Yup, Ryan Seacrest - host of some singing show on Fox - will actually have work to do this summer. He's gonna executive produce a show on mothers and their cherished boys entitled "Are You a Moma's Boy?" Should premiere right after the Olympics, on NBC.
Only question you want answered by this point: Will he host?
Not sure. Not sure. Will get back to you on that.
With this show, Ry's doing what any hugely wealthy young guy who really REALLY wants to be The Next Dick Clark would do - start up a production company, litter the landscape with shows, hope one of 'em sticks, and then make his first billion (and get on the cover of Fortune, which will devote 2,000 words to "The Genius of Ryan Seacrest.") He's also said to be in discussion with CNN about the "Larry King Live" slot - I kinda believe this although CNN has said it's bogus. Meanwhile, his ramped-up production company is also producing that immensely silly Denise Richards' reality skein, "DR: It's Complicated." That bows on (I beleive) E! around Mem Day.
What do we know about "Moma's?" (Until five minutes ago, blessedly nothing...ba dum...)
Here's Ry's own voice on the show: "Anytime I make a decision either personally or professionally, I have to ask myself...what would my mother say? Like it or not, I am a true Momma's Boy. She is the most important woman in my life and she is never short of opinions. This series throws Mom right in the middle of all the drama. It's loud, it's wild and it's real."
