We don't particularly care about the Oscars or what people are wearing or any of that crap. Ryan Seacrest does care. So to see him get pranked by Sacha Baron Cohen and have an urn of fake ashes dumped on him is pretty hilarious. Ryan just stands there as if waiting for someone to do something because he's not sure what to say. What do you think of the prank? (via Rickey.org)

In the American Idol is depserately trying to get into the news by planting stories department, it's being noted that American Idol 11 is Ryan Seacrest's last year of his 3 year $45 million deal. Since the show isn't nearly as hot as it was 3 years ago, he couldn't get that much money anymore. And with the possibility of moving to "The Today Show", does he even need Idol anymore? It's a sick catch-22, Idol probably wouldn't survive without Ryan, and Ryan's career will probably start to fade out without Idol.

Do you think this story is real or is Idol just looking for publicity? And would Idol survive without Ryan?

Ryan Seacrest announced on his radio show that the Idol producers will apologize tonight for Steven Tyler's "outrageous" behavior. What? This sounds like a publicity stunt since Steven Tyler hasn't done anything outrageous at all. He's just hitting on contestants and saying stupid things, which everyone loved in Paula and everyone still loves in Steven. So we're pretty sure this is all Ryan Seacrest's attempt at a joke... and it's lame. 

So we'll save you the time - don't watch the show tonight. This is clearly an attempt to get people to watch the show and it's just a joke. And if it's not, it's even lamer.

The rumors about Jennifer Lopez's diva attitude continue. Now, according to In Touch, she's apparently arguing about whether she or Ryan Seacrest get top billing on this upcoming season of Idol.

Jennifer, 41, and Ryan, 35, have begun a power struggle over everything from dressing rooms to which star gets top billing. “Ryan was the one who first suggested Jennifer, but now he’s starting to regret it, because she’s acting like she’s a much bigger star than he is,” the insider says.

We're hoping Jennifer is actually a raging bitch, because then maybe this season won't suck.
