Ash has been confirmed as the next star of The Bachelorette!

The announcement was made on Monday night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live, a few hours after the finale. The new season kicks off Monday, May 23 on ABC!

The pride of Madawaska, Maine, is now The Bachelorette!

Showing off her new look, the 26-year-old, who graduates from dental school in a few months, told Kimmel that she believes everything worked out for the best.

That sentiment was echoed by Chantal O’Brien, The Bachelor runner-up and likely first choice for The Bachelorette, who has since found love with Jeff Razore.

As has been well-documented, a set of crazed Beliebers have been threatening Selena Gomez ever since she started dating the singer. Now, Great Britain’s Daily Mirror reports that a pair of obsessed followers actually broke into Justin’s Liverpool hotel room last week.

“Two girls snuck in through a side entrance and stole housekeeping outfits,” a source tells the newspaper. “After ditching their regular clothes and slipping into their new costumes they got the lift to Justin’s suite and knocked on the door… Having been allowed in, the girls began half-heartedly polishing tables and dusting surfaces.”

This all took place while Bieber was trapped in the hotel because the streets were filled with screaming fans.

Justin was not in the room as the girls giggled endlessly and were eventually discovered snapping photos of the artist’s belongings. They were then “evicted from the premises,” according to the report.

While Bieber has always been supportive and loyal to his fans, this incident left him understandably “furious,” the insider says. He checked out that same day.

No, we’re not talking about Kellan Lutz. Happy birthday BTW, Kellan!

Anyway, our winner: Chantel S.! The winning entry appears below.

Honorable mentions go out to Jennifer, Bethann and Mary Jetmore. Thanks to everyone for playing and best of luck in our next Caption Contest!

Among the quotes and tidbits various singers shared on the red carpet, James Durbin was asked about similarities to Adam Lambert. He didn’t respond so kindly to the constant comparisons:

“I’m kind of tired of answering that question. We’re completely different people stylistically, tone-wise. The only similarity that we have is the high note… He put his foot in the door; I want to try and put my foot straight through the door. He did some rock, I liked it. I want to do some metal like Iron Maiden, ACDC, Ozzy, Sabbath.”

Here’s a look at what other finalists had to say, which includes a warning from Karen Rodriguez: Look out, Jennifer Lopez!

Rodriguez told reporters: “Marc Anthony stops by sometimes and he gives me hugs and thumbs up… He’s another one of my idols. If there is someone who I would love to sing with and do a duet with, it would be him.”

Lauren Alaina likes a judge: “If anyone tries hard enough, they can have a connection with Steven Tyler. He’s really down-to-earth and he’s a great guy.

Scotty McCreery can sing more than country: “My first couple preliminary auditions before I went in front of the judges, I sang Frank Sinatra and John Mayer, so I do different stuff.”

Haley Reinhart respects the concept of song choice: “It would be cool to find out how to pick a great song because there are so many components: You’re thinking about the audience, how you’re going to connect with them and with the judges and with yourself. It’s such a big deal and you have a little time to do it.”

The fashion designer, who was caught on camera railing against Jewish people in Paris last week, will stand trial later this year for these allegedly anti-Semitic remarks.

If found guilty of violating the 1990 Gayssot Act – which prohibits “any discrimination founded on membership or non-membership of an ethnic group, a nation, a race or a religion” – Galliano could face up to 6 months in jail and up to $31,000 in fines.

Man. Charlie Sheen should consider himself lucky to be giving interviews in America, huh?

Dude saved her life after all.

The former sex tape legend says of the Vegas entrepreneur, who she’s been dating almost a year: “He’s so loyal and protective of me. He’s my hero.”

“He saved your life in what way?” Ellen asked. Um, how about literally?

“I got burglarized a few months ago by this guy who came in with two huge knives,” Hilton said. “And Cy… stopped him.” Amazingly, this really happened.

Hilton called Waits “loyal and amazing” and said he’s her “best friend.” “He treats me like a princess – he got me a car for my birthday, which is so sweet.”

She’s sure Cy will propose too. It’s just a question of when, and rest assured that THG, like the ho-tel heiress herself, we hold our breath in anticipation.

Asked by Piers Morgan if he’s happy with the way Obama has been running the country,”Matt Damon simply replied: “No.” He then elaborated:

“I really think he misinterpreted his mandate. I no longer hope for audacity.”

The Adjustment Bureau star cited education as one area in which he believes the President has failed.

“The idea that we’re testing kids and we’re tying teachers salaries to how kids are performing on tests, that kind of mechanized thinking has nothing to do with higher order. We’re training them, not teaching them.”

In 2008, Damon often appeared at fundraisers for the Democratic candidate and hit the campaign trail on Obama’s behalf.

New spoilers leaked online claim to reveal the main storyline for this July 2012 blockbuster. Consider yourself warned: stop reading now if you wish to be surprised in the theater…

The plot will reportedly focus on the League of Shadows, a vigilante group led by the daughter of Ra al Ghul, Talia (Marion Cotillard).

As Bane, Tom Hardy will star as Talia’s muscle and possible love interest, while Joseph Gordon-Levitt portrays another villain connected to the organization. Then there’s Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman.

Look for this iconic character to join forces with the Caped Crusader and battle the aforementioned enemies.

What do you think, fans? Are you more excited now for The Dark Knight Rises?

The ex-wife of Charlie Sheen has allegedly barred the off-the-rails actor from seeing the former couple’s daughters, Sam and Lola. Why? Because she’s “disgusted” by his recent actions/comments, a source tells TMZ. And she simply doesn’t trust him.

Richards has specific reasons to feel this way, beyond the mere words coming out of Sheen’s mouth.

According to the restraining order filed this week by Brooke Mueller, Sheen told those around him that he “hated” Denise and wanted “her haired shaved off.” Insiders say this rant came about after Richards refused to pose for a photo with Sheen, their daughters, Brooke, her sons … and Sheen’s “goddesses,” Rachel Oberlin and Natlie Kenly.

Perhaps we were too quick to judge Richards and her reality show a couple years ago. It really is complicated for this actress.

One of his most notorious playthings says she is pregnant – hey, he always wanted a “porn family” – but luckily for Charlie, she does NOT think it’s his.

Not that he’s going to be on the hook either way. She’s “taking care of it” ASAP.

The awkward text message Kacey sent him yesterday afternoon appears here:

After dropping the p-bomb, Kacey continued, “I don’t believe it’s yours, but I’m going to Oregon to take care of the situation.” We’re sure he feels relieved.

As for why Kacey Jordan thinks Charlie is in the clear? He used protection, BUT Kacey says both of them were so out of it she’s not positive it did the trick.

These things happen during 72-hour cocaine benders. Don’t you hate that?

According to sources, Kacey, who already aborted K-Fed’s baby in the past, plans to terminate the pregnancy soon, and never heard back from Charlie.

Probably for the best. These two really don’t need to be procreating.
