Ryan & Teri Hatcher
Seacrest is spotted kissing Desperate Housewives' Teri Hatcher. But, Hatcher tells Oprah, "I haven't seen [Seacrest] since that day. We knew that [the pictures] had been taken, which must have bothered him enough that an hour after they were taken he called and said, 'I don't think I can do this with you.'" Seacrest later says, "I don't think it was a Teri Hatcher issue. It's a Ryan Seacrest issue."
Feuding with Paula
The Tonight Show's Jay Leno playfully asks Seacrest whether Paula Abdul drinks alcohol during American Idol, and he replies: "I don't look in their cups to see what's sitting before them on that table. But at times I feel like we have reeled her in." Ten days later, Abdul tells Leno that Seacrest was "plenty mad" about his photo being minimized on a recent Rolling Stone cover (right). When Leno asks Abdul whether Seacrest and Teri Hatcher are still dating, Abdul tells him: "[Seacrest] only kisses the mirror. And honestly, do you think Teri Hatcher is that desperate of a housewife?" The feud eventually blows over.
