Jef Holm and Emily Maynard were surprisingly seen together over the weekend. Second thoughts perhaps? Or just the awkward pick-up-your-stuff reunion? Most likely the latter. Emily Maynard and Jef Holm broke up earlier this month. The Bachelorette stars have even confirmed it, issuing a statement last week. Nevertheless, the two were photographed together Sunday in Charlotte. Both clad in sunglasses, the reality TV pair, who were supposedly miserable together, kept grim faces as they headed to their car with Ricki, Maynard’s 7-year-old daughter. No word yet on why the couple spent time together over the weekend, or whether it will somehow lead to a reconciliation between the couple. We’d bet heavily against it. In other Bachelor news, Tony Pieper and Blakeley Shea Jones split. Sad.
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 »
Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson have broken up. Knock us over with a feather! Seriously, NO ONE saw that coming … them making it 11 months, that is. Crazy! They had a good run after getting engaged in Switzerland as part of The Bachelor season finale, but the couple has parted ways , according to reports. Many Bachelor fans felt they were doomed from the start, but they seemed quite stable of late, and even Tweeted about possible wedding venues this fall. Their time together was marred by cheating rumors involving Ben Flajnik and near-unanimous dislike of Courtney Robertson by fans, based on her behavior on the show. Post-engagement, the couple assured viewers they intended to enjoy a long courtship away from reality TV cameras before walking down the aisle. Looks like that was a good move. Here’s wishing them both the best in this difficult time … and hoping that they reunite next summer on Bachelor Pad 4. Also, looks like a lot of you were correct in THG’s survey: Ben and Courtney: Will it last? YES! They are made for each other! Maybe, she could be more normal than we think … NO chance, are you freaking kidding me?!?! View Poll »

They may not have walked away with any money, but Blakeley Shea Jones and Tony Pieper got engaged last night on the Bachelor Pad season finale . Before Nick Peterson shocked the world and screwed over Rachel Trueheart en route to $250,000, single father Tony found himself $100,000 lighter. He popped the question to Blakeley with a ring by Hollywood fave Neil Lane. “It is a gorgeous ring,” a diamond expert says of the 3.5-carat rock. “It’s very substantial . The main stone is a square cut, with a pave border and a double pave band.” One worth an estimated hundred grand, according to reports. About a week before the Bachelor Pad finale taped, “Tony was very quietly flown out to LA … He met with Neil so he could pick the ring out personally.” His efforts certainly paid off, as Blakeley Shea Jones said yes. While neither made it far on The Bachelor or Bachelorette , the couple met at the Pad and decided to make their relationship permanent after just a few months. Congratulations, Blakeley and Tony!
Jerry Lawler, a veteran WWE wrestler and one of the announcers on Monday Night Raw , suffered a heart attack while calling a match last night, collapsing on the air and being taken to a local Montreal hospital during the broadcast. The 62-year old wrestled in a match earlier in the show and was carried backstage at the Bell Centre as broadcasting partner Michael Cole assured viewers the development was “serious.” Lawler reportedly needed CPR before he was placed in an ambulance. “Jerry “The King” Lawler suffered a heart attack while commentating during last night’s broadcast of Monday Night Raw in Montreal,” the WWE said in a statement. “We are hopeful Jerry makes a full recovery and returns to WWE in the near future. Our thoughts are with Jerry and his family.” Monday Night Raw continued without Lawler behind the mic, but the show turned off its match-calling audio out of respect for the situation. He is now believed to be breathing on his own. “I’m shaken by the news of my friend Jerry Lawler’s medical emergency in Montreal,” Tweeted longtime broadcast partner Jim Ross. “Hands shaking. Prayers for the King. I feel helpless.”
Another partially exciting season of Bachelor Pad is in the books, and the finale of ABC’s guilty pleasure smash certainly packed in something for everyone. Who won it all? Who broke up? Who got engaged? Let’s break it all down in THG’s final BP recap … Kalon McMahon and Lindzi Cox are still together! Plus 20 . Erica Rose, in a desperate attempt to stay relevant, tells Lindzi to be careful because she’s spotted Kalon at different events with other women. Minus 10 . Lindzi didn’t know what to say or do. So, yeah. Minus 5 . Jaclyn said she was still hurt by being betrayed by her “best friend” Rachel on the last episode, when the latter did not take Jackie and Ed to the finale. Rachel said Nick pushed to oust them because they would have been a bigger threat, which makes total sense. Jaclyn? Not altogether stable. Minus 50 . Blakeley Shea, or Blakeley Jones , or Blakeley Shea Jones … whatever she wants to be called, she may not have won the money, but she won in love. Seriously. She and Tony Pieper are still together! And then some! T-Piep surprised everyone, including his lady, with a proposal on stage! Plus 150 . She said yes, you guys. Obvi. Plus 10 . Then the final four took the stage and there was clearly major tension between Rachel and Michael, who clearly aren’t about to pull a Tony-Blakeley. Mike said he’s not looking for a serious long-distance relationship … but Rachel revealed that she found out Michael in exactly that with someone else. Plus 50 for Mike being in the hot seat two years in a row on the finale, but this time at least the love of his life isn’t getting engaged to another guy. Chris Bukowski seemed a bit remorseful, having played everyone openly from the start. Not even his family was proud of him, he said. Minus 160 . Therein lies the problem with screwing people over all season. He won enough competitions to make it this far, but votes were in short supply for C. Rachel and Nick got almost a clean sweep. Plus 40 . Now for the interesting part – or what has the potential to be. In separate rooms, Nick and Rache had to decide to “share” or “keep” the money. If both choose to split it down the middle, that’s exactly what happens with the prize. If one chooses to keep the $250,000, their partner is out of luck. If both choose to keep it, the money gets dispersed among the rest of the Bachelor Pad housemates and Rachel and Nick walk away with nothing. It’s a big dice roll any way you slice it, but Rachel Trueheart said she wouldn’t have gotten this far without her partner and chose to share the cash. After saying how he got here on his own, Nick decided to KEEP IT FOR HIMSELF. Nick Peterson is your SOLE Bachelor Pad winner, ladies and gentlemen! Plus 275 for the major brass that took. We’d feel bad for Rache, but no one even acted like Nick was even on the show, and hey, it is a game after all. You know Chris is giving him props right now. Plus 25 . Rachel was “devastated” and called her partner a “f–king schmuck.” Nick clearly did not care, saying she didn’t even want to be partners with him. Sorry Ms. Trueheart. It’s the name of the lame game. EPISODE TOTAL: +335! SEASON TOTAL: -420! What do you think of Nick Peterson’s fast one?
Ryan Lochte would love to score a cameo on Gossip Girl. The reason is simple: Blake Lively stars on Gossip Girl . Since his powerhouse performances at the London Olympics, the swimming champion has already booked guest-starring gigs on both 90210 and 30 Rock and was even considered (briefly) as a candidate for The Bachelor (he’s now out of the running). Not shabby. At the Rebecca Minkoff show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in NYC last week, Ryan was asked what show would he love to book next? “Gossip Girl,” the 28-year-old answered with a big smile, adding that “If I’m ever [considered for a cameo on] Gossip Girl, I will not turn that down .” Why? “Because I have a big crush on Blake Lively!” Sorry man. Blake Lively married Ryan Reynolds last night in S.C. But it’s okay to crush on her still, right? At least that’s what we’re telling ourselves. [Photos: WENN.com]

Chris Daughtry Tweeted a shirtless photo of himself this week, and damn, this is one rock star who’s clearly been rocking it at the gym. It was long overdue, he says. The 32-year-old wrote, “Just left the gym! After 5 yrs of neglect, I’m PUMPED to see ABs again! Hard work and commitment is paying off!” It sure is: He added. “Since the Lifehouse tour in 2010, I’ve lost 23 pounds, but some of that was muscle. I had to refocus my food intake and mix up my routines.” “It wasn’t until a few months ago that I REALLY got serious and motivated,” said the father of three, explaining his drive. “Now there’s no going back!” And when one fan Tweeted about the rocker landing the cover of Men’s Health , the former American Idol star replied: “Hope so! Or Mens Fitness.” MH and MF are probably on the phone as we speak.
