Rachel Uchitel Barred From Tiger Woods Mistress Beauty Pageant

She'd be down, but due to her settlement with Tiger Woods, Rachel Uchitel cannot participate in the mistress beauty pageant that Howard Stern wants to throw.

Sad, we know. But this is Howard Stern we're talking about. He is a resourceful, driven individual, and he's not about to let this genius idea fall by the wayside.

One of Rachel's friends approached Howard's people today, asking that a cardboard version of Rachel in various states of dress could compete in the pageant.

Yes, really. Stern's show is trying to put it together and offer a $100,000 prize. Best of all? He's already got four Tiger Woods mistresses lined up to take part.

Living, breathing ones!

Rachel Uchitel was Tiger Woods' favorite mistress, and the first to be exposed. She'd likely win a beauty contest of all of his mistresses, if she were allowed to take part.

He's not saying who, but you know Jaimee Grubbs is game, and rest assured, a cardboard cutout of Rachel Uchitel could still easily win this title.

Joslyn James, Tiger? Really? Theresa Rogers? Honestly, dude?

In case you were unaware, the reason Uchitel can't participate is because of theseven-figure deal she signed with his camp to keep quiet about their affair.

This apparently wouldn't constitute discretion ... wonder why.

No (More) Plastic Surgery For J-Woww

They both star on MTV reality shows, but Jenni Farley is no Heidi Montag. You won't be seeing her get 10 operations in one day. She may not even get one.

Despite rumors that she’s getting ready to go under the knife for a second round of breast implants, Jersey Shore star Jenni, a.k.a. “JWOWW,” says no way.

A girl's got integrity, after all.

During an appearance on The View Tuesday, the large-chested JWOWW was asked if she was planning to get even bigger implants, as has been reported.

“No,” she said.

JWOWW in the famed yellow shirt. That's just wrong.

The reality star did note, though, that she would be willing to replace the ones she has. Could that mean with bigger ones? Can they even make bigger ones than that?

“I got [the implants] when I was younger; at a certain age you can only get saline not silicone,” she said. “That’s the only thing I would consider … Switching them.”

Good to know.

JWOWW and the rest of the Jersey Shore cast are set to “escape the cold Northeast and find themselves in a new destination” for a second season of their reality hit.

Help Screen Dates For Whitney Port!

Last we heard, Whitney Port had a new man in her life. But are she and The Buried Life star Ben Nemtin an official couple, or still in the beginning stages?

We ask because Whit has been soliciting dates on her official site, and asking fans to weed out the prospects. Not a bad project for fans of The City star.

In honor of the new movie She's Out of My League, Whitney Port is doing a promotion where a lucky applicant can win a date with her in the Big Apple.

Understandably, there was no shortage of applicants.

Whitney Port could be yours (for a day)! [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

"Thanks so much to everyone who entered to win a date with me!" she wrote.

"I had so much fun reading all of your comments, and after a lot of thought I was able to narrow it down to five semi-finalists who I had submit videos."

"I wanted to share them with you so you could help me pick a winner," Whitney Port added. "Please leave comments and help me decide who I should choose!"

Sadly, none of our interns were picked. Which is too bad, because they seriously heart Whitney. Oh well. To help our girl screen prospective dates, click here.

She may really need our help, too. The taste she's shown on two seasons of The City has been suspect. Freddie Fackelmayer? Please tell us that was staged.

Chris Harrison Pimp-Slaps Rozlyn Papa

As a figure of speech, of course. As the upstanding host and pimp of The Bachelor for approximately 200 seasons, Chris Harrison always gets the last word in.

Usually, it's "ladies ... the final rose tonight." This week, he's speaking one last time on the Rozlyn Papa scandal that resurfaced on the "Women Tell All" special.

"You won't hear me speak out about Rozlyn any more after this interview," Chris told E!. "All I wanted was for everybody to see what you saw in the special."

"I think everybody should and will be moving on now."

All he wanted was to show you an edited version of him railroading Rozlyn? Perhaps, but Chris was nothing if not cool, calm, collected and classy on Monday.

After Rozlyn Papa insinuated that he hit on the wife of Ryan Callahan (the producer Rozlyn was booted for her relationship with), Chris simply shrugged it off.

It's hard out there for a pimp, but you gotta persevere.

"I feel really good about it," Chris said. "I wanted the audience to hear the details, what the women saw, how [Rozlyn and the producer] made it so obvious."

Rozlyn still denies anything inappropriate took place with Callahan, but that's fine with Chris, who's confident the evidence was presented and the point made.

As for Monday's finale, when we'll finally learn if The Bachelor spoilers of Vienna winning are nauseatingly true and how Jake and his airhead bride are doing?

"I feel bad if this [scandal] has taken away from our finale," Chris said. "I hope people will move on, because Tenley, Vienna and Jake deserve it. It's a really good finale; it's one of the most beautiful finales we've ever had. It'll be really great to watch."

Spencer Pratt: Addicted to Crystals, Fame

Stories about Spencer Pratt and his plastic wife keep on getting more ridiculous. The latest? The Hills' resident villain is addicted to crystal, allegedly.

Not crystal meth or Cristal, just ... crystals.

In an effort to find enlightenment (he's very spiritual), he's been seen with his favorite rock recently. Honestly, there are photos. Says Spencer Pratt:

“I am so addicted to crystals, it’s a sickness. I’ve spent $500,000 on crystals this year. I checked my bank account last night, and I have $203 left.”

Lies. But humorous ones at least.

We got nothing. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

During Valentine's Day, Speidi "hung out with our puppies and cuddled with our crystal. It’s supposed to bring love. There’s a whole science to this. I’m not crazy.”

No, of course not. Although he may be lying. We saw Speidi's Valentine's Day pictures, and let's just say it involved lingerie, chocolates and ... we're gonna puke.

As for the new fascination of Spencer Pratt, he might be overpaying at half a million for one crystal, according to an expert hilariously cited by Life & Style ...

“Certain crystals are associated with different types of energy, yes. But [$500K] doesn’t sound right to me. Most of our crystals range from $1 to $100.”

So he's either full of it or overpaid by about 5,000 times the market value. Somehow we'd bet on the former. Think how much plastic surgery that'd buy.

Kristen Stewart Praises Robert Pattinson in Remember Me

Though some people question the validity of the source, it now seems official:Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are a couple.

The former Twilight Saga star stated this in simple terms to The Sun over the weekend.

With that in mind, Stewart's recent praise of Robert's performance in Remember Mecan be seen as a girlfriend supporting her man. Isn't that sweet?

“I’ve seen the movie, I’m going to just say... He’s really good in the movie.” Stewart told MTV News. “It’s like, he’s everything I know he is. I know he can do any film.”

Kristen continued:

"Not everybody can play every part. He is really strong in the movie. Maybe people won’t really expect that - he’s quite bold, which is great.”

To that sentence, she then added... in bed!

Okay, fine. We added that. We're just excited that Robsten is out in the open now and psyched to go see Remember Me. Will you be lining up for this March 12 release?

Lilly Scott and Michelle Delamor Lead Night of Wobbly Women on American Idol

Before we break down each American Idol performance from the first night of live auditions, we must say: The judges seem confused.

They chose a slew of Taylor Swift-like guitar players, laid back contestants (Didi Benami, Crystal Bowersox, Janell Wheeler, etc.) with a quiet sound, and then complained last night when the women played to their strengths. Simon continually said he didn't have any "Wow!" moments, but, in many ways, he didn't select any "Wow!" contestants for the semifinals.

Below, in descending order, we rank our favorite performers from the evening:

1. Lilly Scott: Played with the arrangement on “Fixin’ A Hole” by the Beatles and stood out with her original sound/look. Comes across as a "real, indie artist," as Randy said.
2. Michelle Delamor: Almost seems like a professional singer already. We wouldn't have chosen an Alicia Keys song because it sets the bar too high, but Delamor can wail. If this is an actual singing competition, based on the best voice, she's the best woman.
3. Siobhan Magnus: Different, dark, we liked her version of "Wicked Game" a lot. Falls somewhere between the acoustic players mentioned above and Delamor.
4. Crystal Bowersox: We can't get enough of the harmonica, but that alone won't be enough to carry her to the title.
5. Katelyn Epperly: Didn't like the look. As Ellen said, she was trying too hard. But nice, blues-like version of a Beatles song.
6. Didi Benami: The perfect song choice (“The Way I Am” by Ingrid Michaelson), but what will her range be like? Seems like this is the exact performance she'll put on every week.
7. Paige Miles: The biggest surprise of the night, only because we scarcely saw her on previous weeks. A great voice.
8. Janell Wheeler: Attempted to go outside of her comfort zone and rock out to Heart's "What About Love." Points for trying, at least.
9. Katie Stevens: We agree with the judges. You're adorable. Choose songs that are younger and more fun. But amazing pipes.
10. Ashley Rodriguez: Shockingly in danger already. But unless fans want nothing but Swift wannabes, will give this potential rocker another chance.
11. Haeley Vaughn: Just awkward all around, from her look to her version of "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
12. Lacey Brown: Atrocious.

WHO WAS YOUR FAVORITE PERFORMER ON THE NIGHT?

Adam Lambert Critiques Susan Boyle, Album

They were linked throughout 2009 as artists that burst onto the scene and captured the heart of music fans in wholly contrasting ways:

Adam Lambert was loud, in your face, sexy, gay, proud and confident.

Susan Boyle was quiet, timid, reliant on an opera-like voice that's been hidden inside a (let's face it) ugly body.

Both released debut albums in November, with Boyle's breaking records and dominating the charts for months. Lambert's fared well, but it didn't stand out in nearly the same way.

Now, Adam has ripped into the Scottish singer, saying in a recent interview:

If only it weren't for Susan Boyle! I'm happy for her success, but that album is terrible. "Wild Horses" is the one that made me laugh the hardest. I just died when I heard it, I was crying with laughter. It was the most horrendous, sacrilegious treatment of that song!

In his defense, Adam says he's been misquoted. He and Susan appeared on Oprah together last month and certainly seemed to get along well. He was also clearly laughing when he said the words above, but it's not hard to see why they've created such a stir.

We're enormous fans of Lambert and have defended him against critics since his run on American Idol. But it's hard to have any reaction to these comments, IF he said them, aside from: Bitter much?!?

Lambert's honest and open attitude is a major appeal, but anyone can go too far. When the target is a singer who has outsold him by millions, the attack just seems fueled by jealousy and pettiness.

Was Lambert joking around when he critiqued Boyle? Probably. But he should have known better than to go on record with such pointed words. If he referred to to the album as "terrible," then he's entitled to his opinion - but so are others that believe he should have thought more about these comments.

** UPDATE: Through discussion with fans of Lambert, we have modified this article's headline. They are correct that the initial version - "Adam Lambert Rips Into Susan Boyle" - was unnecessarily harsh and did not paint an accurate picture of Adam's comment.

Bar Refaeli Rides The Situation

Certain sentences should just never be written.

But unfortunately the above headline had to be, as it is literally, disturbingly and hilariously true. Bar Refaeli's legs around some random guido's head? Wow.

Mike Sorrentino, a.k.a. The Situation from Jersey Shore, got a chance to party hardwith Leonardo DiCaprio just last month at the hot nightclub Voyeur in L.A.

You can see where the night headed after many drinks.

The Sitch posted some Bar Refaeli pictures on his Facebook page following a shoot with Leo’s girl for Interview magazine. It's hard to blame him for it, really.

As she sits aloft the reality star’s shoulders, champagne in hand, with his muscles flexed beneath her, not even The Situation quotes can do this image justice ...

WE GOT OURSELVES A SITUATION! Oh yes. That much is obvious. But is it one Leonardo DiCaprio would be okay with? Eh, probably. He's kind of the man.

Happy Birthday, Trace Cyrus!

He's not as famous as his 17-year old sister.

Nor is he as racy as his 10-year old sister.

But Trace Cyrus does have something his famous siblings can't lay claim to: a birthday today! He turns 21.

Trace is a guitarist and singer for the band Metro Station. He made news in the summer of 2009 for dating Demi Lovato and then for trashing The Jonas Brothers.

As seen below, Cyrus is clearly a graduate of The Matthew McConaughey School of Dressing. Send him your birthday wishes, and possibly a shirt, right now...

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: Back in Love!!!!!!

After fake breaking them up for a few months now, a prominent celebrity gossip magazine has officially brought Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie back together.

It's a reunion that is nothing short of heartwarming.

Earlier this week, in between takes of her latest film, the couple shared a very public kiss in front of photographers, LEAVING NO DOUBT that they are in love.

That's according to Star, which spent the better part of the last three months trying to convince us of the opposite, based on little to know factual information.

All is right with the world now, though. After their kids "begged them to stop fighting," Angelina and Brad have made peace and mended their "fractured" love.

Pretty easy to fix what ain't broke, no?

BACK IN LOVE: Brangelina is back on, reports Star, which implies they were ever off. In other news, the twins are out of hiding, which implies they were somehow hiding.

"The change of scene and the fact that they're all together in one place has done wonders," a source said. “Angie believes she can actually be happy with Brad again.”

Brad even managed to bring Angie and her long-estranged dad, Jon Voight, together! Over the weekend, father and daughter enjoyed the beautiful sights of Venice.

That's where the Jolie-Pitts are based for Angie’s movie shoot, The Tourist, with Johnny Depp. Next week, Star will probably report on Depp cheating with Angelina.

That or Jennifer Aniston will come after Brad again. That lonely, pathetic hag just can't keep her mitts off her ex-husband in the tabloids for the past five years now

Mary-Kate Olsen and Nate Lowman Break Up

Mary-Kate Olsen and Nate Lowman have been together a long time, and have maintained a relatively low-key, seemingly stable relationship. Impressive.

It's over now, though.

The actress-design mogul confirmed her split from Nate Lowman, Us Weekly reports, quoting their rep saying, "No, they are not [together]. It’s been a while."

That settles that.

Nate Lowman had a good run as Mr. Mary-Kate.

Olsen and Lowman began dating in 2008 after meeting through mutual friends. There were rumors he got her pregnant and in late 2009 that they got engaged.

Neither happened.

Last year, her rep told Us that celebrity gossip rumors that the two are engaged were "untrue." Not only that, they possibly were not together at all then. Oh well.

Here's wishing both the best in their return to the dating scene.

Zachary Loring, Audrina Stalker, Goes Off on Judge

Zachary Loring, the lunatic Audrina Patridge stalker facing felony stalking and three misdemeanor charges for showing up at her home, appeared in court this week.

It was an appearance unlike any the judge will ever see again.

Having violated a restraining order against him for previously delivered violent letters and drawings to The Hills star, Loring made one thing very clear Tuesday:

He's better off in jail, or in an institution, than on the street.

Audrina's all smiles despite being stalked. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

First, Loring tried to contradict his own lawyer’s plea of not guilty. The judge told him to be quiet, after which the accused stalker flicked his tongue and flipped the bird.

The attorney repeated his objection to the presence of a camera in the courtroom, while at the same time Loring asked either the lawyer or the judge this:

"How many donuts did you eat to day? You have bacon sprinkles on that?”

Definitely original and a good way to appear sympathetic before officials.

It got worse. Zachary Loring complained the court was “wasting [his] f*%kin’ time” and began pretending to jerk off into the camera. Classy, very stable fellow, this one.

Has Kourtney Kardashian Made a Deal with the Devil?

When two trusted sources of journalistic integrity - such as Life & Style and In Touch Weekly - publish contrasting stories, it's a bit like watching parents fight.

Whose side do you take? Who in this world can you trust? Where does the truth lie?

Such is our reaction today, as Kourtney tells Life & Style that she loves Scott Disick and really wants "to make it work."

"Everything between us is amazing," she said. "It's definitely been hard. But I just reached a point where I needed everyone to get over it. This is the father of my baby.

HOWEVER, this cover of In Touch Weekly paints a very different picture... literally!

In breaking, truly startling news, the tabloid states that Kourtney and Scott actually don't get along. They are - gasp!!! - faking their relationship for the camera. It also begs the question:

Is E! the "Devil?" We always thought that was Spencer Pratt, or the Smoke Monster from Lost, but we're open to it being any network that airs a show dedicated to the life of Bill and Giuliana Rancic.

Cocaine and Alcohol Cited for Reasons Behind Charlie Sheen Rehab

According to his rep, Charlie Sheen has entered rehab as "a preventative measure."

The associate wouldn't elaborate on this reason and we may know why: sources say Sheen is trying to prevent a further relapse into cocaine and alcohol.

RadarOnline.com claims the Two and a Half Men star has fallen back into the dangerous habits that led to a pair of previous stints in treatment centers. For the sake of his family, Sheen had no choice but to step away from his sitcom for a few weeks.

“He loves his children and ultimately that’s what convinced him to get help,” aninsider said.

Friends say the Christmas Day confrontation that has led to charges against Sheen was fueled by a bender both he and wife Brooke Mueller were on. Each had been partaking in drugs and alcohol that night, allegedly.

“But the partying didn’t stop there. He’s used coke and been drinking many, many other times since then," the source said, even adding that Sheen got high with Mueller the night before she went into rehab.

It's unclear what the future now holds for this couple, but this much in undeniable:Two and a Half Men is incredibly lame and unfunny.

Kelly Osbourne Loses Weight, Gains Publicity

Kelly Osbourne is a three-time veteran of alcohol and drug rehab. That's kind of pathetic. But the 25-year-old says being fat caused her even more grief.

"I took more hell for being fat than I did for being an absolute raging drug addict," she says in the new issue of Us Weekly. "I will never understand that."

The 5-foot-2 Kelly Osbourne, who recently made headlines for calling out Tila Tequila, once weighed "almost 160" pounds. Now? Less than 120 pounds!

That's good enough for major attention on a slow week, apparently. Which isn't to say she doesn't look great or deserve praise, because it's no small feat.

Here's a before and after photo comparison ...

Kelly Osbourne before and after dropping 42 pounds. Amazing!

Kelly recalls walking down the street one day and "some horrible obnoxious teenager screamed out a car window to me, 'you're fat!'" she tells the periodical.

"I went to my parents bawling, 'I would rather be called ugly than be called fat!'" She says she "hated" herself but "never wanted to do anything to fix it."

"It's hard to get out of a hole you've dug so deeply."

Indeed. But after years of yo-yo dieting, Osbourne has lost a ton of weight and in a healthy way,through regular exercise and a portion-controlled diet.

In other words, no Kim Kardashian sellout moves.

"I'm really proud to look in the mirror and not hate every single thing I see," Kelly says. "I no longer think, Why don't I look like this girl or that girl?"

Stefani Talbott Claims Affair with Matthew Fox

Lost star Matthew Fox is being accused of an affair with Stefani Talbott. He is married. She is a stripper. Who does this dude think he is, Josh Duhamel?

While the intel is sketchy, the National Enquirer and In Touch are both on this alleged scandal, and the former knows a thing or two about mistresses.

Rielle Hunter, Rachel Uchitel and Nicole Forrester come to mind.

In any case, the 25-year-old claims she slept with the actor twice last year, having met him in July while working at the Stars Cabaret in Bend, Oregon.

“These accusations are false,” Fox's rep said, and they very well may be. But Stefani Talbott is coming forward with her story about their alleged run-in.

“I was dancing onstage, and I made eye contact with him immediately. I got so excited,” she said, having recognized Matthew from the hit ABC series.

Stefani Talbott says she had sex with with Matthew Fox. Twice!

Matthew, Stefani says, started by buying her a drink, then paid for four private dances, each worth $20. “He asked, 'Why are you working in a place like this?'"

"I told him that I am a single mom and needed the money.He absolutely did not mention a wife or family, and I don’t remember him wearing a wedding ring.”

“He didn’t tell me to keep it a secret or anything. He didn’t even use protection. He didn’t seem concerned at all,” Stefani Talbott confesses to In Touch Weekly.

Despite club rules about dating customers, Stefani says she left her 5-year-old son with a sitter and met Fox at a house he was staying in with his entourage.

“We sat around and talked all about his show. He complimented me and was saying how down-to-earth I am. Pretty soon, things heated up," she recalls.

Eh, who cares, as long as he didn't give away any Lost spoilers during pillow talk. It would be much more alarming if those got out than sordid sex details.

Jake Pavelka and Ali Fedotowsky: Reuniting on (or After) The Bachelor?

Fans hoping for a fairy-tale ending to The Bachelor may get exactly what they want ... well, no they won't, unless your idea of a fairy tale is Vienna Girardiwinning.

Or so we've heard. But OK! Weekly is spinning quite a yard in its new issue about "what’s next" for Jake Pavelka and Ali Fedotowsky, who "put their love on hold."

OMG it is meant to be. You can't stand in the way of this love, Tenley Molzahn. Take a hike, Vienna. Neither can match Jake and Ali's unbridled passion ... right?

Wrong. But OK! really wants you to believe this.

The star-crossed pair melted into each other’s arms in a reunion behind the scenes at the taping of ABC’s The Bachelor: Women Tell All, the magazine suggests.

SECRET REUNION: Is one in the cards for Jake and Ali? We don't buy it.

It was every bit as romantic as their fans wished it would be, too ... it almost makes one forget how Ali Fedotowsky left the show to become the nextBachelorette.

“They both held each other as long as they could and had their arms wrapped around one another,” a witness says. OMG, we are getting hot just thinking about it.

There is no doubt Jake was into Ali - she was his frontrunner, he says - but are they in love now? OK! claims they are, and claims to know things about ...

• The secret reunion (unlikely)
• Their hotel hookup (more unlikely)
• Ali's past (more dead relatives' houses?)
• Jake’s current feelings for her (likely G-rated)
• Jake's plan to win Ali Fedotowsky back (arrive out of nowhere in pilot's uniform a few episodes into the next season of The Bachelorette)

We wouldn't hold your breath for any of this, no matter how MFEO you think Jake and Ali are. If you believe these rumors, you need serious help, BTW.

Celebrity Fashion Face-Off: Blake Lively vs. Selena Gomez

Blake Lively vs. Selena Gomez. Gossip Girl vs. Wizards of Waverly Place.

Budding rivalries in the making, both of them. But one thing is for sure - both young starlets look gorgeous in gay blazers, as seen out on the town recently.

The Gossip Girl star added a sexy twist to hers in October with leather pants (somehow it just works because it's Blake Lively, but it wouldn't work for you).

Meanwhile, Selena Gomez kept the tweed jacket casual (and a little more age appropriate) with plain ol' jeans two weeks ago. That definitely works too.

Kellan Lutz for PETA: Clothed, Pushing for Adoption

Come on, Kellan Lutz.

It's not enough that you have a ridiculous body? You also need to love animals and pose with puppies more adorable than all the Twilight Saga stars combined?

The actor stars in a new PETA campaign. Unfortunately, he isn't naked, like so many other animal-loving celebrities have been when appearing in ads for this organization.

But Lutz still has an important message to send, as the poster below reads: “Buying Animals Is Killing Animals. Save a Homeless Dog or Cat - Always Adopt and Never Buy.”

Said the actor:

"There are surprisingly so many animals in these animal shelters. It’s sad, and knowing that they get euthanized... and there’s a lot you can do... spay or neuter your pets so that doesn’t happen.”

Seriously, Kellan. You already have a hard body. Must you match it with a soft heart?

Leave some girls for the rest of us, will ya?

Larry Birkhead: The Latest Cry for Attention

This is how a real pimp rolls.

Once the cameras grow weary of your attempts to remain in the news by thrusting your daughter in the spotlight, you must adjust. How does a dedicated, shameless attention-getter change things up?

By exploiting his deceased child's mother, right, Larry Birkhead? The former lover of Anna Nicole Smith was spotted out in attire that bears her face this week.

A former celebrity gossip photographer, Birkhead knows what sells. That's why he's seen here in a shirt that honors Anna Nicole Smith in the most appropriate way possible: by milking her likeness for fame and fortune.

It's really not a question of how much Birkhead made for posing with this top on. It's a question of how he sleeps at night.

Justin Bieber Pictures: Too Cute To Be True?

Let us answer the question posed above immediately: No, Justin Bieber pictures are not too cute to be true.

These actually exist!

The 15-year old singer put on a show for fans in Paris this week that grew so out of control, police almost got involved. Such is the life of a teen heartthrob.

Below, fans can click on a slew of Bieber photos from the event. Be warned, however: these pics make puppies look like Heidi Montag, post-plastic surgery!

Connection to Songwriter Might Pose a Problem for Didi Benami

The live performances have scarcely begun, but controversy has already enveloped this season of American Idol.

Semifinalist Todrick Hall was embroiled in scandal last summer when a Tennessee production he played a role in never actually aired any performances, depriving the families involved of money.

More recently, Chris Golightly was booted from the top 24 (and replaced by Tim Urban) because he had signed an exclusive contract with a boy band.

Now, one of THG's early favorites might be in trouble: Didi Benami has a connection to judge Kara DioGuardi that some might say gives her an unfair advantage on the show.

Didi Benami possesses a unique sound and a genuine stage presence that makes her among the favorites on American Idol.

Benami has worked with Jason Reeves, a man she referred to as a “magical genius collaborator" and thanked on her MySpace page last April. The pair wrote the single "Pretty Fool" together.

Who is Reeves? A friend and songwriting partner of DiGuardi's.

Would this affilation have any actual bearing on the competition? It's unlikely. But as the most popular show on TV, American Idol must be extra careful about any appearance of favoritism. This is a situation worth keeping one's eye on.

The Bachelor Spoilers: Season Finale, After the Final Rose Details Confirmed

From the beginning of the season, The Hollywood Gossip has been covering every second of the contrived, but entertaining action that is ABC's The Bachelor.

We've also been passing on The Bachelor spoilers that, at least until now, have proven to be correct. But there is great speculation brewing about the finale.

Does Jake Pavelka really pick Vienna Girardi over Tenley Molzahn? Even in light of some of the stories that have surfaced about the former in recent weeks?

Is there a shocking twist, such as Jake dumping both girls, a la Brad Womack, or areunion with Ali Fedotowsky, who left the program to return to her "job"?

Jake Pavelka nears his heart-wrenching, terrible decision.

Some of the online rumors we've read heading into Monday's season finale and subsequent "After the Final Rose" special do suggest that shocking scenario.

Other theories? Vienna dumping Jake on the ATFR show. The ending was re-filmed after Jake changed his mind. One of the two is pregnant. The list goes on.

Well, our man Reality Steve, whose inside intel has confounded Mike Fleiss and delighted THG for several seasons, has come through again with ATFR scoop.

This is obviously not confirmed, because we were not in the room for the ATFR taping, but the man is rarely (if ever) wrong, so his spoilers are pretty legit.

Follow the jump to read who Jake chooses on the season finale Monday and the status of their relationship as of the "After the Final Rose" taping (last week):

Lauren Conrad: What's Her Best Hairstyle?

As celebrity fashion icons and trend-setters go, Lauren Conrad is extremely popular, especially among her younger fans. The girl can pretty much do no wrong.
