After publicly declaring they wanted to get hitched in the Bahamas – where they’d fallen in love on The Bachelorette – DeAnna Pappas and fiancé Jesse Csincsak’s "destination" wedding may be changing ... destinations.

“At first we said the Bahamas and now we’re kind of torn between a few different places,” DeAnna Pappas told People on Thursday.

They do know, however, what they’ll be wearing.

“I’ll wear a white dress, and we are going with some brown bridesmaid dresses, that’s all I care about,” said Pappas, 26.

As for the snowboarding pro and his fellas? “We’re not going to wear tuxes,” said Jesse Csincsak, also 26. "We’re going to get custom-made suits. I might wear some Nike 6.0’s instead of uncomfortable dress shoes.”

The couple, now in full wedding planning mode, is said to be planning an all-out celebration for their scaled-down May 9, 2009 nuptials.

“We want to do like a four-day weekend where you do a Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday,” said Jessie Csincsak.

“My family and her family can get together and do fun stuff.” Pappas added, “They get along very, very well. They love each other.”

Andy Baldwin is said to be officiating at this. Seriously.

Heidi Montag was happy to hear former roommate Lauren Conrad say she misses her on an episode of hit reality TV series, The Hills.

"I was glad to hear it... I thought it was really sweet," Montag told Extra.

"That really brought a big smile to my face."

"Obviously I miss her a lot. She was my best friend for a really long time. One day hopefully we will be able to work through this."

Heidi and Lauren haven't been on good terms since she moved in with Spencer (on the season finale of The Hills' Season Two).

The feud escalated after Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were accused of spreading rumors of a Lauren Conrad sex tape.

Jeff Probst - sorry, Emmy Winner Jeff Probst - says that Gabon was an African country far from ready for a reality show.

"It was clear to us, from the moment we set foot there, that this was an untapped, undiscovered part of the world,'' he said in a recent interview. "They've had virtually no tourism, and so nobody's been there."

Moreover, midway through filming, Probst thought he had wandered into a scene from Jurassic Park.

"There's a moment where they encounter an elephant in the camp, and they're all trying to deal with it. And I thought, 'This looks like a Spielberg movie.' And then I realized: 'This is not a zoo; you're in their back yard. You've set up shop to do this dumb game. What are you doing?!'''

Former Flavor of Love contestant Saaphyri attended the Fox Reality Channel “Really Awards” last night in Hollywood.

And her necklace made no secret of her presidential preferance: Barack Obama can count on at least one vote from Saaphyri. And maybe three if each breast is large enough to garner a voice in the election.

Ted McGinley's run on Dancing with the Stars was far shorter than his time on Married... with Children. About eight years shorter.

The actor and partner Inna Brayer were voted out last night.

"It's been a lot of fun," McGinley said after his elimination. "You know, I know there's a lot of guys sitting at home with a beer in their hand having a little chuckle at me. You know what? Thank you for that. I appreciate it. I'm one of the guys. I guess I'll always be one of the guys. Some of us aren't meant to dance, I guess."

It was a short stay on Dancing with the Stars for Ted McGinley and Inna Brayer.

So what drove Audrina Patridge to move out of the house she shared with Lauren Conrad and Lauren Bosworth (Lo)?

“I just wanted my own place,” Patridge told Maxim magazine. “If anything, I feel like it will help out all our friendships.”

It’s no secret that Audrina and Lo don’t exactly get along.

“The only reason Lo and I are friends is because of Lauren,” she said. “They grew up together and hang out all the time.”

As for LC and her other former roommate, Heidi Montag, Patridge says the hatred between The Hills stars is the real deal.

“They really don’t like each other, but I’m friends with both of them,” she said. “When we hang out, I don’t talk about the other. I’m like Switzerland.”

The duck-lipped one has been in Patridge’s shoes and supports the move.

“It’s time in Audrina’s life to move out,” Heidi Montag said. “I’m very excited for her and I think she’ll do great. I love Audrina. We were friends before her and Lauren were friends. And we still talk.”

It's only appropriate, what with Andrew Firestone announcing earlier this week that he and Ivana Bozilovic are expecting their first child, that his one-time would-be bride from The Bachelor, Jen Schefft, got engaged this week!

The lucky guy is stock trader Joe Waterman!

"I'm so excited and so happy," says Jen Schefft. "We really get each other. I guess it's true things move fast when you meet the right person."

Schefft, who starred both The Bachelor in 2003 and The Bachelorette in 2005, finding love on neither, authored the book Better Single Than Sorry.

Joe Waterman didn't know much about Schefft from TV – but he shies away from certain reminders. "He gives me flowers but never roses," she says.

From Cha Chas to Mambos, the first two performances are now under the belts (and sequins) of the contestants on season seven of Dancing With the Stars.

Some (Brooke Burke) stood out more than others (Cloris Leachman). But here's a look back at the last two nights.

Pumkin may no longer be a contestant on I Love Money, but we hope she finds comfort in this:

We'll always love her. (Despite the constant need to go back and delete the extra "p" always typed into her name every time we mention the former Flavor of Love star.)

Here are excerpts from an interview Pumkin recently gave VH1:

When Hoopz did let you go, did you feel betrayed?
To a certain extent. Her whole, “This is for Chance” was such bulls***. Chance was in the house for, like, five days. You don’t f***ing know Chance. Hoopz and I go back to Flavor of Love. We were best friends on that show. I didn’t betray her. I sent home Chance, who didn’t even have my back.

You clashed with Megan from the start. What is it about her that you don’t get along with?
I don’t mind people who talk s***, that’s cool, but say it to my face. Don’t whisper. Don’t try to be a conniving little backstabbing bitch. Just tell me. I think that’s the hardest part. On Flavor of Love, the girls were really cutthroat, just, “You’re a f***ing bitch,” straight to your face, not whispering, “Oh. Saggy boobs.” I just don’t like people like that.

Toastee was really offended about Megan and Brandi’s insults about your weight and eating. Did they affect you similarly?
It’s just funny to me because Brandi showed up with bruises where her love-handles would be and thighs are. It’s very clear that she just got liposuction before she came on the show. She said she ran into furniture. Megan? Yeah, she’s skinny. So what? She has to be skinny because her face is so ugly. She has to make up for that. I just didn’t get where Brandi was coming from, because I don’t think she’s much skinnier. And Toasteee is really skinny. I don’t get it.

Evidently, Hole in the Wall is a new reality show on Fox. This is news to us.

More importantly, though the series is set to film its first celebrity-themed episode. If you can call former cast members of Flavor of Love and Rock of Love "celebrities."

The network said Tuesday that it will air a special edition of the Hole in the Wall, featuring the following teams against one another:

• Pumkin, Buckwild and Saapphyri vs. Ambre (pictured), Destiney and Jessica.

Look for this edition to air next Thursday, October 2. It will serve as a lead-in to Fox's coverage of the vice-presidential debate between Joe Biden and Sarah Palin. Which makes it even funnier.

Ambre Lake won over Bret Michaels. Now, can she help her team win by being a Hole in the Wall?
