Is ABC eyeing a possible return engagement (pun intended) for Emily Maynard on The Bachelorette? Maybe the third time’s the charm for the Southern Belle … According to reports, producers want her to come back next season, just days after she confirmed her breakup with Jef Holm , her final rose recipient this year. Who knows if this is legit or whether she’d have any interest, but that’s the rumor. “Emily’s ratings were huge and the producers know she is incredibly popular so they are talking with her about coming back for another try ,” a source teases. “ABC loves Emily, there are tons of Emily fans and the producers think it’d be an amazing twist that would really get people watching, even if it is haters.” “Even though she has been burned twice, they know it will be ratings gold and they know that she really likes being on TV and actually has fun on the show.” Emily Maynard got engaged to Brad Womack on The Bachelor , but that relationship fizzled fast; things with Jef fell apart almost as quickly and she is single once again. One of the men she rejected this summer, Sean Lowe , will dole out the roses as The Bachelor in January. Will Emily follow with her second Bachelorette stint in May? What do you think: Should Emily be The Bachelorette again? Yes! That’d be a great twist! Love Emily! NO way! Get someone else PLEASE! View Poll »
Recovering comedian Artie Lange said he would give anything to get his job back on the Howard Stern Show. He has not, however, asked Howard about it. Lange left the show in early 2010 after a sudden hospitalization. He later went to rehab to get his alcoholism under control, but is reportedly better now. Stern discussed Artie this morning, saying Lange’s comments “stirred up a whole bunch of conversation that I don’t even know how to begin to address.” Asked if Artie ever personally approached Howard to ask for his job back, Howard replied, “No, but I think he would if he could get a hold of me.” As for Artie’s possible return to radio with a new show , Howard said, “Of course I support it. I think it would be great. I’d like to listen to Artie.” Howard, whose show Lange was a fixture on for years, added, “I’m glad to hear he’s feeling better … I’m pulling for him. I hope he does okay.”
