Regis Philbin had the day off so Kelly Ripa co-hosted the show yesterday with her husband, Mark Consuelos.  It was hilarious when they talked about their two-week long road trip with their children.  Instead of jet-setting around the world, the pair elected to travel with their three children in a rented minivan. 

When they showed pictures of the kids as they visited a variety of sights on the trip, I seriously cracked up because their oldest son, 12-year-old Michael, refused to smile in any pictures.

Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, were on Good Morning America this morning where they talked about their new reality TV show, Masters of Reception.  They are working with TLC on the project that follows couples through their wedding to give viewers a behind-the-scenes look at what disasters can occur on the big day and how a good planner can help avert them.

They were really cute together, as usual, and they joked about how he gets her to forgive him with his “winning smile” and how they manage to juggle their busy work schedules as they raise their three children.  They were put on “The Hot Seat” at the end of the interview where they were asked if their children had chores (yes, they have to scoop their puppy’s poop, take out the garbage, etc…), whether working far apart helps keep their marriage happy and if they workout together.  Watch the cute interview:

Mark Consuelos, the hunky husband of talk show host, Kelly Ripa, was apparently offered a spot on Dancing With the Stars but there’s basically zero chance of him learning the Fox Trot.  Of the opportunity, Mark said: "I’d rather jump through a plate glass window on fire than dance in front of America."  

What about Kelly?  We’ve all seen her do some outlandish and over-the-top things in the past.  Does she want her husband to accept the offer?  Not in a million years, according to Mark.  "She knows how bad I am. It would be so, so bad."

Too bad!  I would love to see him all dressed up in one of those Dancing outfits! 

Kelly Ripa and my favorite guest co-host, Anderson Cooper, had a lot of fun together, as usual this week.  They kicked off the morning with a little banter about shoe sizes and the perfect attendance of one high school graduate who, they speculated, has probably infected dozens of her classmates (that was my first thought) since she’s never missed a day of school since Kindergarten.

Here are some great pictures of Kelly and Anderson hosting the Ultimate Hometown Grill Off.  Don’t forget, if you watched the show, voting for the best brisket nominee runs from today until Sunday, June 7, 2009.

Kelly Ripa may not have filed suit but she’s definitely threatening a diet company for using her image without permission.

E! News is reporting the following: “Kelly’s attorney did not file a lawsuit. A lawsuit was only threatened.  A cease and desist letter was sent on behalf of Kelly.”

Further, her attorney states that Kelly has “never used or received the product” and she had she heard of the products until someone told her about the ads.

Kelly sent a cease and desist letter to the company, asking them to remove her name and image from “all ads, websites and blogs” after the weight-loss firm not only suggested that she endorsed Guaranà but also “took money for orders and failed to deliver the goods.”

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.

At last, the nominees for this year’s Daytime Emmy Awards have been announced! Of course, some of our favorite talk shows and talk show hosts have been nominated so here is a list of some of the categories and nominations.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show has by far taken the crown for the most amount of nominations this year with over six of them! Rachael Ray and Dr. Phil got a good amount as well. Who are you rooting for? I have no idea who’s going to win for Outstanding Talk Show. It’s quite a close match, so it should be interesting to see who takes it!

This year Vanessa Williams will be hosting the awards show! Make sure to catch the event on August 30th at 8 pm E.T on the CW Network!

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!

Kelly Ripa dropped by Late Night With David Letterman earlier this week and it was a cute appearance.  I love the green dress that Kelly wore!

While she was there, she and host, David Letterman, talked about marriage and he explained why he was so hesitant to get married again even though he had been in the relationship for such a long time (he and Regina Lasko had been dating since 1986 but only married last month!).  Kelly argued that, if you’re going to be miserable, you should want to be miserable with someone since you will always have them to blame for your unhappiness.  Too funny!

Daytime talk show host, Kelly Ripa, launched the “Kelly Green” laundry set with Electrolux.  The eco-friendly washer and dryer is partnering with an online campaign to support green school initiatives across America.  That’s a worthy cause!

For every virtual flower that is planted on www.kelly-confidential.com, a $1 donation will be made to Global Green USA.  To sweeten the deal, for every day that you log on and plant a virtual flower, you will be automatically entered for a chance to win an eco-friendly washer and dryer from Electrolux in the new “Kelly Green” limited edition shade.
