By Amelia Proud

Sports hero Michael Strahan will be the next permanent co-host of Live! With Kelly, it's being reported.

The former New York Giants legend is said to bagged the position Regis Philbin left behind when he retired in November 2011.

Dream team: It's been reported that Michael Strahan will join Kelly Ripa permanently on Live! after a successful guest slot

Dream team: It's been reported that Michael Strahan will join Kelly Ripa permanently on Live! after NINE successful guest slots

It wouldn't be surprising for the 40-year-old will sit beside Kelly Ripa for the foreseeable future, as he completed his ninth guest host slot on May 7.
Broadcasting Cable.com say an official announcement will soon be made.
The news comes just a day after Live! announced that the mystery co-host would join her for the show's new season, staring September 4.

Excitement building: Strahan tweeted that he'd been given this note on May 27, he wrote: 'Just got this note at my table. What should I do?? Lol'

Anchor: It's a plum role, and it seems as though the Giant's got it

His other leading lady: Strahan with girlfriend Nicole Murphy at the premiere of Water for Elephants in New York last April

The 6ft5 Houston born star already hosts Fox NFL Sunday and Pros vs. Joes.
Ripa is said to auditioned 59 celebrities to see who she gelled with best.
Favourites for the role were thought to include Strahan, Jerry O'Connell and Nick Lachey.

Making a commitment: Kelly is ready to pick a replacement for Regis at last

She said her dream partner would be the estimable Anderson Cooper, but his schedule is already too busy.

Strahan promises to be an entertaining host.

During a June Live! interview Channing Tatum when he was guest hosting, Strahan tore off his pants and started a Magic Mike-inspired stripping routine.

He's also appeared in an advertisement for PETA, which should keep the handlers of the show's many animal guests happy.

The star made headlines in 2006 when his divorce from Jean Muggli, his second wife and mother of his twin daughters, Sophia and Isabella, eight, turned nasty.

He also has a son, Michael Jnr, 17, and daughter Tanita, 20, with Wanda Hutchins, the first wife he married in Germany where he spent part of his youth on an army base.
He is now in a relationship with Eddie Murphy's ex, Nicole, 44, who shares five children with the movie star, they divorced in 2006 after 18 years together.

They remain on good terms, and the 51-year-old is said to approve of her new relationship and her role in VH1's Hollywood Exes.

Happy together: The strapping former sportsman is dating Eddie Murphy's ex-wife, Nicole, she has five children with the film star

Rihanna Deemed Too Sexy For Nivea By New CEO (PHOTO)

Rihanna has become known for partying hard (like, really hard), wearing underwear as outerwear and sometimes even foregoing clothing all together. So it should come as no surprise that some people don't quite see her as a positive role model. Her latest naysayer? The new CEO of Nivea Stefan Heidenreich.

Things started so well. The singer signed on to represent the skin care brand in 2011 and the brand proceeded to use her song "California King Bed" in their commercial and fund her tour before Heidenreich joined the company. Rihanna, on the other hand, proceeded to continue partying and have on-stage wardrobe malfunctions. Speaking to German newspaper Welt, Heidenreich said (according to Google translate), "Rihanna is a no go ... I do not understand how to bring the core brand of Nivea in conjunction with Rihanna."

Heidenreich added, "Nivea is a company which stands for trust, family and reliability." What? Appearing topless in ads and thrusting in embellished lingerie during her Nivea-sponsored tour doesn't align with the brand's core family values? We're not sure if this means that Rihanna's officially received the ax, but it's sure to be quite the blow since the Nivea contract was a huge factor in skyrocketing her onto Forbes' list of the highest paid celebrities under 30. Rihanna responded to Heidenreich's criticism by tweeting a photo of him and writing, "No caption necessary." We're not sure if we quite get her point, but at least we know that girl knows how to forget her troubles.

You Are Perfect Just The Way You Are

The Power Practice

What Kind Of Practice Makes Perfect?

You want to improve your health? Permanently transform your eating or exercise patterns for the better? Do you want to embody a different approach to success in your career, business or relationships?

Consistent practice is essential, but only if you are practicing the right things!

When you are transitioning from an old reality to a new more vibrant reality, everything that went into creating your old reality must surface. It must be felt and acknowledged, without identifying with it, in order to be integrated, so it no longer controls you (remember what we resist persists). This means all your judgements, beliefs, repressed feelings, insecurities that produced the old reality are going to surface to make room for a new way of being. If we practice a new behaviour over and over and over again without also practicing feeling at a bodily sensation level what is emerging, our bodies can never fully adapt to the change and make space for the new reality to emerge.

Everything that went into creating the old reality is still within you, within your embodied neurology. By simply behaviourally changing, you might be able to create a muscle memory change that retains 10-20% of your efforts. But this isn't effort to produce radical change, especially if you are working with shifting addictions such as emotional eating, over-extending, relationship addiction and chronic over doing.

Thus include into your practice process, not only the behavioural change but also:

1. Notice what is happening in the body at a sensation level (make sure to bypass the emotional state <- I will explain why in a future article). Breathe into the sensations. Witness them. But do not identify with them and believe that your experience is true. You have feelings, they move through your body, but you are not your feelings. Let the greater aliveness of who you are emerge within you.

2. Stay in the question, keep an open mind and a beginner's mind. Staying in the question facilitates relaxation and opening at a mind and body level, allowing insights and awarenesses to emerge from the embodied brain to support your growth. Being in conclusion, expectation or the answer shuts awareness and insights down, and it is a form of control that gives the false illusion of safety.

These two factors, on top of practicing your behavioral change facilitates evolving of your consciousness. Because consciousness can not evolve through the mind and behaviour alone. It must also include the body. To include the body means to learn how to experience sensations, especially sensations of discomfort. Sensations are the language of the somatic.

Many of us however are not taught how to use the body to support our endeavours. So the skill of body awareness is weak in most of us in North America. But this can change and is starts by asking yourself:
"What am I noticing in my body? Is it light, tense, open, constricted, heavy, expanded, etc."... "Where in my body do I notice these sensations?"

Then simply learn to hang out with the sensations. Build tolerance and resilience. And when you kick into thought, breathe deeply and return to the sensations.

These incredible pictures show motivational speaker Nick Vujicic and his new wife on the beach in Hawaii, frolicking like any other couple on their honeymoon.

Vujicic was born with no limbs, a crippling disability that meant he had little hope of ever living a normal life.

Tetra-amelia syndrome is a rare disorder characterised by the absence of both arms and legs.

Aged 17 he began giving talks at a church group and went on to found a non-profit to use his experience to help others.

In 2005 Vujicic was nominated for the 'Young Australian of the Year' Award.
But the preacher and author of 'Life Without Limbs' has now found true happiness - he last week got married.
