Ryan Seacrest Moves Closer to World Domination

Just can't get enough of those blond highlights, those adorable dimples and comforting look when Idols get the boot? You're in luck.
Already the hardest-working man in showbiz (after Michael Ausiello, that is), the Reporter says that Ryan Seacrest has just inked a three-year deal with ClearChannel for his own three-hour syndicated radio show. In this latest step toward world domination, Seacrest's new venture will feature clips from his daily radio show on KIIS-FM, as well as original segments and playlist flexibility that allows local markets to plug in their own picks. The show will be distributed not just all over the States, but overseas as well.
The show, of which the tanned host will share ownership, should kick off in the spring. Now, the hours of the day that don't already enjoy airtime with AI, E! News, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, red-carpet coverage or the KIIS show will no longer have to be Seacrest-free. Starbucks, Energizer batteries and Red Bull, meanwhile, are rumored to be in talks to issue Seacrest-themed gift certificates, to launch concurrently with the new show (or at least they should be!). - Anna Dimond
