KELLY RIPA
It seems Kelly Ripa has only two men in mind to be her new Live! co-host — and if ABC execs don't agree with her pick, the actress may quit the show!
"[She] is talking about leaving," a source revealed to Us Weekly.

Since Michael Strahan surprisingly announced he is exiting Live! to instead join the Good Morning America team, the show's producers have reportedly been considering Neil Patrick Harris, Anderson Cooper, ** Jerry O'Connell** and Andy Cohen as co-host replacements.
"[But, Kelly] hopes Anderson Cooper or Andy Cohen gets the job," the insider continued. "Unless one of them can come on, she doesn't really want to do it."
