Talk show host/model/businesswoman, Tyra Banks, was spotted at the Calvin Klein Collection and Visionaire 56 Solar launch at The Standard Hotel yesterday in New York City.  From what I’ve read, Calvin Klein’s collaboration with Visionaire is pretty significant since “Visionaire 56 Solar is the first publication to use patented, formulated inks that have the ability to transform black and white images into brilliant colour.”  That’s amazing and completely relevant to the fashion industry!

To be very honest, I don’t think she looks all that well in these pictures but maybe it’s just the heat from the summer?  I love the dress and the shoes since they look so crisp and nice for this time of year but Tyra just looks warn out and tired. 

Talk show host, Kelly Ripa, and her incredibly handsome husband, Mark Consuelos, were spotted at the 69th Annual American Ballet Theatre Spring Gala at The Metropolitan Opera House yesterday.  I’m guessing the weather in New York City is fairly warm because Kelly looked comfortable (and really stunning) in her strapless dress.

Sherri Shepherd looked beautiful as she attended Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2009 event at the Lincoln Center in New York City.  The View host looks like she’s got a bag filled with goodies!  I wonder what’s in it!?

Talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, got to reunite with her friend, First Lady Michelle Obama, at Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of 2009 event at the Lincoln Center in New York City.  Both ladies made the list this year and I’m not surprised since they played a major role in the election of President Barack Obama. 

Since getting to know each other during the campaigning, Oprah and Michelle have regularly been spotted together and Oprah invited the First Lady to be the first person (other than Oprah) to appear on the cover of O magazine.

Tyra Banks looked fierce at the ‘The Model as Muse: Embodying Fashion’ Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art last night in New York City.

There was a lot of star power at the event which was made possible by the honorary chair (and amazing designer) Marc Jacobs and his co-chairs Kate Moss, Justin Timberlake (really?) and Anna Wintour.

The spring 2009 exhibition which “explores the reciprocal relationship between high fashion and evolving ideals of beauty, focusing on iconic fashion models in the latter half of the 20th century” is located in the Tisch galleries on the second floor of the museum and will be open until August 9, 2009.

Talk show host, Kelly Ripa, along with her husband, Mark Consuelos, and their three children Michael, Lola and Joaquin were spotted at Battery Park which is located at the southern tip of Manhattan (a borough of New York City). 

I’m so extremely jealous looking at these pictures because I live in a part of the world that is having freakish weather and I’ve had snow for the past three days.  Meanwhile, Kelly and her adorable family are all decked out in summer clothes!  Aren’t her kids cute?  I can’t believe how much they’ve grown!

Regis Philbin arrived for work at the Live! With Regis and Kelly studios looking really great.  I love that he has his classic style but he adds modern touches with those sunglasses and the purple accents.  Way to keep it hip, Regis! 

Whoopi Goldberg attended the first annual Endometriosis Foundation of America Blossom Ball earlier this week.  The event was held to help raise awareness and money to fight endometriosis, a disease that affects millions of woman and adolescent girls. The Blossom Ball was held at the Prince George Ballroom in New York City and featured a cocktail reception, dinner and silent auction.  Details instructed guests to wear “cocktail attire” but I’m guessing Whoopi either missed that or chose to ignore it and, instead, went with her usual casual look.

Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, were spotted outside of the Live with Regis and Kelly studios looking adorable!  I really love this couple (I have since the days when I watched them on All My Children) so I am glad they still seem to be going strong.  Mark is a regular on Oprah Fridays Live! and he really does bring the male perspective to the show which I like a lot.

Today show contributor and Food Network star, Giada De Laurentiis, was spotted at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) as she prepared to board a flight.  I don’t know where she was going or whether her husband and baby girl were with her but she does look a bit tired.  I can’t blame her – traveling can be so exhausting!  I do love her coat, though!
