We knew Kelly Ripa's armpits couldn't look that youthful on their own. In a chatty, personable interview with Elle magazine, Ripa cops to getting Botox injections "every seven months or so," including shots in — ouch — her armpits and — a million times ouch — her eyelids. The underarm jabs are to prevent sweating, which keeps her from getting unsightly stains while she's on camera (and from dripping on the bike during her frequent spin classes). As for the eyelid injections, it's purely a work thing: "I feel like it makes my makeup artist's life easier and it makes my eyes look a little more open on TV," she says. [Source]
