The new season of The Bachelor is coming up, and ABC wants to make sure you’re good and ready to drool by the time the season premiere airs in January. They’ve released the first promo photo of their new piece of meat, Benjamin Flajnik.

Ben is not so new to many viewers, actually. He proposed to, and was rejected by, Ashley Hebert, on the last season of The Bachelorette.  The network says that he’s put all that heartbreak behind him and is ready to “move on with his life, his phenomenal success as a businessman and his search for the right woman to be his wife and to start a family with.”

Ms. Right will be a lucky girl indeed:  Ben is a winemaker in beautiful Sonoma County, California.  His winery, Evolve Winery, produces a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Sauvignon Blanc from organic, sustainably grown grapes.  He’s not a bad looking guy, either.  There are definitely worse gigs out there.  Definitely.

What do you think about Ben’s chances this time?  Will he find love?  Would you accept his rose and proposal?  Drop a comment and tell us!

Jake Pavelka is back in his cock pit and his ex, Vienna Girardi is all over the place, enjoying the benefits The Bachelor has given her.  She was at CHLA’S 1st Annual Grayson’s Gift Foundation held at Casa Del Mar in sunny Santa Monica, California.

She is looking very content with life and living it up to the fullest….maybe it’s the five beverages in front of her that make life so dang good…

Jake Pavelka didn’t find the love of his life or a new career in Hollywood during or after his stint on The Bachelor.  So his best bet was to not quit his day job.

Jake Pavelka is back, flying the friendly skies and could be piloting your next trip, if you fly with Delta.  He’s already back on the job, trying to keep busy with work.

Meanwhile, his ex-finacee, Vienna Girardi is having the time of her life, soaking up the fame and fortune that The Bachelor brought her.

Who needs Jake Pavelka or any Bachelor for that matter?!  Vienna Girardi got a night with The Chippendales when she hosted ’The Ultimate Girls Night Out‘ at The Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino down in Las Vegas.

I’d say that Vienna is doing more than alright.  Her life couldn’t be better.  She’s probably thanking the Dear Lord for not letting things work out for her and Jake.  I know I would be.

Now how about you just go and enjoy all of the fabulous eye candy below, it’s just sooo good.

The one and only, creepy Jake Pavelka has his new victim girlfriend, Meghan Jones on his arm for the Dancing With The Stars 200th episode party over at Boulevard 3 in Hollywood.

Meghan is from Jake’s home state of Texas where she works as a wedding planner. So, I guess when he pops the question, they’ll have lots of connections for the nuptials.

The Next Bachelor Is Brad Womack – Yes! Again!

I guess I haven’t gotten over just how horrible Jake was during that last interview with Vienna Girardi.  Was she perfect?  No!  But her was a bad dream!

Watch out Meghan!  This one’s crazy!

Newlyweds and soon to be new parents, Jesse Csincsak and his wife, Ann Leuders are getting really excited for the upcoming arrival of their first baby.

Bachelor – Jesse Csincsak and Ann Lueders Get Married In Vegas

They have already named their son, Noah and have about 3 months to go.  So they are filling their time with long walks with the dogs,

“Ann’s an avid jogger, and since she can’t jog we’ll grab a cup of coffee and take the dogs walking.  There’s a little area in Breckinridge, Colo., called the river walk, so we walk along that.  We just kind of enjoy and talk about things.”

Ann looks great.  She is definitely staying in shape.  They are going to be great parents.  And by the way, those puppies are adorable!

Chris Lambton had his heart broken by Ali Fedotowsky on The Bachelorette.   And from the looks of things, he still hasn’t recovered.  The show naturally wanted Chris to be the next Bachelor.  They went above and beyond to try and get him to take the gig.  They offered him six figures as well as a choice of anywhere in the world to film the show.  He still said no.  This is why they went back to Brad Womack who is the Bachelor for the second time.

Chris talked to Star about the whole thing,

“They really wanted me, so they were open to my input and my ideas.  I just knew it didn’t feel right.”

The Bachelorette – Ali Fedotowsky Wedding Plans Have Begun!

Furthering his conviction that he doesn’t really believe in the show’s process, for himself anyhow, Chris said,

“When my kids are 20 years old and looking for love, I want to say, ‘This is the amazing story of how I met your mom,’ not, ‘Oh, yeah, she was the best of 25.’”

Now that I think about it.  He’s got a good point.  Chris is such an amazing man.  He deserves the best and should be allowed to find “her” on his own.  Good thinkin’ Chris.  Best of luck to you!

The Bachelor’s winner from Charlie O’Connell’s season (7), Sarah Brice is dumping her engagement ring.  The show let her keep the ring since they stayed together for over the two year minimum.

But Sarah is ready to get rid of the $20,000 stunning, Tacori ring and move on with her life.

“I need to move on, and looking at that ring wasn’t helping matters.  It seemed like a bad omen to keep it. It’s a gorgeous ring, though, and someone will be very lucky to get it.”

Charlie O’Connell’s Drinking Problem Reason for Split from Sarah Brice

Sarah has opted to auction off her ring on eBay with a starting price of only $5,000.  You can place your bit here.  It really is an amazing ring.

The listing reads,

I was given this ring by Bachelor Charlie O’Connell on the final episode of The Bachelor season 7. We have since broken up, so now is your chance to own a piece of television history! Its an amazing ring and the ultimate trophy for any Bachelor fan. If the winning bidder is in the Los Angeles area I am glad to deliver the ring to you in person. Good Luck!   Sarah Brice

The new Bachelor for the upcoming January 5 premiere is Brad Womack.  Deja Vue?  Kinda.  Brad was Bachelor in 2007 and  ”He was a commitment-phobe,” according to Chris Harrison.  So why bring him back?  For some reason Chris and the Bachelor folks think he’s a great guy. This is all in spite of the fact that Brad broke both Deanna Pappas and Jenni Croft’s hearts at the end of his season.

Brad went to a lot of therapy and is ready for this commitment driven show.

“I’m a different guy, I want to come back and prove I believe in this process. I want to prove to everyone I’m a different man. I can and want to do this.”

I’m not sure if I am sold on this idea or not.  But I guess it doesn’t really matter.  Brad Womack is the next Bachelor and all the girls willing to put their hearts out there are doing it with fair warning.

What do you think?  Is Brad a changed man?  Is he ready to settle down for real this time around?
