On Air with Ryan Seacrest 2010-02-25
Kara DioGuardi/Randy Jackson
Ryan asked Kara and Randy who they thought would be eliminated, Randy and Ryan made fun of Kara for her little Casey crush, they argued about who has the worst dressing room (Simon is automatically disqualified) and Ryan came out with some classic one-liners. I’m not saying any more because it’s a great interview that I’m assuming anyone who’s a fan of Ryan and his shows will want to listen to! Kara makes me laugh. I know she’s not the most popular judge (i.e. I don’t know anyone else who likes her), but I kinda like her.
Gabourey Sidibe
Ryan talked to Gabourey about her Oscar nomination, what she’s going to wear, her unusual fear, and her mom turning down the chance to audition for a part in the movie. Ryan also played a clip of her mom singing at a subway station. I really enjoyed this interview even though I’ve never heard of her before — she came across as funny and entertaining.
Ricky Gervais
The Short List
Ryan’s cast told him about the list of the Top 10 figures in history that make you feel better about being 5′9″ or shorter and at number one was none other than Ryan, listed at 5’8”. Ryan took exception to this, pointing out that with the right shoes he’s around 5’9”! Hey Ryan … with Simon‘s shoes you could be a good 5’11”! I’d even lend him my killer heels to tip him over 6’ if he asked nicely … they’d probably fit him better than the boots he wore on Idol on Tuesday ;)
Ryanalysis
The caller broke up with her boyfriend 4 days ago but her ex-boyfriend’s Facebook page still says they’re in a relationship … when Ryan spoke to her, it turned out that the boyfriend broke up with her, which changed the story a little. Ryan said, “I don’t profess to be an expert but I know what I’m talking about here” before explaining it all (this part of the show always makes me think of “Clarissa Explains it All” … I used to love that show!)
Ryan still afraid to commit
Sisanie has a new puppy and Ryan was talking again about getting a dog. Now he thinks he should get engaged first … if he can’t commit to a 10-15 year relationship with a dog how can he hope to commit to a lifetime with another person? I don’t know why he’d want to commit to anything other than a dog, but that’s an entirely different topic.
Ken Baker gets the hard hitting news
Sometimes I wonder how Ken Baker copes with all the hard-hitting stories he gets to investigate. Today he was talking about two ex-girlfriends of Jon Gosselin becoming besties and cackling about his shortcomings over a bottle or two of vino.
Simon in the Sleaze
Simon Cowell is a new man! His mum said there’s a glow about him and he’ll make a wonderful husband … after they sort out the prenup. Ryan said the only time he’s seen Simon glow is when he beams at the big mirror in his house as he walks by. I sincerely doubt he walks by. I imagine he stops and preens, and checks his teeth are still bright enough to be visible from space.
