Roberto Martinez, Ali Fedotowsky Plan Spring Wedding

Posted on August 4, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

She’s no longer The Bachelorette after an emotional season finale, but if all goes according to plan, Ali Fedotowsky will soon go by another name: The Bride. Hunky Roberto Martinez popped the question Monday night on ABC, and is apparently serious about making the Massachusetts native his wife in short order. “In the spring, we’re thinking,” Ali said when asked about when she’d like to marry her new fiance, who she chose over the broken-hearted Chris Lambton . While their wedding will likely be a big event – “Her mom wants like 700 people,” Martinez said – the couple already extended an invitation to a VIP guest. We’re not talking about host-pimp Chris Harrison, either. Asked by Jimmy Kimmel if they’d invite President Obama, who was not invited to Chelsea Clinton‘s wedding , Fedotowsky replied, “Absolutely, if they’ll come.” We wouldn’t bank on that, but either way, it looks like a wedding actually taking place for these lovebirds is 20 times more likely than, say, Jake and Vienna. Spending five days together for every 10 days apart while the show aired, because of demands of the show, their relationship evolved out of necessity. “We played games,” Ali said of entertainment in sequestration. “We made up handshakes.” Roberto adds, “I learned how I’m supposed to eat popcorn.” So there you go. Ali and Roberto are still together. But will they make it to the altar? The show’s track record is not good, but the pair is not worried. “We have so much faith in our relationship,” says Fedotowsky. “Every day we tell each other, ‘You are my priority. We’re going to put each other first.’” Will Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez last?

The Bachelorette Recap: Roberto Martinez Leads the Pack, Kirk DeWindt Gets Stuffed

Posted on July 13, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

After last week, The Bachelorette had its work cut out for it. Not only were the stakes high for Ali with hometown dates looming, but the Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi clash made for riveting, must-see train wreck TV. The hometown dates themselves last night? They all went well. Like, really well. She picked some good guys (mostly). Awesome for Ali, a little boring for us. Still, there was plenty to like about the episode, and plenty of hometown drama for us to go over here in THG’s patented plus-minus rundown of events … Roberto Martinez. Baseball uniform. Shameless, ABC. Plus 7 . Minus 3 for the wasted potential of baseball/dating puns (second base? eh?), but Plus 5 for Ali toeing the line between girly and sporty perfectly. So cute. Who will win the heart of The Bachelorette, Ali Fedotowsky? The Bachelorette star? So what. Roberto Sr. wants to make sure Ali is good enough for his son. Plus 4 for him taking it to her, and for her handling it well. If Roberto is the favorite, Chris Lambton is a close second. Ali Fedotowsky does seem to be a perfect fit in Chris’ Cape Cod home. Bay State 4 life!! Plus 6 . Minus 5 for the slight overkill regarding Chris’ mom. Yes, it’s a big part of who he is, and he’s very sincere. It’s the producers who overdo this narrative. How much do you want to swap your own family for Chris’? Plus 8 . The Lambtons are so, so genuine … which ABC exploits with the bit about the mom “up there helping orchestrate all this”? It’s The Bachelorette!! Minus 7 . Kirk DeWindt’s date is the most awkward, as it involves two eccentric families and one taxidermist. But Plus 3 , because everyone’s really nice. It is Wisconsin. At elimination time, you knew it was coming down to Kirk or Frank. The women in Kirk’s life are salt-of-the-earth folks who clearly love Ali. The only problem is Kirk himself. Nice as he is, there’s just something missing. Minus 2 . “Sometimes love is a complicated thing.” – Frank Neuschaefer. Deep. How can this man not be a writer when contemplative musings like this flow so easily? Plus 5 . Frank really needs a new look. Not only are his glasses too small for his face, is that a cardigan over a wife-beater? He’s like Mr. Rogers meets The Situation. Minus 7 . On a similar note, the fancy dresses don’t work on Ali Fedotowsky. She can totally pull off anything, but more baseball jerseys, fewer pink flowery gowns! Minus 4 . Plus 6 for the grainy, dream-like flashback footage during host-pimp Chris Harrison’s fireside chat with Ali … makes Roberto and Chris look even more dreamy, no? Again, Frank. Is that a tux and a sweatshirt at the rose ceremony? Minus 3 . If The Bachelorette spoilers are to be believed, we know who’s in the final two. If the promos for next week are to be believed, Ali may be paying a second visit to Kirk’s father’s basement … to stuff Frank’s corpse in that freezer. Plus 8 . TOTAL: +13. SEASON: +143 . Roses : Roberto, Chris, Frank. Out : Kirk. Who should Ali Fedotowsky choose?

Should Casey James Be the Next Bachelor?

Posted on July 12, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

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 .

Jake Pavelka-Vienna Girardi Interview Takes Over The Bachelorette, Defies Comprehension

Posted on July 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Last night’s episode of The Bachelorette was essentially scaled back to an hour and 15 minutes to make room for the Jake Pavelka-Vienna Girardi smackdown. This left us with two thoughts: 1. This could easily be a one-hour show every week, and 2. This interview was likely the greatest 45 minutes in show history. There were so many ridiculous comments made and insults traded, The Hollywood Gossip has devoted a separate Bachelorette recap to their joint interview. Our traditional Bachelorette rundown will follow shortly. Now, for the blow-by-blow of the much-hyped reunion that followed the Breakup of the Century … Introducing the segment on a somber note, venerable host-pimp Chris Harrison pretends not to be ecstatic this fell in ABC’s lap. What a great job. Plus 8 . Jake comes out to tell “his side” first. Jerry Springer -esque. Minus 4 , if only because a screaming audience and/or chairs thrown would have enhanced this. Oh, if you have this on DVR, have one person do a shot every time she says “fame whore” and another take one every time he says “undermined.” Plus 10 . After Jake Pavelka says he was “blindsided” by the split, Vienna Girardi alleges “emotional abuse.” Hard to tell who’s lying more in the early going. Minus 3 . He seems genuinely surprised, even now, that Vienna is trashy and not that smart. Plus 4 , because 10 million viewers knew this on his season’s premiere. We’ve never been big fans, per se, but when Jake starts being all condescending about text messages, her family, her dog, etc., we feel bad for V. Minus 7 . Vienna, on Jake complaining that she remeasured their room: “I never picked up a tape measure. I never picked up a tape measure in my life.” Plus 12 . For whatever reason, they bleep out Gregory Michael’s name, even though Vienna’s alleged cheating with Gregory Michael was widely reported. Minus 18 . That story about Jake throwing the GPS into the back seat was pathetic and disturbing, but Minus only 5 , because you know how guys are about directions. Asked by Chris what they loved about each other, Jake says Vienna “challenged him.” Plus 14 , because he definitely just became ” the biggest fake liar ever.” Jake: “I believe there is more to relationships than sex and intimacy.” Like updating one’s Twitter and going on as many reality shows as possible. Minus 9 . Near tears and vehemently denying Jake’s accusations of her “flings with other men,” Vienna asks Chris if she can take a “poly-o-graph” test. Plus 1,000 . How the HELL does Chris keep a straight face? Plus 7 . When she interrupts Jake, in the midst of apologizing no less, he raises his hand in rage (not quite making a fist , but close) and berates her. Minus 250 . As she storms off in tears, Jake just shakes his head condescendingly. “There she goes again.” How would these two EVER work as a couple?! Minus 40 . Minus 200 more , because as entertaining as this was, these morons both need to go away forever now … and we have a strong suspicion they won’t. Wow. We always knew Jake was an uptight stiff, but we didn’t peg him for a misogynistic a$$hole. We can’t believe we’re saying this, but … Team Vienna? TOTAL: +524 . Whose side are you on?

Vienna Girardi to Jake Pavelka: You’re a Fake Liar!

Posted on July 2, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It was already a he said, she said battle for the ages, but find a hat, then hold the f*%k onto it, ’cause Vienna Girardi is really taking it to Jake Pavelka now. In a new clip from Monday’s episode of The Bachelorette, which will feature a joint interview with the formerly engaged close, she drops this bomb on him: “You are the biggest fake liar I’ve ever met in my entire life.” BAM. Talk about getting owned. But Jake, not to sit there and be humiliated, snaps back, “Who’s the guy you had on Saturday night at the apartment?” That would be Greek star Gregory Michael , whose name is bleeped out in the clip, and whose affair with Vienna was supposedly the last straw for Jake. Jake and Vienna in “happier” times. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com] On Good Morning America Friday, host-pimp Chris Harrison admits their first face-to-face encounter since their split was “definitely contentious.” In the first clip released yesterday, Girardi, a former Hooters waitress, defends herself for selling details about their love life to a tabloid, claiming she had to. “Jake felt really betrayed that she sold these very intimate stories,” Harrison adds. “That’s where it got heated. Jake really takes offense that he was sold out.” Among those stories he was so upset: That while we’ve all seen Vienna Girardi nude or close to it, Jake had no interest in hitting that for months on end!

Vienna Girardi vs. Jake Pavelka: The TV Showdown of the Century

Posted on July 1, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| 1 Comment

As their tumultuous and utterly predictable split continues to play out in public, Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi will discuss it Monday on The Bachelorette. The duo sat down with their former host-pimp Chris Harrison to talk about the split for the July 5 segment, and let’s just say it’s as ugly as it is contrived. A sneak peek of the interview reveals no big Bachelorette spoilers – just dueling accusations and blaming one another for the demise of a fake relationship. Asked why they made the breakup so public, Vienna said: “Either way, our relationship had been public. No matter how we broke up, this had to happen.” Right. There was no other option. “The world was going to want to know,” she said. “I know Jake and I knew as soon as we broke up he was going to run to a media outlet and tell his side. I just wanted to make sure I had a voice also. I haven’t had a voice this entire time.” Jake responds … well, presumably. The clip we have here doesn’t show that part, but he reportedly gets so pissed at her that makes a fist at Vienna at one point. Girardi’s accusations are consistent with what she’s been saying all along, though – that he’s a fame whore who misled her. Dude doesn’t even put out! There’s also the rumor that Jake isn’t into girls , but we’ll leave that alone for now. Follow the jump for a sneak preview of the couple on The Bachelorette …

Stars Choose Sides: Team Edward or Team Jacob?

Posted on July 1, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Team Edward or Team Jacob? It’s no longer a question reserved for Twihards, or pop culture followers in general. Supreme Court Justice nominee Elena Kagan was actually asked which side she’s on during confirmation hearings this week. But forget future judges. On which end of this debate do Jersey Shore stars and country singers fall? A handful of celebrities were asked to pledge their allegiance to Edward or Jacob this week and replied with the following: Snooki : I’m Team Edward just because he’s very sexy, but then again, I’m Team Jacob because he has potential guido status. The Situation : I don’t think I’m on any team on that one because I like women. But on the other hand, I am fans of them both, I think they’re both great actors. Julianne Hough : I’m in love with Edward. Martina McBride : Well, Edward’s really cute, I think he’s very romantic, but I think probably Jacob is a healthier relationship. He seems to care. He’s not as obsessive. It’s a little more well-rounded. Brooklyn Decker : I’m Team Bella. I’m always rooting for her. I think she’s the atypical heroine, and a lot of people relate to that. Cheyenne Kimball : I’m totally Team Edward. I used to read the books when I was 17, and I wanted so badly to meet a vampire named Edward and fall in love. Rachel Reinart : I’m Team Vampire Diaries . I don’t watch Twilight. I have a huge crush on both of the dudes. They’re hot. Serena Williams : I’m obsessed with Robert Pattinson. Interesting. But enough from these celebs. Let’s hear from THG readers. Which team are YOU on?

Ali Fedotowsky: Engaged (According to Tabloid)!

Posted on July 1, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky may have hinted that she ends up alone after this season, but could she just be playing it coy? That’s Us Weekly ‘s theory. The celebrity gossip publication “confirms” (term used very loosely) there’s a proposal on the season finale – and the gorgeous Massachusetts native accepts! For all we know, it’s a proposal by Chris Harrison to join him for a glass of water during a five-minute break from filming – but congratulations in any case! “She’s already thinking about the details,” a source says – and she’s SO excited! “She did the show because she was ready to settle down and get married.” Us claims the former Facebook ad rep is planning a West Coast wedding in early 2011. Who’s the lucky guy? The anonymous sources aren’t saying, natch. Is Ali Fedotowsky really engaged – and to whom? Unlike that stiff Jake Pavelka, who gushed about being engaged throughout the season, Ali’s remarks have been of the “I’m happy with my decision” variety. Some believe that’s code for “I’m still single.” Reports that Ali Fedotowsky is already dating some other guy ( Patrick Hammon ) also cast doubt on any Bachelorette engagement stories, don’t you think? We’re obviously not in the know as far as the specifics, but our gut reaction is to call BS on this story. There are only vague details and no sourced quotes. For more on who Ali chooses, check out The Bachelorette spoilers … but don’t say we didn’t warn you, these are serious giveaways, read at your own risk.

Vienna Girardi: Jake is a Fame-Obsessed Liar!

Posted on June 30, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi’s emotionally-charged reunion is still days away from hitting the small screen on The Bachelorette, and it’s already ugly. Taped last Thursday, the former couple’s combative, instantly infamous joint interview is set to air July 5, and some new, heated details have emerged. According to a new ABC press release, Vienna Girardi and Jake Pavelka acknowledge that their romance is unfixable, and proceed to exchange insults. Bachelor host-pimp Chris Harrison can only look on in awe. The Jake and Vienna Circus rolls on. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com] The gist: Girardi tells Jake Pavelka he’s a “liar” and a “fame whore,” while Pavelka says she’s jealous and undermines him. The Bachelor stars argue about who initiated the breakup, and Girardi denies she cheated with Gregory Michael. At one point, the airhead Floridian bursts into tears and stomps off the set, while reports from witnesses say that an enraged Jake makes a fist at her. Another insider who observed the confrontation told Us Weekly that Pavelka “couldn’t get a word out – it was very reflective of their relationship .” Mediator Harrison often had to tell Girardi, “Vienna, let him talk.” But “Vienna was on the defense,” a source adds. “She was trying to play victim.” As we see it, we’re the true victims in all of this.

The Bachelorette Recap: Most. Dramatic. Episode. Ever.

Posted on June 29, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

As soon as Ali Fedotowsky declared in the opening moments that she has never felt better, you knew The Bachelorette was going to be good. But not this good. Not even the spoilers we’ve known all season long could have prepared us for the unspeakable awesomeness that was the ABC show’s outing of Justin Rego . According to reports, it wasn’t even faked. Rated R was legitimately busted, undone by his two-timing ways in Canada, a scandal dumped in producers’ laps. It was classic. Obviously, you can’t help but wonder what was re-edited, re-shot or flat-out contrived, but does it really matter? This is reality TV entertainment at its best. The rest of the episode was pretty dull, but that can be forgiven, thanks to the opening sequences? THG breaks down all the action below in its +/- index … RATED R FOR REJECTED : Ali sent Justin packing. In Turkey, venerable Bachelorette host Chris Harrison is the bearer of bad news for Ali Fedotowsky . Plus 9 , because as a pimp, you gotta protect your employees. Ali’s friend and former co-star on Jake Pavelka’s season, Jessie Sudilis, NEEDS to speak to her now. Minus 3 , though, ’cause it takes 50 rings for her to answer. Somehow, Jessie knows Justin Rego’s girlfriend, Jessica Spillas, who just found out Justin was cheating on HER with Kimberly Kerekes. Plus 5 . Nice, Rated R. After a loooong phone call, we learn from Jessie that Justin only went on The Bachelorette for publicity. Minus 7 because we don’t buy Ali’s “stunned” face. Plus 3 for the documentary-style filming, (relatively) unedited and without music, and Plus 6 more for Chris busting out an iPhone pic of Justin and Jessica. Minus 1 for the fact that Jessie is gona be on Bachelor Pad , and Minus 5 for the time-honored, scripted line: “I know he’s not there for the right reasons.” Ali calls Justin out publicly, asking if he misses his girlfriend in Canada. Plus 10 . He reacts how any upstanding guy would … he makes a run for it! Plus 17 . TAKIN’ CARE OF BUSINESS : Host-pimp Chris makes the call. It only gets better as Ali gives chase and Justin escapes, only to come limping back later. He tries to talk his way out of it, but he’s a really bad liar. Minus 9 . Justin hobbles off, presumably stranded in a Turkish bazaar. Plus 7 . As he does so, messages he left Jessica while he was on the show are played. Plus 12 . Finally, we move on to Ty’s date with Ali in a Turkish bathhouse, one of many reasons this was the most homoerotic episode of The Bachelorette ever. Even . Ty talks about his divorce, Tenley Molzahn style, and we know this is supposed to be a powerful moment and all, but Minus 4 , because it just can’t compare. On the group date, Kirk, Chris, Roberto and Craig wrestle random Turkish dudes, then each other, while covered in olive oil. See two sentences above. Plus 6 . Craig prevails, but Chris L. is the true winner with his good looks and hilarious comments. Will he get engaged to Ali (see The Bachelorette spoilers )? Plus 7 . On Craig’s date, he falls so hard into the friend zone, his fate is sealed. Minus 4 . Contrast that with Frank’s date, in which they’re all over each other. Plus 4 . Oh, Plus 5 for Ali’s belly-dancing outfit. They had to throw us guys something. TOTAL: +58 . SEASON: +159 . Roses : Ty and Frank (earlier dates), Roberto, Chris and Kirk. Out : Justin (abandoned in Istanbul) and Craig (friend zone).
