Gwen Gossip
Grooch | Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 06:53 am     I was listening to the Howard Stern show this morning, and Gwen's exhusband called in. Yes, she was married before, and he believes that Aaron has no idea about this. He still likes her, but he wanted to set the record straight that the reason they got divorced is because she cheated on him (with some college boys) and not the other way around like she tells everyone. His sister (or sister in law) had overheard some college guys talking about Gwen and her fooling around with some guy and how her husband had no clue she was doing all this stuff. He still likes her and thinks she is nice. She has also been on some other reality tv dating shows. That's all I can remember and I hope I got it right. |
Denecee | Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 08:16 am     Her ex could have been lying or there could be more to the story than he admits and I know there is another side to the story. Who knows? I don't think Aaron was "feeling it" for her anyway. |
Hermione69 | Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 08:18 am     Thanks for passing on the info, but I, too, would take anything an ex-husband said with a grain of salt. I can only imagine what my ex says about me! |
Egbok | Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 10:36 am     Thanks for the scoop Groochie! |
Fruitbat | Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 10:38 am     Nice tid bit, Grooch......and she doesnt even watch the show! What a trooper. |
Max | Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 01:49 pm     How does anyone KNOW this is her ex-husband? Just 'cause he said so? Sounds like a Stern stunt to me. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 01:55 pm     Details, details........dish. |
Grooch | Thursday, October 31, 2002 - 08:52 pm     Honestly, with Stern, I do believe he tries to confirm who people are before he puts them on the air (if they are somebody.) A lot of gossip rags get their celeberty info from his show, but never give him credit for it. So I bet there are some now, looking into it, to see if she was really married. If it is true, we will probably read about it somewhere very soon. I don't like everything Stern does, but I do enjoy his interviews with people. He usually gets some new info out of them and asks them things that the big name interviewers would never ask. (I am not talking about the sex talk.) If he gets off on a tangent, I turn the station. But one thing I do believe about him, is that as crude and as crass as he is, I think he is for the most part honest. And the guy on the phone was very calm and matter of fact about the whole topic. He didn't sound like he had an agenda or anything. I have no idea if he was telling the truth or not, but if it was obvious to me that he was lying, I never would have posted anything about it. So we need to check the smoking gun tomorrow. |
Grooch | Friday, November 01, 2002 - 12:28 pm     From the NY Post: November 1, 2002 -- "BACHELOR 2" contestant Gwen, the odds-on favorite to win the show, is a divorcee, it was revealed yesterday on the Howard Stern Show when her ex-husband called in. With odds of 1-2, the 31-year old pharmaceutical consultant from Philadelphia is tops to win the heart of bachelor Aaron Buerge, according to the online gaming company, BetWWTS.com. Of the other two remaining contestants, Brooke, 22, a student at the University of Alabama, is still strong with 2-1 odds. Helene, a 27-year old elementary school psychologist, is the long-shot at 6-1. Gwen's past came back to haunt her yesterday when her ex called up Howard Stern to reveal her secret. Gwen called in to the show later to say that "Bachelor" producers already knew about her divorce and that it will probably be covered on a future episode of the reality show. "It's OK if contestants were previously married," an ABC spokeswoman said yesterday. In fact, the winner last season, Amanda Marsh, was divorced. "Having an ex is not a problem, but having kids would be in violation of the show's rules," the spokeswoman said. "All of the women go through thorough background checks." On Wednesday night's edition of "The Bachelor 2," Buerge ditched Angela, 27, a registered nurse from Kansas City, Mo. Angela's dismissal was welcomed by fans on Internet message boards yesterday. At least one said "good riddance" and branded her "a hotbed of negativity." |
Max | Friday, November 01, 2002 - 01:02 pm     Well, then. Wonder what Aaron's reaction is gonna be? She's GOT to tell him soon if she has any integrity at all. Of course, if he hasn't bothered asking about her past at all, then all bets are off!  |
Grooch | Friday, November 01, 2002 - 01:20 pm     Good point, Max! |
Fruitbat | Friday, November 01, 2002 - 01:36 pm     I doubt he will care and it sounds like she told him. Didn't he say he was married before or was it engaged? |
Max | Friday, November 01, 2002 - 04:21 pm     Aaron was engaged. I don't remember which family asked him about that, though. Was it Brooke's? |
Fabnsab | Saturday, November 02, 2002 - 01:07 pm     Let's keep in mind that as far as we are concerned, she may have already told him on the show and they chose to edit it out. As we watch, he might have this info already. I can see it coming out when they went to her hometown. I don't think he will care. That sounds a little better than having a dad who is in jail for alleged rape and kiddie porn. |
Cricket | Wednesday, November 06, 2002 - 05:19 pm     Umm, what's the difference between 1-2 and 2-1 odds? Sorry if that sounds like a stupid question. Interesting that they have Helene at 6-1 odds. I keep thinking Aaron likes her best, but I don't want her to win. So far, though, she hasn't had any secrets about her leaked. |
Hermione69 | Wednesday, November 06, 2002 - 05:56 pm     Cricket, I *think* with 2-1 odds, if you bet ten, you would win twenty, whereas with 1-2 odds, they wouldn't pay out anything. If you were silly enough to take that 1-2 bet, then if you bet ten, you would win five, so basically you would have lost five dollars! In other words, they are pretty certain of the 1-2 girl winning. |
