“Last night the judges were thrown a curve ball on the air, which is just part of a live show. But it sparked a lot of gossip about Paula. And I read some of this online this morning and just for the record, the rumors — they’re not true. She’s part of our family and we love her.”

- Ryan Seacrest defending Paula Abdul on last night’s American Idol after she mistakenly critiqued two songs by Jason Castro - even though he only sang one - sparking rumors that she may have been lit up during the show.

Wouldn’t you find it odd if 10 of the 20 finalists in last year’s American Idol songwriting contest had previous relationships with either Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, American Idol bandleader Rickey Minor, host Ryan Seacrest, or others connected to the show?

I thought so.

According to American Idol Exposed it seems a contest that is supposed to be for songwriting amateurs is hardlythat.

Just read a little about the winner…

American Idol Songwriting Contest Champ Scott Krippayne’s true bio. At Walmart.com, you can buy Scott’s 2005 “Gentle Revolution” CD for the low price of only $12.88. I’ve been to Walmart and looked, there isn’t an amateur CD section, but there is a Scott Krippayne section.

So much for searching for a great undiscovered songwriting talent.

And if you visit the U.S. copyright website, a quick search shows Scott Krippayne has written songs for several christian artist like Jaci Velasquez, Rebecca Saint James, Kathy Troccoli, Point of Grace and more.

And if you check out Scott’s Purplehonda myspace page, Scott says he has written 14 number 1 hits and 20 top 10 hits for artist like John Tesh, Ronan Tynan, Saddi Patty and more.

The real unfortunate part of the contest is that there is a $10 entry fee. After 25,000 entries, do the math, that’s a lot of money. So basically American Idol will simply rob you of your cash if you are naive enough to enter.

American Idol is over. It sucks. It had it’s heyday and it’s played out. It’s not as funny or entertaining as it once was.

That show is making moolah hand over fist, so what are they doing taking money from the fans who made it what it is?

It’s a bunch of sh*t. Just like the show.

Check out this little video of Extra’s Terri Seymour (who also happens to be Simon Cowell’s longtime girlfriend) interviewing Ryan Seacrest at a Details magazine party.

She’s basically trying to get him to admit that he’s banging Holly Huddleston from Sunset Tan, which is Hollywood’s worst-kept secret these days, but he refuses to do it.

Watch at the very end, when Ryan says to Terri — under his breath and without moving his lips — “Sorry about that.”

Interesting.

‘Nuff said.

I can’t stop laughing.

I know I have a habit of picking these random D-listers to fall in love with, but I absolutely adore Holly Huddleston, of “Olly Girls” fame. I love both of them. Holly and Molly. I just think they’re adorable and funny and cute and I want to put them in my pocket and have them jump out to say dumb things in a cute voice when I’m sad.

But here’s Hollywood’s best-kept secret: Holly’s actually quite bright. As is Ryan Seacrest.

And now word on the street is that they’ve been secretly dating for months.

InTouch Weekly is reporting that Holly’s been spotted cuddling with Ryan backstage at American Idol tapings.

Oh, oh, I hope this is true! They’d be really cute together, and it would extend Holly’s 15 minutes a little further. I want her to stick around!

Gary Busey made a call to Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM show this morning to explain why he interrupted his interview last night on the red carpet of the Oscars. Listen to it here. This dude is weird. If Gary started talking to me, I’d have a shank ready in one of my hands.

“What I wanted to do. When I first saw you working I thought, ‘Who is this guy?’ I thought, ‘Oh god this isn’t going to work.’ And then, you captured me… You are to me ,when you are working, an innocent champion of honesty. Your heart has a way to embrace the truth in your delivery without looking like you are reading from the script. Everything looks spontaneous and… Spontaneity comes from an invisible idea that is there before the creation begins and you have that naturally. So, I just wanted to pay you the compliment. I wanted to talk to you about other things. I didn’t know you were in the middle of an interview and I was just moving through there. Your eyes looked like a deer in headlights. [Woman starts talking] Who are you? [Explains who she is. Ryan and Gary talk some more. Same woman starts talking again.] Who’s talking now?”

Psst, Ryan. I think he’s trying to ask you out.

Last night, Ryan Seacrest tried to conduct an interview with Jennifer Garner and Laury Linney on the red carpet when an attention whoring Gary Busey suddenly appeared and shouted, “I’ve been looking for you for years!” A stunned Ryan didn’t know what to do as Gary Busey introduced himself to Laura with a handshake and a kiss on the check and then introduced himself to Jennifer with a kiss on the neck. Garner was taken aback; as anyone would be when they realize were just molested by Gary Busey.

Sadly, Gary Busey was able to do what judges have ordered me not to do. That is to go out in public. If anyone is more deserving of this ankle monitor and the 24/7 sniper stationed on the roof of the house across from me, it would be him.

Victoria Beckham, who I will forever refer to as Posh Spice, has been voted the sexiest mother by designers and executives at Victoria’s Secret. I’m not sure I look at those melons she has disguised as breasts and her neon orange glow and come up with sexy. Perhaps they meant skinniest mother? Scariest mother? The mother with a name similar to our company name?

Victoria’s Secret executives and designers have voted Posh Spice the world’s sexiest mum.

Victoria Beckham joins stars Eva Mendes, Josh Holloway, and American Idol host Ryan Seacrest on the lingerie company’s 2008 What Is Sexy? list.

The team of executives and designers who compiled the list looked for attributes such as “passion and humour and style and charisma”.

I suspect that Posh only beat Angelina Jolie by the tiniest of margins (about as wide as her teeny waist) and soon will need to pass her crown to Halle Berry.

Is there too much pressure on mothers to be yummy mummies? Posh went into hiding during the later, larger months of her pregnancies, so she wouldn’t be seen as fat. Women all over the world would line up to see that tiny woman fat. I mean, pregnant. Fat would be more fun though. It must be nice for Victoria to get called the sexiest mother, as it can’t be easy maintaining that lithe physique.

Other sexy celebs, according to Victoria’s Secret, include Ryan Seacrest for his smile, Eva Mendes was sexiest actress (not as good an an Oscar but better than a kick in the teeth), and Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley were sexiest newlyweds.

What, no purple vest? No sequined belt? A shirt totally devoid of a snarky witticism?

Is Ryan Seacrest okay?

Also: is it just me, or is he putting on weight?
