The Bachelor Jason Mesnick & Molly Malaney Getting Married March 8 On TV

The most reviled bachelor in ABC's The Bachelor history, Jason Mesnick, he being the guy who changed his mind about his original wife choice, Melissa Rycroft, dumping her on TV, while viewers watched.

Mesnick then told his former #2, Molly Malaney, that he now wanted her to be his wife. Mesnick then proceeded to get way too affectionate, with his new bride to be, way too soon after dumping Melissa.

And now, finally, a wedding date has been set. March 8. That gives Jason 6 weeks to change his mind.

The Mesnick/Malaney nuptials will be shown on ABC. I do not know if this will be a live broadcast. I suspect it will get a lot of viewers, hoping to see some fresh Mesnick nuttiness.

I don't think I'll be watching. I know I did not watch the Trista/Ryan wedding. I believe they are the only wedding to come out of The Bachelor, well, actually that wedding was a result of The Bachelorette.

I did watch the wedding of Survivor's Rob and Amber. I liked that pair.

Samantha Harris Leaving Dancing With The Stars While Greg Louganis Wants To Dance

I'm sure some viewers may have liked Samantha Harris and her co-hosting on ABC's Dancing with the Stars. For me, she was the weakest part of the show, a co-host with a gift for babbling inanities way too frequently.

Ms. Harris never seemed natural and relaxed, while her partner Tom Bergeron may be the best reality show host on TV, with a genius gift for spontaneous ad libs.

In other DWTS news, Olympian, Greg Louganis, has let it be known that he wants to dance on Dancing with the Stars really really bad. Louganis is now a gray-haired 50 year old, still a healthy guy 22 years after testing positive for HIV.

There is a rumor floating around the Internet that Paula Abdul has indicated she would like to be on Dancing with the Stars. I assume to dance, though that would seem a bit unfair, what with her extensive dancing and choreography history.

Maybe Paula Abdul could replace Samantha Harris. Paula's loopy charm might be entertaining.

The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love---Photos of Vienna Jake Might Not Approve Of

ABC's The Bachelor is one of the best train wreck type reality shows. The latest version, that being The Bachelor: Wings of Love, with earnest, up-right, up-tight, Boy Scout pilot, Jake Pavelka, being the seeker of a wife, is being particularly entertaining.

Jake has been the fastest potential wife dumper the show has ever seen. His choices seem perplexing at times.

One choice that perplexes the audience and all but one of the potential wives, is why does Jake keep giving Vienna Girardi those damn roses? The other girls have warned Jake that she's no good. Jake doesn't seem to care.

My sources tell me that what we are not seeing is how awful Vienna treats the other girls. As in epic bad. For some reason the producers choose to show us the animosity of the other girls, but not what is causing the animosity.

The rumor is that the reason it is being edited this way is that Vienna keeps staying around. How can they show her being a Bitch from Hell, if she's the one Jake picks in the end?

My sources also tell me that next week Ali, currently being edited to appear to be Jake's favorite, walks off the show, when Jake continues to keep Vienna.

Now, in the end, if Jake asks Vienna to be his Dearly Beloved, after taking Vienna home to meet his very religious mom and dad, and after their, likely, very chaste night in one of those notorious Fantasy Suites, well, Jake is in for a bit of a surprise.

Jake will be bringing home to Dallas, the Buckle of the Bible Belt, a young lady who has posed for some racy photos.

Now, to me. No big deal. But, somehow, I don't think Jake is the kind of guy who is going to see it that way. Maybe I'm wrong. Jake certainly seems to have no problem with taking most of his own clothes off for the camera.

Time will tell. I'm hoping it makes for some great Train Wreck TV.

Adam Dell Father Of Padma Lakshmi's Baby

At the finale of the latest season of Top Chef, that being Top Chef: Las Vegas, it was apparent, as soon as Padma Lakshmi stepped off a Napa Valley train, that she was well along in making a baby.

The news of Padma's incoming baby had been widely circulated, but not confirmed, for me, til I saw her baby hump on my TV screen.

There was a lot of speculation as to who Padma's Baby Daddy might be. I even read speculation, somewhere, that the Baby Daddy was Padma's co-host, Tom Colicchio.

Well, apparently it is not Tom.

The reported Padma Baby Daddy is the younger brother of Texan, Michael Dell, you know, the computer making billionaire. Dell has a 40 year old younger brother named Adam.

Adam Dell is also a tech savvy guy, but not a billionaire. He is a venture capitalist, who when he is not venturing capital, teaches at Columbia Business School.

Apparently Adam and Padma have been quite friendly for a couple years.

Padma has known for years that she has endometriosis, a condition that makes it difficult to become pregnant. Her doctor is reported to have said her pregnancy is"nothing short of a miracle."

I couldn't help but be curious to see what the father of Padma's baby looks like, thinking that depending on the mate, this could be one good-looking kid.

Well, that's Adam Dell. What you think? I'm thinking this guy is a better match for Padma than her ex-husband, Salman Rushdie.

Johnny Depp is Not DEAD, Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Are NOT SPLIT, I Think...

Sunday morning, January 23, 2010, the Internet is all abuzz with two rumors.

Rumor number one is that Johnny Depp is dead. Killed in a car crash in France. Car found, body yet to be positively identified. That's the rumor.

Chance of being true? Slim to none.

The other rumor is that the couple known as Brangelina aka Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, have split.

Some of the Pitt/Jolie rumors have them meeting a divorce attorney. Trouble with that is I don't believe they ever got married.

A hard copy entity, I believe printed somewhere in Europe, called News of the World, goes so far as to claim papers were signed by Pitt and Jolie early in January in which the pair agree on how to split the millions of dollars the two have earned while coupled.

I'm guessing the Pitt/Jolie supposed split is another bogus bit of news.

The celebrity death rumors really need to stop. The celebrity break up rumors, those aren't so malicious.

The Bachelor: Evicted Potential Wife Michelle Kujawa Not Crazy on The Ellen Show

That is Michelle Kujawa on The Ellen Show with Ellen DeGeneres pointing to various remaining potential wife material ,for Jake Pavelka, on The Bachelor: Wings of Love.

Michelle is the potential wife who seemed to be so bat crazy that Jake sent her home last week, just walked her to the curb, no need to wait for the silly Rose Ceremony.

Michelle made for some great awkward TV moments on The Bachelor, like her complete lack of a sense of humor, as evidenced by her stand up routine at the Jon Lovitz Comedy Club.

The best Michelle moment was asking Jake if she could kiss him, then after a way too long lip lock, complained to Jake about the kiss, which is what led quickly to her eviction.

So, I expected to see some new craziness from Michelle on The Ellen Show. Ellen's very funny. How would Michelle, with no sense of humor, be able to relate?

Well, I don't know who this Michelle is who was on The Ellen Show, but it was not the same girl we saw on The Bachelor. The Ellen Show Michelle was likable, charming, laughed at Ellen's banter, didn't say anything off, came across as a totally normal, not crazy, nice lady. Michelle said positive things about the other girls. Just like viewers, said she did not understand the animosity towards Vienna.

Watch The Ellen Show YouTube video below and you'll see what I mean about this Michelle seeming like a totally different person than the person we watched on The Bachelor...

The Bachelor: On The Wings of Love--Crazy Michelle Leaves Elizabeth No Rose Goes

I really don't think it is a decent thing to be doing when a Reality TV Show casts someone who is obviously mentally ill.

Sure, it can make for some entertaining, albeit, somewhat cringe producing, moments.

Producing those cringe producing moments on the current The Bachelor was this woman who apparently desperately wanted a husband, Michelle. It was sort of easy to see why Michelle has not had any luck snagging a man.

Because she's nuts.

A group of the girls went on a group date to Jon Lovitz's comedy club. Each of the girls got up on the stage and did a little comedy bit. Elizabeth, she being the one who shan't be kissed, yet teases relentlessly, did a raunchy comedy routine that was mostly bleeped. Chaste Elizabeth being raunchy confused Jake.

And then Michelle did her comedy bit, saying she was going to really impress Jake and blow the other girls out of the water. Trouble was, she wasn't funny, she just caused an awful lot of cringing, no laughter, just stares that sort of said "what the hell was that." Lovitz was pretty much left speechless.

But, it was to get worse for Michelle, later, at after the comedy show cocktail party.

Earlier, Michelle told us that when she finally kissed Jake that mountains would move, tongues would do battle, hair would be pulled, clothes would be ripped off.

So, at the cocktail party Michelle got Jake alone. And then after some very strange conversation, she asked if she could kiss him, just to see if there really was an attraction, or something like that.

I'm thinking, this can't go well, what with Michelle's belief that their first kiss will have Jake and her tearing off each other's clothes.

Well, thankfully they kept their clothes on, but the kiss went on and on and on and on, it was like those lips were shoved up against each other and then became glued.

When Jake and Michelle finally came unglued from the kiss, Michelle said something like, "Are you kidding me? Is that all you got?"

Jake looked totally perplexed. I don't blame him.

What followed was more Michelle words that made no sense. She said something about leaving. Jake said that's a good idea. Michelle then said something like this is so stupid. Jake led Michelle out and into a taxi.

He seemed relieved to get rid of her. I knew a woman once who's conversational pattern was very much like Michelle's. I didn't know her for long.

And then at the Rose Ceremony drinking party it was Elizabeth's turn to make Jake uncomfortable. She really has a bizarrely unnatural fixation on kissing. And she also was unable to comprehend what Jake was telling her, that being that she was coming off as a tease to him, just like she did to those of us watching her.

Both Michelle and Elizabeth were very good-looking. But a bit messed up internally, with Michelle being, by far, the most messed up, and the producers of The Bachelor should be ashamed for putting that woman on the show, with her obvious mental health issues.

The lady with the 7 year old for the win. I mean proposal.
