Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez: Still Together, Possibly Cast on Dancing With the Stars!

Following their somewhat surprising engagement Monday on The Bachelorette season finale and their emotional After the Final Rose reunion, we can happily report that yes, Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez are still together. We may not have seen the last of them on ABC, either. Amid recent breakups of Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski, and more scandalously Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi, the idea of Ali Fedotowsky and her man making it to the altar will obviously have skeptics. But they’re off to a good start. Roberto hasn’t slept with half of Chicago during his sequestration period like Ed, nor is he insane, controlling and altogether phony like Jake. As for Ali and Vienna … we don’t have to explain. Ali and Roberto are moving to San Diego and planning a Spring 2011 wedding! The two certainly appeared happy and overjoyed to be reunited in their appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live and Good Morning America last night and today. Will we soon see them on ABC’s other hit reality series? The new cast of Dancing with the Stars will be unveiled August 30 during (what else) Bachelor Pad . According to reports, both Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez have been asked to be on DWTS , a la Jake. We suspect one or more will accept that offer. As for the next Bachelor , what we’re hearing is that last night’s runner-up, Chris Lambton, can have the gig if he wants it. Not a surprise there in the least. With his classy exit on Monday’s Bachelorette finale , and having already cemented his place as a major fan favorite, it’s the IDEAL setup for The Bachelor . The question is whether he does it. Unlike Jake, poor Chris seems very genuine and does not seem hell bent on becoming famous. So will see … and hope! As for Ali and Roberto: Will they last? Vote below!

Vienna Girardi Does Vegas, Promotes Team Vienna

What happened to that stuff about moving home to Florida? Looks like Vienna Girardi isn’t missing Jake Pavelka very much, nor does she have any intention of laying low or letting her 15 minutes of fame expire. Last weekend, The Bachelor star headed to the Sin City with her friends to celebrate her single status after her sham engagement to Jake unraveled. Vienna hosted a Single & Fabulous party Saturday at Tao Beach, where she even tossed out Team Vienna tank tops and offered shots to partygoers. Hopefully she kept the drunken crying to a minimum. SINGLE AND FABULOUS : Well, at least the first part . Interestingly, her crew that night included Jesse Csincsak, who Deanna Pappas picked a few seasons ago on The Bachelorette and broke up with soon after. “He was just giving her advice,” a source says. Dude certainly knows what she’s going through, although only one of them can be frequently seen in MySpace pics wearing next to nothing on Spring Break. Later that night, Vienna and her posse continued partying over at Lavo, where she kindly offered free shots to all of the bachelorettes in the house. No word if she has been in contact with Lee Smith , the ex-boyfriend who says he was putting it to her while she was still engaged to Jake Pavelka.

Lee Smith: I Was Giving it to Vienna Girardi! While She Was Engaged to Jake Pavelka!

The Bachelor star Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi were not engaged for long, but long enough for the former Hooters girl to cheat on him with her ex-boyfriend. Or so Lee Smith claims, at least. Smith, whose sexy, misspelled emails to Vienna were leaked last week, says rekindled his physical relationship with Vienna 10 days before her split from Jake. Lee claims it began when she visited her Florida home because of her sick dog – an ugly topic between Jake and Vienna in their epic fight on The Bachelorette . “We were in my truck hooking up, her shirt was off and Jake just kept calling over and over again,” Lee told Radar Online in a hilarious, exclusive interview. Lee drove Vienna back to her car she came up with an excuse. He says that as he was in the process of trying to sex up Vienna in his truck, “she said, ‘I can’t just ignore his calls or he’ll freak out and call every minute.'” “She’s an amazing liar. She picked up the phone and started yawning and pretending she was sleeping,” Lee said of Jake’s final rose recipient. Diabolical. Smith says Vienna began calling him just one month after she got engaged on The Bachelor . “At first, she would just tell me she missed me,” Lee recalls. “Then she asked me to break up with my girlfriend because she couldn’t imagine me having sex with another woman” as she and Jake weren’t intimate . “She told me, ‘I couldn’t see myself having a child with anyone but you. And then I asked her how she could tell me this while she was engaged to someone else. And she told me, ‘It’s not going to work out. We don’t even have sex anymore.'” The relationship progressed and became sexual: “When Jake was out of town we had phone sex three nights in a row.” Lee said. “It was a lot of fun.” The undercover lovers were able to keep their relationship on the down low, but had a close call one day when Vienna was on an outing with Jake. “I called and she answered me on speaker phone and Jake suspiciously asked, ‘Who is this guy?’ And Vienna came up with a quick lie that I was just a friend calling because I was concerned about her best friend’s break-up.” Smith says he believed Vienna Girardi’s lies as much as Jake Pavelka, and genuinely wanted them to be back together once the stars broke up. “But now she has a life in L.A.,” he laments.

DeAnna Pappas to Ali Fedotowsky: Pick Roberto!

Three great guys remain after last night’s hometown dates, and The Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky faces tougher and tougher decisions every week. But former star DeAnna Pappas is totally on Team Roberto. “They have so much chemistry,” she says of Ali and Roberto Martinez , whose time in his native Tampa, Fla., featured a (literal) trip around the bases. “You can tell she really likes him,” DeAnna says. “When she gave him a hug and straddled him… He’s good looking and seems like the total package.” “His family was wonderful and [Ali] seemed comfortable.” Will the season end with an Ali Fedotowsky-Roberto Martinez engagement? “Ali is still a little standoffish with everyone,” DeAnna Pappas adds, noting that the star seems nervous. “But for Roberto, I think, she’s coming around. They’re holding hands more, she’s cuddling more, and the kisses seem more natural.” She also had high marks for Ali’s Cape Cod visit with Chris Lambton: “They had a nice little makeout session at the end. He climbs higher and higher in my book. I think the chemistry is growing, but at first it was hard to tell.” “At least on Chris’ part … I think he’s a great candidate for The Bachelor .” No arguments here. “As much as I like Chris L., I don’t think she chooses him in the end,” Pappas adds. “I think Chris is the safer choice, but she’s infatuated with Roberto.” As for the third man left standing, Frank Neuschaefer, DeAnna says run for it! “Frank is leading her on,” Pappas says. Where would she get that idea ? Who should Ali choose on The Bachelorette?

Should Casey James Be the Next Bachelor?

He came in third on season nine of American Idol . But Casey James might wanna finish first in the heart of a reality show contestant, he admits, recently expressing an interest in The Bachelor . After everyone’s favorite host/pimp, Chris Harrison, ran into James at a party last month, he told the singer that he’d perfect for the ABC series. Responded James to OK! Weekly : “I’ll try anything once. I’m always up for a new experience.” Plenty of room under these arms, ladies! James is busy with the American Idol tour right now, but you can imagine his reaction when pitched the idea of 25 women competing for his attention: “Oh, God, that sounds horrible!” he joked, adding: “Sign me up!” When Casey first auditioned for the Fox competition, Kara DioGuardi openly swooned over him and made James take off his shirt . He’s been considered a singing stud ever since. If James doesn’t take on the role, the next Bachelor will likely be one of Ali’s castoffs from this season: Chris, Roberto, Kirk or Frank .

Jon Bon Jovi: Living on a Prayer, Limping on a Stage

When the union went on strike, did Tommy give up? When tips at the diner were sparse, did Gina throw in her apron? No and no. Therefore, legendary rocker Jon Bon Jovi – inspired by the characters he created for the iconic single “Livin on a Prayer” – continued with his concert in New Jersey over the weekend, despite a serious leg injury sustained during the set. Said a spokesperson afterward: “Jon Bon Jovi sustained a torn calf muscle. [He] made light of the injury and went on to close the show… The band ended the night together, thanking the capacity hometown crowd, and assisting Jon off the stage.” The development won’t stop Bon Jovi from playing every stop of its tour this summer. Watch the injured lead singer in action below: Bon Jovi in Concert

DeAnna Pappas: Engaged to Stephen Stagliano, Planning Shotgun Wedding?

Former star of The Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas is not only engaged to Stephen Stagliano, a former contestant on the show, the pair are planning to wed soon. Like really soon. DeAnna and Stephen, who pined for Jillian Harris on her season The Bachelorette , were fixed up by his brother, Michael Stagliano, and his girlfriend Holly Durst. Holly was let go by Matt Grant when she was a contestant on The Bachelor , and also dated Jesse Csincsak, who got engaged to DeAnna on her season finale. We know, it’s really confusing. Bachelorette castoff Stephen Stagliano, left, is reportedly ready to marry DeAnna Pappas. She was previously engaged to Jesse Csincsak, but that didn’t last very long . As for DeAnna Pappas and Stephen Stagliano’s wedding, it’s supposedly imminent, although specifics aren’t exactly available, courtesy of anonymous sources. Take it with a grain of salt is all we’re saying. Hopefully, hosting her Lifetime series Get Married , where she offers wedding advice and tips to brides-to-be, will help prepare DeAnna for her own big day. Yes, DeAnna Pappas hosts a show about weddings, despite two failed attempts at marriage proposals on national TV … is this a great country or what?! The lovely D is currently back home in Georgia where plans for the quickie wedding “is all they’re talking about .” Congratulations if this is in any way true!

The 9 Most Scathing Critical Responses to LeBron James: The Decision

Scathing critiques aren’t just for M. Night Shyamalan anymore ! Regardless of whether or not you follow, like or frankly detest sports, ESPN’ s Thursday night special LeBron James: The Decision made for some pretty audacious television. Which is to say, audaciously terrible . If you always thought watching The Bachelor amounted to a bankruptcy of taste, at least that process has some trashy entertainment value going for it. The ritualistic, commodified probing of James — who announced his free-agency agreement with the Miami Heat — couldn’t have been more cynical or depressing if it tried. But don’t take my word for it. Let’s hear it from the rest of the diverse, aggrieved class that still can’t believe they just saw that.

Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski 2010

“Ed Swiderski and I are trying to find humor in all of this –- and there isn’t much -– but it’s bringing us closer,” Jillian Harris told us at the time. Is there something in The Bachelor water? Just two weeks after Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi announced they were separating, former Bachelorette star Jillian Harris and fiancé Ed Swiderski are taking a break, PEOPLE has learned. According to a source at ABC, the two “are taking some time apart to re-evaluate their relationship.” The couple

Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski Break Up

Another Bachelorette couple bites the dust – and one we thought had a shot. Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski, who got engaged on the previous season finale of The Bachelorette , have called off their engagement, according to reports. This leaves Trista and Ryan Sutter as the only Bachelorette couple still together, with Jason and Molly Mesnick the lone survivors from The Bachelor side. “I love him and I’m really sad, but I have to look out for me,” Jillian Harris said. “We’re both kind of resetting,” Swiderski added. “Jillian isn’t happy and I’m definitely sad about the whole thing, but we’ve got to work through some things.” Ed says that they will do so “on our own if we decide to move forward.” Jillian and Ed called it quits. Did you see that coming? We don’t expect this to turn into a public war of words like the split between Bachelor stars Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi . But it’s still a sad situation. Last August, reports swirled about Ed Swiderski juggling two girlfriends while wooing Harris on the show (and even slept with one after proposing to her). They seemed to be fine, as the couple mostly stayed out of the spotlight, then announced their wedding plans on this past season finale of The Bachelor . But recently, things apparently took a turn for the worse. “There’s bumps on the road, and we don’t always deal with them properly,” Harris said in an interview just last month. “Our life is not always perfect.” Sorry to hear it … but call us, Jill. You can do better. As for Ed, is it too late for him to rock those ’70s-style basketball shorts on Bachelor Pad?
