Posted on by


Ryan Seacrest has opened a new broadcast centre at a children’s hospital.

The ‘American Idol’ host’s charity, The Ryan Seacrest Foundation, launched The Voice at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia today and he was accompanied by Selena Gomez as he cut the red ribbon.

He told E!: “I’m excited to bring The Voice to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is a leading paediatric clinical and research facility and a national leader in developing techniques to support the patient’s emotional well-being. The Voice closed-circuit broadcast centre is a new addition to their existing Child Life programmes and provides creative, interactive entertainment.”

The Voice – an interactive, closed-circuit broadcast multimedia centre housed in the hospital – will allow patients to engage in lots of activities relating to radio, TV and new media, including broadcasting, acting as a DJ and watching live artists perform.

The Ryan Seacrest Foundation is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for seriously ill and injured children through unique programs that utilise multimedia and interactive platforms to enlighten, entertain and educate.

The ‘Edge Of Glory’ hitmaker – who is currently in Singapore as part of her ‘Monster’s Ball’ tour – will join permanent judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy on the panel of the Fox dance competition.

Show boss Nigel – also at the helm of ‘American Idol’ said: “Lady Gaga will give great advice on how to handle yourself, how to be creative with what you do, and how to be a fabulous performer.

“Her help is going to be invaluable.”

This isn’t the first time the 25-year-old singer has appeared on a US reality show.

In May, Lady Gaga acted as a guest mentor on ‘American Idol’ and instructed the four finalists – including eventual winner Scotty McCreery – on how to prepare for the live shows, telling the hopefuls to embrace their “sexy” sides and give the judges “a little drama”.

She said at the time: “I just want to give them senses of inspiration and confidence. And to help them bring out what’s really special about them.”
