[::maroma::]

how has he replaced all those old fogies? Seacrest is just another one in the line. Maybe he'll be around as long as those guys, maybe not. He's definitely no legend.

3/7/06

Ryan Seacrest officially kicks off his role as lead anchor and managing editor of E! News on Monday, March 13 at 7:00 PM ET/PT. Seacrest has set up shop at the network's Wilshire Blvd. headquarters, and begins his new E! News job one week after wrapping the network's Oscar Red Carpet coverage. In his new role, Seacrest will anchor the most comprehensive celebrity news coverage on television brought to you by the only network dedicated exclusively to entertainment – 24/7.

Working alongside E! News co-anchor Giuliana DePandi, Seacrest will lead the E! News team in doing what they do best – bring entertainment fans the latest news out of Hollywood. From interviews with your favorite stars to up-to-the-minute scoops on the newest trends, award shows moments, celebrity unions and break ups – it's all on E!

Seacrest's E! News duties are one of the prominent features of his comprehensive agreement with E! signed in January 2006. That agreement calls for the international broadcast megastar to develop and produce multiple series projects, serve as Executive Producer of E!'s Live From the Red Carpet , and host a series of interview specials for the network via his Ryan Seacrest Productions (RSP) banner. And the deal has already proven itself successful as Seacrest made a huge splash at E! as Master of Ceremonies and executive producer on E!'s Live From the Red Carpet: Golden Globe Awards telecast in January. He then produced and worked the red carpet on the LRC: Screen Actors Guild Awards special, which earned a 1.37 national rating from Nielsen, representing a 99% jump in household viewing from the 2005 broadcast, becoming E!'s highest-rated Red Carpet: SAG Awards program ever.

In staking out his claim as one of Hollywood 's hardest working stars, Seacrest will continue as host of the iconic talent showcase that put him on the international map, Fox's top-rated "American Idol," and will serve as a fill-in host for CNN's top-rated "Larry King Live" nightly talk show. For his radio career, a new state-of-the-art studio is currently under construction at E! Networks to house the world's most popular radio countdown show, "American Top 40" and Seacrest's chart-topping L.A. morning drive-time radio show for Clear Channel, 102.7 KIIS-FM.

Ryan Seacrest

Seacrest will move over to ABC in a multi-year deal to occupy the co-host post and eventually take over as sole host when Clark decides to step down.

With "American Idol," his radio shows On Air with Ryan Seacrest and American Top 40, as well as his many specials and award shows throughout the year, he is able to reach millions of American eyes and ears.

Seacrest took over for Casey Kasem counting down American Top 40 every week on the nations top radio stations. American Top 40 is an institution in the radio world, and with Seacrest taking the reigns; it is broadcast on more stations in larger markets than ever before. Since Seacrest's debut, American Top 40 has more than doubled its listeners to millions per show. Radio stations nationwide are able to access the show via satellite or the Internet, insuring the most up to the minute music chart information.

Seacrest also took over the most coveted radio position in Los Angeles on its Top 40 radio powerhouse 102.7 KIIS-FM morning show.

Seacrest played a huge role in bringing this medium to people's attention during the second season of "American Idol."

Currently Seacrest is a part owner at Katana, Sushi Roku and Boa. The R Line is a clothing venture with JEM sportswear which launched last summer. He received a lot of feedback and attention for wearing shirts by his own design on “American Idol.” The response was so immense, that it was a natural progression for him to expand and develop a clothing line so that the masses could experience his cool, relaxed, and stylish fashion sense. R Line t-shirts are being sold in high-end boutiques throughout the nation.

American Idol silly. If he was on Queer Eye you really think we would be wondering if he was gay?

He's an over rated insecure, mean spirited closeted queen.

Ryan Seacrest Goes Too Far



If your Golden Globes viewing experience seemed a bit empty you have one man and one man only to blame: Ryan Seacrest. Sure you still had the incoherent, drunken Joan to watch, but you know, deep down, you longed for the original Claymate herself, Kathy Griffin. So who really got our dear Kathy off the red carpet?

Hot Stuff has learned that Ryan Seacrest, 31, got comic Kathy Griffin, 44, axed from her hosting gig on E! Says a source, "Kathy has been awful to him" in her stand-up act, so when Seacrest finalized a new deal with the network (worth $21 million over three years), he made sure Griffin got the boot. Her red-carpet replacement? Seacrest, natch!
Even though we know you’re secretly one of us (a Kathy Griffin fan! What did you think we meant?), you’re now on our **** list, Mr. Highlights. But don’t worry about us, we’re peaceful people. Griffin, on the other hand, will probably beat the crap out of you next time she runs into you at the tanning salon.

In all seriousness, this will only supply her with an entire episode’s worth of material for the next season of My Life on the D-list. We can’t wait.
