New $45 Million Man Ryan Seacrest Slithers to CAA

I don't pretend to know the politics or trajectory of Ryan Seacrest's relationship with his longtime agents at William Morris or their new partners from Endeavor. But to openly exclude them from his lucrative American Idol contract negotiations, pay zero commission and then jump to CAA (also no commission) to give the Death Star locks on himself, Simon Cowell and Simon Fuller -- thus putting AI's nuts firmly, even more permanently in CAA's loving grip? Well, that's just not very nice at all. But cheer up, Ari! Aretha Franklin just signed on! [THR]

Kate Bosworth goes to the Dogs, DreamWorks finds money, and more Hollywood Ink after the jump.
