Gee, who could have foreseen that JLo would be anything but a pleasure and joy to work with on the set of American Idol? Oh yeah, that's right, everyone. From the National Enquirer:
Jennifer Lopez and Ryan Seacrest are heading for a bitter showdown over their "American Idol" paychecks, sources tell The Enquirer. Ryan banks $15 million a year, while J.Lo ka-chinged a $12 million package for her first season on the hit show. But the money-savvy diva, 41, has shrewdly negotiated a pay raise for herself every time Ryan, 35, gets a salary boost, and the "Idol" host is livid, insiders say.
"Ryan hasn't confronted J.Lo, but when he heard that her future raises are tied to his raises, he was furious," and insider divulged. "Basically, her contracts are hard wired so that when Ryan makes more money, she'll make more money. He doesn't like his salary being dragged into her contract negotiations, and he's upset about her tactics."
Since J.Lo's salary is linked to his, it may be more difficult for Ryan to get a raise in the future than it would be otherwise. As the Enquirer has reported, Ryan and Jennifer were recently forced to deny widespread reports that they were feuding even before the show began. But their rivalry is very real- and long-standing, said another source connected to the show. "As far as Jenny and her people are concerned, there's no question she is the bigger star," said the source.
JLo's people think "there's no question she is the bigger star" of the two? Then why is she making $3 million less per year? The only thing bigger about JLo is her ass. These two should just settle their disagreement once and for all the way all Hollywood divas do: with a cat fight. Of course, if these two did get into a tussle, you'd have to think that Ryan would be at a distinct disadvantage: JLo would throw haymakers and he'd try to pull her hair. *25 Jennifer Lopez pictures total in the gallery:
Congrats to Ryan Seacrest's penis. It must feel like it just won the lottery. Dammit she's hot. From Us Weekly:
On Sunday, she was photographed walking arm-in-arm with American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, fueling rumors the two are an item. (pic here)
They've also been spotted getting cozy a lot lately. On May 18, they enjoyed a dinner date at Los Angeles seafood restaurant Providence. "They were really cuddly and cute ... and kissed a few times," a witness tells UsMagazine.com.
They also hit a post-CMT Music Awards bash last week in Nashville.
Says a source: "Julianne says Ryan is so nice. They hardly ever see each other because they are both so busy, but they've been on a few dates. He's really sweet to her, but it is certainly not serious."
Well excuse me Mr. Certainly Not Serious. It certainly seemed serious the other night when I was hiding naked in Julianne's crawl space taking secret pictures of you two. Hah! I just busted you Ryan!
Ryan Seacrest arriving to Trousdale nightclub in West Hollywood (4/23)
Con? Ryan Seacrest is 4'11" (estimate). Pro? Stacy Keibler doesn't care. From the National Enquirer:
Ryan Seacrest got his flirt on with former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant Stacy Keibler at Hollywood's Trousdale on April 23. The 5-foot-9 "American Idol" host must like his women tall. Stacy -- who's 5-foot-11 -- without heels -- towered over him as they danced. (Print Edition - 5/17)
Ryan doesn't need to be self-conscious about his height when he's out dancing -- he needs to be self-conscious about his height when he's waiting in line to ride a rollercoaster. Besides, Stacy will never need to worry about how short Ryan is as long as she makes sure of one thing: that she never wears her six-inch Manolo Blahnik stilettos . . . and that he always wears his.
Ryan Seacrest tried to high-five a blind guy on American Idol last night. Make sure you tune-in to tonight's episode where Simon Cowell will be asking a midget to grab a jar of peanut butter off the top shelf for him.
