Ripping - Mad Kelly's 'Quit' Threat!

‘Live’ host tells brass SHE’S THE STAR — not Seacrest!

Ripping - Mad Kelly's 'Quit' Threat!

ENRAGED over new cohost Ryan Seacrest’s brazen bid to move “Live” to Los Angeles, daytime diva Kelly Ripa has told bosses, “I’m done!”

The National ENQUIRER has learned the popular chatfest is in chaos after Kelly, 46, told network honchos she’s fed up watching them kiss up to Ryan — and she’s not going to take it anymore!

“Kelly’s announced that if push comes to shove, she’s ready to walk,” snitched an insider close to the syndicated show.

“Kelly’s given them an ultimatum — it’s her way or the highway! “She feels that she was stabbed in the back over the whole Michael Strahan fiasco, and she’s not going to allow it to happen again!”

According to sources, Kelly exploded when Ryan pushed for “Live with Kelly and Ryan” to be moved permanently to Los Angeles to suit his schedule — after ABC announced he’ll return as host of the rebooted “American Idol” next year.

That meant Ryan, 42, would have to be in L.A. on Sunday nights to film “Idol,” then board a red-eye flight to New York to be on set for “Live” on Monday morning and host his radio show.

Apparently that was too daunting for Ryan — and he pushed for the L.A. move.

“After Ryan made his demand, network brass wanted Kelly to uproot her family and move to California,” tattled a source close to Ryan.
