Show Must Go On: Sick Seacrest Rallies (THR, MSNBC, TMZ)
By Hollywood Wiretap staff
A noticeably wan Ryan Seacrest took to the 'American Idol' stage Wednesday despite battling what some said was a stomach bug. Even Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe stepped in for Ryan during the dress rehearsal this afternoon, TMZ alerted fans. But Seacrest gutted his way through the two-hour show, even singing along in a Queen tribute. But the MSNBC Clicker clucked, "While he soldiered on and fulfilled his contractual obligations, all the time in the world with the makeup folks couldn�t keep him from looking like death warmed over or get him to stray far from either a chair or the judges� station." Earlier this week, Seacrest inked a lucrative new two-year deal to keep him on the show.
