The Bachelor may be a guilty pleasure. But these stars admit that they love the show. Can you blame them?!? 1. Kaley Cuoco Kaley Cuoco loves The Bachelor. But she has made it very clear, via multiple public statements, that she especially loves Ben Higgins. 2. John Mayer Said the singer to Ellen DeGeneres in 2012: “I don’t even feel like it’s my fault for liking it. It’s not a guilty pleasure. It’s designed to be a pleasure. 3. Amanda Seyfried Amanda Seyfried kept up closely with Juan Pablo Galavis via Twitter. “I hope Clare wins so they can learn English together. #bachelor,” she write in February 2014. “Chris Klein for The Bachelor. #unironicSuggestion 4. Jennifer Aniston Jennifer Aniston admitted in 2011 that she finds The Bachelor “fascinating,” adding: “I was mesmerized by how these girls, they meet this guy, they have three dates together or something, and they’re weeping as though they’ve just lost the love of their life. I don’t understand that.” 5. Andrew Garfield Andrew Garfield has a thing for… Sean Lowe? “If I met him, I’d be like, ‘Oh my god, it’s Sean Lowe!” the star said in 2013. 6.

Vanessa Grimaldi or Raven Gates? The Bachelor spoilers have told us how this epic season ends for months, and soon we'll know for sure. In this season finale preview, however, it looks like Nick Viall was confused, worried and unsure about the decision at hand until the end. After giving roses to Raven and Vanessa and setting Rachel Lindsay free to be The Bachelorette on last night's episode, the end is near. Is Nick still hedging as to who he'll propose to, though? “I came here to find a love that I’ve never felt before and a love that has the strength to last a lifetime,” Viall says in the preview clip. “So now, I feel lucky because I’m so in love.” The only problem, of course, is that he's fallen for two special people and when it comes to The Bachelor winner , there can be only one. One rose, and Neil Lane ring, to rule them all. Nick’s optimism is also dampened by the fact that his previous Bachelor franchise experiences with love have ended in heartbreak. Not for the women involved, but for him. “I’m in love with these two women, but I’ve been incredibly terrified because I was very much in love with Andi and Kaitlyn,” he says. “And I was really heartbroken both times.” “And I’m terrified that will happen again.” Viall made back-to-back finales of The Bachelorette only to watch Andi Dorfman (2014) and Kaitlyn Bristowe (2015) chose the other suitor. Part of him is therefore knows he'll be breaking someone's heart imminently, while also wondering if his decision will be the right one. Nick’s fears clearly manifest themselves throughout the final episode, as he brings up these concerns about the women and the process. His family serves as the sounding board. “There’s no denying how confident I was with Andi and Kaitlyn in the moment,” he admits, adding that he's scared about what must be done. “So I think I would be lying if I were to make some grand answer how different this is [or will know] once I make that decision.” “All I have to do is figure out which one I feel in my heart is best for me and I hope and pray that they will feel the same way.” Doesn't make it any easier. Nick adds: “It’s very hard to comprehend how strong I feel for each of these women, but I’m not sure what’s going to happen and I’m running out of time.” Who do you think it will be?

If you’re a Teen Mom 2 fan, then by now you’ve likely heard the news that Kailyn Lowry is pregnant with her third child . You’re probably also aware that the identity of Kailyn’s baby daddy remains a mystery. At this point, it’s anyone’s guess as to who may have knocked Kailyn up for the third time, but not surprisingly, fans have done some digging, and some likely candidates have emerged. According to online sleuths and the tabloid media, the father of Kailyn’s baby is probably either her longtime friend Tyler Hill, Teen Mom 2 producer J.C. Cueva, or a man named Chris Lopez, whom Kailyn appears to have dated shortly after parting ways with Javi Marroquin. The bulk of evidence seems to point to Lopez being the father , and a new clue may have confirmed that theory. According to Radar Online, in an Instagram live stream, Kailyn appears to have let-slip the name of her baby daddy. The clip is no longer available, but those who have seen it describe it like this: Lowry and a friend are seen discussing potential baby names. Kailyn’s friend suggests naming the kid Holden, and that’s when the bomb drops: “Chris would say, ‘I’m Holden the baby!’” Kailyn joked while streaming live. Those who were watching say Kailyn covered the mic and the stream ended shortly thereafter. The clip appears to have been scrubbed from the Internet, but that hasn’t stopped fans from discussing the footage on social media. “So the dad is Chris,” one fan wrote on Kailyn’s Instagram page. “She said it was Chris, I’m pretty positive!” another commented. Reached for comment, Kailyn’s reps remained tight-lipped on the matter. Thus far, her team has yet to reveal any information with regard to the father’s identity or even as to whether or not he’ll be involved in the child’s upbringing. “We don’t know how involved the father will be,” Lowry’s manager said in a recent statement. “Kail will release that information when she’s ready.” If the description of the clip is accurate we think it’s safe to draw two conclusions: 1. Chris Lopez is indeed the father of Kailyn’s kid. 2. He and Kailyn are still friendly with one another, at the very least.

Earlier this week, several media outlets reported that Rob Kardashian is not permitted to be alone with his daughter due to his persistent physical and mental health issues. “He is not in a state to care for her by himself,” one anonymous insider revealed. The news was a shock to many fans, as it came on the heels of Rob’s touching social media tribute to 3-month-old Dream, as well as reports that the father of one had made tremendous progress in recent months. There was a time when Rob would publicly challenge reports that he’d fallen back into his old habits. Some believe the fact that he’s kept quiet thus far is a sign that he’s in a more stable place emotionally. Others say his silence is a clear indication that the reports are accurate, and that Rob is in fact not allowed to care for his baby without supervision. But just because he hasn’t clapped back in one of his signature social media tirades, that doesn’t mean Rob is taking this latest round of criticism lying down. Perhaps at the behest of his concerned momager, Rob has been holding off on explicit counterattacks, instead attempting to prove his haters wrong through his actions – actions that he documents on Instagram, of course: Rob posted the above photo of Dream last night, and it immediately began racking up the likes. He captioned the image: “Drool on my baby lol ,,, Look how long her eye lashes are I will never say no this Woman lol” Now, it’s entirely possible that this is just Rob’s way of affection for his love for his daughter with his millions of social media followers. But it’s hard to ignore the timing of the love-fest. To be clear, we don’t doubt Rob’s feeling for his daughter, and we’re inclined to believe that he’s a perfectly capable and devoted dad. But the Kardashians don’t do anything without a thought toward how it’ll be perceived by the public, so it’s entirely possible that those who are interpreting Rob’s post as a subtle response to the latest speculation are absolutely correct. Now that Rob and Blac Chyna are broken up for good, we’ll probably see a lot more of this sort of thing, as Rob attempts to prove to his ex, to his fans, and to himself that he’s up to the task of raising a daughter. But if it helps to actually rise to the occasion of doing so, then that’s perfectly alright. View Slideshow: Dream Kardashian Photos: What a Cutie!
Tommy Page, the pop star and music executive best known for his 1992 hit “I’ll Be Your Everything,” has passed away. He was just 46 years old. A spokesperson for Billboard Entertainment Group broke the news in a statement issued to several media outlets: “We are all mourning the loss of our friend and colleague, Tommy Page,” the statement reads. “He was a magnetic soul and a true entertainer.” The death is being reported as a “suspected suicide.” Page’s fame peaked in the early ’90s, when “I’ll Be Your Everything” reached number one on the US charts and spent 13 weeks in the top 40.

During his time at Warner Bros. he helped manage the careers of Michael Buble, Alanis Morissette, Josh Groban and Green Day, among others.

At the time of his death, Page also worked as vice president at Pandora and senior vice president at Cumulus Media. Page frequently collaborated with the New Kids on the Block, two of whom received co-writing credits on “I’ll Be Your Everything.” The members of the iconic boy band took to social media to share memories of Page after news of his death went public: “#TommyPage: I remember his same genuine smile he have every time you saw him. A very sad loss. #riptommypage,” former New Kid Joey McIntyre tweeted.

Our condolences go out to the family and friends of Antonia.
Hope you’re ready for a good, long cry , because it’s coming your way fast. Amy Krouse Rosenthal, if you’re not familiar with her work, is a bestselling author. She’s written several children’s books, but she’s also written a couple of memoirs. But her latest work could very possibly be her last work, and that’s because Amy has ovarian cancer and isn’t expected to live very much longer. The work in question is an essay written for the New York Times titled “You May Want to Marry My Husband.” Because this woman has been married for over two decades, and she is such an unbelievable gem that she’s spending some of her last moments looking out for her husband. See what we mean about the crying? “I have been trying to write this for a while,” she begins, “but the morphine and lack of juicy cheeseburgers (what has it been now, five weeks without real food?) have drained my energy and interfered with whatever prose prowess remains.” “Still,” she writes, “I have to stick with it, because I’m facing a deadline, in this case, a pressing one. I need to say this (and say it right) while I have a) your attention, and b) a pulse.” Amy says that she’s married to “the most extraordinary man,” and while they’ve been married for 26 years, “I was planning on at least another 26 together.” She then explains that on the same day their third and youngest child left for college, she and her husband went to the emergency room for what they thought was appendicitis but what turned out to be ovarian cancer. “So many plans instantly went poof,” she writes — no international adventures with her husband or her parents, no writers’ residencies. “This is when we entered what I came to think of as Plan ‘Be,'” she continues, “existing only in the present. As for the future, allow me to introduce you to the gentleman of this article, Jason Brian Rosenthal.” Yep, so let’s kick the heartache up a notch. Amy writes that her husband Jason is “an easy man to fall in love with,” and she knows because she did it in one day — on a blind date when they were 24 years old. Though she’s never been on any dating sites , she takes a stab at creating a dating profile for Jason — she calls him a “sharp dresser” with “a flair for fabulous socks,” she says that he’s “uncannily handy” and “man, can he cook.” She says he’s a wonderful father to their three children, and that “he showed up at our first pregnancy ultrasound with flowers.” She then goes into a story about how she had a contest in which her fans could submit ideas to her for matching tattoos, and whichever submission she picked, she would get that tattoo with that person. In the end, she chose a simple tattoo: the word more. Her reader picked it because she’d once written it was the first word she ever said as a child, but now it has deeper meaning. “I want more time with Jason,” she says. “I want more time with my children. I want more time sipping martinis at the Green Mill Jazz Club on Thursday nights.” “But that is not going to happen. I probably have only a few days left being a person on this planet. So why am I doing this?” She explains “I am wrapping this up on Valentine’s Day, and the most genuine, none-vase-oriented gift I can hope for is that the right person reads this, finds Jason, and another love story begins.” “I’ll leave this intentional space below as a way of giving you two the fresh start you deserve.” After that blank space, she closed her essay by writing “With all my love, Amy.” What a woman. What a wife. What an incredibly thoughtful, selfless human being. And now for those tears …

With iconic roles in Scrubs and Clueless, we’re used to Donald Faison bringing us so much laughter. But today, Donald is bringing the tears. Seriously, this will very likely break your heart. Because while Donald is happily married to CaCee Cobb these days, she wasn’t his first wife. In 2001, he married a woman named Lisa Askey, who was a nursing student when they met. They were married for four years, and in that time, they had three children — twins Dade and Kaya, and a son named Kobe. Unfortunately, Lisa passed away this week. We don’t yet know what happened, but we do know that Donald and his children are mourning her death … and that they’re moving us to tears. Donald posted this photo, originally posted by his son Dade (we’re assuming these are the hands of Dade and his mother), and his caption was absolutely heartbreaking. “My son Dade is very brave,” he wrote. “Today he and his brother Kobe and sister Kaya lost their mother. Lisa Askey Faison.” “She and I never really saw eye to eye,” he admitted, “but one thing we did share was our love for our children. RIP Lisa. You raised three beautiful children into fine adults and I am forever grateful for that.” “May god bless your soul with light and love.” Donald also shared his son’s original tribute, which read “I just wanted to say thank you so much mom! You have been there for me when I needed you most.” “I can’t believe it has come to this but I know you are in a better place right now. I love you with all my heart and one day we shall meet again.” “You worked so hard and never gave up no matter how hard times got. R.I.P. mom and until next time!” he finished. Donald and Lisa’s twins, Dade and Kaya, just turned 18, but their younger son, Kobe, is only 16 years old. Donald is a very active father, and obviously a very caring father , so we’re sure he’ll be helping his children through what has to be a rough time. Our condolences to the whole family … they clearly lost a very special woman. View Slideshow: 22 Celebrity Dads We Love
