Ben Flajnik on The Bachelor: WORST Experience Ever!

Ben Flajnik proposes to either Courtney Robertson or Lindzi Cox on the March 12 season finale of The Bachelor, to be followed by the After the Final Rose special. Not a moment too soon for the star, who has been miserable throughout the filming and aftermath of the hit show and reportedly hated his reality TV experience. According to sources, Ben taped the Women Tell All episode and was taken aback by all the bitterness, and overheard griping about the show during the taping. “Ben was talking to the producers and when they asked if he would do the show again he said ‘No way! This was the worst experience of my life,’” an insider said . According to the source, Ben wasn’t acting like a happy guy who is engaged to the love of his life (read our Bachelor spoilers page to learn who we think that is). “He wasn’t animated or excited and the insider said it is because he totally regrets going on the show,” the source said. “Ben couldn’t hide how miserable he was.” “Everyone could see that he wasn’t happy.” Ben Flajnik wasn’t the only person there in a bad mood. Courtney Robertson, the only finalist to go on ATFR in recent memory, was just as miserable looking. “Courtney was complaining and moaning ‘Can we stop this now?’ She was annoyed that the women were picking on her and the process was taking so long.” “A producer had to remind her ‘You’re doing this for you and Ben.’ She agreed but was rolling her eyes the whole time; she just couldn’t wait to get out of there.” ATFR airs Monday, with the finale a week later. On the show Ben has narrowed his choices down to Lindzi and Courtney for the final rose ceremony March 12. Only one of those two has been seen wedding dress shopping , but from his attitude at the recent taping, it doesn’t seem like Ben is happily in love right now. Who do you think Ben should choose on The Bachelor?

Justin Bieber Birthday Present: A New Car!

For his 18th birthday – TODAY!!! – Justin Bieber delivered an amazing fit for his fans: he appeared on Ellen and revealed details about his upcoming new single . But the singer’s manager also made a surprise on the program and shocked his client with a present of his very own: an electric car! On behalf of himself and Usher, Scooter Braun produced the environmentally friendly Fiskar Karma in order to celebrate a celebrity who does so much for other people. Case in point, Scooter told the audience: Justin visited with a Make-a-Wish Foundation child every single day he was on tour last year, with only one rule – no cameras allowed. Watch Bieber react with genuine gratitude in the following video: Justin Bieber Birthday Surprise

Courtney Robertson: Wedding Dress Shopping in Beverly Hills!?

Didn’t see this coming: The Bachelor’s polarizing finalist, Courtney Robertson, was seen trying on wedding dresses at a Mark Zunino bridal store in Beverly Hills. Maybe a dress is just a dress? Or a cry for attention? Or a carefully coordinated, hilarious staged photo op to quell rumors that she wins and they already split? Who knows, but Ben Flajnik selected Courtney and Lindzi Cox as his final two on this Monday’s episode, with Robertson the odds-on favorite to win on March 12. You can read The Bachelor spoilers we’ve posted for what we think goes down, but Ben’s infatuation with her (and these pics) speak for themselves: Whether she’s skinny-dipping, saying “winning” every five seconds, name-dropping her profession (“modeling!”) or staging a mock wedding on her hometown date in Arizona, Courtney Robertson has been as aggressive as she is reviled. Maybe she’s just “modeling” right here? Lindzi Cox fans sure hope so. After the penultimate episode of the season, Ben said he felt “truly felt in love” with her, so perhaps there’s reason for optimism. Perhaps. Or maybe not. Doubtful. [Photos: WENN.com]

Ben Flajnik on Lindzi Cox: So In Love!!

Despite Nicki’s and Kacie B.’s best efforts on last night’s episode , Courtney Robertson won a spot on The Bachelor season finale alongside Lindzi Cox. Who will he propose to March 12, Lindzi or Courtney? Does the former have any chance against the Black Widow, or is she destined for heartbreak? The Bachelor spoilers page on THG has all the latest on that subject, but judging by comments Ben himself made in his weekly blog, it’s a toss-up. The rose-giver told People the following: On Lindzi : “She is always up for anything, and that is a really attractive quality. Speaking of attractive, sometimes I’m awestruck when looking at Lindzi.” “I find her to be so beautiful, even when I put her in a helmet and harness and dangle her from a rope. Lindzi also started to open up to me even more.” “I know it’s hard for her and she likes to go for the joke before the serious moment, but I also want to be married to someone who I can have those serious discussions with and a woman who will tell me how she really feels.” “The last few weeks, Lindzi has been doing that.” “For the first time, I truly feel I am in love with this woman and was looking forward to dinner and seeing if she was feeling the same way.” “Again, Lindzi surprised me with her openness and honesty, and I began to feel more for her in that moment than I ever had before.” On Courtney : “I love her silliness and quirkiness, but I want to see an emotional side too, and this came just in time. I was excited to see how our relationship develop even more.” “I light up every time I am around Courtney.” “We had a lot of natural, easy-going fun, and I realized how many things we have in common when it comes to things like traveling, food and music.” “But I still couldn’t stop thinking about the other women’s warnings. I felt like she deflected any of the blame, and it was starting to really bother me that she didn’t see her role in any of the drama amongst the women.” “The dinner conversation we had was exactly what I needed to hear. I was really relieved to hear Courtney admit that she could have tried harder.” “I know they were sometimes mean to her, too, but I needed to hear her say she could have done things differently and gotten much better results.” “I have tried this entire journey to be patient and more forgiving. Courtney was worth the patience and I was happy to feel like she turned a big corner.” Well? Who should Ben choose, Lindzi or Courtney?

Ben Flajnik on Kacie Boguskie Ouster: Tough Call!

Ben Flajnik sent fan favorite Kacie Boguskie packing on Monday’s hometown dates episode of The Bachelor, the third-to-last installment of the ABC show’s season. In a surprise, Courtney Robertson, Nicki Sterling and Lindzi Cox all moved on (see The Bachelor spoilers for scoop on the next two weeks) while Kacie was left in tears. In his weekly blog on People , Ben reflects on his travels to Clarksville, Tenn., Kacie’s hometown, and the turning point when the romance began to go downhill fast. The Bachelor: Week 8 Rose Ceremony, Week 9 Promo “The day portion of our date went swimmingly as usual, but as Kacie started to talk about her dad, I got nervous,” Ben writes. “I started to think he wouldn’t approve of me being so different than a man he would normally want his daughter to date.” “The evening was difficult for me. Kacie’s family was really nice and welcoming, but every time I had a conversation with one of her family members, I felt like I was disappointing them. Kacie was raised with more traditional values than I was.” “I felt like that would get between us in regards to her family. I thought about it so much that it started getting in the way of my feelings growing stronger for her.” “It was disheartening. Parents’ approval and permission is really important to me and I didn’t feel like I got that from her family, though they were kind and warm.” “This was the most difficult rose ceremony to date. It is so clich

Passive-Aggressive Obituary Takes Shot at Kids

Well, that’s one way to get in a nice dig at your siblings. This very public, passive aggressive airing of family grievances is very sad, but Josie Anello did live to be 94, and if you can get past the tragic aspect of it all, it’s hilarious. Spotted in the Tampa Tribune , this obituary takes obvious shots at two of the deceased’s three children. She was also a great great grandmother, which is pretty amazing! Odds that the author of the obit was A.J.? Fairly high.

The Bachelor Hometown Dates Recap: Who Got the (Surprising) Chop?!

There are few guarantees in life, but on The Bachelor , there are several: The word “hometown” will be dropped around 173 times per season. People will somehow say “Ben and I’s relationship” almost as often. There will be increasing drama with each passing week, and Courtney Robertson and/or the people writing for Courtney Robertson will stir that ish up. Monday was no exception as Courtney, Nicky Sterling, Kacie Boguskie and Lindzi Cox took Ben Flajnik to meet their parents in four awkward, contrived dates. Court brought her aggressive game this week, just when we thought she couldn’t make us any more uncomfortable. Could the other girls hold a candle to her? Who made the final three? Were The Bachelor spoilers right, or did Ben pull a surprise? Hint: Someone’s dad prompted a breakup many did not see coming. Here’s THG’s official +/-

The Bachelor Promo: You Can’t Fool Him, Honey!

“My mojo is risin’ and all these bitches betta look out!” – Courtney Robertson As if she weren’t public enemy #1 already, Courtney’s skinny-dipping escapades on The Bachelor last night elevated her villain status to new heights/depths. Will the overshadowed other women rise up against her? And will it matter? As Court continues to run roughshod over the rest of the competition for Bachelor Ben Flajnik, the rest of the house has had about all that it can take of her. Emily’s efforts to show that Ben’s being played (Ellen DeGeneres agrees) have fallen on deaf ears so far. Will the women stand a better chance collectively? If nothing else, it looks like they’re gonna try. Watch the promo for next week’s episode and beyond (around the six minute mark) in the video below: The Bachelor Promo: Mojo Rising
