RYAN Seacrest was almost shark bait. The "American Idol" host was swimming in the Pacific Ocean in front of LG Villa Cabo in Mexico on Sunday when a sand shark swam by and chomped his toe. "He didn't know what it was for a minute - he thought it was a stick," said one spy. "He had no time to be scared. He saw it swim away, he got out, took aspirin and called it a day."

Ryan Seacrest attack by shark at LA California Beach
So much for a relaxing trip to the beach.

On his KIIS-FM radio show Monday, Ryan Seacrest said he decided to take a dip in the ocean over the weekend when, he said, "I was bit by a shark!"

He said he was "about eight feet out" when he felt something swim by him.

"I thought it was a stick," he said. "I wasn't sure what had happened."

Then, he said, "I saw it swim! He took a bite, and he left."

Seacrest, 33, said the shark's tooth "wasn't a great thing to find. It was like finding a splinter!"

Although he said he was "in pain," the American Idol co-host wasn't hurt too badly, as he still went on the air to blab about it. ("I need to take an Advil!" he yelped.)

But he's bitter.

Asked by his radio co-host if anyone else got bit, Seacrest lamented: "No, just me, of course! There were like 1,000 people in the ocean, and I get bit by the shark!"
