Kelly Ripa Unveils Wax Figure at Madame Tussauds

Double the Kelly Ripa, double the fun?

The bubbly 'LIVE! With Regis and Kelly' co-host unveiled her wax figure Tuesday at Madame Tussauds in New York City.

With matching red dresses, jewelry and straight blond hair, Ripa's wax figure had all the details to match her real-life counterpart. But without Ripa's adorable sense of humor, the wax figure didn't come close to capturing the true essence of the vivacious 40-year-old.

Ripa had a laugh posing alongside her doppelganger and made sure to pay a visit to 'LIVE!' co-host Regis Philbin's figure as well.

The search continues to fill Philbin's spot on the show since the host announced his retirement earlier this year. Lisa Rinna and Ryan Seacrest have expressed interest in the job, but no official decision has been made.

Think Ripa's wax figure can handle the job?

Is the wax figure groping Anderson just like the real one does on the TV?

By bublerocks

I don't think the wax figure is not all that great. It does resemble her but if you did not know who it was supposed to be of, you wouldn't know. Perhaps others would. I didn't.

Wax Kelly doesn't even look like real Kelly , Eyes all wrong her hair has more gold than the wax, just looks "better " than Kelly actually looks, guess that can be a good thing when Kelly looks back 30 years from now!

One of the biggest frauds on TV.

Kelly is prettier than her wax figure

By MO

You have to be kidding? Kelly and her wax figure are both "UGLY". Will the real Kelly Ripa please put a bag over her head?

By KathieG

The wax is 25 years younger looking...Kelly looks like its grandmother!! Kelly must of paid a pretty penny for that!
Cant wait for Regis to dump the little boy and get a real woman to co host...then we will resume watching.

By Joey D

I can't wait until Regis leaves and the show is canceled.

Doppleganger is likely the wrong word for her double because it implies that her double is evil. I love Kelly....she and Regis make me laugh.

By DJ

The wax doesn't look like her... she is much better looking! Love Kelly... she is the best part of that show.

By royrdy
