She said she wanted to share her journey to encourage other women to keep up with their exams.

"Please get your annual mammogram. I was six months late this time. I shudder to think what might have happened if I had put it off longer. But just as importantly, please find out if you need additional screening," she said.

Kelly Ripa dishes on all in her new book!

Kelly Ripa has been the chipper blonde on your tv every morning since you first started getting up at 10am.  Or Since February 2001, depending on which applies to you. I was a huge fan of the original set up with Kelly and Regis.  They were perfect together. Or were they? Their back stage relationship and more are discussed in her new book;  Live Wire: Long-Winded Short Stories. Speaking with People on Monday, Ripa opened up about her “complicated” relationship with Philbin. “I don’t want to feel like I’m slamming anyone or that I’m being disrespectful. But I also want people to know it was not a cakewalk,” she told the outlet. “It took years to earn my place there and earn things that are routinely given to the men I worked with — including an office and a place to put my computer,” she added.

Ripa sat down to write Live Wire during the pandemic because, she quipped, 'all the gyms were closed.'

'It is so hard and I don't think I really appreciated what a grueling process it would be until I tried to do it myself,' she admitted of her foray into the written word. 'Everybody has been instructed that if I ever tried to do it again, they have to kill me. They have to stop me. I must be stopped.'

California passes human composting bill into law

What you say? You may not have noticed but there are more and more people on this planet every day. To the tune 7,920,000,000 people on earth.  331,000,000 in the US alone. If we keep putting the dead in the ground we'll eventually have no where but out national parks to turn into housing space. But California, as always, has a way that saves the space and even helps the land! "We have a climate change crisis out there and i don't want to contribute to it.," said Assemblywoman Christina Garcia (D-Bell Gardens) "This cycle of returning back to earth is nothing new," said Garcia. Garcia is talking about human composting, where human remains naturally decompose over about a month after being put in a reusable container and buried in biodegradable materials like wood chips and alfalfa, which break down into soil that can later be returned to families. "It's compost. It's soil that we're talking about...that could be used to plant trees, to plant a garden. And it's also good for the environment," she said. Brilliant. Imagine growing a tree with the compost from your loved one. They actually BECOME the tree!! I hope this idea spreads. [caption id="attachment_194018" align="aligncenter" width="634"]What you say?
