Larry King, 77, is replaceable after all. CNN said Wednesday that the avuncular talk-show host, whose suspenders, owl-eyed glasses, and penchant for collecting ex-wives (six to date) have made him a myth, will be replaced in January by Brit tabloid journo and self-made myth Piers Morgan, 45, best known here as a judge on America's Got Talent. "I have watched Larry King Live for much of the last 25 years, and dreamed of one day filling [his] legendary suspenders," says Morgan, who calls King "the greatest TV interviewer of them all." Morgan, who was top dog at News of the World and the Daily Mirror, hosts a chat show on ITV, and has penned eight books, including his third memoir, God Bless America. One thing's for sure, he won't be boring: He says he likes to spark media feuds and has been reviled as "arrogant," "smarmy" and "self-satisfied." Sure, Morgan is talented. But I wonder: Did CNN hire a Brit because America has no talent? All of America, and not one talk-show host?Snooki guilty of being annoying
