THG Asks: Bachelorette Edition! Who Should Ashley Choose, Ben or J.P.?


THG Asks!

Welcome to THG Asks, a feature in which two of our celebrity gossip experts debate topical issues in the entertainment world and you decide who wrote the winning argument!

Today, THG Asks: Who should Ashley Hebert choose on The Bachelorette season finale, Ben or J.P.?

BEN by Free Britney

He doesn't look like a stereotypical reality show hunk. Heck, he looks like a less handsome version of Constantine.

He uses phrases like "ruh-roh." He talks about his deceased father too much. He took his sweet time before he would truly open up to Ashley.

Frustrating? At times, yes. But all of these things are part of what make Ben Flajnik so human, so appealing, and the obvious choice for our girl.

There's no facade with Ben, a funny, smart, free-spirited Sonoma winemaker with a lot of heart (no matter how closely he guarded it for weeks).

He's the genuine article. Ben isn't fling material. He's husband material, a complex, nurturing guy with whom love can actually Evolve over time.

Hopefully, Ashley picks Ben and all he brings to the table on Monday's finale. If not, I bet come January, ABC can find 25 other girls who would.

Can Ben pull off the upset on Monday's finale?

J.P. by Hilton Hater

If I had a nickel for every time JP Rosenbaum and Ashley Hebert have made out on The Bachelorette this season, I'd have more money in my bank account than Chris Harrison gets for playing the most pimp-like host on TV.

These two have serious, lip-locking chemistry!

While others clearly came on for the wrong reasons (eat it, Bentley!), JP is as nice and honest as any contestant in recent memory. Has this made for especially entertaining TV? Not every week. But the show is about love, not ratings.

JP has all the physical attributes Ashley could want in a mate, as well. He's easy on the eyes and he resides in nearby NYC, just a quick car ride away. Might he be living a double life? Sure. But no guy is perfect.

THG Asks you ... who should Ashley choose?

Leighton Meester & Justin Long Dating?

Leighton Meester & Justin Long Dating?

Are Leighton Meester and Justin Long involved in a bi-coastal romance? California girl Meester is currently in New York City filming Gossip Girl -- and, according to the New York Post, she's been spending her off hours at Justin's downtown pad.

"Justin has a place on the Lower East Side, and they have been spending a lot of time together," says a source.

Meester and Long (who's still best known professionally as "the Mac guy" from the "Mac vs. PC" commercials) were first spotted getting romantic in May, when they shared a French dinner in Hollywood and left the restaurant holding hands. They actually met in 2010, when Meester had a small role in Long's 2010 romantic comedy Going the Distance -- which costarred Drew Barrymore, his on-and-off girlfriend for three years. (Meester played the girl who dumps Long in the film's opening scene -- awkward!) But Barrymore has now moved on to socialite Will Kopelman, leaving Long, 33, free to pursue a new romance.

As for 23-year-old Meester, she has yet to have that kind of high-profile hook-up (unless you count occasional Gossip Girl actor Sebastian Stan, whom she dated for two years). She was briefly linked to her Country Strong costar Garret Hedlund in January, when they were reportedly "all over each other" at the Golden Globes. But that flame seems to have cooled by the time the movie hit DVD.

It sounds like Meester and Long have a good thing going, but we may never hear all the details; Long was notoriously coy about his relationship with Barrymore, and Meester -- unlike, say, her Gossip Girl costar Blake Lively -- is keeping her romantic outings discreet.

We hope the rumored romance is true, if only to provide a bright spot for Meester -- who's currently involved in a nasty legal dispute with her duplicitous mother.

22 Guy Careers That Sound Great On Paper, But Just Aren't In Actuality

22 Guy Careers That Sound Great On Paper, But Just Aren't In Actuality

When I was younger, I thought that dating a professional baseball player would be awesome. Free VIP seating at every game, the notoriety of being a celebrity wife, plus getting to look at a chiseled, athletic body every day? Sign me up! I thought. Well, life has taught me to be more of a realist. First of all, what are the chances I could actually come into contact with and successfully seduce a pro athlete? Second, what about road games? I mean, would he ever be home? And then there are the groupies. I try not to be territorial or jealous (note: try) but those girls are ruthless!

So, I was thinking: How many more potential professions sound amazing, but have some major downsides? Check out these guy careers and the reasons that dating these gainfully employed men might be more difficult than you think.

Effing Snooki Blames Car Crash on Faulty Brakes


Effing Snooki.

The Jersey Shore train wreck may have caused an auto accident that sent two police officers to the hospital in Florence, Italy, but she says fans shouldn't blame her - obviously, because she's always on the ball - just the car.

"The brakes weren't really working in our Fiat," Snooki, a.k.a. Nicole Polizzi, says. "They were, like, old. I tried to use the brakes and they didn't work."

F'ing Snooki

"So to avoid the cops, I ran right into a wall so I didn't hurt anybody."

Sounds totally logical to us.

Following the crash that resulted in Snooki temporarily losing her license, the Jersey Shore gang stuck close to home. "The only time we [drove was] to the gym, so after that, we'd just walk around," she tells Extra.

Nicole and her cohorts return with new episodes August 4. If you haven't seen it yet, check out the sexual, violent Jersey Shore Season 4 trailer!

'Cowboys & Aliens' Nude Scene 'Crazy,' Olivia Wilde Says

Co-star Daniel Craig had to 'look me up and down,' actress explains.

Olivia Wilde might have been covered in dust and dirt while shooting "Cowboys & Aliens," but that didn't make shooting a mostly nude scene in front of her co-star Daniel Craig any less awkward.

"It was kind of strange because I was half-naked in front of a bunch of people, including the crew, a bunch of Apache warriors, a bunch of cowboys, and Daniel Craig, who I had to stand in front of basically naked," Wilde explained to MTV News. "He had to take a moment to sort of look me up and down before covering me in a blanket. And I was like, this is crazy."

It didn't help that after the long night of shooting, Wilde and the rest of the "Cowboys & Aliens" cast had to take an overnight flight to San Diego Comic-Con to make their Hall H presentation. So if fans remember her being a little frazzled, it probably has something to do with the fact Wilde had no sleep after filming a scene in which she was partially nude for the majority of it.

As fans will find out come Friday's release of "Cowboys & Aliens," the scene Wilde is talking about — which has been teased in the film's many trailers — happens at the climax. She said filming the sequence was an "honor" because it is such an important moment in the movie.

"It was really exciting because we knew we were creating something kind of spectacular in that scene," Wilde said. "It was a really cool effect happening, as people will see."

The actress said she didn't wear much make-up and required little hairstyling while filming because the style of the flick was "very bare." She said it was a very dirty shoot, and not just because she was almost naked.

"We were literally dirty because we were riding all day long out in the desert, and you get very dirty. But the dirtier everybody looked, the hotter they looked. It was a really good look, I think," she said.

"The people in the Old West were very dirty. The thing that's unrealistic about our movie is all our teeth: We have good teeth; they didn't have good teeth. So, logic police will call BS on that."

Check out everything we've got on "Cowboys & Aliens."
