On last Monday's intense episode of The Bachelor , Colton Underwood walked away and seemed to quit the show. He didn't really , of course, but ABC did conclude the installment by fading to black before even airing a rose ceremony, telling fans the storyline would “be continued” this week. Those were the circumstances under which we turned in to The Bachelor yesterday, curious about Colton and where his mind is at these days. But we ended this episode with thoughts about two suitors instead, following their historic decision to truly quit the show. These choices have been teased in our ongoing The Bachelor spoilers section, but you need to scroll down to see how they actually played out… 1. We Started This Week with a Rose Ceremony Gotta make up for not showing it last week, right? Almost right off the bat, Onyeka is sent packing after her explosive fight with Nicole in Miami. 2. What About Nicole? She got the early boot, too, of course. 3. We Move to the Group Date… The women competed in martial arts prior to going to a party, at which Sydney confronted Colton about giving other women more opportunities than her. 4. Why No One-on-One Date? Colton had no answer for Sydney. It’s not like he even picks who is rewarded with these outings. “I feel like ever since someone’s like, ‘Hey, you’re The Bachelor,’ it’s a lot of pressure. Everybody expects me to have everything figured out, and I don’t. I don’t have it figured out,” Colton told Sydney during this emotional chat. “I’m not naive to the fact that there’s other people here and I know every relationship is so different.” 5. Here’s the Thing, Though “My fear is that with the choices that you’ve been making, you are taking a lot of the easier choices with the people that you are pursuing. If that’s what you’re looking for, great,” Sydney told Colton candidly. 6. More from Sydney “I’m kind of at a crossroads because I want something real and I want something magical and I want everything that you’re looking for.” View Slideshow
In recent weeks, Wendy Williams has been struggling with health issues that have prevented her from filming new episodes of her famously trashy talk show. Steve Harvey longs for a future in which you could channel surf for hours and see nothing but Steve Harvey with maybe the occasional glimpse of Kenan Thompson doing a Steve Harvey impression thrown in for variety. What do these two facts have to do with one another? Well, if a new report from Radar Online is to be believed, Wendy and Steve are embroiled in some sort of Shakespearean intrigue, and the media personality who emerges victorious will enjoy the coveted title of King or Queen of Syndicated Daytime Television. A source tells the site that producers are desperate for someone to fill in for Wendy while she’s on leave — and Steve believes he’s just the man for the job. “Wendy’s fans are very particular. They didn’t take well to Don Lemon when he stepped in. He lasted just one week,” a production insider tells the site. “It would take a very particular personality to step into Wendy’s shoes,” the insider adds. “The Fox guys see Steve as a big enough name, and word in the industry is the way he’s been treated by NBC, he feels they don’t deserve him.” That last comment refers to Harvey’s feeling that his current bosses are edging him out in favor of daytime newcomer Kelly Clarkson. NBC has apparently given coveted timeslots to Clarkson in several major markets, a fact that Harvey is clearly not thrilled with. As host of roughly 47 shows, Harvey obviously isn’t hurting for money, but those who know the host best say he has a competitive streak that cannot be contained. “Steve is all about one thing — winning,” says the insider. “He’s not going to let Kelly come out of nowhere, steal his time slot and get an easy ride.” Harvey reportedly feels a partnership with Fox will take him back to the top, and sees Williams’ show as an easy way to get his foot in the door. “If he goes back to a show run by a big network, they will pump lots of money into it — and he thinks it will get him back on top of the TV ratings,” the insider says. Unfortunately, for Harvey, Williams and Clarkson are not his only competition. Producers on Williams’ show are reportedly favoring Nick Cannon as a younger, hipper option.

Late last summer, The Bachelor alum and fan-favorite Bekah Martinez revealed that she was pregnant . About a week ago, Bekah’s due date came … and went. Then, on Saturday, Bekah gave birth to her first child! See the pics: Though we have photos of Bekah’s baby to show you, the best photos of mother and daughter are a little NSFW. Bekah gave birth in a water birth, which is … the most Bekah Martinez thing we’ve ever heard. And though she endeavored to apply a dollop of censorship over her forbidden nips, the photo is still a lot. You’ve been warned. In the pair of black-and-white photos, Bekah is still in the tub of water, and she is cradling her newborn on her chest. Notably, her daughter appears to be very camera-shy. In every single photo. Bekah gave birth over the weekend, and we’ll let her caption tell the rest. Bekah’s boyfriend and baby-daddy, Grayston Leonard, attempted to take a few color photos of their daughter. The black and white pics, snapped by photographer Lauren Guilford, were a bit more successful. “On the morning of February 2nd, our little girl joined us earth-side,” Bekah writes in the caption. “And,” she continues. “We will never be the same.” “We are all as healthy and happy as can be,” Bekah assures her fans and followers. She and her baby girl really do appear to be so peaceful despite the mutual trauma of childbirth. Maybe there’s something to this water birth thing (but I’d still prefer an epidural, wouldn’t you?). Notably, Bekah and Grayston continue to refer to their daughter without a name. Why are they being mum about their baby’s name? Because they have yet to decide upon a name for their sweet little girl. It’s easy to make fun of parents for being indecisive about this, but nine months isn’t always enough time. This is the name by which people will know them. It’s part of the first impression they’ll give. Whatever Bekah decides will be on her daughter’s job applications. It’ll be the name that her classmates turn against her to tease her. That’s a lot of responsibility. You want to make the right choice. Last week, in late January, Bekah shared a photo of her whale of a baby bump. “Today is my official due date,” Bekah wrote. “My, what a journey it has been,” she reflected. “Thank you all for the love you’ve showered upon me,” she gushed. Bekah was a fan favorite among the Bachelor Nation because she’s an absolute delight. She continued: “There is so much from these past 9 months to be grateful for.” Just days earlier, Bekah had shared another pic, this time featuring her very bare baby bump. Honestly, that pregnant belly looks huge on a woman so small. “39 weeks + 5 days,” she wrote of her pregnancy.I actually have super-human patience right now.” “I know my due date is Tuesday,” she shared. “But I am perfectly at peace with going a couple weeks more.” Fortunately, her child was born about a week after she wrote this. “I trust my baby and I trust my body,” Bekah affirmed. “He or she will come when they’re fully ready for the journey earth-side.” The join me earth-side thing is … well, we of course do not want to make fun of anyone’s spiritual beliefs. But it is an unusual phrase. Bekah will no doubt prove to be a fun and open-minded mother because that’s the sort of person she is. These days, she must be thanking her lucky stars that she jodged a bullet with Arie Luyendyk Jr. Actually, she’s been happy about that for a long time, now.

It’s been more than a year since Vanessa Grimaldi and Nick Viall split . Now, Vanessa has found love again, and this time, she looked outside of the Bachelor Fam. Get to know her new man, below: Us Weekly reports that Vanessa Grimaldi is officially dating a man named Josh Wolfe. Josh is a Canadian businessman. Notably, Josh works as Director of Outreach and Programming in the Quebec and Atlantic Canadian region for the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs. It is not clear how the two of them met, but Bachelor fans have been speculating that they’re dating for a while now. It has been over a year since Vanessa and Nick Viall split in August of 2017. Here is a photo of Josh from Passover. Just last week, Vanessa opened up to Us Weekly to share that she is off the market. “I am dating someone,” she confirmed on Saturday, January 18 She did not reveal the man’s identity at the iHeart Radio Podcast Awards in Los Angeles. But she did divulge that her new relationship is “very exciting.” Notably, she has confirmed that this boyfriend is not the man whom she was seeing in April 2018 when she teased that she was dating again. Which means that Josh is definitely, definitely not any sort of Nick Viall rebound. It sounds like this is more serious than just a few dates. At the very least, it looks like Vanessa has met the family. She currently follows Josh’s sisters, Rebecca and Mandy, on Instagram, along with some other family of his. She and Josh interact with each other on Instagram, liking each other’s posts, which is what drew the attention of eagle-eyed fans. (We are always in awe of the detective skills of devoted fans in every single fandom) Here is Josh with his sisters: Speaking of social media activity, it appears that Josh Wolfe was in a relationship of his own back when Vanessa was still with Nick. Older photos make it appear that Josh was dating a woman named Maria Antonopoulos for some time in 2017. Perhaps the timing for him and for Vanessa lined up just perfectly for them to find each other while single. Sometimes, finding a healthy, happy romance depends upon luck and timing more than almost anything else. We’re certainly happy for them both that they seem to have found each other. Vanessa is not the only one who has moved on. It was almost exactly a year ago that we reported that Nick Viall and January Jones were dating . Were is the operative word, here. Within a couple of months, the Mad Men actress and the Bachelor Villain had broken up. It’s always better for everyone involved when all romantic parties can move on with their lives. Vanessa and Nick aren’t getting back together, but they can both date and love again. View Slideshow: The Bachelor & The Bachelorette Cast: Their Hottest Swimsuit Photos Ever!
If you’ve been keeping up with The Bachelor Spoilers , you know Colton’s final choice. But he made a lot of decisions before the finale. On this week’s episode of The Bachelor , some drama between two of Colton’s contestants left the leading man unsure of whom to believe. And that only how the episode began … and ended. For the week’s first group date, the women are costumed as swashbuckling pirates. Katie, Heather, Hannah B., Courtney, Kirpa, Tracy, Demi, and Caelynn all got into costume. Viewers did get a kick out of hearing them all refer to Colton as “captain” for the evening. While the purpose is not explained, maybe it gave Caelynn — Miss North Carolina 2018 — a home field advantage. NC’s coast was Blackbeard’s favorite haunt, and Caelynn certainly caught Colton’s eye. Hannah Brown, on the other hand, did not love seeing him give her rival all of that attention. Demi Burnett was living her best life as a pirate and really got into the role. “The job of a pirate is to steal and I’m here to steal Colton’s heart,” Demi announced. She joked: “I don’t want to be another one of those yo-ho-hos.” Hannah B, on the other hand, felt her insecurities come out. “It’s a little frustrating to watch Caelynn engage with Colton right in front of me,” Hannah admitted. Hannah Brown is Miss Alabama, and watching Miss North Carolina excel did not sit well with her. “I’m trying my hardest to not get upset but then Caelynn is just everywhere,” Hannah lamented. “I didn’t come here to compete in another pageant,” she said. “Honestly, this sucks.” Whatever that pirate contest was, Caelynn won it, and Colton gave her a congratulatory kiss. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” Hannah bemoaned. “It’s not easy to see Caelynn moving forward with Colton.” “It brings out all of my insecurities and I start to spiral,” she admitted. “If Colton knew the truth about Caelynn,” Hannah B guessed. “I think he would feel differently about her.” Hannah B decided to confront Colton about Caelynn during the cocktail portion of their date. Note to all The Bachelor hopefuls: trying to undercut your competition always, always makes you look like the bad guy. “I was just in a high-stress situation with her and it was like the most hostile environment I’ve ever been in,” she told Colton. She continued: “It’s hard because it’s like, if that’s what you want, you don’t want me.” Perhaps due to how flustered and insecure she felt, Hannah B didn’t really communicate very well with Colton. This left him feeling frustrated and perhaps a little annoyed — she actually had to ask him for a kiss at the end of their chat. Yikes. To make matters worse for Hannah B, Colton then made a beeline for Caelynn to hear her side of the story. Caelynn was blindsided and cried. She confessed to Colton that she hadn’t planned on addressing her past at that time. So Colton presented her with the Group Date Rose. “I want you to know that I like you a lot,” Colton assured Caelynn. “And it’s about our time together and our connection.” Then there was Colton’s one-on-one date with Elyse. Their date isn’t exactly romantic — a lot of viewers were reminded of babysitting, even if it’s for a great cause. Colton does charity work with kids who are hospitalized, and he and Elyse go on some fair rides with ten children. Elyse does praise that seeing Colton be so good with kids is “the sexiest thing ever.” She also opens up about her life, and the two of them get to bond despite their (gasp) 5-year age gap. Elyse gets the rose. For the second group date, Colton once again has his heaving man-bosom on display. Tayshia, Nina, Catherine, Sydney, Onyeka, Cassie, Nicole, and Caitlin join him for a workout class. On the one hand, most people would rather be pirates than sweat in front of the guy they’re dating and the viewers at home. On the other hand, Colton’s tatas are out as a feast for their eyes. That’s fair. “We pull up and Colton is waiting for us topless,” Caitlin said. “Which is a really nice sight.” Terry Crews, who is always a delight, and his wife Rebecca were there to help Colton in his quest to identify his “strong woman.” We joked about Caelynn having an advantage, but with this group date, some women quickly stood out from the rest. Sydney is a dancer, Onyeka is a track star, and Catherine knows karate. Onyeka gets the “strongest woman” trophy. Then it’s time for the cocktail portion and to lounge by the pool. “I feel like I’ve kind of been slipping behind a little bit,” Caitlin admitted. “Because we got sent home on the last group date.” But when she actually gets some one-on-one time with Colton, she falters. He asks her what she’s looking for in a man, and she says someone who’s happy to have a silly evening with her and her friends. Colton just about has an out-of-body experience out of sheer boredom with her answer. Then, Caitlin confesses that her life has been pretty chill so far, so she doesn’t have anything major to spill to him. Colton goes ahead and sends her home because he doesn’t feel much of a spark. The Caelynn drama with Hannah Brown isn’t over, though. Colton speaks to both women, who both paint unflattering (but vague) portraits of their former frenemies. “I feel like I’m going around and round in circles,” Colton said. “I don’t know what to believe.” “I’m frustrated because I still don’t understand this,” he confesses to an unseen producer. “The last thing I wanted to do today was spend all day at the pool party talking about this,” he said. “I’m not getting clarity at all.” Since Caelynn had received the group date rose, Hannah B gets a rose. Bri, Catherine, and Nina get sent home. View Slideshow: The Bachelor Spoilers: Colton’s Choice, Stunning Final Rose Aftermath REVEALED! [Updated]
Colton Underwood is a virgin. Did you know that? ABC continued to hype this fact about its Season 23 star on the three-hour premiere episode Monday night, which featured Colton kissing two women and sending home seven more. “I’m the first virgin Bachelor and it’s crazy to even think about that,” Underwood said early on. “I couldn’t be more hopeful and excited.” Did his 30 suitors feel the same way, however? How did they approach the fact that he's never slid his throbbing unit inside of any private parts? Scroll down for everything you ever wanted to know about this lengthy season premiere — and visit our section of The Bachelor spoilers to see who actually wins… 1. Ready to Meet the Ladies After the usual kind of introduction — which, yes, focused heavily on both Colton’s former football career and his virginity – Chris met up with Colton outside of the mansion to meet his many suitors. 2. They Were Ready to Swipe That V Card “If I was the person that Colton gave his virginity to, I would definitely bring out all the tricks,” said Onyeka, an IT risk consultant from Dallas, Texas, at one point. 3. Et Tu, Demi? Added this suitor: “I know that he’s a virgin, which is kind of concerning. If you only ever have a vanilla cupcake, well how do you know you don’t like chocolate? How do you know you don’t like strawberry? I feel like you have to try out all the cupcakes first to know what you really want. I’m the damn confetti cake.” 4. Okay. On to the Arrivals! There was Caelynn — who currently holds the title of Miss North Carolina 2018 – wore her sash and everything! 5. Yup, She’s a Sloth There was Alex D., who dressed in a head-to-toe sloth costume (because Colton likes to take things “slowly.” Really. This was her reasoning.) and was so very into it that her arrival took up about half the premiere. 6. Pulled Over for Lameness There was Tracy, who showed up in a cop cruise because she was the self-proclaimed fashion police. Wow, huh? The sloth costume may have made more sense. View Slideshow

The Bachelor is still nearly two months away from its premiere, but to the surprise of no one, The Bachelor spoilers are in full swing. We hereby invite you to come inside our spoilers page for the latest on the new season, ironically starring a man who’s never come ins- Sorry. Forget we said that. On to The Bachelor spoilers. As those who follow the franchise know, this season’s leading man, Colton Underwood, is noteworthy for more than the usual reasons. He’s a virgin. So the Fantasy Suite stakes are high. Who will he bring, though? According to the God of Bachelor Spoilers (and among men), Reality Steve, his choices have been made. Ready to meet Colton’s final four women – the lucky ones who earned hometown dates with the former football star – and final three? Hannah Godwin is friends with Danielle Maltby, a presence on Nick Viall’s season. Hannah makes a great first impression with Colton. She’s not unattractive. Cassie Randolph, above, is an ESL teacher from Huntington Beach, California. She is 23 years old. Also not unattractive in the least. Tayshia Adams is 28 years old and Orange County, California. Other than that, she remains a bit of a mystery, personally and professionally. There is no Facebook account attributed to her, and her Instagram is private, though her bio suggests she’s a woman of faith. Tayshia has been married once, to Josh Bourelle. Caelynn Miller-Keyes is 23 years old and the current reigning Miss North Carolina 2018. Good for her … and obviously good for Colton. So there you have it. Hannah Godwin, Cassie Randolph, Tayshia Adams, and Caelynn Miller-Keyes are the last four women on this 23rd season of the show. There are only three overnight date spots, of course, which means someone didn’t make the cut. According to Steve, we know who. Tayshia Adams, Hannah Godwin, and Cassie Randolph are moving on. Caelynn Miller-Keyes got the chop after hometowns. From everything we’ve gathered so far, Cassie Randolph feels like the front-runner for Colton’s final rose, but we can’t confirm that. Steve’s latest intel suggests overnight dates in Portugal have concluded, and a final rose ceremony is being filmed this week in Spain. So far, though, that’s all we know. Either Steve is playing this close to the vest or hasn’t gathered enough Bachelor spoilers to drop the obligatory bombsell yet. There is still plenty of time left. With filming wrapping soon, Colton, Hannah, Tayshia, and Cassie should be active on the socials again soon, so watch for clues. Also, ABC has released the first official promo for Underwood’s virginal journey for love, which kicks off Monday, January 7. View Slideshow: The Bachelor Season 23: Cast Revealed! Will the controversial pick to lead the franchise find the love he’s always wanted … the love worthy of his v-card and heart alike? All we can do is stay tuned, people.
Kailyn Lowry's roller-coaster relationships with her three baby daddies might make for compelling viewing on Teen Mom 2 , but we're sure the mother of three would prefer much more drama-free co-parenting relationships. Typically, it's Chris Lopez or Javi Marroquin who gives Kail a hard time, but these days, it's her OG baby daddy, Jo Rivera, that's making her life more difficult. The news comes as a shock, as Kail and Chris have typically been able to sort out their differences over the years. But as Kail confirmed on the latest episode of her podcast, that is definitely no longer the case. Take a look: 1. What Happened? Jo is Kail’s first baby daddy, and for years, the two of them peacefully co-parented 8-year-old Isaac. 2. Ups and Downs Sure, there have been some rough patches over the years, but until recently, it looked as though Kail and Jo would be able to set aside their differences for the sake of their son. 3. Making It Work Kail even attended Jo’s wedding — and happily posed for pic with the bride — when he married Vee Torres earlier this year. 4. Money Matters But as is so often the case with this sort of thing, Jo and Kail’s relationship broke down over money. 5. Kail’s Cash According to comments Kail made on her recent Coffee Convos podcast, Jo is coming after her cash in a big way. 6. A Tricky Situation Opening up to co-host Lindsie Chrisley, Kail revealed that she was stunned when Jo recently filed a petition requesting child support. View Slideshow
As has been explained and detailed many times over the past few months, Colton Underwood has never been inside a woman. But ABC has now announced the date on which he’ll premiere inside The Bachelor Mansion as the lead star in this ever-popular franchise. The network just confirmed that Season 23 of The Bachelor will kick off on January 7, 2019. The former football player first competed for Becca Kufrin’s heart on Season 14 of The Bachelorette this year — and he later shattered Tia Booth’s heart on Season 5 of Bachelor in Paradise. Underwood has been making his reality show rounds, but, as he’s mentioned on multiple occasions, he’s never gone all around the bases with a woman. We don’t mean to keep hammering this point home, but you better believe ABC will continue to promote Underwood as a virgin all throughout his upcoming season. “I’m very excited,” Underwood said on Good Morning America two months ago, adding: “Third time’s a charm.’ That’s what they say, right? That’s what I’m hoping for.” Colton also seems aware that his selection as the Bachelor wasn’t met with universal praise. Some critics out there think he’s too boring; too vanilla; not horny or lewd enough to be entertaining. He’s aware of what these folks have been saying and he’s trying to stay above it all. “People hate what they don’t understand & try to destroy it,” Underwood Tweeted in early September , adding: “Only try to keep yourself clear and don’t allow that destructive force to spoil something that to you is so simple, natural & beautiful.” You can’t deny that he seems like an incredibly nice guy, but that almost seems to be the problem Bachelor fans have with him. Underwood actually met three of the women competing for his affection when he taped an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show this fall. He told the comedian at the time that he’s looking for someone who is a “good person” and “could be a good mother” one day. Hear that, potential suitors?!? “I feel like I was born to be a dad,” the 26-year old added. “I’m super excited about this.” As for what else Underwood is hoping to find on the show? Other qualification he has for a future wife? Colton sounds open to almost anything or anyone, but did say the following to Ellen: “I like to be challenged in a relationships. “My motto for this season is to live in the moment. I’m going to be present and just enjoy myself and have fun. The other two shows, I had to deal with some situations. Now I just want to relax and have fun.” The question is: Will he fall in love with one women or two ? View Slideshow: The Bachelor Season 23: Cast Revealed!
