Ryan Seacrest parties with Simon Cowell

A few details about Simon Cowell’s 50th birthday are starting to get out, and it seems there are a few things that Ryan hasn’t mentioned on twitter or his radio show yet… hopefully he’ll have more to say than ‘The party was fun’ when he’s over the jet lag!

The New York Post and Daily Mail are reporting that Ryan was mock whipped on stage.

Earth, Wind & Fire performed, and a burlesque dance troupe brought pretty boy Seacrest to the stage, where he was playfully whipped on the backside with a feathered crop.

As the evening wore on, some guests were sure they saw American Idol host Ryan Seacrest get dragged up on to the stage and whipped by a dancer dressed as a dominatrix. It was that kind of party.

Daily Mail

Who cares if it’s true or not … I’m going to enjoy the mental imagery!

Radar Online details a touching moment between Ryan and his buddy Simon:

Among the special moments observed during an evening that started at 8 p.m. and went until almost dawn were Simon and Ryan Seacrest hugging each other while an uncanny Frank Sinatra impersonator belted out “New York, New York,”

That sounds adorable – I’d love to see a photo or a videoclip of that! Word is Simon stayed sober all night, so it probably wasn’t even drunken hugging, just a genuine show of bromance. (Though I’m wondering how long it’ll take until the ‘New York’ Ryan/Simon fanfic turns up in my Seacrest blog alerts… )

Funniest report so far about Ryan has to be from The Celebrity Channel:

Simon, of course, remained impeccably well behaved throughout, though with topless exotic dancers, Ryan Seacrest in drag and, bizarrely, some giant inflatable female genitalia all making an appearance, we’re guessing he had some explaining to do when it came to his 84-year-old mum Julie.

Ryan Seacrest in drag I’d pay good money to see that … I’m assuming this is the ‘Whispers/Telephone’ version of him getting mock whipped, but who knows what Ryan gets up to when there’s nobody looking (other than 400 of Simon’s friends and a bunch of paparazzi hovering nearby). It should be fun to see how outrageous the story gets in subsequent retellings.
