EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Bachelor Pad’s Erica Rose On Kissing Jake Pavelka

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW.

On the August 15 episode of Bachelor Pad, the beautiful Erica Rose was used as a human paint target during the “Target On Your Back” immunity challenge. Since that show’s airing, Erica sat down with me for a video interview (watch below) and opened up about her feelings after being voted as the least attractive female in the Bachelor Pad house. She also told me that some of the guys, including Michael Stagliano, have since talked to her about why they voted the way they did. Erica actually watched that episode with her mother who was outraged over the treatment of her daughter but Erica has received so much love via Twitter since the show aired, that she feels much better now.

In the interview which can be watched below, Erica also spilled the beans about this Monday’s upcoming episode (August 22, 2011) where she kisses Jake Pavelka. “Jake is a good kisser,” Erica said. “He was on The Bachelor, so he knows what he is doing.”

Erica said she doesn’t know why she was the only one in the BP house who was going after Jake considering he was the bachelor and not just a contestant like the rest of the guys. Erica also talked about how hooking up with Jake made things a bit awkward with Jake’s ex, Vienna Girardi, who is now a good friend of Erica’s. Erica also said that the on-going feud between Jake and Vienna’s current beau, Kasey Kahl, will send one of those men packing after Monday’s eviction. So much to look forward to tonight!

Watch my interview video with Erica below to find out if the romance between Jake and Erica is still on and what Erica’s future looks like (hint, she is about to graduate from University Of Houston Law School! And, she is realeasing her Dr. Phil inspired Stiletto Bikini Blast workout):

Here are some photos of Erica from her interview with Extra TV at The Grove:

Big Brother Recap: Jeff Becomes First Man To Win HOH

We started Big Brother 13 August 21, 2011 episode with Brendon having just been evicted for the second time. This time, however, Rachel felt re-energized with Brendon being back for a week and she was ready to fight. Daniele was ecstatic to have evicted Brendon for a second time this season. When Brendon walked through the BB doors and into the live audience, Rachel made sure Daniele realized how much America likes Brendon by saying, “Just as many cheers as last time [he was evicted and walked out to live audience.]”


HOH COMPETITION
We then headed right into the HOH competition, All Washed Up. The contestants were combating walls of soap and suds while they walked back and forth carrying a small cup of water to fill a large jug. Daniele, as outgoing HOH, could not participate but was rooting for Kalia or Porsche to win but ended up irritating Kalia when she kept telling her how slow she is compared to every one else. Jordan had to play in her humilitard.

The suds got into everyone’s eyes and made them unable to see as they slid all over the place. Adam even took a bad fall on his buttocks. He also hurt his nipples somehow and had to wear band aids once the game was over (I know this from Showtime After Dark episodes). Jeff lead most of the game with Porsche and Rachel close behind. Once Rachel realized Jeff is beating her, she admittedly started rooting him on so she stays on his good side. When it was all over, Jeff became the first man in the house to win HOH this season.

HOH BUTT KISSING BEGINS/RACHEL HATRED CONTINUES
Right after the competition, Daniele started being nice to Jeff. Jeff said in the Diary Room that despite his deal with Daniele, he will evict whoever is in his best interest. Daniele hoped that Jeff and Jordan would honor their deal. Shelly, Daniele, Kalia and Porsche continued their Rachel hatred to the point that Ms. Business executive Shelly has hidden Rachel’s stuffed dog and contemplating cutting it into pieces to taunt Rachel. Who does that? Seriously Shelly, you’re the oldest in the house, right? And a mother?

After everyone checked out Jeff’s HOH room, Rachel was the last and stayed behind talking to Jeff which fueled Shelly’s fire because she wants Jeff and Jordan all to herself. Shelly went back up to confront Rachel and told her to stop rolling her eyes at her. She told Rachel to stop cutting her down and giving her looks of death. Rachel just stared at her and kept her cool. Jeff told them they’re both in his alliance and agreed that the two of them need to start with a clean a slate and stick together. In the Diary Room, Jeff said he was so impressed that Rachel bit her tongue and he was proud of her. That act alone probably will keep Jeff loyal to Rachel.


HAVE NOT COMPETITION
There was no competition this week, instead, Jeff got the chance to chose three have nots for the week. He said Porsche and Daniele have never been been nots, so, he picked them and their “best friend” Kalia. But lucky for them, America also picked hard boiled eggs and Jalapenos as extra food the could have in addition to slop. Daniele was upset because she was going to be a have not on her birthday.


KALIA SPEAKS WITH JEFF
Jeff told Kalia she is definitely in the pot of his finalist for nominations. So, with that, Kalia threw Rachel under the bus and told Jeff to be careful of her and that she has gunned for Jeff and Jordan for three weeks. This backstabbing instead of pleading her own case actually backfired because it made Jeff question her. He said that he told her he would nominate her when she put him on the block.


JEFF LIES TO DANIELE
Jeff told Daniele that she is good with him and asked her to not use the Veto if she wins it. When Dani figured that Jeff would put up Porsche and Kalia, Dani asked him who he would put up if one them wins Veto and Jeff said he doesn’t know.

Jeff later told Jordan that he told Dani she is good and that she feels safe. Jeff said he can’t trust Dani and will try to get her out with a back door. He won’t put her up right off the bat because he doesn’t want to upset her.

PORSCHE TALKS GAME WITH JEFF
Porsche tried to sell herself to Jeff by saying that she has come in second place on three competitions and would like to win a comp before going home. She said if he doesn’t put her up she won’t put him up. Jeff shot back: “Is this our first minute of game talk?” He later laughed at her that she waited till day 49 to start talking game. He told her his decision is a game time decision.

NOMINATIONS CEREMONY
Jeff nominated Kalia and Porsche for eviction. His order of keys were: Rachel, Shelly, Adam, Jordan and Daniele. He told Porsche he wants her to prove she came here to play and to win and to take herself off of the block. He told Kalia he had warned her quid pro quo if she nominated him.

FRINGE DVD On Sale!

The mystery of the universe deepens in the third season of Fringe. The Fringe team escapes from the parallel universe – except for Olivia, who is trapped in the other world and replaced in ours by her double, who turns Peter and Olivia’s tentative relationship into a love affair.

Olivia returns, bonds of trust fray, ever more bizarre and terrifying phenomena occur and secrets that stretch back to 1985 threaten to destroy our universe. Or theirs. In Season 3 of Fringe, Olivia and her alternate version switch places – wherein each Olivia becomes trapped in her respective alternate universe.

This all makes me think: What would I do if I could live in an alternative universe? I have to admit, I 

L-O-V-E what I do and I love my family and friends so, it’s hard to say what I would change a thing. I consider myself blessed. But maybe, if I had to choose something, I would have moved out to Los Angeles years before I actually did and would have started this website much sooner! But that’s kind of silly to just do the same exact thing as I do now, isn’t it?? How about you? What would your alternate you look like?

Josh Groban Will Star On NBC’s ‘The Office’

Rumor has it that singer Josh Groban will be making an appearance at Dunder-Mifflin as Andy Bernard’s brother!

Stephen Collins (7th Heaven, No Ordinary Family) and Dee Wallace (E.T., Walk A Mile In My Pradas) have been also been cast as the brothers’ parental units on an upcoming episode of The Office‘s season 8.

The singer did not confirm or deny, but did send this Tweet Thursday:
This is pure comedic genius, and those of you who know Josh, would agree. If you are not familair with Groban’s funny side, check out his heeelarious music video, putting Kanye West’s Tweets to song.

Katy Perry Ties Michael Jackson’s Record Of #1 Hits

Who knew?! 

Not Madonna, not Celine Dion, not Mariah Carey, not Elvis Presley, not Britney Spears, not even Justin Timberlake.

But Katy Perry and Michael Jackson now have an impressive accomplishment in common –they’re both the only musicians who have five # 1 songs from the same album.

Perry became the first woman, and the second artist since Jackson, in the 53-year history of the Billboard Hot 100, to send five songs from an album to No. 1, as soon as her latest single Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) shot to the top of the charts.

Teenage Dreams, California Gurls, Firework, and E.T. are the other number one songs from her 2010 album Teenage Dreams.

Strange as it sounds, Jackson’s iconic 1982 album Thriller which is the #1 best-selling album of all time was not the album that achieved the feat for the late artist. It was his 1987 follow-up Bad, with hits such as Man in the Mirror and Smooth Criminal.


Jackson enjoyed seven weeks at the top spot with his Bad songs, while Perry has so far occupied the top spot for a record 18 weeks.
Congrats Katy Perry, AKA, Mrs. Brand!

VIDEO: Lady Gaga Goes Topless For MTV Promo Video!

Lady Gaga is known for wearing outlandish costumes, but for some reason, she finds it hard to play piano wearing anything at all – not even a bra.

In the promo for MTV Video Music Awards, you see the 25-year-old superstar snapping off her bra for no apparent good reason while doing a jazzy rendition of You & I…but maybe that’s what jazz singers used to do  back in the day?

The MTV Awards will be held August 28. Watch Lady Gaga’s promo video below:
