Kelly Ripa Shares Daughter Lola"s GORGEOUS Prom Photo!

Kelly Ripa is intensely gorgeous and Mark Consuelos is almost comically handsome, so it is no surprise that their daughter is stunningly beautiful.

Lola Grace Consuelos turns 17 at the end of next week. This week, she attended prom.

Proud mother Kelly couldn’t help but share a photo of this sweet milestone. Take a look!

Lola is notoriously picky about which photos including her she’s okay with her parents sharing on social media.

It makes sense — not only are parents super embarrassing by their nature, but her parents are very, very famous.

Honestly, anyone at any age has every right to be picky about their photos, but this is especially true for a teenage girl.

Which is why it is so sweet that Lola must have given her mom the okay to share her prom pic.

It’s a genuinely great photo.

Kelly Ripa captioned the photo of her 16-year-old daughter with her dapper date:

“Prom night 2018.”

She followed those words with five star emojis.

Lola is sporting a lavender Alice + Olivia evening gown, available from Neiman Marcus.

This particular dress has delicate straps, a side slit, and also a degree of ruching.

(Ruching is when you give fabric a tastefully wrinkled look by gathering or pleating fabric)

You know, if there’s ever a school dance to which you might wear pastels, it’s prom. it’s in the spring.

Lola looks great and so does her date.

Kelly and Mark met in 1995 when they played love interests Hayley and Mateo on the soap opera, All My Children.

The following year, they eloped. This past May 1 was the couple’s 22nd wedding anniversary.

In June of 1997, the couple welcomed their oldest child, Michael Joseph Consuelos.

(He is now old enough to drink, so, congrats on feeling super old if you remember when Kelly and Mark started dating; I sure do)

Lola Grace Consuelos came into the world on June 16, 2001. As we mentioned,s he will be 17 next Saturday.

Kelly is respectful of her daughter’s boundaries and gets her approval before she shares family photos that feature her, which is definitely the right thing to do.

On February 24, 2003, Kelly and Mark welcomed their youngest, Joaquin Antonio Consuelos.

Kelly has been described as one of the most powerful people in media, and that is not inaccurate.

She left the world of soap operas shortly after Lola was born and it was not long before she became one of the most recognizable daytime talkshow hosts.

In the mean time, her husband Mark has continued acting but been less visible than his virtually omnipresent wife.

Recently, he has been starring on the hit CW series Riverdale, where he plays Veronica Lodge’s father, Hiram P. Lodge.

Entertainingly, Lola has lamented that he’s a more permissive father on the show than he is in real life.

Kelly shares that Lola envies that Veronica, a fictional high school student, drinks mimosas with breakfast, while Mark and Kelly would allow nothing of the sort for their actual children.

Folks, the CW always features rampant underage drinking. But don’t worry; there’s always a three-to-five episode story arc in which someone tries a fictional drug, becomes addicted, overdoses, and then recovers.

That’s on just about every one of their shows. Gossip Girl or The Secret Circle or Arrow.

Some parents are afraid to let their children grow up, and they become uncomfortable at major life milestones.

Good for Kelly for being so excited and happy at her daughter’s prom. It’s a big deal.

And Lola looks so amazing. We’re thrilled that she gave her mom the go-ahead to share the pic.

It’s worth noting that a lot of the family’s graduation milestones, such as Joaquin’s just last year, happen to Fall on Lola’s birthday.

June birthdays are like that sometimes.

Regis Philbin Says You Shoulda Seen Kelly Ripa in a Bikini 20 Years Ago

Regis Philbin is stickin’ up for his former co-host Kelly Ripa … sorta. We got Reege leaving La Scala in Bev Hills Friday and asked about Internet trolls who are baggin’ on Kelly over a bikini photo hubby Mark Consuelos posted showing the…

Kelly Ripa: Body-Shamed (Hard!) for This Bikini Pic

Call us crazy.

Say we’re going out on a major limb here, but we still feel a need to say it:

The Internet can be a very cruel place.

No, really. It’s true!

Just take the case of Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, for example.

The long-time couple were out and about on the beach over the weekend, having a swell time in the sun, snapping pictures and sharing them on social media.

At one point, Consuelos took a photo of his 47-year old wife in a two-piece bathing suit and wrote as a caption:

“Sultry Sundays with the sexy one are my fave,” he wrote.

Pretty sweet, right?

And, based on the snapshot itself right here, pretty accurate, right?

Looking damn fine, Kelly Ripa!

The pair’s Instagram affection continued from there, with Ripa and Consuelos posting beach shots together in their Instagram stories, simply adding “#daddy” and “Yep” as captions.

Considering the stars have been married since 1996 and have three kids, it’s refreshing to see that they remain so in love and so attracted to each other.

It’s refreshing to us, at least.

To others, apparently, it’s the basis for some serious body-shaming.

What follows is a sampling of actual comments left by actual social media users who really may need to get a life or find a hobby — or both!

She has the body of a 12-year-old boy. Guess ‘sexy’ is a matter of opinion. She is adorable, but …

Kelly’s gorgeous, but isn’t there a cutoff age where age appropriateness comes into play?

Just because you can rock a bikini, doesn’t mean you should. When you have teenagers whose friends can ogle pictures, then it’s creepy.

She has a guy’s figure.

Her body is nothing to be proud of.

We really wish we were making these critiques up.

But this is sort of stuff some people really take the time to think of and write online.

Nobody is immune to this sort of shaming, either, not even buff men such as Stephen Amell.

It makes us very sad to consider, but then we get all happy again when we remember how these strong women (and men!) often fight back against the loser trolls.

Take the following cases, for instance, and then go from being angry to being inspired.

Simply put: yo go, stars!

Kim Kardashian to Replace Kelly Ripa as Ryan Seacrest"s Co-Host?

The Kardashians recently celebrated ten years on television, an impressive achievement in the era of Peak TV.

But throughout their careers, the cultural legitimacy that they seem to crave has eluded Kim and company.

They’ve made attempts to shake off the stigma of reality stardom, but audiences have been slow to accept the idea of the Kard clan as entertainers or or even talk show hosts.

Kim Kardashian’s attempt at a music career earned her more laughter than applause.

Kris Jenner’s short-lived talk show flopped with both critics and audiences.

Most recently, Khloe Kardashian tried to rebrand herself as an Andy Cohen-esque droll new voice in late night, but Kocktails With Khloe was canceled by E! after a just a few weeks on the air.

But this is the family who turned a “leaked” sex tape into one of a wildly lucrative multimedia empire, so it’s not hard to see persistent in their belief that mainstream acceptance is just around the corner.

It’s in that spirit that Kim has accepted a substitute spot on ABC’s Live With Kelly and Ryan in hopes that it’ll lead to a full-time gig.

It’s tough to imagine Kim as a daytime host, but she has reason to be hopeful.

According to Radar Online, Kim’s co-host soon-to-be co-host, Ryan Seacrest, sees her as the future of the long-running Live franchise.

Seacrest has been by the Kardashian’s side from the very beginning, helping to launch Keeping Up With the Kardashians back in 2007 and staying on as executive producer throughout the show’s ten-year run.

Rumors of on-set tension between Seacrest and current co-host Kelly Ripa have been circulating for months, and sources say Rya would love nothing more than for Kim to take Kelly’s spot in the seat next to him.

“She has Ryan’s support,” one insider tells Radar.

The insider says Seacrest has always been planning to choose Ripa’s replacement when she eventually moves on to a different gig.

“Ryan would love to get one of his friends to replace Kelly if she chooses to leave,” the source adds.

“He likes surrounding himself with people who adore him and are loyal to him.”

As for Ripa, she’s reportedly been open to the idea of seeking out greener pastures ever since former co-host Michael Strahan left Live unexpectedly last year.

“Kelly’s announced that if push comes to shove, she’s ready to walk,” says the insider.

Sounds like this is the chance Kim’s been waiting for.

But only time will tell if she’s capable of winning over skeptical viewers.

Regis Philbin: Kelly Ripa Is Bitter!

Regis Philbin departedLive! with Regis and Kelly back in 2011, but his friendship with co-host, Kelly Ripa has not been the same since. 

In a new interview with Larry King, the 85-year-old opened up about his strained friendship with Ripa, who seemed to think his departure was linked to her. 

When quizzed by King whether he remained in contact with Kelly, Philbin replied, “Not really, no.”

King pressed further to get closer to the cause of the breakdown in their relationship. 

“She got very offended when I left. She thought I was leaving because of her,” Philbin revealed.

“I was leaving because I was getting older and that wasn’t right for me anymore.”

Regis did feel like his exit was taken personally by his co-star. 

“That was 11 years ago, and I…” 

Regis Philbin: Kelly Ripa Does Not Talk To Me!

In the above clip, you can hear Larry stepping in with, “Haven’t heard?” 

Regis agreed that he had not heard from her. 

Another talking point for the duo was whether Philbin had been asked back as a guest host. He revealed that he was “never once” asked back. 

He then went on to speculate on what his potential involvement could be. 

“I don’t know. How often would it be? Would it be every night? Every day?” said Philbin.

“I do miss it. There are times when I really miss it and wish I’d never stopped. But, you know, I just figured it was time to let go.”

As you probably already know, Regis is not the only co-host who has a broken relationship with Kelly. 

Michael Strahan succeeded Philbin in 2012, but made headlines in April 2016 when he announced he was leaving the show to defect to Good Morning America. 

The animosity between Ripa and Strahan appeared to stem from Ripa not being made aware of Strahan’s departure in advance.

What do you think about all of this?

Michael Strahan Loves GMA, Doesn"t Miss Kelly Ripa

Michael Strahan has said goodbye to Kelly Ripa.

And he"s basically saying good riddance as well.

Not in those exact words, of course, but it"s pretty clear at this point that the former football star and co-host of Live with Kelly and Michael is happy with his new career course.

Back in the spring, Strahan announced he was leaving his full-time position at Live for a full-time position at Good Morning America, a decision that was apparently news to Ripa.

She was upset that she learned of the move at the last second, and she made her dissatisfaction pretty well known.

After not appearing on her own program for a couple days, Ripa returned to Live and then awkwardly sat next to Strahan for a few weeks until he made his departure. 

It was the epitome of trainwreck television.

So, how does Strahan feel about his new gig, which got underway this week?

Quite awesome, thank you very much!

“GMA has been great. It’s earlier obviously,” Strahan told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show on Wednesday.

He continued:

“I’m getting up a lot earlier. I start at 7, I’ve got to be there a little earlier than that, but it’s been great because it’s so interesting and I’m learning.

"So every job I’ve had I’ve just learned along the way, and this one is interesting because of all the stories involving so many different things that are new to me and I’m loving it.”

Strahan didn"t talk about leaving Ripa at all.

But his silence spoke volumes.

“I’m cool, like now, but the second the cameras go off or somebody walks up to me, I’m like this,” he said, bowing his head and looking away.

“And when I was a kid and I played football and I was 7 or 8 I cried the entire game. I didn’t like the applause. I didn’t like the cheering. It scared me. I didn’t like the attention, and I still don’t in some ways."

As for Kelly? She made her own announcement on Wednesday.

She is yet to decide on a replacement for Strahan, but she"ll soon be welcoming a fan to sit next to her for one special episode.

Using social media, someone out there can actually serve as co-host one morning down the line.

"Now it"s time to put your mouths where your thumbs are," Ripa quipped yesterday morning, after noting that she’d read social media comments calling her job easy.

"I"m building a co-host empire."

Watch Strahan speak to Fallon about football below and sound off: Do you miss him on Live?

Michael Strahan Debuts on Good Morning America: Good Riddance, Ripa!

Michael Strahan is ready to tackle a new challenge.

A few months after his very awkward and contentious exit from Live! with Kelly and Michael, the former New York Giants defensive star made his debut Tuesday as a full-time anchor on Good Morning America.

And while Strahan was basically shown the door in angry fashion by Kelly Ripa back in May, he was welcomed warmly to the morning desk by colleagues George Stephanopoulos and Robin Roberts this morning.

You can see the opening few moments for yourself below.

They included a few cheers from those on set, behind the scenes:

“This is @GMA, with @RobinRoberts, @GStephanopoulos & @michaelstrahan!”

Great to have you here full time, Michael! https://t.co/thDERIgM9J

— Good Morning America (@GMA) September 6, 2016

“This is GMA with RobinRoberts, George Stephanopoulos and Michael Strahan,” said the voiceover, while Roberts joked that this feels like “the first day of school.”

For many kids around the country, of course, today is the first day of school.

“The only thing I’m missing is my Spider-Man lunchbox,” Strahan joked.

Strahan has appeared numerous times before as a GMA correspondent, but he announced this spring that he was leaving Live to pursue that gig full-time.

Ripa, according to many sources, was not informed of this decision before the public was made aware of the move.

She responded in understandable anger, not showing up for a work for a couple of days out of protest.

When she did finally come back, she and Strahan tried to joke around about the career change, but their interactions were nothing but forced and tense until Strahan’s departure on May 13.

To wit:

Kelly Ripa Just Brought Up Michael Strahan’s Divorce

In response to this awkward set-up, Strahan moved his exit date way up.

When he originally announced he was leaving Live, Strahan said it would make the switch in September.

But producers couldn’t possibly continue with Ripa and Strahan as co-hosts for much longer, resulting in the latter getting the heck out of there four months earlier than initially planned.

I’m not dying! I’m still in the family!” he said on air upon making the GMA announcement, adding:

“And I’m still available to come back if I’m ever called to co-host so I’m not going anywhere. I’m not gone.”

Yeah. We somehow doubt he’ll ever be called upon for that.

Ripa is yet to announce a permanent replacement for Strahan, following rumors that the two hated each other away from set.

But Strahan is clearly keeping his eyes on the future, not the past.

He will co-anchor the ABC morning show each weekday and he recently told People Magazine of accepting the new position:

“Can’t wait to be there full-time. Great, great family to work with over there, I’m looking forward to it.”

View Slideshow: 16 Celebs Who Could Replace Michael Strahan On Live!

Fair enough.

With our eyes also affixed to the future, above is a look at stars we’d love to see take over Strahan’s old seat alongside Kelly.

Who would your ideal co-host be?

Michael Strahan Throws Shade at Kelly Ripa: Now I Can Have Fun!

You probably thought the Kelly Ripa-Michael Strahan feud was over, didn’t you?

You probably assumed this unexpected rivalry had ended after Strahan left Live! on ABC after an ugly professional divorce, right?

Apparently not.

The former football star departed Live! on acrimonious terms this spring, following three successful years that saw him grow into a certified media star.

He has originally planned to stick around until the fall before leaving for a full-time gig with Good Morning America…

… but Kelly Ripa reacted harshly to the way in which she found out about his career change and Strahan’s departure date was moved up to May 13.

That’s what happens when there’s such tension on the set every day that one co-host blindsides the other co-host with a reference to his divorce:

Kelly Ripa Just Brought Up Michael Strahan’s Divorce

According to insiders, Ripa was “livid” over not being well-informed over Strahan’s future, only being told about his Good Morning America decision immediately before the public learned of it.

The subsequent set of episodes that featured Kelly and Michael were as awkward as live television can get.

So… after a crazy last few months, what has Strahan learned?

He was asked this question by E! News this week and replied as follows:

“You know what? I’ve learned to have fun. Life is not that serious.”

Whoa there! Is there any way to take that other than as a direct shot aimed at Ripa?

It doesn’t sound like he had a blast working along her side, does it? At least not over the past few weeks.

Strahan made his comments Thursday while standing beside his 11-year-old twin daughters, Sophia and Isabella; they were at the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s screening of Ice Age: Collision Course in New York.

The star has a speaking role in that animated film.

“We have so many things that happen that make you realize how precious life is, how you’d better enjoy every day and that your attitude is – you can determine what your attitude is,” Strahan told E! News.

He added:

“You wake up, you make yourself happy, you make yourself whatever you want it to be, and that’s how I look at it every day that I wake up and that’s been more than in the last few months.

“That’s just the way I live my life.”

That all sounds great. There’s no way to argue with that philosophy.

But there’s no way to look at it as anything but a diss of Ripa, either.

Jeff Gordon to Co-Host Live with Kelly Ripa?

Hiring a former athlete didn’t exactly work out the first time for Live! with Kelly Ripa.

But, hey, if at first you don’t succeed…

Following the unceremonious exit of Michael Strahan from the morning show last month, sources have now told TV Line that Jeff Gordon is one of the leading contenders to take over as Ripa’s main sidekick this fall.

Strahan, of course, was a former defensive standout for the New York Giants.

Gordon, meanwhile, is a former stock car racer who retired as one of the most successful driver of all-time last year.

Way back in the Live With Regis and Kelly era, he guest-hosted nine times. There’s clear chemistry between Gordon and Ripa.

Since hanging up his pedals several months ago, the 44-year-old Gordon has transitioned into broadcasting, serving these days as a NASCAR analyst on Fox.

The program is reportedly in no rush to hire a permanent replacement for Strahan, who left the show on My 13 for a full-time gig on Good Morning America.

He did so after a number of awkward episodes and interactions with Ripa, seeing as she made her feelings about the way his departure was handled well known to all who would listen.

The program now has a new logo and a new name for the summer.

Some insiders have also said that Ripa has a new salary on the way, along with a promise that Live! will remain in its current time slot on ABC.

Among other big names in contention for the eventual co-hosting job are Rob Lowe and THG favorite Anderson Cooper.

“Lots of rumors out there, but we don’t comment on co-host speculation,” a Live! rep told TV Line in response to its article.

Do you think Gordon would make a solid choice? Do you have another star in mind?

Or do you not care one bit about Kelly Ripa and her talk show?

Michael Strahan to Pen Scathing Memoir About Kelly Ripa?

Michael Strahan has already left Live! for Good Morning America.

But that doesn’t mean the talk show host is done with Kelly Ripa, not according to a new tabloid cover story.

The latest issue of Star claims that Strahan has a $ 10 million offer on the table to pen a memoir that will reveal endless secrets about his former colleague.

An anonymous insider tells the magazine that Strahan would “relish telling his side of the story” of why he ditched one ABC program for another.

Strahan, of course, announced in mid-April that he would depart Live! in September in order to become a full-time part of Good Morning America.

But Ripa felt disrespected enough by the way in which ABC handled this announcement to stage a mini-boycott of her own show.

She eventually returned… talked about the need for respect in the workplace… and then awkwardly sat next to Strahan for the next few weeks until he ended up leaving on May 13.

Kelly Ripa Just Brought Up Michael Strahan’s Divorce

What might a Strahan memoir include?

Details on how Live! employees supposedly dislike Ripa, and “how icy-cold she can be toward anyone she deems beneath her.”

The magazine writes that Ripa would also tell Strahan “very private, intimate stuff” about her marriage to Mark Consuelos… all of which Strahan is now prepared to spill to the public!

Michael has “seen the worst side of Kelly, and he could blow apart her carefully constructed image and ultimately humiliate her,” the bombshell report claims.

Ever since Strahan confirmed his job change, there’s been talk that he and Ripa have hated each other for years.

Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan Celebrate Daytime Emmy Awards Win

And this may very well be true.

But Strahan has still carved out a reputation as one of television’s most beloved morning personalities. It seems very hard to believe that he’d risk that for a few million bucks.

The guy has raked in plenty already from his professional football career and his new GMA gig.

Ripa, meanwhile, has possibly gone rogue.

She has also lined up a number of guest co-hosts, with no decision about a permanent fellow anchor expected any time soon.

We have a few suggestions, however…

Jimmy Kimmel to Kelly Ripa: Where"s Michael?!?

Jimmy Kimmel sat in as Kelly Ripa’s first guest host on LIVE Monday morning, wasting very little time in addressing the elephant not in the room.

After walking out holding Ripa’s hand, yet having his seat pulled out for him by his lovely co-anchor, Kimmel had just one question for Ripa:

“Where’s Michael?” he asked, making a reference to Michael Strahan.

“That’s right you don’t read newspapers,” Ripa responded over the laughing audience.

Strahan, of course, said goodbye to LIVE on Friday, following a very awkward few weeks in which he announced he was leaving for Good Morning America and Ripa responded in outrage.

Just two days after Strahan departed the program, it unveiled a new logo and title.

Kimmel then joked that he’s “like an ex-boyfriend you go back to for sex,” prior to peppering producer Michael Gelman with many questions about Strahan.

“Will you ever talk to Michael Strahan again? Will he be back on the show as a guest?” Kimmel asked.

An embarrassed Gelman responded with a “yes” and a “maybe.” 

But Kimmel wasn’t done!

He later introduced a new game called “Wheel of Co-hosts,” which featured a spinning wheel come down from the ceiling with the names of seven potential candidates to become Ripa’s next full-time co-anchor.

It included Derek Jeter (YES!), Kylie Jenner (NO!) and a “party-sized summer sausage.”

When it landed on the latter, though, Kimmel joked he was getting a call from his producer.

“The sausage is leaving to go to Good Morning America,” he said, making fun og Strahan’s impending new gig on GMA.

Pretty great stuff all around. The topic had to be addressed, right?

Following Kimmel on the co-hosting docket will be Empire’s Jussie Smollett on Tuesday… comedian Cedric the Entertainer  on Wednesday… ABC World News Tonight anchor David Muir on Thursday… and Hawaii Five-0’s Daniel Dae Kim on Friday.

Do you want to see any of them become permanent host?

Kelly Ripa DISSES ABC Execs: She"s Gone Rogue!

Kelly Ripa has not been shy about her displeasure with ABC’s handling of Michael Strahan’s departure from Live! With Kelly and Michael.

The network, along with her co-host, broke the news to her just minutes before making the announcement public, a move that blindsided her.

When she returned to Live! after pulling a no-show then going on a pre-planned vacation, she spoke to the audience about the importance of communication and respect in the workplace.

And then she gave a candid, tell-all interview to People magazine.

Well, it seems network producers weren’t aware that she’d be speaking out to the press.

“They had no idea she was telling her story to the cover of People until after it went to print on Monday,” a source told Radar Online.

“She has gone rogue,” adds the source.

“She doesn’t trust her bosses anymore and is taking her career into her own hands.”

So, they didn’t tell her something and she didn’t tell them something. Tit for tat, I suppose?

“She’s no longer including the network in her decisions or press,” added the source.

Strahan, on the other hand, declined the People cover, following the advice of his bosses.

In her interview, Ripa explains that the issue was complicated.

“There’s a part of me that can say, ‘Okay, I understand. This may have been an oversight,"” she said about the network’s failing to keep her apprised of Strahan’s leaving.

But she went on to reiterate her sentiments about professionalism in the workplace.

“I think that all people are deserving of fair treatment in the workplace. People deserve respect,” she affirmed. “People should be treated equally and with dignity.”

“People make mistakes, and we’re all human,” she added.
