Kelly Ripa is the January 2010 cover girl for Redbook.

Kelly talked with Redbook about her body, fame and pet peeves.

On Her Fame: “I’m never recognized.  We were doing a show in the Bahamas, and we were shooting in the hotel lobby, and it was [Live executive producer] Michael Gelman, Regis, and me standing there.  A crowd gathered, and a woman said, “Oh, my God!  It’s Gelman, it’s Regis!” and handed me her camera and asked me to take a picture of them.  Then she said, “Where’s Kelly?”

On Her Body: “The first thing you learn when you put on borrowed clothes at a fashion shoot is that someone always has bigger boobs, a smaller waist and longer legs than you do.  Actually, everyone has bigger boobs than I do!”

On Pet Peeves: “Not really.  As far as my family, there’s only one rule in my house, and that’s that my kids must be polite to other people.  You can get so caught up in your own world that you’re not aware of other people and how you’re affecting them.  I’m the biggest offender, but I want better for my kids, so I demand that they are polite.  The art of please and thank you never goes out of style.  I’ve had thank-you notes made up for them, and when they complain they don’t have lines on them to make it easier to write, I literally get out a ruler and draw the lines.
