Wannabe Moguls

Filed under: TV News > Kelly Ripa

One of the most enduring couples in Hollywoodland, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, have signed a production deal with cabler TLC.

Kelly and Mark are more than pretty TV presenters. They are business people, too!

The duo will develop 'unscripted' (ahem, reality) shows for the feel-good network through their production company, Milojo Productions.

The TLC deal has a 'reunion' element of sorts for the couple. TLC President, Angela Shapiro-Mathes, used to be their boss at ABC. Shapiro-Mathes was President of ABC Daytime when Kelly and Mark were on the ABC soap All My Children.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with TLC,” said Ripa and Consuelos in the press release announcing the deal. “The first thing you want in a relationship is for it to feel right, and this definitely feels right. And it’s great to be working with Angela Shapiro-Mathes again — she has been so instrumental in our careers.”

What kind of shows do you think they're gonna develop???

Probably some boring parenting crap!

    J LO REALITY SHOW ON TLC

    Enough of this pair already. 'Reality', ha, these two are so far removed from reality these days that Kelly felt it relevant to tell her 'Live' audience recently that Mark goes ahead to check out their holiday resort and report back if it will suit the family. Only then do they all go!!! Oh yeh, like the average Joe that they bend over themselves to say they represent. They are obsessed by the God of money, hell mend the tv companies that encourage the Ripa's!! to think they are capable of 'developing' programming for the masses and the folks who encourage the circus by watching!

    Too bad Mark cheats on her with teenage and 20-something year old girls all the time. What a sham marriage.

    Well its about time he got a job and stopped mooching of his wife. They both make me cringe, she's so damn skinny and weird and he's a looser that cheats on her. Doesent that remind you of good old Kathy Lee?

    The truth is that Mark and Kelly have a faux marriage and are both gay!!!!!!!! He has a gay lover and she has a lesbiana.
    They are never together and fake it all the way.
    The last kid amy be her galpal's kid. Is it Aaron herrock hard nanny galpal lover or sarah michelle gellar her live in galpal. while mark is back and forth to CA with his gay lover chicono style.

  40. sonya roberston says – reply to this

    You're 100% correct, they do have a "sham" marriage as they are both gay.
    Gay Gay GAy Gay Gay ……

  41. claire soto says – reply to this
    41

    They are both playing marriage and she has a mauscript for what to say and when to say it about her husband (fake) to make it sound relaistic.

    A reality show of sorts as they are both gay but play like they're married.
    As sarah michelle gellar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gay gay gay gay gay gay gay!

  42. luba castro says – reply to this
    42

    I liked Kelly in the beginning but now I see she is a big phoney with her audiece and lies thru both sides of her mouth!
    She plays the happy family when it all not that. She had one kid by Mark and then they relaized they were both gay. Another thru a sperm bank and carried another for her lesbian girl friend.
    She's in New York and He's in CA kissing his gay.

  43. mytwocents says – reply to this

    There is something about her face its always like perfect, perfect makeup no wrinkles perfect hair , lip gloss always on never faded …am i right?
    But she is a lollipop head def way too big for skkiiiinny body
    how can he listen to her? her voice is annoying it's like she pretends to sound that way cuz someone cant really sound like that , can they?

  44. Tina Jones says – reply to this

    She said today that they are doing a documentary on the high school wrestling team that hasnt lost once in over 50 years or some crazy figure……….. anyway and more inportantly, SHE ANNOYS THE EFF OUTTA ME!!! I ADORE REGIS BUTSHE SUDDENLY THINKS THAT REGIS AND KELLY IS ALL ABOUT KELLY!!! SHE NEEDS TO REALIZE THAT SHE CAN BE REPLACE BUT MY REGIS CANNOT BE!!!
    I HOPE SHE GOES AND STAYS AT THE HAMPTONS AND DOESNT COME BACK!!!

    AND HER DAUGHTER ACTS LIKE A LITTLE SPOILED BRAT.. I GUESS THE APPLE REALLY DOESNT FALL FAR FROM THE TREE

    Even though Priscilla Presley herself was a little rude on Regis and Kelly last week, I loved that she pointed out how Kelly does nothing but butt in during conversations. Kelly looked taken back by the abrupt comment…haha…there's her reality.

  46. Mel says – reply to this

    Kelly said on her show this morning that they produced a movie that is showing at the Tribeca film festival. Something about a wrestling team and how they had the longest running winning streak. I guess it was produced in association with ESPN and they are showing it

    Well, I don't really care what they are doing… but Kelly Ripa looks wonderful!! I gotta hate women who are so much older than I am and have better skin and less wrinkles. I wish I had millz to hire a perma-dermatologist and plastic surgeon and cosmetic dentist (not saying that she has had any surgeries)!!

    mark is the kind of latin I like. SMall dark and handsome. Butch, and a yet he's bottom, no doubt. She frightens me. And as far as "some parenting crap" goes, Perez, if your daddy hadn't waited on you hand and TV tray your whole childhood you might have grown up with some actual social skills.
    You are a barracuda, bitch.
    You are a barracuda, bitch.

    Is their marriage for real? I think Mark is one of the hottest things ever. Kelly needs to gain 10 lbs, dye her hair back to reddish brown and stop trying to ham it up like Kathie Lee.

    she kind of strikes me as a bitch- he's definitely whipped.

    I hate to admit it but I'd watch a reality show about them. They'd be more normal than our lovely NYC Housewives over on Bravo!!!

    Is this "unscripted" show going to be like JLo's new "unscripted" show? I know they're both going to suck. No "unscripted" show on TLC will ever beat that family of midgets shows where midget dad comes up with new scams to bring in money from the family farm.

    They both worked hard for what they have and they deserve it a whole lot more then those born into money and fame like paris and nicole. I'll be watching. btw, mark is fine as hell!!

    Re: Gia

    Kelly may have money but she is an UNEDUCATED attention whore. Her kids are horrible brats and probably future druggies.

    How Electrolux chose her for their commercial is beyond me. I hope lots of people email them and complain.

    I think she looks ill. If Mark is gay, she might have AIDS or Hepatitis C. I don't think I've ever seen anyone who looks more like a pumpkin that kelly ripa. Her face could not be oranger or ROUNDER.

    who can stand this witch with a capital B? She thinks she's above all us mere mortals thinking she's a GODDESS. Everyone hates her! YUCK. She needs less make-up, less hair bleach, less Tan maybe then you could actually see HER. and her name fits her… RIPA… she ripes into everyone who slights her in the teenest way… like Clay Aiken, Pressla Presley to name two. Both were correct in correcting this Witch.

    C'mon Perez. You know the minute you have a child, and something tells me you will one day, you will be all over those shows, pushing the latest $900 stroller, and setting up play dates with other show business babies. Parenting may seem boring now…but mark my words…something tells me this will change. Probably sooner than you might think….You know you want one of those chunkers for yourself! :-)

    She's such a high brow SNOB. She forgets that her hollywood peers didn't make her career, her fans did… and that is dwindling. He's her cute little pet troll, and she reminds me of a nasty, biting little chihuahua.

    1st of all I've seen them out in The Hamptons…He's maybe 5'2 and I'm being generous. The reason why you see them out there is because they LOVE to be seen!!! Esp. Him!!! He needs to seriously get a job!! He's a horrible actor…When you're the worst actor on her failed sitcom…you have a major problem.

    I AM SURE IT WILL BE SHOW ABOUT HOW TO EXERCISE OBSESSIVELY OR HOW TO DANCE IN A CHAIR OR HOW TO WALK LIKE A SUPERMODEL IN YOUR DREAMS OR HOW TO DO COMMERCIALS ABOUT COOKING WHEN YOU DON'T COOK. WHAT A TANOREXIC.
