There is trouble at the Playboy Mansion – Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harrishave called off their June 18 wedding.
We all watched last week’s cringe-inducing episode of The Bachelorette in horror and disgust as bad boy Bentley Williams crushed Ashley Hebert’s heart and dreams of finding her one true reality television love to pieces while belittling her behind her back.
If you watched The Bachelorette tonight, you saw the preview of a mystery man coming to see Ashley in Thailand. That mystery man is no one other than Bentley Williams himself coming back on the show so Ashley could have some closure.
Rumors have it that Ashley begged the producers to bring Bentley back. More rumors will have you believe that Bentley accepted to come back just so he could get a free trip to Thailand. We don’t know if any of that is true… yet. The only thing we know for certain at this point, is that Bentley does in fact return.
How do we know for a fact? Well, watch host Chris Harrison‘s interview with Extra’s Adrianna Costa talking about Bentley’s return:
SPOTTED: Sugar Ray Leonard at Barnes & Noble at The Grove Monday June 13, 2011 for a book signing of his The Big Fight: My Life In and Out of the Ring
Sugar Ray Leonard’s brutally honest and uplifting memoir reveals in intimate detail for the first time the complex man behind the boxer. The Olympic hero, multichampionship winner, and beloved athlete waged his own personal battle with depression, rage, addiction, and greed.
Coming from a tumultuous, impoverished household and a dangerous neighborhood on the outskirts of Washington, D.C., in the 1970s, Sugar Ray Leonard rose swiftly and skillfully through the ranks of amateur boxing-and eventually went on to win a gold medal in the 1976 Olympics. With an extremely ill father and no endorsement deals, Leonard decided to go pro.
The Big Fight takes readers behind the scenes of a notoriously corrupt sport and chronicles the evolution of a champion, as Leonard prepares for the greatest fights of his life-against Marvin Hagler, Roberto Duran, Tommy Hearns, and Wilfred Benitez. At the same time Leonard fearlessly reveals his own contradictions and compulsions, his infidelity, and alcohol and cocaine abuse.
With honesty, humor, and hard-won perspective, Leonard comes to terms with both triumph and struggle-and presents a gripping portrait of remarkable strength, courage, and resilience, both in and out of the ring.
Ashley Hebert meanwhile kept talking about Bentley and reminiscing about the measly time they spent together. She said she has to let go, have fun, and enjoy her time. Let’s hope she meant it.
Even though Ashley misses Bentley on the date, she still lets loose just a bit by running around in the rain and realizing she has some chemistry with Constantine.
During a romantic dinner on the beach, Ashley wondered if she should tell Constantine how she felt about Bentley. They spent some time talking about honesty and he told her he enjoyed spending time with and felt connected to Ashley. Ashley told Constantine their date made her feel right back on track and he walked off the date with a rose.
Ashley then planned a celebration and hoped she would be able to reconnect with all the guys. Ashley spent some alone time with Ben F and told him he impressed her today. He kissed her and she said the kiss was really really good.
Ashley took JP for some alone time because she felt he was being a bit standoffish. They sat under an umbrella and he reassured her that their date right after Bentley left was perfect. They flirted, cuddled and made out. Ashley thought kissing JP is magical and the best kisses by far for her, ON THE SHOW. He carried her back to the house and them were a bit green with envy.
Ashley was about to give out the rose but Ryan stopped her and said he wanted to steal her away. That’s rude. He had nothing of substance to say to her. They came back and she gave the rose to Ben F.
Ames and Ashley have dinner inland and she found him charming and sweet. He told the camera that she is smart and looks beautiful no matter what. Ashley said they’re both nerdy and have a lot in common. They talked more about relationships and he told the camera he wants to marry a strong, independent woman. Ashley thinks Ames is smart, sweet, and flirtatious so she gave him a rose. There was no kiss but Ames said afterwards that they did something more intimate than kiss, that is, build a solid foundation for a future relationship.
Lucas told Ashley he has been divorced for three years and is looking for new love. He told her he’s the type of guy that never gives up and wants to get to know her better. She told the camera she feels secure and taken care of around him.
Ashley asked Ryan why he’s happy all the time and wanted to know what makes him sad or mad. He said Blake just accused him of being happy all the time too but said he has a lot of love in his chest and for living. He said he thinks life is a gift and wants to explore things further with Ashley. She loves his positivity and energy and thinks he could bring out the best in her.
ROSE CEREMONY
Before roses were handed out, Ashley asked Chris Harrison if she could only send one and not the scheduled two guys home and he said Ashley could do whatever she wants to because there are no rules.
Here is a list of who got a rose: Ames, Constantine and Ben F. received roses on the dates.
Lucas, Ryan, JP, Nick, Mickey, Blake, William and Ben C all got roses at the rose ceremony and that left West as the one going home. He said bye to the guys, hugged Ashley and got into the car – he was quiet for a while. Then he said with tears in his eyes that this was the first time since his wife’s death that he put himself out on the line and hoped he could find love some day.
Tune in next week for Chiang Mai with ambulances, drama, dates ending prematurely and the return of BENTLEY WILLIAMS! YEP, he comes back when Ashley begs the producers to fly him to Thailand. OH DEAR!

SPOTTED: Nick Jonas at The Grove in Los Angeles June 13 for an interview with Mario Lopez of Extra.

There is trouble in paradise. The Family Jewels’ stars and long-time lovers Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed may have ended their relationship. The duo were on Today this morning and you could have cut the tension between the two with a knife.
Kathy Lee Gifford even asked Simmons if he were in “deep pooky” and we all know she didn’t mean pooky. And it seems to me that the answer is a big yes. Of course, it seems that Simmons’ decades-long infidelities have finally taken a toll on Tweed and she looked angry and withdrawn during the entire interview. She even said the relationship has ‘unraveled.’
Watch part of the awkward interview for yourself:
Tori Spelling has crashed the car she was driving into the wall of her kids’ school while trying to get away from paparazzi. She seems OK, since she’s already taken to Twitter to report the incident, but is heading to the doctor to make sure her baby is also OK.
She Tweeted today: “Paparazzi chased me w/the kids 2school.” She continued, “I was trying to get away from him and had a pretty big accident. Took down whole wall of school. He thn STILL got out to try to get pics. 10 school moms chased him away. Wht will it take? Someone dying for paparazzi to stop? Going to dr now to check on baby. I think its just shock.”
