Ryan Seacrest admits he shouldn’t have run after Brangelina at Globes


On Sunday at the Globes, Ryan Seacrest got completely ignored by Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. He went down off a podium where he was interviewing celebrities and attempted to approach them on the red carpet, but they didn’t even give him a glance and continued to pose for photos. Seacrest had an awkward interview with the couple at the 2007 Globes, during which he got too personal with Angelina and Brad and kept pressing them about their home life and how they deal with fame. Re-watching it, it wasn’t too bad, but the issue was that Seacrest called Angelina cold the next day on his radio show and criticized her demeanor during that interview. Her mom was incredibly sick with cancer at the time and died less than two weeks later.

Now Seacrest has attempted to explain away the snub, saying it was his fault because he technically wasn’t supposed to go down off the podium and speak to the celebrities on the red carpet. Yeah right, that was it:

“I don’t think Angelina thinks I’m that important,” he said on his show Monday. “I don’t think I’m top of mind for Brad and Angelina. I honestly don’t believe they’d know who I was if I walked over there.”

See what Angelina Jolie and all the stars wore to the 2009 Golden Globe Awards!

When guest Perez Hilton told Seacrest that that’s impossible, as he hosts the No. 1 show American Idol, the TV personality shot back: “Yeah…but they live in France!”

Jolie and Pitt did stop for NBC’s Billy Bush, but Seacrest said, “there’s an NBC deal there. NBC hosted the Globes, and they have a deal to talk to the people who come to the Globes.

“Here’s what I realized when I went down there,” Seacrest went on. “I realized quickly that it’s against the rules to walk down onto the carpet from the platform.

“Then we went back down there and caught up with Tom Cruise, who I think is a terrific guy. I think he’s really cool,” he said. “By the way, have you seen his skin tone up close lately? You should!”

[From US Magazine]

Seacrest was absolutely terrible at the Oscars last year. He kept admitting how nervous he was and asked attendees inappropriate questions, like asking a then-pregnant Jessica Alba if she planned to breast feed.

Seacrest lives in LA – there are probably classes he can take that can give him the skills to interview celebrities. Like public speaking, it’s something you can train for and learn methods to get through. E! could even hire him a seasoned coach. Maybe getting snubbed by Brangelina will be the lesson he needs to clean up his act and start to act professionally.

    Ryan Seacrest needs to be spayed/neutered and put on ritalin.Stat.

    Any day now we’re going to read about him being hauled away on a gurney to some looney bin.

    He is desperate to be relevant and will do anything for attention. I wish he and Paula Abdul would go live on the moon.

    why does this ‘man’ have to be such a Douchey Mctoolface? what a hyperactive mosquito, jumping off the platform to chase B&A like an untrained puppy. and what kind of straight man coos about another man’s skin tone? seacrest is such a floozy.

  3. Kristen says:

    MSat –

    LMFAO

  4. my take says:

    Ang was a bitch in that first interview. She’s an actress and she couldnt even hide her distaste.

  5. Gina says:

    Ryan Seacrest is a closet homosexual. You NEVER see him with a woman and then all the sudden, he has a rompfest with different women in St. Barth?? Please! It’s just his attempt at trying to appear straight.

    As for his bumrushing on Brangelina.. pathetic.

  6. Abby says:

    Lol bros, I totally agree-gushing about Tom Cruise’s skin tone is definitely not helping to convince people that he’s straight!

  7. The Old KC says:

    I love the way Joel McHale (sp?) totally rags on Ryan Seacrest on the Soup. Makes my week, every week.

  8. Mairead says:

    Angelina doesn’t think he’s important – I agree with her.
    He’s not “top of mind” (yeh what?) for Brad? Oh don’t say that Ryan, how dare he think about his family, career, life, re-soleing his shoes before you! *roll-eyes*

    If AJ did hide her distaste for him, she’d be accused of being “fake” (the most annoying insult in the world). Now if she told him to ram his interview up his @rse, that could be considered impolite 😉

    Buuuut – despite Ryan’s gushing for Tommy, did he just make a sly dig at TC having had surgery?

  9. SarahS says:

    I read Brad & Angelina had already told E! they would not do an interview with Seacrest on Golden Globes night. If that’s true, he’s an asshole for pushing the issue. He’s annoying as all get out and has too many damn teeth. I don’t feel any particular way about Pitt and Jolie either though.

  10. daisy424 says:

    After watching the first interview, I can see why they won’t speak with him. He pushed for intimate details of their personal lives, not about the film, which is why they were there.
    It is obvious to me that Ryan was hoping to get ‘the scoop’, when all he walked away with was ‘the kids ate cereal for breakfast’.
    Seacrest is right about one thing; AJ/BP don’t know/give a crap who he is.

  11. kate says:

    ryan who?

  12. neelyo says:

    Please. I watched Joan and Melissa Rivers for years on the red carpet and THEY were snubbed. And if he wasn’t supposed to go on the red carpet, he has no right to bitch.

    And how appropriate that Ryan was talking with Perez Hilton. There’s someone who’ll never snub him.

  13. Ally says:

    Oh, please..they were rude and that’s final..I’m not a fan of seacrest, but I really felt sorry for him when I saw him running after them.Angelina and Brad are beautiful people and quite good actors, but they are soooo overrated.Everybody’s kissing their asses for nothing really, Paul Newman donated so much money to charity that I can’t even think of, but when brangelina gives 1 million it’s like heaven money.She’s a bitchy woman and i don’t like her..the first interview is nasty too, I mean I understand that her mother (god rest her soul) was ill, but if that’s the case then dammit stay home, don’t use that as an execuse to be an asshole…

  14. NotBlonde says:

    I think it was massively rude for them to completely ignore him. In another article on this website, someone said that Ryan didn’t know that Angelina’s mom was sick and didn’t know that that was why Angelina was being so distant.

    They are actors. Not the Pope. Do your stupid interview and get on with your life.

  15. He looked pathetic…and really, the viewers didn’t care that much to see what Brangelina had to say.

  16. Linda says:

    Ryan is annoying…but really high school behavior on Brangelina’s part to be so petty to snub him and E!

  17. Faye says:

    they just keep on creating drama for themselves…they should have at least been polite regerdless of weather they “liked” him or not. Angie is a bitch and Brad just follows her around like a male dog with his nose up a female dogs ASS!!

  18. Judy says:

    Why should they be polite to this seahag??? Pitt should have bitch slapped him and walked away.

  19. Leanne says:

    oh yeah and add physical harrasment to his record. Good 1 Judy!!

  20. Blanche says:

    Why, he isn’t good enough to eat the peanuts out of their SH*T!!! Angie is so different and special, WHO THE HELL does Seacreast think he is anyway. HOW DARE HE?!?!?!?!?! He’s lucky she even agreed to breathe the same air as him.
    GOD BLESS THE JOLIE-PITTS AND THE PEANUTS IN THEIR SH*T!!!!!!!!

  21. Blanche says:

    “Angelina doesn’t think he’s important”

    But she does think that she’s important.

  22. Ned says:

    Angelina doesn’t understand that the more people see what a bitch she is and how big is her ego, the less people would see her films, which are not doing so well to begin with.

    Angelina is a tabloid star, not a respected actress.

    Her peers do not respect her, as Kate Winslet subtly pointed out, and her bread and butter are the entertainment media outlets.

    Frankly, for a women who has no friends, and even managed to alienated her own father (after she used him to get her Oscar), she is making too many enemies.

  23. PJ says:

    Playing the tape, it looks as though Brad & Angelina didn’t hear Ryan Seacrest talking to them. They were posing for the cameras in front of them, and he was in back of them, off to the side, so they may not have seen him. But then Brad definitely glanced at him and they walked away.

    Hard to tell what really happened. One thing is for sure: if they had wanted Seacrest to interview them, it would have happened.

  24. me says:

    Gaycrest the kid from “Who’s the Boss”! He sux big the big one!!

  25. Shay says:

    They don’t have to talk to Ryan if they don’t want to. If he called me “cold” I wouldn’t want to talk to him either.

  26. MiMi says:

    If her mother was so damn sick last year she should have stayed her ass home, or been at the hospital. Her attitude was and is totally unprofessional.

    She’s a mental midget, a plastic surgery addict and a hypocrite. This is her JOB. Like him or not, Seacrest was one of the headlining interviewers there. They should have done their damn jobs, stopped to talk and gone about their evening.

  27. Sally says:

    Her job is not to do a damn interview on the red carpet. Brad was nominated, not her. She was there to support Brad and if she didn’t show up the press would have gone into a tizzy. She could have been nicer, but then again this is Ryan Seacrest and he is a nasty narcissist. That was a dumb question too. Brangelina snubbed him because of the question and the remarks he made the next day. You don’t insult someone and expect them to do you favor the next time. He was asking for a diss. And no matter how much you hate Angelina she is still a respected actress; she made it to the top of the box office and the awards ceremonies not only because of looks but because she has talent.

  28. Faye says:

    She was nominated too you dumb ass..and lost to kate winslet?? HELLO?? Respected actress yeah that’s why Winsket forgot her..that was priceless..Agree 100% tabloid star..think her and paris would get along great..both stuck up snobby biatchzzz
