Seacrest Definitely In ... DioGuardi Out?

Thanks to a brand new $45 million deal, Ryan Seacrest will be back hosting "American Idol" next season -- but Kara DioGuardi might have reason to worry.

Ryan Seacrest: Click to watch
Seacrest -- who is now richer than fettuccine alfredo -- was eating with Jennifer Lopez this weekend at Madeo when we suggested she take Paula Abdul's place on the panel ... Ryan said he'd love to see J. Lo sitting "next to" her.

They'd be crazy to get rid of Simon ... Kara D., not so much.

Congrats to her on her marriage..and I hope she comes back.. and if she is reading all the other ignorant posts -please ignore them.

20. Anything over about $1200 a week for this guy is pure stupidity. I hate the show but would hate it much less if anyone else was the host. I still wouldn't watch it but would feel less ill knowing it existed.

24. The Richest Gay Man in America. The "Oprah" of the Gay world...hooray for the Gays, they have gone mainstream, now have rights like never seen before in the time of humanity...what more now could they want, other than to make the entire world Gay like them.

Congratulations Gay People, you're Leader is now the Richest Man of all of you. He earned it and should live life now free and above board instead of hiding out. He's giving Gay people a bad name by staying in the closet.

I think I feel duped by him..like Cooper Anderson...same thing...Gay is no big deal now, but these two continue to hide and act like the Dark Ages of Gaydom. Shame on them. The Fight is over...soon there will be no rallies, parades, meetings or marches to attend as you all will be mainstream and you can live a life like the rest of us----without the parties, and parades.

Fun isnt it?....me thinks many of you liked the meetings, the marches, the commonality----when that goes, maybe many of you will go back to hetero...you gotta admit, being gay the past decades has brought with it a sense of uniqueness and celebration---soon, you'll live lives like everyone else...boring, routine, bills to pay, responsibilities to meet---no parades to march in...glad Ryan got his due...now come out please so there is a level of honesty to it all.

25. Excellent idea.Kara taking part in writing that awful finale song is enough to release her.Plus she adds nothing to the show.

26. I refuse to believe he likes guys. He is always around too many women for him not to like them.

27. Yes please. KICK KARA OFF THE SHOW. Her comments were as annoying as nails on a chalk board

28. Kara and Kate Gosselin went to the same class: How to annoy America and have everyone hate you

29. I see Kara is signed on as nyjax

30. I don't watch that lame show...but now that he's SO rich, maybe Seacrest will finally come out of the closet....
Sucking Merv Griffin's U-KNOW-What really took him far.....
