I thought I'd start a folder for latest updates. Yesterday, John Walsh had an update show. Here's the gossip:

CUPID - Lisa & Hank are still dating. Interesting note that I didn't know. Lisa and her friends actually saw Hank in the gym the day before and convinced him to audition. They also spotted Joe in a bar and did the same. Funny, how they kept that quiet. So, these guys already had the edge up.

MR. PERSONALITY - Hayley and Will are still dating.

FOR LOVE OR MONEY2 - Erin and Chad are still dating.

WHO WANTS TO MARRY MY DAD? - Don and Christena BROKE UP! They said that the distance (and perhaps, her kids) were the factors)

Thanks Rslover! I was hoping someone would start an update thread:) I'm very surprised that Lisa and Hank are still together...as well as Will and Hayley. I hope they don't do a repeat of these shows...they were both horrible! But of course....sadly...I still tuned in to find out the ending.

James and Wes: So Yesterday

Last week, Gay Hollywood hit the Sunset Strip for some fey fun: Out magazine's party at Falcon for its annual "Out 100" issue. The eclectic guest list included many of 2003's most intriguing gay (and gay-friendly) personalities. Natch, these included Party Boy, who showed up in search of his personal Holy Trinity: gossip, drama and free beauty products!

So who was there? Boy Meets Boy's James Getzlaff and Wes Culwell were present Ñ along with their dates. Yes, as I told you long ago, Bravo's famous dating show duo isn't a couple. They never were. But what about press reports that Getzlaff is seeing Jai Rodriguez, the "culture vulture" from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy? "It's so not true," a source told Party Boy. "Jai has a huge crush on James, but they're just friends. Besides, James has a boyfriend."

Indeed, James's escort for the evening was his beau, Universal Pictures publicist Mark Markline. As for Wes, he seemed very in love with himself, posing coquettishly for party photographers every chance he got. (You milkthat 15 minutes, baby!) I didn't catch the name of Wes's date Ñ a tall, handsome guy with a faux mohawk haircut Ñ but Party Boy did spy the twosome leaving the party holding hands. As he stood on the corner of Sunset and Poinsettia, gazing up at Mr. Right Now, Wes appeared very smitten and goo-goo eyed. Now that's the kind of reality you didn't see onBoy Meets Boy, kids.

But let's enjoy the rest of the party, shall we? James (who's Out's December cover boy) said he has finally quit his human resources job at that L.A. law firm to focus on showbiz. By the way, he's really good friends with another chiseled reality hunk, 29-year-old Amazing Race winnerReichen Lehmkuhl. "It's funny," Reichen said. "James and I have played on the same beach volleyball team since before any of this TV stuff happened." Later, the single Reichen Ñ who's officially split from Chip Arndt Ñ was heard complaining to pals that he can't get a date. This had partygoers scratchin' their heads, as this soiree had no lack of single men. Hey, Reichen! Party Boy's single, available Ñ and accessible via the link at the bottom of this column. Not to be overly forward, but I'm just sayin'...

Out on the patio, Flashdance star Jennifer Beals looked stunning in black, chatting the night away with her co-stars from The L Word. (That's Showtime's new lesbian drama, debuting in January.) Lenny Clarke hung out with his castmates from ABC's It's All Relative. The sitcom's exec producers, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, were there, too Ñ but they kept mum about the recent controversy surrounding their TV miniseries, The Reagans. Zadan's glad Showtime will air it Nov. 30 Ñ they're striking while public interest is hot Ñ but refused to comment on CBS's decision to dropThe Reagans. "If we told the truth," he winked, "it would be... unpleasant. So we're not saying anything for now."

As the bustling party wound down, Out staffers ran short on gift bags for guests. Horrors! Celebs were lovin' the gratis goodies, like Tea Tree hair goop and Kenneth Cole's new Black cologne for men. "Now how am I gonna smell like Kyan from Queer Eye?" I wondered aloud. Happily, my pal Bill Brochtrup Ñ who plays John, the gay secretary on NYPD Blue Ñ generously offered me his own bag. What a nice guy! Bless his heart, I couldn't take it... Well, okay, I did. Cheers, Bill!

'Bachelorette' Ties the Knot
Dec 8, 8:10 AM EST

Associated Press

"The Bachelorette" lovebirds Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter have tied the knot, but the event might not seem real until it airs on television.

They were married Saturday at the Lodge in Rancho Mirage, a resort near Palm Springs, according to the hotel's public relations firm, Solters & Digney. The hotel reopened Sunday after being closed to the public for four days to accommodate the large-scale production.

The wedding is scheduled to air Wednesday night on ABC.

"The Bachelorette" was a spin-off of ABC's popular reality TV show "The Bachelor," in which Rehn was the runner-up a year ago.

Sutter, a firefighter from Vail, Colo., won the heart of Rehn, a physical therapist and former Miami Heat cheerleader, on the February finale.

ABC picked up the $1 million tab for the wedding. The couple also were paid a fee, said to be another $1 million.

The bride's gown was designed by Badgley Mischka, and Kenneth Cole made the men's tuxedos. Some 30,000 roses were brought from Ecuador.

It's been all over the news today. You can read more at entertainment.msn.com.

Personally, I'm not surprised. I always thought they looked awkward together. And she always had a deer in the headlights look about her.

What seems kinda funny to me, I thought that they had just set a date a month or two ago -- to be married in the spring.

'Bachelor' Firestone, Schefft break up
NEW YORK (AP) -- Reality has set in for yet another reality TV couple, as Andrew Firestone and Jen Schefft from The Bachelor have broken up.

The heir to the Firestone tire and wine fortune proposed to Schefft, a petite Marcia Brady look-alike, in May on the ABC dating show.

But the couple released a statement to the syndicated entertainment series Extra on Monday, saying they were no longer together.

"This is a decision we made together through long and thoughtful discussion," Firestone said. "It is totally amicable and, though we care for each other deeply, we have come to realize that our future goals are different."

Schefft added: "Our love for each other was genuine but we confronted the same challenges as any other couple trying to make a relationship work day-to-day."

Both Bachelor bachelors before Firestone, Alex Michel and Aaron Buerge, have broken up with the women they chose. On the most recent season, Bob Guiney gave a ring to Estella Gardinier, then asked her to wear it on her right hand.

But Trista Rehn of The Bachelorette has made her made-for-TV romance last; she married firefighter Ryan Sutter on Saturday. The wedding is scheduled to air at 9 p.m. EST Wednesday on ABC.

I don't think these shows are all the conducive to a long term relationship. Right at the moment when you need to spend some time together to get to know each other away from the cameras and the show structure, you're banned from seeing each other as to not spoil the show.

Has anybody noticed that all the shows where the women do the picking - the couples are still together.
Trista & Ryan
Erin & Chad
Hayley & Will
even the one where her friends picked him I forget her name
It is only the shows where the men picked the women, that they break up. Sort of tells you something huh?

Hey, I'm all for advocating women are more evolved than men, but I don't get it. What does it say when a woman on a reality show has more success at picking a mate?

Can you guys be more specific?

I don't think it has anything to do with the fact that women are more evolved than men or anything like that. What I think that it says is that men are more likely to stay in a relationship when they are the pursuer rather than the pursuee. (Not that I know that to be true in all cases, or with any real documentation)

i think the men get used to and kinda like having all the women at their disposal....whittling it down to one becomes anti-climatic.

I think it shows that the women coming on these shows are more serious about finding someone whereas the men are more interested in either their 15 minutes of fame or were really not ready for a commitment to begin with. Heck, maybe it says that the women applying that the men have to choose from are less quality/whatever than the men applying for the show that the women have to choose from.

I am not making any generalities about men versus women, I'm speaking to the fact that there is a relatively clear pattern that when women are picking on these shows, they are either picking better than the men or else they are more serious about it. Something is amiss - or there is a big coincidence.

I find it interesting for sure.

Well, maybe women are just inherently smarter about picking someone who would be good for a long-term relationship. Men may be more swayed by good looks and flirting skills.

Diclaimer: My above statement is a comment on what men and women are better or worse at in relationships. I meant my statement to only reflect the women and men on these shows.
