The busiest man in the business
"I think the legacy that I hope to leave is that people think of me as their friend on the radio, their friend on TV, who made it look pretty easy and was a source or a conduit for escapism," -Ryan Seacrest
Ryan Seacrest is a media mogul. he does it all from radio and television to producing and editing. He is one of the only people to ever have partnerships with the big four broadcast networks. Viewers have seen his on-air work through his hosting on Fox's "American Idol," live correspondence from the Olympics on NBC and interviewing the biggest names in Hollywood on E!'s "Live From The Red Carpet." Listeners can hear him weekdays on his nationally syndicated radio show on KISS FM and American Top 40. These are just some of the many hats he wear in the business.
The quote at the top appeared in an interview with GQ where he discussed how he handles being one of the hardest working people in Hollywood. Many people have grown up watching him and he has become a familiar face whether it is on "American Idol or counting down the new year on "Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve" on ABC. In the quote he describes how he wants to be an outlet for people. He wants to be a friendly face to them and wants them show them what is going on in the world of pop culture.

Actors and academy members comment on the Oscar controversy
With the Academy Awards just weeks away, actors and members of the academy continue to weigh in on the lack of diversity in the nominees this year. For the second year in a year no actors of color were nominated in the acting categories, which has caused an uproar.
Penelope Ann Miller, member of the academy, said it was a competitive year in film and she supports the talent of black people.
She told The Hollywood Reporter, "To imply we are racists is extremely offensive."
Another member of the member said race was the furthest thing from his mind when his cast his ballot and he was also extremely offended.
Actress Halle Berry, who is the first and only African American woman to win the Oscar for best actress said the lack of diversity is "heartbreaking." Berry believed that her win was a break through for African American women but she is disappointed that no other woman of color has won since she won 15 years ago.
Actress Helen Mirren defended the academy and doesn't think it is fair to attack them. She said the industry needs to look at what films are made and how they are cast.
The problem with the lack of diversity in the nominations is not with the academy, but with the studios who are creating films. More films featuring people of color and different backgrounds need to be made in order to create more diversity. It is not the academy's fault if they don't not have enough movies about a variety of people to examine and vote on. Casting directors should hire actors of color.
