Site buzz July 2010

This month it seems there’s one topic that everybody has been searching the site for: Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough. The same is true of our twitter feed and headlines page — nine of the top ten click throughs were to articles relating to Ryan and Julianne.

Ryan’s Vacation

Most of the vacation articles we added to the headlines page were about the photographs of Ryan kissing Julianne or leaving a $10k tip, but we had more important things to hold our attention: new shirtless photos of Ryan! Obviously this was polite appreciation for the results of Ryan’s pre-vacation juicing obsession and not shameless ogling … and we weren’t alone in our ogling appreciation as it was one of the most clicked on links this month.

Larry King Live

Larry King announced he was leaving CNN, adding that he thought Ryan would be his ideal replacement, it seemed everyone had an opinion. Speculation continued the whole time Ryan was out of the country, but on his return he said he was flattered by Larry’s comments, but didn’t appear to have much interest in taking over.

American Idol

American Idol auditions are underway and searches for Idol news are starting to increase in volume. Ryan attended the Milwaukee auditions and had a couple of interviews on local radio just before going out to do his intro and give contestants a pep talk. We’ve had quite a lot of searches for “who is replacing Simon Cowell”, but we don’t have an answer to that one! Ryan hinted before his vacation that he knows something, but hasn’t given anything away.

Ryan Seacrest Productions

We’ve heard about a couple of new shows recently, but the one people have been searching our site for is The Incurables. Ryan has talked about it briefly on his radio show and interviewed Paul McKenna. More information: NOW CASTING: New Show Seeks To End Life-Ruining Compulsions & Phobias
