Reid Rosenthal, the third runner-up on The Bachelorette who shocked viewers after returning to the show, getting down on one knee and proposing to Jillian Harris on Monday’s season finale – is still hurting over his rejections.

“I thought I was the best guy with her,” he said. “I knew I wanted to spend tomorrow [with her]. I wasn’t 100 percent sure we were going to get married in six months or a year, but I knew she was someone I wanted to spend a lot of time with.”

“I actually thought that my relationship with Jillian was 50 times better than the other guys. I thought it was my job to come back and get her.”

Reid Rosenthal adds that if he had admitted his love for Jillian earlier, she would have eliminated Kiptyn Locke in the penultimate episode, not him.

“At this point, I had strong feelings for her, but like I said at the [After the Final Rose] taping, everything happens for a reason,” says Rosenthal. “That helps me have some closure right there. Everything works the way it is supposed to work out.”

Ready to date again “pretty soon – immediately,” Reid Rosenthal admits that his recent modicum of celebrity has certainly been a hit with the ladies.

“It’s insane! I thought it was just in Philly but now I’m out in L.A. and I was hanging out by the pool minding my own business and every single person came up to me and wanted to take pictures with me,” a bewildered Reid recalls.

“When people come up, they are like, ‘We feel so bad.’ Two months have gone by now, so I’m a little more detached than when I first got back.”

As for Jillian Harris, Rosenthal says he has nothing but the best of wishes for her and Ed Swiderski: “If she’s happy, I’m happy for her,” he says.

Lastly, Reid, who was able to return the ring he bought for Harris, is not sure if he’d like to be the next Bachelor, should that opportunity arise.

“The upside is that you have 25 girls coming after you, which can never be a bad thing. I trust the process at this point even if it is a little unnatural and you have to get to know somebody faster than you typically would,” he said.

“The downside is it is a ton of work. With real estate being so busy now, it’d be hard for me to figure out how to keep my business and do that.”

Who should be the next Bachelor?

In case you were wondering, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian are sisters. Not saints.

The official poster for Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami makes this distinction clear, as the less well-known siblings of Kim Kardashian get totally photoshopped pose seductively on a boat and hype their upcoming E! series.

It premieres on August 16. We’d be more likely to tune in if the title of the show was more apt, alliterative or simply less dumb. Something along the lines of…

• Kourtney and Khloe Go Klubbing
• Kourtney and Khloe Tag-Team Miami
• Kourtney and Khloe Konsider Their Useless Lives, Often Sunbathe
  
• Kourtney and Khloe Stoop to Any Attention-Grabbing Level to Get Out of Their Sister’s Shadow

Can you kome up with any better name for this ridiculous reality series?

Megan Fox has a message for the public:

Stop comparing me to a widely-respected humanitarian and Oscar-winning actress!

Sick of how often critics and magazines mention her in the same breath as Angelina Jolie, Fox told Fox News this week:

“I think [it's] a lack of creativity on the media’s part. I think it’s cause she has tattoos really…. I am a brunette with tattoos, I curse and I have made mention of sex before… Everybody is the new somebody although none of us are any of those people, so you just walk around with it, you live with it.”

Must be a tough burden to shoulder, Megan. We’re really sorry. We have no idea why this comparison would ever be made. Not at all…

Gee, from where would anyone get the idea that Megan Fox resembles Angelina Jolie?!?

You can breathe a sigh of relief — it wasn’t the fat chick after all. Jude Law’s baby mama is actually an “aspiring model/actress” (surprise, surprise) named Samantha Burke. TMZ says

Our sources say DNA tests [confirm that] Jude’s the daddy. Burke’s due date is October 6th… she’s expecting a girl she will name Sophia.

Burke’s attorneys [said], “Ms. Burke can confirm that she did in fact have a relationship with Mr. Law and that she has informed Mr. Law that she is expecting his child later this fall. Since informing Mr. Law of the pregnancy, he has been nothing but responsive and supportive of Ms. Burke and the pregnancy.”

However, today a source told The Sun

‘There is a high-powered lawyer in the girl’s family who is getting involved and Jude is terrified he will be financially cleaned out. Her family are also furious and upset that Jude has had his way and disappeared… with no further contact.’

The newspaper also claimed that Miss Burke wants a ‘large maintenance payment and total financial costs, including a percentage of Jude’s future earnings, to be agreed in writing.’

So she’s not as dumb as she looks after all! Clever girl. There’s a lot of money to be made in being a mother. If you can’t sell them to a sweatshop in Bangladesh or whore them out in a Thai brothel, children make fantastic pawns in divorce court. I call my oldest one my “ace in the hole!”

Eminem has once again gone back to the seemingly endless well of celebrity disses and pulled out a new diatribe directed at Mr. and Mrs. Nick Cannon.

The reason (not that he’s ever needed one) – he’s firing back at Mariah Carey’s recent Slim Shady-channeling video for her single, “Obsession.”

In “The Warning,” Eminem raps:

“I got the exact same tattoo that’s on Nick’s back, I’m obsessed now, oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee?”

He goes on to gloat about the time Mariah “was wild ‘n’ out before Nick” and when he himself gave Carey “somethin’ to smile about.” Wow.

This all started, we think, because Carey has made light of her reported relationship with Eminem back in 2001, and the rapper is clearly pissed.

Eminem gave Carey a shout-out in his recent tune “Bagpipes From Baghdad,” which included a pointed suggestion to Cannon to “back the f*%k up.”

Cannon responded in May that “homeboy is still obsessed with my wife.”

A few days later, Eminem implied to listeners of the satellite radio show he was hosting that he had once urinated on the superstar. On purpose.

Back to Team Cannon. Earlier this year, Carey dressed up like Eminem and poked no small amount of fun at him in her music video for “Obsessed.”

Which brings us to “The Warning,” in which Eminem scaldingly raps:

“You probably think if I had something on you I woulda did it by now, on the contrary, Mary Poppins, I’m mixing our studio session down and sending it off to mastering to make it loud, enough dirt on you to murder you, this is what the f–k I do…”

“Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures?”

Oh, boy. “But if I’m embarrassing me, I’m embarrassing you and don’t you dare say it isn’t true,” he continues later in the track.

“As long as the song’s getting airplay I’m dissing you, I’m a hair away from getting carried away and getting sued, I was gonna stop at 16, this is 32, this is 34 bars, we ain’t even a third of the way through.”

Bottom line? Don’t expect to outlast Eminem in a feud.

Whose side are you on?
