In this clip, Ryan teaches us all about the strongest muscle in our bodies: the heart, referring to it as "the Arnold Schwarzenegger of your body."

Jennifer Lopez and Ryan Seacrest Gear Up For Idol and Talk Fashion

Molly Goodson — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 10:33:01 PST

Jennifer Lopez joined Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson, Ryan Seacrest, and their producers for yesterday's American Idol panel at the Television Critics Association Fox press day. When Jennifer was asked what dress she was wearing, Ryan was quick to interject saying the right question is, "Who are you wearing?" though she still couldn't remember the answer. Earlier in the morning, the Fox executive panel addressed the stories about Ryan leaving the show, but he was there with a smile on his face alongside the three judges. Ryan also spoke to the rumors, saying he can't imagine leaving Idol. Ryan is fresh off a St. Barts vacation with bikini-clad girlfriend Julianne Hough and has a perfect tan to kick off award season red carpets this week.

Jennifer, Steven, and Randy weren't afraid to throw a few punches at the other singing reality competition shows out there, especially The Voice. The Fox president in charge of American Idol even called out The Voice for having Kelly Clarkson on as a coach this season, saying, "It's a compliment to Idol because we have created the superstar. We're not hiring a lot of people from The Voice to be on our show." Check out the 10 best quotes from American Idol's TCA panel on Buzz.

Julianne Hough was in a bikini once again yesterday, playing at the beach in St. Barts with her boyfriend, Ryan Seacrest, and a few of their friends. The gang ventured into the water, and it seems Ryan couldn't get enough of his girlfriend in her two-piece - Ryan took some pictures of his own! It seemed like they were having a grand old time, walking the beach hand in hand with drinks. Julianne and Ryan have been hanging out with their pals for the past few days. Their good times included a few meet-ups with Rachel Zoe and Rodger Berman, as well as their little Skyler Berman.

Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest had a fun afternoon in the St. Barts sun on Tuesday. She joined shirtless Ryan Seacrest for a round of jet-skiing, which ended when he fell off into the water. Next, Julianne wore a bikini for a workout on a stationary bike. The couple continued their relaxing Caribbean day with a walk on the beach, where they ran into pals Rachel Zoe and Rodger Berman. Julianne, Ryan, Rachel, and Rodger moved their party to a nearby house for picture taking and champagne.

Ryan's relaxing getaway comes ahead of a busy time of year. He has award season duties on top of his regular radio show and producing gigs, but he may not be returning to his American Idol spot. Ryan's American Idol contract is up, and after 11 seasons with the series, he could be replaced as host. We may still see him on the small screen, though, since there are rumors that he might join the cast of Today.
