So somehow, someway, Mrs. Smith was able to grapple her hooks into me and make me watch the last five or six episodes of this season of The Bachelor. Honestly speaking, I’ve always thought of the idea to be extremely stupid. Forcing love on one person by choosing 25 strangers they’ve never met and allowing them to spend a few hours a day with them for a few months is a great way to staff divorce lawyers in my opinion. Be that as it may, I recognize the flash and dash and why the show continues to be successful, Because watching beautiful people live the beautiful life and find true love is what each and every American dreams of. But after watching last night’s finale, I found myself turning away from the television in disgust. Enough is enough.
If you’re a frequent reader of our blog, then you know I have a sweet tooth for the horror movie genre. Not so much for the blood and guts aspect of the crap a lot of directors are putting out today but more for the original ideas and psychological aspect. I can withstand anything a movie throws at me because I know, no matter what, it’s for show. The gore, the body parts, ehh, been there done that. The Bachelor on the other hand is real life for some. You follow the characters, you learn their stories and then you pick someone who you want to “win”.
In last nights finale, there were two women left vying for Jake’s proposal and an unarguable fact was that Tenley is the sweeter of the two. Sadly, you also know that she was married once and had a douche of a husband, so if she’s not selected by Jake, the train most certainly will come off of the tracks. Anyone following The Bachelor, probably knew that Vienna was the choice before it happened and the episode clearly showed that Jake was undoubtedly going that way, but when it came time to get down on one knee, I have to admit, I actually was pulling for Tenley.
Then it happened. All of the reasons I never wanted to watch this inane show in the first place we’re broadcast across the country when Jake delivered the crushing blow to the one woman out of 25 that simply could not take it. What made it worse, was the chatter from Tenley walking up to the podium, knowing that she was the one Jake was going to pick. The horror! I found myself not even being able to watch as a woman who had her heart broken once, simply had it ripped out of her chest this time around. The tears that ran down her face almost brought me, a manly man, to tears. Just awful.
Now I’m not as naive as you may think. I know that by going on a show like this, you leave the possibility open that you fall in love and don’t make it all the way to top dog. I have to imagine, that Tenley’s family begged her not to go on this show because of this very reason. With that said, no one deserves this. Certainly not a girl as nice as Tenley. THEN, if that wasn’t enough, she got to relive the moment over and over again during the recap after-show.
Will Jake and Vienna’s love last? Long shot. Would Jake and Tenley’s love had lasted? Even longer shot. But that’s not the point. The Bachelor is a show with no chance of a happy ending and a 100% chance of a lot of broken hearts. Sure it makes for excellent television but I’ll take the happy endings every day of the week and twice on Sundays. No more Bachelor for me!
There have been many rumors floating around,that Simon Cowell has in fact proposed to his girlfriend Mezhgan Hussainy. These rumors had been somewhat put to rest by Simon Cowell’s publicist Max Clifford two weeks ago, when he said that he spoke to Simon in London and asked him: “Look, are you engaged? Is it true?” and Simon said “No! No. I’m not engaged.” Well it might have been true then, but now I’m not so sure.
In the picture to the right, you can see American Idol producer and judge, Simon Cowell (50), with his recent main squeeze, Afghan-born American Idol make up artist Mezhgan Hussainy (36), at Sony Music offices in Beverly Hills, CA. on February 28th. What’s in the top right corner you ask? Well that would be the huge diamond ring that Hussainy was sporting on that special ring finger.
That huge rock might be a statement all on it’s own… but we would still like an official announcement! Thanks in advance Mr. Cowell.
Fashion week has always been a mecca for celebrities to come and scope out the latest fashion. Of course the second best part of fashion week is mingling with all their celebrity buddies. Stars from all facets of the industry were there and here are some hot shots of fashion week’s VIP’s.
Some of the stars include CW stars AnnaLynne McCord, Jessica Szohr, Michelle Trachtenberg, Shantel VanSanten, Chase Crawford, Matthew Settle & Kelly Rutherford. Some great movie stars like Mena Suvari, Liv Tyler, Jared Letto, Ryan Phillippe, Kellan Lutz, Kristen Bell, Susan Sarandon, Demi Moore & Brooke Shields. Even some music stars like Natasha Bedingfield, John Legend, Chris Brown, Faith Hill, Lady Gaga and Cyndi Lauper came out to play.
I can only imagine that after last night’s Bachelor episode, there were women passing out left and right. Don’t worry you are not alone. Last night on The Bachelor, Ali, who left Jake for fear of being fired from her job if she stayed, pleaded Jake to come back but unfortunately was brutally DENIED! I was soooo pissed. So what’s the next step for Ali? Aahh go on the Ellen DeGeneres show and tell the world what really happened of course.
So check this out, at the end of the episode I turned to Mr. Smith and said “I bet you a million dollars that Ali will be the next Bachelorette” and today it’s all over the internet. Not only did Jake make a huge mistake by not letting Ali come back but now rumors are surfacing that Gia had another man at home (But who cares, she went home last night) and that Vienna is still in love with her ex-boyfriend in Florida, not to mention all the wild pictures of her, like licking whip cream of another girls chest.
Good luck Jake… Thanks for employing the gossip mags of America (If you pick Vienna). Which he might.

Dear John is definitely a movie I was excited about, another gem from the author of The Notebook, Nicholas Sparks. Dear John tells the story of a soldier on leave named John (played by Channing Tatum) and a gorgeous girl next door named Savannah (played by Amanda Seyfried). The two meet when Savannah drops her bag in the ocean,and John, who just happened to be surfing nearby, dove in to get it. That ladies and gentlemen, is all it takes to fall in love.
It’s not enough that these two are absolutely beautiful, Savannah also builds houses for the homeless while on spring break and wants to be a special ed teacher and John is not only fighting for his country but also surfs, fights, has a perfectly sculpted body and is altogether a sweet sensitive guy. What more can you ask for?
After the two fall in love, John has to go back to the army (Special Forces) and they begin writing each other letters back and forth. Even though John promised Savannah he will be back in a year, he is forced to reenlist due to 9/11. Thanks for ruining the love of a lifetime Bin Laden.
Then, John receives a letter he was not expecting. Savannah has moved on with someone else, an older fellow with an autistic son and is already engaged. John is heart broken and decides to reenlist for another few years. Six years have gone by and John is sent home to take care of his dying autistic father, played by Richard Jenkins. While home, John can’t resist and decides to visit the long lost love that broke up with him with a letter five years ago. And that’s when the story unravels… if you are planning to see this movie, stop reading right now because I will totally ruin it for you.
Who did Savannah marry? She tied the knot with the last person you would ever expect. The older single father (Tim) to an autistic son that she has known her whole life. Why? That’s a very good question. Savannah never stopped loving John, but felt like Tim needed her. After all he had an autistic child AND cancer. Talk about a sad story.
Savannah catches John up on the situation, and John, being the selfless romantic that he is, sells his deceased father’s enormous coin collection, makes an anonymous donation for Tim’s hospital bills and heads back to the army. A few months later, John receives a letter from Savannah, telling him about the strange donation that gave her husband two healthy months to spend with her and his son to say goodbye. Crying yet???
Well, the movie ends while a hunky goatee sporting John is tying his bicycle to a poll next to a coffee shop, where he catches Savannah’s eye. She runs out of the shop and they hug. Really… that’s it??? Ending was a little disappointing, but at that point I was sobbing so hard I really didn’t care. Seriously though, this is definitely not a date movie. Do not see it with your boyfriend, and definitely do not see it with a stranger. Call your girlfriends, bring a box of tissues and prepare to cry your eyes out. I loved it.
So I have been hearing rumors that this seasons Bachelor finale will shock and disappoint everyone. And what will disappoint everyone more than anything? Vienna. I don’t normally watch the Bachelor, or the Bachelorette for that matter. I happened to see the last few episodes of Jillian’s quest for love, and started watching Jake when he had about 10 girls left, now he’s down to 3… or is it 4?
On the last episode of The Bachelor, Jake had to get rid of one more girl, but unfortunately did not get a chance because Ali (My favorite) was given an ultimatum by her job and was forced to leave the show for fear she would get fired. Jake kept saying that it broke his heart when Ali left, but previews of the next episode suggest that Ali might be coming back. Hey… it worked for Ed didn’t it!?!
Now let’s get back to the rumors… ABC had made no effort to conceal the identity of Jake’s bride of choice and rumors have been saying that Vienna will in fact be the winner. Vienna has been proclaimed the most hated girl in the house, especially by my girl Ali. Jake however did not want to listen to gossip or other girls opinions and has kept her in the race, claiming that he’s feelings for her are real.
Personally, I think she is an idiot, she is too young, she is spoiled and she definitely does not deserve him. I really think that he is a nice descent guy, and Vienna is just so not right for him. Ali is so pretty and I think that they are definitely perfect for each other. So ABC thinks that we will be disappointed; that is not even close to what we will be. More like outraged. If he picks Vienna, I am boycotting The Bachelor. The End.
Superbowl ring that is . For those of you who just crawled out from under a rock, Superbowl XLIV (44) was played in Miami last night. Unlike back in the day, the Superbowl is no longer just a football game, it is also a day when all the hottest celebrities get together and party till the sun comes up. This year the battle of the Superbowl was not just between the New Orléans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts… the real fight was between Keeping Up With The Kardashians star Kim Kardashian (Who’s dating New Orléans Saint Reggie Bush) and The Girls Next Door/Kendra star Kendra Wilkinson (Who just married Indianapolis Colt Hank Baskett). It was the battle of the E! reality shows.
And finally Kim Kardashian gets something. I mean common, Kourtney just had a baby, Khloe just got married and Kendra got married and had a baby… it’s only fair that Kim’s boyfriend, Reggie Bush, wins the Superbowl. After all,Reggie Bush actually participated in the game, unlike Kendra’s man, Hank Baskett, who totally F’d up the only play they let him take part in.
Congrats Kim! Ahm I mean Reggie… I mean… the New Orléans Saints!!!
Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, Kim Kardashian, is officially here. Miss Kardashian was actually supposed to arrive last night, but due to some mechanical problems with the plane, Kim had to change planes and officially arrived in Miami this afternoon. Kim is in town to support her football star boyfriend, Reggie Bush, who plays for The New Orléans Saints this Sunday on Superbowl night.
Kim is very happy to be in sunny Miami, tweeting “Going to be such a fun week!”, and even mentioned that Miami so beautiful, she might have to get a little place of her own here.
The funny thing is, that E!’s other sweetheart, Kendra Wilkinson, is going to be rooting for her football star boyfriend, Hank Baskett, who is playing for the Indianapolis Cults. Now Mr. Smith is saying that Hank Baskett will probably not be playing since he had only participated in like 4 plays this year, but hey you never know.
What am I excited about? Kim Kardashian’s fabulous thigh length boots. Talk about F me boots. Miss KK is looking hot, even when she just steps off the plane. Jealous.
Now Reggie has to win. Even though Mr. Smith is routing for Indianapolis.
This is more than just the Superbowl people… this is battle of the E! reality shows.
Unlike the other serious award shows, like the Golden Globes and the SAG Awards, The Grammy’s are all about fun, fun, fun. And this year, it was all about legs, legs, legs! The Grammy’s is the one award show you can get loose, play with your outfit and make it totally Rock&Role. Our leading ladies for this evening were Miley Cyrus in a rocker teal Hervé Léger by Max Azria dress, Glee star Lea Michelle (Of Course) in a Romona Keveza one shoulder frock with a fun petal skirt, Ke$ha in a gold 20’s flapper dress, Fergie in a blue mini by Emilio Pucci and Heidi Klum in a gold sequins Emilio Pucci.
So who wins best dressed??? Well to me it’s a tie between Lea Michelle and Miley Cyrus. They both wore dresses that are perfect for them and their individual personality so it’s really tough to pick one. The bigger question is who wins best legs! And the answer is Lea Michele hands down. Even Jay Manuel said that the only crime Lea Michelle committed was hiding those amazing legs. I gotta admit, I think I’m developing a little girl crush on Lea Michele.
