Don’t believe the rumors about Kelly Ripa and hubby Mark Consuelos calling it quits after 12 years of marriage. They were a picture of a happy couple at the Cadillac Premiere. Kelly was wearing a black tunic by the Olsen’s Twins line Elizabeth and James.  She accessorized with a green clutch and a long gold necklace.

Personally, I think the one-shouldered look is just a lazy upgrade from those ubiquitous strapless and tube dresses that we’ve had too much of.

Still, you have to admit that these versions are lovely. Roselyn toned down the sexy and turned up the lovely in Latina in this printed frock. And I like Kelly’s black number too – but just not on her. Plus those shoes are not working.

We don’t see blings on Ms Ripa and maybe because her outfit alone already makes a great statement. She’s purplicious in her Jill Stuart dress and the pretty Tribute heels by YSL.

Despite the sweet neckline details and the cute pockets, Kelly’s dress is still the same old black strapless number we’ve seen reused and rehashed far too many times. Those squarish heels don’t match the dress, and do nothing to the ensemble except to increase the dull factor. Double yawn.

I love this dress and I love it on Kelly. In my book, Kelly can do purple anytime and not look like some Barney mutant or something.

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?

"Well, I think she's fabulous in so many ways. She not only has a personal life filled with a husband, three kids, and now a dog, but professionally, she's one of the most talented women in our business. I'm not making this up! I'm going to say it again until somebody listens to me: This is the closest person to Lucille Ball that we have in our generation. That's what I think. Now let's hear what she thinks about me!" - Regis Philbin on Kelly Ripa

I really can't say, I don't watch the show Regis! But I love Lucy!

Kelly is in fine form in her pretty Dodger blue dress and silver pumps! She is a sight to behold alright but not pretty sure about her being the Lucille Ball of this generation. Can she whine?

Talk show co-host Kelly Ripa suggested Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan meet her sister to see "the physical agony" she endures after being hit by a drunk driver. 

Lohan was arrested Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif. According to reports, Lohan's blood alcohol level was between 0.12 percent and 0.13 percent, above California's legal limit of 0.08 percent. Police also reported finding cocaine in her pants pocket. Lohan, free on bail, was booked on several charges relating to driving under the influence and possession of controlled substances.

Linda Ripa was hit by a drunk driver who ran a red light in 1999. Linda Ripa, who was eight months pregnant at the time, broke her nose, sternum, back, and bones of her right ankle and foot. Mother and baby survived, but the baby went into a coma in utero after the bones of Ripa's pelvis smashed into his head, Actress Archives reported Wednesday.

During Wednesday's show, Kelly Ripa said she also wanted to talk to Lohan about "wasting opportunities and what a blessing it is each day just to get up in the morning and to be healthy."

My mother has weird fashion sense, just like my grandma. She has this uncanny fashion statement, she's been telling us since time immemorial that whatever color you wear, you can always neutralize it with brown. She has everything in that color. Every time we went shopping she would force me to get brown. When I knew better, I put my brown where they should be. And Kelly's brown bag is obviously an odd man out in her refreshing white and grey halter number. I don't hate brown and i just think it doesn't go with her outfit. No hard feelings brown.
