Ryan Seacrest tricks Ellen into thinking he likes girls; wants to date Eva Mendes


Ryan Seacrest, the most famous metrosexual in the world or the biggest closet case, depending on whom you believe, appeared on Ellen Degeneres’ talk show today and whined about how he’s so busy with his career that he doesn’t have time to find a girlfriend. Ellen’s gaydar didn’t seem to be going off at this remark, because she didn’t burst into fits of laughter. Instead, she showed pictures of famous female celebs and asked Seacrest which one was his type.

Ellen DeGeneres — matchmaker?

On Friday’s Ellen DeGeneres Show, she agreed to fix up Ryan Seacrest after he lamented about his lackluster love life.

He said he has been “so busy” he hasn’t had time to look for love.

“Yes, but you’re going to wait too long and get in a rut being single,” said DeGeneres, who wed Portia de Rossi this past summer.

DeGeneres then held up photos of famous women — Pam Anderson, Britney Spears, Carrie Underwood, Eva Mendes and Jennifer Aniston — and asked Seacrest to pick one.

He chose Mendes first.

“She’s gorgeous,” he said. “Yeah, I kind of went there first. I like Carrie, but then I kind of feel like she is part of the Idol thing, so I donโ€™t know if that’s the right thing to do.”

Spears, he said, “is young and obviously there’s enough going on and that’s not for me.”

But Mendes, he went on, “is great.”

“Would you like me to set you up with her?” DeGeneres asked.

“Yeah,” said Seacrest.

For now, Seacrest has one famous lady in his life: Paris Hilton. On Friday, he announced that they will develop a new scripted series together.

Ugh- a Paris Hilton scripted series? Like her other reality shows weren’t scripted. This is yet another reason to hate Seacrest, who is responsible for such reality show suckfests as “Keeping up with the Kardashians” and “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated.” Even if Ryan actually did like women, there’s no way Eva Mendes would want to associate herself with someone who thought those shows were a good idea. If I were Ellen, I would have thrown in a random photo of a really attractive female impersonator, just to see what Ryan would pick. Maybe that’s why I don’t have my own talk show.

    I think he’s hiding in the closet and isn’t ready to open the door.

    If by girls you mean erect penises, then of course he likes them.

  3. Aquarius says:

    Hmmm….Somehow, I don’t think that Eva’s boyfriend would appreciate Ryan taking her out!

  4. Jinxy says:

    If you see him in public you know immediately he’s gay. It’s possibly the worst secret in the world – he’s also a tiny person, he is not much taller than 5-3 without heels.

  5. dumdee says:

    i never thought he was gay, is he really?

  6. Kaiser says:

    Man, even a closet case doesn’t want to “pretend” date Aniston. ๐Ÿ˜†

  7. Daryl says:

    Personally I do NOT see RYAN SEACREST as a gay man ? Am I missing something here ?

  8. spoonman says:

    Seacrest gets more pussy in Hollywood than anyone else.

    I have personally seen him getting the top flight puntang and closing the deal.

    If he is Bisexual- it would be a surprise to anyone around him. However since he cares about his appearance and has a diva style attitude I can see how the gay rumors have come to light…

  9. Ethan says:

    Matt Damon and Ryan Seacrest have the same thing in common, or so I was told.

    Only one of them went the Rock Hudson way and actually got married and had children.

    So sad that till this day men can’t feel they can keep their status and career as what really they are.

  10. Lauri says:

    I can see why some might thing Seacrest is gay, but I really don’t think he is. And I think if he were, it probably wouldn’t be that big a deal. It’s 2008-who cares if someone is gay? It’s not like it would hurt his popularity at all.

  11. kate says:

    actually none of them are his type, because none of them have a penis.

  12. Jeanne says:

    Ain’t buying it Ryan. Tom Cruise seems more your type. Or maybe Ricky Martin.
    Maybe even Jude Law. Body language speaks volumes and when’s the last time you saw a straight guy posed like that with his hands stuck in his pockets?!

  13. Willow Smith says:

    Willow actually came out 1 of the most catchy radio songs in a long time. I am dancing in my chair as I’m listening to Whip My Hair right now.
