TV Kelly Ripa Is Heading to ‘Riverdale’ as Mark Consuelos’ Mistress: ‘It’s a Family Affair’


“It’s a family affair,” the 48-year-old morning talk show host captioned a sultry picture of herself on Instagram that shows her lounging in a large brown chair wearing a skintight black minidress.



“Hiram’s mistress,” she added, making a nod to Consuelos’ character, Hiram Lodge, on the show. “23 years of auditioning for a role i was born to play. Coming soon to the @thecwriverdale.”

Consuelos, 47, was quick to share his excitement, commenting, “Yes please.”

The CW confirmed Ripa’s role in a statement to Us Weekly on Tuesday.

“Kelly Ripa will guest star on Riverdale as MRS. MULWRAY: Confident and tough, she is Hiram Lodge’s alleged mistress,” the statement read. “She’s a beautiful, icy, femme fatale who gets caught up in a conspiracy that’s much bigger than she initially realized.”

The former Pitch actor — who wed Ripa in 1996 after the two met on the set of All My Children the previous year — opened up to Us in July about his dream of having his wife star alongside him on the drama series.

“Wouldn’t it be great? She could play a nice little saucy character,” Consuelos told Us at a San Diego Comic-Con event. “Hiram’s mistress or something like that?”

While fans of the family — and the show — wait to see Ripa take on the steamy role, they can tune into watch the couple’s 21-year-old son on the latest episode of Riverdale, which is set to air on Tuesday night.

Ripa and Consuelos even surprised their eldest child on set of the show in August in a hilarious set of Instagram Stories at the time, in which the Alpha House actor declared it “take your parents to work day.”

Riverdale airs on the CW Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Stevie Wonder, his Musicality, and his Humanity.

#Humanity #Music #SongsintheKeyofLife #StevieWonder " Songs in the Key of Life " To say this Album means Everything to me is an understatement. Throughout his conceptual album, Stevie both sings and writes of Peace, Love, Identity, Faith, Environmental Consciousness, and Cultural Awareness , to name a few. When the album was released, I was ten years old. I spent countless hours reading the liner notes—the lyrics for all the songs. I wanted to know all the people who wrote, sang, played on the album. Much of the album's depth was far too over my head as a ten-year-old, and only a few years later (Lol) do I have a little more understanding of what he was giving us. I've seen Stevie Wonder three times in my life. The first was in church, not long after moving to Los Angeles. The second time while attending Oprah's Farwell show (thanks to my brother Corey & sister in law Carrie), the third time was when my sister Sharon (R.I.P.) bought tickets for all of us ...

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
