Kelly Ripa Ponders The Idea of Law School on ‘Live' After Mark Consuelos Tells Her She 'Should' Go: 'Do I Want To Be The World's Oldest Law Student?'
After Mark Consuelos debriefed Kelly Ripa and Wednesday's Live with Kelly and Mark on his night attending Good Night, and Good Luck on Broadway, Ripa told her husband and co-host that she's 'glad [he] had fun last night.'
'I had fun without you,' she teased.
Consuelos replied, 'Oh, I'm sure. Let me guess, the Karen Read trial, retrial of the retrial of the coverage.'
After Ripa told Consuelos he was 'correct,' Consuelos asked whether she 'glean[ed]' anything from tuning in the night before.
'Nothing new,' Ripa shared. 'I just literally watched court TV all night.'
Consuelos asked, 'What are you going to do when the trial is over in a couple weeks?'
Ripa said, 'I'm going to roll into whatever the next trial is that they're going to serve me.'
However, Consuelos then gave Ripa some food for thought, proposing that she 'should go to law school.'
Ripa explained, 'You know what I said to myself? I really did miss my calling as a judge, jury, and attorney.'
Consuelos joked, 'And I would say executioner, as well.'
While Ripa quipped that she is 'both prosecution and defense simultaneously,' Consuelos doubled down on his earlier proposal.
'Maybe that's what you should do,' he said. 'You should get your law degree.'
Ripa asked, 'You think?'
Consuelos and a member of the audience insisted that 'it's not too late,' but Ripa still had some other preoccupations.
'Do I want to be the world's oldest law student? I don't know,' she added.
Although Consuelos assured her that she 'wouldn't be,' Ripa continued, 'And once I fail the Bar Exam, you know, the tabloids in New York would pick it up.'
Consuelos replied, 'You won't fail it. I know you. You're whip-smart.'
Ripa concluded on a more optimistic note, letting out a breath and telling viewers, 'We'll see.'
'Never say never. Although I say never all the time,' she teased.

Where is Kelly Ripa? What we know about her 'Live with Kelly and Mark' absence
Mark Consuelos is leading "Live with Kelly and Mark" without his other half, Kelly Ripa. Instead, the 54-year-old actor and morning show host is joined by a rotating cast of stand-ins while his wife of nearly three decades is on summer vacation. Ripa will return Monday, Aug. 11, reviving the husband-and-wife format that has dominated the show since 2023, when her one-time soap opera co-star stepped up to replace a departing Ryan Seacrest. Ripa and Consuelos have been life partners long before they were a dynamic duo on morning television. The couple were married in 1996 and have three children: Michael, 28, Lola, 24, and Joaquin, 22. 'Live with Kelly and Mark' guest cohosts "The Rookie" star Jenna Dewan, singer Rita Ora and "Nobody Wants This" actress Jackie Tohn have filled in for Ripa during her weeklong absence. Dewan, who appeared on the show Aug. 5, gushed about her guest stint on the ABC program with several clips on her Instagram stories. "This is the most fun day for me. I get to come and do this great, fun job and see all you guys," said Dewan in one video, seemingly addressing the studio audience. Where was Mark Consuelos last week? Consuelos took his turn out of the chair last week, leaving Ripa to hold down the fort from July 29 through Aug. 1. Ripa told audiences that Consuelos was working on a show in Los Angeles, and would be replaced by a rotating cast of hosts in the meantime. While he was out, Ripa was joined by "Sliders" actor Jerry O'Connell, reality-TV veteran Carson Kressley, radio host Steve Patterson and "World News Tonight" anchor David Muir.

George Clooney Addresses Claim From Critics He Only Plays Himself In His Movies
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. After making headlines earlier this year for his Tony-nominated performance as Edward R. Murrow in the Broadway production of Good Night, and Good Luck, George Clooney is set to contribute to the 2025 movies schedule as the titular lead of Noah Baumbach's Jay Kelly. This feature, which co-stars Adam Sandler and Laura Dern, premieres at the Venice Film Festival on August 28, and the public will be able to watch it for themselves by November. In the meantime, Clooney has addressed the claims that he only plays himself in his movies. This criticism was brought up while the actor was speaking to Vanity Fair as part of a first look at Jay Kelly. After praising Sandler, whom he told to the movie's cast shouldn't be looked at 'like he's just some goofy comedian. He's actually a really beautiful, wonderful actor,' Clooney had this to say about his own performances being scrutinized: Do people say that I only play myself? I don't give a shit. There aren't that many guys in my age group that are allowed to do both broad comedies like O Brother [Where Art Thou?] and then do Michael Clayton or Syriana. So if that means I'm playing myself all the time, I don't give a shit. Whether you agree with this particular criticism about George Clooney's performances or not, he doesn't care either way. Those three movies mentioned certainly rank as some of Clooney's best movies, and he's content with the variety of projects he's been able to do over his acting career. Then, after throwing in a quote from Jay Kelly that was applicable to the conversation ('Have you ever tried playing yourself? It's hard to do.'), Clooney continued: I've been the beneficiary of having my career not be massively successful in lots of different directions. I didn't really get successful, in the kind of success that can be blinding, until I was 33 years old. I'd been working for 12 years at that point. I had a real understanding of how fleeting all of it is and how little it has to do with you, quite honestly.

It wasn't longer from there when he hit Hollywood star status with cinematic offerings like the aforementioned O Brother Where Art Thou?, The Perfect Storm and Ocean's Eleven. Batman & Robin, on the other hand, should not be counted on that list. The point being, George Clooney's content with how his acting career has turned out, so he doesn't particularly care if there's a perceived lack of versatility in his performances by some people. He's clearly done quite well for himself, with his other accolades including two Academy Award wins and six other nominations, and four Golden Globe wins and nine other nominations. Just don't expect Clooney to appear in anymore romantic films, as he's officially done with that genre. Jay Kelly will be available for those with a Netflix subscription to watch starting on November 14. You're also welcome to break out your Apple TV+ subscription to stream George Clooney's last movie, 2024's Wolfs, which co-starred Brad Pitt and, unfortunately, is not getting a sequel after all.

Kylie Kelce explains the ‘kitchen phone' rule her 4 daughters will follow
In today's world, cell phones have become a major focal point in many of our lives. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, there is 'no single perfect age to get a phone,' adding that 'giving your child their first smartphone is a decision that requires some planning and conversation.' 'Smartphones provide access to greater independence and communication with friends, but also to a wide range of apps and websites that aren't intended for children and teens,' the American Academy of Pediatrics notes, leaving parents with a heavy burden on their shoulders. While one survey recommends children between 12 to 13 years old receive their first phone, in a conversation with Kelly Ripa, Kylie Kelce shared the rule her four daughters will follow as they begin to gain their independence. During the July 31 episode of her 'Not Gonna Lie' podcast, Kelce explained that her household will have one or two 'kitchen phones.' 'I actually believe that we will be doing what I'm calling the 'kitchen phone,'' Kelce explained to Ripa. 'In other words, there will be one or two extra cell phones, besides mom and dad's cell phones that they can take with them if they have somewhere they're going, where there will not be a parent, or if they will need to get a hold of us, or if they're at something sports related,' Kelce continued. However, if their kids aren't off on their own, Kelce says the cell phones are then only used on 'the first floor of the house.' Kelce said her daughters will still be allowed to share phone numbers with their friends and communicate with them via the communal cell phones but they can only use the phones on the first floor of the house and when they are not in use, 'they live in the kitchen.' 'So they're not gonna go upstairs, they're not going to the basement. They're going nowhere but the first floor communal living space,' Kelce shared, as Ripa approved of the approach. The American Academy of Pediatrics also suggests that 'if you don't think your child is ready for a smartphone, but do want them to be able to communicate with you and their friends, see if your phone carrier has a flip phone model that allows call and texts only.' And if you do decide to allow your child to have a smartphone that it is important to set rules and expectations regarding the cell phone, while also reminding kids that a smartphone 'does not equal getting social media.'
