Ryan Seacrest edit
Millanna, I had to restore this article back to before you edited it because, although some of your changes looked okay, too many of your edits introduced copyright violations into the article. We cannot simply copy or closely paraphrase sources as you did in many places.
Also, there are a few guidelines you should pay attention to when editing:
WP:OVERLINK. Usually, the first time you mention something you can wikilink it, but each subsequent time you should not. You wikilinked every instance of American Idol.
WP:ITALICS. Titles of TV programs should not have quotation marks, but italics.
WP:REF, in particular the section WP:CITEFOOT. References go outside of punctuation marks.
WP:LEAD. You made the lead way too long, and normally you should need no or very few citations in a lead as the material you're highlighting should already be in the body and cited.
