Ryan Seacrest Giving Katie Couric a Run for Larry King's Anchor Chair?

It's unclear if The Scoop's Courtney Hazlett knows Larry King renewed his contract with CNN through 2010 or whether she just chose to overlook it in favor of the deal's loophole, which doesn't guarantee King his 9pm timeslot, but she's pushing rumors that Ryan Seacrest is planning to take over for King, supposedly, in 2009. Which, um, would be impossible? Not according to a CNN source, who claims the American Idol host is in "serious negotiations" to assume hosting duties by year's end.

Either way, the gossip mill chum isn't good news for Katie Couric, whose camp has been putting out feelers for the King slot for months.

Update: Worth noting: This isn't the first time MSNBC gossip Hazlett has run into trouble with her reporting (but when haven't us gossips?). As the Observer notes, she had to have her story about James Frey pulled from the website on Thursday because it was based on false info.
