In a new interview with AOL Television, the soap star-turned-host of ABC’s AM gabfest Live With Regis & Kelly has defended her decision to not get a boob job.

“You know what’s so funny? I used to always think, ‘I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it,’ and then I just started thinking, you know, someone’s got to represent the small girls,” Kelly said. “I mean, there are a lot of us out there … they’re not making all those small cup sizes just for me. Plus, I would think, why tamper with something? What if something went wrong?’”

The former All My Children actress and hubby of 13 years Mark Consuelos recently produced TLC’s Masters of Reception, a new reality series about wedding planning.

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have issued a cease-and-desist letter to the National Enquirer demanding “a full public retraction” of the tabloid’s front-page story, which claims that the lovable power couple have “split.”

Attorneys for Mark and Kelly claim the Enquirer printed the story despite “having been told beforehand it was a lie.”

According to the couple’s rep, Stan Rosenfield, “There is not a shred of truth” to the divorce report, as the Live hostess and her soap-starring hubby remain happily married and living with their family in New York City.

Kelly, 38, and Mark, 37, married in 1996 after meeting on the set of the daytime drama All My Children. They have three children: Michael, 11; Lola, 7; and Joaquin, 5.

Live hostess Kelly Ripa promoted the movie “Fly Me To The Moon” with an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman August 6th.

Live hosts Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa will appear on the September 25 premiere of Ugly Betty, Ugly star America Ferrera announced on Monday morning’s edition of Live with Regis & Kelly.

Kelly’s soap starring husband, Mark Consuelos, will also make an appearance on the telenovela-inspired dramedy this season.

More than 500 participants from thirty-five states, male and female, have descended on New York’s Central Park for Kelly Ripa’s 1st Annual High Heel-A-Thon, a charity race to benefit the March of Dimes. The winner of the 150-yard high-heeled trek wins $25,000.

The 5-foot-3-inch Live with Regis & Kelly hostess told AP Radio that she wears high heels for one reason: “Because I’m short.”

“Women never wear heels for men. We wear heels for other women,” Kelly explains. “It’s not about you guys.”

Out with Reg, in with Ry. Television/radio personality Ryan Seacrest has been tapped to replace showbiz vet Regis Philbin as co-host of the seventy-six year old’s beloved morning chatfest Live with Regis & Kelly. As Regis approaches his twentieth anniversary on the show, producers of the television staple are prepared to offer Seacrest big bucks to join Kelly Ripa on Live.

“Ryan would be the perfect successor to Regis. He’s subbed several times for Larry King on his CNN talk show, he has his own syndicated morning radio gig, hosts the biggest show on TV, and does special events and red carpet coverage for E! Entertainment Network.”

“The whole focus now is on Ryan to take over,” a show source reveals to the Globe. “They’ll have to think really big bucks to get him to sign on the dotted line.”

And even Live co-host Kelly Ripa seems to be on board….just as long as there’s something in it for her:

“Kelly knows Ryan-he’s subbed for Regis in the past and she’s co-hosted the Disney Christmas Day Parade for ABC with him. She likes him personally…but if they end up making him a sweetheart deal, she’s going to want hers, too! Kelly’s going to be on the warpath.”
