Watch New Year's Eve Times Square Ball Drop Live Online

Dick Clark & Anderson Cooper Will Be in Times Square, but Snooki was Kicked Back to the Shore

If you are wanting to watch the New Year's Eve Times Square ball drop, but can't get to a television, you can watch it live online. There are three main choices to ring in 2011, "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest", "New Year's Eve with Carson Daly" and "New Year's Eve with Anderson Cooper." One option you won't have is seeing the Snooki ball drop in Times Square at midnight.

The "Jersey Shore" reality star was banned from dropping from a ball in in Times Square on New Year's Eve. Snooki had to relocate the party back to Seaside Heights, New Jersey. The event has already occurred and was recorded as part of MTV's New Year's special.

"Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve 2011" Online

The Dick Clark Times Square New Year's Eve tradition continues, along with hosts Ryan Seacrest and Jenny McCarthy. Fergie will again be hosting the Los Angeles party.

Scheduled performances include Willow Smith, Train, Jennifer Hudson and Natasha Bedingfield.

The live show starts at 10:30 p.m. EST on ABC. It can be watched online at Right TV.

"New Year's Eve with Carson Daly"

Carson Daly will also be returning as NBC's host for New Year's Eve Times Square festivities. Joining him will be "Today Show" correspondents Natalie Morales and Amy Robach, as we wait for the ball to drop at midnight.

Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and My Chemical Romance will be performing. Daly will interview U2's Bono and The Edge.

This two and a half hour special kicks off at 10 p.m. EST.

"New Year's Eve with Anderson Cooper" Live Online

The third option to watch New Year's Eve in Times Square Live Online is CNN's Anderson Cooper's fourth special. As usual, his co-host will be comedian Kathy Griffin.

Gary Tuchman will report from Central park's annual Midnight run and John Zarrella will be broadcasting from Key West, Florida.

The main entertainment for this show is watching ever-cool Anderson Cooper alternately loosen up and blushingly giggle over Kathy Griffin's hilariously biting jokes. Of course, there is also the chance Griffin will drop the f-bomb.

This special will air live at 10 p.m. EST. It can be viewed online at CNN Live.
