Oprah replacements from Paula Abdul to Megan Fox

Who should replace Oprah Winfrey?

You've seen these lists until your eyeballs have fallen out of your heads. Well, put them back in. We have a brand-new list for you. Not the usual names here — Ellen DeGeneres, Judge Judy, whomever — but the unusual names.

The names no one expects. Let the spitballing begin with ...

Paula Abdul — who actually thinks she'd be a peachy O replacement. She recently told Extra: "I feel I would be really good at it. I have the ability to connect with people on a level. ... I've proven to pierce the heartstrings." Pierce the heartstrings? What is a heartstring, and how do you skewer it?

Randy Jackson — If Paula, why not Randy? He knows how to pierce heartstrings, too.

Jenna Jameson — "Most downloaded person on the Internet" ... but can she talk?

Megan Fox — Second most downloaded ... but can she act? I mean ... talk?

Katie Featherston — Ghosts followed her on Paranormal Activity. A brand-new talk show demographic, perhaps?

Morena Baccarin — Plays Anna, boss of the Visitors, on V and has great face for TV — we know because it filled the underside of a space ship half as big as Manhattan.

David Letterman — He even suggested this on the air, recently saying, "I'm taking over for Oprah. ... Tony Danza will replace me."
