Ryan Seacrest & Jennifer Lopez are already in a hilarious diva war

Well, this was totally predictable. I mean that in two ways – it’s completely predictable that Jennifer Lopez would immediately become engaged in some diva war (to the death!) with someone on American Idol, and it’s totally predictable that we would hear about it. My personal opinion is that J.Lo just got the judging gig because while people don’t see her movies, people do love to gossip about her, and Idol wanted some tabloid stories and added publicity. As for J.Lo’s incessant diva feuding… well, I’m just glad that she and Ryan Seacrest are trying to take each other out so soon. This should get good.

Jennifer Lopez is already feuding with her new American Idol co-star, host Ryan Seacrest. According to an insider, now that she’s reportedly signed a $12 million deal to be a judge, Jennifer, 41, and Ryan, 35, have begun a power struggle over everything from dressing rooms to which star gets top billing.

“Ryan was the one who first suggested Jennifer, but now he’s starting to regret it, because she’s acting like she’s a much bigger star than he is,” the insider says. “Ryan knows the diva behavior is likely to get worse before it gets better. Producers are trying to get them to make peace, but their egos are both pretty big.”

J. Lo and fellow Idol newbie, Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler, have created a lot of buzz around a show that many critics say needs a big energy boost. Even fellow celebs are weighing in on the additions.

“I’m really excited for Jennifer to be on American Idol,” Fergie recently said.

“She’s acting like she’s a much bigger star than he is.” Isn’t she? Jennifer Lopez was a big actress with a string of hit films, plus she’s sold millions of albums, plus she’s dated a bunch of famous dudes and she’s a fashion and beauty icon for millions of women. La Seacrest is reality show hobgoblin, host and producer with a Napoleon complex. J.Lo is far superior, in my opinion. Take him down, J.Lo. Use your voodoo to make him shorter.

    yeah, JLo is def a bigger star than Seacrest, but they BOTH think they’re more important and relevant than they are.

    team NO ONE.

  2. mln says:

    I am not a JLo fan but she totally outranks Seacrest. At award shows they don’t let him in the building. He needs to take a few steps back and worship that ass.

  3. Eileen says:

    I don’t know why but I can’t stand this woman. I hate the way she dresses, does her hair, talks, walks and breathes. And then every photo op she gives a look like she’s trying to take a crap. Thank God I don’t watch Idol!

  4. ams511 says:

    “USE YOUR VOODOO TO MAKE HIM SHORTER”

    omg. hilarious! i know i’m always saying this…but kaiser-you’re a comic genius! love it!

  5. ams511 says:

    also, another vote for team no one!

  6. Nono says:

    “Reality show hobgoblin”! I love it.

    I wish Ryan Seacrest would just go away. And if he really, really didn’t think that JLo would out diva him, then he’s an idiot. He does host E! News, right? Yeah, he should’ve seen that coming.

  7. Iggles says:

    Yep, Kaiser. She *is* a much bigger star..

  8. Sandy says:

    Seacrest vs Jblow mud wrestling!

  9. NayNay says:

    All I can say to the A.I. producers is ha, ha, ha,ha, ha. You’re getting what you deserved. All of us knew that hiring J-LO was going to be a huge mistake, and you producers are the idiots that hired her anyway.

  10. Just a Poster says:

    oh shock! um no.. seems like a desperate attempt to drum up interest for the show.

  11. Oi says:

    I think we need to let AI go…far faar away. I mean, Steven Tyler and JLO? really?

    And another thing: JLo, jumpsuits are not attractive, high fashion, or glamorous. stop.

  12. lucy2 says:

    I’m Team No One too, but agree she is still a bigger star, even though most of those accomplishments are well in her past these days.

    I haven’t watched Idol in years, but even I might tune in if these two would wrestle it out.

  13. Sarah says:

    “Jennifer Lopez was a big actress with a string of hit films”

    What string of hit films? Not that she isn’t a bigger “star” than Seacrest but that line made me laugh way too hard. Talented actress? ok, sure. The only movie I can think of where I enjoyed her performance was Selena.

  14. gg says:

    JL’s done more to her face to take more of the latina out, looks like. She looks so bland now.

  15. tango says:

    Poor Ryan, looses out on getting the Larry King gig and now he’s even more pissy. Don’t fight with JLO Ryan, you can’t out diva her.

    If AI survives this season, they ought to replace Ryan next year. That would be a refreshing change.

  16. PrettyTarheel says:

    Can I confess, I want her wig-mistress? I love her hair-so much body. Even though I’m in TN, where big hair is like breathing to us (Hello, Dolly Parton), I’m still envious of that wig…

  17. Lila says:

    She’s a bigger NAME, but I don’t know if she’s a bigger star. At least not anymore. JLo is driving on fumes. It’s the same type of has-been-ism that keeps Sharon Stone relevant because she was in Basic Instinct, like, 20 years ago. BUT JLo cannot sell an album. JLO cannot sell movie tickets. JLo can dance but only make headlines when she falls a busts her a$$ while doing so.
    Seacrest has made a name for himself for having no discernible talent by hosting a show about people who DO. Then he repeated the formula by creating another successful show about an untalented broad who got pee’d on in the face in a sex tape and her equally untalented sisters. He’s managed to be relevant by not doing anything.

  18. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    Sorry, hit the button twice.. AGAIN

  19. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    Team no one here as well. I actually like them both for different reasons. I actually might just maybe, kinda, one sec,jussst.. tune in for a milisecond to see what the mix looks like.

  20. RHONYC says:

    ‘reality show hobgoblin’!!!!!

    BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

    ohhhhhhh snap! yo, that was the best EVER!

    hobgoblin is one of my favorite words. lol 🙂

    wtf? he’d betta recognize her regal ‘jlo-ness’!

    i 2nd that motion on jlo hittin lil’ seas with the voodoo to shrink his ass…or, as they do in the ‘boogie-down-bronx’ latino community…

    *shaking my maracas*

    SANTARIA!!!

    ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch. 🙂

  21. Maritza says:

    Jlo is the bigger star but it wouldn’t her to be more down to earth. She needs to remind herself to be more like Jenny from the block than Hollywood diva, she would gain more fans that way.

  22. roxi says:

    Team JLo! Ryan is not a star at all! He is a diva for no reason. I think JLo is so amusing. Her ridiculousness is amazing! Seriously, who would wear that sparkly jumpsuit mess… with gigantic pockets and tapered ankles no less! Fabulous!

  23. Jeri says:

    Totally agree. Ryan is a star in his own mind. Idol is all he’s got (he’s got a few other hosting gigs but you don’t hear of them).

    Not a JLo fan either but in this case Ryan better watch out, he doesn’t have a chance.

  24. original kate says:

    they just need to hug it out.

  25. Xx says:

    This is so [cele]bitchy but I really hope this is true for some reason. Team Seacrest BTW.

  26. guesty says:

    that jumpsuit!! ha. the pic where they’re giving a ‘kiss’ is the best. they so hate each other.

  27. TQB says:

    I agree with Roxi – JLo is willing to parade about for my amusement, and I am ready & willing to laugh at her.

  28. Newyorking says:

    A jumpsuit AGAIN? True, this one doesn’t look as bad as the ones in the past, but still. I hate jumpsuits, and J. Lo should stop wearing them.

  29. di butler says:

    Team Seacrest. I’ve met him a time or two, and he is beyond nice and acts down to earth. I never liked JLO past her Flygirls days.

  30. Eleonor says:

    They hired a DIVA (big actress or not, famous singer or not) and now they discover she behaves like a diva?

  31. mstre53209 says:

    I have never understood why she is considered such a big star. She is not much of an actress or singer. I do not even know what Ryan’s talent is and why it is that he gets paid as much as he does. I never did like American Idol and wish it would just go off the air.
    That wig is just tragic. It looks like she got it out of a drag queen’s trash can. And however did she find a thrift store that sold old martian clothing?

  32. Stephanie says:

    To me, nothing quite says “diva” like walking out from a backlit cloud of smoke from a fog machine!!

  33. 4Real says:

    what is she wearing!!!!!

  34. Connie says:

    “She’s a very good actress, let me tell you something,” the actor, who starred in The Natural, tells the Associated Press. “What, are they going to blame her for (Gigli)? I didn’t pay any attention to that. All I know is what I saw when I worked with her. She’s a natural talent.”
    – Robert Redford

    Lopez, who plays Redford’s daughter in law in “An Unfinished Life.”

  35. 8908 says:

    Yeah she was big for five years. If you’re going to do fame in levels, there are the people that are in the Michael Jackson group ….it’s not about tabloid crap… it is talent. Then you have the second tier… which JLO was on. She had a hit movie and hit record at the same time, in the early 2000’s.

    Tweens by records and kids go see movies. The real determinate is how much someone is paying for a concert ticket.

    I love her hair and make-up, she looks great. I love the shot of poor Ryan trying to get in the photo of Tyler JLO and Randy. He needs to go away.

  36. Jag says:

    @NayNay ~ You’re totally right! Everyone knew that J-lo was going to be Miss Ego, and Seacrest is already Miss Ego, so of course there was going to be trouble. We knew that she wasn’t going to work in that position.

    I don’t like either of the new judges, but this will be the last year of Idol anyway, most likely.

    Even though I don’t like her, yes, J-lo is a bigger star. Fading star, but bigger nonetheless.

  37. Jover says:

    These posts are great; JHO in that jumpsuit looks like one of those cheesy Martian women in those cheap 50s sci-fi films. IF that last pic doesn’t say kiss of death or snarky arrogance on JHO’s part, nothing does.

  38. krys says:

    She doesn’t OUTRANK him as far as American Idol is concerned. He’s been there since day one and he’s always had top billing as far as credits are concerned the entire nine years. He will win this so-call (if its real) war anyway. Team Seacrest!

  39. Jill says:

    She can’t seem to go out without making a fool of herself.

  40. Nina says:

    Gobble gobble, get to work down there. Ryan, you need to serve the real Diva here now.

  41. sjuzz says:

    No way J-lo is bigger. Compare their earnings for the last 5 years… She’s living on residuals, he’s got like 8 jobs.

    He’s tight with Disney/ABC, and also rolling with E!. That’s network tv, radio, and internet blogs. That Man-diva will crush a has been like last weeks peen. If he wants to…

    I doubt he wants to, he probably gets points on the show and wants the ratings high, so go go diva fight… rumors.
