Truth: The Jillian-Ed Engagement is Still On

While there were rumors that Jillian has left Ed because of his two-timing ways, Jillian went public saying that none of those were true. The girls can say all they want, but she’ll believe in Ed this time around. She said that the girls made big, great lies about Ed and that’s all there is to it. And this will be the last time she’ll talk about the matter publicly.

Even The Bachelorette host Chis Harrison claimed that the girls, who were Ed’s ex’s, created a story and were lucratively paid for it. As for Jillian, she said that she can’t think of any reason why she would do such a mean thing to anybody like they had done to her. Ed still maintains his innocence in the whole shebang.

The good news is that Ed and Jillian are still together and the engagement is still on. Hopefully, they’ll get into planning their 2010 wedding.

The Bachelorette 5 Debuts Monday, May 18 9/8c

While the promo picture might show off the tropical locations, rumor has it there will be lots of Canada shoots this year.

“Part of me says, ‘Jill, stop while you are ahead. Now that you have done this and learned a lot about yourself, do it the old-fashioned way.’ The old-fashioned way hasn’t really been working for me, so the other part of me says, ‘Jill, just go ahead and do it. You are an adventure seeker. Give it a shot and maybe you can find him that way.’ I think I have to sleep on it — and maybe have a glass of wine.”

I can’t wait for the debut!  Jillian is so spunky and fun that it should be a fun season.

ABC The Bachelorette debuts May 18, 2009

ABC apparently can’t wait to wash away the bad taste of the ending of Jason Mesnick’s The Bachelor season. The network has announced that former The Bachelor bachelorette Jill Harris will serve as the star of a still-unfilmed new The Bachelorette edition that will premiere on May 18.

The network made the announcement at the conclusion of Tuesday night’s broadcast of The Bachelor: After the Final Rose Part 2 special that served as the final wrap-up to Mesnick’s The Bachelor season, which ended with Mesnick picking Melissa Rycroft in the show’s Final Rose Ceremony but then dumping her in favor of Molly Malaney — the woman he originally dumped in favor of Rycroft — on-air during the taping of season’s initial After The Final Rose special six weeks later.
