Kelly Ripa: Emeril Lagasse Made Me a Better Cook

Originally posted 09/25/2008 09:00AM

Between co-hosting Live with Regis and Kelly and being a mom to three kids, Kelly Ripa doesn't have a lot of extra time. But in between all her activities she still manages to cook and stay fit.

The actress and TV personality shows off her toned physique on the cover in November's Shape magazine – and shares a few of her domestic diva tips.

"I'd say 99 percent of my cooking, I've either learned from the guest chefs on the show or from watching the Food Network while I'm on the treadmill," the multi-tasking mom says.

Kelly Ripa: Christina Applegate Inspired Me

Originally posted 09/04/2008 09:45AM

When it comes to fighting cancer, all women – including celebrities – have got to stick together. That was the message from Kelly Ripa Wednesday, as she hosted an event to kick off Ovarian Cancer Month.

"A friend was diagnosed [with the disease] and I wanted to learn more about early detection," she told PEOPLE at the Electrolux-sponsored fund-raiser. "It's my mission to get the word out."

Ripa also took the opportunity to praise Christina Applegate, who has been public about her battle with breast cancer and recent double mastectomy.

"It takes a lot of courage to come forward and help other women and to get ahead of [the disease] like that," Ripa said of the Samantha Who? star. "It really made me call my doctor to get tested."

Kelly Ripa Says Clay Aiken Will 'Be a Great Father'

Originally posted 07/03/2008 02:30PM

Kelly Ripa thinks Clay Aiken has what it takes to be a good dad.

"It's great," Ripa told PEOPLE exclusively when asked about Aiken's impending fatherhood at a party Wednesday in New York City to celebrate her appearance on the July cover of Hamptons magazine. "I think he'll be a great father."

These days, Ripa is staying busy with her own three kids: Michael, 11, Lola, 7, and Joaquin, 5.

"They just started day camp and they love it," says Ripa, who attended the party with husband, Mark Consuelos. "Now little Joaquin goes with them. I was very concerned about him going, but he's having the time of his life. When I grew up we didn't have summer camp – only the bad kids got sent away. I didn't know that good kids could go to camp."

Kelly Ripa: No, It Wasn't Morning Sickness

Originally posted 11/28/2007 11:30AM


After falling ill during Tuesday's show, Kelly Ripa returned to Live with Regis & Kelly on Wednesday, only to have Regis Philbin suggest she'd had a bout of morning sickness and a heckler compare her to Marie Osmond.

"I've got my own theories, and let me tell you: She's pregnant again!" Philbin joked at the beginning of the program, adding, "I've been through it twice now!"

Ripa, 37, was quick to squash that rumor. "No, no," she said. "That would be nice, though. Wouldn't that be nice?"

Kelly Ripa Falls Ill During Live Broadcast

Originally posted 11/27/2007 01:40PM


Kelly Ripa left the set of Live with Regis & Kelly halfway through Tuesday morning's telecast, and Regis Philbin explained later in the show that she had not been feeling well.

The program was being broadcast outdoors from the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. Early on, Ripa seemed uncharacteristically low-energy and sipped frequently from a drink on the cohosts' table. She made it through the opening segment and an interview with Project Runway judge Tim Gunn, but did not return after the halfway mark of the show.

Kelly Ripa Wears Her Jeans Like a Push-Up Bra

Originally posted 11/14/2007 01:20PM

Kelly Ripa has a simple formula for making her butt look good: buy the tightest jeans around, do a clever little lift-and-push, and presto.

"I buy jeans that are tight in the rear end. I'm not kidding," Ripa tells Fitness magazine in its December/January issue. "I treat my cheeks like breasts in a push-up bra. I just reach down in there, lift them up and push them together. And they'll stay put if the jeans are tight enough in the seat."

The Live with Regis & Kelly co-host, 37, recently began exercising with a vengeance, and says her vanity is what kept her motivated to stick with it.
