Ryan-iffany alert: She's performing on On-Air With Ryan Seacrest Thursday, Jan. 22. The weather is quite lovely here in LA, so I'm sure the shred-wear will be out in full force.



This thread was renamed by Yes I Am A.
ColdGreg
Can Seacrest not get real guests on his show or is he just trying to be nice? I mean does Porn Starr even have a record deal of any kind or is she still just fishing?
scoobyld
I spoke entirely way too soon. She was on the On-Air website earlier today, and I just looked again, and she's already off the list of celebrity guests. Damn, that was fast.

THEY HAVE A LIFE!: VH1 has rounded up a full house of D, F, G and H-listers for the third season of The Surreal Life, debuting Sept. 6. According to Variety, the cast includes Charo, Dave Coulier (Full House), Public Enemy's Flava Flav, New Kid on the Block Jordan Knight, Brigitte Nielsen (Red Sonja) and American Idol reject Ryan Starr.
ColdGreg
I'm laughing so hard, I think I ripped something. Porn Starr liiiiiives!
jennifuh
Couldn't they at least have gotten Craggle? It would have been perfect: short temper, crazy hair, checkered past. He'd be this season's Vanilla Ice!

So would that make Porn Starr this season's Traci Bingham or Trashelle?
lynettefl
I can't wait to watch her on THE SURREAL LIFE.
jennifuh
From what I've been hearing, she's a bit of a prude. More like this season's Tammy Faye, I guess. Without the fashion sense.
lynettefl
Yeah, two years ago she stated that she was a virgin. It was not for religious reasons, though.
triggerhappyjack
I thought it was for religious reasons. Isn't she a born-again Christian?
lynettefl
When she was on Howard Stern, she did not mention Christianity. She was just being coy probably.
belladionne
Ryaniffany did us proud on SL, ya'll. She even mentions American Idol in the second episode! It's gonna be great.
katymo
I liked how she was telling all the house mates she was a singer and they were like "Oh. Who do you sing with?" Her response? "No one." Heeeee, famewhore.
Shack
Folks, you should probably talk about Ryan's appearances and behavior on The Surreal Life on that thread in the candid reality show section so that other viewers can comment and we don't have the same conversations going on in two different places.

Ryan's "career" and other non-Surreal Life discussions are, of course, welcome here.
ColdGreg
Not sure if this is a Surreal Life comment or a Ryan on AI comment, so I'm just killing it.
Make It So
Ryan's "career"

Hee. Funny.
CessCJ
Does Ryan Starr have a career? I haven't heard anything about her since AI1 until the SL3 show. Honestly I thought she finally gave up one trying... Maybe I am wrong? I never saw anything speical about Tiffany AKA Ryan. In my opinion she can't carry a tune and she has no class!
Tulse
OK, I'm shallow, but Ryan looks quite hot in the Sexiest Women of Reality TV calendar. (Click on the thumbnail of the cover to get a bigger image, then click to get the back cover with all the women's photos.) In my opinion, she's the hottest of the bunch (sorry KimberME).
jennifuh
Ew. Longest. Torso. EVER.
kitschcakes
Longest.Torso.Ever is right.

Ryan looks good. She's really pretty. Prettier than I remembered. KimberMe looks better than she did on the show-- save for the ultra-cheesy WT hair she's got going on...
gyc
She still looks like a man.
katymo
That is one creepy looking picture. Yipes.
Mteacups
I can't tell who is in the lower left-hand corner, but it looks like she is either deformed, or her head was photochopped onto the body.
Make It So
I wonder if Pauler offered Ryan the camera secrets she used for "Promise of A New Day".

Talk about long in the tooth. Literally.
aiwop
Umm..ewww to the entire calendar.
happycamper
Her single "My Religion" is on iTunes, if any of you are interested in her "singing".
ColdGreg
Heh. I just listened to the 30 second clip. She's a man, baby! And that's all I have to say.
Tulse
I'll take that single (at least the snippet I heard) anyday over the MOR dreck that all the other Idols have pumped out. At least it has some kind of edge, however faux it may be.
Buffeeluvr
I actually liked Ryan's new single. It's hard to describe, but it sounds kind of like a mix of The Bangle's 80's grrl rock and mid-90's soft rock.

Either way, its definitely original when compared to some of the dreck that has been released by Idols. Plus, I actually find myself playing it on repeat, despite my better judgement.
bel326
My sincere apologies if this subject was discussed during Ryan's season on AI, but I wasn't here then.

Does Ryan have implants? And is that a silly question? I just can't see how you can be so thin and have such big boobs. I don't know why I care, I just wonder if this is something she's ever mentioned in an interview.
Sallins
Never wondered about Ryan's boobs until now, I don't know. Ryan doesen't seem like the type to get fake boobs.

After watching the "Surreal Life" last night, I really enjoyed the single, I thought the was she was complaining in was New kids on the block pop crap, but it was more of a rock edge to it. Happy ryan sang it, she should have been top 5 on AI 1 in my book.

Flavor Flav is right. Ryan should sing more R&B songs.
Buffeeluvr
Yeah, I too doubt that Ryan has implants. I mean, she is quite well-endowed in the chest area, but I just cant really find any real reason for her to get implants. I mean, before American Idol, which was both her first audition and her first foray into the limelight, she was described, by herself and others, as a "tomboy" and a "dork," both of which she confirmed during her stint on AI. Just doesn't seem like the type who would be unhappy with her body to get implants, is all.

Plus, her Aunt posts on the message boards of her official site, and I'm almost positive that she addressed this issue and responded in the negative.
bel326
Thanks Sallins and Buffeeluvr, just an offhand curiousity of mine.

I also didn't think she quite seemed like the type, but it just seemed physiologically impossible to be that skinny with such huge boobs. And since she lives in CA, I just thought maybe she'd been part of the superficial LA scene or something.

Thanks for clearing that up, more free space in my brain to wonder about other inane nonsense...
ColdGreg

Ryan has a lot of seemingly impossible features. I mean who has a torso that long? Seriously.

Ryan was on Howard Stern yesterday morning. She kept mentioning AI, but I started listening in the middle of the interview, so I had no clue who it was at first. I don't even know what Ryan looks like, but aaaanyway, Howard and co. wanted to hear her song but she said her publicist forgot to send a copy and she didn't have one on her.

Ryan also mentioned how she's been told over and over to make a pop album, and once she's on the radio and popular, she can make a rock album like she wants. Ryan said she refuses to do it this way.

Other than that, she gave away some secrets about the show that of course no one sees due to editing. Naturally (being on Stern's show), her sexuality was also questioned, but she didn't answer much.

Anything interesting?
dannymoon
Well I'm never seen 'Surreal Life', so I didn't even really know what Ryan was talking about...but she did mention some episode where she had to perform and everyone was looking for her, but she said that never really happened. She was ready to go, and when they supposedly called her, that wasn't even her voice. Or something. Sorry I'm not being clear since I don't know the show. I'm sure a Howard Stern website could give you more details if you want them.

Ryan had one of my all-time favorite AI downfalls. This was at a time when Justin and Christina could cut the vocal cheese every week and the judges desperately avoided criticizing them. So when Ryan had the pimp slot and butchered "You Really Got Me", I thought they would let her by. Instead, Randy and Simon savaged her. Her response was CLASSIC - she told Simon he couldn't get her music because, to paraphrase "Simon, you're not a rocker, you're a popper!" I loved that moment. The delusions run wild. Right up there with Leah's final 12 performance and KimberME letting all that raccoon makeup flow down her face the first time she was in the bottom 2.

And she was in the bottom 2 the next night. Then the next week she was in the bottom 2 with Justin and for the first and last time, I rooted for Ryan to stay in the competition.

Since she's such a "rocker", has she said anthing about Bo or Connie?

She seemed devastated when Jim was eliminated. Are they still close?
Jacob
Yes I Am A renamed the thread ("Formerly known as Tiffany Montgomery"; hence the quotes).
Tulse
Holy crap! I was casually browsing at the video store this evening, and was gobsmacked to run across this gem.

Ryan Starr and Adrienne Barbeau, in a horror/thriller/boyband/Survivor movie. Wow. Just.......wow.

No, I didn't rent it. Will anyone own up to actually seeing this?
suurenkai
I rented it -- and felt totally embarrassed bringing it to the counter. Eyes were averted. But I couldn't even watch the whole damn thing. I fell asleep 30 minutes in because it was just so FUCKING boring. And I could barely understand a word she so monotonously said anyway. SPEAK UP! DICTION, girl!

It wasn't even campy fun, it just was... ZZzz....
RockOn
When they mentioned Ryan Star on Rock Star, I thought it might be this Ryan. It seemed an odd coincidence that the guy on Rock Star would have such a similar name. His name is spelled with one r. He lost too. Guess the name is not lucky.
cabinfever
Remember though, Ryan Starr was not her given name. She changed her name (from Tiffany something) when she started on Idol.

In late 2004, Ryan purchased a house on the Santa Monica coastline with an estimated value of $3.4 million.


If the above is true, she is doing really well for herself with her swimsuit line. In addition, she sold over 340,000 songs in Itunes with 'My religion.' Not too bad.

She might be a financial success afterall.

It seems that Ryan has been doing more modeling than singing lately. She is now modeling for Hot Topic. Kind of random actually....

Wasn't she supposed to be getting her own show or something? And have an album out by now too?

She's very pretty, but that still photo of her is just awful.

She was never that good of a singer and her pickiness about what style of music she would do probably killed the album prospects. But reading Dust253's post from awhile back, it seems that she's still rather successful, especially considering that she was working at the Gap (? I think) before AI.

In this article about karaoke's revival after American Idol, Ryan gets a mention. I shouldn't laugh, but I did.
Tucker also credits “Idol” with turning karaoke into more of a spectator sport than it was before. “For people who don’t sing but like to watch, the show’s given them a reason to have a drink and stick around for a few hours,” he says. And thanks in large part to a certain Mr. Cowell, they’re a lot more discriminating than they were pre-“Idol.” “The most negative effect is people in the crowd being more Simon than Paula,” says Duarte. “Singers are more nervous of people in the crowd being more critical because sometimes they are.”

First-season also-ran, Ryan Starr found that out the hard way in a surreal life-imitates-“Idol” when she took the stage at Daniels’ club in Hollywood. “She got booed,” says Daniels cringing at the memory. “I tried to squelch it but they still booed her. It was rough.”
Bo Davis
Ryan, can you please do jazz? Pretty please with a cherry on top? I loved your voice on AI, but sadly it's not the type of voice that fits your musical preference at all. If you do a jazz album with that deep, smokey voice of yours I'd be all over it like a depraved hooker on a stash of cocaine.

That is all.

Fox Reality has a new show starting next week called Gimme My Reality Show where "celebrities" compete for their own reality show.

Ryaniffany's a contestant.

Gustavo
It is amazing to me that Ryan refused any and every offer to do Pop music because it was fake, contrived and she'd be selling out. She even threw a truly unnecessary hissy fit on The Surreal Life when forced to sing Pop, but she continues to bounce from reality show to reality show. She actually can sing Pop and sounded great on the song for The Surreal Life. I guess she is as stupid as she is pretty.
