ABC recently announced that in addition to the new season of The Bachelor that will air this spring, The Bachelorette will return this summer.

DeAnna Pappas, who along with Jenni Croft was famously rejected on the last season finale of The Bachelor, is first on many lists of prime candidates for The Bachelorette. What kind of star would she make on this hit spin-off?

If she were to become The Bachelorette, DeAnna told BuddyTV:

"I would approach the experience with a very open mind. I would also do my best to try to be very understanding considering I would know exactly what the guys are going through! I will approach it with the hope of finding one amazing man that hopefully I can live happily ever after with in the end."

Seen here flirting with Brad Womack, DeAnna Pappas also talked about what kind of dates she would like to plan if she were The Bachelorette.

"[Brad Womack] told us he was able to help the producers with some of the ideas for the dates... the circus date, the pool date, etc. Those types of dates were my favorite because I am so a low key, easy to please person," she said.

"I'm not a very girly girl. Diamonds and fancy dresses don't impress me! Flowers either for that matter. I guess if I could choose the dates, I would love to go to a baseball game and drink beer! A football game even. Maybe something active like white water rafting or on a boat at the lake. That's real life for me."

Whether or not DeAnna Pappas becomes The Bachelorette is not known, but let Reality TV Scoop join the chorus of sites championing her candidacy.

Here's a scary tag team: Vince McMahon and Donale Trump will team up on this week's edition of Celebrity Apprentice.

The WWE Chairman and billionaire boss actually have a fake rivalry: they each chose competitors to represent them and do battle at Wrestlemania 23. It ended with McMahon, due to an earlier bet, having to shave his head when his wrestler lost.

"I invited Vince to come on because I loved my victory over him at WrestleMania 23, and I thought maybe I'd take it to the next step," Trump said. "Vince is the greatest showman there is. Whether you like him or not, Vince is a smart guy. He's cunning, he's sharp and I did listen to his opinions."

Monique Coleman stars in High School Musical, but she also made an appearance on season three of Dancing with the Stars. Her partner at the time, Louis van Amstel, is pictured with her below.

The actress has blogged about her account of the current Dancing with the Stars tour. Here is an excerpt from it, courtesy of People magazine:

It's been fun to meet new people, reconnect with the dancers, and have some time to myself on the road. I was on tour with High School Musical last year and that was fun â€" but a lot more hectic. For starters, I shared a bus with Ashley Tisdale. This time, I've got my own tour bus and so after each show I come back and just chill. It's heavenly!

My friend Autumn has been traveling with me and we're having a ball. The past couple of nights we've been catching up on our [TV] viewing. I was traveling a lot last year for HSM so I missed some of my favorite TV shows.

I'm catching up with season three of Grey's Anatomy and bawling my eyes out. Literally I cried my eyes out for hours â€" O'Malley's dad died and I lost my mind!

I'm friends with Sabrina Bryan and we're having a great time spending time together and catching up. The other night after the Cleveland show we had a little party in her bus. We played Nintendo Wii and hung out and had a blast.

I got to meet Wayne Newton and he is such a great guy. What a legend! That was an honor for sure.

As reported earlier, Rachel Rosales and TK Erwin won The Amazing Race 12 last night.

Our friends at BuddyTV sat down with the couple and asked about the victory:

You guys must be feeling pretty good right now, huh?
TK: Yeah, it's a weird...it still doesn't feel real, I can't explain it. I feel like I'm pretending to be on a team that won The Amazing Race.

What's it like watching yourself win a million dollars on TV?
Rachel: It is really surreal. Once it hit it was like yes, this is happening, there it is, we're all done. But we've known that we won for a really long time and we've had to hold it in for so long that I think it still just feels weird that people know.

Saaphyri may have won $50,000 during Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School. But she wants more than money.

The reality TV contestant apparently wants another shot at Flavor Flav, as she'll be appearing on the third season of that rapper's lovefest. Below, Saaphyri comments on various aspects of herself and her odd hopes/dreams:

What is the appeal of Flavor Flav?
"I've never been one for looks. That has never been my thing. I've dated some guys that have probably looked worse than Flav, but they had good hearts, or at least I thought so at the time. It was never about the appearances. I want to get to know a person. Plus, Flavor smelled so good."

What about all his children?
"I get along really good with kids. They always seem to like me. I am not a good disciplinarian, so as long as someone else does that, it's all good. But for Flav, if his baby's mommas are happy, then he's happy I guess. I'm all good with the kids. I've met his kids actually. They are real sweet."

So, why should Flavor Flav should her this time on Flavor of Love?
''I am not like any of the past girls. Plus, he needs to give me a second chance. He kicked me out too quick. He didn't even get to know me in Season 2. I am a loving, and now "charming" lady."

What, did you think Tiffany Pollard simply chose Tailor Made, he proposed and the couple lived happily ever after?

We suppose that's still possible, but some words - and fists - were exchanged first during the I Love New York 2 reunion show. Check it out:

Rachel Rosales and TK Erwin won The Amazing Race last night. This "newly dating couple," as the show billed them, conquered a pair of other teams to come out on top of the twelfth-season of this competition.

"I can't even believe it... I'm really speechless," TK told host Phil Keoghan after he crossed the finish line with Rachel. "None of this even seems real. It's kind of freaking me out."

Rachel, a 23-year-old florist and business owner, and TK, a 22-year-old substitute teacher were the first team to reach the end in Anchorage, AK. They claimed the $1 million grand prize.

"This whole things was such a crazy roller coaster with so many ups and downs," said TK. "To do it with Rachel, I think our relationship has only grown through this whole thing. And for that, that's more important than any of this for me."

"Father/Daughter" team Ronald and Christina Hsu finished second.

Jaslene Gonzalez, the winner of season eight of America's Next Top Model, is using her fame for causes she believes in.

The beauty recently headed to Washington, DC to host The CW Washington DC "Teens Count" High School Fashion Battle.

The event is a fashion show competition in which local high schools compete for prizes, including a trip to meet Kimora Lee Simmons. The benefit also honors a non-profit organization whose mission is to provie rewarding experiences for local area youth who are interested in pursuing a career in the performing arts.

While Gonzalez took on the hosting duties, the judging was handled by singer/actress Taraji Henson of Hustle and Flow fame, and Paul Wharton, whose credits include MTV's Made and VH-1's The Agency.

Would you watch Britney Spears on a trapeze? Or Kim Kardashian being shot out a cannon? You may get your chance this summer.

ABC is bringing this classic competition back to the airwaves. It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like: celebrities are teamed up with circus performers and attempt feats they have no business trying.

Look for it this summer.

Not to be outdone - by awful ideas - NBC is thinking about airing a series called "Celebrity Circus." Oy vey.

During a stop by The Tyra Banks Show, Hillary Clinton addressed the question on everyone's mind:

Which reality show would the presidential hopeful want to appear on?

"In my dreams," Clinton said, "I would be on America's Next Top Model, but in reality I would have to chose my limited talents and of them, dancing is better than singing. You do not want me to sing."

Looks like we can scratch American Idol off Hillary's list.

In the end, Clinton announced her decision: "I think it would have to be Dancing with the Stars, especially if I could have one of those really good partners."
