Kelly Ripa

In November, Regis Philbin is expected to exit the seat he's occupied for decades.

So, who will banter with Kelly Ripa every morning on her ABC talk show? Disney insiders claim "it's ridiculous at this point to be speculating about who will replace" the TV legend, but The Wall Street Journal reports three names have emerged as contenders:

Ryan Seacrest, Andy Cohen and Mark Consuelos.

Seacrest already holds down more jobs than anyone in Hollywood, whole Consuelos is married to Ripa (who joked with David Letterman recently that the couple would "kill each other" if they co-hosted), so we say the gig goes to Cohen, the host Bravo's "Watch What Happens: Live."

Who do you think should replace Regis?

It's the most pressing question in television today. No, not how the heck did three million people tune in to watch Kourtney and Kim take NYC.

But: who will replace Regis Philbin on Live?

The veteran host announced his impending retirement from the show this month, although he's yet to give a date for his final show. Still, talk is rampant over who will replace him.

According to Entertainment Weekly, ABC has a long list of potential Kelly Ripa co-hosts, but we've narrowed it down to the most likely ones here. Got a preference? Vote on them now.

With both celebrity gossip notoriety and ridiculous appearances going for them, it's no surprise that Kate and Jon Gosselin were Halloween staples this year.

A pair of celebrity duos themselves decided to go as the terrible tandem.

On Live with Regis and Kelly, Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa masqueraded as Jon and Kate, complete his and her stacks of $100 bills divided on the table. LOL.

Meanwhile, the gruesome twosome who relinquished their title of Most Painful Reality TV Couple to the Gosselins showed gratitude by dressing up as them.

Spencer and Heidi Pratt also lugged around eight dolls, a funny touch. Let's just hope that Speidi doesn't have eight children of their own someday. Yeesh.

Whose costumes were tops? Compare the faux Gosselins and vote below ...

Don't worry, morning talk show fans: Kelly Ripa won't be leaving Live with Regis and Kelly any time soon.

But the thin beauty and husband Marc Consuelos will make a pair of guest-starring performances on the drama on which they met, All My Children, to help celebrate its 40th anniversary.

Best known now for yapping with Regis Philbin each day, Ripa rose to fame as Hayley Vaughan on the soap opera, starring for over a decade until 2002; Consuelos played Mateo Santos for seven years.

The couple will appear on January 4 and 5, marking the first time back in Pine Valley for either one since they each left in 2002.

Ripa said her talk show will air behind-the-scenes footage of her return to All My Children next month. Regis ought to have many wisecracks to offer about that.

Julia Roberts and Kelly Ripa each have three children.

But you'd never know it, based on how these older beauties look in a bikini!

While many readers had to bathe for hours after merely contemplating sex with Aubrey O'Day or Tila Tequila in our previous edition of Who Would You Rather, this installment is kid-friendly.

Compare the bodies of Roberts and Ripa below. Let us know which you'd prefer to wake up next to in the morning (after having had intercourse with her the night before, that is)...

Julia Robert or Kelly Ripa: Who would you rather...

... or Kelly Ripa?

Should Megan Fox be worried? Might Kelly Ripa steal her title as the Sexiest Woman in the World?

That may be going too far, but the following photo of the talk show host proves that she's more than just a sounding board for Regis Philbin every morning. She's a hot sounding board!

On an edition of Live with Regis and Kelly this week, Regis Philbin said he assumed breastfeeding was time-consuming endeavor.

Never one to miss a moment to discuss her kids, Kelly Ripa agreed:

"It is very time consuming, it really is a labor of love. It depends on the child, too. Because Lola and Michael were great eaters. But Joaquin really took his time and was like 'Mom I think we should see other people.' And he still, like to this day, is a fussy eater."

Thanks to People magazine for this great compilation of celebrity quotes from the past week or so. Here's a glimpse inside the minds of the stars ...

No, we're just kidding.

Hopefully, the innocent Clay Aiken comment uttered by this beauty a few weeks ago is long forgotten.

We know Rosie O'Donnell has moved on to a new feud, for instance.

And it's nice to see Kelly Ripa making nice, as well.

Even if it is to someone as misguided as The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

If anyone can turn his attitude around, though, it's Regis' bubbly pal.

Maybe she can work on Perez Hilton next.
