Corinne Olympios: Make Me The Bachelorette!

As previously noted, Corinne Olympios never wants to receive a rose ever again.

Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel just a couple hours after viewers saw her get eliminated on The Bachelor, Olympios said she was taking a new tact to dating.

She told the host that she was through trying to impress men… that they should just love her for who she truly is… and also:

“If anyone ever tries to give me red roses again, I think I might punch them in the face.”

That’s fair, right? Considering all she went through as one of the women who advanced very far on the latest season of this ABC competition?

Due to our unparalleled section of The Bachelor spoilers, we’ve known for weeks that Corinne would not win Nick Viall’s heart.

But the controversial contestant said throughout her media rounds on Tuesday that she was shocked when she didn’t receive a flower this week.

She was also heartbroken.

Still, this doesn’t mean Corinne wouldn’t be interesting in actually being the one to hand out roses at some point in the future.

Oh, yes, are you listening The Bachelorette producers? Someone is about to make you a pitch.

“That’d be really amazing,” Olympios told Entertainment Tonight of becoming The Bachelorette, adding:

“Of course I would do it, it’s an amazing opportunity for anyone who gets asked.”

Someone has already been asked, however.

ABC confirmed late last month that Rachel Lindsay will take on this role for Season 13, finally giving the series an African-American anchor.

We somehow doubt executives will change their mind and replace her with Corinne. Even if Corinne has proven that she’ll do pretty much anything on camera.

“People saying that I used sex or my sexuality to get roses is just stupid,” Olympios told ET, defending her personality on the show.

“I know I definitely was a little bit promiscuous, but it’s a TV show, so it did look a little more promiscuous and a little bit more heightened.

“But you know, I did what I did and you know, no regrets.”

Olympios told Kimmel that she never considered herself to be a villain because she never acted in a malicious manner to Nick or any of her fellow suitors.

But she is aware of the reputation she cultivated during her run on The Bachelor.

“I think that maybe I was a little bit slut-shamed, but come on, if there’s no sexual attraction then just don’t even bother,” she told ET. “To all you women out there, take that advice…

“Going on the show takes a lot of guts. If you’re going to do it, go big or go home, baby!”

And now Corinne has, indeed, gone home.

Will she end up on Bachelor in Paradise? It’s pretty safe bet.

Will she end up as The Bachelorette? The odds are against it?

But would you WANT to see her as The Bachelorette? Would you want to see her as The Bachelorette over Rachel Lindsay? There’s something we can at least debate.

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom: It"s (Respectfully) Over!

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are no longer dating.

But this doesn’t mean that Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are no longer getting along.

The singer and the actor, who had been together for just over a year, issued a joint statement on Tuesday night, updating fans about the change in their relationship status.

They wanted to get out ahead of any chatter that would start running rampant once word of their break-up went viral.

“Before rumors or falsifications get out of hand, we can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time,” reads the statement.

Having not been seen in the same place for weeks, due to busy schedules, Perry and Bloom were spotted at the annual Vanity Fair Oscars party on Sunday.

They did not pose together on the red carpet of the event, however.

And while they chatted a bit once inside, a witness tells People Magazine that Katy and Orlando were clearly on different pages during the shindig.

“Katy didn’t spend much time with Orlando,” said the onlooker. “They got together for a photo, but that was about it.”

Perry and Bloom kept their romance quiet for the first few months, but it then became apparent just how serious things were between the stars.

There was once talk of an engagement.

In December, folks started to wonder if Perry was pregnant with Bloom’s baby.

While not exact reason was cited for the split, both Bloom and Perry have been traveling the globe of late. On their own.

The actor, for example, recently returned from a UNICEF mission to Diffa, the southeast region of Niger.

In late January, he also visited a high school in Greater Manchester, England in order to spend time with a drama class taught by his former teacher.

Perry, meanwhile, has been been busy promoting and performing her new single, “Chained to the Rhythm.”

She did so first at the Grammys in Los Angeles last month… and then in Great Britain at the BRIT Awards.

She’ll take to the stage again at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Sunday in Los Angeles.

In other words: this really may have been a cast of busy schedules breaking a famous couple apart.

Prior to hooking up, Perry was married to Russell Brand, while Bloom was wed to Miranda Kerr, with whom he shares a six-year-old son named Flynn.

As much as we love drama here at The Hollywood Gossip, it doesn’t sound as if we’ll be adding Perry and Bloom to the photo gallery above.

This seems to be a mature, amicable break-up.

We wish both of the stars luck in their future personal endeavors.

Beyonce Shares NEW, Gorgeous Pregnancy Pics

Under doctor’s orders, Beyonce will no longer be performing at Coachella.

But that doesn’t mean fans have seen the last of the singer’s baby bump prior to Beyonce giving birth.

The beloved artist made sure of that on Tuesday evening when she shared a slew of new pregnancy photos on her official website.

In typical Beyonce fashion, the pictures were released without any warning.

And they did not include any captions or commentary.

But People Magazine has confirmed that Beyonce and Jay Z swung by the Weinstein Company and Grey Goose’s party for the Academy Award-nominated movie Lion at the Montage in Beverly Hills, California.

Prior to leaving home, Beyonce struck a few poses in her $ 420 fitted, long-sleeved green Nicole Miller dress.

As you can see above and below, the superstar accessorized this outfit with a ruby-themed choker and glittery matching bangles.

In case you (somehow) missed the announcement, Beyonce is pregnant with twins.

The singer confirmed this long-gestating rumor one month ago when she shared a revealing photo on Instagram and wrote as a caption along with it:

We would like to share our love and happiness.

We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. – The Carters

That photo, unsurprisingly, is now the most-Liked photo in the history of social media.

Since the announcement, neither Beyonce nor Jay Z has said anything else about the impending babies.

We don’t know their gender or their names.

But that doesn’t mean the wildly famous tandem has remained behind closed doors.

Heck, Beyonce actually performed at the Grammy Awards just two weeks after nearly destroying the Internet with her pregnancy announcement.

You can (nay, you should!) check out that performance below.

She and Jay Z also sat front row for the NBA All-Star Game in New Orleans.

Prior to Beyonce taking the Grammys state, she was introduced by her mother.

“What makes me most proud and why why I’m here tonight to introduce Beyoncé is the devotion and love I see in here for my daughter, and the way she has always expressed love to all of those around her,” Tina Knowles Lawson said at the event.

Beyonce, Baby Bump Put on Powerful Performance at 2017 Grammys

This isn’t the first time Beyonce has given followers and up-close-and-personal look at her baby bump, either.

Just a day after informing us that she’ll be bringing two new lives into the world, Beyonce shared a number of pregnancy images online.

Some were semi-naked. Some included her daughter, Blue Ivy. All were mesmerizing.

Relive one of the most popular and interesting photo shoots of all-time right here and now:

We cannot wait to meet Beyonce and Jay Z’s little ones.

The stars have yet to announce a due date, but take a look at all the pictures posted above; it clearly can’t be too far away.

By this summer at the latest, we’d have to imagine Blue will have a pair of new siblings and Americans will have a reason to wake up every day once again.

It’s gonna be awesome.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 7 Episode 13 Recap: The Truth

Did Lisa Rinna apologize for her wild claims about Kim Richards’ sobriety?

That was her plan on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 7 Episode 13 when it became clear the only way forward was to open up about her outburst. 

When the episode got underway, Kyle Richards was setting up for her pastry party with pal, Carnie Wilson. If you’re a reality TV junkie, you probably remember Wilson from Celebrity Apprentice. 

Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 7 Episode 13 Online

Turns out, the pair became fast friends and are planning parties together. The aim of Carnie’s game was to show off her sweet confectionery treats to the ladies. 

Her presence will no doubt result in her sweet treat sales going through the roof. Hey, everyone likes some free promotion. 

Lisa Rinna was invited to the event, but she made it clear she was scared about attending the event. 

“I swear to God, I don’t remember saying any of these things to Eden, but I also don’t think that Eden would lie,” the actress admitted to the camera.

If you watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills online, you will know that Rinna has tried to deflect the whole situation. It’s almost like she knows she said it and does not want to admit it. 

However, the truth was just around the corner as Harry Hamlin got involved and she revealed that she would tell Kim about her part in it. 

Hey, that was easy… right?

On the way to the party, Lisa Rinna admitted to Erika and Eileen that she did, indeed, say those things. Erika was the most shocked, but she also worried about her friend. 

“I hate hearing this. Kim’s going to kill her,” Erika said to the camera. “It’s tough. She’s going to get f–ked up.” 

Eileen was disappointed with the truth because she felt like Rinna was self-destructing by making claims of this caliber. 

The next stop on her apology tour was to tell Kim the truth in front of everyone. 

“After game night, I met with Eden, and I said some things in the heat of the moment that I didn’t remember exactly, and now that I’ve had time to think about it and to talk to Harry about it, I said them. I said them,” Rinna confessed.  

“You are always saying things, and then you’re like, ‘Oh I said it, and I’m sorry!’ You told Eden that I am near death, that I am not in a good place — that is so uncalled for,” Kim argued.

Rinna fired back, “Well, I see that you’re in a good place now.”  

Lisa Vanderpump decided to use her time to call out Rinna for the way she treated Kim. Rinna was very dismissive, but Dorit decided it was her time to be heard and asked what Kim had done to make her feel that way. 

“You don’t think of the consequences for other people! My children are affected. My sisters are affected. My friends are affected. My grandchild will be affected!” Kim shouted. “This is so treacherous!”

Kim then focused her attention on Eden Sassoon, who was in on the act with Lisa. 

“You, being in recovery, go around and repeat it!” Kim shouted.

“How would you feel if I said, behind your back, ‘I don’t know if Eden is sober or not?"” 

However, Eden did not give a damn because she was apparently sober. 

You can’t compare your situation with ours,” Kim reasoned of the way Eden kept trying to compare her life with her sister to hers. 

The whole thing was then twisted to comments Kim made about Harry and Lisa ended up on top form. 

“Do you know how many people have come up to him and said, ‘What did you do?"” Rinna asked Kim. “So it did hurt our family.”

After that, all the ladies aside from Vanderpump decided that a new leaf was the best way forward. 

Something tells us LVP will have a say in whether this ends, or not. 

What did you think of the drama?
