Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos reveal the NSFW dress code they've adopted ever since their kids moved out
and Mark Consuelos ' home has become a clothing-optional space ever since their children moved out. The parents of three revealed their life has become a 'freak show' following the departure of their youngest child as they offered words of comfort to actress Amanda Peet, whose eldest is now moving out for school. While Amanda, 53, began getting emotional at the thought of her child leaving, Kelly, 54, and Mark, 54, assured her there is a NSFW light at the end of the tunnel. 'The first one is like a bit of a shock,' Kelly explained on Monday's episode of Live with Kelly and Mark. 'Each one, the second one it's like no big deal, third one for 24 to 48 hours, you're gonna be like, "Oh my gosh, what have we done? Now it's just us." And then your entire life becomes nudity in the household wherever you want them.' 'It's a freak show,' Mark said. 'Total freak show', Kelly concurred. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Kelly and Mark have three children together and their youngest, Joaquin Consuelos, 22, graduated from the University of Michigan this year. The couple also have son Michael Consuelos, 27, who graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts in 2020, and daughter Lola Consuelos, 23, who is also a NYU graduate. Kelly and Mark previously revealed how difficult the adjustment was. 'We became empty nesters. We took our youngest son to college, we dropped him off,' Kelly said on a 2021 episode of her talk show. 'It was hard. It was really hard.' In a joint 2023 interview with People, Mark compared the feeling to 'a loss.' 'It was deep,' he said. 'It was like a loss.' 'When Joaquin left [for the University of Michigan], it was hard, the two of us and the dogs staring at each other, like "Well, now what?"' Kelly said. 'The first dinner I cooked, I'm not kidding, was for 12 people, and it was just the two of us. We sat there with this inordinate amount of food, neither one of us hungry at all,' she said. Kelly initially worried they wouldn't have enough to talk about. The couple dished on their newfound preference for nudity on Monday's episode of Live with Kelly and Mark 'We're empty nesters, oh no, what are we going to discuss?!' Kelly said of her initial thoughts. But the pain quickly faded: 'The first 48 hours we were leaning into the despair and then we really leaned into the positive side,' she added. 'We got over it!' As fans of the couple will know, the duo have never been shy about candidly discussing their sex life and the unique places they have gotten it on at. In September 2022, Kelly confessed on Watch What Happens Live that she and Mark have been intimate with each other in Andy Cohen's Fire Island rental home. 'That was a day trip!' Andy said in shock at the revelation. 'It was a rental!' Kelly insisted. 'I figured I wasn't desecrating anything that you own,' she added, leaving viewers jaw-dropped. In addition to Cohen's rental, Kelly admitted she and her beau had also had sex on boat, in a public bathroom and even on the set of All My Children. In 2020, the TV personality previously told Cohen that she had Mark had such a healthy sex life because they 'found each other at the right time in our lives.' She added that both her and Mark believe that 'experimentation is fun.'

Your Friends and Neighbours star Amanda Peet faked being waitress to land job at Italian restaurant
Amanda Peet once faked being a waitress to get a job in an Italian restaurant. The 53-year-old actress "made up" a name for a restaurant in San Francisco and put her then-boyfriend's phone number "as the reference" to land the job, but the 'Your Friends and Neighbors' star soon got fired after she warmed bread in the pizza oven. Amanda told PEOPLE magazine: "I had never waitressed, so I put that I had and then made up a restaurant that was in San Francisco, even though I was from New York, and then gave my boyfriend's number as the reference. "Then, on my first day, it was like an Italian restaurant where they had a pizza oven. "A lovely couple whose table I was assigned to asked me if I could warm the bread, which was in a bread basket. I put the whole thing in the pizza oven. "I didn't start a fire, but the dude was like, 'You're fired, you dumb, actress type.'" Amanda plays Mel Cooper - a therapist who has separated from her former former hedge fund manager husband, Andrew 'Coop' Cooper (Jon Hamm), after it was revealed he had been having a fling with his best pal and NBA player, Nick Brandes (Mark Tallman) - in the Apple TV+ thriller series, 'Your Friends and Neighbours'. The show sees Amanda's alter ego take part in steamy sex scenes with Coop and Nick, but Amanda is not fazed by the intimate performances. The 'Something's Gotta Give' actress explained: "Dude, I've been doing this for so long, I'm just like, 'Show me where to be. Show me who to kiss. Who do I have to make out with today?' "Whenever I see Lizzy [Talbot], the intimacy coordinator, I'm like, 'Wait, I have a sex scene?' And she's like, 'No, dear. It's somebody else.' It's so funny when I see her, I'm like, 'Oh my God, I forgot I have a sex scene.' " As well as Amanda, 44-year-old actress Olivia Munn, who plays Samantha 'Sam' Levitt in the show, also had to do intimate scenes with Jon, 54. Their characters had a secret fling while he was navigating his divorce from Mel, and Olivia was so nervous about pushing her teeth into the Hollywood legend's skin when filming the intimate scene. The 'X-Men: Apocalypse' star told the same outlet: "My character had to bite him, and I was nervous, but he just kept saying, 'It's okay. You can bite really hard.' "And then I did. And he's a pretty tough guy. He's a very tough guy."

Seinfeld guest star reveals why it was so 'rough' working on the hit show as she cringes
Amanda Peet has opened up about her guest appearance in Seinfeld back in the show's heyday. The actress, 57, appeared in an episode as a waitress dating the character Jerry Seinfeld in 1997. The guest slot came up during a game of 'Spill the IMDb Tea' on a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, where she was promoting her current show, Your Friends and Neighbors. 'You played a waitress that went out with Jerry,' Cohen began, 'How did the episode turn out?' 'Yeah I know,' the Film Independent Spirit Award winner replied, cringing for a moment and then asking if she should rate the episode or the experience. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'That was a rough one for me,' she said of the experience of performing in front of a live studio audience. 'I had a lot of stage fright. I'm going to give it like a five. I was really scared,' the now veteran actress said with a laugh. She had difficulty rating her experience on 2001's Saving Silverman with Jason Biggs and Jack Black. Peet resorted to a high pitched sound for her answer regarding the romantic comedy about friends trying to keep their friend from marrying the wrong woman, but gave it a seven after being coached by Cohen. Regarding her time filming The Whole Nine Yard with Bruce Willis and the late Matthew Perry, Peet quickly answered 'that's a 10.' Co-guest Elizabeth Banks, 51, had her own 'scary' story. It took place while she was working on 2007's Fred Claus with Vince Vaughn and Paul Giamatti. 'Loved living in London, 'she said, adding, 'I met a ghost, so I'm gonna say 4.85.' Elsewhere in the episode she described more about her encounter with the spirit at the famous Pinewood Studios when she was alone. 'She grabbed me and everything!' she said of the spooky encounter. 'I had to be like, "I see you, I get it. You don't want me to sit in this bed. I will not do it anymore!"' she said, 'And I never went in that corner of the room ever again,' the Emmy nominee maintained.

Jon Hamm's new Apple TV+ series packs style, humour and soul
Opposite Hamm, Amanda Peet is equally fantastic as Mel, Cooper's ex-wife who, though not blameless in the divorce, is grieving in her own way. Supporting actors Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee and Mark Tallman are also quite the scene-stealers. As of this writing, six episodes have aired on Apple TV+, with three more on the way this season. A second season has been confirmed, with James Marsden joining the cast among others. Though it dresses like a heist drama, Your Friends & Neighbors is really an introspective look at privilege, regret and redemption. Come for the glossy peek into ultra-wealthy lives, and, if you're a watch enthusiast, some special cameos; stay for the emotional depth that quietly sneaks up on you.
