RYAN GETS RID OF RIPA!

Flees controlling co-host to cash in at troubled GMA

- 

BELITTLED Ryan Seacrest has finally escaped his control-freak TV partner Kelly Ripa, and insiders say he’s on to bigger and better things at Good Morning America!

GMA has been racked by a shocking sex scandal, and network honchos are said to see squeaky-clean Ryan as the perfect person to bring it back to respectability.

“It’s a great fit for Ryan and the perfect fix for GMA, which is looking to restore its family-friendly reputation!” snitches one tipster.

As National ENQUIRER readers know, sources say Ryan, 48 — who was the driving force behind megahit shows American Idol and Keeping Up with the Kardashians — bristled at his secondary role to daytime diva Kelly, 52, who is replacing him on Live! with her hubby, Mark Consuelos.
