'American Idol' Host Ryan Seacrest Prepping His Own Singing Show

New NBC show will reportedly be more 'artist competitive' than 'contestant competitive.'

For nearly a decade, Ryan Seacrest has been the steady, reliable face of "American Idol." He's weathered the storm of judge changes, questionable champions and a nonstop barrage of abuse from former lead panelist Simon Cowell.

During that time, Seacrest's media empire has blossomed to include not just multiple radio and TV hosting gigs, but producer credits on a slew of reality shows, like "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and its offshoots, that have minted their own stars. Now, Seacrest is reportedly embarking on his highest-profile TV move to date.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Seacrest is in early talks with NBC to helm a music-themed prime-time reality show. But unlike "Idol" or tormentor Cowell's upcoming "X Factor" (or new competition, NBC's "The Voice"), the new Ryan Seacrest Productions joint is reportedly not a traditional music competition show.

At press time, it was not clear if Seacrest would act as host of the new show, and because the plan is so early in its stages, the exact concept of the program is still being fleshed out. The Reporter said the only thing that's known is that Seacrest's new show would not directly compete with "Idol," which pays him $15 million a year and continues to be TV's undisputed ratings champ.

As for when this unnamed show might debut, the trade magazine pointed out that Seacrest's contract with "Idol" parent company CKX — which expires at the end of next season — doesn't allow him to appear on any other broadcast network until 2012.

The New York Post, which broke the story on Monday, quoted NBC's head of alternative programming as saying that the Seacrest concept is a "totally different kind of competition show" that would unfold in "self-contained episodes." He said it was "a bit more fun" and rather than being "contestant competitive," it is more "artist competitive."

In an interview with the Reporter in late March, Seacrest stressed, "It doesn't make a lot of sense to host a show competing with 'Idol.' ... I think it's possible [to be the face of another show in the future], but at this point I certainly have not even gone down that road because 'Idol' is in a great place, so I think we're just enjoying that and we want to focus on that."

In addition to his multiple shows starring the Kardashian sisters and ABC's "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution," the new music-themed NBC show would be one of 20 programs RSP has in development at the moment, many of them with NBCUniversal.

TV on the Radio's Gerard Smith Dies at 36

Gerard Smith, who played keyboards and bass for the celebrated prog-rock band TV on the Radio, died yesterday from lung cancer. He was 36.

Smith joined the Brooklyn band around 2004 and played on 2006's Return to Cookie Mountain and 2008's Dear Science, two of the most challenging and rewarding recent records in all of indie rock. He also appeared on this month's Nine Types of Light, receiving his cancer diagnosis shortly after the quintet wrapped recording.

"We are very sad to announce the death of our beloved friend and bandmate, Gerard Smith, following a courageous fight against lung cancer," TVOTR wrote on their website. "Gerard passed away the morning of April 20th, 2011. We will miss him terribly."

Spin music editor Charles Aaron remembered Smith as "a classy, thoughtful guy and he always seemed kind of bemused by the rock 'n' roll thing." Though he didn't write any of the band's songs, Smith "was very serious about TV on the Radio," Aaron said, "and was adamant about not letting people define them as 'black rock' or concede that 'blackness' was the essential quality of the band." The reason for that perception was that Smith was one of four black members of TVOTR, with Dave Sitek the group's sole white player.

Because of his illness, Smith did not go on tour with the rest of the group to promote Nine Types of Light, and because of the sudden news about his passing the band canceled five shows, including last night's scheduled gig in Chicago.
