Ryan Seacrest

"Extra's" Terri Seymour went backstage at "American Idol," and asked how they felt about "X Factor's" Simon Cowell challenging the winner of the three biggest singing shows -- "X Factor," "American Idol," and "The Voice" -- to have a sing-off. Randy Jackson said, "Who?" followed by Lopez, who asked, "What did he say?"

Randy exclaimed, "We want to have a judge-off! Forget having a sing-off! Let's bring Adam [Levine]... let's get Cee Lo!" Jennifer pointed out, "But they don't judge on that show, right? They mentor?" Seacrest chimed in, "I don't host that show, don't ask."

Billionaire Donald Trump reacted to Sacha Baron Cohen's ash-spilling stunt with Ryan Seacrest at Sunday's Oscar red carpet. With a frown on his face, Trump delivered his rant from behind his desk and explained why he thought it wasn't funny to dump Kim Jong Il's pretend ashes on the E! correspondent.

Trump pointed out that the security guard standing near Seacrest didn't do his job and that he believes Baron Cohen, who showed up to the event as "The Dictator" from his upcoming movie, should've been punched in the face.

Funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen surprised E! host Ryan Seacrest on the 2012 Oscars red carpet.

Arriving to the ceremony dressed as his latest alter ego "The Dictator," Cohen accidentally dumped an urn full of what he claimed was the ashes of the late North Korean leader Kim Jon Il all over Seacrest. Classic.

"Today" show host Matt Lauer will reportedly reconsider leaving the NBC show after his contract ends in December, if the network gives him a significant pay increase... to the tune of $30M?!

According to TMZ, the negotiations are currently in the works, but if NBC agrees, Lauer could earn as much as $30 million a year. He is currently taking home $17 million, which means the $30-million payout would give him a whopping 76 percent pay raise.

Since they recently announced their engagement, bride-to-be Drew Barrymore and fiancé Will Kopelmen's first official photo was released. The actress beamed while wearing her 4-carat, diamond-banded engagement bling designed by Graff Diamonds.
