Celebrity Magnet

So it was just last Saturday night I got to rub elbows with a Food Network star, then this past Saturday night we had another celebrity run in!

We were in Telluride this weekend staying with Steven and Liz at their condo.  (JR's BFF, Steven's parents).

We were having a before dinner cocktail at Cosmos (we have a Cosmos in Durango, but the Telluride one is the original) when in walks Kelly Ripa and family. 

So here's the dirt:

-Of course she was little, but didn't think her hubby, Mark Consuelos, would have been that little.  Liz's description of him: "He's 4'11"!" 

(BTW, I googled him and he's listed as 5'8".  Um, okay.)

-Her hair was down and wavy (she obviously hadn't had a professional blow-out) and she's much blonder than she looks on TV.

-They were with their kids but I didn't even look at them.

We talked to the hostess after she got back from seating them and she said that "They are great friends with the Seinfelds and have a house near them."

In other celebrity news, I talked to the girl working the front desk at the condo who has lived in Telluride her whole life:

-She once rode a ski lift with Val Kilmer. (Val Kilmer, Caroline!) Said he told her he was in town visiting his girlfriend, which was Daryl Hannah.

-Tom Cruise and Katie don't come to their house much anymore.  Telluride is too "small town" for Katie, she doesn't like it.

Kelly and family were whisked to their table too fast for a picture, so I have the two requisite Telluride scenery pictures for you instead.
