Idol 11: slumber party (audio)

Ryan Seacrest's photo With the #Idol judges now...season 11 premieres tonight 8/7c! Who wants to get in this huddle??
Ryan Seacrest on WhoSay

Ryan got together with his fellow Idol stars, producers and a few significant others to watch the season 11 premiere this week. They ordered room service in Steven’s room — which Ryan’s going to say something more about after Steven’s vacated the room — and they were all in sweats. Except Ryan, who stayed in uniform (no doubt in case of an unexpected hosting emergency), and Steven who was dressed like a hippy grandmother in his usual rock star fashion.

On Thursday’s radio show, he played clips of some of the more memorable moments from a great season premiere including an aspiring Ryan Seacrest. To a Seacrest fan, he maybe didn’t sound or look so much like Ryan, but if the cloning and time extension research programmes are stalled right now, Ryan could hire him as a stand in for those appearances he really doesn’t have time for. People DO look and sound different on TV …

Don’t forget: there’s a third premiere week episode of American Idol tonight at 10P/7P on Fox after the NFC game.
