'Idol's Ryan and Paula Disagree on Feud 1 hour, 13 minutes ago


NEW YORK - "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest says he and judge Paula Abdul aren't speaking to one another, but Abdul calls reports of a feud "ridiculous."

Seacrest told People magazine last week that his relationship with Abdul was "awkward."
"I don't know what the deal is. It's very awkward," he was quoted as saying.
The 31-year-old Seacrest, who openly spars with "Idol" judge Simon Cowell, told the magazine: "Simon and I go back and forth with each other, but it's in a different way."
Asked if he was speaking to Abdul, Seacrest answered, "No."
Seacrest also said he hadn't talked to Abdul about the apparent rift.
"You know, I walked past her dressing room the other day and there was a group of people gathered in front of the door, so I can't even talk to her," he said.
Abdul dismissed reports of off-camera animosity in a statement Tuesday to The Associated Press.
"Reports of a feud are ridiculous," the 43-year-old former pop star said. "We are one funny dysfunctional family. There's nothing but love."
Any tension between the "Idol" host and judge might have come after their separate appearances on "The Tonight Show."
In Seacrest's March 30 guest spot, host Jay Leno joked about Abdul's "loopy" behavior in an "Idol" episode, to which Seacrest replied: "Well, have you listened to her album?"
And when Leno playfully asked whether Abdul had been drinking alcohol, Seacrest said, "Hey look, I don't look in their cups to see what's sitting before them on that table. But at times I feel like we have reeled her in."
During her April 10 appearance, Abdul shot down rumors that Seacrest was dating "Desperate Housewives" star Teri Hatcher.
"He only kisses the mirror," Abdul said. "And honestly, do you think Teri Hatcher is that desperate of a housewife?" http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060425/...BHNlYwN5bmNhdA--

Ryan used to be funny but now he has the biggest ego ... You can't say things like that and not expect to get it in return.

I liked it better when there was just some jabbing & read-between-the-lines insulting going on. Now, the four of them seem outright hostile to each other half the time. It's not funny anymore. Paula's drunk or something, Simon has become increasingly caustic to Ryan & Paula, & Ryan seems out to prove that he's no longer Simon's doormat. I guess Randy is the only one who acts right.

What is up with Paula lately? She is one messed up chick.

Seacrest is a walking ego, as well as Simon.

I can't believe after Paula's stunt with the young dude last year, her drunken behavior on the show, getting there late and this latest club freak show that they haven't fired her yet!

I also can't believe any man would be attracted to her strangeness. Oh well.

Her last two boyfriends were REALLY hot. Actually she's still supposedly dating one of them ...
