45 FOR YOU, RYAN SEACREST. YOU GO, RYAN SEACREST.
Ryan gets a raise. Chris sings Gaga.
Meanwhile: Adam's penis minces meat.
Ryan Seacrest gets $45 million, three year deal with “Idol,”
Daughtry’s “Poker Face”

As expected, Ryan Seacrest is getting a nifty raise. Reuters reports Seacrest will get about $45 million over three years, tripling his salary from the past few seasons.
The Wall Street Journal has slightly different numbers but comparable:
Seacrest will receive a total of $30 million for the next three seasons, as well as a $7.5 million signing bonus. In addition, 19 Entertainment paid $15 million last week for all Seacrest marketing rights related to “American Idol.”
This makes him the highest paid reality show host in America.
Seacrest has separate contracts for his morning radio show, the syndicated show heard locally on Star 94, his E! News responsibilities and AT40. He also executive produces “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” and “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated.”
-Over the weekend, the “Idols” from season eight continued its tour up the West Coast, hitting Sacramento and Oakland.
Jim Harrington from the Oakland Tribune, giving Adam Lambert props:
The one thing that was evident from watching Saturday’s “Idols” show at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, one of three tour stops over the weekend in Northern California, is that the 27-year-old Lambert is a bona-fide star.
No matter what a person thinks of Lambert’s dramatic vocal style - I find it more than a tad nauseating - it’s still nearly impossible to deny his almost limitless potential. Indeed, just how the singer goes about trying to make good on all that promise should make for one of pop culture’s most fascinating story lines over the next few years.
And the Sacramento Bee was a lovefest, pure and simple. A sample about Lambert:
I don’t even know where to begin and end with second-place finisher Adam Lambert. He clearly was the performer this audience was clamoring for. And he delivered. Washed in shades of blue and silver (his signature colors) and wearing a leather “morning coat,” Lambert made mincemeat of the microphone[*] with Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love.” There was smoke and faux fire as he dominated the stage. He’s made perfection out of his haunting reprise of “Mad World” by Tears for Fears, which he sang at least twice on the TV show.
[*] Porn is the new mincemeat. Who's hungry?

NGL. If Simon is going to earn what he's going to earn for sitting on his ass, then Ryan deserves every bit of this money. He works harder then all of them combined, and then some.
