Marissa Mayer is leaving Google for its major competitor. One of the top players at the top search engine on the planet, Mayer was named chief executive of Yahoo today, instantly bumping her way up on the corporate America food chain and making her possibly the most prominent woman in Silicon Valley. She had been listed as employee number-20 at Google. An engineer by trade, Mayer was considered responsible for many of Google’s best-known features, from its simple homepage design to Gmail to Google News and Images. Her appointment as the President of Yahoo is considered a significant get for a company trying to compete with Google and Facebook. She begins her new gig tomorrow. Referring to Yahoo as “one of the best brands on the Internet,” Mayer showed appreciation for her time at Google but told The New York Times in an interview: “It was a reasonably easy decision.”
Tonight the men spill the secrets of this season of The Bachelorette and single mom, Emily Maynard. They’ll talk douchebaggery and heartbreak. There might even be man tears. But will they spill the biggest secret of all? That is, will they spoil which man won Emily’s heart ? Well, no. Probably not. Oh well. The big teases. Chris Harrison, a.k.a. Mr. Hostman, (get it? Mr. Hostman? Mr. Postman? Bring me a dream …okay, I’ll stop.) reminds us that the finale will be Sunday and Arie and Jef will be absent from tonight’s tell-all. But we’ll get plenty of Kalon and Ryan. Joy. Before we meet the men, Chris and Emily dish on the season. They start out rehashing Ryan’s fantastic first date and following it up with every awful thing he said all season. I had such high hopes for him in the beginning. And then his ego got bigger than his heart. Minus 7. And then we get a recap of Kalon and Emily’s “West Virginia Hood Rat” send-off. He was absolutely horrifying. Minus 4 for not getting rid of him sooner. Oh, Doug. Poor Doug. And that awful, awful excuse for a kiss. What, is he 12? Minus 2 . Emily has quite the potty mouth, judging by the outtake from her date with Joe. And Travis kept Shelly the Egg in a bed. He even asked her to sing “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” To the egg. And she didn’t send him home immediately? Minus 8 . Arie’s two younger brothers were peering through the bushes while they made out. Plus 12 . If you want to know why Chris finally went home, look no further than his lack of moves. Dance moves. Oh look! ABC’s plugging the upcoming Bachelor Pad with the one and only Kalon McMahon. And Chris. And was that Single Dad Tony I saw? Finally, Chris calls the guys and their spray tans to the stage! Seriously, the gym, tan, laundry that took place before this reunion show must have been epic. Minus 2 Sean’s the first one to call Emily a goddess. And it only takes about two seconds for John “Wolf” to rip on Kalon for his helicopter entrance. Chris Harrison says that any time you have 25 guys and one hot blonde together, you’ll get “drama, jealousy, and a little bit of crazy.” It’s clear they didn’t like Kalon from the get-go, thought Doug was the House Dad, and thought Ryan was cocky. Plus 12 . Chris says he was immature because he loved Emily so much. All of his man tears were from the heart. Minus 6. He’s still all offended by the talk that 25 year olds weren’t old enough for Emily. The older guys still think he was being ridiculous. Kalon’s convinced his helicopter entrance was completely cool. The guys all call him on it. He says he wasn’t himself after a few weeks and neither was anyone else. Charlie checks him and says he was upset that Kalon stuck around longer than he did because he was himself 100% of the time. Points to Charlie. Plus 8. Apparently, the guys should’ve just found Kalon confident and not narcissistic. Oh, and he’s really good friends with Chris and Tony now that they’ve all done Bachelor Pad together. How…nice? Kalon’s in the hot seat with Chris Harrison. (Does that sound like a late-night talk show or what?) In the recap reel of Kalon’s time on the show, it’s amazing how big of an a$$hole he was. Amazing. Kalon and Chris clarify that he didn’t know that single mom Emily was the bachelorette when they signed up and he felt like backing out after learning that would’ve said more about him than going forward with it. Chris point blank asks Kalon if Kalon thought he was rude to Emily in London. Kalon says “obviously it’s a very unique scenario and some people thrive and some people don’t.” Kalon, THAT IS NOT AN ANSWER. Minus 30. The guys just do not like him. That’s clear. Ryan’s the most spray-tanned of them all tonight and he’s in Chris’ hot seat next. Ryan says he’s confident in himself and that’s part of his success in life. Chris is shaking his head. He clearly disagrees. I disagree with how much bronzer Ryan’s wearing. Minus 12 . Chris asks Chris to clarify why he was shaking his head and Ryan just keeps interrupting him, mostly just to get under Chris’ skin. Chris Harrison asks “Is there a chance that you might just be an arrogant ass?” Ryan’s answer? “No.” Minus 15 . Ryan interrupts contestant Chris a couple more times and then Host Chris lets everyone know that Ryan will not be the next Bachelor. Thank Cheez-Its. Plus 10. Contestant Chris hits the floor. Host Chris reminds us all that this young whippersnapper was the first to say he was falling in love with Emily. He looks grumpy watching through his recap. I guess all those ladies on Bachelor Pad were just rebounds. Minus 3 . And the man tears are on the verge of flowing. Minus 13 . It seems that no one can understand why Sean didn’t make it to the final two. So he’s in the hot seat next. Poor guy. He still has feelings for Emily and never thought she’d send him home. He was ready to be a dad. I feel pretty awful for the dude. They would’ve made some pretty blonde-headed babies together. Oh look! Emily’s here! Tony has to hug her. She better go wipe off those Bachelor Pad cooties. This is the first time she’s seen any of the guys since they were cut. She did the ugly cry when she watched the episode where she had to let Sean go. Then she says “What girl wouldn’t want Sean?” Well, you wouldn’t Emily. Minus 13. Chris repeats everything Sean said, nearly verbatim. Apparently Emily’s really good at opening men’s eyes. Emily addresses the awkward kiss with Doug and then thanks him for reporting on Kalon’s shady behavior. Without him, she could’ve ended up engaged to Kalon! After Kalon spouts off something that was supposed to be an apology, she says he should become a politician. Because he’s really good at bulls******g. Plus 12 Emily! Kalon quips that he wouldn’t have her vote. And we all (did not) guffaw. Chris H. asks Emily about Ryan. They had fun together, but their values just didn’t line up. They seem amicable. Plus 4. The blooper reel reveals more of Emily’s potty mouth. And apparently she likes men who are tattooed and look slightly homeless. The tally so far: EPISODE TOTAL: -57 SEASON TOTAL: +114 Sunday night we’ll find out whether Emily will choose to spend the rest of her 15 minutes of fame life with Arie Luyendyk Jr. or Jef Holm. Which bachelor should Emily choose?
As the Emily Maynard rumor mill turns … According to a tabloid report, The Bachelorette star herself was shot down on the finale by one of her two remaining hopefuls, Arie Luyendyk, Jr. and Jef Holm. If that’s true, which we doubt, it would make her choice a lot easier! In Touch “reveals” (i.e. fabricates) today that the man who proposes to Emily Maynard on the season finale Sunday, July 22, was not her first choice. “He won by default,” an insider spills . Supposedly. The man who captured Emily’s heart rejected her at the penultimate hour, according to the insider, in an emotional scene filmed for The Bachelorette season finale. Emily was enjoying a date with one of her final two candidates – read The Bachelorette spoilers to see who wins – when he got a sudden case of cold feet. “He said, ‘I don’t think we know each other nearly enough to even be entertaining this; I don’t think we should get engaged,’” says the insider. “She was crying and begging him to reconsider,” says the insider, who says the single mom even blurted out, “You’re the one I want to pick!” This bombshell revelation, which would run contrary to everything he’s said so far, is allegedly followed by her dream man walking off for good. Whether viewers will get to watch this shocking twist play out on air is still uncertain – convenient, as this story may be BS. Also convenient? Despite being ditched by her dream man in stunning fashion, Emily is now happily engaged and living with the other finalist this season. Whatever works … for her and good celebrity gossip . Regardless of whether any of this is true, who do you think is a better fit for her, Arie Luyendyk Jr. or Jef Holm ? Vote in THG’s poll below!
As the season’s dramatic climax approaches rapidly, The Bachelorette star Emily Maynard is the topic of more rumors than we can even keep track of. One day, she’s “madly in love” with host Chris Harrison … then “dissing” him and won’t give him her phone number! And she may be back with Brad. Oh, and she’s the “biggest diva of all time” according to so-called insiders. Can we believe any of this? Or even The Bachelorette spoilers re: the finale? According to sources close to The Bachelorette, Emily and Chris are “good friends” and reports of any romantic entanglement are “100 percent false.” In Monday’s “Men Tell All” special, Chris and Emily will reportedly joke around about all the ridiculous celebrity gossip reports about their relationship. As for reports of her being a diva during production, those have been more widespread throughout the year, and at least somewhat more believable. Still, a source says, “Emily is very sweet and stories of her being a diva are ridiculous! Our crew loved her more than anybody we’ve had, seriously.” Insiders insist Emily was nothing but sweetness and sugar all season, despite reports in tabloids labeling her the ABC show’s “biggest diva of all time.” So basically, don’t believe the hype … or if you do, take it with a boulder of salt. As for the finale, who should she pick , Arie Luyendyk or Jef Holm ?
Here’s a rumor everyone could’ve seen coming after Monday night. After Sean Lowe’s surprising elimination from The Bachelorette , the insurance agent and former Texas A&M football player, 28, is already in discussions to be the next Bachelor, according to Hollywood Life and other sources. “Sean was approached by ABC to be The Bachelor,” says an insider.

We hope you’re sitting down for this breaking celebrity news , THG readers: Miley Cyrus has a new tattoo on her arm. Of a Theodore Roosevelt quote, obviously. While heading out of a West Hollywood Pilates class on Tuesday, Cyrus sported her new ink, quoting “Citizenship in a Republic” by the former U.S. president. The excerpt from the 1910 speech on Miles’ forearm reads: “So that his place shall never be with those cold, timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.” No word if the Miley Cyrus tattoo man plans on adding similar ink in honor his young idol, but Miley isn’t alone in finding inspiration in Teddy’s words. That particular speech of Roosevelt’s moved both Richard Nixon and Nelson Mandela, who quoted from it during pivotal moments in their own careers. Nixon referenced it during his resignation, while Mandela used it to inspire South Africa’s rugby team to beat New Zealand at the historic ’95 World Cup. Miley, meanwhile, will presumably use it at some point to send a stirring Tweet to her fans. She has not done so yet, amazingly … give it 45 minutes. What do you think of Miley Cyrus’ new tattoo?

Sean Lowe says he was absolutely crushed by his elimination on The Bachelorette Monday night, and was totally planning to propose to Emily Maynard. In one of the most heartbreaking eliminations in show history, Emily gave Jef Holm and Arie Luyendyk Jr. roses and said goodbye to a devastated Sean. “I’m not sure what to say,” a teary Sean told her. “I feel kind of stupid. Only because I knew with certainty that I was ready to spend forever with you.” “I just didn’t see this coming… obviously. I think you should know it’s going to hurt me,” he added as Emily Maynard broke down in tears, once again.
