The good news over at WSVN-Fox 7 Wednesday was that Deco Drive anchor Louis Aguirre was chosen by viewers nationwide to co-host the syndicated talk show Live With Regis And Kelly on Monday (it airs locally at 9 a.m. on WSVN). He'll work with Kelly Ripa while Regis Philbin takes the day off.
The bad news is that Aguirre's victory means another WSVN anchor, Lynn Martinez, lost. She was holed up with lawyers Wednesday, considering a challenge to the U.S. Supreme Court alleging that voters were confused by butterfly ballots, not to mention Philbin's endless stream of cosmically esoteric trivia about Notre Dame football.

MOST DEFINITELY
The 305 was right on the ball: Mos Def will be bringing The Ecstatic Tour, along with opener New Orleans rapper (and father of Erykah Badu's baby) Jay Electronica, to the Adrienne Arsht Center on Aug. 15.
In what will be the first performance by a major hip-hop act at the center, the rapper/singer/actor/artist/musician is sure to bring his, um, unique, free-spirited style to the venue.
So what type of performance will Mos actually give?
His sets at the 2008 and 2007 Rock The Bells festivals in Miami left fans puzzled with more time dedicated to jamming to his favorite soul and reggae songs than actually performing his own hits.
Then again, the Brooklyn native (real name Dante Terrell Smith) has drawn critical praise for both small-venue residencies with a four-piece band and performing arts center performances with a Frank Sinatra-esque big band in New York.
Tickets are on sale at the Arsht Center's website, and range from $32-$59.
