Warning to men around the world: Kate Upton is back in a bathing suit. You might wanna stop operating all heavy machinery about now. The ridiculously sexy 20-year old is featured in the July issue of Vogue Spain and while we may not understand the words that accompany the article, we can easily translate the meaning behind these photos: H-O-T. The spread follows another pictorial of Upton in GQ , which – in case you some forgot – came on the heels of the Kate Upton Cat Dance . We’ll stop talking now and let you click through the following pictures…
Six roses. Four dudes. Things are getting serious on The Bachelorette. After the past two weeks saw villains Ryan Bowers and Kalon McMahon dispatched by Emily Maynard, were there any more fireworks in store this evening? Who succeeded in wooing our beloved single mom from North Carolina, and who failed to make the final cut before next week’s coveted hometown dates? Follow this link for a rundown of The Bachelorette spoilers we know thus far, including the (alleged) final three. Then read on for THG’s official +/- recap! First, Prague is on my bucket list now. Beautiful city. Plus 4 . Our Southern Belle Emily Maynard walks the streets of Prague, sans daughter Ricki, musing about the hometown dates. Hostman Chris Harrison tells the guys this week is important because next week are hometown dates. Jef with one F tells us he’s really hoping he gets a hometown date next week. We get it. Hometown dates are important. Minus 3 . Of the six guys, three of them will get a one-on-one date with Emily this week. The first date goes to A rie Luyendyk Jr ., probably because Emily wants to kiss him (loudly) a few more times. His jacket has elbow patches. Minus 3 . Emily thinks it’s shady that Arie hasn’t told her about his relationship with Cassie the producer . His failure to disclose his past relationship with someone in Emily’s inner circle is disloyal somehow to her. Chris decides to set the record straight about the rumors regarding Arie and Cassie and introduces a segment of Cassie interviewing Emily about Arie. Cassie says it’s no big deal, it was a long time ago, blah blah blah. Emily says the fact that they dated is no big deal. It’s the fact that nobody told her that they knew each other that’s the problem. Emily probes Arie to see if he’ll spill the beans about his relationship to Cassie. The deep dark secret he’s hiding? He had a tattoo of an ex-girlfriend’s name (a different Cassie) on his arm but he’s had it covered up now. Minus 12. Emily, Arie, and Cassie all sat down, off camera, to discuss this relationship. Arie said he didn’t think his relationship with Cassie Lambert mattered, which is why he didn’t tell her. Emily realizes that her feelings for Arie haven’t been affected by this revelation. They kiss some more at dinner. A lot more. Plus 10. Back at the house, the other guys all wonder what Arie and Emily are doing. Doug says they’re probably just having dinner somewhere cool. Sure, Doug, that’s all. John gets the next one-on-one date. Chris says it’s killing him inside that he’s not getting dates. Minus 4 for melodrama. Arie tells Emily that when they were in Croatia, he realized something. He loves her. Plus 20 . And then they kiss some more. And then there are actual fireworks. John and Emily go on a date and paint on the Lennon wall. Emily says she likes him as a person, but she doesn’t know how she feels about him romantically. So they put their initials on a padlock that signifies eternal love and try to fasten it on a wall in Prague. But the lock won’t stay fastened. Symbolic lock, yes? John’s not the one. Minus 3. Chris is “driving himself crazy” sitting at the house. So crazy he has to drink. He’s on edge. DUDE, you’re in PRAGUE. Stop whining and go see something cool! Minus 12. Emily’s still confused about John, so she takes him to dinner in a dungeon. Didn’t she take him to dinner in a cave already this season? John’s ex-girlfriend cheated on him, so now he’s not a starter. He’s a closer. Chris is still whining about how he didn’t get another one-on-one date. Still. He’s not getting the third one-on-one either. Because it’s a group date with Sean and Doug as his wingmen. Sean just has to see kiss Emily, so he goes running around the city of Prague looking for her. Plus 3. Conveniently, there’s a table for two at a quaint little cafe. Conveniently. Minus 2. Sean, Doug, Chris, and Emily explore dungeons and towers and Doug makes a toast to her gracious nature. She’s concerned about their chemistry. I’m concerned about their chemistry. Doug’s grazes Emily’s leg with his hand and loses his train of thought completely. He says he’s a slow mover and he really wants to kiss her. So then he does. And it’s the most awkward kiss in the history of the show. Minus 10. Doug’s going home now. There’s a little more room on the group date without Doug there. Emily gives Sean and Chris each a key. Sean’s key opens the door. Chris is going to go whine some more, I’m sure. Jef with one F gets the final date in Prague. Chris finally gets some alone time with Emily and the first thing he wants to know is why he hasn’t had a one-on-one date with her. She says something about giving him back his confidence and then gives Sean the rose. Plus 4 . Chris is pissed off over not getting the rose. Temper, temper, Chris. Minus 7. Emily thinks Jef would make a great dad since he’s a big kid himself. Emily, honey, the last thing you want is a grown kid to take care of. Minus 3 . They go to a marionette shop and after buying two marionettes, Jef leaves Emily standing in the street. He has to go back and buy a marionette for Ricki. Plus 15 . Emily and Jef go to a library to play with their puppets. And Jef uses his puppet to tell Emily’s puppet that the puppet is beautiful and that his puppet is “100…1 million percent in love” with it. I… plus? minus? I can’t decide.

Is Arie Luyendyk, Jr. , engaged to The Bachelorette ‘s Emily Maynard? Check out The Bachelorette spoilers (and promo below) for hints. The Bachelorette Season 8, Episode 7 Promo Are Chris Brown and Rihanna rendezvousing secretly in NYC hotels? Unclear, but his brawl with Drake got W.i.P. nightclub shut down . Lil Wayne wants Drake to quash the beef ASAP, meanwhile. These Kate Upton bikini photos in GQ were really hot … … and so was the behind-the-scenes video: Kate Upton GQ Photo Shoot What was the highlight of the week for you? Did we leave anything out?
The Bachelorette Emily Maynard star may be on her way to a happy ever after, but at the cost of her daughter … according to a ridiculous new tabloid report . Alleged insiders reveal her bitter fight with the parents of her late fiance (and daughter Ricki’s father) Ricky Hendrick. Which we’ve all heard about by now. “They were beside themselves when they found out she wanted to put little Ricki on TV,” an insider tells In Touch of the couple and their views on Emily. “They think it’s outrageous to put [Ricki] in the middle of a media circus.” While a friend of Emily’s says reports of a rift are untrue, other sources close to the reality star say The Bachelorette has “really strained their relationship.” Sources say Rick and Linda Hendrick tried to accept Emily’s choice to compete for Brad Womack’s affections on The Bachelor, but were opposed to this. Maybe so, but the bottom line is that there is no either/or situation of “choosing fame over her daughter” and that Emily is hardly an absentee mom. Ricki has been seen on every episode this season but one, yet has yet to meet any of the guys; Ricky’s parents and Emily’s parents both care for her. If she wants to try the ABC reality franchise a second time in search of true love – see The Bachelorette spoilers for clues on how that goes – so what? Obviously she’s a devoted and loving mom … give Emily Maynard a break.
Arie Luyendyk, Jr.’s much-discussed relationship with a producer on The Bachelorette will apparently be discussed on next week’s episode of the hit show. This has been well-documented throughout the season, but until now, it was unclear if Emily knew at all, let alone found out in the middle of the season. Numerous reports about Arie Luyendyk, Jr. and Cassie Lambert have circulated, though his friends have defended him and downplayed the relationship . What really happened and how will Emily Maynard react? The Bachelorette Season 8, Episode 7 Promo The surprising preview for next week (above) certainly makes it look like she’s not happy, though the producers may be more to blame than Arie here. According to Reality Steve , when Emily found out, she realized the show’s brain trust knew about Cassie and Arie the whole time and kept it from her. “Arie was told to never bring up the Cassie relationship to Emily and that it was already taken care of,” according to Steve, “yet, it wasn’t taken care of.” However Emily does find out about Arie and Cassie having a relationship, it remains to be seen whether it will torpedo the race car driver’s chances. The Bachelorette spoilers we’ve posted throughout the season offer some hints in that regard. What do you think? Should she kick him off the show? If she does, she’ll be parting ways with one of the favorites. Check out this clip of Arie and Emily on last night’s episode, getting cozy in Croatia … The Bachelorette Clip – Emily and Arie Kiss
Following the London fireworks that saw Kalon McMahon booted off the show a week ago, The Bachelorette and her eight remaining men hit Croatia tonight. Which log-throwing, kilt-wearing competitor dominated the manly competition? Who won over Emily with persistence in the face of defeat and earned a rose? Elsewhere, who surprisingly got the chop on tonight’s one-on-one date(s), and what surprising bombshell was dropped in the previews for next week? Follow this link for a rundown of The Bachelorette spoilers we know so far, including the (alleged) final three. Then read on for THG’s official +/- recap! Emily’s having a good hair day. Plus 9 . No Ricki this week? :’-( Minus 18 . Annnnd the first one-on-one date goes to … Travis the Egg Guy. A little anticlimactic for fans of Sean Lowe. Or Jef Holm. Or Arie Luyendyk, Jr. Minus 7 . Put Dubrovnik, Croatia on your travel bucket list BTW. Plus 14 . #BalancingStoneFail. Minus 4 . “This is a 10 on a scale of 8,” he calls their date. Who says that? First of all, scale of eight? Second of all, why not an 11 or 12 out of eight then? Minus 2 . Emily is looking for a guy with a bit of an edge … according to Ryan, who’s apparently wearing a Lulu Lemon yoga halter-top wife-beater thing. Minus 30 . Travis’ dinner seems to be going pretty well at least. Plus 6 . Ryan scores the next one-on-one date. His heart is beating out of his women’s tank top, man. Prepare for the douchepocalypse, America. Plus 10 . Emily sends Travis home after not feeling any sort of romantic connection! Plus 5 , ’cause we feel bad for the guy, but it was definitely the right call. That umbrella Travis flung – like his heart and like his precious egg – may be broken beyond repair. Plus 5 . And then there were seven … Sometimes a girl just wants to see a movie … in the name of shameless product placement courtesy of ABC and Disney-Pixar’s Brave . Minus 25 . Eye-rolling plugs aside, the movie does look pretty cute at least. Plus 7 . The guys in kilts and muscle shirts? Ditto! Plus 3 . Plus 12 for Emily’s archery skills. Minus 12 for Chris’ effort … at grammar, because we think he just said he’s “shotten an arrow only once in his whole life.” You’re shotten me Chris. Sean Lowe is so ripped, he broke the log in the competition. Plus 9 . Chris wins the Bravery Cup despite being humiliated in every event. He was a good sport and gave it his best … can you tell Emily’s a mom? Plus 11 . Emily and Sean FTW? Can we start calling them Seamily? Plus 5 . Arie’s “freaking out,” but it doesn’t appear he’s relinquished co-frontrunner status. Definitely not after that street makeout sesh. Plus 5 . Ryan has to be acting, right? There are a-holes in the world, sure … but one can be that full of himself in such comedic fashion. He’s like a caricature of your quintessential narcissistic ass clown. Well played Ryan and ABC. Plus 10 . Jef? Definite dark horse still. Plus 4 . He and Chris, who gets the rose, are angling for the final two hometown date spots at this point, with Arie and Sean the favorites. Doug and Ryan are fading fast (for very different reasons). Wolf … is still on the show we think. Emily Maynard really sparkles. Literally. Plus 6 . Ryan actually shaves that ugly patch out of his facial hair … and apparently his legs. Arie is visibly uncomfortable listening to him talk at this point. Plus 2 . Not as uncomfortable as Emily eating an oyster, but close. Minus 11 . Or when Ryan says openly that he wants her to be his trophy wife. Minus 21 . “I see in you some things I’ve always looked for.” – Ryan. Read: booty shorts. Plus 7 . When Emily’s not happy, she makes this this half-smile, half-glaring crinkle face. Case in point: Ryan reading off his ideal woman checklist. Minus 15 . Crinkle Face turns the checklist around on him, says her criteria are different, then gives him the boot! Plus 20 for Emily being on a roll tonight. “That is very shocking.” – Ryan. To you, maybe. No one else. Minus 18 . No way she’s going to go back on it, is she? Noooo, come on, don’t go back on it! OMG she’s going back on it. Okay phew, she didn’t. Plus 17 . Ryan opines that the guys must be shocked and laments that he’ll miss them. Back at the hotel, they are HUGGING and celebrating. Plus 33 . Did he just ask to be edited well by the producers? Might be wishful thinking, Ryan, after some of your comments, actions and “fashion.” Minus 20 . Eff the next Bachelor, … but please, ABC, add Ryan to the Bachelor Pad 3 cast! Plus 10 . If Ryan did get the rose, would the guys have staged an intervention, Kalon style? Would it have been warranted? Yes, yes and Plus 5 for that imagery. Arie just wants to hold her and hug her and do a lot of other things he can’t say in a confessional, oh, and she’s a great judge of character. Plus 6 . He gets a rose. We get a bit too much makeout audio. Minus 4 . Arie and Emily in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie? Plus 50 . Wolf pulls out his grandparents’ funeral cards and it’s … sweet? Poignant? Weird? Out of place? Over the top? All of the above? Eh, Plus 1 . Both Wolf and Doug are hangin’ tough in the hunt for that last rose, though the latter seems reluctant to make a move on Em. Tick tock. Minus 7 . The man tears are moving down his face in a hurry, though. Plus 3 . The final rose tonight comes down to the two of them, and then … Unsure of what do to, Emily runs to seek the sage advice of … venerable and handsome Bachelorette host-pimp Chris Harrison!! Plus 100 . “Emily … the extra rose you asked for.” Chris. SO lame. Minus 40 . Saying goodbye tonight: Travis (cut loose on one-on-one date) Ryan (canned on one-on-one date) Still alive: Sean, Jef, Arie, John “Wolf”, Chris and Doug. EPISODE TOTAL: +143. SEASON TOTAL: +142. Weird preview for next week, in which Arie’s relationship with a producer on the show is exposed and Emily makes her frustrations known! What do you think? Will he be eliminated?
Emily Maynard is clearly still bitter at Kalon McMahon, who she kicked off The Bachelorette this week. Knowing he’s in the Bachelor Pad 3 cast , she won’t watch it. McMahon, 27, will compete against previous Bachelor and Bachelorette stars like Erica Rose, Lindzi Cox, Ed Swiderski and Season 2 winner Michael Stagliano. Maynard won’t be tuning in to watch them battle each other and fans for the $250,000 prize, she announced via Twitter Thursday. Her reasoning for that? “The fact Kalon will ever be on any TV [show] again makes me want to stab my eyeballs out with dull pencils,” the single mom explained. “Too much?” Maynard sent Kalon packing Monday after Doug Clerget informed her that he had been badmouthing her and worse, her daughter Ricki, as “baggage.” “I want to go out there and rip his limbs off and beat him with them,” Maynard seethed, adding, “I just wanna go West Virginia, hood rat, backwoods on his ass.” And so she did. It was awesome. Eight guys remain in the hunt this season, which concludes July 16. The Bachelorette spoilers (and ABC’s previews) strongly hint at who her final three are. Is Emily Maynard engaged ? Reports this week suggest so, but at this point, it’s not confirmed. All we know is that there are three clear frontrunners now. Who should she choose? Vote below!
Emily Maynard got a boob job before going on The Bachelor, according to a new report that’s probably not even true and wouldn’t be that scandalous even if it were. Us Weekly claims that the 26-year-old single mom underwent plastic surgery – breast impants, veneers and a nose job – before taking part in Brad Womack’s season. All in hopes of “landing a hot husband,” allegedly. Umm … really Us? Emily in May 2012 and in her 2004 high school yearbook photo . The magazine claims Emily opted for drastic cosmetic enhancements because of long held aesthetic insecurities stemming from developing Bell’s palsy as a teen. The nerve disorder left “the right side of her face paralyzed for a few months,” continued the insider. “She was tormented and bullied in school.” Argues another Emily Maynard insider: “She is painted in this Mother Teresa light. She is a nice girl, but she isn’t as good as she is made out to be.” Because she allegedly had her nose and chest done? While Emily clearly wears a lot of makeup, and many viewers have made Botox jokes, does she really look like she got plastic surgery? Does it matter? It certainly hasn’t kept the men from swooning over her. For hints as to who makes her final three this season, follow the link for The Bachelorette spoilers !
The producers of The Bachelorette are running a tight ship this season, with little or no information thus far about who wins Emily Maynard’s final rose. At the same time, two extended previews airing at the end of last night’s episode on ABC revealed plenty of details for those who paid attention. The first preview, for next Monday’s episode, is comprised of clips entirely from Croatia … with Ryan emerging as the latest of this season’s villains . Or so it would appear. In any case, it gets much more revealing than that. The Bachelorette Episode 806 Promo The second part of the preview involves clips from later this season, and shows the guys rumored to be Emily’s final three with her in Curacao. We’ll withhold names in case you haven’t seen it or really don’t know, but you can see all three different fellas on dates with her in the tropics. Emily has clearly grown close to all three already, so it’s no surprise that she drops the obligatory “falling in love with several people” line. What is surprising? The lack of final rose ceremony clips, even of just Emily. Either all The Bachelorette season finale footage is under total lockdown in a bank vault somewhere, or we’re in for a non-traditional ending. Could it be that the Southern Belle doesn’t even hold a final rose ceremony, and chooses her mate straight from the final three, not two? Just one theory, but it may have merit. As always, stay tuned.
