Ben Flajnik as The Bachelor: First Pic!

Ben Flajnik is ready to come into his own as The Bachelor. The runner-up for Ashley Hebert’s heart on The Bachelorette was devastated by her season finale rejection, but credits her for allowing him to grow emotionally. Now, the tables have turned and the 28-year-old Napa vineyard owner is ready to dole out the roses … and the wine, obviously. We sense a theme with ABC’s first promotional photo for the new season, beginning in January … ABC’s press release for the new season (premiering January 2) describes Ben Flajnik as “a rare, modern Renaissance man.” What makes him such a rarity? “Ben dabbles in a lot of hobbies and crafts, such as crab fishing, sailing, golf, skate boarding, surfing, playing piano and singing in a tribute band.” “He is also quite handy with a hammer and saw, and loves fixing and building things, as well as landscaping. The woman who will share his life will also have to share one of his other great loves: his Jack Russell Terrier, Scotch.” Get ready to swoon away, ladies. Swoon away. Ben F.: Good choice for The Bachelor?

Expert on Dr. Conrad Murray Medical Decisions: Oye …

A leading cardiologist for the California Medical Board told a jury today that Dr. Conrad Murray was grossly negligent in his treatment of Michael Jackson. Dr. Alon Steinberg testified that Murray, who’s facing involuntary manslaughter charges in the June 2009 death of the pop icon, demonstrated an “extreme deviation” from standard practices in the medical care he provided. That, more than anything else, could lead to Murray’s conviction. The Michael Jackson autopsy photo displayed in court Tuesday and Murray’s recording of the delirious star are chilling, but don’t necessarily prove his guilt. Steinberg’s testimony is a different ballgame. We’re not on the jury, but it’s hard to imagine they won’t be influenced by some of this expert’s views. He reviewed Murray’s case relying solely on transcripts from his police interview because he wanted “to judge Dr. Murray on his very own words.” Dr. Steinberg made it clear that he is a cardiologist, not an anesthesiologist. That said, these are a few of his observations of Murray’s medical care: Murray did not take notes, typically standard for insurance and legal reasons, but most importantly for the patient … this caused confusion in the ER. Murray lacked basic medical equipment in case of an emergency; In addition, Murray didn’t have an assistant on hand in case of an emergency. There were six separate, distinct deviations of standard of medical care. Each example of Murray’s deviations amounts to “gross negligence.” Propofol is used for procedures in a hospital, never as a sleep aid. Murray’s biggest mistake was not making the 911 call immediately .

Bethenny Frankel Sort of Refutes Sea Rescue Farce Accusation

Last month, Bethenny Frankel claims she and her husband were stuck at sea and needed a desperate rescue to save them from a harrowing experience. Earlier this week, meanwhile, the man who actually did the rescuing (Tim Russell) said it was all a farce , Bethenny’s sailboat was never in trouble and she simply needed material for her reality show. So, what does Frankel have to say in response to this allegation? She has taken to Twitter and written: “Let’s review last week’s idiocies 1)I have a”nice”coach 2) I’m getting divorced 3)I’m pregnant 4)I lied re:being lost at sea Anything else?” That’s not exactly a definitive a denial, especially when matched against Russell’s assertion that Coast Guard records prove it refused to initiate a search party for Frankel’s vessel because it was working just fine. Do you believe Frankel faked her rescue at sea?

Prince Harry to the Pool Party Rescue!

Prince Harry sure knows how to make splash in the U.S. Having arrived in California for military training, the Prince of Wales proved himself quite the hero on a night off, coming to the rescue in a poolside bar incident. Harry and his Army buddies were watching an England rugby match on TV at the rooftop pool of San Diego’s Andaz Hotel, when someone got the bright idea to toss another bar-goer, Lindsay Swagerty, into the water – fully clothed . ” Prince Harry was the first to notice me when I got out and he wrapped his towel around me to keep me warm,” Swagerty, 23, said after her unexpected plunge. “It was such a gentlemanly thing to do.” The young professional not only kept Harry’s towel as a souvenir, but the next night she and her friends met up with him and his friends for beer and shots. Says Swagerty: “He is probably the most charming man I’ll ever meet.” He is single, from what we’ve heard … sorry, Chelsy Davy . Which begs the question: Who should Prince Harry marry?
