And if so, is it a male or a female?  Rumor has it that the ambiguously straight host of American Idol is secretly dating former “Dancing With the Stars” star/country singer Julianne Hough.  For years he has jokingly called her “Mrs. Seacrest” on his radio show, but this pairing may actually be happening.  Simon Cowell’s ex-girlfriend, who is an entertainment reporter, cracked the story when Simon accidentally let it slip that Ryan was on a date with Julianne this past Monday.  Is this for real?  I honestly don’t know or care whether Ryan likes women, but they would be kind of cute together if it’s true.
