Race to Replace Vieira Heats Up

The game of TV musical chairs continues with the search for a replacement for Meredith Vieira, who will leave ABC's The View to cohost NBC's Today show now that Katie Couric is jumping to the CBS Evening News.

"I think every agent in America is calling," View vet Barbara Walters, 76, tells the Associated Press. Vieira tearfully announced her departure on Friday's episode, although she will remain on the program through next month. Her replacement is due to begin in September.

Walters says that "chemistry" and "humor" are key ingredients for the new costar who will sit alongside herself, Joy Behar, Star Jones Reynolds and Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

"We're looking for somebody who can do the interviews and also the hot topics at the beginning of the show," she says. And while she won't name names, Walters admits, "I've seen rumor after rumor after rumor."

Among those rumored to be in the running, according to published reports: CNN's Soledad O'Brien, Everybody Loves Raymond Emmy winner Patricia Heaton, actress Mimi Rogers and the latest, according to the New York Post, newswoman Connie Chung. (Heaton is already developing a talk show of her own for Disney, which owns ABC.)

Walters insists that no matter who lands on the program, The View will not undergo an extreme makeover. "It will change because we have a new person," Walters, herself a Today veteran, tells the Post.

Landry, 32, wore a strapless, ivory Monique Lhuillier drop-waist wedding gown with a sweetheart neckline and full ball gown s***t. The dress was made of hand-sewn layers of organza, tulle and chiffon. In keeping with the Mexican setting, Landry wore a paprika feathered bolero after the ceremony.

"He is so beyond amazing," the Eve actress recently told Dolan Media Newswires of Monteverde. "When you dream of 'the guy' as a child, reading your fairy tales and thinking of Prince Charming, you think of all the things you want in a man. And he's everything I thought was possible. He's creative, passionate and would love to help change the world. I respect him so much."

Landry, 32, and Monteverde, who reportedly met at Bible study last year, got engaged over Memorial Day weekend in 2005, and Landry will appear in the 2006 film Bella, which Monteverde wrote, produced and directed.

Appearing with Moss will be British male model Jamie Dornan.

Peterson Family Denied Money from House

Scott Peterson's mother has lost a legal battle to the parents of the slain Laci Peterson over money from last year's sale of Scott and Laci's house.

Jackie Peterson said in court Thursday that she had continued to pay more than $35,000 for mortgage and other expenses for the Modesto, Calif., residence during a time when Scott was arrested and convicted of killing Laci. (Peterson, 33, is on death row at San Quentin Prison.)

An attorney for Laci Peterson's mother, Sharon Rocha, said creditors can only be reimbursed for debts that have accrued before a death, not after -- and the probate judge agreed.
