Me and my wife and some friends started a charity to benefit a fund we created with the Alzheimer’s Association and it was really to get young people off their butts and doing something that maybe contributed something to the world in some capacity instead of just playing video games all day.

I don’t know them I’m not really sure what they are. I was thinking I didn’t know what kind of Valentine’s Day this will be I was thinking I’m never home, so do I need to think about cooking up something? And he was like, ‘Stop it! This was my holiday to plan!’ So I didn’t plan anything.

It was an unfortunate situation. I got stuck in there without a cellphone and without a towel, so after waiting around for an hour, it was time to get out of there. I kind of hit it and it cracked, [so] I hit it a little bit harder, then my fist went through the door. At that point, when I saw the daylight from the other room, I said, ‘Hey, it’s time to get out of here.

Seacrest interviews Michelle Obama during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her Valentines Day plans.

He [President Obama] celebrated me so well—he did a great job. I had a great couple of weeks, so I think we’re going to low-key it for Valentine’s Day. It feels like we just finished celebrating my birthday so I think we are going to low-key it.

I went in yesterday and they put me in a completely different dressing room. The makeup artist Kris, who has been his longtime makeup artist, told me that she guaranteed me she bought all new makeup and all new brushes.

Mariah Carey interview

It was made to my body, they mold it to my body. It was difficult. It was not an easy feat to get that to stay up on the body. The first night we realized, ‘Um, I think we’re going to have to do something about this situation We rigged it with a little bit of invisible fishing wire.

My only experience with American things is through movies. I had to pick up the nuances from the other actors, so after two studio films I’d like to graduate from high-school parts, and maybe even try an independent film.

Jennifer Lopez interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Lopez during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and asks her what she hopes her boyfriends Valentines Day plans are.

I just like something that has some thought put into it. I don’t need like big gifts. I want to feel like you put some time into it and you really thought about it I always say it takes more time to go out and pick a card than it does to buy a quick present.

Queen Latifah interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Queen Latifah during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about how she felt marring 33 cuples at the same time during Grammy Awards show.

I was very emotional because outside of all of the hype of everything – it being the Grammys, it being a world stage, all of the musical performances, the fact that it’s Mackelmore, Ryan Lewis, and Madonna and Mary Lambert – there’s 33 couples out there who are taking the biggest step of their lives probably. Who are actually making a commitment and it’s scary! It’s exciting! It’s wonderful! So I really tried to just focus on them and the love they have for each other to actually make that commitment.

Kid Ink interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Kid Inc during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his collaboration with Chris Brown on the single Show Me.

Really it was the blessing of social networking. It was me really me reaching out on direct messaging. I said I was finishing the album, ‘Do you want to come check anything out?’ And I had just moved at the time that was close to where he stays, so it wasn’t a struggle to be like, ‘Let’s go down the street to the studio and record and listen to some records. And he came through. I played him about three different records, ‘Show Me’ being the first one, and I knew that was a record that was really special to me at the time, but it was still missing a little something. [He] went in the booth and gave it all the energy it needed at that time and it was like, ‘Yeah, that’s the one. We got it!’ But I didn’t tell him that’s the one,” he laughs, “so we could keep going and we did about three records that night.

I always watch the ID channel, I’m obsessed with crime shows. But I’ll also make sure that I do things like go to the movies with my band or whoever and that kind of keeps me feeling like I’m at home.

Miley Cyrus interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Cyrus during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her Bangerz Tour. 

They’re [my fans] going to be exposed to art most people don’t know about. People are taught to look at things so black and white, especially in small towns. I’m excited to take this tour to places where [art] like this wouldn’t be accepted, where kids wouldn’t learn about this different kind of art.

Sofia Vergara interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Vergara during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about how the tabloids interest in her love life effects her.

I laugh all the time because what else can I do? I mean at least they’re talking about me, no? I read the most absurd things, like one day I’m engaged, one day because I go to the gym without the ring then I’m not engaged and it’s some horrible tragedy. Then the other day I’m getting married, then I’m giving birth.

Steve Harvey interview

Interview0 Comments

Seacrest interviews Harvey during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions him about his 90 day relationship probation rule.

Here’s the deal. I created this equation to benefit the woman because how many times has a woman given herself to a man and then later on said, ‘Wow! If only I knew what I know now, I wouldn’t have given myself to [that person].’ So I said here’s a 90-day rule for you and I came up with the equation after my days working at Ford. You have a probation period of 90 days before that company gives you a full benefit package. Women should look at their benefit the same way because they have the greatest benefit package available to man so why would you pass out the greatest benefit package and he isn’t qualified for it? So you need a 90-day probation period [to get to know them] and that’s how long I think women should wait.
