Us: Seacrest says "Griffin out!"

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on January 17th, 2006

Us Weekly reports that mean old Ryan Seacrest flexed his ever-growing muscles and bumped Kathy Griffin out of her regular red carpet snark dispensing gig.

Hot Stuff has learned that Ryan Seacrest, 31, got comic Kathy Griffin, 44, axed from her hosting gig on E! says a source, “Kathy has been awful to him” in her standup act, so when Seacrest finalized a new deal with the network (worth $21 million over three years) he made sure Griffin got the boot.

Who can blame him? Griffin can’t be surprised. Very few, if any, of the people whom Griffin savages in her act are ever in a position to affect her in any significant way. But, oh, if they ever end up in one, look out. (We can’t figure out the hostility toward Seacrest in the first place. He’s good at what he does. Some folks counter that by saying that, off camera, he’s an a**hole. Well, duh, who in Hollywood isn’t? Or, if they aren’t, who isn’t rumored to be so?)

We’re watching the Globes tonight, waiting for the editors of US Weekly to send us the link to photos of the worst dressed Globe attendees so we can trash them for a special Fashion Police.

And what is with Isaac Mizrahi? He was asking every woman on the carpet if they were wearing underwear! And, he cheekily (and gently) grabbed Scarlett Johansen’s left breast on camera. He’s either the gayest (and therefore the least threatening) man in Hollywood… or the smartest heterosexual man in Hollywood.
