Brit Bachelor Guy: Don't Look for Love on Reality TV!


Mon., Mar. 30, 2009 2:55 PM PDT of E!Online writes:

A former Bachelor star has a warning for potential contestants looking for love on the long-running ABC dating show.

Matt Grant, the leading man on season 12 of The Bachelor, says the show's potential for making a successful match is pretty low.
"There's always the possibility [of finding true love on the show], but I think the chances are slim," Grant told us this weekend at the 23rd Genesis Awards in Beverly Hills. "It's hard enough finding a good girlfriend in reality, let alone the nonreality of reality TV."

As for America's most hated Bachelor Jason Mesnick...

Grant actually praised the single father for "having the balls to admit that he screwed up."
But that's not the path Grant would have taken.

"Even if they offered me half a million dollars, I would have to say no way," Grant said, when asked if he would ever take the Mesnick route. "I think he kind of committed reality suicide."
At the end of his reign, Grant became engaged to Shayne Lamas (daughter of actor Lorenzo Lamas), but the two called it quits after just two months.

It's safe to say Grant isn't crying over lost Bachelor love. He's currently dating his publicist, Sarah Robarts.
*********My Thoughts?***********

This is funny but not really surprising considering the source. I remember this season all too well. Matt Grant is the bachelor who chose the most superficial, materialistic, spoiled, dingy ass contestant possible and now he is whining it was the show's fault why it didn't work out. OMG, whatever. I mean some people just don't get it. Guys like Grant get on the Bachelor thinking they are getting 25 great girls all created equal and they just have to pick and choose which suits them best. And some guys make terrible decisions as Grant did. They go for the young, pretty, and giggly and then expect them to also be ready for a committed relationship that will last forever. Hindsight is 20/20 but it wasn't hard for me and many other viewers to see the writing on the wall with these two.

Sorry Matt, don't blame the show because you picked a dud, maybe its your poor choice in women that is the problem. Try going for what's in their heads and not on their chests next time!

E!Online Reveals Top 9 Best (Untrue) Rumors About Jennifer Aniston


6:50 AM PDT of E!Online writes:

You see Jennifer Aniston's lovelorn, childless eyes at checkout stands every single week. It's been three years and 175 days since she and Brad Pitt divorced, yet the Aniston Industrial Gossip Complex keeps pumping out rumor after rumor about Jen's love life.

So who slapped a ring on her finger this time? What creature is kicking in her belly? And which secret organization has she joined? We count down the strangest, least-reliable gossip ever printed about Jennifer Aniston—and there's plenty to choose from.

Here's our top 9, with No. 10 left open for you to decide:

1. Jennifer Aniston Is Engaged!
To Vince! To John! To anyone! Which moderately talented bloated boy will Jen almost-maybe-not-quite rush to alter with next? Batter up, Joaquin.

2. Jen Has a Chest Full of Lies! Everybody wins when there's
a fake-boob story. Jen get the attention she craves. We get to indulge in some investigative ogling (in the name of Truth!). And gossip rags get to splash boob shots of Jen everywhere! And every now and then we are treated to a very special, elusive side-boob shot. Side boobs for everyone!

3. Jen Gets Angie Arrested! Finally,
it looked like Team Jen had scored against the home-wrecking harlot Angelina Jolie! Did the cops cuff Jolie for nabbing Brad? Or for her role in that criminally bad Beowulf? Sadly, neither. Angie was just on the set of her newest flick, Salt. Don't worry Jen, Angie will eventually get her comeuppance for that awful wig!

4. Jen Puts Her Eggs on Ice! Tick-tock, tick-tock! If Vince or John won't take advantage of Jen's fertile crescent, then she's willing to
take matters into her own hands! Come to think of it, when did it fall out of fashion for celebs to freeze body-parts? Isn't Nixon's head on ice somewhere? OMG, you guys: FROST-NIXON. HA!

5. Jen Will Be the Next Bond Girl! Given all of her
bare body magazine covers, there's a Pussy Galore joke here somewhere. But let's maintain some level of dignity. Speaking of dignity, everyone knows that being a Bond Girl is a springboard into a career plated with Oscar gold! Maybe this will be Jen's big chance to go from presenter to nominee!

6. Jen Dumps John Mayer Over His Obsessive Twitterin'!
Reports—dubious, foreign, hilarious reports—say that Jen was furious that John had no time for her, but all the time in the world to announce up to the minute mind-numbing details of his life. A poem in memoriam: When John began to Twit / Jen declared she quit / John was sad and Jen's is mad / That her name still doesn't end in Pitt.

7. The Jennifer ConAniston Feud! What happens when Serious Actress Jennifer Connolly and Fading Sitcom Star Jennifer Aniston are thrown into a totally awful rom-com (He's Just Not That Into You)? Nothing short of bitter hatred! Jen Aniston will toss any pillowy-mouthed actress down the stairs if she's forced to share her flicker spotlight! Will nothing quench Aniston's bloodlust? You're next, Winslet.

8. Jen Is a Member of the Illuminati! The Queen, the Vatican, the Gettys, the Rothschilds and the entire cast of Friends are members of a secret society who control the military, the newspapers and the banks. They meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as the Meadows.

9. People Care About Jennifer Aniston's Four-Year-Old Divorce! Any Aniston news that's labeled as "breaking" is a lie.
Being famous you pay a price and unfortunately bogus rumors is one of them. Even though the paparazzi do cross the line, (i.e. Princess Diana) I always think how ridculous when I see a famous person whining about no privacy. I mean, like it or not there are pros and cons to every profession and hey, if you put yourself out there to be famous you are going to get the good and the bad. However filthy rumors I don't think should be part of the deal, making up crap about anybody is never cool and so high school. Good job E!Online!

Valerie Bertinelli's Bikini Body...WOW

When Valerie Bertinelli started her weight loss journey with Jenny Craig two years ago, I watched with optimism and speculation. She followed in the footsteps of Kirstie Alley who did lose some weight, but was nowhere near where she was at 20. Jenny Craig has since fired Kirstie Alley as their spokeperson for not keeping her weight off.

So when Valerie Bertinelli appeared on Jenny Craig commercials, I have to admit yes I was a little skeptical she would surpass even Kirstie Alley's weight loss who at the time was holding her weight but no longer losing.

Obviously, I am so excited at Valerie's success and she couldn't look better. Jenny Craig definitely got what they paid for. Eddie Van Halen eat your heart out!

Cindy Crawford Naked And Lathered Up In Allure (NSFW PHOTO)

I read this article this morning on the Huffington Post website. My initial reaction was one of shock that Cindy Crawford would subject herself to posing practically nude in a magazine. Of course, looking at her I also think why not? I mean at 43, she looks awesome.

I am definitely a fan of Cindy Crawford, especially since side by side she helped me lose those baby pounds after the birth of my third child. Working out post baby was so hard for me. Your newborn is so dependent on you for everything, sleep may be suffering, and you feel groggy and sluggish and well, fat. It sucks. But as you know getting back in shape is a crucial step to feeling better not only physically but mentally as well. After all, I firmly believe happy mommies make better mommies. So, after trying several workout videos, I found Cindy Crawford's New Dimension workout to be perfect for me. It fit all my needs from the full body workout in only 45 minutes to the challenge and endurance. In fact, I ended up memorizing the entire workout and doing it to my own music.

So with that I am not surprised at all to see this ad of Cindy Crawford half naked at 43 looking great. You go girl!

Just had a baby? Start your workout routine with Cindy Crawford's New Dimension workout DVD. Good luck!

Reese Witherspoon - The actress on heartbreak, hard work, and her latest movie

Joanna Douglas of Shine Staff writes:

Reese Witherspoon is the blonde who has shattered stereotypes with roles as a wary prude in “Cruel Intentions, a high school over-achiever in “Election,” a sorority girl at Harvard Law in “Legally Blonde” and a poor child turned ruthless society woman in “Vanity Fair.” Her turn as June Carter Cash in “Walk the Line” earned her a Golden Globe, SAG and Academy Award for best actress. But that doesn’t mean Reese doesn’t have her flaws and weaknesses like everyone else. When it comes to her painful divorce from Ryan Phillippe, accusations of being a control freak or seeing her own face on the cover of tabloids, Witherspoon confesses to ELLE how painful and lonely life can be on the other side of the camera.

On her divorce: “Very humiliating and very isolating…But, by the way, if it’s not painful, maybe it wasn’t the right decision to marry to begin with. Those are the appropriate emotions. When people get in your face and say, ‘This will pass,’ you think, Are they crazy? I’m never gonna feel any better than I feel right this minute and nothing’s ever gonna make sense again. And I still have moments where I’m like, Nothings ever gonna make sense again.” 


On dealing with the split: “You see a lot of people play this blame game. Blame, blame, blame. You know? And it’s a really easy thing to do, and I’m certainly guilty of it. [You have to] look at yourself and go, ‘What part of this do I need to own? Which part of this is my responsibility? And that’s the painful work that you have to go through to hopefully get some real life knowledge out of it.”

On being a young mother: “When I first had Ava, I couldn’t afford [help]. And it was so hard. I was out in Los Angeles, living [away from my family]. I really didn’t have any friends. And I had a baby. No one else who was 22 had a baby. I couldn’t go out.” 
 


On her reported Type A personality: “I don’t think I’m a control freak. I think I’m just fearful. I operate from a lot of fear, like, of things being lost or forgotten or neglected. Losing the spiritual rather than the physical. It’s so funny to me that somehow I’ve been portrayed as a very, like, closed-off or uptight person. I’m very open.” 
 


On the paparazzi: “Fascination is gonna die off. I honestly know it. But it’s just like I keep waiting and waiting, and then it’s just more tabloid magazines, and it keeps going. I don’t take a shower everyday. I don’t put on makeup everyday. I wear a lot of sunglasses, in case you noticed.”But it’s not all work and no play for Ms. Witherspoon!

On her boyfriend, Jake Gyllenhaal: “He’s fabulous. He really is a fantastic guy."

On not being diet obsessed: “I’m made of cookies after the holidays. Everything inside me is made of sugar and flour and a little red wine–a lot of red wine.”

For the full story, go to ELLE.com

Reece Witherspoon is beautiful in all aspects. Besides beauty, she has class, style, and ambition to boot. She is intelligent and someone I truly look up to. Seeing Reece in the media, it's hard to tell she has been through anything as she always carries herself with grace and poise. After reading this article I am reminded that noone is exempt from heartache, disappointment, or life's ups and downs. And It is not how many times we fall down, it is how many times we pull ourselves together and keep moving on that counts. Here's to you Reece!

The Break-Up Part 2: Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer Split Again

Joyce Eng of TV Guide writes:

Looks like John Mayer did get the memo. Or maybe it was Jennifer Aniston who got it. In any case, Mayer and Aniston — who earlier this week asked "Who ever said that every relationship has to last forever?" — have called it quits, People reports.The news comes two weeks after the couple PDA-ed up a storm at the Oscars — but also after some transatlantic work commitments that may have been the deal-breaker. Aniston had been promoting Marley & Me in Europe, while Mayer worked on his new album in L.A. When Aniston returned, the Grammy winner broke up with her, a source said."They had some disagreements and decided to not continue to see each other," said another source. "Jen is moving on with her life like she always does. She seems happy."This is the second time in a year the duo has split. In August, after a whirlwind four-month romance, Mayer told reporters he and the actress were just Friends again. "I ended a relationship to be alone because I don't want to waste somebody's time if something's not right," he said.The two were on-again by October after reuniting for several dinner dates.



Poor Jennifer, so much for giving it a try. She is so much better off without him. Any guy that breaks up with someone and then feels the need to trash you all over the tabloids in fear of looking like a jerk, which results in him looking even more like a jerk is nothing but an egotistical immature dbag. Move on Jenn...leave this guy wallowing in his own smut.

Do you think they will get back together? I hope not. Take my poll:

Celebrity Poll: Anna Nicole Smith-Did Howard Stern Help Murder Anna Nicole Smith?

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Anna Nicole Smith's longtime partner and attorney, Howard K. Stern, and a doctor were jailed Thursday on charges of conspiring to furnish drugs before her death in 2007, authorities said.

Anna Nicole Smith's boyfriend Howard K. Stern was among those charged Thursday.

Stern and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor were arrested and later released from a Los Angeles County jail Thursday night after each posted a $20,000 bond, a police spokesman said.


Dr. Khristine Eroshevich also faces charges and is expected to turn herself in Monday, authorities said.


The doctors and Stern devised a plan to use a fake name so that Smith could be prescribed "thousands of pills," California Attorney General Jerry Brown said.

"She was obviously addicted," Brown said. "These doctors had a medical obligation to prescribe medicine in a professional way. Evidence will show this did not happen."

Smith, 39, was pronounced dead February 8 after being found unconscious in her hotel room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino near Hollywood, Florida.

The former Playboy playmate and reality TV star died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. At the time of her death, several prescription medications -- both in Smith's and Stern's names -- were found in the room.

Officials said prescription and over-the-counter drugs were found in Smith's system, including three antidepressants or anti-anxiety drugs. Also found in toxicology testing was human growth hormone and chloral hydrate, a sleep medication, officials said.

Stern, 40, Kapoor, 40, and Eroshevich, 61, were each charged with eight felonies, including conspiring to furnish controlled substances, unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance and obtaining fraudulent prescriptions from June 2004 to January 2007 -- only weeks before the playmate's death.

Kapoor and Eroshevich were each also charged with obtaining a prescription for opiates by "fraud, deceit or misrepresentation." Each was also charged with one count of obtaining a prescription for opiates by giving a false name or address, according to the
Los Angeles District Attorney's Office.

Smith was buried in the Bahamas on March 2 next to the grave of her son, Daniel, who died in September, days after the birth of her daughter, Dannielynn.



Ok I'm not ashamed to admit it, well maybe just a little bit, I was a fan of Anna Nicole Smith's E! show and watched every season. It is based on this expertise I guess you could call it that I don't feel Howard Stern was forcing Anna Nicole Smith to do anything she didn't want to. I firmly believe Howard was simply an employee doing as he was told or else.

Watching the Anna Nicole Show, it was painfuly obvious Anna was an addict no bones about it. And for themost part she ran the show, and often degraded her assistants regularly. I do feel very strongly however, the doctors prescribing the pills should for once be held largely responsible. How can a doctor prescribe thousands of pills month after month, year after year and not know his patient is addicted? Wouldn't at some point a doctor try and wean their patients instead of enabling their addiction? The answer is simple M-O-N-E-Y and lots of it. In any prescription overdose death you can bet there is a doctor behind every story getting rich. It really makes you sick when you think about it. These doctors are basically the equivalent of a drug pusher you would find on the streets. I say hang em and be done with it. Be a part of the solution not the problem.

Did Howard Stern murder Anna Nicole Smith? Take my poll!

Bachelor Poll: Should Brett Michaels be giving The Bachelor Jason Mesnick advice?


Maria Gonzalez, BuddyTV Staff ColumnistSource of TV Guide writes:

Rock of Love: Bret Michaels Gives Advice to 'The Bachelor'
Thursday, March 05, 2009

The
Rock of Love Bus celebrity has gotten word of what Jason Mesnick did on this season of The Bachelor, and he doesn't sound happy about it. Bret Michaels faced the press to give his two cents on the matter, as well as point out what Mesnick might have done wrong. “He definitely better hide his car,” Michaels said, “because it's about to get keyed.”

Is Bret Michaels sympathizing with The Bachelor's Melissa Rycroft? Perhaps. The Rock of Love star underwent the same experience in the first season of his show, when his soulmate Jess, dumped him.

Even so, Bret Michaels believes that things happen for a reason, and that what happened was for the best. "In a sick way, I think he did Melissa a favor,” Bret Michaels declared. “It's better to know now than after ten years of a phony marriage. If someone isn't into me, I want them to tell me. I don't want to come home to find them trying to get the milkman out of the house before I get back.” Speaking from experience, Michaels continued by saying how reality shows have certain constraints that might hamper the relationships they produce. “I know it sounds brutal, but he may have run out of time,” he said.


“When the show was coming to an end, I wanted more time with Jess and Heather. I liked them both a lot. It sucked because it forced me to make a decision that night.”But enough with the excuses, what Jason Mesnick did was a breach of Bret's break-up etiquette. “[Jason] went about it wrong way. I would have done it completely privately — and my show is only about dating. She thought she was getting married!” the Poison frontman exclaimed. “I think he owes her a heart-felt apology.”It seems like many would take the side of Bret Michaels on this one.-"

C'mon are you serious? I really believe I've seen everything now. I mean I am a fan of both shows and tivo them regularly but with all due respect these two guys are from two different planets! I will admit Jason isn't america's favorite family man at the moment however, he's supposed to taking advice from a guy that creates a show to find his one and only true love (not once mind you, but THREE times) and then proceeds to wonder why it never works out. Let me see, Bret being the rock god he is proceeds to have free sex with whomever he wishes and somehow doesn't think his inablility to find true love has anything to do with the fact that most of these women are not the marrying type, IF you know what I mean. How could someone even read this article seriously considering the source. Lets take a moment to compare what we are dealing with:

Jason Mesnick goes on the Bachlorette, falls in love with Deanna who in the end breaks his heart. But its too late, American women nationwide have already fallen head over heels for Jason Mesnick, a fun, loving, gentle, supportive, successful, single dad who wore his heart on his sleeve. Inevitably as anyone watching could easily predict , Jason becomes the next bachelor and its his turn to break hearts. We anxiously tuned in every week to see the same old Jason we remembered and adored with that cute smile warm our hearts and had us on the edge of our seat to see what would happen next. Jason came across as classy for the most part and of course dependable, honest, and trustworthy. It was noted that he was almost too easily read in that viewers could tell what he was thinking though he never actually said it. Of course he simply couldn't help it being the good guy he naturally was which made us love him even more. He was critized a little for kissing too many girls, but personally I think that was ridiculous, especially based on the nature of the show it was bound to happen. In the end, as I predicted he picked the young, beautiful ex-Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader and all seemed well. His decision was obviously hard as our hearts ached for him as he wept on the balcony after watching Molly, the runner up, drive away. Then fifteenn minutes later in the After the Final Rose show, the unthinkable happened in Bachelor history. Jason discovered after 6 weeks since the show ended that his relationship with Melissa was not the same off camera and admits he could not stop thinking about Molly. Suddenly, Jason is seen by some in America as a deceptive traitor partnering with ABC for a huge publicity stunt and breaks poor Melissa's heart in the process. He is now referred as the most hated man in America. Others (including myself) think Jason is still a nice guy, albeit really confused and certainly didn't think about what he was doing very well, but hey nobody's perfect. He is human as we all are and screwed up, the only difference he did it on national TV which by some people's standards should never happen.

Ok, now on to Mr. Bret Michaels. Can I just say right off the bat that nothing about these two shows is comparable meaning they are so completely different?? Even the girls are a different "type." Bret came into the picture on his Rock of Love show hoping to find his one true love that he could relate to and someone who could love him unconditionally. The girls are certainly beautiful and beaudacious covered with tattoos, funky colored hair, and varous body piercing to boot. Truly most of these girls are what most would consider the "groupie" rock band following type or dare I say "stripper type." By "stripper type" I mean simply, these girls were doing things the first season I wouldn't do in the privacy of my own home, and frankly (sorry Bret) wouldn't want to. The show has proven to be pretty much the equivalent of having a backstage pass and enjoying as much free alcohol and drama that you can stand. The cat fights are riveting, the parties tantalizing, fake boobs as far as the eye can see, and of course everyone making out with everyone. Don't worry, Bret doesn't seem to mind at all and takes most of the girls escapades in stride and bows out graciously if things get too....well....wild. He does partake in the partying from time to time and in these episodes you are sure to witness Bret mysteriously dissappearing with two or even three girls for some "private moments" off camera. Ummmm......ok? Hey who knows, maybe Bret will find true love in this arena; definitely not a setting I would imagine when vying for your true love but maybe there is love that can be shared with two or three or four people in the same bedroom. To each his own. In fact, this week a girl left when they witnessed Bret being a bad boy and his infamous disappearing act. Apparently she heard way too much from the other side of a closed door and quickly decided to run for the hills as she was not into that. Bret did not seem to object but defended his actions saying, "I respect you and your lifestyle and I expect you to do the same and respect mine." What??!? And he wonders why he hasn't found true love, perhaps it could be the type of garbage he brings on the show? Oops, did I really just say that? None of this keeps me from watching every week however, as the jaw dropping scenarious never cease to amaze me and my sheltered world.

Now to prove my point, crazy, premiscuous Bret Michaels giving sweet, innocent Jason Mesnick advice? Bret is even going so far as to judge Jason it seems saying he would do things differently. Exactly. For Jason's sake I hope he does do things differently than Bret!

Let me know what you think....take my poll!



Bachelor Poll: Should Melissa Rycroft keep the engagement ring??

of ABC/MATT KLITSCHER; Neil Lane writes:

Melissa should not have handed that diamond engagement ring back to Jason when he broke up with her on national television.

So says Christine Gallagher, author of The Woman's Book of Revenge: Tips on Getting Even When 'Mr. Right' Turns Out to Be All Wrong.

"I think she should insist that she keep that ring," Gallagher advises. "She should cash it in and she should have some wonderful vacation and be photographed all over the place having a great time."

And what a vacation she could have, considering how much the sparkler is worth.

The one-of-a-kind, 5.12-carat diamond and platinum ring from celebrity jeweler Neil Lane features a large marquise-cut rock in the center and is encrusted with 170 smaller ones.
Reps for Neil Lane and the show did not comment, but I'm told its estimated value is about $65,000.


But does Melissa have any rights to the ring? Traditional etiquette says it belongs to her because it's Jason who broke off the engagement.

"She should demand that ring, demand the show give her the ring," Gallagher says. "She should make big deal out of it. That ring is worth a ton of money, and it could be a nice little cash prize for her. I know that would make me feel better."

Better yet, Melissa could enjoy the vacay with her new man. She taped an appearance on Ellen DeGeneres' show earlier today and revealed she's happily dating again.

"I’ve known him for two years and kind of done the dating on and off," Melissa said during their chat, which airs tomorrow. "He has been my biggest rock and supporter throughout this whole process. He’s become my best friend."

So, should Melissa try to cash in just leave it alone and move on? Let the words of advice begin.

OMG! This isn't just any engagement ring people, this is a 5.12 carat diamond and platinum Neil Lane origianl worth 65,000 big ones! This is a hard one but you have to give Melissa some credit she is either a good person with loads of integrity or really stupid. You decide...take my poll!

Bachelor Poll: Did the Bachelor Jason Mesnick do the right thing?



John Bracchitta, 03/03/2009 of Reality TV writes:

Jason Mesnick followed up ABC's Monday night broadcast of the finale of his The Bachelor season with a late night appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in which he defended his decision to choose Melissa Rycroft over Molly Malaney but later decide to dump her for a second chance with Molly.

"It was my real life, and people can question that or doubt that, but they're real feelings and I, on that last day, was falling in love with two girls," Mesnick told Kimmel of the indecision he felt before the show's Final Rose Ceremony in which he had to choose either Rycroft or Malaney. He added later that he had chosen Rycroft over Malaney initially because she had been exactly what he thought he was looking for in a wife. "Everything I was ever looking for at that time in my life was Melissa," he said. "I had this preconceived notion, and on that very last day that's exactly what I wanted."

However, Mesnick reiterated his The Bachelor: After the Final Rose special comments that problems began once he and Rycroft left the reality dating series' confines and began continuing their relationship in the real world. By the time of the special -- which was filmed six weeks after the show's finale was filmed in New Zealand last fall -- Mesnick said that he had spent enough time with Rycroft to know that she wasn't the one for him. "I was able to spend a lot of time with Melissa. We had secret rendezvous, we spent the whole Christmas time together, and what really happened is the chemistry was completely different, the relationship was completely different," Mesnick told Kimmel. "The openness and how we reacted and related to each other and the conversations that were so great on the show were completely different. How was I supposed to lead somebody on or keep it going it if really wasn't there?"

Mesnick told Kimmel he would never say anything negative about Rycroft and added that he wasn't proud of his decision to break-off their engagement and hurt her. "If I could go back and take that pain away from her... I would take it away form her because I regret hurting her," he told Kimmel As for the couple's actual breakup, Mesnick attempted to dispell the idea that he had blindsided Rycroft with his decision on the After the Final Rose special, telling Kimmel that they were already not a couple by the time she appeared on stage with him. "She knew before we walked out for that After the [Final] Rose -- before what everybody saw -- we were not together," Mesnick said. "She knew that the question was 'Are you really even gonna wear your ring because we're not together?' So I know it might seem when you see stuff that it looked like we were [still together], but she knew exactly what was going on." Mesnick also said that, while he had not enjoyed it, he had ended his relationship with Rycroft on television instead of in private because of prior agreements that he would live out his relationship in the public eye. "We could not see each other before that, so we had to have conversations over the phone and... we had the only real live conversation we could have because my relationship, good and bad, was agreed by everybody, [would] be in front of the cameras," Mesnick told Kimmel. "So I had to do it in front of everybody, and I hated that." "If I could've done it in person with her one-on-one of course that's the right thing to do. But my relationship was agreed by everybody who was involved to be in front of everybody," he added. Mesnick also maintained that he never cheated on Rycroft and added that he felt the two would become friends "at some point," eliciting some chuckles from both Kimmel and the studio audience. "You and Melissa, Israel and Iraq," Kimmel quipped. Mesnick also said that he and Malaney were still together, "very happy," and haven't discussed getting engaged. "There is no talk about that right now," Mesnick said with a smile. "We are taking it at our own pace." As for any potential backlash he may receive from fans for his decision to dump Rycroft, Mesnick said he was ready to face criticism but maintained that they would just be criticizing the way he honestly went about his own personal life. "If people can blame me for living my life, that's the way I have to face it. I mean I lived my honest true life and I developed feelings for two different girls," he said. He added that while his ending to The Bachelor had been somewhat messy, that it had just been an example of "real life," and said that he knew as well as anyone that real life was not always easy. "The engagement was one thing, but if people expect me to go through with an engagement and not be in love with somebody... I mean everybody knows in the real world that engagements do end, as hard as it has to be. I've been through a marriage and that ended. And as hurtful as that was, [that's] real life."



Ok I still like Jason, maybe I don't think he is still the "perfect" guy but that just goes to prove that truly nobody is perfect. He made a mistake, albeit a BIG one and unfortunately poor Melissa's heart was broken. I can't help but feel so sorry for her especially when throughout the show she was always saying how her heart was always being broken. Then, when she finally sees a light at the end of tunnel, gets the engagement ring, sees her whole life unfold in front of her with jason, the rug is pulled out from underneath her once again. So sad! My only comfort is that being the young and absolutely stunningly beautiful woman she is, I am sure she will find someone. I am positive the publicity from the show will keep her busy with potential suitors lined up around the block! And being with an older more mature man who has priorities other than keg parties, hopefully she will look in the right direction from now on and stay far away from the losers she had before.

My biggest dilemna is what am I going to record on Monday nights now? Take my poll below!

Jen vs. Angelina Bikini bod Poll

Ok, so yesterday I am surfing and see posts of Jennifer Aniston showing off her bikini bod. I couldn't help but think to myself, she really does look good and was curious to compare hers with Angelina Jolie's. Decide for yourself...let's take a poll!
