My picks for Kelly Ripa’s co-host
Nov 25th
1. Anderson Cooper. Because he is hilarious, loves the “Real Housewives,” is addicted to crack pie, and always has wacky stories to tell. Unfortunately, his crazy busy schedule probably means he won’t be joining the show; but, a girl can dream, can’t she?
2.Tom Bergeron. He’s quick on his feet with awesome responses on “Dancing With The Stars.” My favourite was when he repeated judge Bruno’s bizarre comment in an incredulous tone, saying, “He has batteries in his pants?!” I feel like he would create excellent banter with Kelly Ripa and would be a great addition to the show.
3. Jerry O’Connell. Random choice, I know, but Jerry O’Connell’s silly appearances on “TMZ” always makes me laugh. Why? Because the paparazzi always catches him jogging, and, instead of being boring, he sings whatever’s playing on his iPod at the top of his lungs. Creative and goofy!
4. Matt Lauer. We already know he can dazzle fans on morning TV, so why doesn’t Matt try something new by leaving his post for “Live!”? He’d actually ask the tough questions, would know the ins-and-outs of news items, and has a fun side (those Halloween costumes are pretty wicked).
5. Seth Meyers. He’s young, talented, and certainly doesn’t have stage fright. I think Seth Meyers could handle the co-hosting post, and leaving “SNL” would make him an even brighter star. He hasn’t achieved film success, like co-star Kristen Wiig, nor has he become a household name, like Andy Samberg; so I think it’s time Seth Meyers has his due.
Who do you want to replace Regis?

Highly anticipating: Snow White and the Huntsman
Nov 13th
The newly released trailer for “Snow White and the Huntsman” has gotten me excited for June 1, 2012. This flick definitely is more Grimm than Disney, with a villain more evil and a heroine more active than typical kid-friendly fare. Judging from the trailer, Charlize Theron totally rocks as the Evil Queen, Kristen Stewart is a Snow White that finally fights back, and Chris Hemsworth is one brave (and dashing) hunstman. I can’t wait!
