Unlike season two's Frenchie Davis or season six's Antonella Barba, no one seems to be complaining about current contestant Tim Urban's recently revealed topless shots. In fact, I think everyone is saying, "Thank you, Internet!" The singer (and I use that term veeeeeery loosely) miraculously skated through to the Top 20 last week based solely on his good looks -- something these pictures (via ONTD) prove he's got in spades. But the big question is, how long will Tim's all-American good looks keep him in the competition? Well, if he keeps wearing heavy jackets like he did last week, the kid won't be sticking around very long. But, if Tim takes a tip from Kris Allen and opts for short sleeves, low v-necks and tight fitted tee's, he just might become this season's Sanjaya. You know, but one you want to sleep with.

Sad News For The Osmonds.

Marie Osmond's 18-year-old adopted son Michael Blosil killed himself Friday by jumping from his apartment in L-A. Marie released a statement, saying, "My family and I are devastated and in deep shock by the tragic loss of our dear Michael and ask that everyone respect our privacy during this difficult time." A few minutes before leaping to his death, Michael had sent a text message to a female friend alerting her to a suicide note he had left in his apartment. In the note, Michael had reportedly written about being extremely unhappy and called the woman "his only good friend in L-A" In 2007, Michael entered a rehab facility. The reason for the visit was never disclosed. The L-A Fire Department spokesman, Shawn Lenske, says "I have no information on whether drugs or alcohol were involved ... The investigation is ongoing by the coroner's and L-A-P-D."

American Idol: The 1st 4 Are Sent Packing!

"Idol" contestants Janell Wheeler, Ashley Rodriguez, Joe Munoz and Tyler Grady were revealed Thursday to be the two female and male semifinalists with the fewest viewer votes, leaving 20 singers to compete in the popular Fox singing competition's ninth season. Grady, the 20-year-old throwback singer from Nazareth, Pa., didn't go without a fight. "I really like all the judges," said Grady, who was jeered after his performance of The Guess Who's "American Woman" on Wednesday's performance episode. "I've really had a great time with them, but I feel like I didn't really get much constructive criticism during 'Hollywood Week,' and I feel like what they told me was a little bit too late." Wheeler, a 24-year-old wine sales representative from Tampa, Fla., and Rodriguez, a 22-year-old college student from Chelsea, Mass., were the first semifinalists dismissed. Viewers must have agreed with judge Simon Cowell that Wheeler did not give it "100 percent" on Heart's "What About Love" and that Rodriguez's rendition of Leona Lewis' "Happy" was "clumsy." "I am going to sing a song!" Rodriguez declared to host Ryan Seacrest after her ouster. The eliminations of male semifinalists Grady and Munoz, the 20-year-old crooner of Huntington Park, Calif., who sang Jason Mraz's "You and I Both" to mixed reviews from the panel, shocked the fellow singers standing by their sides. The eyes of Tim Urban, a 20-year-old college student from Duncanville, Texas, widened when he heard it was Munoz instead of him. Alex Lambert, a 19-year-old high school student from North Richland Hills, Texas, who had what Cowell deemed "the most uncomfortable performance of the night," was censored for whatever he said after Grady was eliminated. Fox spokeswoman Jill Hudson said the audio was dropped because the language did not meet broadcast standards. Before the final elimination, eighth season winner Kris Allen returned to "Idol" to talk about his recent trip to earthquake-ravaged Haiti and perform The Beatles' "Let It Be." Viewers were asked to make donations online or by text-messaging, with the money going to the Idol Gives Back Foundation to support the United Nations Foundation's work in Haiti.

CNN falls for 140-year-old hot dog hoax

CNN falls for 140-year-old hot dog hoax. Thursday morning, CNN reported a story from a New York news station affiliate about a 140-year-old hot dog that was found yesterday on Coney Island under Feltman’s restaurant which is in the process of being torn down. The hot dog was encased in ice and had been found by an archaeologist. The video of the story from the local TV news station showed an original receipt from Feltman’s that was encased in the ice as well. The reporter went on to say that the hot dog was being put on exhibit and they were touting it as the first hot dog in existence. The exhibit was scheduled to open on Coney Island on Palm Sunday. The news story even went so far as to ask people if they would go out to Coney Island to see the hot dog exhibit and many people said they would. As it turns out the whole story was a publicity hoax to get people to go out to Coney Island. CNN has removed the story and video from their website without explanation. The most recent well known hoax played in Utah was when the owner of the Utah Flash hired a Michael Jordan look-a-like to appear at the opening game, and told the crowd it was Jordan. The hoax went terribly wrong when the crowd realized the man was a fake, got angry and about half of the people left the Utah arena. For more on that story, click here. Examiner

American Idol Top 12 Recap: Guys, Guys, Guys!

Season 9 of American Idol got started in earnest last night with the Top 12 Girls taking the stage, but instead of blowing us out of the water, I was left treading water -- and waiting for a wow performance. While the girls twinkled, they didn't blind me with their brilliance. Hopefully, that all changes tonight with a super (nova) performance from the Top 12 guys. Just like the girls, they'll be singing Hot Billboard singles and just like the ladies, we've warned them what they should and should not be singing. Hopefully the guys take direction better than Katie Stevens.

Despite all the pre-season hyping of the girls, we're counting on the guys to save week one and bring something unique to the table. And, we're hoping that Andrew Garcia isn't the only one who does so. Is that too much to ask? We'll find out live tonight as the guys take the stage. Follow along with me here for my live thoughts and chat along with me in the comments. After the night is over, don't forget to make your American Idol Fantasy TV picks for who'll be the first guys and gals eliminated from season 9. This season, there are extra perks for playing: you'll be competing against genuine American Idol expert Anoop Desai and you'll be competing for some fabulous prizes. But enough about tomorrow's inevitable eliminations, tonight it's all about the guys and it's all about the songs. Who do you think will shine tonight? And who do you think will be given the all important pimp spot? Cheer-O-Meter:

So, who did the audience cheer for the loudest? Surprising no one, Andrew Garcia. Todrick Hall also got a big round of applause. Surprisingly quite cheers? Aaron Kelly. Also if that intro order is performance order as it was last night, pimp spot does go to Andrew Garcia. I thought that was way too obvious, but then again, so was Katie Stevens. Thing is, I almost understand the placement tonight, Andrew Garcia and what he'll do is what's going to keep people on the channel if the guys stink up the stage the same way some of the ladies did.

Todrick Hall

"Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson Oh no you diiin't Todrick. Todrick is attempting a spoken word, with hundreds of unecessary vocal run version of Kelly Clarkson's classic "Since U Been Gone," my favorite Idol song ever. Just the thought of messing with it verges on sacrilege. What Todrick does with it does more than verge. Let's just say, it's about as successful as Haeley's rewrite of the Beatles last night, in as much as it's totally unrecognizable. Todrick hits most of his notes when he's singing, but he's sing-talking most of it. All in all Todrick delivered it with confidence and made it all about him, and definitely performed. However, he should watch for torch carrying Kelly fans. Fans like me. Simons Says (Most Notable Judges Comment): "I thought it was a crazy arrangement of the song. What you did was completely murder the original song. You can boo all you want, but nobody would buy it. I think what you did was verging on stupid." Safe, Shaky, or Should Be Packing: Shaky (He'll be remembered, but for what reason?)

Aaron Kelly "Here Comes Goodbye" by Rascal Flats Will Aaron Kelly remember the words or not? That's the question on everyone's mind. He does, indeed! Also, I'd like to note I said the best possible choice for Aaron to sing tonight would be a Rascal Flats song. I'll talk that as a half point. Here was my logic: if Aaron's going to win Idol it'll be thanks to the 10-Gallon Hat, Country FM loving voters. That and the teen girl vote, because even I want to pinch this kids cheeks. Tonight, I think he pleases all his possible fans. He has a big voice, even if he doesn't hit all the notes, and he serves up the tune with just the right nasal twang that country thrives on and teen girls identify with. Simon Says: "You're a good singer. Very likable. Very cute, but you have to take control of the song. I think absolutely 100% you'll be here this week." Kara also said Aaaron is her favorite kind of contestant. Safe, Shaky, or Should Be Packing: Safe

Jermaine Sellers "Get Here" by Oleta Adams In his pre-roll, Jermaine apologizes for being a jackass to the band during Hollywood Week, which made me hate him. So tonight, in the hopes of experiencing him on a clean slate and with open ears, I will forgive him. Man, the open ears promise may have been a mistake. Jermaine is definitely a church singer, though in his lower notes there is some pleasing roughness. When he goes super high, which he seems addicted to doing, he's a sharp and off. I prefer he stay in mid-range and lower ranges where his voice is rich full and raspy. In those areas, the performance showed a lot of vocal promise, if he was could get over the bad vocal habits of being a church singer. (There's a reason Melisma Abuser Anonymous Meetings are held in churches.) Simon Says: "And then in the middle when you were trying to over sing it, it actually sounded like you were screaming. I think you totally blew your opportunity with that." The rest of the judges vehemently degree with Simon on the blowing the opportunity, but they agree on the over-singing. Safe, Shaky, or Should Be Packing: Shaky (and the half apology at the end about being a diva that then kind of turned into him being a diva, didn't do him any favors.)

Tim Urban "Apologize" by One Republic This is our first solid look at Tim Urban, so they give us a longer introduction about his Idol journey and his last minute acceptance to the show. Also Tim has the bangs of a superstar, seriously: Superstar bangs right? But the vocals of a superstar? Not so much. Tim is adorable, but it's bad opening band material at best. His high notes, of which he's added many extra, are affected and painfully helium. He struggles with his phrasing, even though it's basically a straight up cover. It was karaoke at best, embarrassingly so. Like I feel bad for him, because of the perfect bangs and dimples and nice guy vibe. Simon Says: "We absolutely made the right decision the first time around based on that performance. You may make it through because people feel sorry for you and you're good looking." The rest of the judges are almost equally cruel and I am amazed that Tim doesn't burst into tears on stage. Safe, Shaky, or Should Be Packing: Should be packing (sorry Tim, you're adorable, but I'm not sure anyone is THAT adorable considering the vocal.)

Joe Munoz "You and I Both" by Jason Mraz I may be in the minority, but I think they should ban Jason Mraz songs from American Idol. They're new songs, that feel so old when sung American Idol style. That being said, Joe sings it rather unremarkably, but way better than Tim Urban. In contrast to what we just heard, plus the destruction of a Kelly Clarkson classic, Joe delivers the strongest performance of the night. Once he gets going with a smile on his face and he lights up, it's even enjoyable. Considering what we've already heard, I expect him to be safe tonight, but not necessarily for very long. Simon Says: Kara says, "Tonight in terms of the singing, I think you were the best. You were the most consistent in there." Simon says he "kind of agrees," before decimating Joe -- you might succeed tonight but you'll be a failure in the real world. Safe, Shaky, or Should Be Packing: Safe

Tyler Grady "American Woman" by The Guess Who I so called this for Tyler, but not the style, which starts out slow, bluesy and sultry. I'm glad he didn't go for the straight up instant rocking with it and eased in a bit to his '70s sex panther shtick. It's not an extraordinary vocal and it's occasionally a bit screamy and sharp, but I'm interested in him as performer. I'm not bored stiff like the rest of the guys, Tyler has swagger, strut and fun. It may be style over substance, but it still feels like a dose of something good considering some of the snooze fest we've seen tonight. Simon Says: "Plus side, people are going to remember that performance. Pretend-to-be-a-rockstar school. We know what your style gimmick is, but you have to change it a little bit." As predicted, all the judges critique Tyler's '70s shtick, begging him to do more than pose. Safe, Shaky, or Should Be Packing: Safe (call me crazy, but I think his likability and alternative retro vibe will get him through week one.) We're half way through the night, who do you like the most? Who do you think is in trouble?
Lee Dewyze "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol Lee's my dark horse for the boys, so I hope he does well. I would never, ever have chosen this song for him, but Lee seems a fan of contemporary soft rock tunes despite the retro rasp to his voice. He's the first guy to bring out the acoustic guitar out tonight, which as noted, is added points. He makes a very memorable song his own, in a way I really like. It makes you focus on the lyrics to the tune, turns it acoustic, but doesn't make it unrecognizable. Lee's voice has character and style, as well as power and is the least cookie-cutter we've heard all night. Thus, I liked it, quite a bit. Simon Says: "I thought this was the best performance, by far. Totally. This guy is a naturally good singer. I fought for you to be there and I still will." Safe, Shaky, or Should Be Packing: Safe (with Simon's help and his natural charm)

John Park "God Bless The Child" John says getting hit on be Shania Twain is one the highlights of his night and that he'd propose to Shania tomorrow. And he promises he's not joking, I hope he is. Another Idol spoiler that was wrong, but this is basically the same as "At Last," it's a standard spiritual. I think it's a bad choice for John, yes he has the right deep soulful tone to do the song justice, but he doesn't. The song is not particularly memorable and it gets off to a super slow start, before going into vocal run after vocal run after vocal run. Also and most disturbing to me, when John sings, he's virtually impossible to understand. I need to be able to make out the lyrics to feel a song and I felt nothing. Simon Says: "You have got to have an incredible voice to take on that song, and you haven't. It came over as very flat and zero emotion." The rest of the judges agree with Simon and berate John for his poor song choice, just like me. Safe, Shaky, or Should Be Packing: Shaky (but will be saved by his pre-season Shania interaction)
Big Mike Lynche "This Love" by Maroon 5 Mike does a disco-acoustic rendition of "This Love" by Maroon 5. Big Mike seems to be a guy who's record collection is chalk-full of John Mayer, Jason Mraz and other blue-eyed soul acts. His voice is a little sharp and flat for me, but I love that he brought out the acoustic guitar for the performance, even if it mainly seemed to be a prop. Best of all Big Mike really performed for the audience, interacting with them and trying to entertain. It's not the greatest vocals, but he's gregarious, likable and not going anywhere. Simon Says: "You were like the support act before the main act. I've heard performances like that 10 or 20,000 times." The rest of the judges basically say your personality is so great, it doesn't matter how good or bad your voice is. Also, everyone else sucked and were boring, so you were a breath of fresh air. Safe, Shaky, or Should Be Packing: Safe
Alex Lambert "Wonderful World" by James Morrison Say this mantra with me: "Abbey will not type Adam Lambert. Abbey will not type Adam Lambert." I need all the help I can get with this task. Tim Urban may have superstar bangs, but he does not have a BANG MULLET: We haven't heard much of Alex before tonight, but when he is singing with confidence (which is almost never) he has an interesting, warm and rich tone. Unfortunately he and Tim Urban don't just look extra alike, the both have painfully off vocals. Alex appears to be forgetting the words or just so nervous that he can't control his voice at all. Or maybe he's singing the song off a teleprompter? It's embarrassing and awkward and you feel awful for him. His voice is interesting but the performance was terrible. Simon Says: "I don't know who was more happy for that to end, you or me. That was the most uncomfortable performance of the night. You have a good voice, a naturally good voice, but if you can't get your nerves together, this isn't going to work." Ellen compares him to an unripe banana and she means it as a compliment. Safe, Shaky, or Should Be Packing: Should be packing (he has a great tone, but everyone will remember the awkward trainwreck-ishness of that.)
Casey James "Heaven" by Bryan Adams A fit of laughter and clowning around from the judges' table almost trips up Casey, he almost starts cracking up and has a huge smile on his face. Thank goodness it didn't trip him up though completely, because Casey is the real deal. He may be handsome as hell, but that should not take away at all from how good his voice is. Casey sounds like he's country radio ready, with a slight rasp and a warm tone. He kills the song, making it a bit of a slow country crooner. I think it was my favorite interpretation of the night, maybe my favorite vocals too. Simon Says: Ellen says, "It was hard for me to hear, because I could feel Kara undressing you with your eyes. You're going to get votes like crazy, so it doesn't matter." Kara saves herself, "you are eye-candy, but you're ear candy as well." Safe, Shaky, or Should Be Packing: Safe (much to Kara's husband's chagrin)
Andrew Garcia "Sugar We're Going Down" by Fallout Boy Andrew was still better than almost everyone who went tonight, but for me this was his most unmemorable performance so far. His voice is still pleasing and interesting, his acoustic arrangement is still unique, he is still likable, but it was an incredible let down. And I'm not just sure it's because of the high expectations, it was just a bit off tempo and off tone all night. Bring back "Straight Up" quirkiness Andrew. Pretty please. Simon Says: "I was looking forward to you all night, but I was disappointed. It was too serious and too indulgent. Unfortunately it was a bit forgettable. I'm really really disappointed about that, you've got to do better." The rest of the judges agree with me: Bring. Back. "Straight Up."

Randy said, "Not good to be compared to those big singers." Simon said she was clumsy, "going backwards [and] could be in trouble." Janell Wheeler did Heart's "What about Love." Randy liked her voice, but said the song choice didn't work. Ellen thought she sang well. Simon said, "100-percent effort, delivered 65-percent."
Lilly Scott did the Beatles song "Fixing a Hole." Ellen exclaimed, "That's what we're talking about." Simon said, "Best so far [but] still not feeling much star-power." Randy said she'd make a good indie artist.
It was more Beatles with Katelyn Epperly doing "Oh! Darling." Simon said it had some "messy moments," but was quirky and interesting. Ellen said it felt pushed.
The Beatles bandwagon continued with Haeley Vaughn doing "I Wanna Hold Your Hand." Kara said it was fun. Randy had trouble with the high notes. Ellen praised her stage presence. Simon said she was "verging on terrible." Lacey Brown did Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide." Randy said the song choice was terrible. Simon said it was depressing, indulgent and boring. Kara added that she hopes America gives her another shot.

Didi Benami did Ingrid Michaelson's "The Way I Am." Simon said it was indulgent and dreary. Ellen found it too low-key for a first impression.
Siobhan Magnus took on the Chris Isaak song "Wicked Game." Kara and Simon liked it. Randy advised her to reach for bigger things. Ellen loved it.
Crystal Bowersox did the Alanis Morissette chick-anthem "Hand in My Pocket." Randy called it original and honest. Simon said it was good, "but there are thousands doing this outside subway stations."
Katie Stevens closed out the night with Michael Buble's "Feeling Good." Ellen said it was conservative for a 17-year-old. Simon said it "started to become annoying."

The Claws Came Out On the Bachelor Last Night!

Bachelor' recap: Jake, Rozlyn confront bachelorettes on Women Tell All special Jake confronted the women on "The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love" Women Tell All special Monday. Lucky for him, he was the last of the people they were pulling their claws out for because, in a shocking twist, Rozlyn was in the building! Jake opens up Before host Chris Harrison brought the bachelorettes up to tell their sides of their stories, he showed viewers a video of a private chat he recently had with Jake. During their talk, Jake was asked specific questions about several of the women. He talked a little about Rozlyn, saying he was really thrown off by her betrayl and wondered if he was doing the right thing. He talked a little bit about Elizabeth's games, which Jake said he respected originally but felt she took way too far. Jake talked about the moment that truly began he and Vienna's realtionship - jumping off the bridge -, and the moment he began to fall in love with Tenley - the dinner where the pair shared fortune cookies. Lastly, Jake was asked about Ali's departure from the show. Jake told viewers he really didn't want Ali to leave but that he couldn't give her a solid answer at that moment. Later, Jake was brought out in front of the live audience and eliminated bachelorettes to talk about his journey and his current status. Jake said some of the same things he had said in his private chat with Ali, along with a few new pieces of information. He and Ali had a rough moment when Jake said her leaving was one of his toughest moments, and she whispered "I'm sorry" to him. Another tough moment for Jake was hearing Catherine say she felt she was never given a chance. He told her that he just had a gut feeling that things weren't going to wind up in marriage. In the end, Jake was asked if he was happy, and he answered simple, "Yes, I'm happy." Highlights The women talked about why they disliked Vienna and fought with Vienna so much. Ella explained it the best, saying that Vienna was immature and didn't always think before she spoke. Elizabeth was asked about her no-kissing policy and games, and she said she regretted acting like she did. She added even she was annoyed watching the episodes.

These reunions are constantly taking place, and some of the bachelors and bachelorettes said that they believe they will always be friends with these people because of the bond only they share. Viewers saw "The Bachelors Give Back," which is all about former bachelors and bachelorettes lending a hand at some amazing local charities.

Is Simmon Cowell Getting Hitched?

Mamma Cowell Weighs In On Simon's Lady!! Has Simon Cowell's snarky little heart finally been softened by his new lady love?? According to his 84 year old mother, Julie, the answer is YES. She recently talked about how the grinch of American Idol's heart grew three sizes the day he met Mezhgan Hussainy: "I knew it was serious when Simon said he had something important to tell me. He has always insisted, 'I'm fine as I am, mother. I'm not going to get committed to a marriage and I certainly don't want children.' I used to reply, 'You don't know, you've never had them.' Mezhgan is absolutely lovely. She's very pretty with a gorgeous figure, too. I've met her before, of course, at Simon's shows, but only recently did I spend time with her as Simon's new girlfriend." He even took the two main broads in his life to the musical Jersey Boys for some bonding time!! "We sat at a discreet corner table and Simon held hands with her most of the evening. I couldn't believe it when I saw him. He looks exceptionally happy and there is such a glow about him. I thought, my goodness me, he's had to reach 50 to reach this stage. I think turning 50 has made him reassess his life." Aww! Mom sounds so proud!! Simon must really be serious about this lady friend!! We bet if they aren't engaged, they will be soon!! perezhilton

Rep Says Simon Cowell Is Happy – But Not Engaged Simon Cowell's rep, Max Clifford, tells PEOPLE he cannot confirm reports that the American Idol judge is engaged to makeup artist Mezhgan Hussainy. But don't be surprised if Cowell pops the question before too long. "I see it being repeated everywhere," Clifford says. "But when I asked him last Wednesday, when he and Mezhgan were about to fly back to L.A., I said, 'Are you engaged?' His answer was, 'Max, I'm not engaged.' That was last Wednesday." Clifford adds that he spoke to Cowell's mother over the weekend, and she also denied that Simon was engaged. But Clifford, who is getting married himself in a few weeks, says he wouldn't be surprised if Cowell followed him down the aisle sooner rather than later. "I said to him, 'So, there's going to be two weddings this year?' " Clifford says. "Normally he would say, 'Don't be so ridiculous' or 'In your wildest dreams.' But he said, 'Who knows?' " Whatever their official status, Clifford says that Cowell, 50, and Hussainy, 36, make a great couple. "They have known each other for years," he says. "They've actually been going out together for the last year. She knows him, she's been around him. So, she knows the person he is, and he knows the person she is. That's why it works so well." He adds: "They are very suited. She is someone who is independent and says what she thinks and feels, and he likes that. He's probably the happiest I have ever known him in the nine years I've been working with him." people.com

Tonight On The Bachelor...The Girls Will Tell All!

If you still have questions about what happened with The Bachelor's Rozlyn and a member of the production team, you'll soon find out. That's the word from host Chris Harrison, who promises Monday's women-tell-all episode will include more of the ousted competitor's "antics" and "desperate attempts to get 15 more minutes of fame." Harrison says the episode will also explore what might have been with Jake Pavelka and the departed Ali, adding, "feelings are still there." TVGuide.com: Will we learn more about Ali's choice to leave Jake for her job?

Chris Harrison: I know there's been a lot of questions about why she didn't get the time off, because she knew she was going on the show, but she'll explain all that in great detail. It was really just an unfortunate misunderstanding and mistake that led to her having to leave, and so it was really sad that it happened, and it didn't even need to happen.

TVGuide.com: What about her and Jake's interaction?

Harrison: The first thing he says is, "I can't believe you left, I fully expected you to just show up in St. Lucia." What was funny is when I talked to [Ali] privately, she said, "I expected him to just fly to San Francisco and get me." I think they both were expecting the same thing. It's just one of those really unfortunate instances, but the feelings are still there.

The Bachelor: Where Are They Now?

TVGuide.com: Will Rozlyn tell her side of the story?

Harrison: Rozlyn is back in full force as only Rozlyn can be. I got some heat and so did the show for being vague and so I went into the show [and] told everyone we're going to get the truth out. You will hear from the women explosive new details that you have never heard before, because none of them have ever spoken about it until now. There will be 100 percent no question in anyone's mind, other than Rozlyn's, of course. She's the only one confused about it in that relationship. The funny part, not even the guy involved in the relationship is confused. And when I tell you explosive new details, I mean details. Nothing vague about any of this. Time, place, everything — you will hear it all.

Chris Harrison on Bachelor scandal: Rozlyn "started this firestorm" TVGuide.com: So after the special airs, there will be no doubt about what happened? Harrison: It's not a he-said, she-said thing — everybody knows what happened. It only behooves her to continue this and she's the only one still talking about this. We are so done with her and her antics and her desperate attempts to get 15 more minutes of fame and that's what this is about and we don't care.

TVGuide.com: Anything you can tell us about the finale?

Harrison: Jake said himself he's extremely happy, he loves his decision, he likes where he is, and people may not love it, but he's very happy. The entire time he's been going through this, he's never really tried to suck up to the public or done what he thinks everyone will be happy with. I like the fact that he's gone against the grain the entire time. Being the bachelor or bachelorette is really a lonely job. You're surrounded by people all the time, but it is a very isolating, lonely thing to go through. These people get butchered; personally attacked. I tell all of them, all you owe is to yourself to be honest, make your choice and go live your life.

A New Man On Grey's Anantomy!



Do you see the family resemblance? I do. And so apparently does Grey’s Anatomy boss Shonda Rhimes. I know this because… Sources confirm to me exclusively that Rhimes just hired the guy on the left (Jake McLaughlin, of Starz’ Crash) to play the younger brother of the guy on the right (that would be Justin Chambers’ Alex Karev). Alex’s estranged bro, Aaron, checks into Seattle Grace as a patient in this season’s 19th episode. And as I pointed out in this week’s Ask Ausiello, the family reunion is rather momentous: This will mark the first time viewers will be meeting a member of Alex’s troubled clan. What took so long? You’ll find out when the episode airs in April.
