Ryan Seacrest & Lindsay Lohan: Hangin' Until the Wee Hours


Los Angeles (E! Online) – Who was that by our E! pal Ryan Seacrest's side last night?

It was none other than Lindsay Lohan.

The two apparently had a fun evening with stops at L.A.'s Chateau Marmont and then at nightclub hot spot H.Wood, where "they were laughing and talking," a source said.

And it didn't end there...

After clubbing, they went to LL's house. Paparazzi agency X17 reports that Lohan was visited by the cops at about 3:30 a.m. after neighbors apparently complained about her loud music. (A Los Angeles Police Department spokesman could not confirm the visit to us, because a noise complaint "would be too minor" for the nightwatch to record.)

Never one to let the police get in the way of having a good time, Lohan and Seacrest ditched her abode at about 4 a.m. and headed to Seacrest's place.

A couple of hours later, Linds was spotted heading back home.

What exactly went on behind the closed doors, we don't know. However, a source close to Lohan tells me that the starlet recently told friends she and Seacrest have talked about working together.

"Lindsay said they've had a couple of business meetings," the source reports. "She wants to co-produce something with Ryan, maybe a reality show or a movie."

Seacrest ain't commenting. Lohan? I'm sure we'll find out something later on Twitter.

Ryan Seacrest nears new megadeal

This is … a rich new deal for “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest.

The ubiquitous Seacrest is putting the finishing touches on a contract extension with “Idol” co-producer 19 Entertainment to continue to emcee the top series on TV.

The pact, which is believed to be for three years, will give Seacrest a major pay raise and make him one of the highest-paid reality hosts on tele¬vision. He made slightly less than $5 million this season for his work on “Idol,” which breaks down to about $100,000 per episode.

Additionally, Seacrest is said to be expanding his relationship with 19 Entertainment, possibly to develop series with 19 principal and “Idol” creator Simon Fuller.

“Idol” is produced jointly by 19, Fremantle and Fox. All declined to comment on Seacrest’s new deal, as did his attorneys at Hansen Jacobson, but the agreement is expected to be announced Monday.

Seacrest traveled to the U.K. last month and met with execs at 19 to discuss a new deal.

I think Ryan would be more at home hosting SYTYCD rather than Idol. That way he could feel up the sweaty bods of all the male dancers once they're done performing.
