Kelly Ripa is a regular in fan magazines I read at the beauty shop. She has been featured as well in "women's" magazines, discussing her marriage, children, and many personal tips. Very appealing, refreshing woman! My guess is the secretive process of making the change reflects the intense rivalry of TV programming and perhaps a foolish attempt to promote Michael and not give Kelly herself a chance to comment. It is not good business practice, but certainly not unusual thinking.
