Jenny McCarthy and Brian Urlacher, star of the NFL’s Chicago Bears, are totally a couple , according to reports. Reports she confirmed this weekend. The football great joined McCarthy Thursday night at Rockit Bar & Grill for the “Rescue Our Angels” event, benefiting Jenny’s autism charity. Asked about Urlacher at The Generation Rescue Foundation event by WMAQ-Channel 5, Jenny McCarthy said, “Yes, it’s true, we are dating.” Despite attempting to hit out-of-the-way meeting places, the couple hadn’t been able to hide their budding romance, try as they might. “Let’s face it, it was really already out there, everybody knew it,” she said. Also, the relationship apparently has reached a point where McCarthy feels it’s “the real deal and will last,” added a source close to her. McCarthy clearly was not hiding anywhere or anything Friday. She joined about 30 close Urlacher friends to toast his 34th birthday. Jenny, 39, recently announced that she’ll be posing in Playboy again nearly two decades after it put her on the map. [Photos: WENN.com]

The Bachelorette star Emily Maynard ‘s #1 priority is her 6-year-old daughter, Ricki. Kalon McMahon, a.k.a. the “villain” that ABC really wants you to hate (and a bunch of the guys probably do) this season, apparently feels otherwise. On tonight’s episode, he makes his feelings about fatherhood known. “I always had believed that my first child would be one of my own, so obviously embracing you and Ricki as a part of my life … it’s not the way I wrote it up in my journal as a kid,” he boldly admits to the Charlotte, N.C. single mom. Taken aback, Maynard asks the helicopter-riding douche to think of his own mother, who raised him as a single parent, but Kalon immediately cuts her off. “I love it when you talk, but I wish you’d let me finish,” he snaps. That comment will put Maynard even more on edge. “I love tall, skinny and funny, but I don’t love tall, skinny and condescending!” she snaps at him. Ouch. Another hopeful, Alessandro, reportedly tells her something similar tonight: “I don’t have a lot of experience with kids. You’ve got to teach me.” Not surprisingly, this doesn’t go over well with Em: “You see that as a compromise, not an honor? My daughter isn’t a compromise … anybody I spend the rest of my life with is going to see that as the biggest bonus ever.” Bam. Will either or both of these guys get roses tonight? Who will make it to the end this season? Follow this link for The Bachelorette spoilers we know so far.

Our prayers are with this young lady. The woman in Georgia who has been battling a flesh eating bacteria deserves kudos for her bravery after learning she’ll have to have her hands and remaining foot amputated. According to RadarOnline reports : The Georgia girl whose body is being ravaged by a flesh-eating bacteria bravely gave the OK when her parents broke the news to her that she would have to lose her hands and right foot. Aimee Copeland, 24, of Snellville, Georgia, is now awake and alert but remains in critical condition battling the hideous infection, after falling from a home-made zip line into infected water near the Little Tallapoosa River on May 1. She suffered a deep gash in her calf and despite it being cleaned and closed with 22 staples, a bacteria burrowed deep into the wound and caused necrotizing fasciitis, forcing surgeons to amputate her left leg. Copeland’s parents told her Thursday that the doctors want to remove her hands and remaining foot, reported the Atlanta Journal Constitution and the brave student replied that she was a “little confused but would figure it out.” “She smiled and raised her hands up, carefully examining them,” father Andy Copeland wrote on his Facebook page on Friday. “She then looked at us. We all understood her next three words… ‘Let’s do this.’” Aimee’s dad explained how they had come to expect the inevitable after watching the startling transformation in her hands over the past few days. “They went from a splotchy purple color to a red tone and then to a pinkish flesh tone… back to an angry red,” he wrote. “The doctor explained that her body was trying hard to heal her hands, but the blood flow was too poor.” Andy said he was blown away by the strength of his daughter when he explained to her, “Aimee, these hands are not healthy, they are hampering your progress. “I have never seen such a strong display of courage,” he revealed. “Aimee shed no tears, she never batted an eyelash. I was crying because I am a proud father of an incredibly courageous young lady.” The bacteria that triggered the infection destroying the University of West Georgia Psychology student’s body, Aeromonas hydrophila, thrives in warm climates and fresh water. While common, the germ rarely causes flesh-eating disease. But when it does, the infection carries a fatality rate upward of 60 percent, according to a 2010 report published in the Journal Clinical Microbiology Reviews.

Mark Wahlberg is continuing to walk back his recent comments about September 11, saying he made a mistake but attempting to put it in some context. In the latest issue of Men’s Journal , the actor said that he would have handled things differently had he been on one of the planes downed by terrorists. Wahlberg’s 9/11 comments were widely criticized and he quickly apologized. Speaking to Kidd Kraddick in the Morning on Friday, he explained it as such: “I would never disrespect the victims of 9/11 or their families. It was misunderstood. My only intention was to explain that I would do anything to protect my family – I would put myself in harms way to protect my family or innocent people.” “That was it. First and foremost, I am not speaking as an actor.” “I am a real guy from the streets and I’ve been in a lot of situations, so I was very out of line and I wasn’t thinking about the real heroes and the guys, women, children, fathers, sons, daughters who were on those flights.” This came up because Wahlberg was initially booked on one of the flights hijacked out of Boston on 9/11/01, before serendipitously moving his flight. “If I was on that plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did,” he told the magazine. “There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘OK, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.'” His comments greatly offended some victims of 9/11. “People are much more vigilant now than they were on 9/11,” Mary Shetchet, a spokesperson for the support group Voices Of 9/11, explained. “10 years later it easy to say you would have responded differently.”
Give Mark Wahlberg credit for a swift, simple and seemingly sincere apology after a boast that he would have fended off 9/11 hijackers and prevented a plane from crashing. For reasons unknown, he said this to Men’s Journal . The quote: “If I was on the [hijacked] plane with my kids, it wouldn’t have went down like it did. There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin and then me saying, ‘Okay, we’re going to land somewhere safely, don’t worry.'” This came up because Mark was initially booked on one of the fights that was hijacked, only to change it serendipitously. He mused about what might’ve been. It did not go over well. Wahlberg’s reps promptly issued a statement from the 40-year-old Contraband star admitting the foolishness of his statements and expressing remorse. “To speculate about such a situation is ridiculous to begin with, and to suggest I would’ve done anything differently than the passengers on that plane was irresponsible,” Wahlberg wrote. “I deeply apologize to the families of the victims.” “My answer came off as insensitive, and that was certainly not my intention.”
