“Part of the reason (I decided to pose) was because it scared me, and I thought it was exciting that something still scared me.

“I was really nervous about it, and then I thought the only thing that would be embarrassing would be if I hated my body.”

Ali Fedotowsky gets her hair done a lot.  And of course in true Hollywood fashion this means extensions.

She must be getting herself all prepped for the reunion show of The Bachelorette which is coming up soon. She is down to three now right? I’m still kind of pissed that we haven’t learned what Frank reveals to her. Although it’s pretty obvious.

I’ve also included some photos of her jogging.

Who do you think she picks? Who do you want her to pick?

The Huffington Post is reporting that Bret Michaels has proposed to his on-again, off-again girlfriend of 16 years Kristi Lynn Gibson and mother to his two daughters.  A source tells The Star:

“Bret felt like now was the time because Kristi has been through so much with Bret and has been by his side every step of the way,”

Yes, she has been by his side every step of the way and I’m glad that Bret finally sees what is important in life. Apparently the two will marry when his tour is over:

“Kristi is thrilled that they will be getting married,” ”They haven’t set a date and no plans are in the works yet. But when Bret’s tour ends they will work out the details. Bret wants to be in excellent health before he walks down the aisle. And, of course, he needs time to find the perfect bandanna to wear on his big day!”

This man never stops.  Congratulations to Bret & Krisi! I bet lots of Rock Of Love groupies are crying in their ashtrays today.

UPDATE:

I spoke WAY too soon.  According to People.com Brett told the CBS Early Show that he is not engaged:

“No. We are not engaged yet,” “We’re a work in progress.”

Ok I’m going to really focus on the world ‘yet’ and hope for the best.  Apparently Kristi is rocking a huge diamond.  Says Bret:

“a promise ring … a friendship ring, with benefits. That’s what we call it.”

Wow.  Imagine if they do get engaged what he will get her?

Just for the record:  NO she wasn’t dating Mel Gibson.  Apparently while she was engaged to The Bachelor’s Jake Pavelka, and 10 days before they split, Vienna Girardi was keeping in touch and actually slept with on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Lee Smith.

Radar Online has the exclusive text messages that went down between the two of them with this one sent to Vienna yesterday:

“Upset is not the word. I want to punch you in the face and whatever I say… deny… it’s cool I have proof on everything! I’m not dumb I won’t say anything I can’t back up,”

I’m not sure I agree with him in that he isn’t dumb.  His spelling is horrendous in the texts.  I’m just saying. Apparently Vienna and Brian were living together right up until she left to appear on The Bachelor but had told him she would be back.  Well, we know the ending to that fairytale.  Despite what Brian is saying Vienna has a different take:

“My ex is just pissed because he thought when Jake and I broke up it meant him and I would get back together and when he realized that wasn’t going to happen he got angry,” Vienna told a source. “This is why I had him arrested before I left for the show. He is obsessed and violent.”

When Radar Online broke the story of their relationship, some nasty texts went back and forth between Brian and Vienna:

Brian: “It’s your turn to once get alittle of the pain I feel if I will nit lie or make up anything all truth oh btw I’ll be comin to la soon…for the record u told me I could if u hurt me again (in those fake emails) lol”

Vienna: “Please stop! Look I get that your upset but this isn’t the way to get me back.”

Brian: “Upset is not the word I want to punch you in the face and whatever I say deny it’s cool I have proof on everything! I’m not dumb I won’t say anything I can’t back up…Just to show I’m a better person than u I sold u out for free!!!!!! I would not except one penny…f**k u Vienna hope ur happy now it’s your turn look like a f**king idot.”

Vienna: “I’m sorry. I understand that your angry. But I thought you were my friend. You said you would always be there for me and as long as I was happy that was all that mattered. I’m sorry you feel you must hurt me in order to make your pain go away.”

Brian: “That right there what I’m talking about ur so f**king good with words and emotions!…U have no real friends I know that cause u shit on everyone…I don’t need any pittu u wanna know what realy makes me mad I wasted yearrrrrsss of my life with u!”

Vienna: “I have real friends and they are still by myside, I thought you were one of them…Thank you !…Thank you for feeling that you wasted years with me. You have a gf and have had a gf tis entire time.”

Brian: “Act like that bothered u then or now! Don’t f**kin play stupid…Deny it I’ll make u look even dummer I swear to God u admit it right now I’ll drop it and Never speak to. U again.”

Vienna: “Admit what?”

Brian: “Ok nevermind! Later…I hope u get your f**kin carma u b**ch”

Vienna: “Karma is with a K”

Brian: “Ha we will see who is laughing…The evidence I have not really legal but I don’t f**king care…U will probly sue me see u in court”

Vienna: “Please dnt contact me or text me bc everything with you is all about $$ and getting even. I wish you find happiness oneday.”

I’m not sure what he means by his evidence being illegal but perhaps he needs to realize it may not even be a case of Vienna taking him to court but maybe him being arrested? The dude can’t even spell Karma correctly.  I doubt he’s thought his genius-like plan through.

In all seriousness, I don’t care if she was the biggest ho walking on the planet, to threaten a girl with physical violence is sick. Brian needs to walk away if she brings that much misery into her life. There is never an excuse for domestic violence or violence of any kind.
