Ben Higgins to Colton and Cassie: Congrats on the Love Making!

So much for that temporary Bachelor brouhaha. A week-plus after hurling a bit of shade in the direction of Cassie Randolph for the way in which she destroyed the heart and soul of Colton Underwood when she rejected him on air… Ben Higgins has reached back out to the Celebrity Couple of the Moment. And this time he only has kind words to say about their romance. “Love isn’t simple but it’s worth it!” Higgins, who anchored The Bachelor on Season 20, Tweeted yesterday, adding: “Congrats @CassieRandolph and @colton!” Underwood reposted this nice message and Cassie responded directly. “Truth! Thank you! :),” she said in reply. Cassie and Colton really did go through quite the journey prior to settling down into a relationship on Tuesday night’s finale . Just eight days earlier, Randolph had broken up with Underwood because she simply have strong enough feelings to accept a proposal, which she assumed was maybe coming on the final episode. This tore Colton in a million tiny pieces because she was the one suitor with whom he had truly fallen in love. Prior to Underwood winning Cassie back over by explaining to her on the finale that he had sent the other finalists home and that he was fine with only dating for awhile, Higgins was critical of the way Randolph had behaved. “I think she should have did something different with Colton. It’s very clear that she was not into him,” Ben told Entertainment Tonight on March 6. He continued at that time: “And so as much as she maybe felt the pressure to still be there and just still try to make this work – you know, you have a lot of people counting on you and watching – I think all she wanted to tell him was, ‘You’re a great guy, you’ve proven to be a great guy, but I’m just not that into you and as a result, I need to leave.’” He concluded that Cassie made a mistake in leading Colton on: “It felt like she was kind of dancing around the subject, going, ‘This is too fast, this isn’t right for me, I just don’t know.’ She knew.” Indeed, Randolph stunned Colton when she chose to leave the series during their fantasy suite date. But the pair then reunited and is now talking about an engagement . The reality stars may have taken a roundabout way to arrive at this place, but the important thing is that they are here, right? “Whatever I write will never fully articulate the feelings I have for you. You are the most incredible person whom I have ever met, you have the kindest soul and the sweetest heart,” Colton wrote this week on Instagram, adding of the woman who he very likely banged : You changed my life for the better and made this year the best year of my life. I can’t wait for our adventures ahead… I have my best friend. I have my girlfriend. I have my future fiancé. I have my future wife. But most importantly I have you. Let’s do this thing they call life… together… forever. I love you. DO YOU THINK THESE TWO WILL GET MARRIED? And the Winner is? Yes! It’s true love! Click Here To Vote for YES! LOL! No!

Amanda Bynes: Friends Fear She Will DIE in Rehab

About two weeks ago, it was reported that Amanda Bynes was back in rehab following an unfortunate relapse. Fans had been so happy seeing the once-troubled star retake control of her life. Now, things may be worse than ever. Those who know her best worry that she is once again on the fast track to an early grave. RadarOnline reports that Amanda Bynes’ loved ones are afraid that her latest relapse may be her last — in the worst possible sense. “Amanda has put her body through so much,” the insider observes. Years ago, Amanda’s troubled behavior was coupled with extensive substancea buse. According to the source: “Everyone is terrified this latest slip-up may kill her!” For a number of complicated reasons, a relapse can be more dangerous than the original pattern of substance abuse. In a recently published interview, Amanda opened up about how early she began using drugs. Despite her innocent reputation as a Nickelodeon star, Amanda first dabbled in drugs when she was 16. “Even though everyone thought I was the ‘good girl,’” Amanda revealed. “I did smoke marijuana.” Marijuana is not generally a big deal — though it can be dangerous for those at risk for schizophrenia.  But Amanda added: “Later on it progressed to doing molly and ecstasy.” In 2013, Amanda went into rehab and vanished from the public eye for years. After her quiet return, however, she reportedly began a more recent stint in rehab. “Amanda can’t seem to handle the media spotlight,” an insider explained. “But,” the source said. “She can’t continue to abuse herself like this.” “She won’t survive it,” the insider solemnly predicted. “I’m really ashamed and embarrassed with the things I said,” Amanda said in her recent interview. Her I want Drake to murder my vagina tweet may have become a meme, but she never would have tweeted it if she’d been in her right mind. “I can’t turn back time but if I could, I would,” Amanda expressed. “And I’m so sorry to whoever I hurt,” she added. “And whoever I lied about because it truly eats away at me.” That is so heartbreaking. She truly was not in full control of her actions for that period of time in her life, but she feels such guilt over her behavior at that time. Amanda once had a promising acting career, but she did not waste her time out of the spotlight. She enrolled in school in late 2013. by 2018, Amanda had earned an Associate’s Degree in Merchandise Product Development. This is a woman determined to turn her life around, and spending four years sober was only part of that. We all hope that Amanda makes a full recovery from whatever is troubling her now, whether it’s truly a relapse or something else. (Rehab isn’t always for drugs, folks — and that is even true for addicts) She has brought so much joy to so many people. She has so much more to offer the world and we wish her the very best.

Joe Giudice: Free from Prison! Set to Be Deported!

From Jersey Joe to Italian Inmate, the transformation is nearly complete for Joe Giudice. Much to the chagrin of his four daughters. And the apparent delight of his really terrible wife. On Thursday morning, Joe Giudice was released from Allenwood Low Federal Correctional Institution in Pennsylvania after serving his time behind bars for his role in a bankruptcy scheme several years ago. The development was confirmed by his attorney, James Leonard Jr., via the following statement: “Mr. Giudice has finished serving his federal prison sentence and was transferred early this morning from the Bureau of Prisons to a facility in western Pennsylvania which houses immigration detainees. “His lawyers and his family are hopeful that justice will prevail and Mr. Guidice will return home to his wife and four daughters who love him and miss him.” This seems very unlikely to happen, however. Joe is currently in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). He’s set to be transferred to an immigration detention center, where he will await a ruling about his possible deportation to his native Italy. Back in October, a judge decreed that Joe had lost his right to remain in the United States because he committed a felony as a non-U.S. citizen. As difficult as it may to believe, Joe never bothered to become a citizen, despite having resided in America since his youth. His fate now rest in an appeal that has been filed by his legal team. “We are optimistic that once his appeal is heard, he will receive the appropriate relief and will be able to come home and remain there with his family,” the Giudice family lawyer said in a statement last week, concluding at this time: “They love him, they support him and they miss him tremendously.” This last part is true for Joe’s kids, at least. His daughters have made emotional pleas for their dad to remain in their native country… but Teresa hasn’t sounded quite as passionate. The couple has been married for 19 years, yet Teresa isn’t even considering the notion of moving to Italy with Joe. “I mean, unless my kids say, ‘Mommy, I want to move to Italy,'” she told Andy Cohen last week. She then elaborated, in rather cold fashion: “It’s like starting a whole new life. And they’ve been through so much already. So, I mean, I’m not doing a long-distance relationship. I’m just not doing it. I want somebody with me every day. “I know exactly what happens, I’m sure he’ll be with other women. It happens. We do the long-distance thing? It’s not going to work. I’ll be like, ‘Bye bye.'” Bye bye . Those are the harsh words Teresa has on the subject of leaving her husband, which has earned her the ire of some social media users and co-stars. There’s been chatter that Teresa has met with a divorce attorney already, along with Bravo producers as she pitches them a spinoff about her oh-so-challenging life as a new single mother. But those negotiations may need to be put on hold while Joe’s future is decided. He could remain in ICE custody for up to a year while his appeal process plays out.  “Joe isn’t going to go down without a fight and is going to appeal the decision,” a source told Us Weekly in October ahead of Giudice’s appeal filing. “This isn’t over, not by a long shot.” Which is really too bad. View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?! We feel for his four girls and all. But the elder Giudices brazenly broke the law and haven’t seem to have learned many lessons at all. They remain rich, spoiled and very entitled. We’re just about ready for them to be canceled from pop culture relevancy forever.

Meghan Markle: I’m Ready to Make Peace With My Dumb Sister!

Well, it looks like we’re just weeks away from the arrival of a new prince or princess. Yes, despite the fact that the royal family has managed to keep Meghan Markle’s due date under wraps, all signs indicate that the Duchess of Sussex has entered final preparation mode. In fact, it looks as though Meghan is now on maternity leave, having cleared her schedule of all royal engagements for the foreseeable future. And apparently, Meghan’s efforts to get ready for the big day go well beyond picking out a color scheme for the royal nursery. Insiders say Meg has been going to great lengths to bury the hatchet with some of the folks who have antagonized her during her first year as a royal. On Monday, Meghan made nice with Kate Middleton at a Commonwealth Day event. This, despite rumors that the duchesses have been locked in a bitter feud for the past several months. But Kate is small potatoes compared to Meghan’s most determined antagonists. No, we’re not talking about Piers Morgan, whose latest moronic hot take is that Meghan “ruined” Prince Harry by accepting his proposal and helping him become a better man. We’re referring to Meghan’s wicked half-sister, Samantha Markle, and her father, Thomas Markle, who’s either just as bad as Samantha or another victim of manipulative machinations. Whatever the case, it seems Meghan is eager to make peace with her two douchiest relatives before the baby arrives. “Meghan’s family is well aware that she has always been busy and have always supported her efforts in the past, despite it leaving her little time to spend with them,” a source close to the situation tells the Daily Mail. “Her royal duties have kept her incredibly busy and she takes her new responsibilities very seriously.” Yes, despite the fact that Meghan’s family is objectively awful , and Samantha has made it her express goal to humiliate and destroy her sister, the duchess has decided to be the bigger person and accept some of the blame for their beef. It’s that not a prime example of character befitting a royal, we don’t know what is. The insider goes on to say that Meghan believes (or at least pretends to believe) that the media is partly to blame for Samantha and Thomas’ actions, as the two of them crumbled under the pressure of global scrutiny. “Meghan understands the pressures of intense media scrutiny and she is saddened by what her family have had to endure,” the insider tells the Mail. (This justification doesn’t really hold up when you consider the extent to which Thomas and Samantha have courted media attention, but hey, Meg’s probably just saying what she needs to say to bring her family back together.) “She plans to extend an olive branch to the family and invite them to visit after the baby is born – her sister [Samantha] included,” the source says. “Meghan hopes and prays that the baby will bring her family back together.” Frankly, we’re of the opinion that Samantha doesn’t deserve a second chance, particularly as it seems she’s been engaging in this sort of petty, malicious behavior her entire life. But hey, maybe she’ll see the light and finally change her ways … at the age of 54. That happens, right? View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 19 Cruelest Things Her Own Family Has Said About the Duchess

Jussie Smollett Pleads Not Guilty to All Charges; Now What?!?

Jussie Smollett made a pair of returns this week. First, the actor appeared on Empire Wednesday night for the first time since he was arrested and charged with multiple felonies. (The Fox drama had been on hiatus since December 5 and Smollett claimed he got attacked on January 29.) Social media blew up during the installment, with fans in near universal agreement that they couldn’t really concentrate on any storyline when one of the show’s leads was strongly suspected of orchestrating an assault against himself . And then blaming in on white racist homophobes. And lying repeatedly about it at every turn. “Good Lord, SO much has happened since [Empire] was on the last time…I think we ALL know what that is!!!!” wrote one viewer on Twitter, while another simply added a series of emojis hinting at the Smollett-sized elephant in the room. “When Cookie asked if Jamal forgot his last name was Lyon….that script didnt age well,” another loyal fan remarked. At this point, of course, the real drama surrounding Smollett takes place off screen. During a brief hearing before Cook County Circuit Judge Steven Watkins on Thursday morning, the controversial heard the indictment filed against him and agreed to be in court for every hearing moving forward. Last week, a grand jury handed down a total of 16 indictments against Smollett, all stemming from the purported attack against him in Chicago about seven weeks ago. He has been charged with disorderly conduct and making a false police report. In court today, Smollett pleaded not guilty across the board. Smollett is accused of lying to the authorities and making up a story that he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack by two men in the early morning hours of January 29 in Chicago. Cops have since said that Smollett concocted this tale to further his career, although it remains unclear just how he thought this would accomplish such a goal. The two Nigerian brothers who allegedly schemed along with Smollett have reportedly spilled all their tea to the police, implicating Jussie and explaining how he paid them to pose as his attackers. No matter how many times we write about this story, it never stops being literally incredible. Each charge against Smollett is punishable by as little as probation and as much as three years behind bars. He’s due back in court on April 17. As noted above, there’s a lot riding on this for Smollett aside from his acting career. But Fox is yet to renew Empire for a sixth season. In the past, with the exception of last year when a renewal announcement was made in May, the network had always given the green light for future episodes in January. Despite earlier reports, Smollett has not technically been fired from the series, but he has been removed from the final few installments scheduled for this spring. Executives may be waiting to see how his legal case plays out before deciding on the program’s fate, but time would not be on their side if this really is the play. Smollett could agree to a plea deal or he could take this all the way to a trial; the latter likely would not be held for several months, meaning Fox has to make some sort of decision soon. View Slideshow: Jussie Smollett: This is How He Staged His Assault And, let’s be honest, right? No matter what happens with Smollett legally, is there any way he can be brought back at this point? Like, any way at all?

Jessica Canseco: I Never Boned Alex Rodriguez!

Alex Rodriguez may have slammed 696 home runs throughout his controversial Major League Baseball career, but Jessica Canseco wants to make one thing clear: He never rounded the bases with her! Not once! Not ever! “Those false accusations Jose [Canseco] is making are not true,” Jessica has now Tweeted, in referenced to what her famous ex-husband himself Tweeted this past weekend. She added: “I have known Alex for many years and haven’t even seen him for over 5. I certainly did not sleep with him. I am friendly with both him and Jennifer. As for Jose he can keep playing with his Alien friends.” There’s a lot to unpack there, huh? But let’s begin here… … Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez got engaged on Saturday night. The former got down on one knee and proposed to the latter with a multi-million dollar rign while on vacation in the Bahamas. Not long after this exciting news went viral, however, Jose Canseco spoke out and sullied the kind of good name of his fellow former slugger and steroid user. “Watching World of Dance watching J.Lo text Alex Rodriguez little does she know that he is cheating on her with my ex-wife Jessica poor girl she has no idea who he really is,” Canseco wrote, adding that the affair has been on going. “I was there a few months back with her when he called her on her phone.” To be clear, this second part may be true. Jessica freely admits she is friends with Alex and he really may have given her a call while she was in the presence of her ex — and Jose may have interpreted this contact as meaning the two were sleeping together. Wait a minute: Why are we defending Jose Canseco?!? This is the same disgraced ex-athlete who concluded his supposedly revelatory Tweet as follows: “Alex Rodriguez I challenge you to a boxing match or an MMA match anytime you want.” Might he simply have been seeking publicity and some sort of payday via his accusatory Tweet? Rodriguez has also been accused of cheating on Lopez by a fitness model named Lauren Hunter. This is an old accusation that resurfaced this week in wake of the engagement, as quotes Hunter gave to the National Enquirer about the package A-Rod is packing and the raunchy texts he used to send her went public a couple days ago. “He told me he loved me, and he’s loved me for a long time,” Hunter told the Enquirer, alleging her affair with Rodriguez overlapped the first few months of his J-Lo romance back in early 2017. This claim hasn’t impacted the Rodriguez-Lopez love story, however. Just hours after it made the rounds again, Jennifer shared the photos above and below of Rodriguez proposing to her on the beach. The superstars seem awfully smitten with each other. Lopez has “heard the cheating rumors in the past and has never let it bother her,” a source tells Us Weekly, adding: “She trusts [Rodriguez] and his love. They are inseparable and together almost all of the time. Jose Canseco has an ax to grind, but she doesn’t hear the noise.” And it must help when Rodriguez writes very romantic words on his Instagram story. To wit: “There aren’t many words to share with you, only feelings. Gratitude. Excitement. And just … joy,” he said on Tuesday, concluding: “We know there is work to do to keep building a family and future we can be proud of, and we can’t do it without all of you. “We are so thankful for all your messages of love and congratulations.” AWWWWW!

Cassie Randolph Lashes Out Against Trolls, Details "Unique Adventure" on The Bachelor

Cassie Randolph is finally ready to talk. Or write, at the very least. Especially now that she has something to say about her apparent soulmate, Colton Underwood. On Tuesday night’s emotional Bachelor finale , Cassie listened closely to Colton’s pleas for another shot. She explained to him that she didn’t like how he was dating so many other women during their televised courtship and outlined the pressure she felt to make a decision about marriage at this point in their relationship. So the pair decided to scale it all back. There was no proposal on the finale. There was simply a decision to commit to a legitimate relationship and to see what sort of feelings would develop from there. And what was the answer? Very strong feelings! On the live after-show that aired following the actual finale, Cassie said she and Colton were “super” in love. How sweet, right?!? There’s no ring on Cassie’s finger just yet, just to be clear, but Randolph jumped on Instagram several hours ago to open up in great detail about the “unique adventure” of appearing on The Bachelor. “Sometimes it can be hard for me to find my words (as you all have seen haha),” she said to open this lengthy post, continuing as follows: “it’s so easy for me to over-analyze and get in my own head, especially when my feelings are overwhelming or when big things are happening so quickly. So, here goes my attempt to put the past 6 months into words…” From there, Cassie delved into nearly every aspect of her time as a contestant. And she included with her message the photo below of her and Colton swapping spit. Stepping out of the limo on night one, I had no idea what was in store for me. The saying “God always has bigger plans in mind” has never felt more real to me than it does now. I’m honestly holding back tears as I write this, trying not to get too sentimental as all the memories and emotions flood over me while I reflect on this whole experience. As easy as it is to mock The Bachelor and the idea of falling in love in front of complete strangers and many cameras, Cassie and Colton actually approached the experience in a similar, candid manner. It’s clearly ridiculous to get engaged after a stint on this show. Both sides instead agreed to just date for awhile and to see where things go from there. Now, back to Cassie’s heartlfelt message: I am unbelievably grateful for every single relationship that was formed with 29 amazing women, Colton and all the crew involved. It was a truly unique adventure that I got the extraordinary opportunity to experience. Everyone who has been beside me throughout these past 6 months (during filming and post), has helped me grow in ways that I couldn’t ever have imagined. Cassie, of course, feuded with fellow beauty pageant contestant Caelynn on more than one occasion this season. But she only had positive things to say in this post. I’ve learned things about myself, relationships, and life in general, that I would never have known otherwise. Thinking back to before I was cast on The Bachelor S23, I get chills realizing just how crazy it is that ONE THING has the potential to change life SO MUCH. Randolph did go on to say she needed to take a social media hiatus, however, during which some viewers out there hurt her feelings with what they said about her online. This past week, I took a much-needed break from my social media. I was allowing the opinions of others, and their sometimes cruel speculations, really get to me. T hat brings me to perhaps the truest, most impactful thing that this experience has taught me: to stay true to myself. Being real is something we ALL owe to ourselves. She concluded by hinting that marriage may, indeed, be in the cards. Regardless of the outcome, that is the one thing we can do to guarantee no regrets… to make the best decision we can in the moment. So cheers, my friends (and trolls) to The Bachelor S23 finale… may we all live and learn, be humble, and most of all, forever remain open to learning. Thank you for the opportunity to share with you all a glimpse into some of the most pivotal moments of my life. So far 🙂 As for the two other questions Bachelor fans had heading into the finale: 1. Yes, Cassie and Colton almost definitely had sex, although neither would confirm. 2. As you can learn more about below, Hannah Brown was named the next Bachelorette.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap: Teddi Mellencamp (Finally!) Confesses Involvement in PuppyGate

On Tuesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the PuppyGate drama intensified, and it made one housewife look super sketchy.  The explosive installment picked up with Teddi Mellencamp making her way over to Erika Girardi’s house to unveil her involvement in the storyline that is ruling the current season of the show.  Teddi confirmed that she was not in good standing with Dorit and that Lisa Vanderpump used that to her advantage.  “Lisa knew there was tension between Dorit and I,” Teddi dished, adding: “So I get the call from Vanderpump Dogs. They said, ‘This thing happened with Dorit and the dog. Can you believe it? It’s crazy. Lisa wanted you to know.’ And I had a very dramatic response.” “I was kind of in it, texting with them, being catty back. Like, ‘Alright, gimme more deets. Show me the tea!’ Not being the most above-board human being.” “She fed me information, and I bit,” Teddi continued. “Then Kyle and I get invited by Lisa Vanderpump to go to Vanderpump Dogs.” “They wanted me to say it. I already know this going into Vanderpump Dogs, and I couldn’t go through with it.” Erika wanted to know what Teddi was urged to say.  “Telling everybody what Dorit did,” she confirmed.  “Lisa is now in a full tizzy, ‘Don’t say anything! Don’t say anything!'” Teddi said about the whole mess, going on to say about LVP’s reaction to the whole mess being shot on camera. “That is when I realized, ‘I am set up. Something’s going on, and I don’t feel good about it anymore.’ If I wanted to lie, I wouldn’t have said I was petty at the beginning and I was involved.” “I have the proof, but somehow, she’s gonna try to flip it. I know it. In my heart of hearts, I think that’s what she’s doing right now.” Meanwhile, Dorit wondered whether she could find a way to trust Lisa again, and turned to her husband, PK.  “I love her, but LVP is a genius at manipulation and control,” he told his wife. “She’s the best in the world at it, and I respect her for it, but it gets a bit different and a bit difficult for me when it’s my wife.” Dorit wanted Lisa to be honest with her. She was convinced Lisa orchestrated the whole thing and wanted an apology.  As for Lisa, she was still trying to find a way to prove her innocence. John Blizzard, whose name keeps popping up in this whole mess, stopped by and Lisa asked for the truth.  “I know I don’t know you very well,” Lisa said to Blizzard. “I mean, I don’t. I know you’ve worked at the center. And really, before we even start anything, I really appreciate everything.” “However, you have kind of complicated my life. Our relationship is not that close, but clearly, you seem to be a lot closer to Teddi.” “Yeah, I am,” confirmed John. “Somehow, things got misconstrued,” LVP continued, adding that Blizzard is mistaken.  “Okay, so you told her. But then you implicate me,” said a stunned Lisa who felt like she had been implicated in something she had no part of.  “I put words in your mouth that were not true,” he replied. “And I will own that, and I’m sorry for that … and that’s what everyone at the center is so frustrated about is how this is all being flipped onto you.” “She’s not gonna be happy that you showed me the texts,” Lisa said. “Yeah, but at the same time, she shouldn’t have brought up my texts,” John replied. Lisa wasted no time in inviting Dorit and Kyle over to her house to show them the proof, and Kyle was not impressed. “I can see what you’re saying,” she said, adding: “There’s no doubt that [Teddi’s] hands aren’t clean in this, but I think that it’s not fair to put that on her when she wasn’t alone in the situation.”  Lisa was not about to let her vindication be marred by such drama. Lisa said she had “never spoken to John Blizzard.” Kyle took aim at Lisa, wondering how she knew that Teddi knew about the dog.  Lisa said that she texted Dorit saying, “You need to get in front of this. You need to clear this up.” Lisa ten provided what she said to Teddi about the matter: “Well, I just knew that if Teddi knows, or I know, you know, we all know, we start talking about it, so I said, ‘You should go and talk to John.'” Dorit was blindsided by the texts, but Kyle was not sure Lisa was telling the truth.  “Lisa’s saying she never spoke with John Blizzard, but someone told her something because she quickly let Dorit know,” Kyle said to the cameras. “So who told you? Where’d you get the information? Obviously, Lisa and John Blizzard had a whole conversation going on about that.” Yeah, PuppyGate is here to stay! RHOBH continues Tuesdays on Bravo.  View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: Official Season 9 Portraits!

Colton Underwood and Cassie Randolph Reveal Engagement Plans!

The Bachelor finale has come and gone, and Colton Underwood got his happy ending . But after some major deviations from the show’s usual “script,” he and Cassie are not actually engaged just yet. Now, the two lovebirds have opened up about their relationship plans in the future. Colton Underwood opened up to People about his romance with Cassie and their plans for the future. “We’re so excited to be out in public,” Colton begins. Excitedly, he adds: “and not have to hide anymore.” Living with exciting news is tough when you can’t share it, especially when you’re famous it impacts your entire life. “I’m so in love,” he raves. “And I’m ready for everyone to know it.” Though Cassie was roasted on social media for her apparent inability to string together a coherent sentence on the finale, she also spoke to People . And she sounds over the moon. “We can finally be outwardly happy,” Cassie announces. “And,” she continues. “Not have to keep this big secret.” That must be a tremendous weight off of their shoulders. So, how does he feel about the way that he ditched tradition? “I know there’s a certain format that comes along with being The Bachelor ,” Colton acknowledges. “But this was about the rest of my life,” he notes. Some leading men treat the show as entertainment. Clearly, Colton took it very seriously. “And I couldn’t risk giving Cassie up,” Colton admits. And obviously, he didn’t want to pull an Arie and propose to one woman while thinking of another. That is why he broke up with Tayshia Adams and Hannah Godwin. In case there was any doubt, the two have not gotten engaged since the finale was filmed. “She doesn’t have a ring on her finger yet,” Colton admits. It sounds like they’re still taking baby steps in their romance. That is perfectly okay. “But she will,” Colton vows. “One day.” Presumably, the two of them will know when the time is right. Cassie makes it clear that they’re not avoiding the subject. “We definitely talk about our future engagement,” Cassie reveals. The speech pathologist adds that it’s not something that either of them are dreading. “We’re both excited to get to that point,” she gushes. They’re just not in a big rush. “I am now a California resident,” Colton notes, revealing that he uprooted himself from Denver. He now lives in West Hollywood — but he and Cassie do not share a home. Not yet, anyway. “Our goal is to buy a house in Huntington Beach in the next year,” Colton speculates. “But,” he adds. “We probably won’t move in together until we’re engaged or married.” “As much as I want her to live with me,” he admits. “It’s a big step and something we both take very seriously.” That is absolutely their choice, though we hope that they’re making sure that they will be a good match as housemates. (What temperatujre do they both like their home? Their bedroom? Do people handle dishes and bathroom stuff in the same way?) “I came on The Bachelor wanting to be madly in love when I left,” Colton concludes. “And that’s exactly what happened.” View Slideshow: Hannah Brown: Confirmed as the Next Bachelorette!

The Bachelor Season Finale, Part 1: What Did Colton Do?!?

Colton Underwood promised to be a different Bachelor this season, coming into the season as a virgin. (It's true! He had never had sex before! Not sure if the show had mentioned that at all.) And, in the end, Underwood lived up to this promise. He made an unusual decision on part one Season 23 finale, breaking down in tears often and taking both viewers and Chris Harrison aback. Like, way aback. For what reason? What did Colton decide? Scroll down for all the delicious details! 1. Cassie or Bust! As nearly all Internet users knew heading into the finale, Colton lost it a week prior after Cassie said she didn’t love him and wanted to go home. He jumped a fence and disappeared into the night, leaving Chris Harrison and company confused and in a panic. 2. Quote of the Century? “We called back to Los Angeles… and we woke up other executive producers and executives and said, ‘This is what’s happening. What do we do?’ and they said, ‘At some point, you’re gonna have to call the authorities,'” Harrison said on air of Colton bolting. “Luckily as we were about [to call the cops], someone’s walkie talkie clips.” (Ummmm… you were gonna call the cops and say what?!? A grown man was walking outside by himself? Please help?) 3. I’m F-cking Done!
