UPDATE: TV Guide reports that the TMZ story (below) about Brad getting hospitalized is untrue. An ABC spokesperson says Womack called 911 to assist a man "having a panic attack in the park near Brad. [...] The incident has nothing to do directly with Brad. He just made the call." Maybe Brad is a prince after all!

Brad in the hospital? TMZ reported today that Brad was "was rushed to a hospital in Texas earlier today for a non-life threatening medical issue" according to a "law enforcement official." No word yet (or possibly ever) on what that issue was, but their source says Brad was later seen walking around the hospital with his twin Chad, and a rep at The Bachelor said, "Everybody is fine."

Emily says, "Don't believe everything you read." The Bachelor breakup headlines are still all over the tabloids (at least at my grocery store!) but Ms. Maynard took to her new Twitter account (@RickisMommy) on March 17 to show her fans that she and Brad are together and happy, despite rumors and doubts that surfaced after their awkward After the Final Rose. The couple is still shying away from the press to work on their relationship, but US Weekly published two photos--one of Brad and Emily in Austin at the South by Southwest festival last week and one of Emily in Charlotte, NC today--both of which show Emily still sporting her engagement ring. I hate to contribute to invading their privacy even further by reposting these photos, but I hope fans are happy to see they're still going strong!

Or maybe not? Maybe they're not shying away from the press, I mean. People got an interview with the couple, and the issue hit newsstands Friday. The interview doesn't contain too much new material, except that Brad and Emily both said they want to have more kids soon. After the TBD wedding, I'm assuming.

Brad's last deleted scene ever: Check out this deleted scene from last Monday's finale in which Brad gives Emily his final TV rose ever. (We hope.) POP QUIZ: Can you guess what words Brad will keep saying over and over in this video, like maybe she didn't hear him the first time or he doesn't think she believes it or he just doesn't know what else to say? I bet you can. Guess now, then watch!




Bachelor Hotels: The Huffington Post has this slideshow of the fancy hotels featured on The Bachelor, in case you're rich and bored and want to plan a Bachelor-inspired world tour where you stay in all of the hotels where Jake and Brad and Ali stayed and let their unrealistic love auras just wash all over you. Imagine walking into every lobby in awe, thinking, "Chris Harrison stood right here, where I am standing." MAGICAL! Your (future) husband will love it, for sure.

Only TWO dental subtitle suggestions from you guys for Ashley's season? You can do better than that! I'm not sure I get "Gargle and Rinse" (is it about how Ashley is gonna make out with a bunch of dudes so we hope she keeps her mouth disinfected?) but "Brace Yourself" makes sense and is funny, orthodontia/dentistry differences aside. I definitely need to brace myself before each season of The Bachelor airs.
