According to some, Ben Higgins may be the best looking Bachelor star of all-time. But that doesn't mean he still won't be a heartbreaker on Season 20 of this ABC hit. “I'm ready to find my wife,” Higgins says in this new trailer, though logic dictates that this means 24 women will go home NOT as Ben’s wife over the next several weeks. (EDITOR'S NOTE: To get an idea of who those scorned women will be, visit our section of The Bachelor spoilers .) In the following video, we see alternating clips of contestant excitedly telling the camera that Ben is falling in love with them… … and then subsequent by clips of women crying because he's rejected their attempts affection. There's nothing quite like preying on the emotion of vulnerable females as a way to garner ratings, huh? Higgins even refers to one woman as “crazy” after she tells the camera that she's about to “cry.” The 27-year-old software salesman previously told reporters he doesn't think he'll get overly physical with his suitors this season because he's legitimately seeking a soul mate. “I really wanted to concentrate on getting to know these woman outside of the physical aspect of it,” Higgins explained. “I think that is always important in a relationship, and it comes in time, but I wanted to make sure we spent our time getting to know each other one-on-one and not necessarily kissing or making out the whole the time.” You can start to watch The Bachelor online and on television when it premieres on Monday, January 4 at 8/7c on ABC.
Catherine Giudici and Sean Lowe shared life-altering news with fans on Tuesday afternoo: They are expecting their first child together! The famous twosome, who fell in love on The Bachelor, posted messages on their Instagram accounts, with the father-to-be writing: “It’s happening! I’m going to be a dad!” Giudici, meanwhile, published the romantic photo above and wrote as a caption to the image “Hey baby.” Lowe and Giudici got married (on ABC!) in January of 2014 after falling in love during Season 17 of The Bachelor. But life as a Husband and Wife has been somewhat of a struggle for the celebrities, who are actually appearing as we type on the new season of Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars. They previously played an April Fool’s gag in which they claimed Giudici was pregnant , eventually apologizing after receiving some backlash from those who found the joke to be in poor taste. But now it’s the real thing. We send the couple our best wishes for a happy, healthy baby and we bet they make an appearance this season on the show that made them famous. Find out next month when you have a chance to watch The Bachelor online after it premieres on January 4.
The sixth season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premieres tonight on Bravo, and you can safely assume that once again, the ladies’ “friendships” and wine glass throwing abilities will both be put to the test. Things may be a bit different this time, however, as in addition to the usual addiction and infidelity-fueled drama there’s a bizarre amount of controversy surrounding Yolanda Foster’s struggle with Lyme disease . Foster was diagnosed with the illness in 2012, and her condition has steadily worsened in the years since. Fans who have watched Yolanda’s health deteriorate were shocked when returning Housewife Taylor Armstrong mocked Foster and suggested that she was exaggerating her symptoms. Astonishingly, Kyle Richards recently doubled-down on that claim and suggested in an interview that she believes Foster is faking it . Yolanda has remained relatively quiet on the issue, but insiders say she’s plotting her revenge on Armstrong and Richards , and she hopes to make this season hell for those who betrayed her. Production sources tell Radar Online that Foster will prove she has Lyme disease by sharing her medical records with those who doubt her. And of course, she won’t stop with just proving her fake friends wrong: “She seems to be the center of all of the drama,” an insider tells the website. “The ladies have continued to question her Lyme disease diagnosis, all behind her back. “Knowing the cattiness of the ladies, Yolanda isn’t surprised about the whispers, but just wishes it would have been expressed to her directly.” “Yolanda watched how Bravo handled Brooks’ cancer scandal. She won’t tolerate this playing out as gossip fodder or allow the show to minimize the seriousness of what she has been through.” The source adds that Yolanda discussed her intentions with producers but Taylor and Kyle were not warned in advance that they would be confronted. If we weren’t already looking forward to tonight’s premiere, we certainly are now!
One of the main reasons we love watching The Bachelor and The Bachelorette on ABC every winter and summer for years on end is for the drama. In fact, maybe that's the only reason we love it. We can't get enough of the competition, the on-screen drunkenness and the epic surprises. With that in mind, we've taken a look back at some of the most shocking moments in The Bachelor and The Bachelorette history. Check them out below! 1. Jesse’s Major Slip Up Talk about a rose ceremony disaster. On The Bachelor Season 5, Jesse Palmer accidentally gave a rose to the wrong girl because he mixed up their names, calling Katie instead of Karen. He was ultimately allowed to give out an extra rose so both of them could stay. 2. Brad Womack’s Double Rejection This was definitely at the top of the list for shocking season finales. The whole point of the show was for Brad Womack to fall in love and propose, but instead, he walked away from The Bachelor Season 11 completely alone. He did come back for a later season, which was even more dramatic than the first. 3. Stacey Gets a Little Too Friendly All that pressure of the Bachelor mansion could drive a girl to drink, and Stacey Elza knows this all too well. On The Bachelor Season 12, she had a bit too much booze and embarassed herself by giving Matt Grant a pair of her panties. 4. Jason Changes His Mind Well, how’s this for a seriously shocking After the Final Rose Special? Jason Mesnick basically just changed his mind at the end of The Bachelor Season 13, dumping Melissa and asking runner-up Molly to be with him instead. 5. Rozlyn’s Secret Affair Apparently, Rozlyn Papa didn’t get the memo that she was supposed to be on The Bachelor Season 14 for, you know, The Bachelor. Instead, she had her sights set on one of the show’s producers. 6. Rated R We hear it every season. You have to be on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette “for the right reasons.” Well, Justin “Rated R” Rego was apparently not there for the right reasons at all, since he had a girlfriend while he was on the show. Woops. View Slideshow
Kaitlyn Bristowe and her Bachelorette winner, fiance Shawn Booth, are still publicly “together” and saying all the right things about their romance. Their actions speak otherwise, however, and louder. View Slideshow: The Bachelor Couples: Are They Still Together? Skeptical Bachelor fans who felt Shawn and Kaitlyn’s engagemen was a sham for the start may end up feeling vindicated before too long. A new report reveals that Booth and Bristowe aren’t even sleeping in the same bed, even as they’re keeping up appearances with their charade. This week’s edition of In Touch claims that they’ve already split; Shawn cheating on Kaitlyn has also been a persistent rumor of late. A witness dished to the tabloid, “They were so lovey-dovey. But, when the cameras turned off, they immediately stopped holding hands.” At Fashion Week, “Kaitlyn jumped on her phone while Shawn sat there checking out the beautiful models. They act like total strangers.” Other sources close to them say that fans at Fashion Week weren’t imagining the tension between Shawn Booth and Kaitlyn Bristowe. It was real. An insider dished, “Kaitlyn and Shawn really did love each other at first. But, he was constantly on her about who she was texting and talking to.” “Shawn never showed this side of himself during the show. Kaitlyn eventually realized that she didn’t want to be with someone like that.” Still, the couple (or former couple?) are sticking it out, and not just because they want to make sure if this romance can stand the test of time. The magazine goes on to say that Kaitlyn and Shawn are faking their engagement and planning on keeping that going as long as they can. After all, even staying together means a big payout – just ask Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert – so imagine the jackpot they’ll hit if they marry. True love.

Though The Bachelor couple Chris Soules and Whitney Bischoff split earlier this year, there are rumors that they might be getting back together! In May Whitney pulled the plug on the wedding plans to Prince Farming and moved back to her home city of Chicago. Since then the former Bachelor contestant and fertility nurse has been off the radar trying to live a normal life. However, Chris’ recent social media post have left many wondering if the former couple will rekindle the romance . On August 29, Chris Soules posted a photo on Twitter of himself and Bachelorette star Cody Sattler. The caption of the photo announced that he and Cody will be partying in Chicago – where Whitney lives. Cody said that they were partying that evening at Vertigo Sky Lounge, but the big question everyone is asking is did Chris and Whitney meet up? We aren’t entirely sure. But it is definitely a possibility! The duo hasn’t been very candid or open about their split. Of course, there were rumors that Chris cheated on Whitney with his Dancing With the Stars partner Witney Carson, torpedoing his engagement. Others say that Chris is obsessed with fame and has no desire to settle down, which runs counter to ABC’s entire narrative about him. According to the those insiders, the Iowa native soaked up his 15 minutes of fame and begged for more by signing up for more reality shows. Did throwing himself into Dancing with the Stars (Carson fling or not) instead of wedding plans doom his future with Whitney? Speculation has run amok, but mum has been the word thus far. So it is safe to assume that any reconnection will also be kept under the radar. If Chris tries to win her back, it will likely be for the sake of the spotlight … which would be ironic, in that Bachelor Nation has already moved on. Hopefully, Whitney will just run the other way!

DeAnna Pappas is expecting once again. The former Bachelorette star took to Instagram on Monday evening to share a precious photo with her followers, including with it an even more precious announcement. “So excited to finally share that we are expecting #BabyStag2 #AddisonMarie #BabyStag @stephenstag we are so full of joy and so blessed!” Pappas wrote as a caption. The cute image above depicts Pappas and 18-month old daughter, Addison Marie, who DeAnna and husband Stephen Stagliano welcomed into the world in February of 2014. Addison is touching her mother’s baby bump in the adorable photograph. “Stephen and I are thrilled to be expanding our family!” the 26-year old tells People, adding: “We have wanted more kids for a while now and are so blessed that we are pregnant again.” Pappas and Stagliano have been married since 2011. Prior to this relationship, Pappas looked for love on both The Bachelor (during Brad Womack’s 2007 season) and The Bachelorette (in 2008).
After the stunning events of last week, the drama picked up with a vengeance once more on Bachelor in Paradise Season 2 Episode 7 Sunday. Heading into the rose ceremony, Tanner’s rose went to Jade Roper, while Kirk’s went to Carly, Joshua’s to Tenley, and Jared gave his to Ashley I. It came down to JJ and his choice of Megan, with whom he’d gone on a nice date, and Juelia, third wheel of Joe Bailey and Samantha Steffen . Or … his third option, Ashley Salter. She got the rose! Then to further play the hero, JJ peaced out of the show to pursue a girl back home instead. With JJ out, Juelia’s last home was Dan … who chose Amber, sending Juelia and Clare home in the process. Juelia cried … right into Mikey’s arms. Those two had flirted before, but when Juelia gave her rose to Joe, Mikey was sent packing – regrettably, in light of Joe being the worst person ever . If you watch Bachelor in Paradise online , you know there are no hard rules, though, and Juelia asked Chris Harrison if Mikey could come back. He did! Dan said, “They wouldn’t let him get on a plane, he made a pitch to come back and be with Juelia, and he’s here to beat the s–t out of Joe.” Would he do just that? We’ll find out, but first, Jade and Tanner decide to “officially” be boyfriend and girlfriend, and Nick Peterson showed up. Nick, who famously screwed over Rachel Trueheart to win Bachelor Pad , asked Samantha on a date, and was quickly rejected … to Nick’s chagrin. “I’m shocked, especially because she told me she’d say yes,” he said, implying that they talked on social media before the show. Sound familiar? Out of options, Nick asked out Ashley S., and with their plans to spend the day on a private island nixed due to weather, they headed to a hotel. For some spa treatments … and tequila. “I was drunk the whole day,” said Nick later in a confessional. “By the time night came around, I was just obliterated. Just hammered drunk.” The romantic future for this couple is a bit up in the air, but man, they made for entertaining TV. The same could be said for Ashley I., as usual. “She has much stronger feelings for me than I have for her,” admitted Jared, with whom she is obsessed, ending things before it escalated further. As for Joe, the Villian of Paradise? He apologized to the group for his behavior with Juelia, while Samantha wanted in silence … giving him the cold shoulder and later dumping him! It’s not clear what changed between them, but as Samantha told the group her big decision, Joe sat down with Joshua and plotted his revenge. “I’m thinking, ‘Bitch, you told me to do whatever it took to get a rose to advance until you got here,'” he said, taking way too much pleasure in this. “I think it’s time to put some stuff straight. Clear the air. There’s no way she’s going to get around this subject, I’m going to have cold hard facts.” “There’s 700 text messages we had in a month. As soon as she starts to hear I have my phone and I’m getting text messages, she’ll squirm.” “Samantha is the reason why I’m in the position that I’m in and being f–ked over by everyone in the house. I’m going to be like, ‘Got you, bitch!'” Game on tonight? View Slideshow: Bachelor in Paradise Season 2 Cast Photos
