According to Yahoo! Buzz, Kelly Ripa is one of the most searched for female celebrities this week, just after Eva Longoria, Jessica Alba, Hilary Duff and Jessica Biel.

Here are some bikini photos of Kelly Ripa. She has given birth to three children, yet she’s in great shape and she looks fabulous (some say she is too thin). What do you think about her, is she too skinny or not?

Kelly Ripa was featured in the May issue of Shape Magazine, where she showed off her wonderfully fit body and answered a few questions about health, diet and exercise:

“It wasn’t easy (exercising 5 days a week), in fact, I almost gave up in the beginning. But after a couple of weeks someone told me how great my arms looked! I’m so vain, that’s all it took. I was hooked.”Kelly is not big on breakfast. Instead she always begins her day with coffee at home and then a cup of Starbucks regular coffee with half and half during the show. Her first meal of the day is at 10 a.m. – usually a salad and a small turkey sandwich or a BLT (with turkey bacon) on whole-wheat bread. Her afternoon snack is a handful of almonds and a pear. For dinner she eats salads and fresh veggies with smaller servings of fish or steak.

The family chef has also helped Kelly realize how easy home cooking can be…she even has signature dish. “It’s Jamie Oliver’s minestrone soup,” she says. “But instead of pasta, I use chickpeas for extra protein. The kids think it looks like a tiger because of the purple cabbage and carrots. It’s delicious. I like it because it’s really easy.”

Kelly makes sure to carve out downtime for herself and her family. “I’m a creature of warm weather and so are the kids,” she explains. “We grill; go for long walks, buy ice cream. We never have a schedule, and we don’t make any plans. A weekend out there (beach home on Long Island) feels like a month – its pure magic.”

“If I can begin an exercise program after such a huge break (10 years), anyone can.”

“On the show hair and makeup people are paid to make me look great, while I just sit there, but the results I get from exercise come from my hard work, no one else’s. That gives me an enormous sense of accomplishment.” [Source]
