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.

46. This is one area where TMZ is wrong, wrong, wrong! Kara rocks; it's the Paula and Simon banter and playing footsie that makes me want to change the channel.

47. There are tent cities and a record number of jobless and homeless Americans across this country and here we have Ryan Seacrest with a 45 million deal. American Idol is the "Northern Trust" of the entertainment industry. Good old USA.

48. I guess you can be a short semi attractive middle age guy with no real talent and become a millionaire! When I think this sleeze ass is getting this kind of money for doing NOTHING and our schools like something from a third world country it makes me sick. I hope as least Sleazcrest donates to a charity other then liposuction and plastic surgeons retirement funds. Plus Ryan your such a queer just come out for godsakes no body buys the straight thing anymore no matter how many strip clubs you go too.

50. I think they should replace Paula with Kara. I respect Kara's opinion more than Paula's "you look really pretty and uhh you're a uhh shining star uhh and...*stutter*".

55. To Jamie Foxx too: The reason homosexuals march and have parades is because they, like many other people with morals, know that they should have the same rights as heterosexuals. They parade for their rights. They don't have anything in the US, so why do you have to cut them down for what they do have?

And if a homosexual "goes back to being straight" then they were never homosexual in the first place. Homosexuals are born the way they are and there is medical proof to back me up. There is a portion of the brain that controls sexual desires and in homosexuals, this part of the brain is slightly enlarged.

If Ryan Seacrest is in fact a homosexual and he doesn't want to "come out", then who are you to judge him? He's a celebrity. He isn't your father, he isn't your son. So why do you care so much? Leave him alone. His sexuality is his business, no one else's.

57. It's the butt pirate diva!!!! Yep, they made the right call, she's a little out of her league & Lassie would not have sung her song either!! Puttiing j-ho on the show would send it further south!

And as far as gay rights, let them go parade, march & whatever else in the states that have legalized it!! If they had morals they wouldn't be gay now would they?

Kudo's to the restaurant owner that had the two "duke shoot boys" thrown out of the restaurant for making out!!!! The signs should read "NO SHIRT, NO GAY ACTS, NO SHOES, NO SERVICE!!!!!

58. Who cares if this dud likes men or women or llamas? He is getting $45 million for being boring, boring, boring; in the meantime, teachers, nurses, firefighters and so many others who make a real contribution to society are making nothing or even losing their jobs. Something in this country is screwed up.

--------------------------------

You're very ignorant. Gays aren't gay by choice, they are born that way. If you haven't learnt this by now, then I feel sorry for you.

I've studied religion and social justice extensively for twenty years. It is not immoral to be gay, either. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. It is considered, by way of the Bible, a sin to practice being gay (it is not a sin to actually BE gay since the church has no evidence that gays choose to be that way). There is nothing in the Bible saying its immoral to be gay, and the church gladly accepts homosexuals.

Do not feed me those stupid passages from the Bible that all those stupid "God Hates America" people think say that God hates gays, because if you actually study those passages and learn what they are about you'll know they stand for something else.

60. Kara doesn't bring ANYTHING to the show at all. She can be VERY annoying. She not only repeats what other people say, but she takes up too much time. She could SO go and it wouldn't matter. Randy, Paula & Simon have what it takes. NO NEED for Ms. Kara.
