“American Idol” held its second annual “Idol Gives Back” Sunday night, (to air this Wednesday) a charity themed competition to raise money for underprivileged children. In addition to hosting the event, Ryan Seacrest also donated his entire paycheck to the cause.
“When he and Simon went to Africa last year and saw the children, it was really life-altering for him,” says the source. “He just knew he had to do his part and be willing to put his money where his mouth is.”
You know, that’s great. That’s just really great. I always assumed FOX paid Ryan in leftover sandwiches and Simon Cowell’s chest hair trimmings, but they give him an actual paycheck. That’s very generous of them! Oh, and you know, the charity thing … That’s good too.
