Even if Ryan Seacrest and Lindsay Lohan do team up for a new reality show, it looks like that project will in no way prevent Seacrest from continuing in his very lucrative spot as host of the most popular reality show of all, American Idol! And Seacrest, 34, with the high energy of youth, shows no signs of simply stepping back and enjoying his success, but is on track to become one of the busiest and highest earning achievers in the entire entertainment industry!
Move over Donald Trump, there is a new, young business giant on the rise!
Already Seacrest, in addition to American Idol duties, anchors E! News and hosts a daily radio show and American Top 40. His easy style as a television host seems to mask his high energy and equally high business ambitions.
Seacrest and Lohan, according to nydailynews.com, met last month at H’Wood to discuss joint venture ideas. “Met with Lindsay last night about a show idea I have for her … It helps people an gives others a second shot. Still putting it all together,” Seacrest wrote on Twitter.
Lohan described the project as “something meaningful like Extreme Home Makeover on ABC.” Rumors are that show will focus on people who have headed down the wrong track and will receive $1 million to turn their lives around with a second chance. It is also rumored that Lohan’s role will be as one of the judges who listen to stories from contestants.
Of course, Seacrest has already developed considerable experience in the reality television world as the “mastermind” of NBC’s “Momma’s Boys,” MTV’s “Bromance” and E!’s “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated” and “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”
Word on the street is that 19 Entertainment and Seacrest, along with Frementle and Fox, will on Monday announce a deal that will keep Seacrest on “Idol” for another three years and make him one of the highest paid hosts of a reality television show. He reportedly already earned $5 million for this season under his current contract. And part of the deal, according to industry sources, is that the deal will allow him to develop new projects with Idol creator Simon Fuller and 19 Entertainment.
