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."
