It did not take Ali Fedotowsky much time to land a new job after giving up her sweet one at Facebook to be last season’s Bachelorette.
Ali will debut this coming Monday as a correspondent for Fox 5 San Diego, in the city which she and Roberto Martinez have taken up as their new joint residence.
Ali Tweeted today: “Thrilled to be a part of the Fox 5 San Diego news team! My 1st segment is Monday morning. Love being involved with the community this way :).”
Ali told E! News: “I’ll be focusing on relationship stories mostly. Some people may wonder why I would be good at talking about relationships and think it’s because I was on The Bachelor, but I actually studied relationships and intimacy in college.” Ali says she had offers from several national TV stations but wants to stay close to home. She tells E! News: “I don’t want work to take me away from San Diego right now. At least in the beginning, Roberto and I want to be putting everything into our relationship.”
Ali exchanged tweets with Fox 5 producer named Raha who told the newcomer, “Welcome to the FOX 5 family.” Ali tweeted back with: “Thanks. I am so excited to be a part of the @fox5sandiego family :)”
If you don’t live in San Diego, don’t worry. Per Ali: “Everyone can watch online @ http://www.fox5sandiego.com . Monday will be my 1st of (hopefully) many segments!”
Roberto will continue to work in insurance and launches his own business in November.
Elizabeth Kitt was first seen on The Bachelor as one of the 25 contestants vying for Jake Pavelka’s heart.
She was a gorgeous brunette then. On The Bachelor Pad, we now see her as an equally-beautiful blonde and I for one like both looks on her. Not many women can wear both hair colors equally well.
But Elizabeth has received a makeover from The Dove Studio in Santa Monica, CA and I think she looks more fabulous than ever – so fabulous in fact, that I wanted to share her before and after pictures with you! Continue reading →
If you have been watching ABC’s The Bachelor Pad, you know that Tenley Molzahn and Kiptyn Locke have been trying to hide their budding romance so the pair could stay safe from being voted off of the show. Continue reading →
Tenley Molzahn of The Bachelor Paddishes out on her experience in the house, her relationship with Kiptyn Locke, her fight with Elizabeth Kitt, her friendship with Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez, and who she thinks should be the next Bachelor.
Jake Pavelka is not sure why people think Whoopi Goldberg was harsh on him during his appearance on The View last Wednesday. He says she was actually extremely nice to him and he was totally star-struck with her.
It is true that she disagreed with Jake on camera. Whoopi asked Jake: “This was not your first acting job, The Bachelor, right?” Whoopi continued, “You were on Walker, Texas Ranger.” Jake then countered, “The Bachelor is not acting.” Goldberg shot back, “Darling, I’m afraid to tell you, you’re full of garbage. That is an acting job.” Jake insisted that he did The Bachelor “to find love.”
The media is making a big deal of this exchange but Jake makes light of it and tells CelebMagnet that Whoopi and he spoke after the cameras stopped rolling and she was extremely sweet to him. Apparently she believed Jake is looking for love because Whoopi reassured him: “Don’t worry, I am going to set you up and we will have you married before long.”
On that note, let’s pitch in and help Whoopi and Jake: If any of you ladies are interested in this handsome southern gentleman, drop me a line and I will let Jake know 😉 I think he may fancy blondes though since he is still gushing about how beautiful Elisabeth Hasselbeck is in person.
Here is part of Jake’s appearance on The View in case you missed it.
The Paparazzi video I posted of Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez was so well-received, I decided to post another video of the deliriously happy couple shopping in Beverly Hills.
Enjoy!

Ali Fedotowskychose Roberto Martinez on the finale of The Bachelorette last night and I could not be happier for the couple!
They are just adorable together and I think they may actually beat the odds and make it – well, at least as long as other couples make it these days who don’t meet on a reality show!
The Paparazzi caught up with the cute duo last night as they were leaving Jimmy Kimmel Live. Not sure why the tape ends with rant of an unknown voice, so, just ignore him! Best of luck to the two. (Photo courtesy of ABC)
Some favorite and many controversial past contestants from The Bachelorand The Bacheloretteput on an amazing wrap party and red carpet show last night held in celebration of the upcoming August 9th premier of ABC’s Bachelor Pad. From fan favorite DeAnna Pappas to the entire cast of men recently rejected by current Bachelorette, Ali Fedotowski, there were plenty of reality stars on hand for the evening festivities which started with interviews and ended with a private party at the exclusive A-list hangout, h.wood.

Although I wish Vienna Girardi well and was saddened to hear how unhappy she was in her relationship with Jake Pavelka, I am all about Team Jake. When it comes to their very public and gut-wrenching breakup, I don’t care who is telling the truth, who is lying and who did what to whom. All relationships have issues and problems and nothing is ever a one-way street. And none of what happened between those two is any of my business – and so, I won’t write about it.
All I know is that Jake Pavelka has always been nice to and extremely open with me whenever I have seen him around town and I don’t have one negative thing to say about him. So I feel the urge to help clean up his image a bit. I also want to defend him against the accusation that he is a “fame whore.” I see that everywhere and it is just not a fair assessment.
I ran into Jake the day the news about his breakup with Vienna first hit the stands and I found Jake hiding from Paparazzi. Call me crazy, but I would think “fame whores” would run to instead of hide from cameras. I actually helped Jake calm down by telling him, mistakenly I learned later, that the Paparazziwere not there for him but instead for Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens who happened to also be around our vicinity at the time. I was wrong as I saw a picture of Jake from the same time period in the tabloids later that same day.
When someone nearby asked him that day “Who are you that the Paparazzi thinks so much of you?” Jake simply answered, ” I am nobody. I was on a reality show. That’s all.” Those words would not come from the mouth of someone who is “smug,” “arrogant,” and “publicity hungry;” some other false adjectives I have read describe Jake.
Anyway, what’s the big deal about wanting to be famous or on TV if that is what Jake wants to be/do?? How many of us would turn down an opportunity to act on TV or make TV appearances? I can safely say no one I know in LA would avoid such chances, including myself. So, why can’t Jake pursue such activities – let’s give the guy a well-deserved break and stop all the judgment.
I ran into Jake again today as he was rushing to get to Dodger Stadium. It was the first time I have seen him since the airing of the ABC special where he and Vienna went about 12 rounds throwing mud at each other. Jake flashed me a smile as he ran by and asked me how I have been doing since we last met. I said unbelievingly, “How am I doing? Are you kidding me Jake? How the heck are you doing?” He just smiled back. I think he looks like he is doing great considering his world came crashing down not too long ago.
Jake was in a rush because he was on his way to Dodger Stadium where he threw the first pitch at tonight’s game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Florida Marlins.
Jake is also flying again and he Tweeted this picture yesterday. Jake surely looks great in any uniform, whether it be a Dodger jersey or his pilot attire.
Next up for Jake is an appearance on The Bachelor Padset to premier on ABC August 5. I don’t know if I will be watching since the little faith I had left inThe Bachelor series went out the window with this break up. The fact that another Bachelorette couple, Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski called it quits today doesn’t help either. [UPDATE: After meeting the cast of The Bachelor Pad at their Red Carpet Event, I changed my mind. The cast has me all excited about this show and I can’ wait to tune in.] Jake will also be on the August 22nd episode of Drop Dead Diva. Here is a sneak peak of that episode:
[Update: This is a post I wrote in April. Click here for another post I wrote about an encounter with this couple earlier in June, just two weeks before their public breakup. Amazing how things change so quickly in the game of “love.”]
If you ask Vienna Girardi, the answer is a resounding, “YES!” Contrary to everything you have read elsewhere, Vienna and Jake Pavelka, ABC’s most recent hookup on The Bachelor, are madly in love. STILL. I have seen them all around town being as lovey dovey as any other couple meeting in conventional ways. Vienna herself is sweet as pie in person, so, you can’t believe all the mean things you have read about her on other sites. Vienna told me that Jake is extremely adventurous and is taking her to Vienna, Austria this summer just because she is named after that famous city. When I told Vienna how cute a couple I found them to be, she pointed to Jake and emphatically said, “He is the real deal. He made me believe in love again.” AW! I am sure Jake has made many other viewers of The Bachelor believe in love all over again as well. Way to go Jake and Vienna.
