SOLVED!
[Blind Gossip] This female TV star is livid over her new costar!
She helped to pick him but now she feels betrayed. He is diluting the attention their show should be getting by taking another job. She is saying that this feels like Groundhog Day all over again to her, because [her last costar] did the exact same thing!
What will she do about it? Absolutely nothing!
She’s going to smile (or grimace) and pretend everything is great and she loves that he has this alternate gig. She picked him. His contract didn’t exclude other gigs. Now she’s stuck.

SOLVED!
She: Kelly Ripa
He: Ryan Seacrest
Kelly Ripa was NOT a happy camper when her old co-host, Michael Strahan, started doing regular segments on Good Morning America!
The problem grew and grew until Strahan eventually left Live with Kelly and Michael to go work at GMA full time.
You see, when talent appears on more than one show, it dilutes their unique value. If fans of Strahan could catch him on GMA, seeing him again on Live a few hours later was less special and less necessary. It also signaled that his dedication to the success of Live had waned.
So when Ryan Seacrest joined Kelly Ripa as her new co-host…. and then subsequently accepted a second job as the host of American Idol – it felt like Groundhog Day!
To add insult to injury, Seacrest then agreed to appear on GMA to promote American Idol!
Uh oh!
If only Ryan Seacrest had read Blind Gossip back in June, he would have known better than to do the EXACT thing that was bound to infuriate Ripa and give her Strahan flashbacks!
Now Ripa has put her foot down and demanded that Seacrest cancel his appearance on GMA!
From The New York Post:
Kelly Ripa demands Ryan Seacrest cancel ‘GMA’ appearance
The curse of Michael Strahan continues to haunt Kelly Ripa.
Multiple sources revealed on “Page Six TV” Wednesday that Ripa, 47, demanded her “Live!” co-host Ryan Seacrest cancel an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America” at the very last minute.
“Ryan was scheduled to be on Wednesday’s show well in advance. He’s been on the show rundown for a week. Then yesterday, or maybe even as late as last night, Kelly threw a s–t fit and told him he couldn’t do ‘GMA,’ so he pulled his appearance,” a source told us.
Seacrest, 42, was supposed to appear on the show to promote ABC’s new “American Idol” season with judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan.
Seacrest immediately pulled the plug in order to not upset Ripa — who famously had a meltdown, stormed off and took a week off when Strahan, 45, quit her show without giving her advance warning in 2016 — another source added.
“It’s very clear that Ryan wants to stay on her good side. She’s an executive producer on the show, so she has a lot of pull. It’s fair to say she has a lot of influence over him. He joined her show. It sounds like she still feels threatened,” the source said.
“There’s still bad blood with Kelly and Strahan, and she doesn’t want history to repeat itself and Ryan to be lured to ‘GMA’ too,” the first source said.
“History repeating itself” = Groundhog Day!
Can you blame her?
Congratulations to Quiettalks22 for being first with the correct response!

Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest….as if she’s really shocked? He’s lined up to be the next Dick Clark / Casey Casem (yes I’m old) ?
katheryn says
Exactly, he is well known to be a workaholic. Did she think he would give up everything else for an hour a day. She sounds like such a pain in the butt, she’s a talk show host- and darn lucky she got the gig, thanks to Regis leaving.
ccattwood says
I know, right? He has a bunch of side jobs. One I wish he never did was to bring us the Kardashians!

I didn’t think that Kelly picked Ryan.
Having a series of great guest co-stars is so much better. I thought sh should keep going with that.

If exclusivity is so important to her, it should be written into his contract. She does not have that level of power, so while her anger may be valid, it’s useless.
He’s in for a bumpy ride with her.

Her anger is valid. Based on the proposed filming schedule of Live With and American Idol, he’s working nonstop for days if you count the commute – by air, crisscrossing the country. Yes he could do AI in his sleep and will perhaps be doing it with little to none, but a quality effort needs to be made. Not to mention the daily radio show he has. Let’s see if he goes back an additional year. And I may watch AI here and there to see if he’s coherent!

Serves her right if she allowed Ryan Seacrest onboard without that clause. It’s her own fault. And by the way, I watched the show today while Kelly was off and Busy Phillips co-hosted with Ryan, and I must say it was very enjoyable without Kelly. I think her time has passed (and I used to be a Ripa fan).

Nope – she is just jealous. It doesn’t take much prep for an hour show.

Who cares? Face it, they made the wrong choice and screwed over many great choices by dangilng the carrot for not. She’s too into herself. Don’t care if the show is canceled tomorrow! Loved to watch Kathy and Regis in days gone by, but don’t want to with her on there!

Good Lord girl.. How much attention do you need? Seacrest could do 4 shows with one leg in a cast! Go away!
bamagirl1980 says
Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest-other gig is American Idol. She should have known Ryan wouldnt be exclusively committed to their show. He made a big name for himself and he always has to be involved in multiple projects.

Kelly is a total headcase. She’s so insecure and such a diva that CBS should be seeking HER replacement. No one is irreplaceable, and her tantrums and antics over the years should’ve seen her taken down a peg or two, or dismissed for a newer, improved and more appreciative person. Get over yourself already Kelly, Seacrest has always been a muti-tasking, multi-media personality.

Her anger is valid if hosting American Idol interferes with his job on “Live” but she seems likely to be angry about him doing anything that didn’t focus attention on her

If there were no stipulations about other gigs then I don’t think her anger is valid.

Kelly Ripa
Ryan Seacrest
Really, what did she expect? She only pushed for him because she thought he would add some shine to her fast-tarnishing star. But he’s the bigger name than her and it was only a matter of time before he moved onto another prime-time gig. The only question is why he took the job in the first place. And NYC is not really his scene; he’s a Hollywood boy to the bone.
Conchord says
I’m not sure why Seacrest even took the gig. He’s never struck me as someone who wants to be known for one thing. It should come as no surprise that he will continue to do other shows.
It should have been Jerry O’Connell.
