The Bachelor

Former star of The Bachelor Andrew Firestone has revealed that he'll be marrying fiancee Ivana Bozilovic next month in Santa Ynez, Calif.

"Sometimes you get hurt before you actually make it right," the heir to the Firestone tire fortune told Us Weekly.

"She makes me a better person," he says of his 30-year-old model/actress wife-to-be. "Never before have I been so gushy."

Ivana Bozilovic and Andrew Firestone are engaged!

Andrew Firestone, 32, says he was "crushed" when his 2003 engagement to Bachelor finalist Jen Schefft unraveled.

"I was going above and beyond to make it work," he said. "Everybody assumed it was my fault â€" that wasn't the case at all."

Congrats to Ivana Bozilovic on landing such a stud.

Seriously, where are Shayne Lamas and Tessa Horst?

Well, Andy Baldwin and Tessa haven't been together in some time. He even dated Marla Maples for a time. But it's funny to see two alumni of The Bachelor together at the same pub in Los Angeles without the ladies on Saturday.

Andy Baldwin and Matt Grant: Major hunk bonding.

Matt Grant and his final rose recipient, Shayne Lamas, are reportedly still together, however, and have intentions on tying the knot.

He recently told celebrity news media that he's marrying Shayne next week in Las Vegas, but he was probably just kidding!

When asked when he's getting married, Matt Grant said, "Next week. Las Vegas. Where Elvis got married."

Added the handsome Brit, "I love the States, but just for the record, I did not do this for a green card."

The recent star of The Bachelor, Matt Grant, steps out with his fiancee, Shayne Lamas, at Bar 1200 in Hollywood on Friday.

This past Monday's season finale of The Bachelor: London Calling had Matt Grant, 27, choose Shayne Lamas over Chelsea Wanstrath.

Good choice? You tell us. Here's Matt and Shayne ...

Matt Grant and Shayne Lamas: We give it eight months.

No, VH1 has not bought any part of Matt Grant.

But the music channel - which has tried to emulate The Bachelor with shows such as Flavor of Love and Rock of Love - now the rights to every season of the original ABC series.

This includes all 12 seasons of the regular show and four The Bachelorettes, plus "all cycles through at least 2008," according to VH1. So expect to see DeAnna Pappas and this summer's edition on cable in the near future, as well.

Soon, you'll be able to see more of Matt Grant on VH1.

Amazingly, the network's press release refers to the Chris Harrison-hosted ABC series as "America's Most Romantic Reality Show." We thought it was "America's Most Universally Mocked Show." Guess we were wrong.

In his press release quote, VH1 producer Ben Zurier actually says:

"‘The Bachelor' is the granddaddy of the dating reality format. It's been a water cooler staple from the moment it premiered in 2002, and it's still on top of its game.

As we've seen with our own record-breaking ‘Rock of Love with Bret Michaels' and ‘Flavor of Love' series, dating reality has become the drama for the current generation of young adults, with an engaging mix of intrigue, romance, and surprises. ‘The Bachelor' and VH1 certainly feels like a good match."

What a funny guy!

You all know what happened, but that doesn't mean you can't relive it a second time. Below is a video of Matt Grant and Shayne Dahl Lamas getting engaged on The Bachelor. You may cry, cheer, or vomit at will.

Chelsea had a good run, but after 10 weeks, Matt Grant had one choice and one choice alone - Shayne Lamas. So warm, so fun. So in love with fame.

Here are photos of the most magic and tragic moments last night, after Matt Grant dumped Chelsea and popped the question to Shayne Lamas ...

How did he arrive at his decision? How did Chelsea handle the rejection? Get the full rundown in our episode guide to The Bachelor ...

The Bachelorette premieres in less than two weeks.

The counterpart to Matt Grant, DeAnna Pappas will star the lucky woman who will be courted by 25 men.

Pappas was one of the last women standing on The Bachelor season starring Brad Womack. After he dumped Jenni Croft at the final rose ceremony, that jackass opted to dump DeAnna too. Stunning and bizarre.

Despite the heartache of losing the man she loved, DeAnna Pappas has bounced back and is ready to give love another shot... on reality TV!

This week, ABC released the identities of the 25 men who will be competing for DeAnna's love and affection on The Bachelorette...

Former star of The Bachelor Andy Baldwin and his girlfriend Marla Maples have called it quits, he has confirmed to Us Weekly.

Baldwin's recent move to Washington, D.C. to take a job as an advocate for Navy Medicine put a strain on their relationship.

"The big move coupled with the long distance relationship wasn't working for us so I decided we were better off as friends," Baldwin says.

He first broke the news to the Washington Post.

"We were friends, it got romantic for a little while, but we're just friends," he told the nation's capital's newspaper.

Andy Baldwin and Marla Maples met last year and spent New Year's together. They recently celebrated Easter in Hawaii.

"He's just a good soul," Maples said in April. "He's a complete gentleman."

Andy Baldwin was briefly engaged to Tessa Horst, who won the final rose on The Bachelor. That didn't last long.

Ah, yes, the traditional "Women Tell All" bit. Always one of the biggest wastes of time in television history episodes of the season The Bachelor.

It's a bummer when you watch The Bachelor and Shayne Lamas doesn't even appear, but she'll be back in full force for next week's finale, don't worry.

This week did feature the return of Stacey Elza (a.k.a. Panty-Gate) and other fun rejects from Season 12, however, so it wasn't entirely a lost cause.

Women, that is!

He may not know anything about American football, but Matt Grant scored a two-point conversion last Monday, offering up roses to Chelsea and Shayne and securing for them spots in the season finale of The Bachelor.

Okay, so this is totally how it works every season, and isn't particularly noteworthy. But here's a picture of the magical moments for each lady ...

"Will you accept this chance to be quasi-famous rose?"

Who do you like to win The Bachelor when Matt Grant makes his choice? Will he go with Chelsea, who's far less entertaining and interesting? Will it be Shayne Lamas, who wants to be famous so bad it's painful to watch?

We can only wait and see.
