She’s growing up to be a really beautiful woman!

‘Real Housewives of O.C.’ star Alexis Bellino nearly averted tragedy this past Fourth of July weekend when two of her kids accidentally fell into a pool, TMZ is reporting. The reality star, her husband, Jim, and their children were celebrating the holiday at The Balboa Bay Club when the accident happened.
Security at the Newport Beach, California club told TMZ that Alexis and Jim were away “doing something” when suddenly their stroller carrying daughters Melania and MacKenna rolled into the pool!!
Several witnesses at the scene said a lifeguard pulled the stroller out of the water and one daughter was still in it. The girl’s father Jim then dove into the water to retrieve his other daughter.
Interestingly, Jim told TMZ, “There was no lifeguard needed or involved.”
Both of the two little girls are fine and didn’t require medical attention.
Can you imagine!!! Man, this story gave me the chills!

It’s over! Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski, who proposed on The Bachelorette, have called off their engagement, the new issue of Us Weekly reports. “I love him and I’m really sad, but I have to look out for me,” Harris, 29, tells Us. Adds Swiderski, 30, “We’re both kind of resetting. Jillian isn’t happy and I’m definitely sad about the whole thing, but we’ve got to work through some things on our own if we decide to move forward.” Last August, Us exclusively revealed that Swiderski juggled two girlfriends while wooing Harris on the fifth season of the ABC show (and even slept with one after proposing to Harris, but before the finale aired). “There’s bumps on the road, and we don’t always deal with them properly,” Harris told Us in early June. “Our life is not always perfect.”
Man, the Bachelor is on a roll! How many Bachelor/Bachelorette couples are left? Is it just Trista and Ryan? Oh wait – Jason and Molly, but they weren’t the original couple.

Katy Perry is not impressed with Miley Cyrus‘ moves to change her clean-cut “Hannah Montana” image to a raunchy one. When the “I Kissed a Girl” hitmaker saw the Disney songstress backstage at MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto last month, she immediately told a friend that Miley would follow the footsteps of Britney Spears.
“Oh my God, poor girl,” Katy said as quoted by Life & Style Magazine. “She’s Britney Spears all over again. It’s happening right before our eyes.” When her friend asked if she meant Lindsay Lohan, she answered, “No, she’s definitely headed the Britney route. It’s worse. Look at those outfits. It’s bad.”
Unlike Katy Perry however, Dolly Parton previously defended Miley Cyrus. She is adamant that Miley is just going through a rebellious phase and she shouldn’t be judged too harshly. “I’ve known her since she was a baby. I hate it when people criticize her,” she said.”She is a great singer; she has a great voice. She’s a great little entertainer and she can speak to you like she is 50 years old. She’ll land in the right place. I really know she has everything it takes. She is just trying to find her way and she will.”

I know this post is coming in a little late, forgive me. My husband and I have bought our first house, and we’re busy with all SORTS of projects before we can move in. (I still need to post my review of Eclipse!) So anyway, last night I was finally able to sit down and watch the Bachelorette from Monday. Ali is such a bore, I literally fast forwarded all the dates and the rose ceremony, because the gem I was wanting to watch was at the end… the “dramatic” interview between Jake and Vienna.
The whole time I’m watching the interview, I’m thinking Jake Pavelka is the biggest douche in reality TV!! He’s a bigger douche than Jon Gosselin if you ask me!
I didn’t get the impression that Vienna was lying, and even more, I could have sworn that Jake was going to up and slug her in the face a few times! He got so mad, you could literally see him simmering with anger! Thing was – he was pissed because he was being called out! He was being called out on all the crap he put her through, and he was literally speechless!
He was so rude, and soooooooooo arrogant, I was feeling Vienna’s pain. I don’t know how she managed to stay with him for 6 months!
Vienna talked openly about his anger problem, and that just made him more mad. He actually gave excuses to host Chris Harrison for why he got so angry with her, he didn’t even deny what Vienna was saying!
Vienna had finally had enough of his bullsh*t and walked off camera, which was the smartest thing she could have done. I think she did an AMAZING job sticking up for herself, and calling him out of everything – in front of the world. She just nailed him on everything from him being a fame-whore (I like how he tried to blame her for being a fame-whore back, like it was all her idea to stay in LA) to not being physical with her (he was “waiting for marriage!?” bwahahaha).
I hope that Jake’s day in the sun is over. I hope he doesn’t get anymore TV gigs, and he goes back to being a pilot. After watching this interview, I realize that Jake is a douche, plain and simple.

After a long day on location filming “Water for Elephants” actor Robert Pattinson, accompanied by rumored girlfriend Kristen Stewart, makes a special trip out to Hollywood to see one of Robert’s friends from London, musician Sam Bradley, perform live at “Hotel Cafe”.

If you watch the video below, you’ll see a tearful Lindsay Lohan pleading with the judge. She says she’s so sorry, she takes this all very seriously. She cries about how she just “didn’t know” she wasn’t in compliance with the terms of her probation.
But her nails showed a message with maybe a little more truth behind it? Her middle finger had f*ck you written on it, and it was pointed straight at the judge throughout Lindsay’s speech.
