A little competition for Ryan
Ryan may have a little competition in the entertainment news reporting arena! Ten year old Sebastian Martinez was at the American Idol auditions in New Jersey, and after talking with some of the talent, got a hold of Ryan for a couple of questions — he did a pretty good job too.

Sebastian didn’t hold back with his questions.
SM: A couple of ladies in my family want to know, are you single?
Ryan: “I am not married, you should tell them that.”
Ryan turned the tables on Sebastian for a few seconds before saying, “maybe I should stop asking the questions…”
SM: How do you explain to a person they were bad without hurting their feelings?
Ryan: “That’s tough! One option is to lie, but you don’t want to do that, right? So you’ve got to walk that fine line of positive reinforcement with honesty, which is a tricky combination. I don’t know that I’ve mastered that myself.”
SM: How’s your bromance with Simon?
Ryan: “Well … during the audition tour, I’m so used to having a roommate. And without my roommate this time around, I’m missing my wake-up call, I’m just distraught in the gym without him spotting at bench press. So my life has changed, it’s changed a lot. I will miss him.”
SM: Enough with the rumours! Who are the new judges for the next season of American Idol?
Ryan said Sebastian is good and joked with him about beating around the bush with his question. Sebastian offered to step up for one of the vacancies, so before answering, Ryan pointed out that he and Sebastian would barely be able to see over the table.
Ryan: “We haven’t made a decision yet, so hopefully soon you will know.
Then Ryan turned the questions back around on Sebastian again; he just can’t help himself!
