and his beloved clients–like Kelly Ripa–will no doubt always wonder what they might have said or done that could have prevented the doctor from taking his life.

  • Kelly Ripa: What the ‘Live! With Kelly and Michael’ Star Gave Hubby Mark Consuelos for His Birthday

    Kelly Ripa made news last week when word that she and Regis Philbin hadn’t spoken since he left their talk show in 2011 hit the media. This week she’s making news again, and she may go down in history for giving her husband Mark Consuelos the most thoughtful birthday gift ever.

    It’s no secret that Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are well off. Each could likely afford to give the other just about anything imaginable. That’s what makes Kelly’s gift even more thoughtful.

    Mark Consuelos turned 44 on Tuesday. That’s when Kelly Ripa told him she’d give him his gift when she got home later in the day. He assumed that meant they were heading off to a hotel.

    When she got home and led her husband outside, he figured she was giving him a car.

    “I’m like, ‘Oh no! He thinks it’s something amazing!’” Kelly Ripa said.

    At one point, as the two headed down Fifth Avenue, he feared she had arranged for a flash mob to laud him on his big day.

    “My worst nightmare!” he said

    “I’m like, ‘Stop saying elaborate things, because now my very sweet gift that’s very sweet and from the kids and from the heart is going to seem really small!’” Kelly said.

    Before long the couple reached Central Park–and a bench in the park, decorated with balloons.

    Kelly Ripa and their children had a plaque inscribed on a bench for Mark Consuelos.

    “Daddy Cool,” the plaque reads. That’s Kelly Ripa’s nickname for her husband.

    “You’re the most thoughtful, the best gift giver of all time,” he told his wife, as he sat in for Michael Strahan on Live! With Kelly and Michael.

    You’ve got to admit, that’s pretty thoughtful and creative, too.

    So with that kind of creativity and thoughtfulness, exactly how could Regis Philbin go all that time without talking to Kelly Ripa?

  • Kelly Ripa And Regis Philbin: Why Don’t They Talk?

    Kelly Ripa has been the long-time co-host of the incredibly popular Live! With Kelly and Michael for what seems like forever.

    As the bubbly blonde conversationalist, Kelly Ripa has carried the show with her antics and her easy manner since she appeared in 2001.

    The conversational chemistry between Kelly Ripa and her current co-host, Michael Strahan, is amazing and they make great TV together!

    However, before there was Michael, there was Regis.

    For over a decade, it was Live! with Regis and Kelly, pittting Kelly Ripa against Regis Philbin in delightful banter about celebrities, current events, and their individual lives, and they were great.

    It seemed like Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa, who he lovingly called “Pipa” sometimes, were fast friends, on screen and off.

    However, after an interview that Regis Philbin did recently with Hoda Kotb, it seems that friendship didn’t go very far, even after having worked together for so long.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD9NCLTSNhM

    Hoda Kotb was conducting a conversation about some of Philbin’s former co-workers when she asked Regis about Kelly Ripa, saying, “What about Kelly? How often do you see her or speak to her?”

    Surprisingly Regis replied, “I haven’t seen her, I don’t see her.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbKcR53MnFo

    In fact, he hasn’t seen her since they did their last show in 2011. He tried to explain why he doesn’t speak to Kelly Ripa with geography.

    He said, “She lived downtown, and now I hear she’s on the East Side and, uh, you know.”

    The best picture ever taken by the great #bryanadams

    That seems sad, but Philbin went on to explain that even when he is right there in Kelly Ripa’s studio, they just don’t cross paths.

    He said, “I was over there yesterday [at ABC] as a matter of fact, to do something for them. No, I didn’t see [her].”

    Nobody I'd rather spend hump day with than @instasuelos for obvious reasons.

    A photo posted by Kelly Ripa (@kellyripa) on

    But, it seems to be a totally different story with Philbin’s co-host before Kelly Ripa, Kathy Lee Gifford.

    Of her, he said, “She lives in Greenwich and I’m a weekend guy there, so I do see a lot of her.”

    Why do you think Kelly Ripa and Regis Philbin haven’t spoken since 2011?

  • Kelly Ripa and Regis Philbin: Why They Lost Touch

    Kelly Ripa and Regis Philbin: Why They Lost Touch

    Kelly Ripa and Regis Philbin hosted Live! With Regis and Kelly together for 10 years. Once Regis announced he was retiring back in 2011, everyone likely expected they’d stay in touch. Oh, they probably wouldn’t have coffee every week–or probably every month for that matter. But after Kelly Ripa and Regis Philbin worked side by side for 10 years, you’d certainly expect that at the very least they’d meet up for dinner once a year.

    How about none of the above? It came as quite a surprise to many people earlier this week when Regis Philbin was interviewed by Hoda Kotb on the Today Show’s radio show on SiriusXM, to learn that he and Kelly Ripa haven’t had any contact whatsoever since he left the show.

    “I haven’t seen her, I don’t see her,” Regis answered when Hoda Kotb asked him how often he sees or speaks to Kelly Ripa. “She lived downtown, and now I hear she’s on the East Side and, uh, you know.”

    When Hoda asked him if that seemed strange at all, he said no. He admitted that he and Kelly Ripa had a great run on the show together, however. Kelly Ripa now hosts the show alongside Michael Strahan on Live! With Kelly and Michael.

    Back in 2013, Kelly Ripa said she and Regis had lost touch.

    “I haven’t seen him, no,” she said.

    Does this strike you as really strange? If you sat beside someone for 10 years–and you liked that person–wouldn’t you at the very least pick up the phone once in a while to say hello? Do you think there’s something here that doesn’t meet the eye?

    Someone Regis Philbin has stayed in contact with is Kathie Lee Gifford. Kelly Ripa took over for Kathie Lee when she left the show back in 2001.

    “She lives in Greenwich and I’m a weekend guy there, so I do see a lot of her,” Regis told Hoda of Kathie Lee Gifford–now her sidekick on the Today Show.

    If you’re having a hard time swallowing the fact that Kelly Ripa and Regis Philbin haven’t been in touch in 10 years–you’re not the only one. It just goes to show you that show business can be just that–and that it doesn’t mean that two people who talk, smile, and laugh together for a decade will necessarily do so when the cameras stop running.

  • The Rock: Dwayne Johnson Sings Christmas Song in Onesie

    The Rock, aka Dwayne Johnson, sang a hilarious rendition of ‘Here Comes Santa Claus’ while a guest on Live! With Kelly and Michael on Wednesday. Even better, he sang the song while wearing a onesie.

    Johnson competed with Kelly Ripa’s co-host Michael Strahan in a Christmas karaoke singing duel. The Rock even screamed out, ‘I’m in a onesie!’ halfway through his song.

    He later posted to Instagram, sharing the fun he had with Kelly and Michael with all his fans.

    The Rock captioned his post, “Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus right down Santa Claus lane…” #KaraokeKING #LIVEWithKellyAndMichael #ChristmasEveShow #RealGsWearOnesies.”

    Entertainment Weekly writes that they think Dwayne Johnson actually sounded pretty good while belting out ‘Here Comes Santa Claus.’ Might he add recording artist to his repertoire of talents one day soon?

    Check his performance out for yourself and see if you think there’s a hit album in his future.

    If you don’t think The Rock shows off his amazing sense of humor while singing karaoke, then check out the Christmas card he sent his friends.

    Maybe stand-up comic is a more viable option than recording artist?

  • Kelly Ripa: How She Keeps Her Marriage Spicy

    Kelly Ripa of Live! With Kelly and Michael fame has been married to Mark Consuelos since 1996. For some couples that might be things are getting a little stale. Not so for Ripa and Consuelos, however, and she shared a bit about it during a conversation with Andy Cohen recently.

    “There’s no secret! We just like each other a lot,” Ripa, 44, explained. “I really–I love my husband. I think he’s awesome. We’ve been together a long time and we try to do spicy things together all the time,” she said.

    Ripa’s answer wasn’t as juicy as Cohen had hoped, which prompted him to lead in with a follow-up remark.

    “I heard you say recently that you must have sex as much as possible to keep your relationship going,” he said.

    “I believe I said that to you in a private conversation,” she replied. “I fundamentally believe that the more you do it the more you do it and the less you do it the less you do it.”

    It seems like Kelly Ripa knows how to make her marriage sizzle while cooling Andy Cohen down in a matter of seconds.

    Kelly and Mark have been married since 1996, and are the parents of three children. Michael is 17, Joaquin is 11, and daughter Lola is 13.

    With three kids and her talk show she co-hosts with Michael Strahan, Kelly Ripa is one busy woman. If she can keep sizzle in her marriage with all that going on, she needs to write a book and share her tips with other busy moms.

    Don’t you love how Kelly shared just enough with Andy Cohen to keep things interesting, without divulging personal details about her marriage and sex life? She has always been one very classy lady.

  • Kelly Ripa Takes Away Daughter’s Phone, Computer

    Kelly Ripa is a lot more like the average mom than fans may think. Sure, she appears on TV weekday mornings alongside Michael Strahan on Live! With Kelly and Michael. And she advertises Colgate toothpaste products on network TV as well. But the former soap opera star is still a mom–to three children–and she sets some hard and fast rules that they have to follow.

    This past week found Kelly as a guest on another talk show–The Wendy Williams Show–where she opened up about parenting her teenage daughter, Lola.

    “She recently lost her computer and phone privileges, so it’s like taking away oxygen,” Kelly Ripa explained. Hubby Mark Consuelos had touched on the story with Williams prior to Kelly joining the stage, but he didn’t divulge quite as much information.

    Ripa was careful not to say too much that might hurt her daughter, however. When asked what Lola had done to deserve such a punishment, Kelly chose her words rather carefully–saying she didn’t do anything crazy. Instead she shared that Lola just “broke the rules.”

    “We are like very fair parents and we will give you certain freedoms,” Kelly Ripa continued. “When you want privacy in a not-private world—like, you can’t have privacy and be on Instagram. I’m sorry, that’s not how it works. Privacy is for if you want to write a letter or write in your journal, I’m not going to read that. But if you want to tweet about what a pain in the butt your mom is, I’m gonna see that.”

    Oh, dear. Did Lola do that?

    Not sure about that one. But Kelly did catch her playing with her phone when she was supposed to be studying instead.

    “I walked into her room and she wasn’t there,” Ripa recalled,” but there was her phone and it’s not supposed to be there during study hours. So I was like,” she mimed leaning over innocently, ‘”let me just dial in her code’…She knows I know her code, but she doesn’t think I would ever abuse that privilege.”

    Lola was apparently showering when Mom found the found. That can make for a very upset 13-year-old girl–especially when Mom finds her Instagram posts.

    “No, I don’t think she likes me, but I don’t care,” Kelly said. “I’m like, ‘I’m not your friend, I’m your mom. I’m not your friend.’”

    Wendy Williams asked Kelly Ripa if she ever felt pressured to appear nice all the time–like she is on her show.

    “I just feel an obligation as her mom to keep her living in the real world. I don’t care who you are or what you do, if your’e a mom you’re a mom. Everybody’s a mom. Beyoncé’s a mom, you’re a mom, I’m a mom—do you like the way I lumped myself into that group?”

    Kelly Ripa seems to be a very grounded mom. And her daughter Lola is presently a bit ‘grounded’ herself–at least from using her phone and her computer. Ripa and Mark Consuelos are good, hands-on parents who–even though they live in the limelight–have long managed to put their children and their marriage first. They set a fine example for celebrity parents everywhere.

  • Sofia Vergara Doesn’t Need A TV To Watch

    Sofia Vergara has been dating Joe Manganiello for a while and they just get more and more beautiful.

    According to Kelly Ripa, they are physically the perfect couple.

    “You two are the perfect couple,” Kelly Ripa said on Live! With Kelly and Michael earlier this week.

    “I’m thinking of the pair of you. If I were you, I would put mirrors everywhere — the ceilings, the walls. I’d be like, ‘Let’s just look at ourselves right now.’”

    Vergara retorted,”Yeah, that’s all we do. We don’t watch TV. We just watch ourselves.”

    When Michael asked Sofia Vergara about Joe Manganiello, she said,

    “He’s very hot,” then the audience erupted in laughter. “He’s a great guy. He’s very funny, and he’s very entertaining, which is very important for me, because I need to be with somebody who knows how to have fun, because I like to have fun.”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GacuMPzrSOU

    It seems the feeling is mutual between the gorgeous couple. Long before they were an item, Manganiello was caught surveying her backside in a photo from the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

    On the Meredith Vieira Show on Thursday, Sofia Vergara spoke about confronting him with the picture.

    “Somebody sent me the picture and I confronted him about it and he was like, ‘Yeah, I can’t excuse myself. I was there.’”

    Vergara later added, “I didn’t know he was behind me. It was funny. It broke the ice. After that we started talking like, you know.”

    Yes, we know.

    That was in May. By July, Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello were one of the most beautiful couples on the planet.

    What do you think? Since Jofia is now an official thing do you think it will last between Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello?

  • Michael Strahan, Nicole Murphy Split An Amicable One

    Michael Strahan and Nicole Murphy have split, and anyone who knows anything about the former couple seems to realize it was a predictable break up. The engaged couple have had two years worth of ups and downs, with a long distance relationship being at the center of the problems.

    “They have been on and off for two years. There have been a lot of ups and downs and back and forth. Sometimes they were together, sometimes they were not,” a source explains. “They were both aware all along of their relationship status. No one did anything wrong. They were both aware of their situation and it was a complicated relationship. There are no big surprises between them.”

    Once Michael Strahan became Kelly Ripa’s sidekick on Live With Kelly and Michael, things predictably became more difficult.

    “They have been trying to figure things out since he got the show and it became a long-distance relationship,” the source adds.

    So far, however, it doesn’t seem as though too much finger pointing has taken place, even though rumor has it that Strahan was blindsided by Murphy telling him she was calling it quits via an unannounced visit to a hotel room. She accused him of cheating and even believed there was a woman in the hotel room with him.

    Nicole Murphy is said to be relaxing in the Bahamas now, however, while Michael Strahan is currently basking in the glory of having been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Neither appears all that upset.

    Nicole Murphy was married to actor and comedian Eddie Murphy and Michael Strahan was married to Jean Muggli. Between the two of them, they have nine children. That in itself would be enough for most people to call off an engagement.

    Alas that likely had no bearing on the status of their relationship. It seems like life and career choices simply got in their way.

    Are you surprised to learn that Michael Strahan and Nicole Murphy have called it quits? It’s refreshing to see a prominent couple who can keep things civil in light of what has to be a most difficult decision.

    Do you think it will stay that way–or is this just the beginning of something that will cover the tabloids for the next few weeks or months?

  • Kelly Ripa: Michael Strahan’s Homewrecker?

    Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan have great chemistry on the air during their morning show, Live with Kelly & Michael. That is what makes the show so fun to watch.

    However, that chemistry with Kelly Ripa is rumored to be causing some strife in Michael Strahan’s relationship.

    News broke on Friday that Michael was no longer engaged to his long-time girlfriend, Nicole Murphy.

    Michael Strahan’s rep said in a statement, “They love each other very much, but with the distance and work schedule it has been hard to maintain the relationship.”

    Reportedly, Michael works with Kelly Ripa on Live with Kelly and Michael in New York, while Nicole Murphy travels back and forth to film her TV show, Hollywood Exes. Nicole Murphy is the ex-wife of comedian Eddie Murphy.

    The couple had been engaged for five years before breaking up. This news led to widespread speculation that the chemistry between Michael and Kelly Ripa may be more than just on air.

    Back in April, Nicole made remarks to talk show host Wendy Williams that indicated the couple was having trouble finding time to plan a wedding. She said, “We might just have to run off and elope. We’ve been busy though, this has been crazy.”

    She added, “The man’s got 20 jobs right now. He’s just busy.”

    One of those jobs was filming his show with Kelly Ripa.

    During the same time period that she made those remarks, Nicole was combating rumors of unfaithfulness. She was rumored to be seen getting very close to French dancer Larry Bourgeois at a Hollywood party. She is also an admitted serial cheater. So is Kelly Ripa to blame? Or perhaps, more likely, Nicole Murphy?

    Kelly Ripa has a famously good marriage to Mark Consuelos and the couple has three children together. They seem very happy and Kelly Ripa constantly gushes about her husband and family.

    I would have a hard time believing that chemistry between Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan is what ended his five-year engagement. Sounds like someone was maybe just (rightly) hesitant to marry a serial cheater?

  • Kelly Ripa Talks Paul Walker With Vin Diesel

    Kelly Ripa and Vin Diesel have a history together. Who knew? The perky host of Live with Kelly & Michael helped the Fast & Furious actor out in his bouncing days.

    Apparently, bouncer Vin Diesel convinced some club owners to let him throw a party. Who did Vin call to liven up the shindig? Kelly Ripa, that’s who.

    “I’m so fun at a party,” Kelly Ripa said. Obviously. If anyone seems like they’d be fun at a party, it’s Kelly Ripa, right? Vin Diesel confirmed that suspicion.

    “She tore the party up,” Diesel said.

    That’s not the only thing Kelly Ripa has been tearing up lately. She has also been tearing up her workout studio while working on her fitness. The late-to-the-instagram-party talk show host posted this photo with her trainer.

    But, I digress.

    It wasn’t all fun and games on Friday’s episode of Live with Kelly & Michael, however. Kelly Ripa did delve into the death of Vin Diesel’s co-star, Paul Walker. Reportedly, Paul Walker‘s brothers stepped in to finish filming on the latest movie, which almost got scrapped after Paul Walker’s death.

    “They don’t teach you in acting how to mourn someone and simultaneously pretend they are in a scene with you,” he told Kelly Ripa of finishing the latest Fast & Furious film without Walker. “It’s one of the darker moments in my journey … It was so sudden, so unexpected.”

    Kelly Ripa also got a chance to see Vin Diesel with hair during his early days as a street performer.

    “Let me just tell you, you look so much better without hair,” Kelly Ripa said.

    He does indeed look great without hair. I agree, Kelly Ripa!

  • Kelly Ripa: Might She Be A Hoarder?

    Kelly Ripa might have a bit of ‘hoarder blood’ in her genes. She and husband Mark Consuelos, along with their three children–Michael, 17, Lola, 13, and Joaguin, 11–are moving, and the Live With Kelly and Michael host is having a tough time letting some things go.

    The family is presently moving out of their apartment in New York City, and Kelly Ripa says the ordeal is a “bit of a nightmare.” Of course no one likes to move, but when there are kids and moms involved, all sorts of things–and the issues surrounding them–come out of the proverbial woodwork when the packing ensues.

    “Mark likes to throw everything away, and I want to save everything for when the kids are older one day,” Kelly said during a recent interview with Vanity Fair magazine. “So, you know, they have their things, like their first report card, so it’s a constant struggle as to what we should toss versus what we should save.”

    “For some reason, I have a crib and a stroller and a Pack ’n Play, and a little kitchen,” she added, as she reminisced about some items she clearly had hung on to for years.

    It certainly doesn’t sound like Kelly Ripa is a hoarder. Hoarders let things pile up to dangerous levels–often living in filth and very unhealthy conditions. And after all, Kelly says she still has a reason for holding on to these things.

    “Right now, basically, David Burtka and Neil Patrick Harris’ kids come over and play with everything,” she said. “Like, that’s what it’s there for, just to get them to bring the kids over.”

    And face it–everyone loves having little children around.

    Moving stinks. Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are finding that out first hand. And while it often does mean letting go of some things, it also opens doors to new experiences. And from those new experiences come new things to stash–not hoard–in a brand new, uncluttered (at least for now) space.

  • Kelly Ripa Goes On Vacation To Greece With The Seinfelds

    Kelly Ripa is fresh from her European vacation with the Seinfelds. Ripa will be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and she celebrated by going on a family vacation with husband Mark Consuelos and their kids Michael, Lola, and Joaquin. Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld brought their children Sascha, Julian, and Shepherd along with them.

    “I gotta tell you, it was magical. It was one of those trips where it all came together so beautifully. We started out in Paris for a couple of days – just a quick, quick trip to Paris – and then we spent the bulk of our trip, 10 days, in Greece, going from island to island,” Ripa said.

    Jessica Seinfeld, who is Ripa’s close friend, congratulated her on Instagram by saying that she is the greatest friend in the world and she does a fantastic job on her morning show Live with Kelly and Michael. “Congratulations my love,” she said.

    Ripa shared her pictures from her European trip including pictures on the Eiffel Tower, Poseidon’s Temple, Santorini, and Athens.

    “It was like having no kids because they all amused each other and nobody drove us insane, so it was like a vacation.”

    The trip was also a milestone for Jerry Seinfeld, as he took his first ever selfie. His wife shared the picture on Instagram with the caption, “Jerry’s First Selfie. Ugh. Stop. #greeceistheword.”

    Ripa enjoyed the trip so much that she encouraged viewers to take a Grecian vacation there as well. “If you’re taking a trip someplace overseas and you’re thinking, ‘Where should we go? What should we do?’ I highly encourage you to visit Greece because the people are the kindest and the loveliest, and it’s so beautiful,” she said.

    Ripa will be receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2015.
