Ryan Seacrest, came from normal beginnings, just like the rest of us. He was born in Dunwoody, Georgia, and he may have actually invented the meaning of school spirit. Hosting the morning announcements at Dunwoody High School,staff writer with the school paper, a member of the model UN club and captain of the Swim Team “The Wet Wildcats”
By the time his childhood dream of being a DJ was brought to fruition, he was no longer “wet behind the ears” (Insert groan for horrible pun here).
After he graduated high school, Ryan went on to attend the University of Georgia in the fall of 1993,and began hosting his first radio show at a local Athens station. He left UGA at the ripe old age of 19, and moved to Hollywood to continue his broadcasting career.
It wouldn’t take him too long to realize his dreams,though, no worries. Put those tissues away! Fast forward, to 2002! (No we still had no flying cars, BUT it would, however, be the beginning of ALL Seacrest, all the time) Ryan accepted the position as co-host of the hit reality TV series American Idol with comedian Brian Dunkleman.
We don’t know where Brian went, poor guy. I do remember thinking, especially during Ryan’s diatribes that seem to go on over the span of SEVERAL eternities (HINT HINT RYAN, CEASE TALKING INCESSANTLY EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE. ‘TIS NOT CALLED RYAN SEACREST TALKS AND MAKES BAD JOKES IDOL), that Brian didn’t talk as much, and where is he now?
Where was I? Oh, yes, yes, the point at hand. Apparently someone, somewhere loves Ryan, at the Fox Network. He just signed a contract tying him to them for another three years, for a whopping $15 MILLION PER YEAR.
No need to rub your eyes, you read it right. $45 million dollars over the span of three years.
I talk. I talk incessantly. Admittedly my jokes are normally much wittier than his (though it may be the fault of his writers, we’ll pretend that’s the case). My question is, where is my $45 Million dollar contract,eh? Heck, I’d settle for a $45 dollar contract at this point. *Laughing*
And in the words I’d imagine Ryan would say “This is Ryan Seacrest, taking over the world one radio and television venue at a time. Seacrest OUT.”
I have but this to say. Good for you, Ryan. Good for you.

Big Brother 9 wasn’t the best season…but it has been the most intriguing. Where are the final 6 now?

James:  James, it appears, has been a busy man since the season ended.  Mostly, he’s been partying.  He stayed in Los Angeles for a little bit,  then he went back to Richmond, Virginia for a while.  He said he was going to start his bike trip again, traveling the world, but the plan is on hold.  He’s back in Los Angeles right now (supposedly) and he’s postponing the bike trip until after Big Brother 10, which means he probably is in talks to be on House Calls for the upcoming season.

Natalie: Natalie is back in Oregon, working as a bikini barista.  She’s painting mermaids and self-portraits in her down time (I know), and contemplating a move to Los Angeles.

Sharon: Apparently, she’s back together with Jacob. Seriously, WTF??

Sheila: From the best I can tell, Sheila is simply back at home with her son, enjoying her freedom.

Ryan:  Ryan and Jen went on a Caribbean cruise soon after the season ended.  They have moved in together, and Ryan is going right back to school.  He is scheduled to finish up in the winter.

Adam: Baller is enjoying life.  While he was inside the Big Brother house, Adam was fired from his job, leaving him no place of employment to come back to.  He doesn’t really need a job right now, considering he won the $500,000 grand prize on Big Brother.  It appears as if he’s returned home to Florida after a bit of a vacation.  He has rescinded his commitment to give h1alf his winnings to charity, which probably has something to do with how much of the 500k will be taxed.

I can’t believe that some of the people went back to being normal people….
