Late last week, rumors started flying around that Chris Harrison is dating Bachelor reject Selma Alameri, prompting many of us to scratch our heads and wonder how in the heck these two managed to get together.

Oh come on, remember Selma? The chick from Sean Lowe's season who was too embarrassed to kiss him on TV but then wound up planting a fat one on him right before he sent her packing? (Ohhh, that Selma.)

Yeah, well supposedly she and Chris were seen looking all lovey-dovey at a bar in L.A. last Thursday, and one source says he was introducing her as his girlfriend.

But it sounds like there isn't any truth to the claims, because Selma is denying that she and Chris are an item. She told E! News, "We happened to be at the same place but we were not together. He's a good friend and a sexy guy, sure, but we are not dating."

Whew! That's a relief. No disrespect to Selma, but she doesn't exactly seem like Chris' type. He's a great guy and all, but something tells me as a newly divorced man, he's not exactly in the mood to take things slow and steady in the physical department, if you know what I mean. (Dude totally wants to get it on by the second date.)

But it probably is about time for Chris to get back out there and play the field a bit, which is why he shouldn't avoid the reality TV scene altogether. OMG. Why hasn't ABC made him The Bachelor yet?!? He's only, like, the perfect candidate -- and he could even save whoever the host of his season is some work by handling all aspects of the rose ceremony himself. "Ladies, this is my final rose tonight. If you did not receive one, get the hell out of here because I think you're ugly, dumb, psychotic, insert derogatory adjective here."

Or if he's really dead set against being The Bachelor, former contestants of the show aren't a stupid place to look for love -- he just needs to go after someone he has a bit more in common with than Selma. What about AshLee Frazier? I hear she's available -- and she's definitely ready for something serious. Or how about all those rumors saying Chris was into Emily Maynard during her season? (Can you blame him?) They'd be pretty cute together.

Sigh. Don't worry Chris, the perfect girl is out there. But while you're looking for her, you should probably cross anyone off the list who isn't willing to go to the fantasy suite before tying the knot.

Do you think Chris and Selma are right for each other?

Desiree Hartsock Sees Chris Siegfried’s Embarrassing Side -- Will It Make Her Love Him or Leave Him?

If it's Monday and the earth is still spinning on its axis, Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried are frantically trying to convince the public at large that they are desperately in love. You know what might help bolster the idea of their happiness more than all of these social media updates? A little radio silence! We could all just quietly assume that they'd sauntered off for some naked alone-time as real couples are wont to do.

But Des has decided that silence is for the birds, and Chris agrees with her. If it has happened in their daily lives, they have chronicled it for our reading pleasure. I am surprised we are not all receiving alerts when one of them uses the bathroom. But it looks like the bloom might be falling from the rose, because check out what annoying habit Des revealed might drive her and Chris apart.

The dude is a terrible singer! And like many terrible singers before him, he decided to break out his best Madonna while driving along with his beloved. Des playfully tweeted to all of their fans that singing ain't exactly Chris's area.

Can you imagine Chris staring unblinkingly at Des and wailing the chorus of "Like a Virgin"? I die. The poor woman had no choice but to tweet it out. It was do that, or throw herself from the moving car. In all relationships sooner or later, our partner's quirks rear their tuneless heads. It looks like that's already happening for Des and Chris. With the added pressure of being under such scrutiny, these little irritating quirks could easily become deal breakers.

Do you think it's normal for Des to be sharing this much about Chris?

Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried's Labor Day Lovefest -- Are They the Real Deal? (PHOTO)

How did you spend your Labor Day? If you are Desiree Hartsock or Chris Siegfried, the only answer is 'desperately in love and totally together and touching each other all the time always.' Whatever the rumor mill might be spouting, Des took to Twitter to let the world know -- she and Chris are totally still on.

Des posted pics of herself and Chris enjoying some volleyball over the long weekend. She also mentioned treating themselves to massages. While it's good to hear that the couple seems to be deeply in smit, it's all a little, well, hard to swallow. Could this be a case of the lady protesting too much?

This season of The Bachelorette was, in a word, gut-wrenching. (Okay, so technically that's two words, but still.) Seeing Des and Chris all lovey-dovey for the cameras can't banish the memory of just how wrecked she was when Brooks Forester decided to call it quits.

There's something to be said for moving on and letting new love heal the wounds left behind by the old ones. Even so, the images of Des weeping in the wake of Brooks shafting her are hard to shake. In the fast-paced compressed reality of The Bachelorette-universe, we worry that Des might push herself to get over Brooks too quickly and inadvertently hurt Chris in the process.

Do you think Des and Chris are the real deal?

Chris Brown está mintiendo atrapa hasta a él en la corte

¿Harto de Chris Brown? Únete al club! Un fiscal de distrito de Los Angeles y un juez ya están ambos miembros. Juntos sólo se aseguraron que la cantante pasará por lo menos 1.000 horas trabajando por el bien del mundo enservicio comunitario ordenado por la cortesu cola.

Resulta que Breezy ha estado haciendo no es bueno... otra vez. La cantante debía estar haciendo comunidad servicio ya--parte de su libertad condicional por golpear a Rihanna en ese caso famoso de violencia doméstica.

Pero según TMZ, Brown estaba tratando de tirar una mala pasada en el Tribunal, manipulando su papeleo para que parezca que había completado los 180 días--1.440 horas--de trabajo comunitario inicialmente le ordenaron hacer a cambio de no ir a la cárcel en el caso de Rihanna.

IDIOTA!

La buena noticia es que las mentiras no ayudan más. No tendrá ningún crédito por qué trabajo hacía. En cambio, Chris Brown fue dictada una orden para hacer 1.000 horas de trabajo. También está atrás en libertad condicional, que fue revocada después de ese desastre hit and run hace un rato.

Enseño y a meterse con tu papeleo, amigo!

¿Crees que Chris Brown aprenderán la lección esta vez?

Alguien tenía que 'Soltera' finalista Brooks Forester burla de la poesía de Chris Siegfried!

Pensamos que habíamos oído lo último de Forester Brooks, el hombre que Didn't amor soltera Desiree Hartsock. Le rompió el corazón y la dejó para casarse con otro hombre de sus sueños... Cuál era su nombre? Oh Sí, Chris Siegfried. También conocido como Chris me supongo que te 'll hacer, el prometido de emergencia. Eso va a terminar bien, estoy seguro. Pero ahora, en lugar de ser un caballero sobre el asunto, Brooks burla de Chris y, para todas las cosas, sobre la inclinación de Chris para la poesía.

Recuerde hacer de Chris con el verso en el show. Mientras que en una cita de playa en Portugal, hizo Desiree componer un poema con él, escribiendo en papel pergamino y enviarlo al océano en una botella. Qué romántico incómodamente cursi. ¿Y sabes qué? Ahora sería un buen momento para un anuncio de servicio público: a pesar de que su escuela secundaria profesor de inglés, dijo que no todo el mundo puede escribir poesía. Realmente deberías dejar eso a los profesionales. Al menos, garabatear tus tonterías en privado, pero lo quemaron. Por el amor de todo lo que su Santo, no leído en la televisión nacional.

Bien, avance tan rápido hasta ahora. La serie terminó. Ganó Chris el Bardo. Y mira quién se burla de él. Vía Twitter, Brooks plumas unas líneas poéticas él mismo: "el tiempo vuela como una flecha. Verduras volar como un tomate". En caso de que fueras a darle el beneficio de la duda y proponer que tal vez él sólo le gusta escribir poesía, también, agregó Brooks, "poemas están escritos y poemas se leen pero gracias a @ChrisRSiegfried poemas están muertos. #MuchLoveChris."

¡ Ay! Chris mató a poesía. Iba a regañar Brooks por ser un deporte tan mimado por un juego que esencialmente perderá. ¿Es muy buena forma para burlarse de un competidor que dejaste ganar? ¿Qué es eso siquiera, de todos modos?

Pero tal vez Chris merece ser Burlada por su desempeño schlocky. Brooks tal vez sólo está revelando una farsa lo que es este juego de despedidas de soltero/todo. Es cada pedacito como forzado y sacarina como verso torturado de Chris Siegfried.

Estaba bromeando acerca de no-poetas escribiendo poesía. Por todos los medios, Exprésate. Llevar tu corazón en su manga. Sólo no fingir que estoy seguro de que Chris ha estado fingiendo todo el tiempo.

¿Crees que es grosero de Brooks para burlarse de la poesía de Chris escribiendo?

'Bachelorette' Desiree Hartsock Should Admit She Won't Marry Chris Siegfried 'Tomorrow' ... or Maybe Ever

dinsdag 13 augustus 2013

Since coming out of hiding and proudly declaring themselves an engaged couple on TV, Desiree Hartsock and fiance Chris Siegfried have been making the media rounds, fielding all sorts of Qs about their relationship. Of course being that there's a Neil Lane ring on it now, everyone wants to know Des and Chris's wedding details. Sounds like they still have some decisions to make as far as the exact date -- though they're thinking June -- and location ("It's gone from destination to small chapel to winery," Des shared), but Des seems certain about one thing: She'd marry Chris "tomorrow" if she could!

Besides bad poetry, the couple seems to have an affinity for repeating some specific company lines over and over again to the press, and one of Des's has been all different versions of "I'd marry him tomorrow if I could!" While some may see it as romantic, it also seems more like she's trying to prove something ... 

Because, come on, what's the big deal? They got engaged in a matter of weeks. If she "could," "would," "will" marry Chris tomorrow, why not just do that now, too?

More from The Stir: 'Bachelorette' Desiree Hartsock & Fiance Chris Siegfried: Their Wedding Details & More!

I'll tell ya why not. Because the couple either has their doubts -- which I wish they'd just admit, especially considering how they ended up engaged! -- and/or they want to take it slower/non-TV paced. They probably want to try living together and seeing how they fare before actually tying the knot. Something I wouldn't blame any couple -- who met in the real world or a reality show -- for doing!

But instead, Des keeps saying she'd forgo the whole normal, down-to-earth relationship process to marry Chris tomorrow. I don't buy it, and let's hope neither does she! Let's hope these two take as much time as they possibly need to make sure their engagement wasn't just for show.

Do you buy that these two would get married tomorrow "if they could"?

'Glee's Chris Colfer Has to Grieve Over Cory Monteith in His Own Way (VIDEO)

Chris Colfer, who plays Kurt Hummel on Glee, has opened up about the death of his friend and costar, Cory Monteith. He sat down with The Huffington Post to talk about the return of the cast to Glee and was naturally asked about Cory. I imagine it must be tough to be on Glee right now, as this is the first question anyone is going to ask. But it just goes to show how beloved Cory, and the show, are. The interviewer asked him about how he was doing in the wake of Cory's tragic death. He said:

It's difficult because it's hard to mourn someone, but it's another thing to mourn someone with the world.

He then went on to say how fans actually have TOLD him how to mourn. Which is kind of bizarre. But listen.

Chris said:

I think a line needs to be drawn, because it's really unnerving to get messages from people, from 12-year-olds in Nebraska telling you how to mourn and telling you how to pay your respects.

People telling you how to mourn is just insensitive, but many of us have probably done it and probably didn't mean to be insensitive. Chris is talking about young fans, and they are certainly too young to know how to respond to death and to deal with death. But adults do it too. All it takes is saying something like, "When do you think you'll be over it?" or "Why don't you talk about him more?" or "You shouldn't throw/give away her clothes, you might want them someday!"

The reality is that everyone mourns differently. Some people may want reminders of the loved one around. To look at pictures or video of him or her every day. To talk about him or her every day. Some prefer not to. That doesn't mean that the person isn't being mourned. But some people prefer to do it more privately or to try to "move on" by not being constantly reminded of the person.

I've had a lot of people I loved die, and I've never been one to cling tenaciously to "things" that the person owned or wore. I have pictures of loved ones who have passed on in view -- but for a long time I couldn't even look at photos of my niece, who died at 7. If anyone thought that was insensitive, they would be wrong. But I burst out crying in hysterics each time I looked at her, and I just got to the point where that was seriously affecting my health and job.

Ditto pets that I've loved. I keep their ashes, their photos, but it's hard for me to look at them. I had a video of my cat that I had for 16 years and I looked at it precisely once. Of course, I burst into racking sobs. I decided not to do that again.

That isn't to say that I'm not grieving and not processing. But I'm more likely to want to tell stories about someone along the lines of, "I remember when so-and-so and I went to ..." rather than, "I can't believe so-and-so isn't here! I miss him/her so much!"

That's just the way I am, and everyone is different. 

The cast of Glee may find themselves in an awkward situation where they are all expected to grieve the same. Getting together on set may mean that some people will want to talk about him. Others may not.

It's always difficult to know how to approach someone who has had a loved one die. I remember seeing an acquaintance of mine whose sister had passed away a few years before. As we said our hellos, my mind was nudging me to say something about her sister. And yet I had no idea if that is what she would have wanted. Maybe she didn't want to be reminded of her at that particular moment. I didn't know where in her grieving process she was. So I didn't bring her sister up. And then I felt bad that I didn't.

Grieving is one of the most difficult, most painful, and most private of emotions. Let everyone who is grieving do so in the way they feel is right for them.

Have you ever been told how to grieve?

Chris Brown’s Probation Is Revoked After He ‘Goes Ballistic’ on Another Woman

dinsdag 16 juli 2013

Given all of the trouble Chris Brown has gotten into lately, it's hard to believe the man was supposed to be on his best behavior since he's on probation stemming from his 2009 beatdown of former girlfriend Rihanna. Maybe Chris has been on his best behavior -- but between the fights with Drake and Frank Ocean, the scary murals on his estate walls, and crashing his Porsche, it's hard to tell. One bout of misbehavior finally caught up with him, though -- and now Chris Brown's probation has been revoked.

In May, Brown reportedly fled the scene of a fender bender without giving the other driver his license and insurance information. He also reportedly freaked out on her when she tried to take his photo because he wouldn't give his name to her. Listen to how this went down and then try to tell me Brown has changed.

According to police reports, after Brown rear-ended a woman who was at a stop light, the woman handed over her license information, but Brown refused to give her his. After she called her husband and asked him what to do, he told her to insist on the information. Again Chris balked, so she tried to take his photo and that of his companion in the car -- his girlfriend Karrueche Tran.

The couple "went ballistic" when the woman, identified only as Olga in the police report, tried to take their photo. As a recent emigre, Olga didn't know who Brown was, but I imagine Brown and Karrueche didn't want their pic out. Especially when he was supposedly dating Rihanna at the time.

Brown reportedly began screaming at the woman and tried to grab her camera. Of course he did. Did we expect anything less?

Then Karrueche reportedly yelled, "Don't touch her!" and offered her own license, saying it was her car -- which it wasn't. Because Brown always manages to find some woman who will try to cover up his bad behavior.

Said the woman: "I was so shocked that I was speechless. Just a moment ago he was a nice guy. After screaming some insulting nonsense for a while longer, he slammed a door and drove away fast and noisy."

Yeah, those types will turn on you quickly.

Prosecutors did not ask for Brown to spend time in jail and I doubt he'll spend a day there anyway. Anyone else who bashed in a woman's face and left the scene of a car accident would spend at least a day or two in the clink -- but not Brown. It'll be interesting to see how many scrapes Karrueche tries to get her man out of before waking up to the truth about him.

Do you think Chris should go to jail?
