Meet Misty Shaffer. The wife of an American military member, she surprised husband Larry after the couple had spent a year apart, greeting him with a smile and a new look: Molly shed 100 pounds during the couple’s very long time apart, keeping her weight loss plan a secret and doing it by simply replacing junk food with vegetables and cutting down on her portions. “I’ve been happy with the way she’s looked since day one,” Larry told a local NBC affiliate, though he admitted that Misty’s svelte body was the “icing on the cake” to his return home.

Filming is underway for the new season of The Bachelorette, starring Andi Dorfman, and the men are going to have to go all out to win her heart. If they want to make love to her at some point … they’re gonna have to SING “I’ll Make Love to You” by Boyz II Men, WITH the classic R&B group! Oh, The Bachelorette spoilers alert. Sorry. Andi Dorfman and her suitors were out in Santa Barbara yesterday for their third group date of the young season, which just began filming in California. They arrived at an outdoor Boyz II Men show, and took over the stage in a moment that wasn’t staged at all for the reality show. Okay, yes it was. (The Bachelorette spoiler alert again … we gotta work on that!) Two groups battled it out in a sing-off, wearing khaki blazers and blue cardigans, respectively, crooning “I’ll Make Love to You” in hopes that maybe, one day … You get the idea.

The Nikki Ferrell of old would never have put up with the kind of stuff Juan Pablo is subjecting her to now, according to her ex-boyfriend Ryan McDill. The 26-year-old pediatric nurse has stood happily by her man, despite The Bachelor’s refusal to propose or even say he loves her in a public setting. Critics have questioned the relationship of Juan Pablo Galavis and Nikki Ferrell , as many also feel he’s just a jerk. No one is more surprised than Ryan. “Knowing her like I do, I’m surprised Nikki acted like everything was fine during After the Final Rose,” her ex-boyfriend says in the new issue of Us . McDill dated the would-be reality star for a year until last July. That post-finale special was when Nikki Ferrell told host Chris Harrison that Galavis has not said he loves her. He didn’t seem in a hurry too then, either. “She normally wouldn’t take that s–t from a guy,” McDill adds. “The Nikki I know would have slapped him and walked out.” I Like You a Lot: The Bachelor Season Finale Pics Open Slideshow 1.

Clare Crawley and Andi Dorfman basically did just that, earning praise from The Bachelor fans who had become tired of Juan Pablo’s antics this winter. They didn’t slap him physically, but they dressed him down with their words in compelling fashion, leaving many to wonder … how can Nikki take this? Friends of Juan Pablo say he tends to cast a spell on the women he’s with. Says one source close to him, “Girls who date Juan do what he wants.” Even sticking by him while he’s already cheating on her ? We’ll see. For that reason, the version of Nikki Ferrell that Ryan McDill dated pre-Bachelor could clearly be a very different person than the one ABC viewers know.

Andi Dorfman didn’t take crap from Juan Pablo Galavis on The Bachelor (the same can’t be said for Nikki Ferrell, according to the winner’s ex). Whatever you think of Nikki, Andi infamously dropped Juan Pablo like a bad habit and will soon take her no-nonsense approach to The Bachelorette . ABC released the first photo of her in the starring role today: “I am incredibly excited to be The Bachelorette … never did I think this would happen to me!” Dorfman, a 26-year-old Assistant D.A. from Atlanta, said. “I am looking forward to traveling the world and going on amazing dates with amazing men. And hopefully, one of them ends up being the love of my life.” Already a fan favorite for being funny, successful, strong and stunningly beautiful, Andi Dorfman took it to a new level on the penultimate Bachelor episode. After Juan Pablo made inappropriate comments during their “nightmare” overnight date, Andi gave him the third degree like she’d cross examine a witness. While the cameras rolled, Dorfman told off El Bachelor in epic fashion. Clare Crawley only wishes she could go back and do the same thing. After The Bachelor breakup to end all breakups, Andi peaced, but eesss okay, she’ll get her chance to hand out roses and Nikki wants to be with him somehow.
