Simon to Seacrest: "Come out!"

46. #24 teeks-I think you are correct. After that exchange, while the camera was focused on Paula sitting on Randy's(?) lap and just before they went back to the competition, you could see Ryan and Simon laughing,talking,and then Ryan patting Simon on the shoulder before he went back to the stage. They did look like friends and I thought , we've been fooled- all this supposed animosity and cutting remarks is nothing but a put on.

47. Diana Ross was excellent. That dumb-dumb with the hair like hers should have listened when she told his dumb ass not to mess with the melody. He should be tossed tonight, or Sanjaja (sp?) who I have renamed Vagina Is Love. I voted for his ass. Everyone bores me this seson, and I want Vagina is Love to win so Simon can quit.

48. They aren;t gay, they are just in love with them selves. No girl or guy can compete with that! They will be single for life!

49. Let Ryan alone It's his life and neither Simon or any us should stick our noses in.
If he is gay who really cares he's a wonderfull man that's all that matters

50. As a lesbian.... Ryan Seacrest DOES need to come out.

51. If I listened to some of you on this site, 90% of the male population is gay. Unless (or until) anyone says they are gay, I wish you would just leave them alone. What's your big problem??

52. It's up to Ryan when and whether he wants to come out--that's a big decision, and not for Simon Cowell to decide.

And the way Simon talks about it, it's obvious Simon thinks Ryan is "less than" for possibly being gay. Stick to the judging, Simon, and let people manage their own lives.

53.
Personally, I think the entire thing was scripted. I'm not sure either one of them is that clever "off the cuff."

54. GLAAD needs to shut up. They have a parade the straight people dont, so SHUT UP!

55. I think Ryan drops subtle hints on purpose, maybe that is the only way he feels comfortable coming out - more and more references are being made. Come out and be done with it! We all know!

56. People! They were joking around with each other, and Ryan even SAID, "We're really friends." Was no one paying attention to that part?

57. i think simon wants seacrest to come out so simon can finally ask ryan out on a date

58. Simon obviously has some personal issues with his own sexuality or feelings of manhood if he has to make comments like that on public t.v. or Simon is envious of Seacrest's success as host and radio show host and feels intimidated by his skills and like most people who have internal issues, it's common for them to ridicule and make fun of others. Simon just seems like he can be a classy bully. I say who cares if he is gay. I like the fact that Ryan has quick comebacks for Simon. Somebody needs to put him in his place!
