Another attorney for Rodman#39;s ex-wife argued in court that Rodman owed Michelle Rodman about $850,000, but Linnea Willis, the former NBA standout#39;s attorney, challenged that figure, Noiroux said. Former NBA star Dennis Rodman has been found in contempt of court and ordered to pay $500,000 in back child support to his ex-wife, her attorney said Thursday. The flamboyant basketball player known for his off-court antics was sentenced to informal probation, his ex-wife#39;s attorney, Mary Ann
The Bachelorette star Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum married Saturday in Pasadena, Calif. Surrounded by family, friends and Bachelor alumni including Ali Fedotowsky, Emily Maynard, and Jason and Molly Mesnick, the couple said “I do” in an outdoor ceremony. Officiated by franchise host Chris Harrison. Seriously. “Today is all about our friends and family,” Ashley Hebert said. “It’s about standing with J.P., looking around at all the people we love in the same room there to celebrate our love.” And the TV crew who foots the bill … hey, do what you gotta do. The 28-year-old dentist from Madawaska, Maine, was a contestant on The Bachelor and made it to the final three in Brad Womack’s second stint on the show. She then met New York construction manager Rosenbaum, 35, on Season 7 of The Bachelorette in 2011. The couple got engaged on the season finale. Hebert and Rosenbaum are just the second couple in the franchise’s 24 seasons to make it from the final rose to the altar, following Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter in 2003. Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney also met on the show, though he initially chose Melissa Rycroft before changing his mind and asking out runner-up Molly. The Mesnicks are married and expecting their first child together. Like Mario Lopez and Courtney Mazza , who also got married yesterday, Ashley and J.P.’s nuptials will be shown December 16 in a two-hour special on ABC. Congratulations to the married lovebirds!

Emily Maynard and Jef Holm are officially over and you simply won’t believe the reason why: Because one half of this Bachelorette -based couple was in the relationship for publicity reasons only. We know! This is the first time that’s ever happened in series history! Previous reports alleged that Maynard was miserable in the relationship, turned off by Holm’s reluctance to serve as a father figure to her daughter Ricki. But sources now tell Us Weekly that Holm was simply too ” fame hungry ,” wanting to “go on Dancing with the Stars ” and to attend restaurant openings over spending time with his fiancee and her child. Considering this is the second engagement ring she has given back, the insider adds that Emily is “sad and embarrassed” by how everything fell apart with Jef. But she may get a chance to make it right with someone else! ABC producers reportedly want her back as The Bachelorette . Yes, AGAIN.
Jef Holm and Emily Maynard were surprisingly seen together over the weekend. Second thoughts perhaps? Or just the awkward pick-up-your-stuff reunion? Most likely the latter. Emily Maynard and Jef Holm broke up earlier this month. The Bachelorette stars have even confirmed it, issuing a statement last week. Nevertheless, the two were photographed together Sunday in Charlotte. Both clad in sunglasses, the reality TV pair, who were supposedly miserable together, kept grim faces as they headed to their car with Ricki, Maynard’s 7-year-old daughter. No word yet on why the couple spent time together over the weekend, or whether it will somehow lead to a reconciliation between the couple. We’d bet heavily against it. In other Bachelor news, Tony Pieper and Blakeley Shea Jones split. Sad.
Is ABC eyeing a possible return engagement (pun intended) for Emily Maynard on The Bachelorette? Maybe the third time’s the charm for the Southern Belle … According to reports, producers want her to come back next season, just days after she confirmed her breakup with Jef Holm , her final rose recipient this year. Who knows if this is legit or whether she’d have any interest, but that’s the rumor. “Emily’s ratings were huge and the producers know she is incredibly popular so they are talking with her about coming back for another try ,” a source teases. “ABC loves Emily, there are tons of Emily fans and the producers think it’d be an amazing twist that would really get people watching, even if it is haters.” “Even though she has been burned twice, they know it will be ratings gold and they know that she really likes being on TV and actually has fun on the show.” Emily Maynard got engaged to Brad Womack on The Bachelor , but that relationship fizzled fast; things with Jef fell apart almost as quickly and she is single once again. One of the men she rejected this summer, Sean Lowe , will dole out the roses as The Bachelor in January. Will Emily follow with her second Bachelorette stint in May? What do you think: Should Emily be The Bachelorette again? Yes! That’d be a great twist! Love Emily! NO way! Get someone else PLEASE! View Poll »
Emily Maynard said her breakup with Jef Holm was “difficult and heartbreaking” in a statement this week. Sources close to The Bachelorette star say it was anything but. “Emily just decided she’d had enough,” a source said, adding that she “was extremely miserable, and at her breaking point” toward the end of the relationship. “She was like ‘I’m dying here, I’m dying here’ … just over it. Enough was enough.” While Bachelorette relationships rarely work out, fans had high hopes for these two, given the apparent depth of their connection. So what went wrong, and so fast? Emily had obvious chemistry with her other two finalists – including current Bachelor -in-waiting Sean Lowe – but opted for Jef with the bigger picture in mind. Yet, a source close to Jef, who Emily Maynard chose over Lowe and Arie Luyendyk Jr. , said his desire to be a father figure to her daughter Ricki deflated over time. “He has no real connection to Ricki … he doesn’t feel close to her,” the source said, adding Jef thought Emily was an absentee parent, often calling her a “bad mom.” In addition, Emily receiving filthy texts from NFL backup Matt Leinart further eroded their love, as did her behavior at an August 4 wedding for a Bachelor staff member. “She was being very flirty,” a guest said, and Jef was “brooding.” An insider said Emily Maynard ‘s “goody-goody Southern Belle” demeanor is just for the cameras: “She flirts with other guys to help her ego. She gets off on it.” Emily, meanwhile, felt Jef wasn’t mature enough to handle a relationship. Whatever their reasons, Emily and Jef split up earlier this month, then gradually laid the foundation for the public announcement of the breakup and confirmed it Tuesday.
Emily Maynard and Jef Holm have put any lingering doubts to rest. They’ve broken up, the couple confirms in a statement to People . The official confirmations follow weeks of rumors that Emily Maynard and Jef Holm split but were simply buying time as they figured out how and when to break the news. Guess those rumors were true. In recent weeks, Holm and Maynard have spent significant time apart, despite Jef relocating to North Carolina just last month to be with Emily and her daughter. They began hinting at the breakup earlier this week. It just wasn’t to be. Emily said in her statement: “I am sorry to tell you that Jef and I have, indeed, parted ways. It was a very difficult and heartbreaking decision. “As you know, at first I wasn’t sure that I should even be The Bachelorette, but I am a hopeless romantic and I do believe in the show. I have no regrets because I did find love and shared an incredible journey with a really special person – and you know what, we tried our best because the love between us was so real. “I have nothing but respect and love for Jef and his family, but ultimately we are just at different points in our lives. “I’ve learned so much and I’m grateful for all of the support I’ve received. I’m excited and hopeful for the next chapter in my life with my daughter, Ricki. I do hope that you will respect our privacy and allow us the time we need to heal.” Jef Holm adds separately: “Meeting Emily on The Bachelorette was an incredible experience, we’ve had quite the journey. I’ve never loved someone so much in my whole life, Emily is the best person and mom I have ever met. She opened up her world to me and I fell in love with her, [her daughter] Ricki, her family and the Hendricks. “She has a great group of people who surround her. What we shared was completely genuine and real and it breaks my heart but we have decided to break up. “Emily will always have a special place in my heart. I don’t regret a single second I spent with her or Ricki. They both have been a huge part of my life. Who knows what tomorrow will bring but we are moving on to the next chapter of our lives. “Emily and I are great friends and I hope we can continue to be friends forever. Everyone wants a salacious story to break, but the truth is we are just two people who fell in love and tried our hardest to make it work. I will always love her.” Surprised? Not surprised? Despite it being The Bachelor ette, a lot of people likely didn’t see this coming, based on the poll results below … Emily and Jeff: Will it last? Yes! Jef’s the one! Emily made a great choice! No. She should’ve picked Arie. Or Sean. View Poll »
Emily Maynard and Jef Holm broke up last week. They have yet to confirm this officially, but all indications are that they have gone their separate ways. Recent activity by The Bachelorette couple certainly corroborates this sad truth: They have not written to each other or posted anything about each other since. Holm deleted his Twitter profile pic of himself and Emily. Now it’s a solo shot. Emily changed her pic to one of herself and daughter Ricki, instead of Jef. Lest you think we’re making something out of nothing, it continues: He’s also changed his Instagram photo from himself and Emily Maynard to one of himself and a friend at his organization, People Water. Emily recently posted a photo of the quote, “She is clothed with strength and dignity and laughs without fear of the future.” Jef wrote “Can’t wait to hang with my mom & sisters in AZ for the next few days. Excited to have another niece! #lovebabies.” He retweeted the following quote: “#God has a way to heal your sorrow. God has a way to touch your tomorrow. Trust him.” Even People magazine, to which the pair denied previous breakup rumors, ran an article about how they MIGHT be broken up. It’s as good as confirmed. Sad, but we’d be astonished if they were still together (or got back together) at this point. It’s only a matter of time before the official breakup statement comes out. In happier news, Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum are getting married in December.
Citing actions that were “illegal, outrageous and exceeded the bounds of human decency,” a lawsuit was filed yesterday against the website that posted the Hulk Hogan sex tape and the former best friend who allegedly leaked it. The ex-wrestler is seeking a minimum of $100 million in damages. Hulk Hogan Press Conference Hogan stood behind his attorney at a press conference in Tampa yesterday, as the lawyer outlined his client’s case against Gawker.com and against both Bubba the Love Sponge and Heather Clem. The former couple is actually seen toward the conclusion of the sex tape, talking about their role in recording it behind Hogan’s back . In the suit, as explained above, Hogan asserts he “had a reasonable expectation of privacy in his consensual, intimate activities in a private bedroom and reasonably believed that his privacy was safe and protected.” The $100 million lawsuit is being filed specifically against Gawker. It’s unclear at the moment how much Hogan is asking from Clem and… ummm… the Love Sponge. He and his legal team also asking anyone in possession of any sex tape footage to turn it over immediately.
Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum are poised to become the second-ever couple from The Bachelorette to walk down the aisle – and they’ll do it on reality TV. The couple is poised to share the dramatic new chapter of their love story with millions of viewers and Bachelor Nation when ABC televises their wedding. The December event will be titled The Bachelorette: Ashley and J.P.’s Wedding . Guess that gets the point across. The couple got engaged at the end of Ashley’s Bachelorette season in 2010. She’s since graduated from dental school at the University of Pennsylvania and is completing a specialty in pediatric dentistry at Philadelphia’s St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children. J.P. Rosenbaum , 35, is a successful construction manager in New York City. Madawaska, Maine native Ashley Hebert , 28, was rejected by Brad Womack on the prior season of The Bachelor before assuming the starring role that summer. The cute couple will join Trista and Ryan Sutter as the only couple from the show to ever get married to their chosen partner. Hey, two is better than one, right? Jason and Molly Mesnick from The Bachelor are also married – and expecting! – though he actually chose Melissa Rycroft on the show before getting together with Molly. Congratulations to Ashley and J.P. on their upcoming big day!
