Gossip Betty

artimg05751.jpgIs Kelly Ripa down-to-Earth or a diva?  A little bit of both according to the actress, host and model mom.  Kelly, married to actor Mark Consuelos, has three children and her middle child, Lola, 7, is starting to take after her just a little bit in the glamour department.  Meanwhile, Joaquin, 6, and Michael, 11, are pretty big into their sports.  

I ran into the all-American favorite looking gorgeous and glamorous and she told me, "It takes me about 90 minutes to get ready for a New York party.  When I'm getting ready, Lola likes to try on lipsticks and all my shoes with me while the boys do their sports!"

On this evening, the boys were playing in a soccer game.  "Lola's definitely a girly-girl sometimes but she likes sports, too - she's a Gemini, so true to form, she's a mix of both personalities and a great mix of Mark and me."

I know you love getting the inside scoop on the daily schedule of your favorite celebs, so I convinced Kelly to give me a rundown of her mornings with Regis
 
"My days are perfect – I’m very lucky.  I arrive at 8a.m., go straight into hair and makeup, get briefed at 8:30 and change into my fancy clothes at 8:45.” 

“At EXACTLY 8:59 and 30 seconds, Regis walks to my open door, stands outside and says to no one in particular, ‘Well, I'm trying to get her out, but she just won't come!’ Every. Single. Day.  It never fails.  We are both huge creatures of habit - we love the organization and the schedule!"

I think she is adorable and seems to have a great relationship with Reeg. I can understand that she brightens people's days.

They are both great. Regis is halarious and Kelly makes a great "straight man."
