times square new years eve 2010

New Year's Rockin' Eve special with Dick Clark? An American tradition continues with the Times Square ball drop at midnight right in the heart of New York City and Clark will be there for his hosting duties, with a little bit of help from the hardest working guy in the business, Ryan Seacrest.
It will be cold, but J Lo may help warm the celebration to ring in the New Year of 2010. American Idol host and Dick Clark 2.0 Ryan Seacrest has convinced Jennifer Lopez to perform live from Times Square on the New Year's Rockin' Eve special he will be hosting alongside Clark.



Seacrest talked to the singer's manager at the AMAs about the deal, but J.Lo still wasn't completely convinced.

Seacrest explains: "It started there [at the AMAs], and then, no kidding, Marc [Anthony] and Jennifer came over to my house and literally walked through what it would be like in Times Square, and now we've got a stage built [in that spot in my house]." "That's exactly what happened. It's a small house!" Seacrest joked.

On TV: Dick Clark's New Year’s Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2010 begins with a one-hour prime-time special at 10 p.m. (9 p.m. CT), and returns at 10:30 p.m. to prep for the ball to drop at midnight.
