"Perfect" is the word that comes to mind when this effervescent blonde is mentioned. With all-American good looks, a gorgeous husband, two long-term TV gigs and three children, Ripa is the reigning princess of multitasking. After briefly appearing as a dancer on Dance Party USA, she joined the cast of the daytime soap All My Children at age 20. Toward the end of her 12-year run on the show — during which she eloped with her on-screen love interest, Mark Consuelos — Ripa became the cohost of the morning talk show Live with Regis & Kelly in 2001. Two years later she landed her own prime-time sitcom, Hope & Faith, playing (what else?) a washed-up soap star.
