I say (or write) what could be construed as vaguely critical things of Ryan Seacrest a whole lot, but actually I find him a lot more entertaining than, say, Joan Rivers ever was.

Like, say, how he gets into fashion-related conversations with Heidi Klum and Seal and, when she makes a reference to her genetically, demonically perfect bottom, he goes back to it (the subject, that is) as often as possible.

And then begins plugging Coke, because apparently has has forgotten they are not sponsoring this (at least, I assume they are not) as they do American Idol. (Should I go back to watching Idol? I used to be quite into it. I haven't since the Blake Lewis/Jordin Sparks season. So ... two years?)

Michael Sheen: Good guy. I interviewed him in Miami Beach a couple of years ago when he played Tony Blair (brilliantly) in The Queen. He's oddly cute in person. Also, he and Kate Beckinsale were together for a long time until she married (or whatevered) the director of, ahem, Underworld (aka Chauncey Mabe's total fave movie of all time). They have a child together and everything! I think that is germane, yes.
