Fox has just sent over a press release indicating that American Idol host Ryan Seacrest has renewed his contract for two additional years.

This news is sure to make any fan of Breaking Bad disappointed. Late last night The Los Angeles Times revealed that ongoing talks between AMC (the cable channel) and Sony (the producer) for a fifth season are not going well.
