Ryan Seacrest Says Judges Are Aging, McPhee Won't Talk for Charity and Simon Still Makes Sanjaya Sob
There is never a shortage of sensationalism when it comes to the past and present personalities on "American Idol."
Pop Tarts caught up with Ryan Seacrest at Friday night's Young Musicians Foundation gala founded by the late Merv Griffin, where he gave us the scoop fresh from the road of the hit reality show.
"I wouldn't say that the judges are getting nastier, just older. And age is starting to show," said Seacrest. "But nobody will be disappointed when it comes to seeing tears and tantrums and really bad singers. We've had some shockers this season, but at the same time we have been blown away by the actual talent. Fergie is going to be featured pretty heavily on the show, too; I can't tell you how many times I have heard 'Big Girls Don't Cry.'"
As for his long-running rivalry with Simon Cowell, Ryan still thinks he is a cut above.
"Oh, I'm definitely winning, Simon can't stand it," he assured us. "He still isn't over the Emmys hosting gig, and we just have to calm him down all the time. Poor Simon, he is even more irritated than in past seasons."
Speaking of past seasons, it may be just as well that Katharine McPhee was runner-up in Season 4, as she is either too frightened or too "famous" to walk the red carpet or talk to the media at a charity event to raise funds for aspiring artists like she so recently was.
Pop Tarts spotted a not-made-up McPhee entering the Beverly Hilton, but the second she spotted the snappers setting up, she whirled around and was gone. Our precious pop princess was only to be seen while performing late that night, even opting to eat dinner alone in her room.
Just a P.S. ..
It's evident that that site doesn't do homework before they print their remarks. As I recall, it hasnt' even been a year yet since Katharine was featured "sans make-up" because of how beautiful she is without it!!!!!
GRRR!!! That site definitely made this a Monday morning for me! I just really dislike people making remarks that are unfounded, untrue and not researched before they open their "unsightly" (pun) mouths!!!
"I wouldn't say that the judges are getting nastier, just older. And age is starting to show," said Seacrest.
Age? Perhaps the judges are going hard of hearing? I think we witnessed their early symptoms during the top 6 week of season 5.
Maybe Kat wasn't available to the press becausee (gasp) she had to rehearse with Cody and the band?!
I wonder what else Katharine sang besides her Prayer duet.
