The Bachelor becomes the L-word?
Yeah, yeah, we know if was Episode One, but we couldn’t resist sharing Chelsea Handler’s take on, uh, how friendly the gals seemed to be getting with each other when poor Ben wasn’t around.
What, what what? The whole straight girl goes bi-curious on a drunk dare thing is sooooo 1999, laydees. Then again, if goofy, drunk, questionably motivated gal-pals are what you’re after, the Bachelor House may be the perfect spot for these (sorta) chick-lovin’ chicas.
As fascinating as it might be to see a real girl-meets-girl romance spark up, this snuggle-up seems as painted on as their spray tans.
All we can think is…what’s next? Showing off tattoos and revealing belly-button rings? A stripper pole showdown? Oh you silly girls. You’re so outraaaaaaaaaageous!

Ben’s blogging in People magazine (and Nigerian Daily)
People magazine jumped on the Bachelor bandwagon Monday with a blog written by Ben Flajnik himself (if the byline can be believed). It’s filled with gratuitous references to Sonoma (“I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I was to take the women to my hometown of Sonoma, Calif., and show them where I come from and how important community is to me,” and “Right off the bat when the women arrived in Sonoma, I was excited to hand… Read More »
