It turns out that before she met Ben Flajnik, The Bachelor bad girl and alleged maneater Courtney Robertson dated more than one Hollywood hunk. Who are we talking out? These peeps, to name a few: Entourage cast member Adrian Grenier Desperate Housewives’ Jesse Metcalfe (below) Reese Witherspoon’s now-husband, agent Jim Toth Witherspoon apparently didn’t even know about her man’s long-ago dalliance with catty Courtney Robertson until returning from a trip to Europe this month. Not that she cares in the least. “It didn’t faze Reese,” a source says of the Oscar-winner, who has two kids and married a second time with the CAA agent, 41, nearly a year ago. “There’s no way Jim was close to serious about Courtney,” the source scoffs of the model. “I mean, how do you go from that chick to Reese?” Hmm. That is a fair point. [Photo: WENN.com]
The Bachelorette’s newly-minited star, Emily Maynard , was spotted bonding in L.A. with two women who have been in her shoes: Ali Fedotowsky and Ashley Hebert! The reality star joined Ali and Ashley for a makeup appointment and some chitchat at Blushington Makeup & Beauty Lounge in West Hollywood … obviously. According to a source, the ladies were talking about the ABC reality show, wth Ali Fedotowsky and Ashley Hebert giving Maynard advice about what to expect. “All three ladies got along so great,” a source says. “The ladies were really cute together; they joked around and … were all in very good moods – energetic and excited about being in each other’s company.” After the makeup session, the women filmed a promo for Emily Maynards Bachelorette season to air during the February 27 episode of The Bachelor . The following week is The Bachelor season finale. Our Bachelor spoilers page has the latest scoop on what (we think) plays out with Ben Flajnik’s season. [Photos: WENN.com]
Courtney Robertson continues to stir up drama on The Bachelor and her controversial tactics have landed her on two different tabloid covers this week. Probably her true goal all along. “Winning!” Speculation is running rampant about how long Courtney lasts ( The Bachelor spoilers we’ve posted offer more on that topic), but one thing is clear: She is the star of the show this season, for better or worse. In their new issues, Us Weekly and In Touch have tag-teamed Courtney Robertson (they’re probably not the first … winning!!!) with the following accusations: She was dating an old rich guy while on the show! There’s a secret sex tape that could RUIN her! Her attraction to Ben Flajnik is a complete lie! She’s even worse than you think! Okay, at least one of those is BS. No way could she be worse than we – and many other Bachelor fans, based on the majority comments we’ve read on THG – think. Yes, we realize it’s a TV show and they edit to great the best narrative that gets people talking. But do you honestly believe none of this is Court’s real personality? Tell us: What’s your take on Courtney Robertson?
The Bachelor star Ben Flajnik is blogging all about the events of this week’s episode, which saw tensions rise on the dreaded two-on-one date and beyond. Flajnik sure had a lot on his plate Monday, with a nude Courtney Robertson, a bawling Blakeley Shea and a two-timing Casey Shteamer , among other issues: Excerpts from his take on the episode below: On Kacie B. : “I sometimes worried that we would run out of things to talk about, but we were able to “survive” on an island together while keeping a smile on our faces, then learn more meaningful things about one another.” “I really appreciated Kacie opening up the way she did. It takes guts to tell someone the things you’re not proud of, and I respect her even more for turning it into a positive.” On Courtney : “Group dates have always been difficult for me, but they’ve gotten harder as time goes on and as feelings have developed. It’s not easy balancing relationships while trying to make everyone feel special.” That’s why I was drawn to [ Courtney Robertson ] during the daytime portion of the group date – she made it a point to spend time with me. I always knew how she felt and she made sure to let me know that she was thinking of me.” “I will admit though, I wasn’t pleased when she got in the pool during my time with Jamie. I know she was just trying to let me know that she’s interested, but Jamie has a tough time opening up and having Courtney there wasn’t helping.” On Blakeley : “I actually had a great time that afternoon and it wasn’t until the dinner when things got really hard. Blakeley had been an open book since day one and I experienced more growth with her than I did with almost any of the women.” “She never ceased to amaze me with her openness. I knew I had to decide whether or not I saw her as my wife. I could’ve easily dated Blakeley for another few weeks but I knew in my heart it wasn’t forever so I decided to let her go. ” On Casey S. : “Watching it now I realize I could’ve been more sympathetic to her. She was clearly involved with a guy that wasn’t appreciating her but all I could hear was that she was still in love with someone else.” “I had just sent Blakeley home, and I kept thinking, ‘How could you let yourself be here still if you’re not that into me?’ I can’t change the way I reacted but I do hope Casey S. finds a man that appreciates her like she deserves.” On Jaime’s kissing lesson : “Having Jamie walk me through one was sexy in theory, but it was so awkward in the moment! I wanted to make her feel comfortable and I know she was really working hard to put herself out there.” “Still, I felt like I was taking advantage of her in some way. I knew there wasn’t enough time left to get to a place with Jamie that we needed to so I had to let her go.” “She is one of the sweetest, most sincere women I’ve met and I hope she finds a man that is ready to go from 0 to 60 with her.”

Jason Biggs from American Pie fame has a wife who I told on twitter that I wanted to give her an abortion with my tongue after she wrote on twitter something along the lines of “my favorite part of The Bachelor is when the girls equate getting fingered for love”…and despite hating most things most people say…I kinda agreed with her….not that I’ve ever seen any of these shows, but the concept of putting one dude in a house with a bunch of catty women, fighting for his “love”, only for him to choose one he loves at the end of the season, who he will contractually stay with for one year, when really it is just a quest for these useless whores to get on TV, is pretty fucking pathetic and really reminds us just how fucking weird our world is….where fags can’t get married, but TV can make a mockery of marriage with retards and sluts fighting for camera time, while America eats the bullshit up….it must have some real negative repercussions on our morals and values…provided we even have any…cuz I know I don’t… Here’s one of the cunt in a bikini…..
