Who is the new 'Bachelor?' ABC makes the official announcement.

He's a familiar face to fans!

After weeks of speculation, we now know who will be the next star of ABC's The Bachelor, and he's a name that should be really familiar to those of us who follow The Bachelorette. It's Sean Lowe! Wait, who? Oh come on, you remember sweet Sean, the adorable, soft-spoken Texan that Emily Maynard kicked to the curb during the most recent Bachelorette season, right? The blonde with the gorgeous chest?

That's right: Sean Lowe the Hottie is next up to become the center of attention as the country's most eligible man!

'American Idol' has the judges in place

Who got the other two spots?

Oh American Idol, I'm trying so hard to still like you, but it's becoming more and more difficult. After months of speculation and wild theories, we now know that Idol will have four judges this year, and only one of them is a veteran. Who got the other spots?

We already knew that Mariah Carey was on board as a new American Idol judge this year, and we recently found out that Randy Jackson was also staying (there was some talk he might move to a mentor spot). Now, AI has chosen two additional judges, and I'm sitting here wondering if this little experiment is going to work.

Is a Kardashian interview more important than a 9/11 moment of silence?

NBC thought so.

NBC is under heavy fire after opting to air a Today show interview with Kris Jenner, the matriarch of the Kardashian family. Why? Because it happened on Tuesday, the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.

Instead of observing a moment of silence to mark the moment the first plane struck the World Trade Center, NBC opted instead to launch right into a Today show segment with Kris Kardashian about her hit TV reality show. I was watching, and I couldn't believe it.

Did Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively get married?

Rumor has it the two have tied the knot.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have been dating for about a year. In that time, they've been virtually inseparable, even purchasing property together in upstate New York. Rumors that these two were planning to marry have swirled for months and now, it seems, they've actually done it!

Ryan and Blake got married over the weekend, in a ceremony held in South Carolina. How plans for the big day got past the press I'll never know, but everyone's on it now!

The MTV Video Music Awards 2012 offered few surprises

Did Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart appear together?

This year's MTV Video Music Awards is a wrap. The show, quite honestly, offered few surprises. And no, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart did not appear together. Stewart is in Toronto, at the Toronto International Film Festival, where she's busy promoting her new movie On the Road. Pattinson was at the VMAs, appearing alongside his Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 cast mates to tease a new clip from the film.

Overall, the show was just so-so. Yes, I caught a few highlights that I really enjoyed, but I'm starting to find these kinds of shows repetitive and boring.
