Ryan Seacrest

By Seth UPDATE: Our ex-cousins at Idolator tell us Ryan Seacrest is a closet aerosol-computer-cleaner addict and this list is not trustworthy and may be completely bogus. Further, our pal in the music industry also tells us Katy Perry has a show in Florida that night. So we've all been had, and we bl...

By Kyle Buchanan Silverman popped up intermittently as a caller to best friend Ryan Seacrest’s radio show on KIIS-FM, and the two seemed to enjoy fueling speculation about their private lives.

By Kyle Buchanan Now that mogulsexual Ryan Seacrest finally has an American Idol season to start taping, he's shelved his budding bromance with NBC head Ben Silverman to get back to what he does worst: trading barbs with Simon Cowell. To kick off this latest round of homoerotic oversharing, Seacrest land...

By Kyle Buchanan Only time will tell whether Silverman is allowed to exit the NBC arena like a triumphant American Gladiator, or whether he will be cruelly pushed out and sold for parts like a ratings-challenged Bionic Woman. Sure, there's always that Entourage guest spot to fall back on, but we're starti...

By Kyle Buchanan Earlier this week Donald Trump told Ryan Seacrest that he's been getting calls from stars that want to revive their career. So far it's rumored that Khloe Kardashian, Joan and Melissa Rivers, and Dennis Rodman are going to join Donald's hit show.

By Seth But we're getting ahead of ourselves: Last night, we managed to get a freshly Emmy-nominated Kathy Griffin to sit down with us just minutes before taking the Theatre St-Denis stage for that night's comedy gala. Besides taping a special greeting just for you, dear Defamer reader, she was a...

By Molly Friedman In light of the news that Ruler of the Universe Ryan Seacrest will soon be hosting a show on NBC called Momma’s Boys, we’re both delighted that the highlighted wunderkind has decided to ignore all the inevitable backlash, and disappointed that the show will be using mere mortals as contes...

By Seth Better than good! He'll be terrific. Seacrest's duties until now have been limited to exchanging red carpet pleasantries, while occasionally offering a mascara-streaked singer who likens her "Idol journey" to the civil rights movement a shoulder to cry on. Imagine if he had access to th...

By Douglas Reinhardt Actress Sophie Monk, who's perhaps best known for dating that one guy from Good Charlotte and more recently pint size American Idol presenter Ryan Seacrest, was accosted by a homeless woman in Beverly Hills.

By mollyf Ryan Seacrest, quite possibly the hardest-working man in showbiz now that James Brown has kicked the bucket, was a last-minute no-show for last night's E! coverage of the SAG Awards Red Carpet.

By Mark Panicked that the Emmys were rapidly approaching and they hadn't yet named a host for the awards telecast, Fox has convinced American Idol master of karaoke ceremonies Ryan Seacrest to borrow one of Ellen DeGeneres' tuxedos and assume emceeing duties for Hollywood's Third- Or Fourth-...

By Seth You've by now likely heard the sad news that Merv Griffin—iconic American talk show host, hotelier, game show innovator, and, less illustriously, discoverer of Ryan Seacrest—died on Sunday at the age of 82. To honor his passing, a round-up:

By Mark Silverman raised eyebrows recently among some at NBC when he brought Seacrest into a marketing meeting. (Seacrest, you might recall, has a multimillion dollar deal at E!, not to mention a few other bits of business that have nothing to do with NBC.) We asked Silverman about Seacrest's visi...

By Mark So, to review: Kerfuffle is nonsense, dumb piece out of order/context, armed security hired to combat paparazzi hoping to capture perfect image above which an opportunistic, truth-agnostic tabloid can print AMERICAN IDOL'S NEW PAULA? in attention-grabbing 32-point typeface. Also...

By Seth In the end, all that time Ryan Seacrest exposed himself to the dangers of potential electrocution by engaging in an hours-long, open-mouth kiss with one of the Times Square ball's empty light bulb sockets was not spent in vain, as the New Year's Rockin' Eve host saw his wish granted of putt...

By Seth We realize not all of you will be out traipsing around your town this coming New Year's Eve, choosing instead to spend your final moments of 2006 in the comforts of your homes with ABC's own Father Time and Baby New Year--i.e. Dick Clark, whom they promise will be "back, live," and his bushy tai...

By Seth We got a call from a friend on Monday, who gave us this report from a Dreamgirls screening in New York: "The entire audience was gay men and straight women."
