Courtney Robertson was photographed at the Neil Lane jewelry store in Los Angeles Sunday, returning her $80,000 engagement ring from Ben Flajnik. Guess it really is over. Will Emily Maynard be far behind? Robertson, who won Flajnik’s heart on season 16 of The Bachelor, looked glum as she handed over the ring – followed by celebrity news photographers of course. Winners of The Bachelor and Bachelorette do not pay for the rings and must return them if the relationship goes south … so pretty much twice per calendar year. The only real winner? Lane, with his PR from the show. Don’t feel too bad for Courtney, however. The 29-year-old model has already moved on with the runner-up of this summer’s Bachelorette season, in fact. Courtney Robertson and Arie Luyendyk Jr. stunned onlookers while they were spotted enjoying an intimate meal on Thursday night in Phoenix, Ariz. They were seen kissing just one week after she split with Ben. Arie was rejected by Maynard in favor of Jef Holm , who she reportedly split with as well. That split has not been confirmed by the couple, however. [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
We love “Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills” star Kyle Richards’ matrimony-dom advice ! Via People : Most of Kyle Richards’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costars don’t have a good track record when it comes to keeping their marriages intact while on the show – but Richards is certain her relationship with hubby Mauricio Umansky will not crumble in front of cameras. “I am like a lion with my family, my cubs,” Richards, 43, told PEOPLE at Thursday’s grand opening of her Kyle by Alene Too boutique in Beverly Hills. “I’m very, very, very protective. If I ever felt like something was being affected in any way by the show, I would just walk away in a millisecond,” she says. Adrienne Maloof is the latest cast member who Richards has watched go through a split. The reality star’s husband, Dr. Paul Nassif, filed to end their marriage on Aug. 28. “She’s doing as well as can be expected,” Richards says about her pal. “I think they’re both having a hard time. I think any time someone gets divorced, it’s sad – especially for the kids. I think a lot of people liked [watching their bickering on TV] and thought it was cute, but obviously there was more going on behind closed doors than we realized.” Based on her own experiences and what she’s witnessed within her social circle, Richards says, “My suggestion to anybody who [wants to do] a reality show, if you have cracks in your marriage, don’t do one of these. You have to be really, really solid in order to do a reality show like this. I feel solid.” Although her marriage isn’t a source of drama, the new store owner admits she’ll have her own share of issues play out when season 3 of Bravo’s hit series premieres on Nov. 5. “Some days I’m excited [about the new season], Richards explains. “Some days I’m scared. I’m telling you, wherever we go, problems seem to follow.” We agree with Kyle. What is the value of making reality tv cash if it costs you your family? Image via Bravo
Victoria’s Secret made a couple of billion dollars in sales last year….and I expect more out of their catalog shoots…even if they made them more like a hip hop video with helicopters and fucking Rolls Royces in the background….maybe a few hip hop video girls twerking…I mean anything but this standard, constant, catalog shoot that I jerked off to in the fucking late 80s, with a different babe I want to impregnate as the star…. I guess it is just uninspired and I like things to be a little more revolutionary…. This why change a good thing shit is shit.
In exciting Kate Upton news….she’s dating Detroit Tigers’ Justin Verlander….at least according to my homies over at CELEBUZZ …..which may not be exciting to you…but is to me…cuz I love seeing really popular and underserving models find love that they can get knocked up and fat with…living a millionaire lifestyle with pro Athlete cock….to compensate for having little talent, skills, or education other than a rockin’ set of sloppy, floppy, amazing tits I’d like to knead, pull, prod and jerk off on, but I am not a millionaire pro Athlete…. I do hope her relationship makes all her fans turn on her…giving her a bit of a reality check….reminding her that she’s replaceable and that there are hundreds of other average faced tall chicks that are just as busty, jacked up on the same hormones in the food, who haven’t had their metabolism slow down by turning 21 and who haven’t gone off to college to gain their freshman 40….cuz they won the lottery instead…. Haters gonna hate..but I’m not hating…Terry Richardson dropped some pics of her and her tits from a magazine shoot and I’m into them…
Where’s the beef? You may remember about two years ago Keyshia released a statement revealing that she’d had to kind of take a break from her family members, specifically her Mom Frankie and sisters Elite and Neffe . In recent interviews while promoting her upcoming “Family First” reality show along with hubby Daniel Gibson, Keyshia says she’s mended fences with her mom, who is making a go at sobriety, but that while Frankie will appear on some episodes of her new show — Neffe, won’t be on the program because they’re still not on the best of terms. We spoke to Neffe exclusively about how reality tv helped hurt her relationship with her sister, what life has been like since her BET show ended and why she decided to take a break from Reality TV for two years. Hit the flip for the full interview.
Did Rihanna Tell Friends She Would Marry Chris Brown? It hasn’t even been a whole month yet since lovesick loverboy Chris Brown announced to the world that he was kicking his little Karrueche kitty to the curb so he could chop down Rih-Rih drama free, and already the rumor mill is buzzing with talk of wedding plans. via Star Magazine: Rihanna has apparently been talking about making her relationship official with Chris Brown and marrying him. According to reports, the ‘Diamionds’ songstress has told her friends that she wants to elope with the 23-year-old singer now he is a single man. A source close to the singer told Star magazine: “No one close to them would be a bit shocked if they suddenly eloped. Rihanna has told her close friends point blank – I would marry Chris.” The informed insider also revealed that the Roc Nation songstress would have stood by the ‘Celebration’ singer after he assaulted in 2009 if the scrutiny from the media hadn’t reached fever pitch. “She even says she would have never left him if the media scrutiny didn’t get so bad. They’re passionate, and when they’re drunk, they’ve both made many comments about getting married.” We actually don’t think this is that far-fetched, given the drastic measures that these two have gone to to be together. Do you think Breezy and Rih-Rih will be alter-bound sometime in the near future?
A pro-life, family-values congressman, Scott DesJarlais of Tennessee is also a doctor. Who had an affair with a patient and pressured her to get an abortion. According to the Huffington Post, DesJarlais was trying to save his marriage at the time, according to his remarks on the call, made in September of 2000. According to independent sources familiar with the call, he made the tape himself. DesJarlais, who was provided a copy of the transcript by HuffPost, did not deny its contents, but in a statement through his campaign, railed against the opposition. “Desperate personal attacks do not solve our nation’s problems, yet it appears my opponents are choosing to once again engage in the same gutter politics,” he said. DesJarlais’ divorce from Susan DesJarlais, which was finalized in 2001, included allegations that he held a gun in his own mouth for hours in one instance. He also “dry fired” a gun outside his wife’s bedroom in another, allegedly. DesJarlais’ campaign vigorously denied those charges in his 2010 race against Democratic Rep. Lincoln Davis, saying they were hauled out of history for political purpose. But the new transcript paints a more damning picture of him as a philanderer willing to push one of his lovers – whom he met as a patient with a foot problem – to terminate a pregnancy. Even when he suspected he was the father. “You told me you’d have an abortion, and now we’re getting too far along without one,” DesJarlais tells the woman at one point in the call while negotiating with her. They then discuss whether he will accompany her to a procedure to end the sort of life the congressman now describes as “sacred.” “You told me you would have time to go with me and everything,” the woman complains. “I said, if I could, I would, didn’t I? And I will try,” DesJarlais says. “If I can [find] time, you’re saying you still will?” “Yeah,” the woman answers. The two bicker over when they can meet to hash out a solution, and they make clear the nature of their relationship when DesJarlais says delaying a resolution isn’t fair to his wife.

Former NFL cheerleader Sarah Jones has pleaded guilty to having sex with her 17-year-old former student while she was a teacher at a Kentucky high school. Jones will NOT serve jail time as a result. In a tearful admission in Kenton County Circuit Court in Covington, Ky., Sarah Jones , 27, pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct and custodial interference. “I began a romantic relationship while he was a student and I was in a position of authority ,” Jones said, her voice cracking as family members wiped their tears. The one-time Cincinnati Ben-Gal then detailed her dalliances with the boy. Jones admitted that the two had sex, that she sent him sexually explicit text messages and lied about the relationship to police, beginning in February 2011. The teen had been in Jones’ freshman English class in 2008, and she was his peer tutor in 2010 and 2011 before he graduated at the age of 17 this year. In accepting the plea agreement, Judge Patricia Summe granted prosecutors’ recommendation to sentence Jones to five years of diversion but no jail time. The ” female Sandusky ” won’t have to register as a sex offender, either. The diversion requires Jones to report to a probation officer and undergo drug tests. Prosecutors said they were willing to make the deal because the teen, now 18, and his family were uncooperative with them and on Jones’ side.
Dear Bossip , I’m a 32-year old woman working in corporate America and I’m doing really well for myself. Ok, I met this guy (let’s call him ‘Andy’) in 2008 through a dating website and we hit it off really well, until I found out through a mutual friend (talk about six degrees of separation), that he was “unhappily” married. I broke it off immediately, despite the fact he said that he was separated and living in another state from his wife. (Thank GOD I didn’t sleep with him). My gut told me to break it off and I did. He tried calling me, sending me flowers, and showing up at my job unannounced for almost 3 months until he gave up. I moved on with my life and focused on myself. I left the dating websites alone after I kept having one bad date after another. In late 2010, I leave my company for another company who’s offering me a much better position, better hours, and a very much better salary. But, there’s one problem: I’m going to be Andy’s manager (Can you say awkward?). He’s now seeing this woman at our company who works in a different department. Every time he gets a chance he talks about her to other people around me. I’m not going to lie, it kind of hurt because I do have feelings for him but I refuse to give him the satisfaction of knowing. About 9 months later I start to receive flowers, candy, and jewelry from a secret admirer and I’m sure it’s him because he’s the only person who knows my favorite kind of jewelry and flowers. Plus, the flowers came from the same company he used back in 2008. He finally admits it’s him and I lied to him and said I had no feelings for him, plus he’s seeing someone else and we work together, so it’s not going to work. I told him if he brings it up again I’ll be forced to let HR know. Let’s just say he stopped everything all together. About another 6 months later he quits his job and as soon as he quits his job he tries to pursue me yet again. Foolishly, I’ve been accepting his phone calls and text messages. He’s no longer seeing the other woman at my job and admitted to her that he has feelings for me. He also tells me his divorce became final in the middle of 2009, but he’s since had a son by another women (let’s call her ‘Robin’) that he’s not with. We start seeing each other again and I’m having the time of my life. He takes me everywhere. He’s very attentive and he never once pressured me for sex. He introduced me to everyone in his family, including his adorable son who I absolutely love. I feel he’s the man of my dreams. I decided to take the relationship to another level by getting physical with him and I’m not going to lie, the sex is absolutely phenomenal. Just as soon as our relationship is doing well I get a call from Robin and she tells me she’s 8 months pregnant with his child. I’m upset, but at this point in time we’ve only been seeing each other for 7 months, so it’s not like he’s cheated on me (at least not that I know of). I confronted Andy about it and he admitted to me that he knew all along she was pregnant, but was too scared to tell me in the beginning because he knew I wouldn’t want to be with him. Robin admitted that their relationship is non-existence and that Andy has never slept with her during my relationship with him. She only called me because Andy was taking too long to tell me he was having another baby. I’ve met Robin 5 times, and all 5 times we have been very cordial even though she’s admitted to me she still has feelings for Andy. Andy has since proposed to me, but I didn’t give him an answer because I’m not sure if he proposed to me because he thinks I’m going to leave him. I think it’s way too soon for marriage considering we’ve only been dating for almost 8 months. He’s assured me he has no feelings for Robin and their relationship was only a physical one. I’m not sure if I should stay with him because this is not the first time he’s omitted information of this magnitude from me. I know he loves me and I love him too. My question is should I stay with him or leave well enough alone? – Confused And In Love Dear Ms. Confused And In Love , Is there a man shortage? Really? Is there? Ladies, ladies, ladies – This is what happens when you have sex with a stalker with that bomb penis! He lays it on you and you lose all sense of sensibility because the “phenomenal sex” convolutes your judgment and you misconstrue love with sex. Ma’am, this man has been stalking you since day one when you initially broke it off four years ago. Didn’t you say that after you broke it off with him, because he lied about his relationship with his WIFE, that he started calling you non-stop, sending flowers, and showing up at your job for three months? Ma’am, that is a stalker. He’s obsessive. And, it happened yet once again when you started working with him and you started receiving these mysterious gifts in the workplace, BY THE SAME MAN you broke it off with before. STALKER! But, hold up. When you confront him about it, and you warn him about it he stops. Then, he quits, and starts the behavior, yet, again. And, you find this –ish flattering? You think this is cute? You truly are touched in the head. Why don’t you see what’s obvious and blatant? Why are you letting his nut juice damage the little brain cells you have left? Wait, a minute, let me back the hell up a bit and address these freaking lies. Let’s go ahead and call a spade a spade. He is a liar and he’s been lying to you for the past four years. 1.) Lie number one – When you initially met, on a dating website, he lied about being married. He told you he was separated and that his wife lived in another state. You discover the truth and end it. 2.) Lie number two – You work together and you start receiving mysterious gifts. You confront him, and he finally admits it’s him. 3.) Lie number three – His baby momma, Robin, confronts you and tells you that she is pregnant with his second child. You confront him, and he admits he’s known all along but didn’t tell you because he felt you would leave. And, you’ve been with him for seven months. So, in those seven months he never once thought to tell you the truth? He never once felt it was important to let you know that he was expecting a second child while laying up in you raw? Yeah, you’re having unprotected sex with him because you’re not the brightest in the bunch. So, now you’re asking me if you should proceed further with him because, in your own words you stated, “This is not the first time he’s omitted information of this magnitude from me.” So, let me ask you this, SMDH. In knowing he’s omitted very important, and key information, do you feel that you should proceed in a long term relationship with him? If he has a propensity to lie, deceive, manipulate, and omit information from you, and he’s done this over the four years of you knowing him, then what makes you think he is going to change now? Mind you, that two of those incidents involved two different women. Here’s what I want you to do: Ask to see his divorce papers from his wife. Ask Robin if he ever proposed to her, or if he at one time ever promised her that he would marry her. Then, ask yourself, “Why am I dating this man whom initially in my heart of hearts knew that he was not to be trusted? Why am I trusting him when he’s lied not once but several times? Why am I claiming love with a man who has lied to me over and over again? Why am I dating a stalker who has shown the potential to be obsessive? What is it about me that my self-esteem is so low that I’ve allowed myself to be with a man who is divorced, and is expecting a second child with a woman he claims there is nothing between them other than sex?” You claim you’re a professional career woman, but, yet your common sense clearly is something to be desired. You would actually consider being with a man who has continuously shown you who he is, and you are willing to overlook everything and dive in p***y first because he is blowing your back out? I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, d**k is addictive. It will make you lose your mind and do some asinine –ish just like that which you are doing. My grandmother told me as a young boy, “Always follow your first mind.” And, it is something I live by, and has never failed me. So, I’m passing it along to you. If your first mind was to end it with him and eliminate him from your life, then FOLLOW YOUR FIRST MIND. There is a reason your instincts, your heart, and your intuition told you to end it and leave him alone. Follow them. Uphold yourself in a respectable and dignified manner. You’re better than this, and him. Why would you knowing put yourself in a situation where Robin has told you that she still has feelings for him, she’s carrying his second child, and she and those children will forever be in his life, and if you’re with him, then they will be in yours too? You don’t have time for baby momma drama. It can get messy, ugly, and stressful. Leave. Get out now. Save yourself, your sanity, and your emotional well-being. And, why would you knowingly be with a man who cannot be honest with you? This is indicative of what you should expect with him moving forward. Nothing is going to change. Trust me. He is not going to change. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!
