The perky and cute Kellie Pickler has been chosen to team up with Ryan Seacrest on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve this December 31st.  Ryan Seacrest amazes me with how much he is involved in.  He is a super busy guy and while I like Kellie Pickler and think she’s a lot of fun, I’m surprised that Ryan Seacrest would choose her to co-host Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.

This New Year’s Eve Ryan will be hanging out with Kellie Pickler on Times Square as millions of fans watch from home and the extremely large crowd that gathers at the event live in New York.
