Ever since the ’80s, we have known Anthony Michael Hall as Anthony Michael Hall. It turns out his name is not Anthony Michael Hall.
I have never heard that his name was anything but Anthony Michael Hall. Have you?
Well, yesterday, when Anthony Michael Hall was on Live with Kelly and Ryan, he revealed to Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest that his birth name is Michael Anthony Hall.
So, why did he switch up his first and middle names? Back when he was a kid, actors in SAG were not allowed to have the same name as someone else in the union. Therefore, his parents decided to go with Anthony Michael Hall. And the rest is Hollywood history.
I can’t believe he was able to go over 40 years without us knowing any differently. Or am I the only one who didn’t know this?
Ed Sheeran is releasing his first new studio album in four years on October 29th. So, if knowing we are getting = is not enough good news, he has more.
He was on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show this morning, and the host asked the singer if it is true that he recorded over 250 songs since ÷. “I was working on, I’ve got another album that comes out after this one,” he said. “So I was basically working on two records at once. So there are a lot of songs flying around.”
Sheeran didn’t say when it was coming out, but I will gratefully accept any new music from him. He records more good songs than bad ones, and how many artists can you say that about today?
I wonder if he will title that album – since he already used +, x, ÷, and =.
Ryan Seacrest has been the host of American Idol for 20 years now, but he doesn’t sing on the singing competition show like everyone else. There is a reason why. And today, we found out on Live with Kelly and Ryan.
What is that reason? He can’t sing. Seacrest decided to belt out Mike Post’s Believe It or Not, the theme song from The Greatest American Hero (the greatest theme song of all time), and it was really bad. Like ringing in your ears bad. He hit such high notes; I was wondering how tight his pants are.
Even Ryan Reynolds was like, I wouldn’t wish this experience on my worst enemy Hugh Jackman.
But, at least Seacrest got really into it, and that is something positive.
Before Ryan Seacrest hosted everything, he auditioned to host MTV’s TRL when he was a college student at the University of Georgia. He told Katie Lowes on Live with Kelly and Ryan yesterday that he thought he was going to get that job. He didn’t.
So, let’s imagine if he did. Then chances are, he never would have gotten the job on American Idol. That means he would not be the mega host that he is today. Damn you, MTV.
But wait, there is a reason why we also want to curse them out for not giving it to him. That is because things came full circle when he pitched The Kardashians to the guy who was responsible for him not getting hired, and he bought it.
Maybe if that guy worked with Seacrest, he never would have had taken a meeting with him, and we would never have gotten to known The Kardashians.
When one failed audition could have saved us so much grief. FU MTV for not making him the host of Total Request Live.
