I don't like Ryan Seacrest

I love this whole Angelina and Brad diss Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet at the Golden Globes thing. Full disclosure: I find Ryan Seacrest to be one of the more irritating humans on the planet (actually, in my opinion, kinda comparable to Beyonce, though my dislike of her is a bit more irrational). Anyway, the reality that Seacrest is all over the place, and everywhere all day, makes it worse. So the fact that I may have a dislike for this guy in common with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie makes me feel happy, and a little cooler, as a person. The part where Seacrest chases them down the carpet, and walks away empty, is picture perfect in so many ways. Here's where he shows some humility about the whole thing, but still comes off looking like an ass:
On his KIIS-FM radio show Monday, Ryan Seacrest spoke out about Angelina Jolie dissing him on the red carpet at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards. Seacrest had gotten up next to the actress and beau Brad Pitt, hoping to score an interview on E!'s pre-show.
"Hi, guys. Brad? Angelina?" he said, but they ignored his advance and brushed by him.
Seacrest's take on the incident? "I don't think Angelina thinks I'm that important," he said on his show Monday. "I don't think I'm top of mind for Brad and Angelina. I honestly don't believe they'd know who I was if I walked over there."
When guest Perez Hilton told Seacrest that that's impossible, as he hosts the No. 1 show American Idol, the TV personality shot back: "Yeah...but they live in France!"
Jolie and Pitt did stop for NBC's Billy Bush, but Seacrest said, "there's an NBC deal there. NBC hosted the Globes, and they have a deal to talk to the people who come to the Globes.

"Here's what I realized when I went down there," Seacrest went on. "I realized quickly that it's against the rules to walk down onto the carpet from the platform.
"Then we went back down there and caught up with Tom Cruise , who I think is a terrific guy. I think he's really cool," he said. "By the way, have you seen his skin tone up close lately? You should!"
Seacrest clashed with Jolie before: At the 2006 Golden Globes, he asked her what she fed her children that day and she icily replied, "Cereal, we made cereal."
He later called her "cold" for being so unresponsive. Turns out, Jolie's mother, Marcheline Bertrand, was on her death bed at the time.

I hate Ryan Seacrest too. I absolutely HATE that people compare him to Dick Clark. Not that Dick Clark was that cool, but he was never that smarmy. Blech.
PS - I think your anonymous poster is a Ryan Seacrest intern crawling the web for his name.
