Are Ryan's 15 minutes over yet?

No...Pilot is getting beat up for being a Scientologist. His name is what almost redeems him in the eyes of his peers.

Ryan Seacrest would be for CNN what Katie Couric has been for CBS Evening News.

I have to say, the lack of "ZOMG Crazy Britney" news over the past few months has been really nice. I hope this all works out for her.

And Ryan Seacrest should be contractually obligated to wear suspenders and scream, "Miami, HELLO!" if he's gonna take over for Larry.

Jason Lee also revealed that baby girl's name will be Flight Attendant Mekanic. Jason and Ceren are members of the scientology mile-high club.

Gynecologist Spekulumor.

I know this has been done already, but my vote for Jason Lee's daughters name is "Amyrika Steamwhistle"

@hatepaperdoll: What about "Yacht Kaptain"?

Pilot Inspektor's gonna be a big brother, awwww...Okay, possible girl names: Starpick Waterframe, Nurse Chewbacca, Abigail, Khlauraform Nightengale

Go ahead, Jason Lee. Take your pick.

Ryan Seacrest in like the Forest Gump of the entertainment world. Miraculous shit just happens to this fool all the time.

"My name is Earl. My kids name is Hamburglar Protektor. What of it?"

@ULookinAtMyJunk is the Hate Mitigator: Well said.

@hortense: I listened to Blackout yesterday and found myself a little sad that the crazy phase has passed. It's good for her, I know, and a real fan would be happy, but, come on, that SHIT kept me entertained.

@ULookinAtMyJunk is the Hate Mitigator:

Hahahhhahaha! Now that I think about it, this is so true.

How is he famous?!

CNN will have to spring for a high chair if they hire Ryan, cause you know he won't be able to see over the desk otherwise.

@hortense: Don't forget the glasses.

@ULookinAtMyJunk is the Hate Mitigator: So funny, so true! He's got a leprechaun's luck.

@DorothyZbornak: Way to kick a man when he's down. Next to the ground. For his entire life.

@ULookinAtMyJunk is the Hate Mitigator: Ha Ha. Seriously, can someone explain his appeal? Why is he famous? Did he sell his soul? Did he sacrifice baby animals on a full moon in a clearing in the forest? There's gotta be an explanation, cause it's for sure not talent that's gotten him this far.

Possible girl names:

1) Sailor Moon
2) Pollyanna McGillicuddy
3) Atomic Petunia

Time out. The kid's name is ACTUALLY "Pilot Inspektor"?? I don't believe it. Gimme proof.

@RomanaTwo: Parachute Ayr Dancyr

Oh Brit! I hope you bring it again and make it funny,smart, and great.

@BitterSugar: Actually, he ran over his alloted time.

@fantastic_caverns: He's the Wendy's of broadcasting.

Ryan Seacrest's continued fame just confuses and annoys me. I can't figure out exactly what he's supposed to be good at. He's not a journalist, he's not a great host, he's not particularly good looking . . . why? Just . . . why?

Sadly, little Pilot Inspekto makes me think of Family Guy. "Ha ha, your name's Dick Armey? What's your wife's name, Vagina CoastGuard?"

@NefariousNewt: Atomic Petunia is clearly a boy's name. The important thing is to maximize the bullying potential.

My vote goes to Garbagemann Hulahoopp (unisex, obviously) and Petroleum Kanadian (for a girl)l

Ryan is just tripping over jobs...I think that he probably is terribly ruthless and cutthroat behind the scenes.
He is everywhere. Aarrrghhh.

Pantene Robitussin.

@myrtlebeachbum: I know, it's bad enough he's almost eye level with Paula Abdul. That's gotta be a scary viewpoint.

@NefariousNewt: He's such an idiot. I just can't figure out how he has a career.

Best thing I've ever seen him do was freak out when Gary Busey harassed him at the Oscars.

Rheepare Musheen.

I love this name game -- just pick something in your desk drawer, mix up the letters a bit, and voila! Say hello to my son, Nabisko Crakkers! Or my daughter, Swynglyne Staypler!

@ULookinAtMyJunk is the Hate Mitigator: As much as Mr. Seacrest annoys me, perhaps most do not realize that he is in fact much more then he appears. We all watch from a distance and see his public persona, behind the scenes however, he is working very hard and has secured amazing deals, including Executive Producer spots on a good number of shows in both the US and the UK (yes, I know the definition itself can be sketchy but almost always "above the line") he signed a 21 million dollar three year contract with E!. Forbes puts his annual earnings @14 million a year. You see Mr. Seacrest has honed this persona and it has done right by him. The one who laughs the most at his stupidity is Mr. Seacrest himself.

@brendastarlet: @KathrynwithaY loves Joan Collins: @EdnasEdibles: And, one more thing, he IS gay, right? Not that there's anything wrong with that (duh) but I don't get why he's marketed as a hunky bachelor. Who are they kidding?

Last one - Vaseline Sidekick

@hatepaperdoll: He has a twin sister, Kaywhy Samsung.

The'tan Detektor.

@ULookinAtMyJunk is the Hate Mitigator: Okay, how does Comment of the Day work? Because you should get that.

@PICKLES IN MY TUNA: Wait, are you Ryan Seacrest? How'd you pick the screen name?

I think that a boat theme is in order for Jason Lee's new baby. Yachy't Mareine and Saleboate Reggata both have a ring to them.

@jenndavo:They may go for a simple, traditonal name : Summers Eve.

@Jessi Ramsey:COTD

Brian Dunkleman is totally kicking himself right now.

@PICKLES IN MY TUNA: You have a point. As annoying as he is, he's good at what he does. It seems like it comes naturally to him, and clearly people respond to him across all demographics.

@BitterSugar: Woah! Ryan's actually a hard worker and good at what he does. Yeah he may over indulge in the botox, but homeboy sure knows how to diffuse an awkward moment on national live television.

Pilot..... Inspektor....

@jenndavo: Best game ever! (looking around my apartment...)

-Ob-Guinness Paperklip
-Lampshade Elektrition
-French Tikler
-Katface Meooooow
-Ukulele Spektakular
- Boxwine Ekspress

Ok, ok. I'm done.

I sincerely hope Pilot changes his name when he gets old enough. Perhaps in a fit of teenage rebellion, he'll go with "Bikini."

@EdnasEdibles:

I find him likable. He is not too peppy, he is not arrogant, and he doesn't try to be an attention-hog like most other "not a journalist, not anything" types (Kelly Ripa, I'm looking at you!)

He is a great part of why I watch American Idol. I'd probably watch his show if he took over for Larry King too.

that explains why seacrest has been trying to "brand" the skinny-tie-dark-suit look- to counter LK's suspendered look.

it's all coming together now!

I'm naming my kid Diette Moxxie.

OR: Mikrowave Klock

@Notes from the underwhelmed: Ukulele! I'm an expert at "My dog has fleas."

@KathrynwithaY loves Joan Collins: i am digging Nurse Chewbaca.

@PICKLES IN MY TUNA: you're totally right. he is very non-threatening. Very friendly and people like the dynamic between him and Simon.
He's not going anywhere.

If Seacrest takes over, Kathy Griffin can kiss her hopes of ever being on that show again goodbye...and the poor woman is banned from so many as it is.

@shiningstar: I'm not feeling Ryan...not one bit.

Someone commented on how much money he makes and being a hard worker. To that I say there are plenty of rich people who are still deplorable and plenty of people working their butts off who aren't recognized for their efforts.

I'm not wishing him bad, I'm just wishing not to have to see him again.

@fantastic_caverns: I once saw the end of E! News or something like that, where after a clip of some women in bikini's Mr Seacrest had a line on the teleprompter saying something like "Wow, those ladies are getting me all hot!" Only he said it so cringingly and unenthusiastically it was almost like "I can't believe I am saying this crap." It wasn't even like someone saying their lines badly, it was like some PAINED to say something that had been written for them.

I had never even thought about it before that, but from then on I figured he must be gay.

@PICKLES IN MY TUNA: "As much as Mr. Seacrest annoys me, perhaps most do not realize that he is in fact much more then he appears."

Well, he certainly couldn't be much less. Still, I understand your point. I didn't know he had that many feathers in his cap.

@elizamulcahy: I can only play that one song from The Jerk (which is why I bought it in the first place) and "Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries." Also, the many songs I have made up about my cat, Mr. Catface, and the fact that he has a face just like a cat and also loves straws.

Also, Seacrest is the only person able to work the red carpet and not say stuff like what Giuliana does "So, I just saw you arriving in your limo". No shitting, Giuliana. First they arrive in a limo, then they walk that red carpet where you are standing to get to the door! I'm glad you figured that out.

At least Seacrest asks them about their movies, and he seems like a genius in comparison. Low standards, but when compared to Star Jones's "so what do you think about me..." phrased a different ways, and Giuliana et al's stating the obvious, he is great.
