Ryan Seacrest gets bitten by a shark, survives to produce more crappy shows


“American Idol” host and executive producer of the abominations that are the Denise Richards and Dina Lohan reality shows, Ryan Seacrest, suffered a minor shark bite over the weekend. The uber-annoying Seacrest discussed the incident on his radio show. It was a minor bite and Ryan will live to carry on his world tour of aggravation and bad taste.

So much for a relaxing trip to the beach.

On his KIIS-FM radio show Monday, Ryan Seacrest said he decided to take a dip in the ocean over the weekend when, he said, “I was bit by a shark!”

See more photos of stars at the beach.

He said he was “about eight feet out” when he felt something swim by him.

“I thought it was a stick,” he said. “I wasn’t sure what had happened.”

Then, he said, “I saw it swim! He took a bite, and he left.”

Seacrest, 33, said the shark’s tooth “wasn’t a great thing to find. It was like finding a splinter!”

Although he said he was “in pain,” the American Idol co-host wasn’t hurt too badly, as he still went on the air to blab about it. (“I need to take an Advil!” he yelped.)

But he’s bitter.

Asked by his radio co-host if anyone else got bit, Seacrest lamented: “No, just me, of course! There were like 1,000 people in the ocean, and I get bit by the shark!”

Maybe it was hard to find that shark tooth lodged in his little toothpick leg due to all that self-tanning cream and spray-on glitter. I like to think that the shark was trying to do us all a public service by eating the tiny tanorexic host. Or, maybe the shark was part of an elaborate hit put out by Simon Cowell.

    Dang it! I paid good money for that hit! Now I must think of something else to get rid of him. I want a refund!

  2. Kimmy says:

    When I saw the headline of this post, I originally thought ‘bitten by a shark’ was a reference about him ‘jumping the shark’, perhaps related to the Dina Lohan and Denise Richards reality shows he produced.

    Douche: 1, Sharks: O

  4. neelyo says:

    Poor shark. I hope its had a tetnus shot.

  5. Syko says:

    Neelyo, I was just going to ask if the shark survived.

  6. Kaiser says:

    Because I Say So, I’ll help you fund another hit. I’ve got $20 for a Seacrest Bloody Death Fund… how much did that first shark charge?

  7. Alicia says:

    πŸ˜† You guys are cracking me up! But I do hope the poor shark didn’t get infected with anything. Hey does anyone know where Jaws lives? He’d probably do it for free and do it for the good of all America. :mrgreen:

  8. Obvious says:

    This is depressing. I mean sharks have bad wrap, but at least this one was smart enough to know after one taste that Seacrest is toxic.

  9. Alicia says:

    Amen Obvious! 8)

  10. snappyfish says:

    neelyo…great post. I am sorry for the shark too. Imagine the taste that poor creature has in it’s mouth

  11. Mairead says:

    The shark should be easy enough to find – just look for the one that’s stained orange – and has a haunted far-away look in it’s eyes πŸ˜†

  12. Because I say So says:

    Kaiser: With your $20 and my $2 bill, we should have enough for another hit. Just be sure that Seacrest is in the ocean again next week, and I’ll take care of the rest. He’s tortured the world long enough and now must pay πŸ˜†

  13. SixxKitty says:

    Guess there’s no teaching those sharks good taste, although he did reject the sour mouthful, mores the pity!

  14. That shark has the taste of lame in his mouth !

  15. I choose me says:

    I was hoping to see Ryan Seacrest got bitten by a shark…dies. DAMN! 😈

  16. DogRunner says:

    Hope the shark is ok…… Probably took one bite and spit him out.

  17. sauvage says:

    Men are not shark’s natural food, so usually sharks only do a test bite and then back off – which happened here.

  18. Nan says:

    MSat, was that you who came up w/this header? Had me laughing.

  19. Nan says:

    Mairead, hysterical. You won the banana this time around.

  20. Modesty says:

    The shark spit him out because it vomited a little in its mouth after tasting the Crest of the Sea

  21. Ian says:

    As if this guy wasn’t everywhere already…now he has to show up and ruin Shark Week on the Discovery channel.

  22. Mairead says:

    Woo! Thanks Nan πŸ˜†

    Why is this man all over the shop – I only ever see him on American Idol and that’s more than enough.

  23. lanette says:

    i can not stand ryan gaycrest…he is an ass an over rated asshole 😯 😳 πŸ™„ 😐

  24. Angel says:

    I think you guys that bag on Seacrest are jealous because of the great shows he hosts… if all; his shows were “annoying” and “crap” like most of you are bitching about then why would billions of people watch them and they still be aired….. Maybe its your own lack of intellegance that is the problem. You should evaluate yourself before juding someone thousands of times more productive and prosperous then yourself. Have a nice day!

    oh my fxcking gosh! that poor shark! I’ll definately help fun for the hit against seacrest! [: i’ll pay $5 for the fund. and lets all chip in to pay for those tetnus shots that shark needs to get. that shark has already been through enough trauma as it is! πŸ˜€
