Slade Smiley arrested Friday...

Yup, that's Slade's mugshot above. The third part of the "Gretchen Rossi rectangle" (Gretchen-Jeff-Photoglou-Slade) was picked up on an outstanding civil warrant for back court costs and child support. He was held on $10,000 bail and released.

This is beyond pathetic....Slade's youngest son is very sick and Slade has been pretending to manage Jo's career and now Gretchen's. Honestly, he should have been arrested for being a major part in "Date My Ex."

The house he lived in for the show, "Date my Ex" clearly wasn't his and rumors of his being broke have swirled for years. Here's a guy who should have left the Real Housewives of OC and never looked back.

Here's the OC Register article on Slade's arrest. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/smiley-costa-mesa-2314808-warrant-arrested

Jay Photoglou sells his "story" to the National Enquirer

What a loser! I noted in an earlier entry that some car salesman, Jay Photoglou, had taken over the internet by posting EVERYWHERE that he'd had a relationship with Gretchen Rossi while she was engaged to a dying Jeff Beitzel. I guess he wasn't content only doing damage on Myspace and the OC Register site so he took it to the gem of honest reporting--The National Enquirer!! HA!

http://www.nationalenquirer.com/real_housewives_oc_gretchen_secret_boyfriend_cheat/celebrity/66230 This is the link for the online portion of the article. I won't bother buying a copy to find out who Gretchen dumped Photoglou for--as he has broadcasted all over the web that it's SLADE SMILEY.

What a pathetic situation. I couldn't care less about Jeff and Gretchen's relationship. And really, who goes off blabbing to the National Enquirer anyway? Since they PAY for their stories, I guess we know the motivation. I think Photoglou is a sore loser. End of story!

PS--Here is his Myspace. He must have set it to private in the last few days because when I last saw it, he had a picture of himself and Gretchen as his main photo--now it's a photo, presumably, of just him and he changed it from public to private. What a sissy!! I guess if I sold out to a tabloid, I'd hide, too. Here's the link: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=9926872

The Bachelor--"Reality Steve" and ending spoiler

I have admitted that until THIS season, the last time I faithfully watched "The Bachelor" was the first season, with Alex. I never once tuned into "The Bachelorette." Last spring, I watched some of what's-his-name in "London Calling" and I wasn't surprised when the engagement was called off--that seems to be the constant with this franchise. The idea of dating 25 people and at the end of six weeks, finding a spouse? It seems like the equation continually fails.

I didn't see any of Deanna's show so I knew nothing of Jason, except the clips I saw of him bending on one knee (for an awfully long time) to propose before being rejected. When he was selected as The Bachelor, I set the DVR and decided to watch this season unfold.

I've been immune to the constant hype of the "most dramatic finale EVER" since that's all Chris Harrison says regarding each rose ceremony, but clicking around the internet, there has been a buzz about this season that has gone from a whisper to a full blown SHOUT. I'll state that I have no idea who Reality Steve is, except that research on his prior spoilers seems on target. After trying, without success to solve his riddles (which, frankly, were ridiculous), I was relieved when he made a post in the early morning hours...containing 3 Youtube links and now, more than 12 hours later, they are still on his site. Without further ado, if you want to be shocked and see how this season pans out, click here: http://realitysteve.com/

I actually believe what Reality Steve has posted. There has been a concerted effort by ABC and the show itself to boost ratings, the shows were increased to 2 hours in length, and Deanna's reappearance has been teased since day one. What do you think? Especially in light of Chris Harrison's blog this week and the announcement of a THIRD hour to the Final Rose and a closed taping...I say, yes.
