Ryan Seacrest Owns His Own Kneepads


I know that I give Ryan Seacrest crap here on a fairly regular basis, but in reality, I think he does what he does, very well. He basically works about 15 hours a day and he makes a pile of money. One of the ways he makes money is with his production company. The production company is part of what he gets for putting up with Ted Casablanca everyday on E!.

I need to go back and look, but a few months ago I talked about how Ryan Seacrest had Denise Richards on his morning radio show and seemed to be kissing a little ass. He didn't ask any tough questions, but I thought it was because Denise was being Denise and that he was scared of her. She was giving it back to him, and I thought he was afraid. Turns out he was kissing her ass and probably setting her up for the easy shots at him.

That new reality show that Denise Richards went to court for is being produced by Ryan Seacrest's production company. At the time of his "interview" with Denise, this idea must have been in his head or discussions already been held when he was talking to her on the radio show, kissing her ass, and setting her up for easy put downs of him. Why the f**k didn't he mention something about it on the air? Why didn't he say that he was trying to rebuild her reputation all by himself so the two of them could make some money off of her?

This is the official line about her new show. "The actress and single mom is set to star an untitled E! series which will follow her around as she navigates Hollywood, romance and motherhood. The show will give viewers an inside look at what it’s like for Denise to go through these ups and downs while always in the public eye,” said Lisa Berger, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Series Development for E!, in a statement. “At the core of this series is a resilient single mom who is trying to get her life back on track.”

Look, I told everyone I would be the first person watching her new show. I don't even have a problem with Ryan Seacrest making money off her. He wouldn't be the first guy who exploited her. The problem I have is that he has had her on his show at least once that I know of with probably the intent to make her more marketable for his own production company and his own pockets and not advising that fact to his listeners at the time. I don't listen to him everyday, and I don't listen to his weekly radio countdown show. My guess is though, that when he was setting this all up on his show a few months ago it was supposed to happen then. Then Denise's mom died and so all his sucking up and rehabilitating Denise went out the window. I'm sure if we go back and check, there was probably a flurry of "I love Denise" at the time from Ryan. Plus, Denise didn't have anything to promote except her love of chapstick so there really was no reason for her to be on the show.

One of Ryan's dream jobs has always been Larry King. Well, he certainly has the kneepads and integrity for it.

  3. Conflict of interest. He shouldn't have been the one to do the interview. He has zero integrity and zero talent. I'm disappointed you listen to this idiot at all, Enty.

  4. I truly detest Denise Richards. She is so repulsive. She used to live in my 'hood, and everyone hated her, whether they were friendly with Heather or not. Then she moved to Hidden Hills, and they hate her even more there. The neighbors are trying so hard to get her out of there.

  9. I think it is disgusting that Denise is using her kids to get back into the spotlight. I don't care if she wants to exploit and broadcast her life, but leave the kids out of it.

    And it's no surprise that Ryan kisses behinds to get further ahead or to further his own interests. He has done it for years.
