Ryan Seacrest will take over Dick Clark's role at Time Square, but I don't really think it's an attempt to further homosexuality. Though it's my understanding that Seacrest is gay, he does a heckuva good job with American Idol and people like him. But given the way the networks bombard the culture with gay role models, ya gotta wonder:
In a rare concession to mortality, Dick Clark will be joined this New Year's Eve by his tousle-haired successor, American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, to watch the ball drop on Times Square. The eternally taut Clark, seventy-six, sat out last year's festivities after a minor stroke (Regis Philbin flew up from the Caribbean to cover). Seacrest will share host and executive-producer duties, and will eventually take over the thirty-four-year-old event.
