14 July 2009
Apart from being the host of one of, if not the most successful reality TV show in history, Ryan Seacrest has added another milestone in his hosting resume: the highest paid reality TV host ever.
Seacrest, the American Idol host who shares the celebrity podium with American Idol judges Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul, Kara DioGuardi, and the infamous Simon Cowell, has just been granted a raise – a $45 million raise – that extends his stint with “AI” for three more years.
The raise is more like a financial freedom plan, considering that Seacrest’s old contract gives him “only” $5 million per season and ensures a run at the hosting spot through 2012.
“I’m truly appreciative of being part of a show that has had such an enormous impact on popular culture across all ages,” acknowledged Seacrest.
Simon Fuller, the creator of American Idol, had this praise to say about Ryan Seacrest: “Ryan is an essential ingredient to American Idol’s success, and I am so happy that we will continue our relationship beyond ‘Idol’ into the future. Ryan is without doubt one of American television’s most talented stars.”
Seacrest could not contain his excitement for his new contract, as he twittered, “Very excited about locking in a deal to host Idol for this season and the following 2.”

Apart from American Idol, Seacrest, also is a host at E! News, a daily radio show, and American Top 40.
With such a hefty contract, do you think that the other characters in the show – the four American Idol judges – deserve the same or even a more significant pay raise than American Idol host Ryan Seacrest? More interestingly, what do you think Simon could have said upon hearing the Seacrest’s good fortunes? “Appalling”?

Kara DioGuardi, an American Idol judge, is a stalwart in the American music industry. DioGuardi is a singer-songwriter, record producer, music publisher, A&R executive, and now a TV personality because of her judging role in American Idol.
Kara DioGuardi has worked with pop stars like Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Hilary Duff and Paula Abdul.
As an American Idol judge, Kara sits alongside Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell, and new AI judge Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen DeGeneres replaced Paula Abdul because of the latter’s contract disputes with FOX.
Upon joining AI as a judge on its eighth season, Kara DioGuardi has served as a steady and fair judge, a stark contrast to the eternally nice and pleasing Paula Abdul and the nasty and critical Simon Cowell. Apart from working as an American Idol judge, DioGuardi has also served as Vice President of A&R for Warner Bros. Records since 2008.
Kara DioGuardi pictures reveal most of her best moments as a music industry mainstay and her American Idol highlights. Kara DioGuardi bikini pictures can also be seen there, where she performed next to “Bikini Girl” in the finale of American Idol Season 8.
Kara DioGuardi videos showcase her best talents on video. Here, Kara DioGuardi in a bikini wows the crowd with her sexy performance alongside Bikini Girl. Her interview with Jimmy Kimmel can also be seen here, together with her writing and performance of her song, “Strangers and Angels.”
