ALI GETS UP "EARLY"

She's an "American Gladiator" co-host by night, but during the day Laila Ali's going the path of TV journalism. The former pro boxer is joining CBS's The Early Show as a contributing correspondent starting Friday, Jan. 11.

"I'll be doing pieces that are inspiring. I hope people walk away from what they see feeling good," Ali, 30, told PEOPLE. "It's going to be a lot of fun."

"She's a great addition to the The Early Show team," says senior executive producer Shelley Ross. "She has been a dedicated educator and author in areas of heath and fitness. She has a spiritual side, while being a fearless competitor."

Fearless, maybe. But don't look to see Ali doing any "Gladiator" moves. "Doing a bunch of different challenges and having TV involved, it's not my type of thing. It's more fun commentating and watching them from the sidelines.

Boxing champ Laila Ali wed retired NFL star Curtis Conway in L.A. on Sunday, PEOPLE reports.

Among the 200 guests were Laila's parents, Muhammad Ali and Veronica Porsche Anderson, along with her sister Hana Ali, who was a bridesmaid. Conway's twin sons, Kelton and Cameron, 12, were the ringbearers while his daughter Leilani, 8, stepped in as the flowergirl.

"Laila's approach to the wedding was simple but elegant," says wedding coordinator Juliet Ryan. "There were no lions and tigers and bears. It was about the love."
