The Bachelor and The Bachelorette do not lack for gorgeous women, and they do not lack for confidence when it comes to their looks. Don't believe us? Take a look at some of their most tantalizing, beauitful swimwear photos. You're welcome, basically. 1. JoJo Fletcher in Black and White The Bachelorette leading lady of 2016, JoJo Fletcher, looks amazing in this halter top. Unfortunately, Jordan Rodgers also appears in this photo. Win some, lose some. 2. Desiree in a Bikini With photos like this, Desiree Hartsock will stop your heart. Or traffic. Chris Siegfried is a lucky man. Also, can you believe they are actually still together?! They’re one of a select few couples from the series that has actually made this work! 3. The (Michelle) Money Shot The aptly-named Michelle Money was gold for the franchise. As one of the most attractive women ever to appear on it, she defied convention by becoming more likable with every appearance on The Bachelor’s many summer spinoffs. That’s hard to pull off. 4. Kaitlyn Bristowe in a Pink Bikini Kaitlyn Bristowe looks gorgeous in this bikini, though she usually prefers one-pieces. She and fiance Shawn Booth still haven’t set the date yet, but she has frozen her eggs — with the help of fertility nurse Whitney Bischoff, to whom she lost in Season 19. Wild. 5. That’s So Raven (Gates) Raven Gates may have made waves with her revelation that she’d never had an orgasm, but she’s still happily dating Adam Gottschalk after the two met on Season 4 of Bachelor in Paradise. Maybe he’s doing something right. 6. Rachel Lindsay in a Black Top Rachel Lindsay was the franchise’s first-ever black Bachelorette, and she is as gorgeous as she is smart. Some question her wisdom, after she dumped Peter Kraus for Bryan Abasolo, but no one questions her smarts or hotness. View Slideshow
It will soon be time to put away the roses and take out the sunscreen. On August 8, ABC will kick off a new season of Bachelor in Paradise, gathering a handful of favorites (and villains) in the tropics for yet another shot at love. Which past contestants from seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are on board? Scroll down for a complete list of Season 4 cast members… 1. Corinne Olympios A memorable Season 21 contestant, she often took her shirt off on The Bachelor. 2. Raven Gates She failed to win over Nick Viall on Season 21. And has claimed she’s never had an orgasm. 3. Amanda Stanton A suitor on The Bachelor Season 20, she was actually in Paradise last summer, too. 4. DeMario Jackson He just got the boot from Season 13 of The Bachelorette… for lying about his single status. Oops! 5. Robby Hayes So close! He finished second on JoJo’s season of The Bachelorette. 6. Alexis Waters Yes, the one who dressed like a dolphin to meet Nick on The Bachelor Season 21. View Slideshow
The Bachelor is just beginning with its January 2 premiere. The magical, journey-ending Final Rose ceremony has already been filmed, however, and customarily, The Bachelor spoilers have already leaked. Raise your hands if you’re surprised … anyone?! Hello? No. By this point, The Bachelor spoilers leaking before the season is almost as much of a foregone conclusion as the winners breaking up! We kid … mostly. But the show’s track record is not great. Just saying, people. Anyway, back to the lecture at hand: Nick Viall has finished filming his starring turn as The Bachelor, and we know the outcome. After being rejected by Andi Dorfman and Kaitlyn Bristowe on back-to-back The Bachelorette finales, will he finally find love this time? Oh yes. With Nick in the lead role and doling out the roses, it was finally his time (whether it lasts is another story, but we’ll get to that later). Anyway, ready to meet Nick’s final four – and the winner?! 1. Rachel Lindsay from Dallas, Texas. 2. Corinne Olympios of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 3. Raven Gates from Hoxie, Arkansas. 4. Vanessa Grimaldi of Montreal, Canada. Nick goes on hometown dates with these four on the ninth episode of the season. Thanks to Reality Steve , we know how it plays out from there. Hometown Elimination: Corinne Olympios. According to Steve, the Oracle of Bachelor and Bachelorette spoilers, insiders were surprised that Corinne made it as far as she did. Perhaps, then, it wasn’t a shock that her hometown date was the one that didn’t translate to an overnight date and the Fantasy Suite. Steve also notes that Corinne is 100 percent the “villain,” that she wasn’t liked by a lot of the other girls, and will be the talk of this season. Anyway, she’s out. And then there were three … In Episode 10, the remaining women travel to Finland, where Nick probably gets naked with all three once the cameras stop rolling. We kid … sort of. We have no idea honestly. Remember that it’s Nick we’re talking about, though, so it’s fairly likely he’s not opposed to going there with his final trio of girls. At all. Fantasy Suite Elimination: Rachel Lindsay. The first African-American contestant to make the final four (or three) will be a contender to be the next Bachelorette, and for good reason. She will not get engaged to Nick, however. The finale will pit Raven Gates against Vanessa Grimaldi, and well, the rumors were true … Nick Viall is engaged to Vanessa Grimaldi! Weeks ago, we heard that much like Ben Higgins picking Lauren Bushnell and JoJo Fletcher taking Jordan Rodgers, this was a sure bet. Vanessa was his favorite early on, according to the man with all the inside connections, and like Lauren and Jordan, she got the final rose. Now, of course, we don’t know for sure . Until it plays out on ABC, we can’t be 100.00 percent positive that the information above is correct. But we would bet heavily that it is. While the contestants’ romantic futures often fade fast, with a few notable exceptions, The Bachelor spoilers are pretty close to a lock . This doesn’t mean there won’t be drama, of course. You can take it to the bank that ABC promos, tabloids and other fan speculation will hint at various alternate outcomes all winter long. Does Raven actually win in the end? Nick leave both his finalists hanging? Does he get rejected once again in what would be an epic twist? No. Steve is not “worried about being wrong,” which is a telling sign. Speaking of signs, they don’t look so hot for the winning duo’s future. The word on this street is that Nick has been bitten by the Hollywood bug, wants to be an actor and model, and is set on moving to L.A. Doesn’t bode well if you’re Vanessa. View Slideshow: The Bachelor Season 21 Contestants: Meet Nick’s Ladies! How can we be sure they won’t last as a couple before we’ve even seen them as a couple? We can’t. Nothing is set in stone, obviously. Let’s just say that the odds are against it. Despite all the talk that Nick “earned” the job or takes the process seriously, the trappings of fake and finding love on TV are real obstacles. We wish them well, don’t get us wrong. But to state the obvious, based on what we know, we aren’t holding our collective breath for the LIVE TV WEDDING EVENT of the year. What about you, Bachelor Nation? Do you think it can possibly last? Check out the full gallery of contestants above, and tell us if you believe Nick and Vanessa even stand a chance, given his … history: View Slideshow: 7 Girls From The Bachelor Franchise That Nick Viall Has Slept With
Ariana Grande took to Twitter Tuesday to speak out against female objectification following a run-in with a fan of boyfriend Mac Miller. The pop star felt compelled to document her experience to her 43 million followers after feeling disrespected and degraded by the guy. What did he say exactly? You’ll be surprised … According to the singer, she and her rapper beau were out picking up some food when a young fan of his excitedly approached the couple. “He was loud and excited and by the time M was seated in the driver’s seat, he was literally almost in the car with us,” Grande recalls. “I thought all of this was cute and exciting,” Ari said , until he said: “‘Ariana is sexy as hell man. I see you, I see you hitting that!!!'” That made Grande feel like a sex object and left her reeling. “Hitting that? The f**k??” she continued. “This may not seem like a big deal to some of you but I felt sick and objectified. I was also sitting right there when he said it,” she said. Adding that she “felt really quiet and hurt,” Grande said that these “kinds of moments [contribute] to women’s sense of fear and inadequacy.” “I am not a piece of meat that a man gets to utilize for his pleasure,” she wrote, clarifying that her beef is most certainly not with Miller. “I’m an adult human being in a relationship with a man who treats me with love and respect,” she says of her love and musical collaborator. Nevertheless, it “hurts my heart that so many young people are so comfortable” when it comes to objectifying women “with such ease.” “We need to talk about these moments openly because they are harmful and they live on inside of us as shame,” the pop star concluded. “We need to share and be vocal when something makes up feel uncomfortable because if we don’t, it will just continue,” Ariana said. “We are not objects or prizes. We are QUEENS.” Not surprisingly, this was retweeted and liked tens of thousands of times within hours of the 23-year-old posting her missive to Twitter. In keeping with her outspoken nature, this is not the first time Grande has slammed sexist double standards toward her or other women. In Billboard’s May cover story, she ripped a UK radio station for lavishing praise on Justin Bieber and Zayn Malik for shirtless photos. The issue was not with those two male stars, she says, but that the same source was simultaneously shaming Miley Cyrus and Kim Kardashian. “If you’re going to rave about how sexy a male artist looks with his shirt off,” Ariana argued, then don’t turn around and slut-shame females. “If a woman decides to get in her panties or show her boobies for a photo shoot, she needs to be treated with the same awe and admiration.” We could not agree more at The Hollywood Gossip. In November of last year, she also lambasted two L.A. DJs for a sexist query about whether she’d choose her phone over using makeup. Grande snapped at the pair with this retort: “Is this what you really think girls have trouble choosing between? Is this men assuming that’s what girls would have to choose between?” She does not mince words, and we love it. Following her tweet about the incident with Miller Tuesday night, Grande responded to fan questions about whether she should talk. Basically, a common point fans made was that perhaps, given how overtly she uses her sexuality to sell music, she’s being “a tad hypocritical.” Not that case, Grande says, and here’s why: “That’s the thing … women expressing their sexuality is often mistaken for ‘hi come disrespect me!!!!’ .. & that’s just not the case.” “Women (and men) can express themselves however they’d like !!! even loving sex!! this is not an invitation to be disrespected.” Your final score here: Ariana 1, Haters 0.

Kylie Jenner’s “little surprise gift for the world” on Christmas Day was something so special, it was nothing short of miraculous, indeed. Especially if your name happens to be Tyga. The 19-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashians star teamed up with photographer Sasha Samsonova on the provocative short video. Their collaboration is pretty spectacular, we must say. Not just because it shows her in various states of undress while in the shower, although no one with a pulse is going to complain about that. It’s the music and artistry of the production, combined with the young celebrity’s real-life love for boyfriend Tyga, that makes it so steamy. In more ways than one. Just wait. Just. You. Wait. Set to music by Niia, it leaves very little to the imagination, but in a way that’s more romantic, emotional and sensual than you’d expect. Check it out and crack a window … it’s gonna be hot: Kylie Jenner and Tyga: Steamy in the Shower! Samsonova, the video’s director, told W Magazine that “the whole deal with this video is that it’s a very personal experience.” “It’s like you’re watching this person from a point of view that has never been seen before,” she adds. “It’s super raw footage.” In other words, what you see is what you get. Kylie’s changing appearance has resulted in much speculation over the years, but no editing or doctoring of footage can be seen here. “As soon as my shoots with Kylie come out, so many people write on my page and rant about how it’s all Photoshop, Photoshop, Photoshop.” “But the thing about this video is that there’s no post-production work. It’s only cut together. It’s very raw, and we tried to keep it that way.” “No skin retouching, nothing.” No retouching … just touching. Of each other’s bodies. Wow. Are she and Tyga dressed? Yes … for the most part. There are some obligatory shots of Kylie Jenner topless with underboob on display. Primarily, though, they wear t-shirts, albeit very, very wet ones that do a nice job of soaking up the steam and moisture from the shower. By the end, they’re dripping, saturated and topless as they hold on to each other, caressing one another passionately making out. Yes, it’s performance art, but it’s safe to say that the chemistry from the real-life couple plays a vital role in this three-minute masterpiece. You can’t fake that kind of heat. The video, filmed in November in Los Angeles, ironically is less graphic than social media pics in which her boobs are in Tyga’s face . Sometimes, less really can be more. Critics say Kylie gets naked too much for a teenager, and maybe she does, but she’s been in a committed relationship for years. As controversial as Kyga has been since the duo first went public, their passion for each other has endured, even strengthened. It may officially be winter across most of the United States as this video goes viral, but just try telling that to Kylie Jenner or Tyga. Suffice it to say, a decidedly warm, humid front has settled in over greater Calabasas, with no signs of clearing out anytime soon. Good thing, too. We all need this. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner: Her 37 Raciest, Sexiest Photos of All Time Hopefully this has provided some much-desired warmth as we wind down the cold, closing days of what has been a bitter 2016. A beacon of hope and a national treasure in trying times, Kylie has given us so much to look forward to as the calendar turns. On a side note before we sign off … If and when the long-rumored Tyga and Kylie Jenner sex tape hits the open market, we have to ask these dueling questions: 1. Can it possibly top this? 2. Could it make $100M?!

Great news, everybody! You know that whole thing about Drake possibly hooking up with Jennifer Lopez? It looks like it might not have been just an impossible dream after all! And that’s because — brace your tender, Drake-loving hearts — both of these crazy kids shared this precious photo early this morning: So they’re looking awfully cozy, right? After all, you don’t just lovingly cradle someone a couple days after Christmas if you’re “just friends” or “just working together,” you know? In this strange time, this week between Christmas and New Years, you’re not going to be all cuddled up with someone unless they’re a big part of your life. Let’s just be real about that. But this adorable little photo isn’t the only piece of evidence that things may be really heating up for Drizzy and J Lo here. No, it turns out that, over the weekend, Rihanna actually took the time to unfollow Jennifer on Instagram. Oh, the shade of it all! It’s interesting because Rihanna, of course, was with Drake for a pretty long while by celebrity standards. And judging by the way Drake talked about her , they were pretty serious. It’s also worth noting that, in the past, Rihanna and Jennifer have been very friendly. Rihanna once even sent Jen a ridiculously expensive pair of shoes she’d designed as a gift. So for Rihanna to unfollow Jennifer, especially when she should have been full of holiday cheer and all that, is pretty telling. Another fascinating little tidbit is that Jennifer was scheduled to perform at a nightclub in Miami on New Years Eve, but she’s canceled the gig. Why? Her rep explained that she needed some “personal and family time” after such a busy year. But a source told Page Six that Drake “will be in Vegas and she wants to hang out with him” so they can ring in the new year together. It’s all just so exciting, isn’t it? It’s barely been a week since the rumors began after Drake attended J Lo’s Vegas show twice in one week. He also rented out an entire restaurant in Hollywood for her, and though the word still seems to be that they’re just making sweet music together, it just seems obvious that there’s something more going on. Long live Drennifer (we’ll work on it)!

We've known for a good long while now that Chelsea Houska, the best Teen Mom out of all the Teen Moms, is pregnant with her second child . She announced in July that she and her massively adorable boyfriend ( now husband!!! ), Cole DeBoer, were expecting their first kid together, and we couldn't be more excited about a total stranger's pregnancy. (Oh, and hey, it feels important to note that while this new kid will be Cole's first biological child, he's made it clear that he considers himself a father to Chelsea's older daughter, Aubree, too.) In the months since, we've learned that the new baby will be a little boy , and that he's due to enter the world on Valentine's Day, February 14th. We've kept up with Chelsea's growing bump, we've seen all the photos from her baby shower , and it's all been just grand. But next Monday, on January 2nd, the new season of Teen Mom 2 premieres. And we will get to see so much more of this magical journey. Right now, we've got a brand new clip from the show, and if the rest of Chelsea's role in this season is anything like this, it's going to be painfully cute. In the clip, Chelsea and Cole sit Aubree down to tell her all about the pregnancy — and about her upcoming role as a big sister! See the seriously sweet video below:
