Seacrest


Nobody was more surprised than Ryan Seacrest when ABC
announced that American Idol will be returning for its 18 th season,
a source says. The 44-year-old TV personality — who also hosts
E!’s red-carpet coverage, produces his own iHeartRadio show
and hosts Live With Kelly and Ryan with Kelly Ripa — “has a history
with Idol but the ratings are terrible and the buzz is completely
gone,” an insider tells Life & Style after Ryan proved the lone
holdout to sign on again, with judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and
Luke Bryan all set to return on the singing competition. “Ryan’s
definitely over it. He thinks the show has run its course. Last
season was supposed to be, well, his last, and while I don’t think he’s
changed his mind, the network does desperately want him back.”

“Is Ryan holding out for
more money?” a source
wonders. “Possibly,
but he’s definitely over
hosting the show.”
