HE'S BACK!

Brian Dunkleman has found work! The humane folks at Live With Regis and Kelly have hired the former American Idol reject to serve as a judge during its upcoming co-host talent search. The contest — which is intended to pass the time during Kelly Ripa's maternity leave — will culminate with the winner working as Regis Philbin's sidekick on the April 16 show. The victor also gets a $10,000 contract with Buena Vista Television to work on possible TV projects. Somewhere, Dunkleman is thinking, "Can I apply?"
