				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/Pitbull" target="_blank">Pitbull</a> </strong>and his swag stopped by <em><strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/category/on-air/" target="_blank">On Air with Ryan Seacrest</a></strong></em> to chat about his upcoming movie <a href="http://www.epicthemovie.com" target="_blank"><strong><em>Epic</em></strong></a>,<strong><em> </em></strong>as well as his thoughts on everything from his work ethic to marriage.</p>
<p>The rapper, who was raised listening to motivational tapes, shared: &#8221;My mom actually raised me off of <strong>Anthony Robbins</strong>. I would sit in the car going to fifth grade&#8230;[and] I went to go touch the radio and she had the motivational tapes in there and she said, &#8216;Do you pay for this car?&#8217; I said, &#8216;No&#8217;. She said, &#8216;Don&#8217;t touch my radio.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2013/05/17/beyonce-admits-she-got-emotional-voicing-queen-tara-in-epic/" target="_blank">Beyonce Admits She Got Emotional Voicing Queen Tara in &#8216;Epic&#8217;</a></strong></p>
<p>And it was those messages that formed the foundation for his success today. &#8221;I don&#8217;t believe in failure,&#8221; says Pitbull. &#8220;I just believe in epic learn[ing] &#8230; it taught you there&#8217;s no success without failure and there&#8217;s no winning without losing.&#8221;</p>
<p>When Pitbull came in to the studio, we couldn&#8217;t help but notice how good he smelled. Naturally, he says his next venture is fragrance. &#8220;It&#8217;s my new cologne. Look out for something I&#8217;m working on now, I can&#8217;t say the name yet cause it&#8217;s not properly trademarked, but as soon as it is, just look for it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2013/05/19/billboard-music-awards-red-carpet-fashion-gallery/" target="_blank">Billboard Music Awards: Red Carpet Fashion Gallery and Performances</a></strong></p>
<p>But music still is a main part of Pit&#8217;s life and he&#8217;s once again climbing the charts with his latest hit song, &#8220;<strong>Live It Up</strong>&#8221; with <strong>Jennifer Lopez.</strong> &#8221;You know what&#8217;s funny, I picked this record two years ago in Paris with [producer] Red One. I was in there with him &#8230; he actually played me a bunch of hits that come off <strong>Nicki Minaj</strong>&#8216;s record &#8230; I heard them before she jumped on and I heard this one and he&#8217;s like, &#8216;My brother, I&#8217;m thinking of giving it to Jennifer Lopez&#8217;&#8230;and I said, &#8216;Well if J.Lo doesnt take it, just know, I&#8217;m gonna take it!&#8217; And then sure enough we ended up doing it together.&#8221;</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ox0wjCAmlyM" height="506" width="900" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>Working with Jennifer was quite the learning experience. Pit revealed that he &#8220;learns a lot from her every time I get the chance, I just watch how she moves. How diligent she is, militant at times, but very professional and a hard worker.&#8221;</p>
<p>And for his upcoming animated flick <em><strong>Epic</strong></em>, he got to work with other huge names in Hollywood.</p>
<p>&#8220;When I got involved with <em>Epic</em> I didn&#8217;t know who was involved with it, so it&#8217;s a true honor to be in the same movie as a voice with <strong>Steven Tyler</strong>, <strong>Beyoncé Knowles</strong>, <strong>Colin Farrell</strong> and when I got involved I didn&#8217;t know anybody &#8230; all they showed me was a frog and I said, &#8216;I&#8217;m game. I&#8217;ll be a frog. It&#8217;s good to be a frog in a forest; get a kiss, become a prince, you know how that works&#8230;but [his character] Bufo was great then I came back and they had a suit on him and they used my facial gestures and my hands &#8230;When I saw my voice on the frog, I felt like a little kid again. So now I&#8217;m the big joke around my kids, the &#8216;pooper of parties,&#8217; they&#8217;re always like, &#8216;Papi&#8217;s a frog!&#8217;&#8221;</p>

<p>And after talking all business, we had to ask, what above love for the rapper? &#8221;I&#8217;m in love with the hustle. I&#8217;m in love with the journey,&#8221; Pitbull joked.&#8221;The only real thing in my life are the real people in my life so I&#8217;m very protective of them.&#8221;</p>
<p>He also admitted there won&#8217;t be a Mrs. Worldwide any time soon. &#8221;I&#8217;m happily unmarried. I&#8217;m not a big believer of a piece of paper telling me that me and you love each other &#8230;A good friend told me, &#8216;I don&#8217;t get married, so I don&#8217;t get divorced.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>For more from Pitbull, like how he stays under the radar and going on tour with <strong>Ke$ha</strong>, listen to the full interview above!</p>
<p>And catch Pitbull as Bufo in <em><strong>Epic</strong></em> when it hits theaters this Friday.</p>
<p><strong>While we had Pitbull in the studio, we had him fill out a Q&amp;A about his new film, <em>Epic</em>:</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yoga isn&#8217;t just for your body anymore.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a new trend that is a favorite amongst people who want to tighten up their face &#8212; like<a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/jennifer-aniston/" target="_blank"> <strong>Jennifer Aniston</strong></a> and <strong>G<a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/gwyneth-paltrow/" target="_blank">wyneth Paltrow</a></strong> &#8212; but without having to go under the knife &#8230; it&#8217;s called face yoga.</p>
<p><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2013/05/20/gabby-douglas-says-meeting-beyonce-was-incredible/" target="_blank"><strong>Gabby Douglas: Meeting Beyoncé Was ‘Incredible’</strong></a></p>
<p>Followers of the practice certainly look a little funny pulling off the 18 different &#8220;poses,&#8221; but they claim it really does help. How? The moves theoretically tighten the facial muscles and even encourages the production of collagen, which helps keep skin looking youthful.</p>
<p>The U.K.&#8217;s biggest face yoga &#8220;super trainer,&#8221; Julia Anastasiou, advises that 20 minutes, six days a week is all it takes to knock off five years from your face.</p>

<p>Amongst the moves: Owl, where you make two &#8220;C&#8221; shapes with your fingers around your eyes and then open the eyes wide and relax the forehead three times for 10 seconds each, and Puffer Fish, which involves puffing out your cheeks and gently tapping on them for 30 seconds.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Max George from The Wanted phoned in from Tokyo to On Air with Ryan Seacrest to talk about everything from their upcoming E! reality show and his dirty room to bandmate Nathan Sykes' recovery post-vocal cord surgery.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/max-george/" target="_blank"><strong>Max George</strong></a> from <a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/the-wanted/" target="_blank"><em><strong>The Wanted</strong></em> </a>phoned in from Tokyo to <em><strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/category/on-air/" target="_blank">On Air with Ryan Seacrest</a></strong></em> to talk about everything from their upcoming E! reality show and his dirty room to bandmate <strong>Nathan Sykes&#8217;</strong> recovery post-vocal cord surgery.</p>
<p>As for his dirty room, Max joked: &#8220;I thought it was alright to be honest.&#8221; He adds that living in Los Angeles while filming their show <a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/the-wanted-life" target="_blank"><strong><em>The Wanted Life </em></strong></a>was, &#8220;a little bit different than being in Manchester in England.&#8221;</p>
<p><iframe src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F93056078" height="166" width="100%" frameborder="no" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>
<p>Still, he says, &#8220;I could definitely get used to it. First of all, it was nice to wake up every morning and see the whole of the city &#8230; that was just insane. But it was the little things to me that meant the most, like having your own bar, your own swimming pool, and the run of Los Angeles. I felt like a king.&#8221;</p>
<p>And in true Wanted manner, the boys not only trashed their kitchen and jacuzzi, but also had things like underwear hanging from the chandeliers.</p>
<p>So who&#8217;s underwear was that?!</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not sure,&#8221; Max laughs. &#8220;I think we&#8217;ll have to watch [the show]. I think we&#8217;ll find out a lot of mysteries when we see it.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2013/05/20/justin-bieber-and-selena-gomez-kiss-backstage-video/" target="_blank"><strong>Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Kiss Backstage: Video</strong></a></p>
<p>Aside from learning who&#8217;s underwear it is, Max adds people will learn more about him and the band personally.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think I&#8217;m probably going to learn a few things about myself I didnt know. I think one thing [people will learn], is definitely the bond I have with my brother &#8230; and the bond I have with my mom &#8230; I&#8217;m very, very close with them two.&#8221;</p>
<p>And Max is just as close with his bandmates. &#8220;As a group, I think people will realize when we say we get on like brothers we actually do. I think a lot of the time, bands have to say that or if they didn&#8217;t people will think surely it doesn&#8217;t work. But we geniuely do really get on and we don&#8217;t just work together, we actually do everything else away from work most of the time with each other, as well. [And] we actually do party as much as we say we do.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2013/05/19/icymi-rob-and-kristen-split-beyonce-denies-pregnancy-report/" target="_blank"><strong>ICYMI: Rob and Kristen Split, Beyonce Denies Pregnancy Report</strong></a></p>
<p>As for how Nathan is doing after his vocal cord surgery last month, Max revealed: &#8221;He&#8217;s okay. His voice hasn&#8217;t come back properly yet, but they said that could take months and I spoke to him the other day by email and he said the operation was successful, but it could take a long time, but we all have our fingers crossed for him.&#8221;</p>
<p>And although Nathan may be out, the boys haven&#8217;t stopped performing. &#8220;That&#8217;s a little bit weird because he has a huge voice and he&#8217;s such a presence.&#8221; However, Max jokes, &#8220;It&#8217;s so much more relaxed and we are on time for everything &#8230; it&#8217;s really weird.&#8221;</p>
<p>Catch the premiere of <strong><em>The Wanted Life</em></strong> <strong>June 2</strong> on <strong>10/9c</strong> on <strong>E!.</strong></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/justin-bieber" target="_blank">Justin Bieber</a></strong> wowed fans with his performance at the Billboard Music Awards last night and amidst his tabloid troubles former teen sensation <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/nick-carter" target="_blank">Nick Carter</a></strong> is offering the 19-year-old some advice.</p>
<p><iframe width="100%" height="166" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F93052329"></iframe></p>
<p>The <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/backstreet-boys" target="_blank">Backstreet Boys</a></strong> member, who&#8217;s had his fair share of the spotlight at Bieber&#8217;s age, revealed to <em><strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/category/on-air/" target="_blank">On Air with Ryan Seacrest</a></strong></em>: &#8220;I&#8217;ve been in that position before and you know what? Sommetimes you&#8217;ll make a mistake and sometimes you&#8217;ll come out on the other end. That&#8217;s just kind of like the luck of the draw. Stay healthy and just treat people good, you know what I mean?&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Melissa Peterman</strong>, host of ABC&#8217;s new show<strong> <em>Bet On Your Baby</em></strong>, is quite the prankster.</p>
<p>When asked what her favorite moment has been working with kids on the new competition show, which revolves around parents betting on their child&#8217;s next move, the host revealed it was prank-calling <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/george-clooney" target="_blank">George Clooney</a></strong>!</p>
<p>Melissa joked to <em><strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/category/on-air/" target="_blank">On Air with Ryan Seacrest</a> </strong></em>that<strong></strong><em><strong> </strong></em>she had a toddler do her dirty work. &#8220;I told him to say, &#8216;Hey Clooney, Melissa was the best thing you ever had. You should have never let her go.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
<p>So does that mean that Melissa and George exes? &#8220;Of course I don&#8217;t have his phone number and we&#8217;ve never dated,&#8221; she adds, &#8220;but there&#8217;s still time!&#8221;</p>
<p>Catch <em>Bet on Your Baby</em> on ABC  on Saturdays at 8/7c.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[After 12 years of judging on the hit competition show, the head dawg has decided to leave the show.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/randy-jackson" target="_blank">Randy Jackson</a></strong> made his final bow on <em><strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/american-idol" target="_blank">American Idol</a></strong></em> last night.</p>
<p>After 12 years of judging on the hit competition show, the head dawg has decided to leave the show.</p>
<p><iframe src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F92642127" height="166" width="100%" frameborder="no" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>
<p>Randy revealed to his good friend Ryan on <em><strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/category/on-air/" target="_blank">On Air with Ryan Seacrest</a></strong></em> that his decision to leave now was simply because: &#8220;It was just time, honestly. You reach that point where you go, &#8216;Ok, so what do I want to do next?&#8217; You know 12 seasons honestly, Ryan, we&#8217;ve done it &#8230; [it's time to] get on a different roller coaster.&#8221;</p>
<p>So does Randy know what that next roller coaster will be? No. But he doesn&#8217;t have second thoughts about leaving <em>Idol</em>.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/2013/05/17/behind-the-scenes-of-the-season-12-american-idol-finale/" target="_blank">Behind the Scenes of the Season 12 <em>American Idol</em> Finale<br />
</a></strong><br />
&#8220;I&#8217;m kind of one of those weird ones. When I&#8217;m ready, I&#8217;m ready. But it takes me a while to really get there.&#8221;</p>
<p>As for the video tribute that played on the finale, Randy joked, &#8221;What is so startling for me is to see from Season 1 and 2, just the dramatic weight loss. How I went from this huge guy to the supermodel I am. It&#8217;s freaking crazy. I was like, &#8216;Yo dawg, you are like a third of yourself&#8217; and Ryan and <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/simon-cowell" target="_blank">Simon [Cowell]</a></strong> inspired me to do that.&#8221;</p>
<p>Since Randy has sat at the judges table for 12 seasons, he&#8217;s seen all the changes over the years, but what are his feelings about this season&#8217;s panel? &#8220;This wasn&#8217;t the best in terms of chemistry panel, but no listen, for real &#8230; when I look at the talent on the stage and who won and what happened up there, I&#8217;m just like whatever people say about the judges – good, bad, indifferent – you look at the talent and I&#8217;m proud of us.&#8221;</p>

<p>The 22-year-old singer admitted to <em><strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/category/on-air/" target="_blank">On Air with Ryan Seacrest</a> </strong></em>moments after exiting the stage last night: &#8220;The feeling right now is bittersweet because it&#8217;s over so that&#8217;s the bitter part, but the sweet is me and Candice can both go and start our careers and that&#8217;s an amazing feeling because the whole reason I wanted to &#8230; have longevity and I get to go do that now, I hope.&#8221;</p>

<p>So what was going through her mind during her final <em>Idol</em> moments? &#8220;Everyone kept saying you&#8217;re so both too calm for this.&#8221;</p>

But Kree explains it was due to a lack of nerves. &#8220;Honestly, we already feel like we made it. This whole experience has been much more than we could have ever imagined and we&#8217;re so proud of each other and everybody and we get to go on tour now.&#8221;</p>
<p>The experience also left Kree sharing her personal life &#8212; the tragic loss of both of her parents at a young age &#8212; with millions of TV viewers.</p>
<p>Did she ever regret telling her story? &#8220;I think there was times where it become hard for me to talk about it because it is a story, but I feel like everybody has a story that will break your heart and at the end of the day it&#8217;s not my whole story. It&#8217;s just a part of me. I thought it was important to share because this is also me as an artist and a person.&#8221;</p>

<p>As for that nickname that judge <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/nicki-minaj" target="_blank">Nicki Minaj</a></strong> gave her, Kreedom. &#8220;[Even] my family calls me that now!&#8221;</p>
