According to their Twitter pages, our faves Ryan Seacrest and Lindsay Lohan may be collaborating on a new TV show! Ryan says that the show will help out people who are down on their luck and allow them to compete for a $1 million dollar prize! Everything’s still very much on the DL, but we hear that Lindsay plans to serve on a panel of judges and hopes that she’ll be able to help people in the same way that Extreme Home Makeover does. How sweet is that?

Besides his excellent hosting gig on American Idol, Ryan is no stranger to working behind the camera–he’s a producer on both Keeping Up with the Kardashians and It’s Complicated with Denise Richards. That man’s got some skills. For the latest news on Lindsay’s new movie Labor Pains, InstantCast has got you covered!
