Why do they even cast guys like Alessandro Goulart on The Bachelorette? Somewhere in his application he must've mentioned living like a gypsy, not having time to settle down with a family, dating some kind of cousin, cheating on a girlfriend, having a one-night-stand, and being a vampire detector. That last part is new, courtesy of Emily Maynard’s People.com blog on The Bachelorette Season 8, Episode 3. "Alessandro's comments definitely threw me for a loop, but that wasn't even the...

Another day, another fabulous episode of The Bachelorette. This week, Emily Maynard put her brothel of bros to the test by forcing them to hang out with small children. You know, to make sure they're suitable fathers to that sweet girl Ricki who occasionally pops up on screen. Em also treats two lucky gents to solo dates — and let's just say one of them gets her motor running. Hint: It's Arie. Get it, because he's a race car driver? Laugh out loud!

In last week’s The Bachelorette Season 8, Episode 2,  Arie Luyendyk, Jr., opened up about a past relationship — he most recently dated (and lived with) a single mom with two kids. Arie’s experience being a step-boyfriend stands in stark contrast to Alessandro Goulart and Kalon McMahon, who both announce in tonight’s episode that they would have qualms with playing dad to Em’s sweet 6-year-old girl, Ricki Hendrick. In tonight’s episode,... Related Content: Bachelorette Emily Maynard...Read Full Story

Emily Maynard was on Extra this week, previewing her "mama bear" side coming out on The Bachelorette Season 8, Episode 3 in defense of little Ricki. "I laid down the law," she teases. Host Mario Lopez asked for her strongest contenders among the bachelors. She named Ryan Bowers — who got the first date of the season — Jef Holm, who got the first group date rose — and Arie Luyendyk, Jr., who has a date on tonight's Episode 3. So ... chances are good Arie gets a rose tonight.... Related Content...Read Full Story

Arie Luyendyk, Jr., is doing a great job wooing Emily Maynard on The Bachelorette so far this season, but a series of strange details about his past have cast serious doubt about both his character and motives. Are we looking at Mr. Here For the Wrong Reasons? While none of the revelations are that scandalous, Arie’s level of success this season (see The Bachelorette spoilers for more on that topic) makes them quite consequential as a serious candidate to become Emily’s fiancé and Ricki’s...Read Full Story

Mario Andretti If you want to know what it is like to be at the Brickyard this year, turn on your oven, let it heat up and stand real close. It’s hot. That isn’t enough to keep the stands from filling as the start time approaches. An annual Indy 500 event is a lap by some of the vintage Indy cars and this year we had an historical moment. 1978 Formula 1 champion Mario Andretti was driving a 1921 Duesenberg, the winning car in the 1921 French Grand Prix driven by Jimmy Murphy. It was one of...Read Full Story

Joe Gendreau only made it through two episodes of The Bachelorette, but he doesn’t seem to hold a grudge against Emily Maynard for dumping him on their one-on-one date (he didn’t even get to enjoy the fireworks!) He knows what went wrong. “We really didn't hit it off with each other,” Joe told People during his post-elimination media conference call. “I was really happy with everything that happened. I went in open-minded and put myself out there. We just didn't... Related Content...Read Full Story

Before Arie Luyendyk, Jr., was racing cars and romancing Emily Maynard on The Bachelorette, he was just a sweet-faced tow-headed Dutch boy. The Dutch-born Indy racer has this adorable childhood photo (above, left) as his Twitter profile photo. Sporting the classic Dutch Boy haircut, a plaid shirt, and grey suspenders, Arie was obviously born camera-ready. His looks haven’t faded with age, as you can see in the photo (above, right) of Arie showing off his crystal-clear baby blues... Related...Read Full Story

Trista Sutter is the original Bachelorette and she’s going her own way when it comes to Emily Maynard’s Season 8. While other Bachelorettes like Ashley Hebert and Ali Fedotowsky have singled out Arie Luyendyk, Jr., and Jef Holm as potential frontrunners, Trista has her eyes on two different guys (but still Arie!) — and also shares serious criticism for one of the season’s two single dads. In an interview with Hollywood.com after the Season 8 premiere, Mrs Ryan Sutter... Related Content...Read Full Story
