$21 million dollars might seem like a crap load of money to be paid for standing there and asking celebrities a bunch of pre-programmed questions. But if anyone deserves it, it's totally Ryan Seacrest.
His new contract with the E! Network will span three years, and will make Seacrest the executive producer of the network's Live from the Red Carpet awards show, including the Jan. 16 Golden Globes. Seacrest will also be the managing editor of E! News, and will produce and host celebrity interview specials. Nope, not done yet.
In March he will start as E! News's lead anchor, and he may even fill in for Larry King once in a while — more your tie is bigger than my tie convos TK.
E! is also priming him to become the permanent host of New Year's Rockin' Eve. (It's pretty obvious Dick Clark won't be able to keep this up for very long.)
Well, we're pretty exhausted (not to mention jealous), but bet your bottom dollar we'll take Seacrest over Elizabeth Vargas and Bob Woodruff any day. Yep, because we're bloggers.
