Marie Osmond

She is the co-founder of Children's Miracle Network with actor John Schneider. The genie opened a magic window onto Ripa's Live with Regis and Kelly dressing room, showing Ripa ripping off her human face to show an ugly alien face, then going to a tied-up human, removing his heart and eating it. Currently, Marie hosts her own radio show, Marie and Friends, a nationally syndicated program. In the episode "Family Guy Viewer Mail #1", Peter Griffin found a genie in a beer bottle and his first wish was to see Kelly Ripa behind the scenes. The film was produced by Jimmy Osmond. She has also made fun of herself on Family Guy, voicing herself. She appeared as herself in the 2001 TV movie Inside the Osmonds, which showed how the brothers' egos, their father's fiscal mismanagement, and the family's quest to build a multi-media empire led to their downfall. Further in another episode she had a brief 5 second cameo as herself in a skit about Thailand.

She returned to television with brother Donny in 1998 to cohost the Donny and Marie Show, a talk/entertainment show that lasted two seasons. In another skit, Ripa spoofed the ubiquitous hair coloring ads in which she has appeared (in this skit, Ripa prefers Tressant Suprème because a main ingredient is crack cocaine, thus explaining her stereotypical "peppy" persona). She garnered rave reviews as Anna in "The King and I" and Maria in "The Sound of Music" in the mid 90s, taking a break from her country music success. On Saturday Night Live skits about Live with Regis and Kelly, the role of Kelly Ripa is often taken by Amy Poehler. When Ripa hosted SNL, in one skit Poehler appeared as Ripa and Ripa as Angelina Jolie. She also starred in the TV movies "The Gift of Love" and "I Married Wyatt Earp". In a mutual decision, the couple left the show: Consuelos last aired as Mateo in 2002 and Ripa last aired as Hayley in 2003. Marie played her mother in the TV movie Side by Side: The True Story of the Osmond Family. Eventually, they had three children.

She has also admitted to a not-always smooth relationship with her current husband. A romance blossomed between the castmates and Ripa married Consuelos in 1996. Perhaps the only dent in her squeaky-clean image is her divorce after 2 years of marriage (her religion, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints discourages divorce; her older brother, Tom, divorced his first wife). Later, she was paired with Mark Consuelos' character, Mateo Santos. A regular on QVC, where her "Marie Osmond Fine Porcelain Collector Dolls" is its top-selling line, she has 8 children (5 adopted). Starting on the show in 1990, she was mostly a minor character until she was paired with Christopher Lawford's character, Charlie Brent, in a May-December relationship. Her husband eventually reached her by cell phone, and convinced her to come home. Acting in high school plays led to roles at local theaters, where she was noticed and cast as gothic teen turned suffering heroine Hayley Vaughan on the soap opera All My Children.

She became so despondent, she left her family, planning never to return. Kelly Britney Ripa (born October 2, 1970 in Stratford, New Jersey) is an American actress, who hosts Live with Regis and Kelly and also co-stars, with Faith Ford, in Hope and Faith. In October 1999, she disclosed she suffered from severe postpartum depression following the birth of her son. She and Donny also had a hit variety show, Donny & Marie (1976-1979). She has charted with her brother Donny ("I'm Leaving It All Up To You"; "Deep Purple"), Dan Seals ("Meet Me in Montana"), and Paul Davis ("I Only Wanted You").

At age 13, her song "Paper Roses" debuted at #1, the first time in country music history a female artist had done that. The only daughter of George and Olive Osmond and the 8th of their 9 children, Marie has released many albums and appeared on television for over 40 years. Olive Marie Osmond (born October 13, 1959 in Ogden, Utah) is an American entertainer, a member of the show business family, The Osmonds.
