I am hearing Kelly Ripa wants 25 to 30 million a year, executive producer credit and many other perks or she will walk. I read in In Touch she screams about her wardrobe budget and she makes ABC pay for a limo to drop off the kids. What happened to the sweet girl from the soaps?

First In Touch is a gossip rag.

Second who gives a !@#$%^&*] what Kelly wants. She helped give the live Brand another 15 years when she joined so I have no issues if she wants more salary or producer cedit. Good for her

 

Third, why do u seem to be taking this rumored [!@#$%^&*] so personal???

Careful, "Jonny."  The folks are starting to catch onto you.  ;)

 

You could tell how much Kelly HATED Michael's laugh toward the end of the clip.  It was all she could do just to sip her morning whatever.

I think she's acting like a sour grapes little diva and being unprofessional. Michael is leaving get over it u make 20 million a year. I just think she is a major bitchy diva and it's sad to me I used to really like her. I read in an article she makes ABC pay for a limo to escort her kids to school, she screams about her wardrobe budget. She even stated on air she bought her daughter Lola who is almost 15 a 2500 purse. Money is really is evil is what I say it changes someone. What happened to the sweet Kelly from the soaps?

Money is not evil.  The love of it is, though.

 

And Kelly was never sweet.  Anyone who remembers the backstage stories about her, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Eva La Rue, Sydney Penny and their "mean girls" clique at AMC knows what I'm talking about.

When she was on AMC and before her time on Live I thought she wasn't but on Live it seemed like she soften up a bit but I guess I was wrong. And what's these stories about these mean girls? I am intrigued…LOL

Gracias…thanks!:D

I don't have specific details, but...

 

When SMG, ELR, SP and KR were working at AMC, they rubbed several of the show's old guard the wrong way with their collective sense of self-entitlement.  They were all young, and cute, and receiving a lot of airtime and publicity, so in their eyes, I guess, they saw themselves as indispensible -- a notion that neither the producers nor the network disabused them of.  I can't remember which actor or actress said it, but someone remarked in an interview how the ladies' unofficial clique was real and that that was one reason why working on AMC was not altogether pleasant for them.  (Compare that to Jane Eliot's recent comment that AMC backstage was the most familial environment she'd ever worked in -- but that was years before, when many of the show's most familiar actors from the '70's and '80's were still around.)  Of course, years later, SP acknowledged the clique and apologized for her behavior.  I'm not sure WHERE she said that -- it was from an interview she had given that was quoted either on this board or on another -- but I found it interesting that she would offer a mea culpa in light of the fact that Ripa, Gellar and even La Rue found success after leaving AMC while Penny's career faded by comparison.

You know, I think you're right, Carl?  The more I think about it, the more I think it WAS Teresa Blake who said she couldn't stand working with them.  Of course, I'm not surprised Blake didn't like them.  God knows I wasn't a TB fan, but even I knew she was a much better actress than SMG, ELR or KR.  (SP was probably the only one in the clique with acting chops -- and I say that as someone who isn't a fan of hers either.)

I knew Sarah Michelle has always been bitchy her fights with Lucci were always crazy. Everyone said Ripa was a sweetheart on AMC fun and bubbly and cute. She got on Angela Shapiro good side. In fact when she hosted it with Regis years she was that Kelly. I have noticed though since Regis left every year she is constantly more full of herself. She is a diva and it's because of how rich she is getting it. It's sad money changes people
