[HMG] – In between hosting a radio show that has made him every D-list celebrity’s favorite agony aunt, Ryan Seacrest finds time to host American Idol. And he’s now being praised for saving one contestant, Crystal Bowersox from blowing her chance at the prize.

It seems Crystal was close to quitting about two weeks ago, and was in the process of leaving when Ryan stepped in and made the wannabe star change her mind.

Crystal told Ryan she couldn’t handle the pressure, hated all the attention and was going back to Ohio to be with her family, as being away from home for so long was making her miserable.

For his part, the smooth-talking host then explained that being on ‘Idol’ was like starting a business, and that if she was successful she get a recording contract and wind up really rich.

“The greatest thing I ever did was make enough money to buy my mom a house. You can buy your mom a house,”  he told the sad-faced chanteuse.

And that changed her mind…or so TMZ claims.
