Ryan Seacrest -- From Backstreet to Wall Street

Posted Apr 25th 2008 12:15PM by TMZ Staff

What has more highlights, tanning cream and flashy outfits than a "Dancing with the Stars" contestant? Ryan Seacrest! Well, at least he used to. Ryan now looks like Mini Merv Griffin, all slicked out in shiny suits and white shirts. Oh yeah, he's also a mogul like Merv.
TMZ's Harvey Levin confronted Ryan on his radio show yesterday, asking why, why why? Ryan said, "Cause I think when I started on that show, I wasn't quite sure what you were supposed to look like on TV. And I thought, 'Well you got to do things to make yourself stand out on TV. "

3. Hahahaha....yet another slow day for The SS TMZ-tanic. It's only 9:00 AM and already your ship is sinking. Let's see, Amanda Bynes in an elevator, Winehouse doing an Austin Powers impression, a has been football player suing whomever because they called him a linebacker and a Ryan and Harvey radio interview. Does Harvey and Ryan talk about who is the gayest? I'm just sayin'!
