Here are some photos of Kelly Ripa at a recent mega-garage sale (Super Saturday 15) benefitting the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund on 7/28. I really do like Kelly and always have, but I have to admit that she pushes things a bit too far in her quest for perfection. Kelly not only has talked up her role as the “perfect wife” to husband Mark Consuelos because she does such things as serve him breakfast in bed (although I’m still convinced that perhaps they’ve negotiated a “trade” of sorts for such services), but she’s also clearly gone a bit overboard in her quest for fitness perfection. She could use another five pounds or so on that tiny frame is all I’m saying, but Kelly is still so, so cute. Now she’s admitted that she’s a Botox addict too. Is it more surprising that she uses the wrinkle-abating treatment or that she actually admits to doing so?
At 41, Kelly Ripa looks better than most women half her age. And in a new interview she candidly admits that Botox is her secret. Unlike many stars, who claim genetics and a healthy diet is all they need, the television presenter reveals that she will use it “as much as possible.”
She told In Touch magazine: “I work out every day. I don’t overeat. I try to drink water, but I prefer wine, and when all else fails, I get Botox injected right here, right into my forehead as much as possible!”
The “Live with Kelly” host adds that she uses her children, Michael, 15, Lola, 11 and Joaquin, nine, as an indicator for when she needs a top-up from her dermatologist, celebrity favourite Dr Frederic Brandt.
She told the magazine: “It’s when my kids start asking me if I’m mad at them, and I say, ‘Why do you think I’m mad at you?’ They say it’s because I’m frowning. I go, ‘Oh no! I am? I’ll be right back!’”
Despite Ms Ripa’s enthusiasm for the line-erasing injections, Dr Brandt himself says that he is careful not to overdo it. He told In Touch that his goal is to “keep Kelly looking like Kelly.”
It is perhaps for this reason that Ms Ripa loves the doctor so much, going as far as joking that he is her “real husband.”
There is no word on what Ms Ripa’s actual husband, Mark Consuelos, thinks of that statement, but given that the couple have been married since 1996, it is pretty clear that Dr Brandt poses no real threat.

Honestly? I had no idea Kelly was a Botox girl. Someone really needs to tell Nicole Kidman about Dr. Brandt! It sounds like the injections really are only going into Kelly’s forehead, and it’s not overdone either by any stretch because there are no “shiny” or “bulgy” aftereffects to be seen. Also, Kelly can still move the rest of her face as these pictures clearly attest. Good job, Dr. Brandt.

| | Kelly Ripa's '25 Things You Don't Know?: is she perfect or trying too hard' | | Added 12 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Last week, we discussed Kelly Ripa’s Good Housekeeping interview, in which she discussed serving breakfast in bed to husband Mark Consuelos. In response, a lot of you thought that Kelly was perhaps trying too hard to be the “perfect wife” and also legitimately wondered what Mark was possibly doing to keep Kelly happy as well? Perhaps she’s just a classic “people pleaser” and has no problem with picking up the proverbial slack in her marriage, or maybe Mark does things for Kelly that she didn’t feel the need to disclose to the masses. One never knows.
At any rate, Kelly has compiled a “25 Things You Don’t Know About Me” list for Us Weekly, and the list isn’t terribly dramatic; that is, I am not hearing anything that I wouldn’t already suspect about Ripa:
1. I have grey hair.
2. I have insomnia.
3. Wearing makeup makes my face itch.
4. I can read music.
5. Snowshoeing is my favorite sport.
6. Biking is a hobby of mine.
7. Anderson Cooper is my favorite TV personality.
8. Deejaying is my secret passion.
9. I can fly-fish.
10. My 14-year-old son, Michael, is my running partner.
11. I love to do laundry and can get a stain out of almost anything.
12. Going to the ballet is just about my favorite thing.
13. I have three tattoos.
14. I can recite all the lines form the movies Jaws, Mommie Dearest, and The Silence of the Lambs. Not sure why.
15. I’m long-waisted and usually taller than anyone when we’re seated.
16. I’m afraid of heights.
17. I host a nationally syndicated talkshow, but I’m terrified of speaking in front of groups of people.
18. I used to do stand-up comedy.
19. I can juggle.
20. I consider Pepperidge Farm Goldfish to be a food group.
21. For such a small person, I have extremely wide feet.
22. Boxing is my favorite spectator sport.
23. My favorite shows right now are Downton Abbey … and Dance Moms.
24. The higher the heel, the happier I am. I have a pair of 5-inch pumps that I consider my “flats.”
25. My perfect last meal would be pizza and guacamole.

Okay, I can completely sympathize with Kelly’s long-waisted plight. At least she doesn’t have huge knockers too — then she’d never find a decent shirt fit! Also, the phobia of heights and admission of wide feet is common ground, but she’s not admitting anything more than seemingly a random scattershot checklist with these “25 Things.” So I’m wondering if she’s merely trying to achieve widespread relatability with this list? Perhaps I’m scrutinizing things far too much for a throwaway list, but I want to hear that Kelly Ripa has problems with getting her kids to bed and battling cellulite. I want to learn something — anything — that tells me that she’s not trying too hard to be perfect because, let’s face it, she seems far too good to be true.
Here’s Kelly with the aforementioned “running partner,” her eldest son Michael. She looks way too skinny in this photograph.
By the way, have I mentioned how much Regis Philbin will be missed? I bet he misses the show too.

I’ve sort of been indifferent to Kelly Ripa over the past handful of years, although I do remember the abrupt change in mood (from heavy sarcasm to infinite bubbliness) when Kelly took over “Live!” hosting duties from Kathie Lee Gifford eleven years ago. Ugh, that makes me feel rather old. Anyway, Kelly is now the sole permanent host of “Live!” since Regis Philbin blindsided her with a retirement announcement, which may or not have been motivated by money and respect. Interestingly enough, Howie Mandel (after co-hosting last week) is being floated as a possible replacement for Regis, but Howie himself insists that “[I]t’s [only] a rumor” and that Regis is “irreplaceable.” God, I love Howie. While I didn’t see him co-host last week, I recall him being quite endearing when he co-hosted with Kathie Lee. Again, I’m aging myself here.
Anyway, Kelly covers the March issue of Good Housekeeping to talk about balancing “Live!” with family life, which includes raising three children (aged 9-14) and maintaining her marriage to former soap (co-)star and current reality show host Mark Consuelos. Basically, Kelly gushes all about Mark and seems a little bit smug about her marriage, which always throws up roadblocks from a believablity perspective. Back in 2007, there was talk of trouble in the marriage, but Kelly and Mark seem to have weathered the storm. Maybe this one’s for real?
On Mark Consuelos: “He’s kind of awesome. I think he makes me better. He makes everything in our lives better.”
Her Marriage Isn’t Perfect: “We argue about children, discipline, homework, good-cop/bad-cop. He says he’s the bad cop and I’m the good cop, but really they associate him with fun and after-school activities. They associate me with inoculations, X-rays, and stitches. He’s more apt to dole out discipline, but my punishments are real. I’ll take away my son’s iPod if he’s fresh. When we’re traveling, Mark will say, ‘If you don’t stop, I’m going to have the pilot turn this plane around.’ I’ll whisper to him, ‘They know you can’t do that. The airline isn’t going to turn this plane around because you’re punishing the kids. You need to come up with something real.’”
On Being A Wife: “I make his coffee every day. I cook him breakfast in bed every weekend: scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, wheat toast, and coffee with cream. That’s what he wants. And I serve it to him on a tray. I don’t give him a hard time about seeing his friends. Or for doing things independently, like taking a weekend biking trip with his racing friends. He doesn’t need to take me everywhere or do everything with me. I’m very much about us having our own separate time. And I don’t give him a hard time about not doing things around the house, like taking out the trash.”
On Exercise: “I work out every day. It’s part of my life. That’s one of the benefits of having kids in school full-time. I’m usually done with work around 11 A.M., so I have time before I pick the kids up from school. I do it more for my insides than my outside, but the outside gets a nice benefit, too. I feel like my mind is a little quieter when I exercise. And I don’t have the best family history heart-wise, so I really try to keep my heart strong. I work out with a trainer three days a week. We do what I would call cardio ballet and power yoga. I take spinning classes, which I love, and I run.”
On Couple Time “After the kids go to bed, we have a couple of hours when it’s just us. We either talk about the day or watch one of our favorite TV shows. Otherwise, there’d be no time. We used to go away, just the two of us, for three days to celebrate our anniversary every year. I can’t remember the last time we did that. It just became too much to climb out from under the amount of homework that would pile up! Maybe when the kids are a little bit older, we’ll start again. We started having kids young, so when they leave the house, we’ll still be young enough to enjoy it. Of course, thinking about that makes me panic. I can’t even let myself go there.”
On Having It All: “I’m like a regular full-time mom; I just happen to work for a couple of hours while the kids are at school. I take them to all their activities. Mark is usually the later one home from work, around 6:00 P.M. We definitely share in the household chores. I do have a cleaning lady who comes and helps me, because I can’t be married to somebody who’s as OCD-neat-freakish and germaphobic as Mark Conseulos and do it myself. I need a person in there with a hazmat suit to spray bleach all over the place.”

Okay, so Kelly is slightly out of touch with reality because I think most of us would love the chance to make millions of dollars for a few hours of morning work on weekdays. She also has a cleaning lady, which frees her up quite a bit from the domestic drudgery that most “regular full-time mom” types have no choice but with to deal. Then again, most celebrities don’t clean their own toilets, so I can’t rip on Kelly for that. It’s nice that she enjoys serving Mark breakfast in bed, but if I were her, I’d totally make Mark take the trash out to the curb. It’s the least a guy can do.

She?s usually the one doing the interviewing, but the tables turned for Kelly Ripa as she showed up to the Ed Sullivan Theater for a taping of ?The Late Show With David Letterman? last night (May 19).
The former ?Days of Our Lives? babe looked springtime sexy in a dress and heels as she posed for pictures outside the theater and said hello to her adoring fans.
During her sit-down with Dave, the two discussed possible replacements for Regis Philbin since he will soon be leaving their morning show, ?Live! With Regis and Kelly.?
Possible replacements that Kelly said she would love to co-host with include Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen and Ryan Seacrest.

I haven’t got a clue as to how old Kelly Ripa Is, she’s got like half a dozen kids already so she’s got to be getting up there, but I’ve got to say that the woman is looking good. Here she is on the streets of New York posing like she’s a supermodel. I like

I know that the title ‘Kelly Ripa Gets Waxed’ is so stupid, what can I say I’m immature, but with all these egomaniac celebrities so excited about having a wax replica of themselves made it’s just too easy. Here’s Kelly and her waxy twin getting up close and personal at the Madam Tussauds Museum in

Showing up for a very special event, Kelly Ripa made her way over to the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York City on Tuesday afternoon (April 5).
Joined by husband Mark Consuelos, the ?Live! With Regis and Kelly? host unveiled her spot-on wax figure which was created along with a version of soon to be retiring talk show host, Regis Philbin.
Aside from her wax unveiling event, Miss Ripa and her man are currently producing a sports documentary about a female basketball player.
No stranger to playing producer, her last sports documentary was nominated for an Emmy, but did not win.
Ripa jokingly explained, "Of course we didn't win, because we don't win Emmys. That's not something we do. But anyway ... I mean, anybody can win, but not everybody can lose in every category."

Heading in for a doctor?s appointment, Kelly Ripa was spotted arriving at a medical center in New York City yesterday (December 6).
The ?Live with Regis & Kelly? babe looked to be injured, as she walked with the help of a pair of crutches.
According to Ms. Ripa, she suffered a fracture in the femoral neck of her right hip, though she?s not too broken up about it.
Kelly announced on her show, ?I don?t need any surgery, I don?t need anything special done. I just have to sit down.?

We normally don?t cover the new issue releases of Good Housekeeping, but they sent us the high-resolution cover image of Kelly Ripa?s November cover, plus the interview, so why not? I think she?s the cover girl because she just turned 40 years old, and they want to make her the next poster girl for The Girl Next Door Who Is Fabulous At 40! Now, I don?t categorically hate Kelly. Do I think she might have some issues? Sure. She?s pretty annoying, she?s not the best interviewer, and I always end up feeling for her husband because he has to put up with her. But, on the bright side, she?s really not that bad, she?s very flirty and fun, and she?s got that kind of relentless optimism that I could never achieve, but I admire in others. The full interview is here - it?s written as a day-in-the-life piece, and they go through Kelly?s daily craziness in detail, with additional comments by her and the people around her. Here are some excerpts:
In the November issue of Good Housekeeping (on sale Oct 12), Kelly Ripa, America?s most energetic mom, shares how she recharges her batteries, the get happy secret her husband taught her and what she?s most grateful for this holiday season. She may have become famous by sharing her morning cup of coffee with millions of Americans, but she doesn?t think her daily routine is all that unique. ?I?m like any working mom,? the TV star insists. ?When I?m at work, I?m remembering what I forgot to do for the kids, and when I?m with the kids, I?m remembering what I forgot to do at work. And so, I?m constantly in a state of guilt and distraction.?
Date Night with Husband Mark Consuelos ? ?a little bump and tickle?
?We carve out time for ourselves. I think we?re better parents because date night gives us something to look forward to, a night where we?re not saying, ?Put that down, stop touching her, don?t spill that.? Sometimes we?ll put the kids to bed early and watch Jersey Shore on DVR. It can be that simple, just the two of us, alone, one day a week, for dinner and hijinks?a little bump and tickle. Woo-hoo! I?m 40. I can say that now.?
Sees Her Husband in an Avatar ?I see you? Way
?I think about my husband in the middle of the day because I love him and I can?t wait to see him. He is my best friend. Nobody knows me the way he knows me. We?ve seen each other in an Avatar, ?I see you? way.?
Vegas Wedding Okay for Ripa, but Not Her Daughter
?People assume that when you get married in Vegas, you go in willy-nilly. We wanted to get married and start our lives together, and we didn?t take it any less seriously than anybody who has a huge wedding. It?s the marriage that?s important, not the wedding. But, I will kill my daughter if she runs off and elopes, because I want to have a big party.?
Exercising Too Much?
?It?s my antidote for everything. If I feel any sort of emotional upheaval, I go for a jog and I feel better.?
Thanksgiving Tradition ? Can?t Replace the Doughboy
?I?m a very health-conscious person; I try to really do what?s right for my kids, but I don?t think you can replace the Pillsbury Doughboy.?
[From Good Housekeeping]
The ?bump and tickle? comment annoys me, but I like what she said about eloping and how it might have been good enough for her, but it won?t be good enough for her daughter. I also like what she says about the holidays and eating, and it?s clear that she?s not one of those mothers (cough, Gwyneth) who pushes her own food issues onto her children. In another part of the interview, Kelly explains how no matter what, every night she and Mark and the kids have dinner together: ?Sometimes it’s 6:30, sometimes 7:30, sometimes it’s going to be pizza or takeout. It’s important to have that time together as a family. We have some very deep conversations. Mark and I are from the generation where children were seen and not heard, but my kids have great insights and their own opinions about everything.” Nice. But I worry about her exercise habits - she’s gotten so, so skinny.

Heading to the gym after her morning TV hosting duties, Kelly Ripa was spotted outside of her local fitness center on Monday (October 4).
The ?Live With Regis and Kelly? host ran through her exercise routine before hitting the exit and slipping on a pair of shades over her makeup-less face.
As for keeping in shape, Miss Ripa recently opened up to guest co-host and fellow fitness fanatic Bryant Gumbel about her fitness routine - explaining why she enjoys going to spin class.
"There's power in a group. I think everybody really pulls together, and there's something sexy about the sound and look of a unified group of people working out," Kelly said.
