There is such thing as a ‘Bachelorette’ happy ending!

Ashley Hebert went on ABC’s The Bachelorette in 2011 hoping to find a fairy-tale romance…and she did! On Dec. 1, the reality star tied the knot with J.P. Rosenbaum at the Langham Hotel, located at the base of the picturesque San Gabriel Mountains in Pasadena, Calif.

“Ashley looked gorgeous walking down the aisle!” a guest at the wedding tells Life & Style. “They seemed so happy and in love.”

The happy couple exchanged heartfelt vows in front of about 300 family members and friends, including fellow stars from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, namely Sean Lowe, Molly and Jason Mesnick, Ryan and Trista Sutter, Emily Maynard, Jillian Harris, and former couple Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez. Host Chris Harrison, who first introduced the newlyweds on the air, officiated the ceremony.

The couple’s romantic road to the altar began when J.P. proposed at sunset on a private island in Fiji in May 2011. After the gorgeous ceremony, the couple will return to their home in Princeton, N.J., and look forward to their next chapter together.

“She’ll be the best mom ever,” J.P. has said of Ashley. “She’s very maternal.”

Fans can tune in to see the newlyweds exchange vows on The Bachelorette: Ashley & J.P.’s Wedding, airing Dec. 16 on ABC. Be sure to pick up next week’s issue of Life & Style, on stands Wednesday, to go inside the happy couple’s gorgeous nuptials.

Ex “Bachelorette” Jillian Harris is moving into a cardboard box, in the brutal cold of Canada…but don’t worry, people! It’s for CHARITY!

The Season 5 Bachelorette tells TMZ that she’s going to spend a night on the streets of Vancouver with nothing more than a sleeping bag and a piece of cardboard to raise awareness (and money) for homeless youth. Jillian, who currently lives in Vancouver,  is teaming up with Covenant House on this little adventure because she says “it’s heartbreaking to think about all the kids and families” who don’t have roofs over their heads as winter approaches.

The event goes down Nov. 15th, and know how cold it will be? 36 Degrees (with a 10% chance of rain). YIKES!  If all goes well, Ms. Harris hopes to raise about $11,000…and maybe one of the donors will throw in an electric blanket? Geesh!

The rumors over who will be the next Bachelor on ABC’s hit reality show are already spreading.

One person on the tip of everyone’s tongue is hottie Roberto Martinez.  However, host Chris Harrison is making it clear that Roberto has not been cast on the next season of the Bachelor just yet.

“I will confirm it, he’s not the Bachelor, we’ve not named anybody to be the Bachelor yet,” Harrison told Radaronline.com in an exclusive interview at the ESPN The Magazine ’Body Issue’ launch party in Los Angeles on Tuesday night.

“We don’t need to, we don’t name anybody so early,” he explained. “I love the speculation and that people are talking about our show but we just don’t need to make decisions yet.”

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Ali Fedotowsky’s former fiance won’t be picked for the part further down the casting process, as the longtime host is notoriously close-lipped about leaking secrets on the show, but he did give Roberto his seal of approval if he is chosen.

“He is a great guy, I love Roberto. First of all I hear he’s stunningly handsome, and he’s a very nice guy, he has a lot to offer and would be a great Bachelor. I would put my vote behind him but luckily I don’t have a vote,” he laughed.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, even Ali claims she would be OK with the casting move, recently telling Wetpaint Entertainment, “I just hope he’s happy.”

Harrison hinted that the ABC producers may still pull a rabbit out of their hats and go with a completely fresh face for the show. “We would absolutely have an unknown again,” he told Radar.

“We are always casting and we are always scouring the country and the world for new people. If we found someone who we thought was a home run and he was an unknown we would absolutely make him the Bachelor,” Chris explained.

While he is coy about Roberto, one thing Harrison was very open about was his excitement of Bachelor Pad 3, which he promises will be raunchier than ever.

“The Bachelor Pad premieres on July 23 and it is so good. I love it!” he gushed.

“It is such a guilty pleasure even for me to host, and this season — unlike last year where everyone was coupled up early –  was mayhem. Just get a cheap box of wine and sit back and enjoy,” he advised viewers, emphasizing a box, and not a bottle of vino!

I do remember Roberto from Ali’s season.  He was one gorgeous man!  I wouldn’t mind him as the next Bachelor.  Or even Sean from Emily’s season.

Who would you pick for the role?

Courtney Robertson thinks she has a bad reputation – and she’s like to clear the air a bit.

The highly-loathed fiance of Bachelor Ben Flajnik, 29, is planning on writing a tell-all, according to In Touch.

“She felt like she was portrayed as the villain, so she wants to get her side of the story out there,” an insider tells In Touch.

The source says that Courtney plans to expose some of the show’s biggest secrets! “From the late night calls from producers telling her exactly how to act and respond, to calls from the production company to talk about her appearing on Bachelor Pad, Dancing With the Stars, and The Bachelorette, Courtney wants everyone to know what really goes on behind the scenes of some of Hollywood’s most beloved reality TV shows,” the insider tells In Touch.

No word yet on how much the 28-year-old model will dish on the famous men in her past, including Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe and Jim Toth (before he was married to Reese Witherspoon). However, she will be spilling about Ben and “the truth about their much-gossiped-about relationship.”

“She knows she may have to change names and facts for legal reasons, but she’s ready to do it,” says the insider to In Touch.

I would never read this book. I consider myself to have a bit of morals, I mean I’m currently working my way through the ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ books. Too busy.

How many of you are watching ‘The Bachelorette’? I’m ashamed to admit that I’m watching it – and I will watch it the entire season. Even when it gets SUPER cheesy and hard to watch, I’m still going to hang in there. I don’t know why I’m drawn to this hot mess, but I am. SEASON AFTER SEASON!

Are you liking Emily as the Bachelorette? And more importantly, what do we think of her shoes.

New Bachelorette Emily Maynard liked her life pre-Bachelorette, but now she is REALLY happy!

Though she won’t disclose more details about her Bachelorette season, she did dish to People.com about her daughter, life and the search for true love.

On The Real Emily: “The guys came in having an image of me in their head but as they got to know me better, they all said, [I was] nothing like they thought I’d be and that it was a good thing. I’m feisty and sassy. It takes a little bit for me to really feel comfortable but I’ve never been called ‘boring’ in my normal everyday life.”

Which Guys Got Noticed Right Away: “I loved Ryan’s note. That was sweet and endearing. Jack rolling in on a skateboard was so cool. Even the cheesy ones were great icebreakers because you are so nervous. But Travis with the egg was a tough one even in the moment. And some of the guys who didn’t make the strongest first impression really surprised me.”

Emily’s Dating Style: “If I was a single 26-year-old without a daughter back home, I’d be doing the same things the other Bachelorettes did. But Ricki is at the forefront of my mind with dating and everything. I wouldn’t get in a hot tub on a first date in my everyday life so I sure as hell am not going to do it on [TV].”

On Explaining the Cameras to Ricki: “I like to keep her sheltered. She’s not at an age where she can even begin to understand the reason for the cameras. I told her it was for a very elaborate home video that she could watch way down the road. … Ricki’s life was not really affected at all. She was very protected throughout the entire process. She didn’t see the guys. I got to spend a lot of time with her, take her to school and do all my mom stuff.”

Bachelor host Chris Harrison is now a bachelor himself!

The host, who was chosen to be the masthead for The Bachelor and The Bachelorette franchise for his strong marriage, called it quits with wife, Gwen, after 20 years.
Sources say the split was very friendly, and the two are looking forward to having a close relationship for their two children.  Harrison, 40, sure did make the marriage last a long time (in Hollywood terms), but I’m still disappointed at this news.  What do you think-  will he keep hosting? Will he be on the show?

Thoughts?
