Jessica Sanchez: “Phillip Phillips Deserved To Win” [PHOTOS/VIDEO]

Jessica Sanchez is a big fan of American Idol winner Phillip Phillips. The Idol runner-up told reporters right after the finale: “I really think that Phillip deserves to win and I’m so happy for him…He has his funny side and his humble side and he’s just an amazing, original artist.”

Well, Ms. Sanchez, can’t we say the same about you? Having met you now on several occasions I can honestly say they don’t come any more funny or humble or talented than you do. Not to mention cute. Congrats!

Jessica was spotted at The Grove in Los Angeles the day after the Idol finale, telling Mario Lopez of Extra that right before Ryan Seacrest announced the winner, Jessica whispered in Phillip’s ear that he was going to win. Jessica also told Rolling Stone that she was not surprised that Phillips won. “Not at all – he has such a big fan base. We both do. We both thank our fans so much. But he’s a real “artist” artist. He always sounds like him. He sang so many different songs and always sounded like himself. I’m so proud of him, and I’m glad it was him,” Jessica said.
Well, I am proud of you and I wish you could have won as well.

Emily Maynard Names Front-Runners On The Bachelorette [PHOTOS]

SPOTTED: The new “BacheloretteEmily Maynard was at The Grove May 22 for an interview by Mario Lopez for “Extra!”

Maynard would not tell Lopez if she found love or got engaged on the show but she recently told reporters that she “was happy before the show, but really happy now.”

“I had a million reservations [about being the next Bachelorette] and I said no to anybody who would listen. But time went on, we started talking again, and they were so accommodating that it was [too] great an opportunity to pass up,” the 26-year-old single mom said.

“I had a great group of guys. I had the time of my life and learned so much about myself,” Maynard added. “It was the best experience getting to travel and to give Ricki the opportunity to see things she wouldn’t have otherwise.”

When asked who the front-runners are, Emily named a few of the men including Sean, Ari, and Jef…but she wouldn’t divulge any more than that!
