She hosts her very own morning talk show now that Regis Philbin has retired, and Kelly Ripa finds herself adorning the cover of the March 2012 issue of Good Housekeeping.

Set to hit newsstands on February 14th, the 41-year-old spoke with the magazine about everything from her husband, Mark Consuelos, and parenting to how she powers through her days and what keeps her so slim.

Highlights from Miss Ripa’s interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit Good Housekeeping!

On her husband, Mark Consuelos:
“He’s kind of awesome. I think he makes me better. He makes everything in our lives better.”

On her best qualities as a wife:
“I don’t give him a hard time about seeing his friends. Or for doing things independently, like taking a weekend biking trip with his racing friends. He doesn’t need to take me everywhere or do everything with me. I’m very much about us having our own separate time. And I don’t give him a hard time about not doing things around the house, like taking out the trash.”

On her exercise routine:
“I work out every day. It’s part of my life. That’s one of the benefits of having kids in school full-time. I’m usually done with work around 11 A.M., so I have time before I pick the kids up from school. I do it more for my insides than my outside, but the outside gets a nice benefit, too. I feel like my mind is a little quieter when I exercise. And I don’t have the best family history heart-wise, so I really try to keep my heart strong.”

On keeping her energy up:
“I think exercise has everything to do with it. Before I started exercising, I was exhausted all the time. I remember when Joaquin was about 7 months old, I was carrying him up the stairs, and was completely winded when I got to the top. I thought, I’ve got to figure this out, because I shouldn’t be exhausted like this. My husband encouraged me and said, ‘If you worked out, you’d feel so much better, and it would quiet your mind down.’ Because I’m a worrier. And he was right. I started out three days a week, walking for a half hour on a treadmill; then it was five days a week, and then I started jogging. It was like a drug. The gateway drug is the treadmill.”

On having another baby:
“That’s the one constant discussion in our house. The kids are always asking, “When are you going to have another baby?” I don’t want to gild the lily. We’ve been so lucky. Our children are healthy and happy. My job is ideal for raising children, but now I have three kids with after-school activities and homework.”

Welcoming a special someone into his life, Robert Downey Jr is the proud father of a baby boy!

The “Sherlock Holmes” star’s wife, Susan, gave birth to Exton Elias Downey at 7:24AM on Tuesday morning (February 7).

With Downey’s rep confirming the joyous news, a friend of Robert and Susan’s told People magazine, “Everyone is healthy and they couldn’t be happier.”

As for their precious bundle of joy, little Exton weighed in at 7 lbs., 5 oz. while measuring 20 inches in length.

This is Robert and Susan’s first child together, with the actor having an 18-year-old son named Indio from a previous marriage.

Stepping out for his first live show since the birth of his daughter, Jay-Z performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City on Monday night (February 6).

The “99 Problems” rapper looked snazzy in a tuxedo as he made his arrival, then taking to the stage in the tux followed by a casual black outfit to belt out his songs including his latest tune “Glory” - which was written in honor of he and wife Beyonce’s baby girl, Blue Ivy.

The audience, which included his “Love on Top” wife and her mom, as well as Brooklyn Decker, Jessica White and Liz Minnelli, showed all kinds of love to him while special guests taking the stage included Nas and Alicia Keys.

The show benefited the United Way and Jay’s own charity, the Shawn Carter Foundation.

Bundled up as she arrived in the Big Apple, Lindsay Lohan was spotted fresh from a flight at JFK Airport in New York City on Monday night (February 6).

The “Mean Girls” star looked warm and fuzzy in a giant white coat overtop her black sweater dress as she made her way through the terminal.

Awhile later, Miss Lohan was spotted checking into her hotel, but did her best to avoid the always-present paparazzi.

The east coast travels come as Lindsay recently teamed up with photographer Terry Richardson for a photo-shoot at the Chateau Marmont - and the pics have been posted online.

The photos involve Lindsay goofing around, smoking cigarettes and working it for the camera, with LiLo certainly not being shy when it comes to showing a little skin.

On the homestretch when it comes to promoting their new movie, Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum teamed up on the red carpet for the Hollywood premiere of “The Vow” on Monday night (February 6).

Held at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre, the undeniably attractive co-stars posed alongside one another during the Tinseltown event while Channing then reconvened with wife Jenna Dewan prior to the film’s screening.

“To play Paige honestly is a tightrope to walk,” Tatum says. “Then I realized, after I got to know [McAdams], that so much of her loveliness comes out in whatever character she does.”

Other stars turning up to check out the Michael Sucsy directed romantic drama included E! realty stars sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, as well as Teresa Palmer and Bella Thorne.

As for Channing and Rachel’s new movie, “The Vow” finds “a car accident put Paige (McAdams) in a coma, and when she wakes up with severe memory loss, her husband Leo (Tatum) works to win her heart again.”

Making its way into theaters this Friday (February 10), Sucsy boasted in a recent interview that the film was aided by Tatum and McAdams’ natural chemistry, as he said, “You can manufacture things to make it seem like they have chemistry, but they have the real thing, so it’s always easier to add the details.”

Echoing these sentiments, Channing told, “To play Paige honestly is a tightrope to walk. Then I realized, after I got to know [McAdams], that so much of her loveliness comes out in whatever character she does.”

Highlights from Ea’s in-depth interview are as follows. For more, be sure to visit Marie Claire!

On working with Ryan Gosling:
“He’s your dream costar. I have never felt so creatively satisfied on a film.”

On body image:
“It doesn’t matter what you have or what you look like. It’s something everyone has to work at. I realize I have contributed to a certain happy, healthy, empowered image, but that’s not all of me. I feel it’s important to let women know that I have similar struggles. What I tell girls is what they don’t like about themselves now, they will probably end up loving as an adult, because that’s what happened to me. When I am complimented on things that I didn’t like when I was 13, like my overbite and my mole, that’s when you realize that your imperfections are why people love you.”

On her idols, Julianne Moore and Annette Bening:
“I have a girl crush on them. I’d kill to have half the careers they’ve had after 40.”

Making her post-pregnancy debut, Beyoncé Knowles was spotted out in New York City on early Tuesday morning (February 7).

During the concert, which benefited The United Way of New York City along with Jay’s Shawn Carter Foundation, the “Empire State of Mind” rapper got choked up while performing “Glory,” the tune he penciled for their baby girl.
