Seacrest Goes Barefoot, Shows Off Pedicure

0:00It's March 31st. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Entertainment and celebrity news today. Your AI-powered entertainment report. Ryan Seacrest kicked off his shoes on the March 30th episode of American Idol, going barefoot on stage with contestant Kindle Inskeep, who performed without hers too. The 51-year-old host later explained he did it to flaunt his fresh pedicure, saying he wanted to feel grounded for the first time hosting that. Way, he told Entertainment tonight the PD set him back 42 bucks, and he timed it perfectly since it was still fresh. Seacrest even joked about the risk of his toes ending up on wiki feet, that site where fans rate celebrity feet, but he was all in on showing them off. Fans grab his comments and spun them into all kinds of chatter online, turning a simple barefoot moment into buzz. It fits his vibe of keeping things light, especially after he quipped on a recent Wheel of Fortune episode about jumping on Tinder since he was the lone single guy up there. That love is in the air theme had newlyweds in a long-married couple sharing the stage, leaving Seacrest feeling extra solo with a baby on the way in.

1:06The mix. He played it up for laughs, staying true to his quick-witted style. All this barefoot energy shows Seacrest owning the fun side of fame, PD and all, keeping us tuned in for whatever quirky move comes next.
