Kelly Ripa

I've always found Kelly Ripa, strangely hot, even when she was preggers.

An unexpected change - she went curly today, to the delight of Regis
and the audience. Hope she continues to play with the style.

The tuck behind the ear appears to be a manditory part of the hairstyle.

Very Dissapointing!! She Never changed Her Style At ALL!! Same Old Style she has Had For Years,  Just a Little Shorter.! And This was supposed to be a "New YOU" Week?? Seems Like She Missed THe message On this One! She Needs to make a CHange! This Same Old Hairstyle With her Face partly Hidden By her Bangs! Would love to see Her With a Diffrent Style, Guess She Chicked out, And Another Big Hype Then FLOP for T.V.!! Another Fear Factor...!!

(lol) How these stars allow themselves to be bullied into mediocre or horrible haircuts I'll never understand.

They don't. Don't let her on screen protests fool you. That's the character
she's playing. I'm sure Kelly was all for a cut, probably her idea. Stars as
established as she is on this show don't get told what to do with their hair.
They may get told when, but not how.

I was disappointed because it mainly looks just like the old style.  It is shorter but I have to side with the "healthy" trim side rather than a significant cut. 

This was a significant cut. This in no way could be called a "trim". She went from almost mid back to shoulder skimming.

I hate it. What sizzle I thought she had is totally gone. Way too "blah" for me.

She was recentlly experimenting alot with curl and volume, which I loved. For the last while she looked different almost daily. Now, it will be this boring mess every day.

Bad, Bad move. I bet she's on the grow as of this minute...  

I agree with most - much ado about not all that much. The cut is
basically a shorter, slightly more layered version of exactly what she
had before. It's still parted on the right, still looks very heavy in
front, and took her exactly 3 seconds to tuck it behind her ear (I
counted).

The whole thing seemed odd. Kelly, who last November made a point
of saying she'd love to go short and has done it many times before,
was fighting the cut all the way. Regis, who was very involved and
opinionated, telling her to do something very different and dramatic
(like last fall, when he pushed her to get a pixie during sweeps
month) didn't even mention it on this morning's show until she
started screaming at him for not noticing, then said he really liked it.
The audience seemed against it the whole time. Regis asked her if
she'd still curl it (that's what I was wondering!) and she didn't really
answer definitively, but my guess is she won't vary the style for a
while. Just odd all around.

So, I don't know... I'm glad to see her cut it, but wish she'd done
something more different. Can't believe all the hoopla for the same
style, 5 inches shorter.

More like 5 or so inches.  I would speculate that perhaps a more drastic cut was planned, but she got cold feet...
