Ryan Seacrest

By Mark Graham When Clay Aiken showed up on the cover of People this week announcing to the world that he is, in fact, a gay American, most of us —save the Claymates— processed the relatively unsurprising news and went about our lives. However, while on the radio this morning, Ryan Seacrest couldn't help g...

By Kyle Buchanan On the topic of likes and dislikes, Fey said that when she hears the expression "President Palin," she thinks to herself, "I want to be done playing this lady Nov. 5."

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 Nick Malis There are some tastes that go great together: chocolate and peanut butter, peanut butter and jelly, peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. There are even some tastes that go great together that don’t involve peanut butter, and one of them might just be Paris Hilton and Ryan Seacrest! Yes, 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 Mark Graham 4:34pm: Seacrest just asked the question that's on the mind of every man who glances at Jessica Alba these days: "Will you be breastfeeding?" We didn't know you had it in ya, Seacrest. Keep it up! 3:44pm: Quoth Ryan Seacrest: "a uk producer's head is in my crotch. his head is in between my legs."...

By Seth · Ryan Seacrest managed to get an interview with a half-asleep Britney on his radio show yesterday morning, where she outlined the media-blitz campaign to support her latest release: "Um...We watched a movie." Another highlight was this classic exchange in response to Britney's descript...

By Mark Today, the creative dream team of American Idol host/tireless megaproducer Ryan Seacrest and America's Got Talent judge/off-key finale-stealer David Hasselhoff have announced their promising collaboration on Tales From the Hoff, a scripted E! series that should provide a much-n...

By Seth We enjoy nothing more on the day after the Emmys than to check in with Bravo executive Andy Cohen, on whom we can invariably rely for an uncensored, eyewitness take on the proceedings. Sadly, there is none of the ebullient, "Wowza!!!!!!" -chanting Andy of nomination day in today's post, as...

By Seth Asked whether there might be a performance of the Emmy-nominated song "Dick in a Box," originally performed by Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg on NBC's "Saturday Night Live," Seacrest said Emmy producers are in talks with Timberlake -- whose scheduling would be tricky since he has a...

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 Seth Amazingly, the no's are beating the yes's 2:1, leading us to suspect that ex-girlfriend Shana Wall's claims in the same issue that "Ryan is not gay, nor is he bisexual...We had an amazing and passionate relationship for a few years, and we are still very close" may have had undo sway over the ga...

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." Indeed, Dreamgirls (our favorite movie of the year -- our being mine, I'll give the guys a break on this one) is the gayest romp since Heat...

By Seth · Tonight (7-26) @ Koi - Ryan Seacrest, gayer than ever working the sushi bar. In shocking news his tips were not frosted. Saturday @ The W Hotel · sat 07/22 Pharrell Williams outside the Cheesecake Factory in Beverly Hills, taking pictures with fans. not as short as i'd imagined, but wiry

By Seth At first, we assumed this cluster of discarded standees in the Fox hallways (captured by The WOW Report boys while there on a pitch) offered the inadvertently hilarious juxtaposition of Ryan Seacrest's upper body with Paris Hiton's stilletoed gams, instantly rendering the host of the...

By Seth If one were to amass into one volume every telling instance in which E! Network nancy boy Ryan Seacrest inadvertently opened his mouth and let a handbag fall out, the result, The Big Book Of Ryan Seacrest Sexuality-Betraying Slips, would be a gargantuan tome. Such scholarship would invol...

By Mark We really, really didn't want to have to think about Ryan Seacrest again today, but a news bulletin arriving from the Extra publicity department concerning a mishap the Idol host suffered when he decided to sit on a glass table not rated to support his less-than-burly frame have ruined an...

By Mark Earlier this month, Teri Hatcher sobbed into Oprah's warm, smothering bosom about how her short-lived, much-photographed relationship with American Idol host Ryan Seacrest ended the moment the photographer he hired to "stumble" upon them kissing uncomfortably gave him the thumbs...

By Mark Just in case you missed yesterday's Oprah [Ed.note--When the purge comes, you'll be the first sacrificed for your unspeakable sin.], Teri Hatcher bravely revealed (see clip above) that her "relationship" with Ryan Seacrest ended an hour after paparazzi famously snapped a completely u...

By Mark Emboldened by his highly successful publicity stunt to solidify rumors of his heterosexuality by being photographed unconvincingly kissing Teri Hatcher near a Malibu biker bar, a cocky Ryan Seacrest posed uncomfortably with two Playmates at Hugh Hefner's recent 80th birthday part...

By Seth A tight-lipped Teri Hatcher appears to be suffering from a case of buyer's remorse since her face-sucking demo with American Idol boy-masseur/waste of 21 million E! dollars Ryan Seacrest. We just wish Hatcher would follow her heart, naysayers be damned: As far as we're concerned, the fa...

By Mark This weekend's LAT Hot Property column reported the sale of Kevin Costner's Hollywood Hills spread to American Idol Ryan Seacrest for $11.5 million, a passing of the luxury real estate baton from fading movie star to inexplicably popular, general-use TV host. A brief rundown of the estat...

By Seth The competition was fierce on American Idol last night. Not the singing--just give it to Katharine McPhee already--but the ongoing "No, YOU'Re gayer" slapfest between two of the swishiest allegedly heterosexual males on primetime TV, Simon "Bitch in a Muscle Shirt" Cowell and Ryan "Bo...

By Mark The best was when Seacrest came out with the food looking for a place to sit. At first their were no seats available so some random dude offered to share his seat with Seacrest. Seacrest was confused if the man was getting up, but once he realized that the guy wanted to dine with him and Teri he pol...

By Mark Variety had news of the deal a couple of weeks ago, but today the E! network officially announced its multifaceted pact with Ryan Seacrest, a clear signal that the channel is on its way towards the cessation of all non-Seacrest-related programming: Seacrest will be executive producer o...

By Seth An ABC publicity photo promoting their annual depressing-party-in-a-box, New Year's Rockin' Eve, is causing controversy for having Photoshopped in a smiling, fully upright, pre-stroke Dick Clark next to co-hosts Hilary Duff and Ryan Seacrest: [T]he image of the 76-year-old Clark...

By Mark And in news that is certainly unrelated to Griffin's puzzle-piece-related shitcanning, E! has broken open its piggy bank and showered ubiquitous asexual (ahem) show-hosting presence Ryan Seacrest with its shiny pennies to anchor E! News Live and develop high-quality programs (fir...
