Seacrest -- Unbrotherly Love

It's called the "City of Brotherly Love" -- but Ryan Seacrest had little love for the latest round of "Idol" auditions held in Philadelphia.


TMZ cameras caught the "Idol" host before his jog outside the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in NYC on Sunday -- sporting an iPod and an inconspicuous Ed Hardy hat. When asked about the upcoming season of the juggernaut that is "American Idol," Ryan said they "weren't great ... for 20,000 people, we only found a few good ones." Is that a change?

Auditions continue this week in Charleston, with stops to follow in Miami, San Diego, Atlanta, Dallas and (random) Omaha. The new season premieres in January on FOX.

Bull! I auditioned and they were a sham! I flew from Milwaukee and waited 16 hours for an 8 second audition where you only got chosen if you were in a superman jumpsuit! I have changed my opinions on American Idol after that ordeal, no longer is it a singing competition, just another reality show with not real people but characters.

Philly was the last stop on the Idol audition tour, not the first. It will, however, be the first to air.

Its about time they go somewhere where its not a cakewalk to "make it in the biz". Though I can't imagine why anyone would want to, better yet be on such a fake show.
