Now -- get off for charity last -- such a young guy doing a great job when he -- stage these reporting on the breaking news to a celebrity interviews doing investigative reports really really fun -- you'll select the top interview with Ryan Seacrest he's usually in the background there filling them with hot stories we've got -- live right now.
And a local boy from Western New York the morning can do.
Eric boring guy at the Carter I lost her voice plan that would. Look like.
Irate yelling that you wrote that I care about the problem -- shouting at each other -- is so much fun hanging out with you Europe collapsed. That your diet but aren't you look great by the -- I think he's very -- out and yeah it looks very eighties may disagree. Glamorous. About it that's okay of the dresses page can you know I don't think I only can do so much -- so -- Don't let them. Whatever on the ice -- you go up in Western New York.
You know I actually occurs mostly in Hamburg -- I would have fun here high school. Play a lot hockey in the Al west Seneca two years and played it what you bought the juniors favors and -- that was always upstate New York ecology Colgate to actually -- three month stint as a reporter at the Buffalo News fellow. I delivered the Buffalo News -- kid the other guy got really local guy but in 94 -- left. Those guys kinda went on -- traded up much Angeles then eventually that he and I guess there to this country.
If it's what's a great story though.
What led you to entertainment news as you can go hard news or you can go you know which -- doing now.
Well you IE I really enjoy Hollywood I -- used. Take the Adam polity in the -- of the word celebrity's. Ardent spirit needs to celebrate. -- when these guys like well these blockers he's just trying to scare people down and I have really what I'm all about it this taking. I straightforward approach to journalism like you would maybe covering. You know Capitol Hill that kinda got -- covering Hollywood and now weigh in and to me that's my comfort zone and yeah I have fun with and -- that I I don't -- countries the good people want it -- dirt lot off the party. People like what's really going on with Eva Longoria did Tony Parker achieve if they aren't exactly what -- go.
Okay good so let's start there what's going on with Eva Longoria did -- our utility --
are really he got enough they keep. Well basically I think first the ball whenever. You're gonna get married and NBA players did not -- discouraging their speed to. Get overly general about NBA star is good. -- kinda got to know you're getting into it that generally speaking. It was particularly since the lot of what I've been -- people especially -- that very very sweet girl. I'll work very very hard and Desperate Housewives and various other things she does including a lot of charity work in cheaper than some of the movies over the last three years they were married for a little over three years. We what you have to understand it's only you arrived being married or -- site. Hey -- every morning every it. Has seven days a week everything tasted. These are people who barely cites other house besides -- really -- only maybe a year year and a half in real life terms you know I -- kind of look at LA. And -- and given that it's been a lot of kind of hard and -- they say their options -- thunderbird. Maybe versus some of these guys and actually I won here.
Could be a good. Idea you know anyway we of the story this morning that he didn't close out some program on his computer than a dollar text messages. -- I agree that.
Sure there's a lot actually gone on.
Tell -- is a little bit of a bad boys so.
All I -- he's -- he's one of France and it's and is unrelated to a guy -- now graduate they can't -- ridiculous or we can't look at the problem my next question is about Jessica Simpson and nick --
It was that I mean we're about them both getting engaged.
I military -- it was about the Yankees spending that's been developed currently over for me because five years actually destroying. Four. And he gave the announcer engagement. And and you know really together for very long time really want -- have a couple that lot of people almost assumed -- already. And then ten days after they make Bennett announced today.
What happens Jessica Simpson heads who tried so hard to separate herself for -- they would not be involved not be associated with him and try to move --
She announced that her engagement to a former NFL player and so adamant -- this very suspicious.
I would say that I have I would cause suspicions I do know Jessica I've been around -- a little bit. I think that she just has this knack for kind of bad timing in setting yourself up for bad publicity. It's not really. -- deliberate and it's not something where she was.
Trying to steal their thunder show like look I'm not only not only look I'm getting married --
It was I really don't think that's something like that it really was more.
You know just the timing of -- and but I think what made people think is really suspicious is that usually would think iceberg not even six months.
The girls there he sure does badly she founded a cool guy who graduated from Ivy League college I needed Sally she's with these. So we have to get chose the right man -- they.
Economic and he's not gonna be disciplined football and at times he's. -- I know -- stand on the relationship now did she really liked her own rink and.
God. Tabloid reports errors and has he ever get around this guy can these political unemployed. He was that one camera the most highly paid their receivers and and a valid that -- case -- He has ecology got a clean look from Yale -- I think -- he's gonna decline he can find ways to. You make ends meet American League not backtrack.
What do you think was the biggest entertainment story I you know because it's gonna start happening because we're in the end November. What would you say as e.'s chief news course bats fond of what would you say was the biggest entertainment story this year.
Well I mean. Clearly there is there a clear -- program last year when we had and the deficit Michael Jackson and and I'll let alone create an -- the a Tiger Woods. It's right on the I'm last year. And that was I was very intense very very intense times. And then it this year was really dominated for many months by the whole Mel Gibson melt down. And I think it it's sort of story that. If it weren't for those audiotapes. That were leaking got -- on the lab. It really -- better figure this story just would have been maybe people caring about Gibson and they yelling it is you know. -- my rootkit is bringing out on -- but it would have had that. Sort of immediate he had intensity that we had were these endless endless recording. And I think that story when you -- it back on it. Was the dominant story in Hollywood and and it is it's too bad I I think -- guys. Pretty much I mean it is good yeah take awhile for this -- to come back but that's that's definitely. The story that really captured people's stunt people shocked -- that had people talking burger joint I'm sure you guys talked about it.
I'll tell Iran I think he'd like if I'm gonna have a mind my 2010 table of crazy so far it's gotten Mel Gibson and it. Charlie Sheen and I always Kiefer Sutherland is always differed take your shirt off night you know -- senior -- here -- that he's standard I think so too. Uncle that it was comes at Thanksgiving that's my table of crazy so far cannot turn back into this candidate.
And no one on the series out of things to run it Jason's story from LA the publicist that was. Shot do you think that was a random thing do you think it was -- do with the industry.
Seattle before last telling came came to buffalo at the end of the week -- one of the news story that broke well actually on the phone with someone he's in the public is community. And this person was telling me that. The police were looking at as they -- the crime of passion. Then there was some sort of personal element there. That particular area where she was. We had children of real people -- America agreed to longtime publicist a lot of promoter a lot of big studio movies pretty well known in the community. Which is driving home from a screening of burlesque. And I was by herself in her book streetcar and next thing you know and they're right there in the middle Beverly Hills says she's gunned down -- the car and and she was killed and and did -- know that area Beverly Hills they I don't think anyone's broken. Fingernail and finally. You know ever been shot there so it definitely seemed to stretch -- and -- really PD in the Beverly hills police aren't solitary person trying to figure this out. But it's certainly didn't seem that there's there's something very personal going on there are and a closer to the tragedy obviously her for her family and and her Hollywood community issues there are really nice lady.
And I'm on a lighter notes the story of Christine and delay or the break up. Did she messed around with one of the guys in the movie you know that this.
Well I had I idea of the sources who told me that there. Let's a very close friendship at the very least. With. You know when the members of the crew on on burlap skin -- this guy and it's certainly seems like there's something there good. You know in my years of covering. Very Jews. Great the -- it is whatever of the we're there every -- you'd you know broad range of experiences of these celebrity romances. That's the truth is usually these somewhere in between men and figuring out the timeline of when -- its relationship went sour and somehow became involved in their party became involved. It's you know he's one of the hardest things actually. Celebrity journalists to figure out I what I will say is that. I think from the very beginning that Christina Aguilera and her now ex husband George Bradford hooked up where people not to be mean but they -- like.
Why is Hewitt has -- exactly -- Him. I'm pretty good night.
Guy you want it's but but I think people of this college can't be filming them look together at the officials. So I think there at that time and her life. I he was in helping manager she had trouble trusting. -- guys and and it was the right relationship at that time of her life goes nearly today quote -- group part.
Why can't Jennifer Aniston keep them. Yeah we're really going to on the list that well yeah -- and that it. Syria and rapid -- delivery got and I'm not Dudley Ken baker.
That should make my day on you know I think Garrett Jennifer Aniston at this point.
I think that she had which she got was this fairy tale ideal marriage would print heads. And you know back in 2000 and in and of course we all know how that ended. And I think that she after that became very. Very self prescribing that -- a good way she became. And I think a lot of women comprise relates to this that. She really felt like well you know what I mean appeal Lou always rely and a guy and and by the way I'd -- millions of dollars. And yeah I'm gonna kinda do it my way she -- a lot of people in her life in children for -- the only current could have Carty Cox's. Child and these -- so we are delighted daughter -- cocoa and so I think she really worked hard to construct a life. Where she could be independent. And of course we -- know that's because we need to get a year and a building walls around yourself and hang hard trust people America thing. That's always been my future -- faces. It's so hot it's hotter than forty that you looked at thirty. And I think this is so beautiful and are really good person and so. I think she'll ultimately figured out find someone to achieve incredibly picking guess what you can afford to be.
I guess you can actually got a governor well enough now I will say he's hot spot. I don't think he's the sexiest man Ryan Reynolds.
You know what though he's a good guy and I love I I have always hats off to good guys in and and for that matter if you look at People Magazine nice to work if People Magazine. If you look at sort of the list it is sexiest man alive and -- that. You know there's been a lot of good guys they've put our -- you. George Clooney comes to mind I mean he actually legitimately that good guys Matthew McConaughey anybody's interactive in the coming out party with -- by the way note that. -- I would put Ryan Reynolds in that good looking -- really good guy category. And so and you know I don't -- you that a lot of a lot of girls are -- newsroom expected Gifford say.
Laid -- cheaper I just I don't know if he's hot test.
Well you know what it's all about sort of the right guy at the right time and good thing about that that People Magazine listed. They say it's always great it's go to great debate and then they'll get people talking is that let's face it. What is one of the most subjective thing in the world.
Trying to get women in Erie county which diet. -- your heart is -- a Unix. I want these people elected politicians debate these issues. And it and it.
And Andy did these debates are nothing compared to women debating over the water cooler lately he's hotter so now --
I have to say because we're both that can't walk for charity last night are United States goalie Ryan Miller. As Tommy Lee you know from Motley crew that was hot he gets that are is that.
I was by the way I have to say I'm so proud of Ryan -- got -- real honor courage to get to know him.
And all the money that they -- I was just reading -- to me because -- 200000 dollars last night. He's straight bet that's gonna bring him pretty much close to 8589101000. Dollars rate of the last five years.
And these are directly impacting children here in this community people so he -- associates Russell Carter.
All the great things that currently is you're doing it it is just. Really really special charity ever and came out real III just so impressed. And had a great time including you -- really great job is and -- need to let you looked really beautiful. But I have to say no -- and operate the way that guy was stressed that we yeah anomaly but ultimately yeah it wasn't too hard to look good Mexican.
I like that that helped me a lot again. -- on our last at bat you -- that and so are my final question in this is this is the most important one Ken baker.
Not you know look I know this one. Well you know people aren't actually encryption they reload ethnic Russians and against. It what I intercourse -- as soon as I know because it is so competitive. And there's there's so many blogs are so many TV news outlet. Magazine so I always sure when I get something sort from the start. You're the first to know and and not enough to deflect but it really is secure but what I can tell you. Is that you know there's there's some there's a lot of interest being hook up happening in Hollywood and -- Did things like their relationship slides in with some really change celebrities and I think a lot of people be surprised that he's dating who now but. I I'm gonna wait till I can verify these little horses go to court. I it will report that I promise you as it is I can get that can.
It was closest to being sourced.
They get you to throw one out there that like you got like two out of three sources are saying -- swift would you ever believed. Yet Taylor Swift and that you don't know yet is better you know.
The way that that's a real that it really scholarship they're. Lot of yeah we totally confirm that but yeah a lot of people didn't want to believe that good that'd be a legitimate. Relationship then. I don't know how. You know make it could really work out long term but I think it's fun and now I hate --
Something you don't get an LA member buffalo weather when it changes like in two seconds look out your window right now totally our --
Nobody said at a hotel here nominated pack up in the airport nobody goes for a nice walk a little bit -- on. What happens -- I think it is true that not -- stated.
Oh you -- limits available to show you know this is buffalo it's either find your little taste -- our weather changing every six seconds. On the record I'm excited for you to see a picture of Taylor Swift from last night at the American music awards she rocked the completely poker straight hair with bangs. I did see that's see that picture hot.
I did. Com I have personally. Like -- I don't like they'll look for hurt a little blue earth.
Her appeal is not high fashion and sort of glamour model lot of folks she is. Her appeal is the girl who. With the wavy -- in the years. I dancing on the shoulders -- acoustic guitar so I personally that I don't think that's a look at kind of holding her manager image I wouldn't recommend it -- again.

Thanks for having me and everyone who is secular Syria last night just yet thank you so my ancient and ever in this community who really is rallying around Bryant is cause. It's a great cause and I'm I'm sorry -- and -- authority for next year I was innocent lonely.

You Ryan Seacrest I'm just like that you -- and it's bail while it's doubled him up and I think. Oh my her eye opener particular lead didn't hear that. And I was like why would you -- gonna be upset that he and baker come.

Do they like is anything like that in LA. That -- well that kind of a celeb where where you get all the players from the team you know whether it's you know. The kings the lakers it just seems like it's really special event that -- let's bring -- you know --
They're really -- appoint -- special it really is nothing like and our fans there charity events and things and and I know some of the LA kings and the ducks and and there's a lot of great guys that they're. Nothing like the relationship. That this community has with that hockey team and those players it is intent. It is personalized Internet. And those players know it and I'll tell you that is felt and take it works both ways to when you look at does you know and I speak as a former College Hockey players did have very -- this. Captain of a minor league level I and I I can understand how they struggled at birth this year because. They are so much intensity focused on the team that declares them. Want to play so well for everyone here in pounds that's some kind that the pressure to get Lilly. What we'd rather go in danger vehicle I feel like less pressure because everyone cares so much but it being great they -- turn things around in an emulate Oprah for the past for the rest of the season.
And Andrew Peters dressed as Tom Cruise wearing no -- gonna let the you know asked -- been as a --
Most disturbing -- that was the constant contest but I'll pay that. It would seem most disturbing moment of the night when he skated dropped. Can clearly that he pulled it thinking -- dropping his.
