NEW YORK (AP) -- Steven Cojocaru is looking for another kidney transplant after the first donated kidney had to be removed due to infection.
Cojocaru, a correspondent for syndicated TV shows "Entertainment Tonight" and "The Insider," received a kidney from a friend in January. That kidney was removed in June after it became infected with a virus that can afflict transplant recipients and lead to eventual loss of the organ.
The red carpet mainstay says the virus is now gone, leaving him in proper shape for a new transplant. He is seeking the right donor match.
"Now I feel 100 percent," Cojocaru tells Us Weekly in an interview. "I'm alive and kicking and concentrating on buying my fall wardrobe!"
