Four Reasons American Idol Ratings Are Dropping Like Ryan Seacrest's Testicles

American Idol's ratings are falling to record lows, and Scott Collins of the Los Angeles Times is all over the reasons why. Collins blames the bloated two-hour charity special, Idol Gives Back; the writer's strike; generic show fatigue; the contestants; the presentation, Facebook; and CBS boss Les Moonves' undercover operatives. But that's the least of it. Here are the four real reasons the Fox talent show has finally lost its opiate-strength hold on America's masses. (Difficulty level: 9). More »

Celebrities Well Aware That You Hate Them

Ryan Seacrest, American Idol emcee and probable gay, graces the cover of Details this month, looking forlorn next to a headline that reads "Ryan Seacrest Knows What You Think of Him." It's remarkably similar to Lance Bass's January Advocate cover, which featured the pensive-looking "singer" and the sad statement that "Lance Bass Knows You Talk Trash About Him." Why the similarities? Why the self-pity?? Jossip suggests it's because, you know, "there are so few things you can say about gay people to make them sound interesting." This is true! Also, no one likes Ryan Seacrest or Lance Bass. Click here for larger image, at Jossip.

On The Radio Tim Gunn was on Ryan Seacrest's radio show this morning. Ryan has basically stopped pretending that he is not a friend of Dorothy. Topics discussed: Posh Spice, sparkly belts, and Hillary Clinton's lack of fashion savvy (again, Timmy?) At least he doesn't sound sad. [Click to listen]

Gary Busey Apologizes, Bestows Grand Praise Upon Ryan Seacrest

Poor kooky Gary Busey, who accosted celebrities like Ryan Seacrest on the Oscars red carpet, is just trying to apologize. But his crazy vapors keep muddling his mouth words so instead of just saying "I'm sorry Ryan" he calls the plastic personality "an innocent champion of honesty." He also claims that he didn't know that Ryan was in the middle of an interview. Busey, who has "an interesting odor", actually thought that he and Ryan were alone in a peaceful meadow, where truth needed championing and hugs were beautiful gifts from the gods. Video about his apology after the jump. More »

    Ryan Seacrest: His Straightest Moments

    Last night on "American Idol," Simon Cowell (he's the mean English one) made a comment that seemed to suggest something untoward about Ryan Seacrest's gender preferences—specifically, he begged him to "come out" of the closet. Whether this badinage was meant to provide levity or was another example of Cowell's foul tempered pursuit of truth, we object. Nothing we have seen over the years has ever suggested that Seacrest is anything less than a full-blooded heterosexual American male. For proof, Gawker videographer Richard Blakeley has assembled a montage of straight-acting moments. We think the results speak for themselves. More »

    Anderson Cooper Laughs Heartily At 'Brokeback Mountain' Joke

    When Robin Williams is a guest on any program, hilarity is sure to ensue! Okay, that statement hasn't been true since some point in the late seventies when the entire country was suffering through an epic Quaalude binge. But his recent appearance with Anderson Cooper at least provides Anderson with a few chuckles. We're not sure what's so funny, but maybe Anderson knows something that we don't.

    Correction: Ryan Seacrest Is Not Not Gay in Trenton

    You know how it didn't really make sense that Ryan Seacrest would be doing a live, in-studio radio interview in New Jersey? And how it didn't really make sense why, after the first time he walked out of the studio because the DJ asked about his sexuality, he would have agreed to continue the interview? Yeah, well, it now makes sense that it didn't make sense. Because it turns out it didn't actually happen. More »
