Latest Ed News: Say It Isn't So!

The NY Daily News is reporting that Ed's emails to the two other women he was apparently seeing while with Jillian claimed he wasn't attracted to Jillian. Jillian claims she was on the loop on this. I wonder how he explained it to her. http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/08/25/2009-08-25_emails_reveal_bachelorette_fiance_ed_swiderski_was_not_in_any_way_attracted_to_j.html

Maybe it went something like this:

"Uh, Jillian, we need to talk. You know how you're the Bachelorette and have 30 guys after you? Well, there were these two women that I told that I love them, miss them and have no interest in you. I hope you can forgive me. Let's go adopt a dog together and get married."

Hmmm. Couldn't have been as easy as that. But she DID keep Wes around for way longer than she should have.

I know, we're all so over this by now. Oh well. How are you all doing this summer, btw? I am on vacation until Sept 8th, when I start my new job, so sorry it's been a bit slow on the postings lately. Things will pick up in the next week or so on this blog. See you then.

Ed's on His Best Behavior!

NBC Chicago reports that Ed was back in Chicago this weekend, hanging with his boys. They went out to hit the clubs, but Ed kept his hands to himself. That's one plus in his column. Rumor has it, the two are adopting a dog together when Jillian moves in with him in September.

They're Still Together...For Now

According to today's article, Jillian and Ed are still going strong. They've escaped to Vancouver and are riding jet skis together. No doubt it must be difficult to endure what these two are trying to overcome.

Speaking of escaping, the Fiance and I are off to Chicago tomorrow for a weekend trip. Have I mentioned that I am starting a new job in a couple of weeks? I'm officially on vacation. Haven't had this much time off since college. Hooray!

Ed's Castmates: Jealous or Just Plain Truth?

Looks like Reid, Michael Stags, the evil Wes and Jesse are all saying that Ed was less than a boy scout. Two of them even claim that he had a girlfriend while on the show. From the interviews Jillian and Ed have given about this - it sounds like he has come clean to her about some shenanigans that have gone on. As to whether any of it continued after they were engaged - that is the question.

Reid, Wes and Jesse - their opinions are kind of taken with a grain of salt. I don't trust Wes at all. Jesse seemed a bit bitter on the reunion show, and you know Reid hated Ed from the start. That leaves us with the honest Michael Stag whose opinion I trust. I would hate to see Jillian defending Ed to the end, only to have it come out that he's a filthy liar. Poor Jillian. I hope she can figure out the truth: http://www.usmagazine.com/news/castmates-ed-talked-about-having-a-girlfriend-on-bachelorette-set-2009118

Jillian and Ed Clear the Air...

You may have already seen this, but it's Ed and Jillian directly defending themselves about the allegations - including the allegation that he slept with another woman 8 days after he was got engaged to Jillian.

See for yourselves whether you believe him. Might take: they are still obviously very much in love. I'm not doubting that something actually went on with Ed and these girls during the season of The Bachelor, but I am not convinced he cheated on Jillian after he proposed.

Let's Take Another Look Here...

So Ed is rumored to be a three timing, cheating, scum of the earth, jerk. The two women who have recently come out to accuse Ed of having sex with them (one of whom, claims Ed slept with her 8 days AFTER his proposal to Jillian) have caused a lot of drama in what last week was a happily ever after for our girl Jillian.

According to one article, Jillian has already gotten the full story on these girls from Ed. Ed told her about the text messaging, the phone calls, etc. Don't forget - Ed made the decision to actually leave the show. He wouldn't have left the show he realized he was head over heels in love at that point. Fast forward to when he comes back, he is in it to win it. I definitely saw a change in him at that point.

Let's also remember that our girl Jillian was doing some pretty crazy things with other men days (even hours and moments) before getting engaged. Let us not forget:

1. She was in a hot tub with Reid, sans clothing, days before getting engaged to Reid.
2. She could not stop making out with Kiptyn the day before she got engaged.
3. She had an overnight date with Kiptyn and who knows what went on there
4. She went into hot tubs with Kiptyn as well
5. Moments before she accepted Ed's proposal, she was freaking out about Reid's proposal. It definitely confused her and she admitted that Reid's feelings on the matter were not "crazy" - that she definitely has a connection with him. If Chris H hadn't talked her through it, I wonder how much longer Jillian would have been confused.

Now let me ask you this: If you were Ed, and your future fiance had done and of 1-5 above within 72 hours of you geting engaged to her, would this perhaps bother you???

Well, so in this situation, Ed is having other relationships with other girls. The only real question then, is did Ed cheat on Jillian after they got engaged? And also - did he lie to Jillian about anything that he had done with these girls while he was professing his love for her?

Personally, I think this whole process is such a crazy journey, that I wouldn't be surprised if they could both just forgive each other and move on. Look at Molly and Jason - he embarrassed and broke her heart in front of millions of people. Not only that - he chose another woman and got engaged to her. The fact that they have lasted this long proves that forgiveness is possible.
The circumstances of this show are like none other.

Here's the article: http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/08/05/2009-08-05_the_bachelorettes_jillian_harris_not_worried_about_cheating_claims_against_fianc.html

True Blood Co-Stars and Lovers Get Engaged!!

For all of you True Blood fanatics (I just can't get enough of this ridiculous show), the big news is that Sookie Stackhouse and her vampire love Bill Compton are getting hitched in real life!!

http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/08/05/2009-08-05_true_blood_costars_anna_paquin_and_stephen_moyer_engaged_to_be_married.html

Maybe the Fiance and I can honeymoon with them and see if he bites her and drinks her blood in real life.

Say It Isn't So: Ed CHEATING???

Us Weekly is reporting that our beloved Ed actually had 2 girlfriends behind Jillian's back. Now maybe he did prior to the show, but that doesn't mean he is/was cheating on our girl, Jillian.

I guess it will all come out soon enough. Emails and text messages are smoking guns, unfortunately. I wonder if the truth will come out. Poor Jillian. She shouldn't have to go through this! Reid and Kiptyn are probably pretty steamed about this.

I heard from Mike Steinberg that he had dinner out in Chicago with Ed and Jillian a few days ago. He says their the real deal and that they'll last. Let's hope so.

I will admit that I used to be a subscriber to US Magazine - it was a step above some other trashy celeb magazines - though not as reliable as People Magazine. Anyhow - here's the link to the horrid story. My guess is that Ed may have been involved with these girls before he left for the show, but I have no doubt that he is committed to Jillian now (at least I hope so).
