Meredith Vieira: What’s in My Bag?

Meredith Vieria
Meredith Vieira tells Us Weekly what's inside her bag.

“I love the Bachelor franchise, so I have to keep a copy of Us Weekly with me to stay in the loop,” gushes Meredith Vieira, the host of the new syndicated talk show The Meredith Vieira Show (premieres Monday, Sept. 8). “I really like Chris Soules!”

The mom of Gabe, Ben and Lily (with husband of 28 years Richard Cohen) unzips her Kipling bag for Us.

Organized Chaos
“My wallet is massive and full of junk,” Vieira tells Us. “There’s a frozen-yogurt card, a Starbucks card and a shopping list.”

Clueless Beauty
“There’s a kit from my makeup artist in here, but I’ve never opened it. I literally don’t know how to apply makeup,” admits the TV personality. “But I do have Alcone Make-Off removal wipes and use those all the time!”

Missed Call
“I carry my personal BlackBerry and my work iPhone, but I don’t like smartphones,” Vieira says. “I can’t figure them out! I don’t know how to buy an app. Do you have to join a club for that?”

Bone to Pick
“For some reason, my dog doesn’t eat treats. But my cats will,” she tells Us. “So I bring some around with me, just in case.”

That’s All, Folks!
“When I first joined NBC, my mother gave me a stuffed Sylvester, the cat from Looney Tunes. I take him everywhere, and he keeps me safe,” the veteran journalist explains. “But his stuffing — his guts! — have failen out, so I keep him in a red bag. It’s a little disturbing.”
