Ryan Seacrest Talks Crystal Bowersox Down

Guess our boho-tressed girlfriend had a little meltdown earlier in the month after a live taping of American Idol. After claiming that she “hated” the “attention” of the show because she couldn’t handle it (oh, come on), she admitted to Ryan and other individuals that she was throwing in the towel on the entire competition and had decided to head home to her family in Ohio. The ordeal was said to go down in an “empty lot” behind the studios one night after an episode wrapped.

Seacrest, who was apparently there, made no bones about his thoughts toward her winning this year’s entire competition; eyewitnesses claim that Seacrest told Crystal that if she won the competition, she’s receive a recording contract and reap all the benefits of being a millionaire. Seacrest went on to play the sympathy card by saying, “The greatest thing I ever did was make enough money so I could buy my mom a house. You can buy your mom a house.”

Damn, the drama. I mean, hissy fits in empty parking lots? Holy, crazy tension.  I can just imagine: the other Idol contestants, circling like vultures, leering and pulling faces while snapping the intro to “Jets and Sharks.” A spotlight emerges from a hidden alcove on the building’s exterior, illuminating the silhouettes of Bowersox and Seacrest so that they appear to be radiant beings of golden light — a fight to the finish.

Melodrama’s so thick you can almost chew it.

  • Personally I think it’s pretty awesome of her to admit that she couldn’t handle the whole ‘fame’ thing. Think of the amount of people who so obviously can’t but continue to go down that road and just end up fucking up their lives.
    I for one know that I could never handle it and I would never want it for exactly that reason.

  • Don’t give up Crystal! She is amazing and can have a great career. She’s my fav along with Casey.

  • She should go back to hunting Arnold in the swamp with a laser hanging from her gash this time.

    • Telly
      What a wonderful person you are.
      Such wonderful uplifting kind words. I’m sure you must have a lot of TRUE friends. OH!..and they must ALL look perfect and are probably extremely talented too, just as yourself.

  • Surely I’m not the only one that thinks she’s nothing special.. Way waaaay overrated in a completely sucktastic year for Idol.

    • What a worthless rude person. and YOU are PERFECT?
      You probably pick your nose and scratch your butt in public!

    • LiLde
      NO, as a matter of fact she did NOT know much about American Idol before she auditioned..She did not have a T.V….and Don’t you dare comment on THAT negatively! I did not have a T.V. for years and I have a pretty damn good job . I can’t believe how Ridiculously rude and hurtful people can be…not even rude but down right nasty!! Get a life….all you perfect self righteous humans.

    • Actually, she says she does not have a T.V. Says only saw if a couple of times. Now you think, yea right, but hey..I did not have a T.V. for years while raising my daughter and I did not live in the jungle either.

  • Maybe she’s just upset ’cause she’s got a son, whom she can’t spend time with. I mean it IS very dreadful for a mom to leave her son in Ohio while she is in Hollywood. Good thing Seacrest was there to help! She’s a very GREAT singer!

  • I for one think she deserves to win or at least come in second if she wants to quit for what ever reason thats her choice I wouldnt want her to but again thats her decision. I think she would have a great carreer singing and I would buy everyone of her albums. Go crystal. Stick with it and you will be fine.
