Kasey Kahl, a Z-list reality star best known for his stints in The Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad and Vienna Girardi, was arrested for being drunk and disorderly. $h!t went down at a club in Fresno, Calif. Way to go man. Law enforcement sources say Kahl was allegedly involved in an incident at a place called Club Habanos. So far, it’s unclear what Kahl is accused of doing wrong. He was definitely arrested though. Thanks to TMZ, we have this lovely photo, a new (and abnormally happy) addition to our celebrity mug shot gallery : Kahl was booked at a nearby police station and released a few hours after this classic mugshot. Things couldn’t have been too bad if he’s smiling like that. He just finished taping the inaugural season of VH1’s upcoming Relationship Rehab with – you guessed it – former life partner/soulmate Vienna Girardi . This is the last you’ll hear of either of them until that show premieres … probably. They’re like bad pennies the way they always turn up somewhere.
The women of The Bachelorette? Not unattractive. With a new season of The Bachelor underway, it’s only fitting, sort of, that three well-known cast members who went on to dole out the roses themselves cover In Touch Weekly, baring their bikini bodies and sharing their weight loss plans and tips. Okay, it makes no sense. But who’s complaining? Ashley Hebert , who dispatched current Bachelor Ben Flajnik last summer, is prepping for her wedding to JP Rosenbaum with a low-carb diet. Sounds amazing. Ali Fedotowsky, now single and ready to mingle after calling off her engagement to Roberto Martinez, is targeting thigh and butt jiggle. It looks well targeted. Trista Sutter, the standard bearer for successful relationships spawned by a nonsensical reality show, still looks amazing – yet is contemplating a boob job. Not that she needs it and not that you can believe anything you read in In Touch , but that’s all we’ve got for now. Just sit back and enjoy the bikini photos.

Bachelor train wreck Vienna Girardi ripped off her microphone and walked off the set of Relationship Rehab last week after producers shocked her by having her ex show up . No, not Jake Pavelka, though that would’ve done the trick too. Vienna and boyfriend Kasey Kahl, her Bachelor Pad partner in crime and the second half of the world’s douchiest couple were hammering out their issues on the show. Of course they were. But, things got awkward on Relationship Rehab (a new show debuting soon on VH1) when she was blindsided by the arrival of … Lee Smith . For those who don’t keep tabs on Vienna Girardi – we’re actually jealous of you – Lee dated V before she went on The Bachelor and got engaged to Pavelka. Lee is also the guy she was allegedly sending flirty emails to – and exchanging bodily fluids with, according to him – while she was still engaged to Pavelka. In any case, it got ugly last week. Vienna had an emotional breakdown and walked off the show, screaming at producers that she “hates” them. Ouch!! She hasn’t been back since and the show has finished shooting. It’s unclear if she violated her contract by ditching the show early, or if anyone cares, but you have to love that Vienna was surprised by such a move. She’s not smart.
On the last episode of “Love & Hip Hop,” Teairra Mari coaxed girlfriend Emily B, into going on a “social date” with her and some colleagues. Unbeknownst to Emily, she was really being thrown into a blind date with Jeris Higgins. The 28 year-old, Video Editor admits that he is looking for a woman with a New York swag with a southern lady’s hospitality. Some may feel that Jeris was “played” by Emily B. but he sees it as loyalty and respects Em for being a down chick! “She was really giving me a hard time, I was just trying to converse a little,” says the bachelor before acknowledging her “cake.” Just like Emily, Jeris seeks the love from a counterpart which he hasn’t found yet. Traits you look for in a woman: I love to laugh, so a sense of humor. You have to be able to laugh with me. I love long hair, not that I don’t like short hair. Any skin color is fine with me. Family orientated, I’m from the south so that is very important to me. How she gets along with her mother is a big thing. If you don’t get a long with your mother that tells me a lot. If you’re cute, funny and love your family then we can date! What will you bring to a relationship? I’m offering 100 percent truthfulness. You never have to worry about the next chick, cause if there is one I will tell you. I bring confidence to that person. I love building a woman up, that’s what a relationship is about. I want her to learn stuff from me. I also bring my southern hospitality. They say chivalry is dead but I open doors… I make you feel like a lady! Your occupation? I’m known as Jeris from “Love & Hip Hop” now, I need people to know that I’ve been in this business for 10 years–editing and directing. I’m out here really doing my thing. Ironically one of the first videos I worked on as a Production Assistant, nine years ago was Fabolous’ first video. The one on the train…his first video was my first video. The perfect date: If money was no issue…we would wake up, go go-Kart racing, or something crazy like sky-diving. I would take you and have drinks and ask you one thing you would love to do, because it’s all about having fun. I’d ask what she wants, or what she hasn’t done and that’s what we are going to do! Other Specs: Jeris has no children and wants to be married before he has any! Hit him up ladies… Follow Jeris on Twitter @ JayMegga Emily B: “Adrienne Bailon & Fab Are Just Friends” Emily B. Shows Off Her Massive Louboutin Collection For Pynk Mag!
After Brad Womack famously selected no one in his first stint as The Bachelor , the Texas bar owner was brought back for a second go-around last winter. He got engaged to Emily Maynard, but that fizzled out before long. Now it’s Emily being sought by ABC to return for another stint on the reality franchise. In fact, the network has already asked her to be The Bachelorette, sources say, and despite her earlier lack of interest, “It’s basically a done deal.” Wow. Another source close to Emily Maynard , the single mom of six-year-old Ricki, tells Life & Style that while “she hasn’t signed the contract yet, she’s fully on board.” Since splitting with Brad in May after becoming engaged to him on The Bachelor season finale, the North Carolina product has been linked to various men. Jeremy Shockey of the NFL’s Carolina Panthers and Most Eligible Dallas cast member Matt Nordgren come to mind, though she has denied seriously dating either. Perhaps the allure of being The Bachelorette grew on her. “Emily is America’s sweetheart,” adds the source. “Fans will be thrilled! Everyone loved her.” True. If Emily doesn’t pan out, look for a castoff from Ben Flajnik’s season to fill the role ( The Bachelor spoilers we’ve read single out a few prospects). What do you think: Should Emily Maynard be The Bachelorette?
Critics weren’t wowed by director Guy Ritchie’s 2009 original, and this time around is no different. By Kevin P. Sullivan Robert Downey Jr. in “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows” Robert Downey Jr. ‘s steampunk take on the classic literary detective returns for a new mystery in “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.” The first film from 2009 didn’t exactly wow the critics, and the sequel is no exception. The mixed response ranges from “better than the first” to “one of the worst of the year,” but the chemistry between Downey and Jude Law earned the critics’ highest complements. We’ve rounded up some of the best reviews to give you a sense what the critics are saying: The Story “As the film opens, Watson is paying a visit to his occasional partner in solving crimes. His wedding to Mary (Kelly Reilly) is fast approaching and Holmes is to be his best man. The intrigues begin in earnest with the bachelor party Holmes throws at an eccentric gentleman’s club, in which none of Dr. Watson’s pals show up but two new characters do — a very wry Stephen Fry as Holmes’ brother, Mycroft, and a Gypsy fortuneteller Madam Simza Heron, played by Noomi Rapace. Holmes has had a chance encounter (or was it) with the lovely Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams) who seemed clearly over her head in something that involves Professor James Moriarty (Jared Harris, the age-old nemesis, but newly arrived to the films and as dapper as he is in ‘Mad Men’).” — Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times Robert Downey Jr. “Really, if [director Guy] Ritchie were on the case, even a little bit, how could he not notice Robert Downey Jr. giving the worst performance of his career? This is a director of some stature. He could talk to his star and help him. Here is an actor capable of dazzling audiences with his virtuosity, and yet there he is, slack and flat, phoning it in with a blithe delivery and his accent going in and out. Downey knows — of course he knows — that he could sleepwalk through the movie, and it will still be a hit.” — Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle The Direction “Ritchie has done it again. In an act of criminal negligence, he’s wasted Robert Downey Jr. — an actor with the perfect verbal dexterity to play Sherlock Holmes — in a sequel that eliminates smarts in favor of relentless headbanging. 2009’s ‘Sherlock Holmes’ was lousy, but it was also a big hit. So the sequel, ‘A Game of Shadows,’ is more of the stupid same. It wouldn’t matter so much if Downey and Jude Law, as the bromantic Dr. Watson, didn’t look so ready to turn on the cerebral dazzle. Instead, Ritchie treats them like action goons out of his ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ basement.” — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone As a Sequel “After Guy Ritchie’s ‘Sherlock Holmes’ (2009) with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law grossed something like half a billion dollars, this was no time to rethink the approach. What they have done, however, is add a degree of refinement and invention, and I enjoyed this one more than the earlier film.” — Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times The Final Word “It’s elementary. If you enjoyed the first ‘Sherlock Holmes’ directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law as Holmes and Watson, then you’ll likely leave the sequel feeling satiated.” — Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune Check out everything we’ve got on “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
Jesse Csincsak, former winner of The Bachelorette, is speaking out about the new lawsuit against Reality Steve , whose Bachelor spoilers have roiled producers for years. Csincsak says the real culprit in all of this is the show’s head honcho, Mike Fleiss, who he claims ruins people’s lives for a living, yet can’t take what he dishes out. The ex-fiance of DeAnna Pappas doesn’t understand capital letters, or know how to spell the names of certain toppled global despots, but he has strong feelings on the topic. Excerpts from his unintentionally hilarious blog post appear below: “Mike Fleiss Production Company Next Entertainment came to me just over a year ago and offered me 30k to find out who Reality Steves Leak was ?” “The problem is that they have hundreds of people who see the tapes in editing so nailing it down would be a tuff one so of course I was unable to cash in.” “Mike Fleiss is the steel fist of hollywood he makes everyone sign a 20 page contract signing away there lives and is the only Production company that doesnt pay his talent.” “He wants to be feared because he thinks that will solve his problems but what he doesnt understand is PIGS GET SLAUGHTERED look at every tuff guy in the history of the world … what happened to them ?????? Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, Sadam husane once you piss off enough people someone will eventually take you out of the game !!” “Fleiss you cant contunue to USE PEOPLE & push people around YOUR day is coming its only a matter of time !!” “As for reality steve he should stick to his day job he knows nothing about the actual bachelor show except what his Source leaks to him yet he calls himself an expert ??” “it would kinda be like me writing a blog about barbie dolls and calling myself an expert when in reality I have a friend who work for a barbie doll company feeding me intel…” “hope it was worth it steve enjoy your Tango with the devil and his mob !!” “I Think this Lawsuit is a perfect case of ADULT BULLYING !! Reality Steve has no contract with mike or ABC this is simply a SCARE TACTIC on mikes behalf to scare past & future contestants from talking about how he bullys people.” “Notice Chris Harrison has a new hosting gig with that game show !! “Congrats Chris your the man but could that be a sign that the bachelor franchise could be coming to an end ?? Are you running out of Fresh Ideas Mike ?? Eveyone Noticed you stole the Bachelor Pad Hanging Game from the Big Brother Franchise.” “all i am saying is cut the crap if you wanna dish it out VIA the Editing then be a MAN and take the haters like all of your contestants have to after being on your show. STOP HIDING BEHIND THE MONEY AND OWN UP TO WHAT YOUR DOING TO PEOPLE…” “I am only saying what everyone else thinks LATERZ I AM OUT !” THG NOTE : Get out while you still can, Ben Flajnik .
