DRUM ROLL!!!

And the next Bachelorette will be ….. Ashley Hebert, the woman Brad Womack almost picked on this season of The Bachelor! Well, she was one of the last three women left alongside Chantal O’Brien and Emily Maynard before Brad asked her to leave.

Jimmy Kimmel made the announcement which came as no surprise to anyone who witnessed her total transformation and makeover on The Bachelor: Women Tell All. As soon as I saw her complete new look, I knew she had something big waiting in store for herself. And, what could be bigger in the Bachelor world than scoring the lead title of the Bachelorette?

After making the annoucement, Kimmel asked Hebert: “Were you then glad that Brad didn’t pick you?” Hebert said giddily: “Yeah. I mean, I think it all turned out for the best!” It sure did for both of you! Brad is with Emily and Ashley has the once-in-a-life-time opportunity to play the bachelorette to 30 men. On national TV. Congrats Ashley!

Hebert is 26 and from Madawaska, Maine. She is currently attending dental school at the University of Pennsylvania. The new Bachelorette premieres May 23, 2011!

Who won Brad Womack‘s heart in the season finale of The Bachelor? Was it Emily Maynard or Chantal O’Brien?

SPOILER ALERT: On Monday’s season 15 finale, it was Emily Maynard who got the final rose as Womack told O’Brien that she was not the one for him.

“I’ve fallen in love with someone else,” Womack broke the news to a teary-eyed O’Brien.

Once O’Brien was escorted to the limo which whisked her away into the unknown and Maynard arrived, Womack could not contain his joy. He gushed: “You’re the one, Em. You’re my once in a lifetime…Please let me be your once in a lifetime. Please let me be your best friend. Please let me protect you and your beautiful daughter, and please let me love you for the rest of your life. I love you, Emily. I am truly in love with you.” AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

And then, Womack got down on his knee, and proposed: “Emily, please make me happier than I’ve ever been in my life and marry me!”

Maynard’s response? “I would love too!” After Womack placed a ring on her finger, it was Maynard’s turn to gush: “You just made me the happiest girl in the world!”

Brad Womack Says The Secrecy Is “Brutal”

Bachelor Brad Womack opened up in People and says keeping the ending of the show and who he ends up with a secret has been extremely difficult on him.

“Every Monday night since January 3 has not been a good night at my house,” he told People. “We will see how [my fiancee] handles it.”

“I was particularly scared of the overnight, exotic date episode.” Oh ya? I bet you were Brad, since you spent the night with each of the three women a week before you proposed to one. Man, this show is brutal! 

Brad agrees. “It’s brutal. You go on [the show], you find someone, you choose each other and then you hit pause. You can’t just start the daily life stuff.”

I can’t feel too bad for him, because he seems to have found the love of his life. Brad says: “Do I think this woman is the one? Damn right I do. I probably shouldn’t say this but my heart was in a specific place pretty early on.”
And just to make it clear, he says: “I’m in love. There’s strength there and a real relationship. We have our ups and downs but we’re fighting through and making it work.”
Ups and downs? Fighting? Sounds like the relationship he has on the show with Chantal to me. Could it be her? We will find out March 14th!

“The Bachelor’s” Nikki Kaapke Launches Dekadent Diva!

Nikki Kaapke, star of ABC’s The Bachelor and Bachelor Pad, has founded The Dekadent Diva, Inc.,  a private cooking/catering company.

To celebrate the launch of her company, to promote her upcoming published cook book (The Dekadent Diva ~ Glamorous Cooking for the Simplest of Chefs) and to raise funds for the Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation, Kaapke will host “An Evening of Dekadence” in Chicago, Ill. June 11, 2011 at Soldier Field Stadium.

Guests of the launch party will be in store for a glittering event, greeted by a red carpet entrance, adorning formal black tie attire while enjoying a fashion show and celebrating with music, designer cupcakes, delicious food and bubbly cocktails created by The Dekadent Diva herself, Nikki Kaapke.

The event will also feature company’s models, The Dekadent Darlings and announce the (contest) the company’s “Darling of the Year” . The winner will grace the runway wearing a special charity apron (to be auctioned during the event) benefiting Bear Necessities. Also auctioned that evening will be autographed portraits of each Dekadent Darling and Divine Gift Baskets from The Dekadent Diva, Inc.

The Dekadent Diva offers services such as custom designed menus, private/group cooking lessons, catered dinner parties and designer cupcakes. Amongst Kaapke’s list of clients includes Ann & Jesse Csincsak and Molly Mesnick.

“Things have really taken off since The Dekadent Diva’s conception in October of 2010,” Kaapke says. “Friends missed my daily (Facebook) posts about my cooking while shooting for ABC’s The Bachelor Pad (July 2010) and recommended that I start a blog. The blog grew into a website, I was offered to publish a cook book and four months later I have clients, catered events, requests for designer cupcakes and overwhelming anticipation from fans to purchase their own Dekadent Diva cook book”.

Kaapke has always enjoyed cooking. While filming The Bachelor Pad, she cooked all of the meals for her fellow cast mates. Several dozen former cast members from the show will be in attendance for The Dekadent Diva launch party in Chicago this coming June. “It means so much to have my “Bachelor” family supporting me. We really are friends who back each other up for the important things in one another’s life”.

“When creating The Dekadent Diva, Inc. I thought of past American domestic icons like Donna Reed and June Cleaver. Today’s versions are Rachel Ray & Martha Stewart. I would like to consider myself a synergy of both worlds. Bringing back the traditional value of family time, sitting down at the dinner table together or entertaining at home with friends and family and merge with the modern flair and fun of today’s cooking”.

Kaapke has been an advocate of anti-Cancer organizations for over a decade and “immediately thought of giving back to the community” by officially partnering up with the Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation.

Ticket sales for “An Evening of Dekadence” are available now throughwww.eventsbots.com. For further details on the event contact Kaapke and The Dekadent Diva, Inc. via email at DekadentDiva@gmail.com.

Jake Pavelka Gets Recurring Role on “The Bold And The Beautiful” – Exclusive Interview

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW.

Jake Pavelka, the former star on The Bachelor, Dancing with the Stars and Drop Dead Diva, told CelebMagnet exclusively that he is filming several episodes of The Bold And The Beautiful in a recurring role of the pilot which he debuted earlier this month.

Pavelka, who is a commercial pilot in real life says, “I play a pilot and what’s ironic is that it’s harder to play a pilot than to be a pilot!”

On B&TB, Pavelka will be playing the Forrester family pilot  and was offered the role in part because producer Brad Bell flies planes as well. “Bell is a pilot and we have a lot in common.”

Don’t think for a second that his acting career will put an end to Pavelka’s flying days. He also told CelebMagnet that he is hard at work preparing for an aerobatic air show! He has buddied up with owner Rich Perkins and training in Livermore, CA.  Perkins, who used to fly the U-2 and was a senior flier of the T-38, and Pavelka are training for a two-ship air show which will debut shortly.  
As for his love life, Pavelka is still dating Meghan Jones who is a wedding planner in Dallas, TX and tells me, “Things are going great.” Pavelka was only too proud to show off phone pics of Meghan’s booth at the Dallas Bridal Show taking place this weekend.
What else is in store for Pavelka? He is looking to buy a home in Los Angeles and making this city his permanent home since it looks like his acting career is starting to take off…congrats on all fronts Jake!
