Kelly Ripa Kicks Off a Text-a-Thon For Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month

GeekSugar — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 11:36:38 -0700

It only makes sense that daytime talk-show host Kelly Ripa - a self-proclaimed iPhone addict - is teaming up with the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund to help raise awareness during Ovarian Cancer Month with a text-a-thon!

Throughout the rest of the month, Kelly will be encouraging people to help fund research for a cure by donating money by either texting "Kelly" to 85944 or by visiting Kelly Confidential.

I'm sure Kelly will keep us posted on the text-a-thon progress via her new favorite microblogging site - Twitter!

Ashton Kutcher Explains Twitter to Kelly Ripa

GeekSugar — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 11:13:35 -0700

I normally find Live! With Regis and Kelly quite entertaining - especially with the banter between co-hosts - but yesterday my favorite celeb geek king, Ashton Kutcher, not only joined Kelly Ripa in a hosting chair, but also he brought along his beloved MacBook Pro. . . so things got really interesting. Within minutes, Ashton was not only divulging details about his Twitter obsession, but he got computer-phobe Kelly tweeting as well!

To listen to Ashton's thoughts on Twitter etiquette, just read more.

Do You Ever Send Mean Emails?

When I saw the following clip on Live With Regis and Kelly, I couldn't help but LOL. Mainly because of Kelly's annoyed reaction, but also because of the "they're just like us" aspect. Even Regis and Kelly get quite the variety of emails sent to their inboxes.

I know I've discussed online rants before and how people have a tendency to do things online that they would never do in "the real world," but I'm curious to know if you've gone the distance and said something really mean in an email that you probably wouldn't have said to someone's face. Do tell below!

Regis Explains What a Search Engine Is

I always love watching Live With Regis and Kelly, especially when they have their funny host chats, which usually consist of some form of tech talk. So on yesterday's show, when Kelly quizzed Regis on Yahoo!, I was totally surprised that the self-proclaimed technophobe knew what it was!

Kelly Ripa Can't Function Without Her Cell Phone

GeekSugar — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 11:11:36 -0700

On Live With Regis and Kelly yesterday, Kelly admitted to feeling helpless when she lost her cell phone - which I'm assuming is an iPhone, considering she's already confessed her love for it. "My cell phone has all sorts of everything," she says, realizing in the midst of her panic that she couldn't call her friends to see if they had her phone because their numbers were stored in it! Thankfully there was a happy ending to this story, as Lola Consuelos came to the rescue and used her tiny arms to grab Kelly's phone that was wedged between the car seat and the gear shifts. Phew!

Kelly Ripa Swears by Her iPhone

GeekSugar — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 09:01:04 -0800

Yesterday on Live with Regis and Kelly, Kelly couldn't help but fill Regis in on a little secret - that her iPhone is her personal weatherman - all at the touch of a button. She then attempts to sell good ol' Regis on the user-friendly Apple device that's easy for "technologically challenged" people to use. It's a cute clip with Regis admitting that he wishes people would just go back to using rotary phones - the "safe" way to do it, he says. What do you think? Is simpler always better?

Live With Regis and Kelly Goes 3D for Halloween

GeekSugar — Thu, 11 Oct 2007 03:00:47 -0700

On October 31st, Regis and Kelly will be taking their Halloween spirit to a whole new geeky level-by hosting Live in 3D! Walgreens stores across the country will be offering free 3D glasses at the photo counter so we can all take part in the 3D action and geek out during one of our favorite morning shows. Approximately five million pairs will be given out -sorry only one per person. Watching Live's 3D Halloween Spectacular in three dimensions should be quite interesting-I can't say I've sported red and blue lens glasses for any other show before! I hope this new format doesn't interfere with all the fabulous costume changes-how awesome was it when Gelman dressed up as Britney, snake and all?!

Regis Philbin Puts an iPhone on His Holiday Wish List

GeekSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:47:33 -0800

Well well well. Back in early 2008, Kelly Ripa tried to get Regis Philbin to join the iPhone club, but he just wouldn't budge. And after almost two years of confessing her love for her iPhone, good ole' Regis has finally decided it's time to ask Santa for an iPhone - which he says he wants to fill with "thousands of apps." I think once he gets the hang of the iPhone, he'll love it. I mean, the guy does know what a search engine is, so maybe he isn't a total Luddite after all? Regardless, just listening to the adorable duo banter back and forth about tech is pretty priceless.

Don't Expect to See Drew Barrymore on Facebook or Twitter

GeekSugar — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 04:00:52 -0700

Unlike Oprah who has already signed up for both a Facebook and Twitter account in the past month, actress Drew Barrymore - who admits she's confused by technology in dating - told Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark on Live With Regis and Kelly that she stays clear of both social networking sites. Although admitting that she appreciates technology and the convenience of it, she doesn't know what "Twittering" is and doesn't care to know. Check out the clip below.

And to watch Drew talk about her old school rotary dial banana yellow wall phone, just read more.
