In case somehow you missed the announcement, Ryan Seacrest has officially decided to take over the world. Or at least the prime time Emmys, which he's now going to host. Don't worry, though. Both he and Fox have the good sense not to force him into an opening monologue:
"I don't feel like I need to do a song and dance and 15 minutes of jokes," he said. "The way I'm looking at the whole show, it's about elevating everyone on their night, as opposed to making it my night ... I'm not going to pretend to be something I'm not. I plan to honor the class and the heritage of the Emmy."
(That said, Popwatch makes a good argument for what kind of class and heritage the night really needs.)
Emmy Sunday will be a hectic one for the always-busy Seacrest. As the anchor of "E! News Daily," Seacrest will also take part in the cabler's pre-Emmy coverage -- although the channel is still ironing out how much it will be able to use him before Seacrest has to duck out to prep for the hosting gig.
He does, however, totally need to update his official site, which still has his big news listed as "Paris Hilton talks to Ryan from jail." Honey, world domination is gonna be a little rough if you don't at least hire a webmaster.
