Wes Hayden, The Bachelorette’s “baddest boy of them all,” just wrapped up a guys’ weekend in Austin with some other former contestants from the show.

“Tanner [Pope,] who lives in Dallas, drove up while Mike [Stagliano] and David [Good] and the rest of the guys flew in to have a good time and see me,” Hayden tells People. “I loved hanging out with the guys. We had a great time.”

What does a group of bachelors do during a guys’ weekend? While some of the guys went to Lake Austin Spa Resort to get pampered, the whole group hit local hotspot Ranch 616, where they shared dinner, drinks and dish about Bachelorette winner Ed Swiderski — and those claims he was unfaithful to his new fiancée Jillian Harris.

“I had no clue whether Ed had a girlfriend … while we were on the show. I really didn’t know about any of it,” he says. “But if it’s true, I feel really bad for Jillian. I don’t know what to believe to be honest with you. I feel bad for Jillian and for Ed. But if in fact he was doing what everybody’s been saying, then man up and deal with it.”

The controversial country singer, who told People not to believe everything you see on TV, expressed doubt about whether romance can blossom on the show.

“I have a hard time grasping that any of the show’s intentions are genuine,” he said. “If Jillian and Ed and their relationship is truly genuine, if she honestly came on the show looking for love and thought that she found it and then found out that it was all made up and Ed was cheating on her, then that’s awful.”

As for Jillian, Hayden says, “We connected on the show and we’re always going to be friends.”

But he’s moving on and focused on his music career, still pushing his first album Full Circle.

“I’m not dating anybody; I’m way too busy right now,” he says. “I see a lot of my sister right now though. She goes on the road with me wherever I go … But you know, if I meet the right woman, I’d like to settle down someday.”

Kourtney Kardashian wasn’t the only person shocked by news of her pregnancy – younger sister Kim Kardashian was also surprised.

“I don’t think she’s envious,” Kourtney said of Kim on Ryan Seacrest’s 102.7 KIIS-FM radio show Thursday morning. “Who knows though – Kim gets mad if I get the car that she wants … she like freaks out! [But] she definitely thought it was going to be her first, trust me.”

The Keeping up with the Kardashians star, 30, who’s expecting her first child with on-again boyfriend Scott Disick at the end of the year, says she hasn’t picked out any names yet – but already has some choices, thanks to younger sisters Kendall and Kylie, who have lists.

As for how the dad-to-be is holding up, Kardashian says Disick is “excited, but I think he has his moments where he’s really scared.”

“He was way more excited than I was,” she adds. “He definitely wasn’t as nervous or scared [as I was, but] then I think once I was fine with it, then he gets scared.”

Kardashian – who says it’s still weird to say she’s pregnant – has been hiding her burgeoning belly by wearing “jeans I can’t button and a big shirt,” and knew she was expecting when her body and appetite began to change.

“[My breasts] were so sore,” she says. “I would get really lightheaded and I got nauseous. I would get nauseous at nighttime. I would have to eat Saltine [crackers] at all times of the day.”

As for having an unplanned pregnancy she says, “This sounds probably so dumb but there’s so many times I’ll forget to take my pill and just don’t think it’s that big of a deal,” Kardashian admits. “I’ve done that several times and never really thought about it. It sounds so stupid.”

Will she and Disick be tying the knot any time soon? “I don’t know,” she says. “We’ve talked about it but I feel like there’s so much going on that I can’t even go there.”

Steven Tyler says that in thousands of concerts he’s only fallen off the stage four times – but this last one was worthy of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

“I landed upside down, and after twenty stitches on the back of my head, and a broken left shoulder, I just want to say that I’m plain grateful that I didn’t break my neck!” the 61-year-old Aerosmith lead singer said Thursday in his first comments since last week’s accident that left him with a broken left shoulder and 20 stitches on the back of his head.

Tyler said everything seemed to be going perfectly at the Aug. 5 show in Sturgis, S.D., where after a storm caused a one-hour delay, “Tens of thousands of my biker buddies were ready to rock!” He called it “one of the best shows we’ve played in a long time! The band was slammin’ and I was lovin’ every minute of it!”

The first trouble came when the fuses on the equipment blew and the sound went down in the middle of the song “Love In an Elevator.” “Well, I wasn’t gonna go hide under the big top and play ‘ROCK STAR’ and wait for everything to be fixed,” he said in his statement. “I wanted to go out to the crowd to continue the show … so, the Train Kept A-Rollin’ and I ran out on the cat walk and grabbed my mic to finish the song.”

That’s when things got out of hand. “I was doing the Tyler shuffle and then I zigged when I should have zagged … AND I slipped, and as I live on the edge … I fell off the edge!” he said, expressing relief that he survived the ordeal.

Tyler thanked fans “for your love and support” and paid tribute to the band’s crew and the venue’s staff “for taking care of me in a time of need,” as well as the police department and the helicopter crew “for getting me outta there before I bled to death.”

He also thanked “all the doctors and nurses at the Rapid City Hospital for putting my Humpty Dumpty ass back together again.”

“And most of all … I want to thank the angel on my shoulder,” he said. “Looking forward to seeing all of you very soon.”

Michael Phelps was just involved in a three-car accident in his hometown of Baltimore.

Phelps reportedly emerged from the wreck unscathed, but a woman in the other car was shaken up and taken to a local hospital.

The accident occurred around 9pm local time.

A police spokesman says the Olympic Gold Medal winner was driving a Cadillac Escalade, which collided with a Honda accord.

We’re told by witnesses on the scene — the two cars collided after someone ran a stoplight — and then hit a third car that was not moving at the time.

Police are investigating the cause of the crash.

One of the local papers is reporting that a passenger in Phelps’ car was also injured, but it’s unclear as to the extent of that person’s injuries.

We’re told there is already a tow-truck on scene removing Phelps’ ride.

UPDATE: Cops tell TMZ alcohol was NOT a factor in the crash.
