Josh Murray and Amanda Stanton: Moving in Together!

Josh Murray and Amanda Stanton of Bachelor in Paradise fame have brought a little piece of Paradise home. They’re moving in together! The former winner of The Bachelorette tells Us Weekly that not only are he and Amanda still a couple, they’re going to the next level . “Things are going amazing,” says the 32-year-old, who moved from Atlanta, Ga., to Stanton’s apartment in Irvine, California, this summer. “I 100 percent believe that Amanda is somebody who I could spend the rest of my life with,” the former fiance of Andi Dorfman gushed. Stanton, 26, the mother of daughters Kinsley, 4, and Charlie, 2, is equally smitten when it comes to her future with Josh Murray. “He’s so dedicated and so loyal,” she says. “He’s sweet and thoughtful and caring – it’s not just something he turns on for the cameras.” Josh Murray, Amanda Stanton on Bachelor in Paradise It certainly didn’t come easily for the lovebirds. Since Murray first arrived in Paradise , his motives were questioned by his costars, namely his one-time Bachelorette nemesis Nick Viall. Josh and Nick, famously the final two vying for Andi’s heart on The Bachelorette , found themselves in a similar position once again here. Nick, too, longed for fair Amanda. No dice. Irked that Stanton had chosen Murray over him, he openly questioned whether Murray’s aim in pursuing her was simply to spite him. Not the worst assumption of all time, especially if you watch Bachelor in Paradise online . But moving cross-country for her feels legit. Amanda Stanton slammed Nick as the phony one, defending Josh (and her decision to pick Josh), who she has certainly stuck behind. Then there’s Evan Bass. Oh, Evan Bass … View Slideshow: Bachelor in Paradise Season 3: Who’s In?!? The oddball ED specialist had a pretty big crush on the blonde beauty as well, and went to even greater lengths to thwart Josh on TV. Clearly, Amanda must like him a lot! In Evan’s case, he warned Stanton that Dorfman had blasted him in her recent tell-all as being emotionally abusive; he called this “fiction.” Stanton says she won’t be reading Andi’s tome, because “I know Josh pretty well now myself, so it’s not something I’m worried about.” “There are two sides to every story.” View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Stars: Ranked By Relationship Length! As for whether he may be The One? “I definitely want to get married again. I do want more kids eventually. I have my hands full right now, but somewhere along the road … yes!”  Here’s wishing these two nothing but the best … even if we still think Murray’s reputation as a temperamental hothead is cause for concern.

13 Best Reality TV Show Villains

There are a lot of villains on reality TV.  They keep viewers tuned in every single week.  Their sole purpose is to cause a whole lot of drama to keep their show in the media.  We've compiled a list of 13 of the best reality TV villains! 1. Spencer Pratt Everything between Heidi Montag and Lauren Conrad was great before Spencer Pratt appeared on the scene and spread vile lies about Conrad, ruining her relationship with Montag forever. 2. Chad Johnson Chad’s antics made for good television on The Bachelorette, but he went off the deep end on Bachelor in Paradise. He threatened to kill every single person on the show! 3. Simon Cowell This music mogul has a knack for being very rude to most of the contestants. Could that be why The X Factor US cratered? Were viewers sick of the way he acted? 4. Teresa Giudice Teresa has never been one to stay quiet about her feelings. She really has no filter and that’s why she eventually flipped a table because of Danielle Staub. 5. Scott Disick Keeping Up with the Kardashians would not be the same without Scott Disick’s snarky comments. His relationship with Kourtney may be on the brink of destruction, but please keep Disick on the show! 6. The Situation The Situation seemed to think that drama always found him, but he was the one making all of it. One time, he caused an argument with Ronnie Magro and hit his head off the wall to avoid fighting Ronnie. View Slideshow

The Bachelorette: All 12 Stars Ranked By Relationship Length!

If The Bachelorette spoilers are any indication, JoJo Fletcher and her final rose winner on Season 12 of The Bachelorette are in trouble. We're not saying we wish anything negative, or that we have inside knowledge of their personal lives … but the rumors aren't great. Specific issues regarding Jordan Rodgers aside, even if you just look at overall odds, her prospects for long-term success are mixed. At best. Why do we say that? Isn't it obvious? This is a dating competition throwing two people together under a pretense that is hard to sustain. We have ranked the 12 stars of The Bachelorette based on who was most successful at finding love during her stint as ABC's queen. See how they stack up from worst to first, and tell us whether you think JoJo and JoRo will end up a success story or cautionary tale … 1. Jen Schefft Bachelorette Jen Schefft broke up with winner Jerry Ferris on the After the Rose special because she just “wasn’t feeling it.” 2. Emily Maynard Emily Maynard and Jef Holm broke up just a few months after his proposal in 2012. He was never the right guy anyway. Should’ve picked Sean. 3. JoJo Fletcher She’s engaged to Jordan Rodgers and sure seems happy about that for now. But will the Season 12 star of The Bachelorette continue her rise to the top of this list … or quickly tank to the bottom? Or somewhere in between? TBA, Bachelor Nation. T.B.A. 4. Andi Dorfman Andi Dorfman found love with Josh Murray on The Bachelorette. Unfortunately, their engagement ended after only six months or so. 5. DeAnna Pappas DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak broke up seven months after their finale aired. She went on to marry Stephen Stagliano, a high school teacher and the twin brother of former Bachelorette contestant Mike Stagliano! 6.

17 Most Shocking Bachelor(ette) Finales: Where Does JoJo’s Rank?

Chris Harrison hilariously tell us at the end of every season of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette that this is going to be epic. We're about to see the most shocking, most dramatic, emotional finale ever, he tells us. But which finales truly stand out most? Sometimes, it's the season finale with a surprising winner. Sometimes, it's a little extra drama or an epic meltdown. And sometimes (cough, Brad) there's no proposal at all. Well, we've decided to take a look back and rank the 17 most shocking finales from both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette . Where do we place last night's The Bachelorette season finale , in which JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers got engaged ? Which was the most insane in BACHELOR HISTORY? Check them out and see if you remember these – we're sure you do, if you're reading this – and if you agree with our rankings! 17. The Bachelorette Season 8: Emily Maynard Emily wanted to be considerate of Arie’s feelings on the finale of The Bachelorette Season 8, so once her mind was made up about Jef, she sent Arie home before they made it to the rose ceremony. 16. The Bachelor Season 4: Bob Guiney It’s kind of amazing how often a finale on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette ends without a proposal. In Bob Guiney’s case, he offered a promise ring to his chosen lady instead. They broke up a few months later. 15. The Bachelorette Season 6: Ali Fedotowsky Ali gave use a suprise at the end of The Bachelorette Season 6 when she sent Chris Lambton home early, incredibly confident in choosing Roberto. 14. The Bachelorette Season 12: JoJo Fletcher While there were final rose ceremony tears and a bit of drama – Robby Hayes really thought he had it in the bag, while Jordan Rodgers held back, initially, when it came to asking JoJo Fletcher’s parents for permission to propose to her – the Dallas beauty ultimately went with her heart, and the frontrunner all season (Jordan). 13. The Bachelor Season 9: Prince Lorenzo Borghese This one didn’t end in a proposal either. At the end of his season, Prince Lorenzo Borghese chose Jennifer Wilson, but rather than giving her an engagement ring, he gave her a family ring and asked if they could keep dating. 12. The Bachelor Season 14: Jake Pavelka Jake shocked fans on his season finale when he chose the season’s villain, Vienna Girardi, over fan-favorite Tenley Molzahn. View Slideshow

Jinger Duggar: Wedding Plans Revealed?!

It’s been less than a week since we first learned that Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo are engaged , but relationships move fast in Duggar land. After all, a woman only has so many child-bearing years, and this planet’s not gonna overpopulate itself, right? The engagement came just weeks after the first reports that Jinger and Jeremy were courting , and now it looks as though they’ll waste no time in getting to the altar. The couple has been tight-lipped with regard to specifics for a number of good reasons. For starters, they don’t want scores of uninvited Duggar obsessives pulling a Vince Vaughn-Owen Wilson routine. (Yes, that was our very awkward way of saying they hope to avoid wedding crashers.) Additionally, the preparations for the wedding will reportedly be a major focus of Jill & Jessa: Counting On Season 2 , and Jinger and Jeremy have likely been instructed to avoid giving too much away on social media. But naturally, the Duggar faithful have been doing some sleuthing with regard to the JinJer wedding, and the consensus seems to be that there’s a good chance Jinger will buck family tradition by not getting married in Arkansas. In fact, it’s possible she and her husband may settle in the Northeast once they’re hitched. First there was this video posted by Jeremy on YouTube last week: Jeremy Vuolo Talks Wedding Plans He never says anything about having the wedding north of the Mason-Dixon Line (Vuolo is from Philadelphia originally.), but he’s in Jersey and he’s talking about planning the wedding, which is all it took for some fans to jump to conclusions. Then there’s Jinger’s well-documented love of New York City. A fan of coffee, fashion and photography, Jinger has spoken about her love of New York and her desire to one day reside in the Big Apple. To the surprise of absolutely no one, her parents are less than thrilled by the idea: “New York City is way above what we would ever consider a city where she should move,” Michelle Duggar replied when asked about her daughters Carrie Bradshaw dreams. “Jinger didn’t mean she wanted to move to New York City. She meant that she wants to live closer to a city. We’re talking right near a city, but not New York City. Jinger means she wanted to live 15 minutes from a Wal-Mart. “We live so far out of town on 20 acres, but Jinger wants to live closer to town, so she doesn’t have to drive so far to go shopping.” Sounds like the Duggars share Ted Cruz’s views on “New York values.” Of course, they also believe that women should be subservient to their spouses, so if Jeremy wants to stick close to home, Jinger may get her wish after all.

Anton Yelchin: Parents to Sue Automaker Over Actor’s Death

On the morning of June 19,  Anton Yelchin was found dead outside his home in Studio City, California. The 27-year-old – best known for his work in the blockbuster Star Trek reboot – was killed in what’s been described as a “freak accident.” The actor’s 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee rolled backwards in his driveway and pinned the actor against a security gate. Yelchin’s autopsy indicated that he died almost instantly.  Just days after the tragedy, a class action suit was filed against Fiat Chrysler claiming that the Cherokee had a faulty gear shift that made drivers think the car is in park when it’s actually in neutral. Now, Yelchin’s parents have filed their own lawsuit against carmaker under the belief that the company’s failure to recall the vehicle directly resulted in their son’s death. View Slideshow: Anton Yelchin: A Career in Pictures According to TMZ, the Yelchins are also suing the AutoNation car retail chain , which is presumably where Anton purchased the car. An attorney for the couple would not specify the amount the Yelchins are seeking in damages, but did confirm that they’re suing “for the wrongful death of their son due to significant defects.” Considering the high-profile nature of the case and the fact that the manufacturing defect in the Cherokee has been well-documented, the company will likely seek to settle out of court. In addition to his work as Chekov in the three most recent  Star Trek films (including the one that’s currently in theaters), Yelchin had built up an impressive and greatly varied body of work for someone so young. As at home in indie films as he was in big-budget studio tentpoles, Yelchin gained the attention of critics in such beloved films as Alpha Dog , Charlie Bartlett and Green Room . Celebrities from all forms of media expressed their condolences on social media in the days following his passing. Yelchin’s friend and former co-star Justin Timberlake described him as a “genius actor, amazing human being.” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Passed Away in 2016: Gone, But Not Forgotten

Kesha Withdraws Sexual Assault Lawsuit Against Dr. Luke In California

Kesha has dropped her sexual assault lawsuit against Dr. Luke… in California! That much was confirmed on Monday, August 1 when the singer’s legal team formally dropped the lawsuit in California (there’s still one in New York). The Tik Tok singer has been battling with her former producer for the last 2-years and it’s put a strain on her music career.  She can’t release any new music without doing it through her record label, so she’s been stuck between a rock and a hard place. The star tried her best to get out of her contract in order to release music without having to work without Dr. Luke.  That’s not a huge thing to ask, considering the allegations. Right?! It just didn’t seem to work out in Kesha’s favor, so she’s decided to see out the rest of her contractual obligations in order to do her own thing.  That included her submitting 28 songs to her record label.  She even recorded them at her own expense.  She’s desperate to move on from her ordeal.  “Kesha is focused on getting back to work and has delivered 28 new songs to the record label,” Daniel Petrocelli, partner at O’Melveny & Myers, said in a statement to BuzzFeed News. “We have conveyed to Sony Music and the label Kesha’s strong desire to release the single and an album as soon as possible.” Kesha has made it her mission to stay singing. She’s been doing live shows to keep herself busy.  When a huge star like Kesha doesn’t release any music for a while, there’s always that chance that their career will be over when they try and bring new music out.  Dropping the lawsuit in California does not mean that it’s all over.  There’s a similar lawsuit in New York that’s going full steam ahead.  What do you think about the latest developments? Hit the comments below! View Slideshow: Kesha’s Legal Battle: 23 Celebs Who Joined the #FreeKesha Movement

The Bachelorette Season Finale Recap: Who Did JoJo Fletcher Choose?!

After three months of drama, on and off screen, The Bachelorette season finale is upon us once again, and this one should be something. Will  The Bachelorette spoilers  be proven correct, or will an epic twist rock JoJo, Jordan, Robby and all of Bachelor Nation to the core? If we want to channel our inner Chris Harrison for a moment, this may indeed be the most anticipated, controversial finale of all time. JoJo Fletcher, the beautiful Dallas real estate developer, has spent 10 weeks whittling down 25 suitors to Jordan Rodgers and Robby Hayes. All the while, dispatching the likes of unstable Chad Johnson, affable Chase McNary, honorable Luke Pell and more. It’s been a wild ride. So would JoJo give the final rose to Rodgers, the smooth, shady brother of NFL star Aaron Rodgers, with whom he no longer communicates? Or would it go to Hayes, another jock who shares palpable chemistry with JoJo … and allegations of playing fast and loose with the truth. Yes, both gentlemen (term used loosely) met her family as Fletcher grappled with the most difficult and consequential decision of her life. Who does she see a brighter future with – and can she trust that person with her heart, especially given the doubts surrounding either? Rodgers’ history with his own family is suspect, as is his past with Brittany Farrar . Robby and Hope Higginbotham could be even worse. So which guy got the rose, if anyone? Did they get engaged – and perhaps most consequentially of all, are they still engaged right now? Man alive, the producers sure know how to cut a slick series finale, keeping us guessing until the bitter end how things might turn out. JoJo’s family seemed to favor Robby up until the end, and he sure looked like a man fully confident that his proposal would be accepted. Jordan, meanwhile, did NOT ask JoJo’s family if he could marry her, and seemed genuinely conflicted as to what he personally wanted. One would be forgiven for feeling like a Robby Hayes upset was night until the 11th hour – and Fletcher’s final rose ceremony – Monday. Not the case. After all that, things ended almost exactly as predicted. Two hours of intense drama later,  The Bachelorette spoilers  were proven correct. As usual.  JoJo Fletcher picked Jordan Rodgers . She “wanted it to be” Robby, she told him in tears, but the heart wants what it wants. JoRo. He proposed, she said yes, and they all lived happily ever after … or did they? The $10 million-dollar question, however, remains this: Are JoJo and Jordan still together?! For weeks on end now, he says, “This has been coming too loud and too often to ignore. I trust these sources who have told me this.” “Put it this way, I’ve had way more people tell they aren’t together anymore than ones that said they are,” the Oracle of Spoilers adds. “Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, is saying that everything is great, they’re in love, and things are working out perfectly,” Steve reiterated. Asked by one Twitter fan if he was speculating about the breakup of Jordan and JoJo, the blogger stated that it’s his job “not to guess.” Sounds like a pretty definitive IT’S OVER to us. View Slideshow: The Bachelor & Bachelorette: 27 Most Stunning Exits As for why this may not square with what we see on the After the Final Rose special? They could be putting on a good front, basically. Wait until the media circus dies down, preserve some element of the facade that the show helps people fall in love, then quietly part ways. We’re not saying that’s the case, but … if it were the case, we would not be the slightest bit surprised, and the reason for this is simple: At some point, JoJo had to learn the truth. About Jordan Rodgers, about Aaron Rodgers, about Brittany Farrar, about his other ex(es), his motives for going on the show … everything. We’re not even saying we know what “it” is, only that she had to learn it. And, by virtue of there being something, or things, to learn? Let’s just say we’re talking about obstacles that are obviously complex and highly emotionally charged at best, or deal-breakers at worst. If it’s not over already … give it a few weeks. Agree? Disagree? Did JoJo make the right choice, and regardless of how you feel about that question, will they make it to the altar? View Slideshow: The Bachelor Couples: Are They Still Together?

The Bachelorette Season Finale Recap: Who Did JoJo Fletcher Choose?!

The Bachelorette Recap: Dear Mr. Fantasy Suite …

Who was sent home … at the beginning, and the end of last night’s show? Were The Bachelorette spoilers on point, or was there a major twist? Watch The Bachelorette Season 12 Episode 9 Online These were the questions on  The Bachelorette Season 12 Episode 9 , which picked up in the wake of last week’s rose ceremony cliffhanger. A cliffhanger that was indeed a heartbreaker for one suitor. Despite Luke Pell’s last ditch effort to proclaim his love for JoJo Fletcher and keep his run on the ABC show alive, he was sent home. “I started to struggle not knowing where you stood,” JoJo told Luke, who would bawl in the limo. “I just can’t believe I squandered it away.” “I had no idea that I wasn’t saying enough.” “I feel like a person that’s been hit by a train,” he added. “I thought we had a future together. I woulda been ready to propose to her today.” Laying it on a little thick, don’t you think, Luke? Don’t get us wrong, we thought Chase McNary would be shown the door before Pell. Would Chase stand a prayer against the top two? We say the top two because Jordan Rodgers and Robby Hayes were the clear favorites to earn Fantasy Suite cards and a trip to the finale. That’s exactly what happened in beautiful Thailand. Just about the only thing that could keep Jordan and JoJo off of each other was the fact that kissing wasn’t allowed in an ancient temple. They didn’t stay there for long, we’re guessing. Still, despite their chemistry and connection, JoJo can’t help but wonder if there’s something about Aaron Rodgers’ brother she’s missing. “I want to trust him, but if I trust him it scares me a lot to feel like I could possibly have my heart broken,” Fletcher said of her #1 suitor. “I’m hoping at some point all those fears go away.” Don’t hold your breath, from what we’re hearing. Aaron Rodgers vs. Jordan Rodgers: Timeline of a Football Family Feud! He says all the appropriate things, though, which is part of the issue with this guy. So smooth. Probably said this to Brittany Farrar too: “In the past month, ever since I told you I love you, when I think about that wedding day, when I think about getting on a knee, it’s with you.” Robby Hayes would not be happy to see this. He was confident that he and JoJo would end up together, even though he and  Hope Higginbotham broke up about 45 seconds before this season. We kid … and yet not. Rumors of Robby Hayes cheating would be a huge story this season if Jordan Rodgers’ past weren’t even shadier. Yet Hayes, like Rodgers, says all the right stuff: “I want you to know that I’m not like the guys in your past. I’m not gonna say those three important words and then cop out early and walk away.” JoJo’s take? “There’s a way that he looks at me that makes me just know that what he’s saying is true, and I trust him, and I believe him.” Bottom line? Chase had no shot at moving on. View Slideshow: The Bachelor & Bachelorette: 27 Most Stunning Exits Even though he told JoJo he was “100% in love” with her, she knew what she had to do and tried to let him down as easily as she could. It didn’t go well. “Now, I’m shattered,” he said. “So now love equals gets the f–k out? That was so f–k terrifying for me to say, and now look at where I end up.” Fortunately, after being sent home, he surprised Fletcher at the rose ceremony – not to beg for another shot, but to smooth things over. Actually a nice gesture from a good guy. One who just didn’t have the same connection with her as Jordan Rodgers and Robby Hayes. So among those final two men, who do you think will prevail and claim the final rose, and will JoJo regret it within a week or even less?
