Ryan Seacrest’s $15 Million: He’s Earned It! Seriously!

13 July 2009 11:08 AM, PDT | From MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news

Though the ratings for “American Idol” have been down a bit, that’s hardly Ryan Seacrest’s fault, which is probably why he was able to sign a three-year contract extension worth $45 million, making him the richest reality show host on the market.

In the 2007 film “Knocked Up,” Seacrest (playing himself) goes on a rant about how many jobs he has. “I don’t understand the young talent in this town — I’ve got four jobs! Hell, I’m more famous than half the people we talk to anyway!” The guy actually undershoots his target: Between “Idol,” his on-air gig at E!, his two radio shows (the daily “On the Air With Ryan Seacrest” and the weekly “American Top 40″) and his production duties on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” “Bromance” and “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated,” his schedule is pretty well packed.

But he’s certainly well compensated. And you know what?

In early 2008, MTV News received a pitch from a writer named Rebecca White, who said she was good friends with Debbie Rowe, the mother of Michael Jackson's first two children (Michael Joseph Jr., a.k.a. Prince Michael, and Paris and his wife for more than three years. White said she had been invited to Rowe's horse ranch near Palmdale, California, and that Rowe was interested in doing an on-camera interview.

Obviously, we were interested in making it happen.

So, on April 6, we sent White and a crew to Rowe's ranch. To be honest, we didn't know what we'd find when we got there. Since divorcing from Jackson in 1999, Rowe had retreated to the dusty hills, having granted custody of the

Chace Crawford Tops Rob Pattinson for "Hottest Bachelor" Mantle

17 June 2009 8:15 AM, PDT | From E! Online | See recent E! Online news

Carrie Underwood was clearly not on the voting panel. Neither, no doubt, was any member of the Twilight nation. Gossip guy Chace Crawford was named People's Hottest Bachelor in the magazine's latest of its unending tributes to eye candy, beating out the likes of Chris Pine, Shia Labeouf, Adam Lambert and—horror of horrors—Robert Pattinson for the top spot. What the list lacks in A-listers (it's not nearly as loaded with established star power as the mag's Most Beautiful or Sexiest Man Alive roll calls), it more than makes up for in controversy. Among those bachelors whose hotness was deemed less incendiary than Crawford: Pattz's Twilight costar Kellan Lutz along with 90210...

Ryan Seacrest Claims Rain 'Reduced Competition' at 'American Idol' Season 9 Audition

14 June 2009 11:07 PM, PDT | From Celebrity Mania | See recent Celebrity Mania news

The first round of auditions for "American Idol" season 9 was kicked off at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts on Sunday, June 14. The rain and unseasonable cold winds didn't stop thousands of "Idol" hopefuls from auditioning for the popular singing contest. Ryan Seacrest, the host of the show, said that the "bad weather may have been a plus for contestants because it likely reduced competition".

Joining the audition were an estimated 7,000 contestants from all over New England and as far away as North Carolina. Some of them have shown up at 3 A.M. to grab a place in line and practiced their songs which would be performed in front of the judges.

One of the Rhode Islanders, 18-year-old Stephanie Lariviere who has just graduated from Cumberland High School, was invited to a second-round audition in Boston this summer for the hit Fox television show. "It's exciting, it's great to hear. I wasn't expecting it.

During his "Star Spangled Banner" performance at Los Angeles' Staples Center, Kris who is the winner of "American Idol" season eight was accompanied by the basketball players from both the Lakers and Magics. Both of the team wore their jersey outfits, the Lakers in white and the Magics in blue, while Kris appeared with all-black clothes.

This is not the first time the NBA recruit Idol alum as a musical guest at their event. Since 2004, Kelly Clarkson, David Cook, Ruben Studdard, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks and Jordin Sparks have all sung at the game.

The NBA Finals: Where Kris Allen Happens

6 June 2009 7:45 AM, PDT | From E! Online | See recent E! Online news

Singing and competition are in the air again, but this time everyone's expecting Kris Allen to be a winner. That's because the season eight American Idol champ is singing the National Anthem before Sunday night's game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Orlando Magic. Allen's far from the first Idol winner to get the nod during the basketball championship series, with previous such anthem-izers including Kelly Clarkson, David Cook, Ruben Studdard, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks and Jordin Sparks. Let's just hope he's learned a lesson from Tyrese's "Star-Mangled Banner" incident last month and plays it straight instead of changing the lyrics to boost the...
