Yes, you read that sentence correctly. Ryan Seacrest is in SERIOUS negotiations to take over Larry King’s show.

A source from within CNN says that Seacrest, who has filled in for his friend Larry King in the past, is involved in “serious negotiations” to take over “Larry King Live” around year’s end. King told The New York Times in April 2007 that Seacrest would be his first choice to take over the show when the time came.

Ryan and Larry… almost the same thing. Makes complete sense to me. Where does that leave Idol I wonder.

Clay Aiken fans, this post is for you! Here is your boy performing live on Good Morning America.

I am slowly falling in love with this girl. Leona Lewis sang on American Idol last night and stole the show.

I heard this rumor a long time ago, but never a quote from Paula Abdul directly. She is really thinking about strutting her stuff for Dancing with the Stars. YOU KNOW she will win. She was unbeatable in the 90s and the following she has from American Idol will support her cause I am sure. People give Paula a hard time… but in the end, she is a really sweet person. I just hope she doesn’t overwork herself. Ok Magazine reports:

“I’m just hypothetically thinking about it,” Paula revealed to OK! after sitting in on Monday’s taping of the hit ABC reality competition. And, despite being on a competing network (Idol airs on Fox), she claims there would be no conflict with her show. “There’s a thing called the ‘off-season,’ I think.”

“It’s all Tom’s fault!” she joked, adding, “I’m a huge fan [of DWTS]. It would be a phenomenal experience for me to be a student and to learn a form of dance that I’ve never been introduced to.”

But before all the Paula fans go setting their Tivos for next season, she advises, “I’d be honored, but that does not confirm or deny anything that’s out there right now.

I’ve gotten a number of emails telling me whenever I host video on my blog from RedLasso, it freezes up your screen. So in order to avoid a complete meltdown of Internet browsers across the world, I thought I’d supply links to the several videos I have from American Idol’s charity extravaganza, Idols Give Back.

Clay Aiken arrived at at Times Square’ Planet Hollywood in great spirits to promote his starring role in the Tony award winning Broadway comedy Monty Python’s ‘Spamalot’. Here he is taking part in a handprint ceremony having fun with the press. My guess is that he is singing while imprinting.

They aren’t giving me the ability to embed, so I have to supply the link instead to the premiere of Clay Aiken’s newest single. On My Way Here was actually written by OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder. Click here to check it out.
