Kelly: "We Have A Connection"

Kelly Ripa Desperately Wants Her Permanent Co-Star To Be… Foxy!

Oh, Kelly. So do we!!

In a startling admission, Kelly Ripa revealed her innermost desire to be permanently wed to everyone's FAVORITE demi-God, Anderson Cooper!

We're happy more and more states are beginning to allow the Silver Fox to marry whomever he wants but that is not the type of union we mean!

Kelly wants Anderson to take over the great Regis Philbin's old duties as co-host on Live! With Kelly and (???)!

She admitted:

"We have a connection like nobody else. I worship him!"

Sadly, we're not even sure that's possible because he's likely unable to leave his other TV commitments at CNN!

UGH!! If not AC, who will Kelly choose?

It looks like we're tuning in with everyone else on September 4 to find out!
