Ryan here, just in time for some big #iHeart announcements. First things FIRST, I am not the real Mr. Seacrest, purely used for RPG/parody.

Tributes for Matthew Perry outside the Friends apartment in New York. He was so loved.

Many people don't know what sacrifices Suzanne Somers made for equal pay.

By 1980, she had already won a People's Choice Award for "favorite female performer," and was nominated for a Golden Globe for her work on Three's Company.

But her male counterparts made more money – a LOT more.

When it came time for fifth-season negotiations, she asked for a pay hike from $30,000 an episode to $150,000.

That was identical to what John Ritter was receiving, and comparable to salaries that MASH's Alan Alda and All in the Family's Carroll O'Connor were being paid on shows with much lower ratings.

Instead, ABC offered her just a $5,000 increase.

"It was like, I'm selling more tickets than any of them. And shouldn’t it be about how many tickets you sell and how many viewers you have?"

She protested. And was fired.

"I couldn't get a job. And I still don’t know what they told the cast, but everyone turned against me."

She eventually built back her career as a product spokesperson, before landing a big new sitcom in the 90s, Step By Step.

But she still had no relationship with her former costar John Ritter – until one memorable day.

"I hadn’t talked to John in 20 or 30 years, and then one day, I got a call, and he said, 'Hey babe, I forgive you.'

I thought, 'You forgive me?' I'm the one who was fired and lost my job.

But then I decided to put on my big girl pants. So I said, 'Thank you.' And that was a hard thank you because I realized he didn't even know what had really happened.

He told me he was doing a show called 8 Simple Rules, and he pitched an idea to me where his character has a nightmare, and Joyce and I were in it.

After all these years, I told him I didn’t want to come back as his nightmare. So we agreed to work on something else together down the line.

Then he died one week later."

Suzanne Somers has died of breast cancer, at the age of 76.

@WendyOnTV I'm going to need for people to stop speaking over the experience of @KEYTelevision staffers just because they are not wealthy celebrities. These people's livelihoods and careers have been affected as well.

[Ryan Seacrest @iRyanSeacrest]

As an executive producer of #TheGuardians, I stand with @JurisLtd and @KEYTelevision in this course of action. Those who have thrived in anonymity will soon get their day in court.

Justice will be swift. And until then, I will see you folks over on the airwaves

Dear valued viewers,

We took a recent break from programming to address and rectify a serious matter. False rumors that have been circulated recently have compelled us to take swift legal action. The well-being of our production crew, staff, and talent is paramount.

[Ryan Seacrest @iRyanSeacrest]

@AndyTalksLive That's all the details I am privy to at this point.

[Ryan Seacrest @iRyanSeacrest]

My insiders have informed me that there is a surprise mega release on the way immediately. That's all the details I am privy to at this point.

[Ryan Seacrest @iRyanSeacrest]

As mentioned at @iNeonCity's showcase last weekend, all Zone Nation groups have coined the term "K-groups" in lieu of male & female groups.
Her biggest goal for 2024 is debuting K-groups that include black trainees. My insiders have informed me this is a very immediate thing.

#ZoneNation's CEO Revealed To Be Daughter Of Quincy Jones & Former #GloryEntertainment Producer #MishaRae https://t.co/RsVxWw8US4

[Ryan Seacrest @iRyanSeacrest]

#MishaRae also becomes the 4th black woman labelhead and 1st Korean woman simultaneously. @ZoneNationHQ has also become the 1st label run by a Board of Directors instead of a sole CEO or CEO team.

[Ryan Seacrest @iRyanSeacrest]

Misha Rae has just been revealed as the Director (not CEO as Key is reporting) of @ZoneNationHQ. She joins a long-list of female bosses past & present including @iKiaraKnowles, @EarthtoBarbie, #MerylStreep, @plzcallmegoldie, @itsvivianne.

The cool thing about #NewMusicFriday this week is that there's 10 & 15+ year veterans returning after being out of the industry for so long.

Especially love the rollout gimmick of a veteran artist cosplaying as a new one. Can you tell which one or should I keep my mouth shut?

[Ryan Seacrest @iRyanSeacrest]

And now is as good a time as ever to announce that I will be taking over as host for #TheGuardiansSeason2 over on @KEYTelevision this fall.

As season 1's finale draws closer, @WendyOnTV & myself have heard your thoughts and feedback and there will be MANY changes. Stay tuned.

Finally, Pop has been the lowest consumed genre this summer with just 2 songs, "VOGUE" by @iCarmenMusic + "Dear J" by @MrScottyKnight.

The upcoming @SodaPopRec's #THISISPOP, will be huge for pop artists. However, it won't be released until Sept.
