Check out a tiny bra-less Kelly Ripa - or should we say, "Kelly Nipa," and her husband Mark Consuelos out and about in Tribeca yesterday. The affable star talked on her cellphone and smiled for photographers.

Kelly recently told People magazine that Mark pays her money to keep her clothes on. She joked, "I'm actually given money to put on a parka. 'Put your parka on! Here's another dollar. Put on that hat!'"

Fun facts about Kelly:
-She's of Irish and Italian descent.
-She got her start in acting on USA's "Dance Party USA."

The reality TV couple which sent Colorado authorities on a wild chase in the 'balloon boy' drama in October has been sentenced to prison. Richard Heene and his wife Mayumi, who previously appeared on reality show "Wife Swap", were charged with falsely reporting their six-year-old son had been trapped inside a flying experimental balloon, which had become untethered in their back yard. The boy was later found hiding in the family's garage.

Heene pleaded guilty to one felony count of attempting to influence a public servant last month, while his wife admitted guilt in one misdemeanor count...
