As anyone familiar with Late Night knows, Jimmy Fallon is not funny. He has, however, been waging a tireless campaign to get the cast of Saved By the Bell to reunite on his show.
Who says reality shows can’t have happy endings?!? Just five months ago, Jillian Harris was a woman dumped, Molly Malaney was a woman hated and Melissa Rycroft was a woman scorned. Now
Having gotten engaged to Ed Swiderski on The Bachelorette finale, then gone public with him on the “After the Final Rose” special last night, Jillian Harris is retiring from blogging for good. But not before posting one last cute entry!
Not only are Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski still together, they are smitten and planning on getting married within the next 12 months. We wish them all the best.
Here’s what Jillian – with special guest Ed – had to say about engagement, their journey on The Bachelorette, and what’s next as they begin their life together …
“Well … that’s a wrap! I will keep this post short and sweet as I have an eager man waiting for me and wanting to get OUT IN PUBLIC together … FINALLY!”
“A wise man once said, ‘Love, it don’t come easy’ – and that is so true. I can honestly say I have found my best friend but it didn’t come without consequences.”
“Aside from the crying, surprises, drama, criticism and most importantly, hurting two incredible men that I will never forget – please know that it broke my heart.”
“I never imagined in a million years I would have to let two men go that I love so dearly in order to be with the man that I want to spend the rest of my life with.”
Ed Swiderski and Jillian Harris on The Bachelorette, and in real life.
“Reid and Kiptyn are unbelievable men. Some have opinions of why I should have picked one or the other. Some see why Ed was perfect for me from the start.”
“I embrace ALL of your opinions. I can see why you would all think ALL three of these men would be great for me. For those who want to congratulate my happiness, THANK YOU!!! We are both EXTREMELY happy (still) and it gets better every day.”
“The ‘After the Final Rose’ was not easy. Not for me, and not for Reid or Kiptyn I’m sure. I felt like there was no right way to deal with the situation.”
“I have always been very close with my exes but have never had to confront them in a setting like this before so I was definitely hurting. There are so many fabulous memories and so many sensitive ones. All I can say is that I am lucky.”
“As I type this, Ed and I are off to our FIRST outing in public, hopefully just wings and beer! I am so excited and so eager to get my normal little life back.”
“Ed and I have spent the summer together (every two weeks for five days at a time) and it truly does keep on getting better and better. We have so much fun together.”
“Oh wait – someone’s stealing my computer!”
“Ed here! I cannot believe the journey that we have experienced over the last few months. But we are having a blast and could not be happier.”
“I want to thank everyone for their support and cheering us on.”
“Jilly and I have been spending so much time together and have an incredible summer planned. THANK YOU for believing in Jilly and supporting her through this.”
“She truly means the world to me and I promise you all that I will take good care of her. We are ready for a wicked life together! – Ed”
“Well, I better get going. Mr. Invisible is waiting patiently. Love you ALL, thank you soooo much!!!! I would not have gotten through this without all of your support. XOXOXOX and ALL MY LOVE, Jillian”
The most recent season of ABC’s The Bachelorette has ended with a marriage proposal, but what’s even more shocking is the news that the couple hadn’t yet split by the time of the finale. For the final rose ceremony Monday night, bachelorette Jillian Harris presented Ed Swiderski with a… …read full story
What Nick Lachey ever saw in Jessica Simpson remains a mystery. But the identity of the blonde beauty the singer was spotted with over the weekend has at least been revealed: say hello to Holly Letchworth. Radar Online spoke to a friend of the 23-year old bartender, who confirmed that her pal and Lachey had a date at Stanley’s Restaurant and Bar on Sunday night in Sherman Oaks, California.
There was a time in which Victoria’s Secret was known for lingerie.
Maybe that’s still true. But this is not the first time we’ve seen Miranda Kerr topless in the Caribbean, frolicking in the warm water and posing for the brand.
Seems a little silly, doesn’t it? Lingerie ads with no actual lingerie?
What are they even selling? The bottom portion of her underwear, we suppose, as well as the mere idea that a half-naked Miranda Kerr is wearing them.
Come to think of it, that’s a great marketing campaign. Pure genius.
After an emotional Bachelorette finale that saw Jillian Harris bid farewell to not one, but two popular hunks, fans are split over whether she made the right call. Ed Swiderski proposed to the Canadian cutie Monday night, and as far as we can tell, they are still together and engaged. It was a tearful, fairy-tale conclusion.
In an emotional season finale, The Bachelorette star Jillian Harris ended up with Ed Swiderski, ousting Kiptyn Locke and leaving Reid Rosenthal devastated.
After Kiptyn was rejected, it appeared as if Reid might sweep Jillian off her feet with his dramatic return to the show. But ultimately, Jillian’s feelings for Ed, the Chicago native who left and returned himself this season, were just too strong.
The episode began on the big island of Hawaii and a date with her parents, Ed Swiderski and his chest hair. He admits to her folks that he used to be married to his girlfriend in Chicago job, but now is here because he loves Jillian.
Glenn Harris gave Ed Swiderski his blessing to propose to Jillian.
Then it is time for Jillian’s date with Kiptyn Locke. They are reunited at last. They kiss. A lot. They kiss again. They say a few words. And so on, et cetera.
Asked if he’s in love with Jillian Harris, Kiptyn says he’s “getting there.” Moments later, he admits (to the camera) that he is in love with her. More kissing.
After meeting both guys, her parents and hot cousin praise … both. Jill is still torn. Fortunately, she goes on second dates with both of the perfect fellas.
Jillian Harris’ decision on love did not come easy. Wes would understand.
Ed’s goes really well, with no sign of performance anxiety. He confesses that he wants to be with Jillian … forever. Hard to top that, although Kiptyn Locke tries, saying he’s ready to commit and wants Jillian to – OMG – move to San Diego.
In a shameless plug for Neil Lane, the guys both pick out rings. The dudes are hella nervous. Jillian has made her decision and decides she is going to let go of …
… Kiptyn. Even after he was gonna propose and stuff. Heartbreaking.
Sad as she is, Jillian can now focus all her attention on … wait, is that a mysterious taxi pulling up! Yes! With Reid Rosenthal, who arrives, shirt untucked!
In tears, Reid says he had to pull “a million” strings to get back on the show (yeah, right), admits his mistakes, and professes his undying love to Jillian. Swoon.
He drops to one knee and pops the question! It’s the most romantic thing ever. But … crickets. Jillian: “I need to think aboot this.” She leaves. Reid waits.
Fortunately, Chris Harrison is there to coach her. He tells her to follow her heart. Jillian: “How do I make a decision like this?” Chris: “Because you know.” Pimp.
Jillian cuts Reid loose for the second time. That’s gotta be rough.
Even a valiant effort by Reid Rosenthal couldn’t stave off Ed Swiderski.
Finally, it’s Ed’s turn to walk across the pool and into Jillian’s arms. He professes his love to Jillian once again, gets down to one knee and asks her to marry him.
She accepts! They embrace! Tears flow. He gives her a piggyback ride. Cue obligatory cheesy montage of Ed-Jillian highlights from weeks past as the credits roll!
