My opinion on Emma Roberts is that she's a pretty little thing, she's kind of smug and conceited, and that she's still very, very young. I keep hoping that she'll grow out of her youthful "I'm better, and I know everything" attitude, but the years keep passing and she just stays the same. Lainey at LaineyGossip had an interesting take on Emma when Lainey interviewed her at Sundance this year - go here for the post. The kid sounds like a massive brat. So is it surprising that Julia Roberts' niece idolizes Gwyneth Paltrow? Not really. I can see her identifying with a woman who is one of the worst examples of Hollywood nepotism is a good role model. Anyway, Emma is profiled in the new Elle Magazine, and she has a lot to say:
Despite Emma Roberts' best efforts to carve her own swath through Hollywood rather than capitalize on her famous DNA, you just can't look at her large, gleaming, slightly lopsided smile and not be reminded of her aunt Julia. The younger Roberts credits her aunt with sparking her desire to act by bringing her to movie sets when she was little; Emma's first (uncredited) role, in fact, was as an extra in 2001's America's Sweethearts.
"I was always running around to the makeup trailer and the wardrobe trailer, trying on clothes, and letting people do my hair," she says. "I loved it."
Still, the 20-year-old, whose parents, actor Eric Roberts and teacher Kelly Cunningham, split when she was an infant, names two different leading ladies as her role models.
"Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson have made names for themselves regardless of the fact that their parents were famous," she says. "I'd like to have a career like that too."
For a former Nickelodeon tween star—she played musically inclined seventh-grader Addie Singer in the series Unfabulous from 2004 to 2007 and released a CD, Unfabulous and More, in 2005—Roberts has already built up quite a diverse résumé. Since debuting as Johnny Depp's daughter in the 2001 drug-smuggling saga Blow at age nine, she's genre-jumped between romantic ensembles (Valentine's Day, costarring her aunt), innocuous family fare (Hotel for Dogs, Nancy Drew), and gritty indies (British crime caper 4.3.2.1), while also logging cred time opposite comedy titans Alec Baldwin (Lymelife) and Zach Galifianakis, with whom she starred as a troubled teen in a mental institution in last year's sweetly low-key It's Kind of a Funny Story.
With her appearance in this month's Scream 4, as Jill Roberts, the girl-next-door cousin of Neve Campbell's character, she can check horror off the list too. "There were times when we were filming in a weird house at 2 a.m. and I'd get really spooked out," she says, "but what I've always loved about the Scream films is that they'll have you terrified one moment and laughing the next."
Just as her career begins to pick up serious steam, Roberts plans to begin college at Sarah Lawrence in the fall—"unless something big comes along." (She deferred last year, after being cast in Valentine's Day.) Like anyone in her profession, she's a movie buff—"I'm a huge Wes Anderson fan; I would faint if I met him, let alone got to work with him."
But her Twitter feed, refreshingly, name-drops the authors she's reading (Joan Didion and Chuck Palahniuk are favorites) rather than the parties she's attending.
"I think it's important to have stuff to talk about other than work," she says, admitting that she feels uncommonly mature for someone so young. Yet unlike many actresses her age, who play up their sex appeal in order to fast-forward the transition to grown-up roles, Roberts seems to delight in that wonderful, fleeting moment of being in between.
"I can still play a high school student if I want, or I can play older," she says. "I don't have to limit myself right now, so why should I?"
Yeah… she still sounds like a brat. To me, at least. I'm sure that some people will defend her, and that's fine. Maybe she'll grow into a well-adjusted, humble young woman. Or maybe it will just get worse and worse until her maniacal cackle takes over from her Aunt Julia's.
Also, here’s a thought - shouldn’t Emma be judged by the same standards as her peers? Mia Wasikowska is one year older than Emma, and Mia has never come across as bratty, smug or anything other than interesting and professional. Mia has a better career too. I’m just sayin’.
I’ve heard that Katy Perry’s parents are super religious - her dad was a “freelance” pentecostal preacher, but she’s said that they are supportive of her music career and I’ve assumed they’re somewhat liberal culturally. A profile of Katy in 2009 claimed that in the 60s her mom dated Jimi Hendrix and her dad dealt LSD with Timothy Leary, but some of you pointed out how fake and made up that sounds, like a publicist’s dream.
In an interview with Glamour UK last year, Katy joked that her mom had an inappropriately flirty relationship with her husband Russell Brand (he was just her fiance at that time). She also told Rolling Stone around that time that her parents regularly speak in tongues and claimed that “it's a secret, direct prayer language to God.” And we heard unconfirmed stories that Katy bought her mom a facelift and her dad was super excited about it. So I basically put all that together and got the impression that Katy’s family was very religious, but was happily living off some of the millions she’s siphoning to them and was fine with her career and choice of a marriage partner.
Now there’s news that Katy’s mom is shopping a book, and that she’ll state that she “disagrees” with her daughter’s choice of career. It’s probably just a mild disagreement, but it still doesn’t sit right with me.
Katy Perry’s preacher mother, Mary Perry Hudson, is shopping a book about how her pop-star daughter has impacted her Christian ministry, and admits that while she’s proud of Katy, she “disagrees with a lot of choices she makes in her career.”
Hudson shopped the proposal, seen by Page Six, to New York’s literary agents hoping to land a publishing deal. “This memoir is her story, in her own words. Mary and Keith Hudson have been Christian Evangelists long before the world every heard of Katy Perry,” the proposal begins.
Following her debut single, “Ur So Gay,” the raunchy singer’s career took off with her smash hit “I Kissed a Girl.” She flaunted bust-bearing outfits and sexy bad-boy husband Russell Brand while comparing her upbringing to “Jesus Camp” and recalling speaking in tongues and channeling messages from God. Perry admitted kissing girls before marrying confessed sex-addict Brand.
Perry told Rolling Stone last year, “Speaking in tongues is as normal to me as ‘Pass the salt’ . . . It’s a secret, direct prayer language to God. My dad speaks in tongues and my mom interprets it . . . I wasn’t ever able to say I was lucky because my mother would rather us say that we were blessed. Deviled eggs were called ‘angeled’ eggs.”
Her mother’s proposal states: “Amid a torrent of negative reports from tabloid magazines and entertainment shows, Mary Hudson wants to tell ‘her story’ and dispel a lot of rumors. Katy’s success has impacted her ministry in both negative and positive ways.
“She loves her daughter very much and is very proud of her accomplishments, but disagrees with a lot of choices she makes in her career. This memoir is to set the record straight. It is not Christian proselytizing or a Katy Perry tell-all. It is the story of Mary Perry Hudson.”
Co-writer T.L. Gray told us, “We currently have interest from a couple of different agencies, but have not signed with anyone . . . Mary also just completed a Christian book called ‘Joyful Mother’ that will be released soon from Destiny Image . . . we’ve been playing around with a few different titles.” A rep for Perry didn’t get back to us.
Back in 2008, Katy’s mom supposedly told the Daily Mail that she Katy was promoting the “sin” of homosexuality with her first single, “I Kissed a Girl.” Mary Perry Hudson is quoted as saying “Katy is our daughter and we love her but we strongly disagree with how she is conducting herself at the moment.
'We cannot cut her out of our lives as she is our child but she knows we disagree strongly with what she is doing and the message she is promoting regarding homosexuality which the Bible clearly states is a sin.
“But the Bible also promotes understanding and forgiveness, which I keep reminding myself.”
I thought those quotes had to be fake at the time, but given this latest news maybe she really said that. It’s a shame because I thought Katy’s parents weren’t so closed minded.

These are new photos of Christina Aguilera at the press conference announcing her new job as one of the judges on The Voice, the new American Idol-esque singing competition. The other judges are Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Cee-Lo Green, with Carson Daly as the host, I guess. Can I just say something? Christina looks different, and not in a good way. My first thought was that she had gotten something minor tweaked to her face, my second thought was that she had just lost a few pounds and she didn't look so puffy, and my final thought is that her wig is off-kilter. I think it's her sketchy "hairline" that's throwing me off - her hair normally doesn't "start" that far down her forehead. Also: I don't think Christina looks totally wasted, but my guess is that before she came out to pose for photos, she had three vodka martinis. Or, as Christina calls it, "an appetizer".
Christina Aguilera faced the press last night, for the first time since her botched Super Bowl song and her arrest for public drunkenness. But she wasn’t talking about either of those things.
Sporting spiked shoes and a red dress, Aguilera joined singer Cee Lo Green and Maroon 5’s Adam Levine for a press conference in Los Angeles to talk about new show The Voice, premiering April 26 on NBC. Washington Post columnist Lisa de Moraes says reporters were kept waiting for more than an hour for a 20-minute Q & A session.
Promised host Carson Daly of The Voice: “The level of talent … is leaps and bounds beyond the winners of any other competition show.”
Explaining her coaching outlook, Aguilera said: “There is no good and bad. This isn’t about tearing people down. I want to bring these people up. ”
The new twist in this vocal show is that judges will sit in big red chairs, their backs turned to the singers while they perform.
“The Voice really does stand for what it says,” said Aguilera. “Instinctually, you can judge people based on the way they look. I love that fact we get to sit here with our backs turned away from these people and completely use just one sense to hear these voices. I’m not looking for vocal acrobatics, who has biggest range [of] high and low. I’m looking forward to getting moved.”
Eh. I doubt this show will do well, but I'm not good at predicting the general public's appetite for crap. I can't stand these types of shows, but obviously, I'm in the minority. And while I think Christina's drunk, train wreck ass is being enabled by this kind of high-profile gig, I also think that the producers will be using Christina's drunk ass to pull in "buzz" for the show. Tune in to The Voice to see Christina slur her way through judging! Tune in to The Voice to see her drunkenly bust her ass as she tries to walk a straight line! Et cetera. It's going to either be a total disaster, or a heavily edited mess.
I like this news so much that I'm not even going to drop a "Waity" reference in here. Kate Middleton and Prince William have decided that they won't be doing a wedding registry at IKEA and Pottery Barn! Instead, their people updated the official royal wedding site with information about their favorite charities, and have asked people to make charitable donations in lieu of wedding gifts. But I made Kate a special hat! Oh, well. I guess the hat will be her engagement present, not her wedding present.
Royal officials say Prince William and Kate Middleton are asking for charitable donations in lieu of wedding gifts to celebrate their April 29 marriage.
The palace says that, “touched by the goodwill shown them,” the couple has selected 26 charities with particular resonance for them to benefit from a special charity gift fund.
The charities – including some based in Canada, Australia and New Zealand – represent a broad swath of issues, from support for army widows to local community foundations and the arts.
Anyone wishing to donate can go to a website and pick a beneficiary. The funds will be held in a dedicated account and grants will be distributed in partnership with the charities for maximum impact, the palace added.
I like this idea so, so much. I think it's what more couples should do for their wedding registry, especially if the couple already has money, or already has a home and all of their silverware and everything. Of course, I bet many people have already sent their gifts, right? I mean, the engagement is already four months old - they must have already gotten some nice gifts.
Considering that we've already covered Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe this morning, it makes sense to add Abbie Cornish in the mix. GQ sent us this lovely photo of Abbie - she did a shoot with the magazine to promote her roles in Limitless and Sucker Punch. Unfortunately, Abbie is just saying some junk about being a vegetarian and shooting some guns - kind of boring. I want to know what she thinks about this Ryan/baby-daddy-drama situation. Ryan allegedly (or not so) screwed around on Abbie too, and that’s why they split up last February. You know she's got some dirt.
Abbie Cornish didn’t have to do time in the art house to build a Hollywood career. Just look at her. Girls who have got that don’t need to play knocked-up smack addicts (Candy) or button down for tricky little period pieces (Bright Star). So let us celebrate the fact that she has (finally) put away serious things and decided to go a little Hollywood, playing the role of unjustly institutionalized, definitely very dangerous Sweet Pea in Sucker Punch. Nerd-core director Zack Snyder’s latest tells the trippy tale of five tough-as-nails chicks busting out of a psych ward—and forced the 28-year-old Australian actress to hit the armory for the first time in her life.
“I’m a vegetarian—I’m not the type to want to go shoot a gun,” says Cornish. “Then I actually got to the range and totally fell in love with an M4. It was kind of amazing.” Somewhere in heaven, Charlton Heston nods sagely.
As I said, meh. I think one of my biggest problems with Abbie is that she doesn't really have a distinctive "look". Whenever I see photos of her, I'm always like, "Charlize!! No, not Charlize. Maria Bello? Kate Bosworth? Who is that?" I suppose it helps Abbie as an actress to not have one distinctive look, but you never mistake Cate Blanchett for anyone else, now do you?
Oh, and in case you wanted to know who had the cover of this month's GQ:
As you know, Monica Bellucci is one of my Forever Biscuits. I could very happily live the rest of my life in a deeply committed relationship with Monica, or Emma Thompson, or both. Alas, both of my top biscuits are taken - Emma is with Greg Wise (lucky bastard) and Monica is with French actor Vincent Cassel. Vincent and Monica have been married since 1999. They have two children together. And it sounds like they're probably going to stay together too, because Monica has a very laissez faire approach to what I think of as “traditional” marital fidelity. It seems in Monica's mind, she doesn't really expect Vincent to be faithful to her if she's not around for a while. What she does expect? "Loyalty" and "elegance". Damn.
Monica Bellucci wouldn't mind her husband being unfaithful if they were apart for a while. The 46-year-old actress – who has daughters Deva, six, and 10-month-old Leonie with spouse Vincent Cassel – values respect and loyalty more in a relationship than fidelity.
She said: "Passion you can feel for the worst man you ever met. But that has nothing to do with a deeper partnership. In such a one, passion stays, but more important is confidence, respect, knowing a man is not just loyal in a sex way, but that they will be there for you. That is more important than just fidelity."
"It would be ridiculous to ask [fidelity] of him if I hadn't been there for two months. You can't ask such things as who has he been seeing, what has he been up to? It is more respectful and realistic to take the view that you'll be with me when I see you."
Ah, I say, discretion. She shakes her head. "No. I am talking about loyalty and, most important of all, elegance." She repeats the word several times, explaining what she means. Elegance, for Bellucci, isn't merely the cut of a suit, but a whole way of being in the world, of living in the present. This elegance is as French as a Gallic shrug, as Italian as a beautiful young girl on the back of a scooter zooming around Rome. It is about a passion for the moment, a sense that as long as everything is good when they are together, that they choose to be there and everything flows, then nothing else matters.
The brunette beauty insists she is still besotted with her husband, who she married in 1999, but admits there are times when they don't get along. "I think he's sexy. It's important to go on thinking that about your husband. But Vincent is not a normal man. Sometimes I love him so much, sometimes I want to kill him."
I think many Americans view this as a more "European" view of marital fidelity, but it might even be more specific to Vincent and Monica's two cultures - French and Italian - or even their joint profession, acting. Actor couples get used to being apart from each other for months at a time, and maybe Monica is just being realistic. Or maybe this is just what you have to expect when you marry a Frenchman? I don't know. All I know is that I might have a shot with Vincent, right? And Monica too!
Oh, joy! Us Weekly has put the Justin Timberlake-Jessica Biel drama on their cover this week. It makes sense, because Us Weekly was the publication with all of the big scoops on Justin's wandering dong - they were the first to report the Olivia Munn affair, they were the first to report that JT was trying to get in Mila Kunis's pants, and Us Weekly even had a big "Jessica is a clingy superfreak and Justin tells everybody that he's single" story last year. Anyway, since Justin and Jessica confirmed their split last week, most of the rumors have been about Justin's wandering dong, and the potential for a jumpoff relationship with Mila Kunis, although sources say they aren't hooking up yet. Jessica Biel's publicity team tried to play offense yesterday, leaking to Page Six that Biel had done the dumping - and no one is buying. So… what is Us Weekly's cover story all about? How Justin was absolutely miserable with Jessica, and how he "had been aggressively trying to end things" for a long time. See, this is the kind of story that makes me have sympathy for him.
They just weren’t in synch. In a statement to UsMagazine.com last Thursday, reps for Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel said the pair “mutually have decided to part ways.”
The harsh truth: Timberlake, 30, “had been aggressively trying to end things” with the actress, 29, since the Golden Globes Jan. 16, one source close to the singer tells the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday.
What’s more, the pal adds, “he hasn’t been happy with Jessica for close to two years.” (The couple got together in January 2007, shortly after Timberlake’s split from Cameron Diaz.)
“You’d be surprised at how soon the love was lost on this one,” the friend continues. "Justin said he was miserable.”
Timberlake finally fessed up to his feelings about the relationship shortly after his Jan. 31 birthday. “He just said he didn’t want to marry her and it didn’t feel right,” another source says. Biel, the source says, was blindsided. “It just stung her in the heart.”
But even in that final “talk,” Timberlake didn’t come clean about his rampant affairs with other women (including actress Olivia Munn, among others.) “He didn’t admit the cheating, even though we all knew it,” the insider says.
For much more on the big-time breakup — why Biel never “believed” stories of his cheating, how Timberlake partied the day of the split announcement and more — pick up the new Us Weekly, on stands now.
I buy this. I buy all of it. To make matters worse (or more hilarious), Us Weekly must have contacted Jessica's publicist about this cover story, and Biel decided to not even fight with that publication. Instead, Biel and her publicity team leaked this to People Magazine… and it was even published before Us Weekly released their story online! Like, it's Biel's pre-emptive strike. And I'm still not buying Biel's version:
Friends of Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have already shot down rumors that the couple’s recent breakup was caused by cheating. Nor was it caused by a discussion of marriage, friends of the two tell PEOPLE.
“The topic of marriage wasn’t the catalyst or final straw that broke up the relationship,” says a Timberlake friend, responding to rumors that Biel, 29, pressured Timberlake, 30, to rush down the aisle.
Contrary to some reports, “there was no ring shopping,” says a source close to Biel. “She wasn’t even thinking about marriage. That didn’t play a part in their breakup at all.”
In the wake of the split, Timberlake “is upset,” says his friend. “They always spent vacations together. They always spent down time together. He was invested in her, in her friends and family.”
Continues the friend: “He was invested in their relationship on a lot of different levels. After four years it’s just not easy to walk away from it.”
You know who the "friends" are, right? They're Jessica and her publicist! Worst. Pre-emptive. Strike. Ever. I don't buy that Justin's wandering dong wasn't a big factor in the breakup, because I think Justin did the dumping and I think he really wants a new girlfriend, rather than just some semi-private hookups. And Biel can tell herself that he was "invested" in the relationship, but at the end of the day, he doesn't give a crap. He really doesn't.

Can you believe Reese Witherspoon is getting married again? I thought that she’d be one of those women who stays engaged for a long time and then breaks it off when she realizes she’s better off not making it official. Reese is a traditional type, though, and she’s been very happy with her talent agent boyfriend, Jim Toth, for over a year. It’s time for them and Reese is going to have a romantic white wedding at home. Radar Online reports that she’s planning a small-ish affair at her estate in Ojai, California for March 26 with around 100 guests.
Reese Witherspoon is wasting no time making her union to Jim Toth official. RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal that the Oscar winning actress will be walking down the aisle and trading wedding vows with the 40-year-old mega-agent on Saturday, March 26th at her sprawling Ojai Valley estate.
The Walk The Line star scooped up the compound, which is often called The Libbey Ranch, back in 2008, when it was listed for $6.95 million.
The 7-acre, 4 bedroom/3 bathroom estate, which is fully equipped with horse stables, a swimmer’s pool and two guest houses, was built in 1923 and has housed everyone from actor/director Harold Ramis to interior designer Kathryn M. Ireland.
Reese and Jim were first spotted hanging out together at the picturesque country home back in March 2010, shortly after they began dating, celebrating her 34th birthday together.
Although Reese has been spotted visiting nearly every designer’s showroom from Los Angeles to Paris since her December engagement, the actress spawned serious speculation that she had settled on red carpet favorite Monique L’huillier, when she was photographed shopping at the designer’s Beverly Hills showroom back in February.
It’s been reported that the couple will be keeping the wedding small — at least by Hollywood standards — inviting around 100 guests, and that “candles and flowers will be everywhere, in white and pastels, for an intimate feeling.”
It has also been reported that Reese has been working closely with celebrity event planner Yifat Oren, who has planned the nuptials for everyone from Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller to Mariska Hargitay and Peter Hermann
Of all the celebrity wedding photos I could imagine, Reese’s are the ones I’m most looking forward to. (Excepting Brad and Angelina, but you know that’s not going to happen.) She’ll have everything just so, and you know she’ll look beautiful and her kids will be adorable in their wedding outfits. I bet even Ryan will be there, sitting on the sidelines and gritting his teeth, realizing how much he f*cked up. He’ll bring some hot cocktail waitress with him as a buffer and she’ll have to listen to him whine and complain the whole time.

Earlier this week, Us Weekly reported that Ryan Phillippe may be the father of his ex-girlfriend's gestating baby. His ex, Alexis Knapp, is currently in her second trimester, allegedly, and that would line up with their breakup, which seems to have happened in late September of last year. For some reason, I was under the impression that this whole baby daddy drama had taken Ryan by surprise, and that Alexis had maybe kept her pregnancy from him. According to People Magazine's sources, I was wrong. It seems Alexis told Ryan about her pregnancy very soon after she found out, and Ryan has been maintaining that the paternity test should be done when the baby is born. Meanwhile, he's just been blithely boning Amanda Seyfried, Rihanna, randoms and whoever else. While that's obviously his right, it doesn't make him look good, does it?
As Ryan Phillippe awaits the results of a paternity test to determine if he is the father of ex-girlfriend Alexis Knapp’s unborn baby, Knapp herself is happily preparing for the birth, sources tell PEOPLE.
“She’s doing really well, handling everything and just taking it day by day,” a source says of the actress, who dated Phillippe last summer and is believed to be due in June. “She’s excited for the baby!”
As for Phillippe, he is keeping a low profile until test results come back, adds another source.
“In all likelihood, Ryan’s not doing or saying anything publicly until there’s a paternity test that proves he’s the father,” says a source close to the actor.
And although the pregnancy came as a surprise to the public, “Ryan has known from the very beginning,” adds the first source. “As soon as she found out, she told him. She found out she was pregnant while she was filming [her upcoming movie] So Undercover.”
Phillippe, 36, who has two children with ex-wife Reese Witherspoon 34, has moved on romantically, and was spotted recently cozying up to Amanda Seyfried after the premiere for her movie Red Riding Hood, as well as at the opening of his The Lincoln Lawyer last week.
Knapp appears in two upcoming movies, Project X this Thanksgiving and Miley Cyrus film So Undercover, also in the fall.
This is looking less like a situation where "it could be anybody's baby" and more like "Ryan is the father and he's just in denial." It seems like Alexis got pregnant at the tailend of their relationship, told him about it, and he was all "Is it mine?" Ugh, why is the douche so strong in Ryan? Was he always like this?
Also - Amanda Seyfried, get out. You can do better. This is your douche intervention.
I’m going to be honest, I didn’t watch The Bachelor this season. The closest I got were the recaps on E!’s The Soup, and Brad generally came across like a commitment phobe doofus who inexplicably had women fawning all over him. (He’s hot, I’ll give him that.) This show is incredibly popular, though. A couple of women were discussing it at the gym yesterday and said they were happy that Brad had picked Emily, because she was the best one for him or something. I almost chimed in to tell them that they’d already broken up, but I didn’t know if that was confirmed or just a rumor so I didn’t say anything.
It turns out they’re still together supposedly, although I wouldn’t put it past producers to delay the breakup announcement to try and save face. Brad told People that they’re working on their relationship and admits that “it has been a bumpy couple of months.” Bachelor host Chris Harrison told Ryan Seacrest that these two have had “knock down, drag out” fights. I know that’s just a figure of speech but that makes it sound like they’ve come to blows.
Bachelor Brad Womack proposed to single mom Emily Maynard on ‘The Bachelor’ finale that aired Monday night, and rumors soon surfaced that the pair has already broken up, but the couple insists they are still together.
Brad admits in a statement to People that things have been rough since taping the finale, but he and Emily remain engaged:
“At long last, Emily and I can be open to the world and each other about our relationship. Though we are madly in love, it has been a bumpy couple of months for us and our priority right now is to focus on our relationship. We hope that you can respect our privacy as we return to normalcy and begin our off-screen lives together.” Popeater reported on Tuesday that the couple had already “broken up for good,” in part because Emily hated watching Brad’s dates with the other women as they aired each Monday night, after he had proposed to her.
“Emily is not able to forgive Brad for what she considers cheating week-after-week with other girls,” a producer reportedly told the website. “It’s always hard sending the couple back into reality after they have been living in paradise, but no one in the history of the show has had as hard a time adjusting as Emily.”
Meanwhile Chris Harrison visited Ryan Seacrest’s radio show (via People) and said the couple is doing well and trying to work things out despite some “knock down, drag out fights.”
These two are not going to last, no one on these shows ever does, The Bachelor is currently 1 for 15 in terms of couples that are still together and that’s counting Brad and Emily. Contestants on The Biggest Loser have a better dating and marriage track record.
In related news, the new Bachelorette has been announced and it’s Ashley Herbert. She was eliminated just before the final in this year’s Bachelor and is a 26 year-old fourth year dental student at the University of Pennsylvania. She would likely have better luck finding a guy at school on the Internet, or while she’s sucking the spit out of their mouths but that wouldn’t come with any media opportunities.
Here’s a video of Brad proposing. I’ve read less cliched bullsh*t in those Chicken Soup for the Soul books than he spouts at the beginning:
