Earlier this summer, ABC announced that Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Bobby Bones will all be back on American Idol next year. However, there was one name missing from the list and of course, it is AI original Ryan Seacrest.
Today, after months of is he or isn’t he, we finally got our answer. The host is going to Hollywood! He had this to say about embarking on his 18th season with the show, “It’s the greatest gift to be able to play a part in discovering new talent with a franchise that has been such a relevant part of American culture for so many years.”
Are you happy he is back or were you looking forward to a change? I was hoping they would have gotten a new host. It needs to grow up now that the singing competition is no longer a minor.
We know that Kelly Ripa is obsessed with taking the perfect Belfie. Today on Live with Kelly and Ryan, she tries to teach Ryan Seacrest how to do it. She did not use her technique. Instead, she used the models’ perfect guide for the lesson.
How did he do? I like a man with a good butt, butt this made me reconsider that. It was not necessarily his fault. It was just that those instructions were hard to follow. Even Ripa could not do it.
You can say they both literally became the butt of all jokes. Which means this is so much fun to watch as they make fools of themselves for laugh.
Milo Ventimiglia was on Live with Kelly and Ryan this morning. While he was there, he posed for a photo with Ryan Seacrest and Lisa Rinna. Deciding to be cute, he gave the camera a little wink. However, I don’t see the caring dad from This Is Us here, I see a younger version of Popeye without his pipe, sailor’s cap and spinach.
Therefore, if they ever think of bringing back the cartoon for a second time as a live-action movie, then he would be perfect for the lead role.
ABC announced today that Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, Katy Perry and Bobby Jones will all be back on American Idol next year. However, there was one name missing from that group. It is Ryan Seacret. The only on-air talent who has been with the show since the beginning.
Does that mean he is making like his catchphrase and Seacrest out? Karey Burke
President, ABC Entertainment, said, “We are in ongoing conversations with Ryan and we hope he will be returning.”
No reason was given for the delay, but I am sure it is a money issue. Does he really need more of it? He hosts and produces so many shows, what it is going to do with all of that dough? The other reason, I am assuming for the delay, is that he does not want to be traveling back and forth from New York to Los Angeles every week for the singing competition show.
If he does leave Idol, it makes you wonder what his future with Live with Kelly and Ryan will be. Most TV contracts are three years and this is his third year on the morning talk show. I would not be surprised if he left at the end of his contract. The same way it was hard for me as an NYer to live in Atlanta, I am sure it is hard for that boy from Atlanta to live in NYC.
The Rock is starring with Jason Statham and Idris Elba in Hobbs & Shaw, that is out tomorrow. Today, when he was on Live with Kelly & Ryan, Maria Menounos wanted to know who would put up a better fight in real life.
After some thought, he said it would be Elba. Why? DJ explained, “He’s a skilled martial artist and he is the second sexiest man alive.” Who is the first? Blake Shelton, of course…not. Dwayne Johnson always will be. Look at that man whose muscles show through his suit. However, we cannot see his biggest muscle. Not that one, naughty person. His heart is the hugest one of them all.
