Television legend has tapped CNN anchor Anderson Cooper — host of AC360 — to replace him on Live! within in the next two years, The National Enquirer reported Monday.

According to the tabloid report, Buena Vista Television is expected to offer Anderson a multimillion contract to join Kelly Ripa as host of the ABC morning gabfest when 78-year-old Regis retires in 2011.

“Reege loves Anderson,” an industry mole blabs. “And Anderson seems to love doing the show. Hosting AC360 is mostly serious stuff, and Live! allows Anderson to show his funny side,” the source adds. “He can cut loose and joke, which he enjoys. He told a pal that working on the show is an ‘absolute riot.’”

Despite his news background, Anderson, 42, has subbed for Regis many times on Live! and also has experience hosting entertainment shows, after fronting The Mole and The Mole II.

Other possible candidates to replace Regis include Deal Or No Deal host Howie Mandel and American Idol frontman Ryan Seacrest.

In a new interview with AOL Television, the soap star-turned-host of ABC’s AM gabfest Live With Regis & Kelly has defended her decision to not get a boob job.

“You know what’s so funny? I used to always think, ‘I’m going to do it, I’m going to do it,’ and then I just started thinking, you know, someone’s got to represent the small girls,” Kelly said. “I mean, there are a lot of us out there … they’re not making all those small cup sizes just for me. Plus, I would think, why tamper with something? What if something went wrong?’”

Things got tense during the Gosselin Matriarch’s appearance on ABC’s Live With Regis & Kelly Thursday after Kate professed that her marriage is over forever. Regis pressed Kate on what she’d do if Jon asked her for another chance at saving the union, but she refused to answer.

“If he came back tomorrow and he said, ‘Look, let’s put the past behind us. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and the kids.’ What would you say?” Regis probed.

Kate responded, “You know, I don’t think I can answer that…..We definitely have different goals at this point. A lot has changed, a lot of unexpected things have come up. It’s not ideal.”

“I can’t and won’t answer that,” Kate replied curtly during the chat, airing this Thursday. “I keep certain things private, and that’s one.”

Reg added, “I think you [and your husband] will get back together and live happily ever after. I think everything is going to work itself out — he’ll say he’s sorry, that he loves you and everything will be good.”

Kate was stunned speechless as the show cut to commercial.
