Steven Tyler stole the spotlight for a few moments on American Idol last night, announcing that he and Aerosmith will be hitting the tour this summer for the band’s first tour since 2009. “We’re calling the tour the Global Warming Tour,” Tyler said like only he can. “Because of the fire. Yo tengo el fuego.” Earlier in the day, Tyler gathered at the Grove in Los Angeles – along with bandmate Joe Perry – and also revealed that the legendary group will release a new album – its first in eight years – some time later this year. “We’ve been underground for four months, doing what we do best,” said Tyler, adding that they’re two songs away from completion on the CD. But back to the tour: it will kick off on June 16 in Minneapolis, Cheap Trick will open and tickets go on sale tomorrow. Sounds like Amazing news to us! We aren’t Cryin upon hearing it! And we Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing when it comes to Aerosmith! (Sorry.)

It was date night for The Bachelor’s Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson last night. The two stepped out in L.A. at Svedka’s 2nd Annual Night of a Billion Reality Stars bash with fellow reality fixtures such as Jon Gosselin, Kyle Richards, Ali Fedotowsky, Teresa Giudice, Gretchen Rossi. Like a C-list Who’s Who right there. Clearly, after everything that’s gone down, Ben and Courtney were the center of attention. They said that’s starting to fade as they settle into normal life, however, and they really couldn’t be happier for their 15 minutes to fade away. “It’s getting close,” Flajnik said of returning to normalcy after the past year. “Now that the show’s over and the star’s fading … [it’s] wonderful for us.” “We’re getting there,” Courtney Robertson added. Although the couple have an army of skeptics, they say they’ve learned “lots” about each other since the end of the Bachelor’s filming and its aftermath. “The thing people don’t know is that when the show was airing we spent a lot of time together, and we were off almost every weekend,” Ben explained. “We got to know each other really well.” As for wedding plans? “No date set,” Robertson admitted. “We’re engaged, dating, taking it slow . We love each other very much. It took the pressure off. ” Mused Flajnik: “We kind of looked back at some of the other Bachelor relationships that didn’t work out and the reason for that is you have so much pressure.” “Pressure to move in together and set a date and all this kind of stuff … Let’s figure out who we are together before we do any of that and take the pressure off.” If they do tie the knot, it would be in “Arizona or California somewhere,” he said. Will it ever get to that point? Vote below : [Photos: Pacific Coast News]

After a controversial courtship, brief breakup and dubious reconciliation, The Bachelor stars Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson are still giving it a go. The California winemaker, 29, and the model, 28, are moving in together at the San Francisco pad Flajnik shares with two pals, according to Us Weekly . They’re in the process of looking for their own place now, but before they find that nest, the pair went on a sexy vacation to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico . During their five-day break, Courtney Robertson has been showing off her famous figure in a tiny bikini, her shaggy man dutifully by her side at the pool. Although Robertson has dealt with public disdain for her very, very bad behavior on The Bachelor, “she wants to save this relationship,” a source tells Us . Prior to the trip, an onlooker at San Francisco’s Park Tavern observed the engaged pair looking “very snuggly… Ben had his arm around her the entire time.” Robertson is still wearing her 3-carat Neil Lane ring from Chris Harrison Ben, FYI. If they’re going to crash and burn, they’re giving it their best shot first. What do you think: Any way this is gonna work? [Photos: Fame/Flynet]

The Bachelor’s Courtney Robertson isn’t exactly a woman with a pristine reputation to start with, but there are even more skeletons in her closet, a tabloid claims. Considering what we saw throughout the entire season of the show she – to the dismay of millions – won, the claims made by In Touch Weekly aren’t shocking. Whether they’re true or not is a different story. With Ben Flajnik still trying to run damage control over his obvious ass grabbing pics , Courtney has been hiding some pretty racy stuff from her fiance, as well. Chief among that stuff? Courtney Robertson nude photos. The model did a full-on naked Playboy shoot, In Touch reports, plastering a little tease of one photo on the cover, which also claims she had a boob job. The Playboy pics we can see … the boob job not so much. There’s plenty about Court that appears fake, sure, but her chest is not included on that list. In Touch , which also hints at some (less-scandalous) Emily Maynard secrets, is clearly jumping on the Bash Courtney Bandwagon, but to what end? Even if these claims are true, does anyone really care? Bottom line: Ben Flajnik watched Courtney Robertson act like a catty, bratty, borderline sociopathic beeyotch all winter, and is still with her right now. Nude pics and fake boobs aren’t about to faze him. Heck, he would probably be pretty stoked, given that he made his decision on the finale with his … Yeah. Anyway, do you think the engaged pair will last?
Eva Pigford, winner of the third cycle of America’s Next Top Model, was spotted looking fantastic as she and a friend toured the shops on Robertson Blvd in Hollywood.
Earlier this week, the first photo from Breaking Dawn Part 2 hit the Internet. And it may have been a close-up of Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen , but let’s be honest: It wasn’t really all that revealing. Fortunately, a new image is here to rectify that. Taken from a feature on the special DVD handed out last month during a Twilight Saga-related event at Target, we’ve now gotten our first glimpse at Bella Swan as a vampire. Check it out below: “It’s strange,” the red-eyed, pale-skinned Bella tells her husband in the clip from which this shot is taken. “Physically I feel like I could demolish a tank. Mentally I feel just drained.” The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 hits theaters on November 16, 2012. Check out a sneak peek at the final installment now!
It’s all come down to this. After months of speculation over The Bachelor spoilers and controversy swirling around a woman who has left an indelible mark on the show (for better or for worse), Courtney Robertson squares off with Lindzi Cox for the final rose. Who will Ben Flajnik give it to? The next three hours will reveal all as the two ladies go on their last dates with Ben in Switzerland and he makes the proposal that brings this season to an end. After he does, the After the Final Rose special will catch us up on Ben and his fiancee’s current status. We’ll be here throughout with THG’s LIVE +/- recap: Chris: It’s the most controversial finale IN BACHELOR HISTORY (this year)! Plus 11 . Swiss Alps: So beautiful. And a Fitting venue for the Ice Queen’s coronation. Plus 9 . Does ABC freaking have David Gray on retainer? Minus 13 . The MOUNTAIN gives Ben hope?! Uggggh. Minus 7 . Ben’s sister looks a little Shawntel Newton-esque. Plus 4 . Red flag? Understatement of all time. Minus 8 . Lindzi looks as cute as she has all season. Things certainly haven’t gone downhill since she rode in on a horse … dinnertime silverware faux pas aside. Plus 12 . Lindzi and Julia are talking smack about Courtney? We’re not even 15 minutes into the episode! Minus 8 for rehashing the obviously coached ABC narrative. “Red Flag” and “modeling” drinking game, anyone? Plus 6 . WHAT is Ben wearing, a shirt made of alpaca fur? Minus 5 . Courtney, in nasally baby voice: “You like me? You like me?! Aww.” Shoot us now. After we take two shots for the modeling and red flag references. Minus 9 . The creepy Courtney soundtrack definitely isn’t designed to foster the psycopath image ABC has created for her. Not at all. Nice work, sound guys. Plus 8 . Julia “will never truly know went on this season” … until she watches it unfold on network TV and becomes sick to her stomach every single week. Minus 7 . Wait, Court won her “Barb” and “Jule”? Did we see different footage? Minus only 2 , ’cause she did handle the questions well, but she’s not that pretty or charming. The Flajnik family’s take: Lindzi is a “lovely” person. Courtney is “honest,” has “depth” and there is “more of what [Ben] wants.” Advantage: Court. Minus 20 . For some reason Ben annoys us when he says things. Like “Zermatt.” Or “these women.” Or “mountain caps.” Or anything, if we’re being honest. Minus 12 . Oye, Lindzi’s roots are looking kinda rough. Still hope she wins, so Plus 1 . Lindzi can totally trust Ben “on the slopes and in life.” GROAN. Minus 19 . Promotional consideration furnished by: Zermatt Tourism! Ya think? Also sponsored by models, red flags and wool! And in about 45 minutes, Neil Lane! Plus 6 . Even when Lindzi’s annoying, she’s so darn lovable. Plus 7 . Still, this feels more like fun banter than romantic courtship. At this point she may need to pull a Tonya Harding on Courtney to have any chance. Here’s hoping! Plus 30 . Ben keeps saying he “needs more time” since things have been “moving more slowly” with Lindzi. Just because some girls don’t hijack one-on-one time or strip buck ass naked on a group date doesn’t mean they’ve failed somehow. Minus 12 . Mmmyeah Lindz is acting kinda drunk up in herrrrre. Plus 18 . Lindzi: [breathy voice] “I love you …” Ben: [nods, silent]. Minus 45 . This guy makes Brad Womack look charismatic … he can’t even fake it at this point. OMFG they’re in a helicopter!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Minus 13 . “New heights”? Are you guys kidding?! Minus 17 . Courtney Robertson Auto-Tuned Someone’s got to spoof her exulting “I got the stamp of approval” and doing lame baby talk as a sequel to this video of Courtney auto-tuned (above). Plus 9 . It’s “kiss the cook,” not the “chef,” you two. Minus 10 for this nausea. People “keep taking and taking and don’t give anything back” to Courtney? She’s the one who goes skinny-dipping and bikini-less on the third date. Minus 12 . Courtney’s “very special gift” to Ben somehow wasn’t herself naked! Plus 15 . ABC’s interns did a really a mediocre job on that scrapbook. Minus 18 . And also on styling Ben. Suspenders? A vest? AND the hair? Minus 9 . What a surprise, Ben may be “second guessing” his decision now. He can’t even sell stuff straight out of the Bachelor textbook. Which we would totally buy. Plus 5 . OOH, look at the artistic, blurry retrospective montage! Plus 4 . This is cheesy even by Bachelor standards. “I know what true love is” in this “fairy tale romance”? Honestly? Just put the cue cards away, it’ll sound more natural. Minus 7 . Courtney claims she’s “never been with a man she’s really trusted”? Ohhhh, snap. Jesse Metcalfe is totes rolling in his grave watching this right now. Plus 10 . Are they wearing capes? Is this The Bachelor: Hansel and Gretel edition? Who has elbow-length satin gloves lying around? No, no, no. Minus 12 . This is going to suck for Little Red Riding Lindzi. Minus 23 . Look at Chris, escorting her to her doom. Pimp always keeps it professional. Plus 10 . Ben’s liked her from the start, she’s pretty, she’s perfect, he’s fallen for her, but … NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Minus 270 . Geez, didn’t waste a lot of time showing her to the chopper either. Minus 38 for Ben just letting her blame herself (?) and not even looking that upset by it. Plus 40 for Lindz handling that a lot better than, say, Kacie B. might have. This is about as anticlimactic as it gets. In a word, meh . Minus 15 . “You’re my forever.” Eyes? Rolling hardcore. Sweet though. Plus 4 . She said yes! SHE SAID YES!!!! OMG!!!! How magical. Simply breathtaking. Ben and his own personal dominatrix Cruella de Vil, together forever. Minus 70 . At least she took her glove off for him to put a ring on it. Plus 14 . Think Ben’s dad is smiling down upon this? No points , just asking. Her hair does look pretty good. Plus 9 . You know when Chris is asking the audience to withhold judgment on the winning relationship at 10:02 p.m. that this has been one heck of a season. Plus 25 . Minus 125 for Ben’s facial hair. Good grief. Wait, they broke up?! Plus 80 . After watching this season play out all winter, it’s no wonder he had to “reassess.” At least he acknowledged her suckitude. Wow, Chris even brought up his alleged cheating. Nice! Plus 20 . I did not have kissing relations with that woman! Uh, you did, and your hand was on her ass no less, but Radar Online has zero credibility, so you might as well just lie and hope people believe you over them! Plus 20 for strategy. Courtney’s wedding dress shopping thing was a total PR stunt to take the heat off Ben. Unreal. Chris is right … these two are very weird. Wash . First winner of The Bachelor to come on stage to boos since … Vienna Girardi? Plus 16 . She seems semi-sincere in this interview, and it’s possible she regrets what she did on the show, but there’s something that just rubs us the wrong way. Minus 4 . They’re a couple now … “I think.” When you have to think, never a good sign. Minus 6 . When the going got tough, they split. Why? Because it was hard for him to watch the drama, and hard for her that he didn’t have her back. At the very least, they’re being honest about their trust issues and don’t seem like they’ve fully figured it out yet. Tough crowd. Plus 10 . This is one uncomfortable interview. Minus 5 . Gotta love their reaction to the immediate backlash from the “haters.” Hey, maybe it will help them put on a united front going forward? Their engagement has been so SOILED by The Bachelor . Which they chose to go on. Audience? Not too sympathetic it seems. Minus 10 . Aww, their pimp brought the ring! And it’s back on! Plus 75 for such a tear-filled, non-scripted ending to a mesmerizing special! Ben reunited with J.P. Rosenbaum? Awkward! Plus 10 . Nice vote of confidence from J.P., though. He’s right, the worst is without question behind Courtney. Whether she’ll ever earn his trust is the question. They’re opening up Bachelor Pad to random schmoes? Lame. Minus 15 . Ashley Hebert is pregnant … just kidding! Darn you, JP! Plus 10 . Chris Harrison is maybe seriously going to officiate their wedding. Plus 250 . EPISODE TOTAL: -73! SEASON TOTAL: -92! Ben and Courtney: Will it last?
