Reality TV lovebirds, Vienna Girardi and Kasey Kahl really seem to love each other inside and out, according to People. Girardi may have felt she wasn’t pretty because of the size of her nose, but boyfriend Kasey Kahl says, “I honestly think she’s gorgeous and beautiful inside and out so it doesn’t matter to me.” So even though her beau feels she’s perfect, he flew out to Houston to be with Girardi during her rhinoplasty in July. As if that wasn’t sweet enough, Kahl also told Girardi,”I am here for you and I support you no matter what you want to do” after the surgery. That’s true love right there.
How do you know when your partner loves you, for you?

The new season of Bachelor Pad recently premiered, and just as new reality stars are moving in for the cameras, reality TV stars Vienna Girardi and Kasey Kahl are looking for a pad to call their own.

Girardi said, “We are looking at apartments and will take the next step in our relationship.” Sounds like love is truly in the air for these two, who started dating several months ago and have been going strong ever since.

The rocky relationship between The Bachelor’s Brad Womack and Emily Maynard may have finally reached an impasse. People reports that last weekend, Maynard, 25, was spotted without the engagement ring Womack, 38, presented to her in the show’s finale. The two released a statement in March, saying: “It has been a bumpy couple of months for us, and our priority right now is to focus on our relationship.”
How do you know what engagement ring to choose for your partner?
As we all know, Ashley Hebert was one of the final three women in the running for Brad Womack’s heart last season on ABC’s The Bachelor. While the spark between them eventually fizzled as Ashley repeatedly experienced doubt about their relationship, this dainty dentist is back for round two of the love game as season 7’s Bachelorette!
We’ve followed all of the buzz leading up to this season, as people have wondered what type of bachelorette Ashley would be, and even made a few early predictions about her first picks. Without further adieu, here’s last night’s season premiere recap:
As if The Real Housewives of New York City doesn’t provide enough entertainment already, now one of the reality show’s main men, Simon van Kempen, is busting onto the music scene with a pop and dance track called “I Am Real.” The single, to be released today at 11 p.m. EST on Bravo TV’s Watch What Happens: Live, takes an ironic look at the reality star and others from The Real Housewives of New York.
Produced by JSM Music in New York City, the track was specifically written about van Kempen’s experience on the hit show and is the first of its kind, according to a press release. “Not many people know this, but I spent my childhood and early 20’s studying and performing as a musician. Music has been a huge part of my life, and although I never thought of myself as a singer, I was thrilled and a little nervous when Joel Simon and JSM approached me with idea of creating a song,” said the star. “More than anything, I wanted the track to be fun, irreverent and to talk about my real experience on the ‘Real Housewives of New York City.’”

Bachelorette couple Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez can’t wait to tie the knot. However, according to People, they have yet to announce their wedding date to the public. Lucky for the groom-to-be, the former reality star is no wedding diva. “She’s not a bridezilla, thank god,” Martinez said. “I’d be scared to death if she was, but no, she’s awesome.” It looks like the world of reality TV can count on one less bridezilla.

Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom may be sickeningly cute on their new reality show, but that doesn’t mean the two don’t have disagreements. E! Online reports that when the couple recently spent some quality time together on a hilltop overlooking Los Angeles, Kardashian brought up her husband’s best friend, Jamie. The 26-year-old said she thought Jamie was taking advantage of Odom, who was ignoring it because of their friendship. The NBA pro finally agreed to talk to his pal to sort things out.
What do you do if you have an issue with your partner’s best friend?
If you’re from New York or a fan of ABC’s reality show Shark Tank, there’s no denying that you’ve heard of Barbara Corcoran, the savvy real estate mogul who started her business with only $1,000 (given to her by an ex-boyfriend) and parlayed it into a billion dollar company. She now sits among a panel of business tycoons (all men) as they battle it out to invest their hard earned money into the next big idea or product pitched to them by starving entrepreneurs. For Corcoran, a woman who has been building a business all of her life, she says the show was perfect for her. More than a successful entrepreneur, she is a wife and mother, something she proudly speaks about. She says that most of what she learned about business was by watching her mother helm a household of 10 kids. Her inspiring story is chronicled in her latest book, Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business.
We had the privilege of speaking with Corcoran, who offered advice to single women who are interested in starting their own career. She also shared what she’s looking for when choosing a new business. The answers may surprise you; it’s not all about the numbers. Take a look at what she had to say:

Looks like we have another teen star domestic violence dispute on our hands. E! Online reported Tuesday that another young mom from the newest season of MTV’s reality TV show gave her baby daddy an Amber-Portwood-esque bashing … but it’s her dad who was taken away in handcuffs. Jennifer del Rio, who delivered twin boys last October, is seen screaming, “Say goodbye to your kids, Josh, because you will never see them again!” in the trailer for season 3 of 16 and Pregnant. It’s so much drama, and show doesn’t premiere until April 19!

Teen Mom 2 fans finally got to see show favorites Leah and Corey get married on the season finale. According to UsMagazine.com, Leah, 18, and Corey Simms, 20, who have two 15-month-old twin daughters, tied the knot in October of last year. “We want the girls to have their mommy and daddy forever,” Corey said of their decision to marry. On a lighter note, the groom talked about a funny moment during the ceremony. “Leah messed up the vows!” Corey added, “She said a couple of words wrong, so we laughed a little bit.”

Another Kardashian, another reality show! Access Hollywood reports Khloe Kardashian and hubby Lamar Odom are currently promoting their new E! show, Khloe & Lamar. But with reality TV’s long history of ruining relationships (like Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey or Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro), the couple are taking a chance by letting cameras film every moment of their personal lives. However, Kardashian insists that the show has actually strengthened her family’s bond. “This show has made [my family] closer and stronger, because it does make you spend time with each other, and also, this show is therapy to us.” She added that watching herself on camera has helped her become a better person. “We do watch things and when we watch them we’re like, ‘Oooh – I hated how I treated you,’ or, ‘I hated how I said that,’ and you learn to mature and change yourself.”

Cincinnati Bengals star Chad Ochocinco may have rushed his engagement to fiancée former Basketball Wives star Evelyn Lozada, but don’t expect to see them walking down the aisle anytime soon. “He has four kids. I have one. We want to be engaged for at least a year and enjoy our time with our children, and then we’re going to plan our wedding,” said Lozada at Cosmopolitan‘s Fun Fearless Males of 2011 party. Ochocinco thinks that his relationship with Lozada works so well because they are completely open with each other, according to People. “I know everything about her, so there are no surprises,” said the football player.
Is it important to know your partner’s every secret?
After two long seasons and more than fifty women, Austin native Brad Womack has finally chosen his bride-to-be: blonde bombshell Emily Maynard! But before we get to the details of their final week in South Africa (and the shocking announcement during the After the Final Rose special), let’s take a look back at The Bachelor season 15 finale:

It looks like Scott Disick, Kourtney Kardashian’s on-again off-again boyfriend, has finally cleaned up his act. Disick, who has a 1-year-old son with Kardashian, has had problems with addiction in the past. But Disick insists that now he’s committed to staying sober for his family. He told People, “There’s times that it’s difficult but, you know, the good outweighs the bad… It’s nice having a healthier lifestyle than I used to have.” Disick also said that being sober has made him a better person. “You know, I just realized there’s bigger things in the world than just being a selfish, self-centered, pr—k.”

If you want to know the key ingredient to winning (no Sheen pun intended), look no further than last summer’s Bachelor Pad winners: Natalie Getz and David Good.
Even though these two former contestants didn’t strike a love match on their respective Bachelor-franchise seasons, this dynamic duo made their mark as the first couple to win the ABC spin-off reality show, Bachelor Pad, where 19 past contestants competed for a grand prize of $250,000.
Throughout the show’s run, this couple focused on making their way to the finish line. If there’s anything we can learn from watching Getz and Good, it’s that three important traits are needed to keep any relationship moving forward: loyalty, trust and friendship, which they exemplified. While most romantic couples aren’t competing for anything but each other’s hearts, these elements can have you and your partner come out winning too – whether it’s for love, marriage or happiness.
Cupid had the opportunity to speak with Natalie and David about love, dating and how their lives have changed since Bachelor Pad ended. Read on to see what they had to say:

LeAnn Rimes took to Twitter to set the record straight once and for all. She and fiancé Eddie Cibrian have no plans to do a reality show, despite rumors. According to People, the singer tweeted on Wednesday, “I don’t know how many times I have to say Eddie and I would never do a reality show about our lives.” A rep for the couple also confirmed that they have absolutely no plans to do a reality now or in the future.
What are benefits of staying out of the public eye as a couple?
