"Wheel of Fortune" legend Vanna White knows the wheel would continue to spin without her, but believes there's a reason the acclaimed game show still needs her. White took a trip down memory lane recently and noted that the environment is "so energetic" as the game show enters a new era with Ryan Seacrest taking charge. "And my role on the puzzle board has changed," she told Parade. "When I first started, I had to physically turn every letter.

"I've worn over 8,000 outfits. So I think the audience likes to see if I'm wearing red today, or blue. Is it going to be elegant or short? My wardrobe is a big part of it." LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING?
