'The Bachelor' Recap: Should Ben Have Given Shawntel A Chance?

Who is Shawntel? It's a good question, and one we can all be sure Ben's women were asking themselves

Seriously, ABC, this season's girls of The Bachelor are by far the worst crop ever in the history of the show. That said, these girls bring good ratings because they are completely mad and make great television. All that said, last night's drama all revolved around one woman in particular. It was all about Shawntel.

'Pan Am' Recap: Passion, Jealousy & A Smidge Of Sexism

Did you watch the premiere of "Pan Am" last night? Could you keep track of all the plot lines?

Last night's premiere of Pan Am confirmed at least one thing: The newest drama to idealize the early 1960s isn't sharp enough to be Mad Men, but it's certainly not vapid enough to be The Playboy Club. And thank goodness for the latter, because I know I'm not alone in looking forward to another time machine-style escape back into the era of pastel pillbox hats and glossy LIFE magazines.

Rihanna And Chris Brown To Reunite For An ABC Interview?

After Chris' epic 'Good Morning America' meltdown, the network wants him to sit down with RiRi.

ABC will not be suing Chris Brown for busting up the Good Morning America studios. In case you missed it, Brown destroyed a good portion of his dressing room after an interview on GMA last week, during which he was asked about his legal woes following the Rihanna assault in 2009. The network is letting him off the hook for the damage, and also allowing him to continue with his Dancing with the Stars performance next week. At first we thought, Wow, ABC is so forgiving! But as it turns out, there may be strings attached to all this said forgiveness. The network would like a little somethin' in return.

‘The Bachelor’ Episode 4 Recap: Fears, Cries and a Black Eye

‘The Bachelor’ Episode 4 Recap: Fears, Cries and a Black Eye

Michelle gets a black eye, Ashley H. got nuts and all Brad can think about is Emily.

By Krissy Dolor for Cupid's Pulse This week's episode of ABC's The Bachelor began with Michelle and her mysterious black eye. "Who wakes up with a black eye?" she asked. An attention-hoarder, that's who. And because of this, Michelle's automatically entitled to a one-on-one date with Brad Womack, right? Yes, apparently. But we'll get to her later.

‘The Bachelor’ Episode 3 Recap: Girls Walk, Talk and Whine

Madison leaves, Emily finally tells Brad her story, and Michelle continues to psycho it up.

By Krissy Dolor for Cupid's Pulse Looks like I spoke too soon in judging Madison, The Bachelor’s resident fang girl. It turns out that yes, one of Brad Womack’s 17 remaining bachelorettes left the mansion for good, and I must admit that after last night’s episode, I wish that Madison had given herself a chance and stayed. But more on that later.

Harvard Graduate and Miss Massachusetts Loren Galler-Rabinowitz is Much More than just a pretty face

The women of ABC’s The Bachelor may be competing for a man’s heart, but the only thing Loren Galler-Rabinowitz wants to win is this year’s Miss America crown! But don’t think that the Miss Massachusetts contestant is just another pretty face. The 2010 graduate from Harvard University has a degree in English and just finished a 10-year figure skating career as a U.S. Champion ice dancer. In addition to her dreams of becoming a published poet, the Brookline, Mass.

‘The Bachelor’ Episode 2 Recap: The Claws Are Out!

Raichel and Melissa duke it out, Michelle whines about her birthday, and Brad lets 3 women go.

By Krissy Dolor We knew the niceties would only last so long. Last night’s second episode of ABC’s The Bachelor brought all the makings of good reality TV: drama, tears and of course, a few make-out sessions. But what really stole the show was the on-going fight between Melissa and Raichel. But let’s get to that later.
