Ryan Seacrest Stands on a Box To Make Up for Lack of Height

JustJared has pictures of Ryan Seacrest standing on a box while filming a segment for E! in Boston over the weekend. The guy's tiny, but standing on a box is a pretty old school way to make someone look taller. But hey, if it works... Now we just need clothing that doesn't make Kara DioGuardi look trashy, a vocabulary that doesn't make Randy Jackson sound unintelligent, and cigarettes that don't make Simon Cowell smell like a cheap British ashtray and the Idol world will be at peace (the Paula Abdul liquor jokes are too easy).

By the way, in case you're wondering, Ryan is about 5'7". He says he's 5'9" but he's a liar. A short, short liar.

Awww, how cute. Now he's just about tall enough to give Simon a bj.

He's barely 5'7! He has to be like 5'6. I met him last year when I auditioned in NYC. When I stood up from my chair, he was just slightly taller than me but barely and I'm 5'5.

Ryan Seacrest and Christian Finnegan should make babies together.

I don't notice how short he is when he is face down while I'm burying my bone.

Hahahahahahaha. I second showing this on The Soup.

I guess the shoe lifts weren't cutting it anymore. maybe he's shrinking.

I don't think he would stand on the box out of insecurity or whatever... my guess is there's a Ford or AT&;T logo in the background that could only be perfectly centered if he was a little bit taller... or a giant Coke bottle... or a promo for GLEE! OMG GLEE! GLEE GLEE GLEE! ARE YOU A GLEEk? Argh, so sick of that show even though it isn't out yet.

Badger - Back when he was just a radio DJ on Star 98, he was in a segment on the KTLA morning news with then traffic reporter Jennifer York.

They were in front of a concert venue talking about ticket sales or some crap. Ryan was being his typical d**k self and giving Jennifer a rough time. Finally, she told the cameraman to pan back. Dumb a** was standing on the curb and making her stand in the street so it wouldn't be so obvious how short he was.

I wish that clip would surface on YouTube.
