Video: Kelly Ripa’s Dirty Secret
February 11th, 2009
Kelly Ripa is serving up cupcakes when she unveils colorful Electrolux appliances during an event to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund held at NYC’s Splashlight Studios on Tuesday.
Moments later, she parades from the red-hot-red kitchen appliances to the washer-dryer set. “I’m taking it all off!” she jokes. “It’s all coming off right now.”
She adds, “With three kids, I do copious amounts of laundry, and it’s the best washer and drier on the market,” she says. “Really, you can wash and dry your clothes in 36 minutes.”

Time is of the essence for Kelly, 38, who is mom to Michael, 11, Lola, 7, and Joaquin, 5, with hubby Mark Consuelos, 37. Along with her busy Live schedule and family life, she finds time for working out.
“I feel like if you want anything bad enough, you can make it happen for yourself,” she tells me. “You either have to get up early and do it or wait until the kids go to bed and do it. Or wait until they’re in school and you have time during lunch breaks to do it. That’s what I do. I go during lunch break and I do it.”
Every day, Kelly runs or participates in Physique 57, which is a combination of Pilates, yoga, aerobics and weights set to music.
“You work your front, and it’s using your own body weight to build muscle,” she tells me.
Time for exercise is made possible by the Electrolux washer-dryer combination, which is up for grabs when readers register to send virtual cupcakes here during the Valentine’s Day virtual bake sale to benefit OCRF.
“You send it to a person of your choice, and Electrolux donates $1 to OCRF towards the goal of $500,000,” Kelly says. “It’s fat-free, it’s sugar-free, it won’t cause cavities, and every time you register online, it sends a virtual cupcake – you are automatically entered to win that gorgeous front-loader washer and dryer.”
Visit the virtual bake sale going on through February 28, and enter for a chance to win while helping fight Ovarian cancer.

Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos Enjoy Winter Wonderland
December 26th, 2008
Kelly Ripa defines the word beautiful with “our kids, calmness and honor” while hubby of twelve years Mark Consuelos finds “peace” to be his ideal explanation.
This year the family is starting a new tradition.
“Winter in winter,” Kelly, 38, says. “We’re going to try it. Usually we do summer in winter – a bikini bathing suit destination – and now this year, I’m actually buying a coat. [laughs] It’s never been done before.”
Kids Michael, 11, Lola, 7, and Joaquin, 5, are enjoying having their mom and dad around more during this time of year.
“I like to take my daughter to the ballet,” Kelly says. “We go to the Nutcracker every year, but I vow every year to do it more. That’s my contribution to cultural society.”
With Christmas and Thanksgiving done and dusted, Kelly offers fitness tips for those looking to drop a few pounds.
“I go to Physique 57, right on 57th street in Manhattan. It’s the love of my life – besides my husband. That exercise program is simple, easy.”
Mark, 37, chimes in. “And it really works.”
With all that exercise, Kelly can even include her favorite junk food – pizza – in the mix.
“I find that as long as you’re keeping your body in motion, you can pretty much eat anything in moderation,” she says. “It works out.”
Inside Beyonce’s Private World
December 5th, 2008
All eyes are on Beyonce during her Cadillac Records premiere held at AMC Loews 19 in NYC. It’s great to see the Destiny’s Child songbird in the musical drama about Chess Records, where Ralph Bass, the grandfather of OK!’s fabulous Shauna Bass, worked. (He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his accomplishments there.)
The Single Ladies sensation grants costars a peck on the cheek when she mingles pre-screening, but one VIP guest is noticeably missing. Hubby Jay-Z, donning nerd glasses, makes a separate entrance with Ne-Yo long before his leading lady hits the floor.
For Beyonce, one perk of playing Etta James is stepping into someone else’s shoes.
“I learned so much about myself,” Beyonce, who has a slight Southern accent, says. “The most fun thing was that I could use all the profanity I wanted, and I couldn’t get judged for it because I was playing Etta.”
For the role, Beyonce packed on 15 lbs. How did she lose it?
“Well, if you’ve seen the video Single Ladies, it has a lot of choreography. That helped!”
Stylist Ty Hunter says it took the singing sensation only 30 minutes to choose her dress and get ready tonight. What styling tips does he give her?
“For a woman to know her body and know what really works for her, I think that’s a plus,” he tells me. “Some people just throw things on and they’re not so sure what works for them.”
He says she lost the weight by working out and cutting back on food.
Hey, look! It’s the always-affable Diddy, and here’s the cuddling Kelly Ripa and hubby Mark Consuelos. Whoops! A reporter asks whether Rosie O’Donnell and Barbara Walters should bury the hatchet. “Oh my gosh, I’m not answering that,” the mom of three shoots back. Rrr. They’re rushing Adrien Brody through. No questions.
Emmanuelle Chriqui calls Beyonce’s performance “incredible.”
“She really tapped into her essence. She went for it and really transformed. It’s astonishing.”
But don’t expect the Entourage star to start wearing ‘50s fashion. “I’m not a very buttoned-up person, but it would be a fun look. It depends.”
What makes someone beautiful?
Gabrielle Union offers up a decent blind item.
“I’ve seen probably the world’s most attractive people — until they open their mouth,” Gab says. “You need to have what comes out of your mouth match the visage. You get so ugly if you talk smack, or say awful things. I prefer no double negatives, but that’s just me — not everyone has that hang up.”
The walls go up when it comes to the ultra-private Beyonce and Jay-Z.
“I know them both,” Mos Def, who plays Chuck Berry, says. “But I don’t want to talk about it.” He calls Beyonce “dedicated, professional and hard-working.”
Eamonn Walker doesn’t want to go there either. “I don’t know her husband, really. What husband? Where? No, I admire both of them very much. I don’t know. Flummoxed.”
Akon calls Jay-Z “a nice guy,” but admits, “No one knows too much about their personal life. Not even me.”
Luckily, Beyonce’s performance has the blessing of Etta James, 70, who attended the L.A. premiere.
“Etta was lovely, she was frail, but I could see that she had been captured,” Eamonn says. “She felt that her life had been captured and honored by this movie.”
Of Beyonce’s fuller figure in the film, he cautions, “You won’t notice her weight. You’ll notice how good of an actress she is, because at the end of the day, she throws down no matter what size she is. You’ve never seen Beyonce act better.”
PARTY TIME: OK!’s Oliver Coleman reports that Beyonce and Jay-Z couldn’t have been more different from Adrien and his girl Elsa Pataky during the afterparty held at Marquee. While Adrien and Elsa can’t keep their hands off each other, B&J keep it G-rated by dancing in their seats and chatting cheerfully. Psst! Leonardo DiCaprio makes an appearance. He chats with Kevin Connolly while Russell Simmons puts the moves on Marisa Miller.
Plug time: Why should we see this film?
“It’s going to introduce a whole new generation to this time and this music, and make people understand that this is the music that influenced Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Who – all these great bands you know and love,” Eamonn says. “They all got their inspiration from this. You should see this film because if you don’t know the beginning, you won’t know the end.”
Cadillac Records is in theaters now.
Kelly Ripa’s Lawyer Rips Tabloid Split Rumor
December 3rd, 2008 / Author: OK! Staff
In response to a new tabloid report that talk show princess Kelly Ripa and her husband of 12 years, actor Mark Consuelos, were splitting, lawyers for the couple have come out swinging against the tabloid that originally published the specious story.
"There is not a shred of truth" to the story, reads the letter sent by Kelly’s attorney to the newspaper in question. The legal eagle then goes on to defend the state of the couple’s marriage: "Ms. Ripa and Mr. Consuelos are and remain happily married and living together at their home in New York City."
According to the lawyer, the story represents "little more than a cynical and malicious attempt to injure my clients and their family, to boost flagging circulation."
The letter finishes with a demand for a retraction from the Florida-based tabloid.
