The Bachelor’s Brad Womack picked his bride-to-be Emily Maynard over Chantal O’Brien on last night’s finale, and despite both being seemingly head-over-heels in love (while the cameras were rolling) it has been anything but easy. It was so difficult that they aren’t together any more. Quick, right? According to Popeater, Emily’s insecurities over the other relationships Brad had, have a lot  to do with it:

“Emily is so insecure, she just isn’t cut out for all the fame and attention her relationship is under,” a show insider tells me. “The six weeks of shooting the show in paradise was easy, away from prying eyes and photographers, but since they both returned to their normal lives things have been a disaster.”

They admitted last night (on the after the rose show) that it has been a very difficult adjustment particularly with Emily watching The Bachelor every Monday night and seeing him in relationships with other women. Add to that Brad’s temper and it just doesn’t seem to be working.

Although Emily knew what she was signing up for, I don’t think anything can quite prepare a person for what it’s like. Not just the intrusion into your personal life after the show, but watching Brad in other relationships at the same time you are in one with him must be pretty difficult for Emily to watch.

But he did pick her, and it really looks like he is madly in love with her. Crazy eyes and all.

I thought last night’s show was live, but I guess it’s not. And normally they appear on talk shows the morning after the show’s finale and they aren’t doing that, so there has to be truth to this rumour:

“Emily is not able to forgive Brad for what she considers cheating week-after-week with other girls,” an in-the-know producer tells me. “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.”

Like many fans, my source “would love to say they are going to make it, but they don’t. After we taped the ‘After the Rose,’ it was clear to everyone that this one was not going to work.”

It’s almost like karma bit Brad Womack in the ass or something.

Are you surprised by this break up this fast?

Brad Womack pissed off just about every female in America on his last stint (2007) on The Bachelor when he jilted Deanna Pappas and Jenni Croft at the end.  What he was thinking, I will never know.  But this second chance he’s gotten is a new story, so he says,

“I can promise you there is a very happy ending.  I did find somebody, I did fall in love. So for viewers who wanted to see that, it happened, a true love story happened,” Womack insisted. “I’m very much in love. I’m a happy guy.”

His reason for coming back and being “successful” this time?

“I was so much more open to the process…It was just so much more fun…I don’t know. The women were so much more engaging.”  He added that “not too much drama occurred” among the 30 women vying for his heart. “There were some really, really good women, and we had a great time.”

Well, if we know ABC and drama, we know that they will work the cameras “just so” giving us more drama than we can handle.  Yes, I will be there.

Tara Durr (season 9) and John Presser (season 5) met each other on Facebook.  There is a page for all the “losers” who couldn’t find love on The Bachelor or Bachelorette.  I think that it’s a very clever idea.  It’s one way to group a bunch of people with the same mindset and give them a real shot a true love.

That’s exactly how it worked for Tara and John.  They just tied the knot at the Slammer & Squire golf course in St. Augustine, Florida on November 6 in front of 400 of their closet friends and relatives.

Tara wore a strapless Simone Carvalli gown and gushed Life & Style,

“Everyone danced the whole night.  We all had such a great time.”

Rozlyn Papa is the notorious cheater from Jake Pavelka’s season of The Bachelor.  Rozlyn was hooking up with one of the crew members behind the scenes while she was supposed to be on the show to find the love of her life in Jake.  Yeah, tacky.  Guy gets fired and Rozlyn get kicked off the show.  Super classy, eh?

Rozlyn was totally bombarded on The Women Tell All episode and frankly, should have crawled into a hole and never come back out.  But no.  Girl is a glutton for punishment and went out on a vendetta of sorts.  When she got word that Brad Womack was returning as The Bachelor for the second time, essentially getting a second chance, she thought she’d try that angle as well.  Rozlyn Papa begged the producers to let her be on Brad’s season.

Brad Womack Is Back As The Bachelor

Sources gave Us the scoop on Rozlyn’s desperation,

“Rozlyn wasn’t that interested in Jake, but she’s very interested in Brad.  She really wanted to come back on the show.  They always really liked her.  They felt that if she went on camera and admitted to everything she did, they would agree to introduce her to Brad and let him decide. Brad’s certainly a guy who believes in second chances, so they thought it might work. She’s interested in Brad, but she’s not looking for a husband.  Brad is really looking for a wife. They only want people genuinely interested in finding love.”

Well duh!  That’s the premise of the show.  Rozlyn Papa just wanted revenge on The Bachelor producers.  I don’t know what she really had up her sleeve.  Some ridiculous plan of sabotage I am sure.  But really.  Have you no self respect?  If you want to just play the field and date around, go for it.  But mostly, just go……

I was shocked when I read that Brad Womack is back as The Bachelor for the next season! If you recall he chose neither Deanna Pappas or Jenni Croft in his original run back in 2007 (Season 11) but you know what? I think that’s great.

Why choose someone for the sake of saving face? That would be worse because eventually he would break the girl’s heart so better to do it before a real relationship starts.

A source close to the show told US:

“Brad is very sincere and believes in the show,” “That’s why he didn’t pick someone last time. He was never in it for the publicity. He wants to find a wife.”

“Brad knows he has to open up more,” says the insider. “Last time, he was reserved with the women.”

To me, I think he is a great catch.  You can at least count on him to be honest and not a fame-whoring douchebag, right?

What do you think? Are you surprised he’s back? Were you upset with what he did when he was on before?

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.

I didn’t bother to do a post about the showdown between Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi after Monday night’s Bachelorette. However I will say that despite my not caring at all for Vienna before that particular show, I have come to realize that (in my opinion) Jake is a smug, passive-aggressive bag de la douche. I eat guys like him for breakfast. And not in the way they hope.

Although Vienna‘s constant interruption would drive me NUTS, that was a girl who was very distraught and that didn’t look like acting to me.

Mr. ‘I have a publicist’ Jake seems to be out to simply get famous.  Perhaps this is why he didn’t choose the other girl and chose Vienna instead:  the other girl seemed much more (what we now realize is) his type. So why didn’t he choose her then? What the hell is Anne talking about now? Well if he was really looking for love, he would have chosen his type. Seems to me he wasn’t really looking for love.  But then again is anyone on those shows?

Anyways, Vienna is seen here getting her hair did.  And ladies what is the best revenge?  Looking fabulous.  Holla bitches.

I don’t even approve of this couple (like they care) and yet I’m doing a big-ass post on The Bachelor’s Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi.  I think the dosage on my electro shock therapy may need to be cranked up a level or twelve.

Jake took time out from Dancing With The Stars rehearsals to take Vienna to The Ivy where clearly these two are basking in the quiet moments of their relationship by keeping it on the down-lo.  They aren’t media whores at all.  For those of you who don’t know, The Ivy is a Paparazzi’s wet dream.  Any celebrity or wanna be celebrity who wants to get photographed doesn’t even need to make a phone call to the pappers.  They just need to show up at The Ivy.

Vienna and some friends also did some shopping along Robertson Boulevard beforehand.  I will say that he appears to be very protective of her and the negative things people have been saying which is nice.  Whether or not it’s sincere is anyone’s guess and if I didn’t have a life cranking out posts from my basement, I’d examine that sincerity a little bit more.

Pictures after the break if you can stomach the public displays of affection.
