TV host Kelly Ripa made a dramatic recovery from a bout of stomach flu to return to Live With Regis & Kelly on Wednesday - just 24 hours after she fled the show.

Ripa was forced to cut short a live broadcast from the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas on Monday when she fell ill. Co-host Regis Philbin later told viewers, "Kelly is a little bit under the weather right now."

Ripa returned on Wednesday, and credited her parents with nursing her to a speedy recovery. After Philbin joked, "She's pregnant again," Ripa told viewers, "I am sorry about that. It caught me by surprise. My parents took care of me all night. Cold compresses and nice hot tea."

I sound like a broken when in comes to my disgust for mermaid gowns. I have called it everything - fishy, scaly, uncomfortable to walk, ugly, weird etc, etc.  Kelly's gowns has a really nice detail on it but they had to put the fins in and I don't know why. Going fishing, I hope?

Borrring. Next. What's so sexy with her dress? Nothing! And not only that it looks like she needs a hair brush too. Just rolled out of bed?

We all know Mellissa's knocked up and all but there are a lot of very cute maternity dresses out there. Check Nicole Richie and Halle Berry. She doesn't strike me as someone who can't afford to buy a baby doll dress or maybe it's the freaking hormones at work? Celebrity + preggers = so Hollywood nowadays and cute maternity outfits are a must.

Keri Russell is following up her amazing turn in the even more amazing movie Waitress (yes Rafe, you are the only one) by doing an Adam Sandler starring redo of Jumanji. At least that’s sort of what it sounds like.

Variety says Russell has been hired to star as the female lead in Sandler’s Disney backed fantasy comedy Bedtime Stories. The movie casts Sandler as a man who tells bedtime stories to his niece and nephew, only to have his lavish tales turn real. Actually, maybe it’s more of a cross between Jumanji and A Night at the Museum. Expect monkeys. Keri Russell will be stuck as the film’s obligatory love interest.

Adam Shankman, who was most recently responsible for remaking Hairspray. But don’t hold that against him. Instead, hold Cheaper by the Dozen 2 or The Pacifier against him.

What is Keri wearing? It looks big for her and very unflattering. Britney's nannies can do better. Well, if she ever had one anyways.

I guess she just can't leave her house without anything of shock value in her dress. Or she might just look like one of the girls. This rich girl ain't taking it like that! The weirder it gets, the better it is for her - I guess!? 

It's good she's walking those deadly platform shoes indoor. Definitely not recommended in windy cities.

SPICE GIRL MELANIE BROWN is convinced her daughter PHOENIX CHI will follow in her footsteps, because the eight-year-old has inherited her mother's dancing moves. The singer was thrilled to watch Phoenix dance along while she shot U.S. TV show Dancing With The Stars, and she is sure the youngster is destined for the stage herself. Brown, who finished runner-up on the show on Tuesday night (27Nov07), says, "She loves Dancing With The Stars. Maks (dance partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy) has been teaching her little routines. "She's learning routines at the Spice Girls rehearsals too, She's got the dance fever."

It's a pretty decent beaded number with cute pumps and she looks great in it. But I am for Julianne Hough. Sorry, can't help it, I still have the Dancing with the Stars fever. Spice fever? Nah.

Despite comparing Nicole Kidman to an alien, veteran actress Shirley Maclaine has nothing but praise for the Aussie beauty.

Maclaine, who was Kidman's co-star in 2005 movie Bewitched, found herself to be in awe of the Hours actress' acting skills and extraordinary looks.

She was so impressed by Kidman that she even gave her the nickname "my alien".

"Nicole Kidman is an actress of exquisite range whose Dresden china beauty is breathtaking. She has focus and can act on anything," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.

"She is so otherworldly that I took to calling her my 'alien'. She didn't seem to mind," she added.

She used to be some kind of fashion goddess to me but it seems she has sort of lost it. Gone were the days when everything she chose no matter how ugly turned into gold. This time the outfit may be shiny but it lacks luster.

BRITNEY Spears was reportedly granted custody of two-year-old Sean Preston and 14-month-old Jayden James for Christmas Day. It is believed the 25-year-old singer was granted custody of the boys by Superior Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon for the holiday because her ex-husband Kevin Federline, 29, had the boys for Thanksgiving last Thursday.

Britney has three weekly visits with her sons, including one overnight stay, all supervised by a court-appointed parenting coach, while Kevin has been awarded temporary full custody. The couple's next hearing has been scheduled for January 23

Pink bag, black dress and brown boots - here we go again! Her outfits were an enigma before and it's even chaotic now. Yeah, even messier than the oil spill in San Francisco weeks ago.
