A reminder: this is not Happy Hour. These are not real celebrity encounters. I’m not as star-studded as the Surferwife.
I’m a Nerd Mafia don, folks. And as such, I rigged this vote. Joaquin will be running into David next week. That was just too much crazy for me to throw something quickly together. That encounter needed to be heavily pondered.
So this is…..American Idol! I mean, Ryan Seacrest. Aren’t the two the same thing by now, anyway?
You may think that David would have a problem with Ryan Seacrest. He’s floofy, he’s super metro, he’s the front man for an evil empire.
You would be wrong.
David (and I) have a guarded respect for the meticulously groomed host. He’s got a skillset – a very specific skillset – and he has capitalized on it to no end. He looked at his possible career path and found a way to make the most of it. And now has more jobs than anyone in the history of ever. I heard that God himself recently asked Seacrest to emcee the Christmas party in heaven.
Seacrest declined since he’s not sure he has the right angelic attire. Should his stylist work that out, he may just find a way to fit it into his schedule.
Oh, who am I kidding? Seacrest would never turn down a job.
And that is what makes David love him. He admires his work ethic, his business savvy, his well-cut suits. Well, perhaps not that last one, but David does love a good suit. He respects Seacrest’s ability to make his very specific skillset into a career without becoming a total preening schmo. I mean, he was even able to laugh at himself in Knocked Up.
Who else can you say that about? Tom Cruise? Well, now I’m just being glib.
Many of you were sure that Seacrest’s perfect hair would be a deterrent for David. While I’m sure ragging on him about it would provide David hours of fun, one of David’s best friends is, well, fabulous. David is not unused to fussy male dressers. Or discussions about one’s hair.
David may, however, be rather upset if his words were frequently used for soundbites. Because he has a tendency to be rather…colorful. It could get out of hand. But then, he did demand his own fake celebrity encounter feature on this here blog, so he might like the attention.
Verdict: Close friends who could not, under any circumstances, share wardrobes.
I like this. While I don't watch any of Ryan's shows, I admire his determination too. He saw where the tv viewers were going and get got in there and gave them what they wanted.
I love your blog–one never knows what ones gonna get here.
haha! emcee heaven's xmas party! love it.
I met Ryan Seacrest once, at a party when I lived in Hollywood. this was back when he was mostly a radio DJ and Idol had had maybe 1 season.
and he was quite the little douchebag.
but I'm sure he's a nice guy now.
Excellent use of the word “floofy.”
Crap! I thought he would punch him in the neck! I will never be able to see where these are going…dang it! I'm always wrong.
Can you have him punch SOMEONE in the neck??? Please?? LOL
I'm totally in agreement here. Whatever daily vitamin Ryan takes, I'll have 150. He's like the world's most diminutive workhorse.
whoa. i'm shocked! he'd LIKE seacrest?!?! david's an intricate guy.
i like the phrase “in the history of ever!”
Your cleverest celebrity encounter that never happened yet.
Respect without borders, I love it.
This was aweSOME.
Christmas party in Heaven! Angelic attire! This made me sputter my morning coffee. Thank you. I, too, admire The Seacrest. What's not love about swift, witty replies to everything? His tongue dances the Irish Jig faster than anyone I know.
Ha! Tom Cruise….but I digress.
Ryan Secrest just seems to be in a league all his own, and I'm almost wondering if Justin Bieber might someday be able to take over for him, if that whole singing thing doesn't work out.
Wow, I didn't think there was another person out there who admired Seacrest's fame smarts!
David's an attention whore?
Your celebrity encounters ROCK!
Altho, I wouldn't think Seacrest and David would get along. That man is full of surprises. David, not Seacrest.
