Kelly Ripa Talks On Her New Memoir ‘Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories’
Talk show host and All My Children alum, Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley) is opening up about her life and times in her highly-anticipated memoir available now, Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories.
Ripa chatted exclusively with PEOPLE who got some of intel and dish on what’s included in the book.
Kelly told PEOPLE, when she landed the gig as the new co-host of Live with Regis and Kelly, with the late Regis Philbin back in 2001, she felt like she was “getting shot out of a cannon.” Ripa was also appearing on All My Children at the same time.
She tells the story of when her agent called with the offer, Ripa was told: “They want you to know who your boss is. It was very ominous, and it did not feel good.” Her agent also said the show didn’t want her, “bringing an entourage.” She brought two people. “I came with hair and makeup,” Kelly says. “It was not an unusual thing for people on a television show to show up with.”
She added that Regis greeted her with executive producer, Michael Gelman, saying: “Uh-oh, Gelman, it’s got an entourage.” It?! Kelly expressed that she “felt horrible. He was probably trying to be funny, but at the same time it felt like a pile-on.”
As for Philbin’s attitude at the time, Kelly shared, “I understand that probably he didn’t want a co-host, but the network wanted me to be the co-host and I didn’t think I should pass up that opportunity. I don’t think it was fair to him. But it was also not fair to me.”

The actress-talk show host-producer also talked on her marriage to Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo), whom she met while both were on All My Children, sharing that they were, “too young to get married! On paper it should not have worked and when it didn’t work, we really worked at it. We fought for our marriage when it would have been easier to quit and throw in the towel.”
According to the book publisher, HarperCollins: “In ‘Live Wire’, her first book, Kelly shows what really makes her tick. Whether recounting how she and Mark (Consuelos) really met, the level of chauvinism she experienced on set, how Jersey Pride follows her wherever she goes, and many, many moments of utter mortification (whence she proves that you cannot, in fact, die of embarrassment) Kelly always tells it like it is. Ms. Ripa takes no prisoners.”
So, will you be ordering your copy of Kelly’s memoir? Let us know in the comment section below.

Eva LaRue’s Stalker Sentenced to 40 Months in Prison
In a harrowing situation spanning 12 years, a man who threatened former All My Children, Santa Barbara, and Y&R favorite, Eva LaRue (ex-Maria, ex- Margot, ex-Celeste) and her daughter, Kaya was sentenced to 40 months in prison.
James David Rogers, 58, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge John A. Kronstadt for over a decade of threatening letters and phone calls about torture, rape and death to LaRue and her daughter.
Rogers had pleaded guilty in April to two counts of mailing threatening communications, one count of threats by interstate communications and two counts of stalking. According to court documents, all of this began in March 2007 until Rogers eventually was arrested in November 2019. At the beginning of his stalking spree, LaRue’s daughter, Kaya was only five-years-old.
According to Deadline, Eva gave a “tearful victim impact statement, telling the judge in L.A. federal court that she has undergone therapy since the harassment began in order to deal with feelings of fear and paranoia.” She added, “We didn’t know if he would show up on our doorstep. We will think about him for a lifetime. The fear is with me forever.”

The judge has ordered Rogers to self surrender on October 12th to begin his sentence at a federal prison in Ohio.
Eva won a Daytime Emmy back in 2020 for her guest star turn on The Young and the Restless, and is best-known to primetime viewers for her role in CSI: Miami.

Where is GREG VAUGHN!?
I guess since he’s not airing yet, he wasn’t “eligible.” But I’m gonna say it’s a safe bet, priest or not, that he’ll be on next year’s list.
Should have looked at the article first. Plenty of former and/or future soap star picks (Alicia Mishew, Nadia Bjorlin)…so clearly the pickers are either blind or too young to remember Greg on GH and Y&R!
Agreed. Greg Vaugn is hot, hot, hot!
I would pick Christel Khalil and for my guy either Trevor St. John or Brandon Barash.
I also agree with that!!!!!!!
Drake Hogestyn and Deidre Hall
Sure!! Maybe in 1985 and 1978, respectively!
As Susan would say on DAYS: you are MEAN MEAN MEAN!
I, for one, think they are still hot and sexy. It is not a matter of age, it is a matter of sex-appeal and charisma. And Drake & Deidre still have it!
Steve Burton and Kelly Monaco of course
I agree with that one .
I also agree – Steve Burton and Kelly Monaco. If I could pick two guys, I would also add Dominic Zamprogna for sure!!!! Clearly, I am an ABC Soaps fan, but I truly believe the three I named above are the sexiest soap stars across the networks, although Nadia Bjorlin is also a very stunning woman as well !!!!
Dominic Zamprogna– ROWR!
Michael Easton & Melissa Archer
Ditto….I cannot believe Michael Easton is not on that list obviously they didn’t take into account that sexy voice.
Those two are very hot!
YES, YES, YES-they were wonderful
No one sexier than Dominic Zamprogna and Julie Marie Berman.
DAYS of our lives .
Peter reckell &Kristen Alfonso .
YES!
Maurice Bernard &VANESSA MARCIL
From General Hospital
agree 100%
James Scott & Alison Sweeney … EJami are hot steamy sexy!!
Daniel Goddard. And in the over 50 category…did you see Colin and Jill? Tristan Rogers’ still got it!
Agree with youon Colin & Jill. Tristan is still TO DIE FOR.
Maurice Benard of course…..
yea tea maurice is the sexy of all sexy add those dimples wow!!!!
he just gets better with age
DAYS- got the men right, except add Freddie Smith. Also, where’s Arianne Zucker?
David Gregory !!!
Smokin hot!
Jacqueline MacInnes Wood/SteffyForrester and Texas Battle/Marcus F
?
Where is Arianne Zucker?? She and James Scott together are Hot HOt HOT!!
I can’t believe a Sexy Soap Star list without Ari Zucker!! What were they thinking? Ari and James together are so hot!
YES!!
Days: UM, Peter Reckell??? Hottest man always!! Kristian Alfonso is gorgeous and I’d agree with Blake Berris – that kid is a hottie. I like to look at Galen Gering’s face and James Scott of course.
GH: Kelly Monaco is stunning and for the men, I think Michael Easton has a beautiful face!
Yea, iIf you’re into the “beef-cakey, Brazillian waxed, fake tanned” type, maybe…the sexiest men on Daytime (to me) are; Matthew Ashford, Drake Hogestyn (Days) and Stephan Nichols (Y&R). End of story.
This is not the senior citizen, over 50 list just to remind you.
I just checked…yep, I wasn’t mistaken, it’s a list of “Sexiest Soap stars”… I believe you’re probably confused with the “Most Pussified Men in Daytime that we’re supposed to pretend are Sexy” list.
OMG! How old are you? 12?
This might come as shock to you but people over 50 are still hot and sexy,
are still falling in love and YES they still have sex.
GET OVER IT & GROW UP!
Male: Steve Burton
Female: Nadia Bjorlin
No question- Dominic Zamprogna !!! That man is Hot, hot, hot!!
yes, and jason thompson as well
heck GH has all the hunks, best looking men on tv soap
Galen Gering is THE sexiest man alive. Period!
James Scott is my favorite.
Steve Burton was may more sexier than anyone listed,we hate to see him go !!!! But if he is going to be replaced my vote is for Zack Slater from AMC !!! He plays the same type of role (or played one) !!!
Favorite Sexy Couple
ONE LIFE TO LIVE
Trevor St John and Florencia Lozano(Todd/Victor and Tea)
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
I co-sign this 100%. No other soap pairing comes close! They are the best, I’m still waiting for my TNT reunion on GH.
Where is Michelle Stafford?! The woman oozes sex appeal.
And what about Billy Miller? I would pick him over Daniel Goddard only because his CHARACTER is a lot sexier than boring old Cane.
Blake Berris? I don’t think so. I’d replace him with Freddie Smith.
Freddie Smith is very cute, but for some reason I’ve always been attracted to Blake Berris’ nerdy cuteness. I have a soft spot for nerds. I like smart guys and bad boys. Luckily I outgrew my affinitey for bad boys in real life long ago.
I agree with both of you.
Where is Ari Zucker? Her and James are smoking together.
EJole need to reunite ASAP!
Almost an embarrassment of riches! Too many to choose from. Non-soap watchers have NO IDEA what they are missing! My personal picks:
Male: Roger Howarth or Trevor St. John
Female: Bree Wlliamson or Melissa Archer
But, the list goes on, & on of beautiful, sexy, talented soap stars. I’ve always thought Nadia Bjorlin & Galen Gehring are too beautiful to be human. Lol.
Girl please, Alison Sweeney is the Anti Sexy. She is not hot no way no how. I’d pick Nadia Bjorlin, Ari Zucker, Eileen Davidson, and Kristian Alfonso over her any day. As for the men I’ve always been partial to Bryan Dattilo, the man is damn sexy. Galen, Eric, and Peter are all super sexy too.
As for GH, I vote for Dominic Zamprogna, Julie Marie Berman, and Kelly Monaco.
the usual from hollywood. brainwashing the public again to define physical attractiveness standards as being white bec majority of these actors are white. the progressive limo liberals of hollywood left love to trash america’s strength and influence around the planet and its colonialist past. yet colonialism is alive bec of hollywood. this colonial mentality of beauty being defined as white is being force fed by hollywood to its foreign consumers bec hollywood’s racist. they do not want to give acting opportunities to racial minorities. it’s hilarious how they scream abt diversity and tolerance when they’re the most intolerant to racial… Read more »
Women: Eileen Davidson, Sharon Case, Michelle Stafford, Chrishell Staus, Florencia Lozano, Alison Sweeney, Heather Tom, Rebecca Herbst, Ari Zucker
Men: Greg Vaughan, Eric Martsolf, Chad Duell, Brandon Barash, Josh Morrow, Billy Miller, Blake Berris, Blake Hood, Casey Deidrick, John Brotherton
Etc etc etc 🙂
I’d have to go with James Scott, with Chandler Massey a close second, but where were Freddie Smith and Chad Duell?
Stephen Nichols (Tucker, YR) and Bryan Datillo (Lucas, DOOL) should have been at the top of the hot soap man list! I have never seen a hotter man on soaps than Stephen Nichols! Bryan Datillo comes close. I’m glad Steve Burton (Jason, GH) made their list.
I agree with most of the women, but…
Most of the men would never make it to MY list!
There were so many hotter men to choose from!
Ummm… hello TV Guide? Where in the hell is MARCO DAPPER on this list?!! They have to be completely insane for that omission! Dapper is the hottest guy in soaps and needs to be in a great storyline!
Good point, kalamaty. Talk about an oversight!
Who is Marco Dapper?
Marco Dapper plays the role of Carmine Basco on Y&R.
I would, for once, just like to see Jacqueline MacInnes Wood without all the caked on makeup. While she is beautiful, we can never really see the natural beauty or the beauty that lies within LESS makeup like Kim Matula or Linsey Godfrey. I don’t agree with the Y&R omissions of Michelle Stafford, Billy Miller, Tracy E. Bregman. Heck, even Jennifer Landon. Christian LeBlanc is sexy too. So is Elizabeth Hendrickson. Since Melody Thomas Scott lost 50 pounds she has looked more amazing than ever! As for GH, what about Laura Wright? Finola Hughes? Tristan Rogers? Kassie DePaiva is older,… Read more »
Kelly Monaco and Steve Burton. Always!!
Chandler Massey is at the top of the list MO. Renee Jones should be here. She’s in her 50s, but looks like she’s thirty!
Renee left the soap a while ago.
Who is Angell?
James is a great choice!
Only ONE guy from B&B??? Yes, it’s a small cast but you’ve got Thomas, Liam, Rick, Texas, Thorne.
i have to say maurice bendard and steve burton are 100% sexy period
what ever they have men wish they could bottle and sell it and even purchase it if
possible.
i have been watching GH 21 yrs or longer because of these 2 and they need
to bring steve burton back asap
he is already missed daily
Agreed! He is soooo missed! Anyways, I’m a happy camper- Steve Burton and Kelly Monaco made the list 🙂
Robert Newman – ex-Josh, GL – his eyes, mustache, dimples! on Fire! Crystal Chappell – ex-Olivia, GL – all the time, pure Sexy! Trevor St. John – ex-Todd/Victor, OLTL – Smoldering, au naturale. Florencia Lozano – ex-Tea, OLTL – Period. She’s a Fantasy. Eileen Davidson – Kristen, Days – her presence is magnetic. EJ – Rafe – Brady – Eric – John – Bo – Will – Sonny – Chad – Justin – Nick – Daniel – DrOOL Ingo Rademacher – ex-Jax, GH – Tall, Tanned, Handsome – Those EYES…. ???? !!!!! Kin Shriner – ex-Scotty Baldwin, GH. #1 Laura… Read more »
Steve Burton and Laura Wright. Love their acting, their characters, they are gorgeous and best of all they are beautiful inside, while being sexy, interesting and good family people that you would love to know and spend time with.
agree with you
Without a doubt it’s Kim Matula who plays Hope on B&B. There are a few other cool people on the list, but it’s pretty ho-hum overall.
You are so right! That list is a little inflated too with people who aren’t even on a soap or right now. Weird.
I voted for Kim as well. Hope is beautiful and the best character on B&B right now. Why is she being cheated out of screen time anyway? Liam & Steffy are a complete dud! The show couldn’t be more boring right now.
BELL STOP FORCING STEAM DOWN OUT THROATS!
I think it is her easygoing, authentic personality that makes Kim so appealing. JMW just tries too hard to “build her brand” and it comes off as fake. Oh how I miss the sweet love story of Hope and Liam, and the chemistry between KM and SC. Liam and Steffy are a mismatch, the chemistry is forced. They are impossible to watch, and are ruining the other storylines for me.
AMC Thorsten Kaye and …
OLTL Mellssa Archer and Michael Easton, Robin Strasser and Tuc Watkins (the oven mits people),Trevor St John and Florencia,
GH Olivia and Johnny, Max and Diane (sorry can’t remember their real names right now)
Michael Easton! Most defintely for me!!!!
Nadia Bjorlin hands down
JAMES SCOTT!
SEXY
James Scott- So gorgeous and sexy
