Vienna Girardi & Gregory Michael — Hand In Hand

Filed under: Jake Pavelka , Vienna Girardi Just hours after Vienna Girardi moved her ass out of Jake Pavelka ‘s home — she was already partying with the man she was rumored to be hooking up with on the side … Gregory Michael .

Vienna Girardi is a Stalker, Jake Pavelka is a Fame Whore: The Bachelor Stars’ Camps Trade Barbs

“Sometimes love just isn’t enough in a relationship.” – Jake Pavelka We don’t even have a joke for this moving quote, but The Bachelor star may be right. Especially if your fiancee is a nut job stalker, which he can attest to. Sources close to the couple say they weren’t too surprised to see Jake and Vienna break up , in large part because she didn’t give him a whole lot of space. “She was kind of stalkerish,” says a staffer who worked closely with Jake Pavelka on Dancing With the Stars . “She wanted to spend a lot of time with him.” “Everywhere he would go, she would go. Rehearsals, photo shoots, practice. She was the only significant other there sometimes … it was a little weird.” Another source says Vienna was pissed when Jake was cast on DWTS , saying she is “not a fan of reality TV” (LOL) or him being surrounded by women. A Bachelor staffer echoed the sentiment: “I don’t think anyone really expected [Jake and Vienna] to last. It seemed like more of an infatuation than love.” More specifically, Vienna went on the show because he was on it, and Jake was so smitten that he didn’t heed warnings from … well, the whole country. In any case, it all unraveled amid rumors of Vienna cheating with Gregory Michael, which she denies. Moreover, her stepmom calls Jake a fame whore. Oh yes. To hear her family tell it, Vienna Girardi was the one who out because of Jake’s undying love for the spotlight. NOTE : They met on reality TV . Her stepmom Lisa also says her relationship with Jake Pavelka ended last night around 6 p.m., and the breakup took place over the phone! Weak, J. Whose side are you on? Hold the phone, there’s plenty more from Vienna’s camp … According to her family, Vienna felt that Jake constantly abandoned her for photo shoots and other media events … instead of building a foundation. Every reality TV fairy tale needs one of those. Vienna adamantly denies ever cheating on Jake, despite earlier reports Jake was convinced she was “stepping out” on him with that dude from Greek . Girardi’s family wasn’t done either, with her family members telling TMZ that Jake is a total fraud who was only motivated by TV ratings and not love. Quoth the stepmom: “I don’t think [Jake] ever loved her … I think he picked her because she is a dramatic person and it was good for the ratings.” She also said that despite his public love-fests, “In real life, they never kissed, didn’t have a romantic relationship and he never said he loved her.” If that’s true, he is definitely the biggest fraud of all time. One thing is for sure, in any event – he won’t be holding on to any five-figure parting gifts. Vienna gave her engagement ring back to Jake when she moved out of his place this weekend, but that $50,000 rock will be headed back to ABC. Her stepmom says Vienna ditched Jake with a goodbye note … and the 3 carat Neil Lane diamond he used to pop the question on The Bachelor . Sources close to the show say Jake is required to give the ring back to the production company, and only keeps it if they end up getting married. Decent odds for the show … 13/14 total, and even Jason Mesnick probably had to buy his own for Molly Malaney after dumping Melissa Rycroft.

For Criticizing Obama, Barnicle ‘Castrated’ By Mika

Guess Mike could always get a gig with the Vienna Boys Choir . . . If MSNBC libs like Olbermann and Matthews were surprisingly critical of Pres. Obama’s speech last night, PBO can apparently count on one defender at the network: Mika Brzezinski.   So fiercely did Brzezinski go after Mike Barnicle on Morning Joe today for his criticism of the speech, that the panel agreed poor Mike had been “emasculated.”  Joe Scarborough took it a graphic step further, saying Mika had “castrated” the former Boston Globe columnist. All while protesting his “love” for the president, Barnicle did offer some stock criticism, saying PBO hadn’t been specific enough in addressing “the plight of ordinary Americans.”  That set Mika off.  Accusing him of speaking “drivel,” she continued her attack, heartfelt anger in her voice . . . MIKA BRZEZINSKI: My point is that it just seems that he can’t do anything right. And here he is, setting the path that you’re talking about, and now you’re criticizing it for it not being enough. And if he went out there and read like an encyclopedia, you guys would be saying [imitates male voice] “he’s a professor, it’s too much information.” Please.  Please. Seriously. It’s enough.  This is just drivel. I mean, come on: do you hear yourselves? Do you all hear yourselves?  It’s so knee-jerk. A bit later, the panel commented on poor Barnicle’s plight. JOE SCARBOROUGH: She tore you up. WILLIE GEIST: She tore you up. BRZEZINSKI: I haven’t even begun. SCARBOROUGH: She castrated you. Put the scalpel away! BRZEZINSKI: Would you stop? GEIST: That was downright mean. BRZEZINSKI: This is a morning show, and that is not acceptable.  That’s just wrong. SCARBOROUGH: Tina [Brown], was Barnicle not emasculated by Mika? TINA BROWN: Completely emasculated.  I mean, the guy is . . . SCARBOROUGH: It’s the end of men. BROWN: The end of men.  I’ve been holding his hand in the breaks here. GEIST: He’s been weeping quietly. SCARBOROUGH: Quivering.

The Bachelorette Recap: Ali Can’t Lego Justin Rego

Ali Fedotowsky continued to narrow the field on The Bachelorette last night, with 11 roses doled out and three dudes sent packing. It was mostly predictable stuff. Justin Rego, a.k.a. Rated R, was anything but, however. He’s getting the Vienna treatment and/or he’s a deceitful pig, depending on who you ask. Either way, wow. According to The Bachelorette spoilers , he’s not only there “for the wrong reasons,” but was dating two other women, making his tearful BS all the more awesome. THG breaks down all the action below in its plus-minus index … Cue obligatory helicopter ride and bring-them-closer-through-adversity stunt: Ali and Roberto must walk a tightrope, literally, to reach their dinner date. Minus 5 . Not even that cliched cheesiness can dampen the appeal of Roberto Martinez, however. He’s hot, speaks like 31 languages and played pro baseball. Gulp . Plus 12 . RIDE OF HER LIFE : Will Roberto Martinez take Ali on just that? Roberto asks Ali Fedotowsky if she knows how cute she is. Barf, but Plus 2 . On the group date, the guys film a music video for Barenaked Ladies. We’re fans, but Minus 6 because ABC is really scraping the bottom cross-promotional stuff. Each guy gets a scene with Ali and the true colors come out. Jonathan crumbles under pressure, Kirk pretty much mauls her and Frank gets mad jealous. Plus 3 . Kirk gets the rose, but weatherman makes the video. Minus 4 . Chris Lambton talks about the tattoo across his heart, which is his late mom’s signature. A little weird, but a sweet sentiment from an overall cool guy, so Plus 9 . The video shoot, while supremely lame, provided us with gratuitous Ali bikini, tub, pool and lingerie action, a point that certainly cannot be overlooked. Plus 10 . SEX APPEAL : The Bachelorette cranks it up to 11. Or at least like 7.5. Now for the highlight of the night: Miffed by his lack of alone time with Ali, Rated R hobbles two miles on crutches to her place. Supposedly. We doubt it. Minus 9 . You have to give the producers credit for orchestrating that, though. Him limping up during Ali’s talking head and her feigning surprise is worth a Plus 8 in itself. Plus 13 more for Rated R’s sob story about his absentee dad and his pleas for the guys to accept him, even after he blatantly (and happily) d!cked over Hunter. Speaking of Hunter, his date went nowhere due to his utter lack of game. No rose for you. Minus only 2 , because while a waste of time, Ali got the message. Running out of time, Steve sets up a picnic, but can’t open the champagne. Ali wonders why his hand doesn’t work; Steve says it’s numb. Why, Steve?! Minus 5 . Chris L. and Ali bond over flip cup. He’s totally winning. Plus 3 . Ali inadvertently outs Justin Rego to Roberto, who narcs on him to the guys, and all hell breaks loose. But they’re just pissed they didn’t think of it, so Wash . TOTAL: +29 . SEASON: +50 . The best week of the three so far this season. When Rated R draws Vienna Girardi comparisons from Ali herself, we’re speechless. Roses : Kirk and Roberto (earlier); Chris L., Jesse, Chris N., Ty, Kasey, Craig, Frank, Jonathan and … Justin. After all that, Rated R lives to fight another week! Out : Hunter (earlier); John and Steve.

Vienna Girardi to Go Dancing with the Stars?

With one Dancing with the Stars performance under her belt already after Tuesday’s finale, Vienna Girardi wouldn’t mind joining the show’s cast full-time next season. Her fiance, The Bachelor star Jake Pavelka, competed this season and danced with Vienna to – what else – “On the Wings of Love” in a special performance this week. We’re as nauseous now as we were then, but Vienna Girardi held her own out there, twirling around the floor for viewers and fellow contestants in a short exhibition. “It was great,” Jake raved. Great? Maybe not, but good enough to start speculation about Vienna joining next season’s cast. “I keep hearing that question,” she said. “When they asked me to dance, I was a little nervous, but I thought, ‘Why not? Jake had so much fun.’ [I said] I’d love to try it. I dressed like a princess. I loved it.” Jake says he won’t stand Vienna’s way. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com] “I can’t be selfish. She gave me the time. If it did come down to them asking her,” Jake Pavelka said. “We’ll see where our lives are, and if it makes sense, go for it.” She’s no Nicole Scherzinger , but she wasn’t bad out there – and if you think ABC wouldn’t resort to such stunt casting, come on. Jake was on it. Why not Vienna? For now, Vienna’s reveling in her cameo. “We only had a couple of rehearsals and I kept going, ‘I’m not ready for this! I’m going to fall! My knees are going to shake!’” “But it was a blast.” Also exciting? Vienna revealed to reporters that she’s already picked out her wedding shoes. The two haven’t set a date yet, “but I found my shoes,” Vienna said. “[They’re] Jimmy Choo and they have crystals all over them. They’re like Cinderella slippers.” Good to know, future Vienna Girardi Pavelka. Very good to know.

Ali Fedotowsky and Vienna Girardi: It’s All Good!

The Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky, whose season premiered last night, says she’s no longer feuding with nemesis Vienna Girardi. All together now … Phew. Chris Harrison, the show’s pimp-in-chief, confirmed the hatchet burying at Dancing With the Stars (which aired right after The Bachelorette season premiere ). The two ladies, who famously clashed on The Bachelor while in competition for Jake Pavelka, even “hugged each other and, said ‘Hi,'” back stage at the taping. “That’s one of the ways Ali has grown as a person,” Chris said . What, by not being a completely catty b!tch? Great job, Ali! The Bachelorette star Ali, left, and The Bachelor winner Vienna … yeah . Back in the day, Ali Fedotowsky would call out Vienna Girardi for, among other things, bragging that she’d “shake her boobs in Jake’s face,” but not any longer. “[Ali] regretted some of that,” Harrison added. “I get it. Look, in the heat of the moment, on the show, you say some things, you regret certain things, there are things you look back and might not do and that was one of them. She apologized for that.” Fedotowsky is “so happy for Jake,” Harrison went on about the new star. “She realizes now that it wasn’t meant to be, she wasn’t supposed to be with Jake.” Harrison said he thinks Vienna Girardi got a bad rap as the villain on the show, and that anyone writing her off is presumptuous. Can’t we all just get along? Apparently we can/ Jake Pavelka even posted a pic on Facebook of him, his fiancee and Ali. Oh, how times change (click here to be THG’s Facebook friend).
