The 2012 Golden Globe Awards have come and gone. Homeland and Modern Family were recognized on the television side of things, The Artist and The Descendants represented in major movie categories and… … do you really care? Let’s face it: these events are all about the red carpet. That’s why THG staff members spent the majority of their day posting Fashion Face-Offs , pitting one celebrity against another in a showdown of styles. Based on those matchups, we can use actual poll results to recap the best and worst from the ceremony. WINNERS LOSERS
Kasey Kahl, a Z-list reality star best known for his stints in The Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad and Vienna Girardi, was arrested for being drunk and disorderly. $h!t went down at a club in Fresno, Calif. Way to go man. Law enforcement sources say Kahl was allegedly involved in an incident at a place called Club Habanos. So far, it’s unclear what Kahl is accused of doing wrong. He was definitely arrested though. Thanks to TMZ, we have this lovely photo, a new (and abnormally happy) addition to our celebrity mug shot gallery : Kahl was booked at a nearby police station and released a few hours after this classic mugshot. Things couldn’t have been too bad if he’s smiling like that. He just finished taping the inaugural season of VH1’s upcoming Relationship Rehab with – you guessed it – former life partner/soulmate Vienna Girardi . This is the last you’ll hear of either of them until that show premieres … probably. They’re like bad pennies the way they always turn up somewhere.
Bachelor train wreck Vienna Girardi ripped off her microphone and walked off the set of Relationship Rehab last week after producers shocked her by having her ex show up . No, not Jake Pavelka, though that would’ve done the trick too. Vienna and boyfriend Kasey Kahl, her Bachelor Pad partner in crime and the second half of the world’s douchiest couple were hammering out their issues on the show. Of course they were. But, things got awkward on Relationship Rehab (a new show debuting soon on VH1) when she was blindsided by the arrival of … Lee Smith . For those who don’t keep tabs on Vienna Girardi – we’re actually jealous of you – Lee dated V before she went on The Bachelor and got engaged to Pavelka. Lee is also the guy she was allegedly sending flirty emails to – and exchanging bodily fluids with, according to him – while she was still engaged to Pavelka. In any case, it got ugly last week. Vienna had an emotional breakdown and walked off the show, screaming at producers that she “hates” them. Ouch!! She hasn’t been back since and the show has finished shooting. It’s unclear if she violated her contract by ditching the show early, or if anyone cares, but you have to love that Vienna was surprised by such a move. She’s not smart.
Gotta love The Bachelorette rumor mill. With Emily Maynard and Jeremy Shockey apparently no longer together, and Vienna Girardi and Kasey Kahl splitting up, Emily and Kasey must be an item, right? Of course, if you believe In Touch Weekly … which proclaims Emily is now dating Vienna’s ex. They could mean a different ex, too, of course. Girlfriend gets around. Whoever it is she’s dating … she’s not. No way she would want Kasey or anyone tied to Vienna guarding and protecting anything. Emily also denied it on Twitter. Just listen to the North Carolina cutie herself: Emily Maynard : “Seriously? You’d think that with all the guys the mags say I’m dating I’d have some help with my Xmas lights! #stillnottrue #stillsingle.” Now that’s hard to believe. Emily can’t get help with her Christmas lights? Do you realize how hot this woman is? What is wrong with the men of Charlotte? We’ve been hearing rumblings that, following her breakup with Brad Womack, her quest for love may continue as the star of The Bachelorette next year. Repeat, that’s just a rumor. Unlike In Touch , we’ll call celebrity gossip what it is and not label it as fact. But we hear they are trying to woo Emily again. The sticking point? Her daughter Ricki. As a single mom, we don’t see it happening, but will they come up with a better catch among Ben Flajnik castoffs? Should Emily be the next Bachelorette?
Entrepreneur Kahl, 27, and the unemployed Girardi, 25, survived their tempestuous second stint on reality TV and say they are a better, stronger couple for it. “It#39;s hard to relive it every week, but it forced us to take a long look at our relationship, acknowledge things we need to work on like our tempers and made us stronger by the end,” says Girardi. “We really did have some great times where we weren#39;t yelling, I swear,” she adds. “But we did learn a few things. One, we shouldn#39;t
The 30-year-old hairstylist and 32-year-old entrepreneur didn#39;t cuddle up to the cash, but Money says she left the show with something more important. “I left with a great man and I don#39;t just let anyone in to my life,” she explained backstage. “I went through the hardest thing in my life losing my dad and [Graham] has been there for me every step of the way. I#39;m lucky.” But these two aren#39;t exactly official despite constant handholding and kissing. “When we#39;re in the same city,
OMG, people. OMG! On the two-part season finale of Keeping Up with the Kardashians , Kris Humphries first asked for the blessing of Bruce Jenner… and then he got down on one knee and proposed to Kim Kardashian! She said yes, but the episode concluded with Khloe quizzing Kris over his intentions. Will he go through with the wedding? What a cliffhanger! Check out two clips from the finale now and sound off: Do you think Kris and Kim will get married in any kind of insulting, lavish, ridiculous ceremony that earns the couple more money than Kris makes in a year playing professional basketball?

In a STUNNING twist that makes absolutely no difference except to Erica and Blake, Bachelor Pad made its pairings officially “couple” up on Monday night. As a result, Blake found himself further ostracized from the house. By the end, the two castoffs from The Bachelor and Bachelorette were fighting not to be castoffs again, while a new love connection began to blossom. Read about it below in THG’s official +/- Bachelor Pad recap: Blake, awkwardly, must pair with Erica because he has no choice. She feels he should express a little bit more excitement. “I’m a lot smarter than Holly is,” Erica says. “And in my opinion I am a lot prettier.” No and no. Minus 8 . Venerable BP host-pimp Chris Harrison told the partners to “get to know” each other before the competition. Advantage … who the heck knows! Plus 3 . Vienna Girardi and Kasey Kahl, as always, are overconfident. And moronic. Minus 12 . In the game, men and women answer questions about each other and then must predict what answer their partners gave. Kasey predicts that Vienna’s exes would most miss her teeth. She said boobs. Obviously, guys. Plus 6 . Mike says it would take three dates before Holly will sleep with a guy, when he – who was once engaged to Holly – needed 32. Good work, man! Minus 9 . Speaking of Mike, the show should start using images of baby animals being kicked around or something, because it would be comparably sad. Minus 5 . Kirk and Ella may not be a couple, but they play a cute one on TV! Plus 10 . Michelle Money and Graham Bunn devise a plan by which they will use standard answers to particular types of questions (i.e. ones with numerical answers). This hilariously leads to Michelle guessing Graham lost his v-card at age 7. Plus 20 . Plus 5 more because unlike Ames and Jackie , they’re still together! Michelle and Graham get half-naked in a hot tub for a private screening of What’s Your Number? Romance and product placement, together at last! Plus 5 . Blake: “Kasey and Vienna burst in, and Vienna’s saying, ‘He ripped a ring off my finger because I wouldn’t have sex with him!’ And I just said, ‘I need to go in this room, because I don’t know what to say.'” Ditto. Minus 17 . “You never said no, you said yes,” Kasey says. “Just like you told Wes. Just like you told David Good.” Wow. Vienna is totes the Bachelor Pad bicycle. Plus 8 . Minus 13 for the brief night-vision shot of those two “cuddling.” “I’m totally going to seduce him on this date. That way he’ll forget about her.” – Erica, who is as delusional about her own looks as she is Blake. Minus 11 . Erica offers to help Blake “relieve any tension.” Subtle. Plus 7 . Man, that date was painful to watch, but Plus 6 because it was clearly worse for Blake to actually be on it. He looked beyond scared / mortified by the end. “I feel like you painted yourself into this corner and you assumed that I would hop right on there.” – Blake. LOL . Plus 2 . “You’ll be known as the guy that hooked up with the craziest f—ing girl in the whole entire world… and tried to get with a girl who has a boyfriend. That’s weird.” – Erica. Touche! Plus 8 . For reasons unknown to humankind, they give the “safety roses” to Kasey and Vienna. Honestly. Worst. Strategy. Ever. But it did almost work, so Minus only 4 . Vienna wants Ella out because … she’s the anti-Vienna? Minus 3 . It was close, but Holly cast the deciding vote to evict Blake and Erica, sparing Ella, who’s probably the nicest and prettiest girl in the house. Amen. Plus 9 . EPISODE TOTAL: +7. SEASON TOTAL: +52. GONE : Erica Rose, Blake Julian, many brain cells.
She made $5 million of her sex tape. And $18 million off her wedding. Might Kim Kardashian break into the 10 figures by selling exclusive rights to her baby photos? Klint? Kameron? Kora? Let the Kim Kardashian baby name game begin! Unfortunately, we’re likely to find out soon, as Kim told People Magazine last night that she’s already contemplating children. “Being a mom is something I’ve always wanted, so I would love to be one someday,” she said, perhaps giving us an idea of why she’d want to remove all sex tape material from the Internet. For now, of course, Kim is simply a newlywed, one who is back in New York City to film a reality show. “I love being a wife,” she said . “It’s really fun, but I don’t feel any different. I still have that exciting, dating feeling with him.” [Photo: WENN.com
Vienna Girardi is in this for the money. The former winner of The Bachelor and fiancee of Jake Pavelka has ZERO qualms about admitting that her second stint on reality TV is financially motivated. “I said no at first,” she told The Huffington Post about coming on Bachelor Pad , adding that she only agreed to be on the summer show on one condition. “They told me Jake wouldn’t be,” she said. “They clued me in a few days before we started filming, but by that point I was all packed and ready to go.” Vienna need not worry about wearing a life preserver. Jake was voted off the episode before last, but not before three weeks of fireworks between himself, Vienna and her current boyfriend, Kasey Kahl. Vienna Girardi admits having Jake Pavelka around was “uncomfortable” but says she and Kasey had fun and are friends with many Bachelor Pad stars. In fact, it Erica Rose that encouraged her nose job . “It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while,” Girardi said of her new schnozz, adding that she talked about it with Rose while filming the show. “A week later, I was in Texas” to have the job done. Girardi debuted her new nose in August, but does not think that she will be going back under the knife anytime soon. “No, I’m done,” she said. As for Girardi and Kahl, viewers still don’t know how far the power couple makes it in the game, but things are definitely moving fast for them. The couple recently moved in together , but should the day come that Kahl gets down on bended knee, don’t expect to see the moment on ABC. “I had said I didn’t want him to propose on the show,” she said when asked about a ridiculous scene showing Kahl giving her a promise ring. Vienna and Kasey get freaky on Bachelor Pad . Though we won’t see Girardi get engaged on TV for the second time, she and Kahl haven’t ruled out returning to reality TV. There’s a shocker. “We’ve talked about it,” she said regarding appearing on reality TV on a Vienna and Kasey show after Bachelor Pad . “We’re not against it.” She may have competition there. Pavelka told Ryan Seacrest he’d consider appearing on The Bachelor a second time, “but not right away.” Hey, Brad Womack just went 0-for-2. Why not Jake Pavelka? Vienna won’t be watching if so. “Absolutely not,” she said.
