Jake Pavelka Rebounds Without Vienna Girardi

CELEBRITY ENCOUNTER.

  Although I wish Vienna Girardi well and was saddened to hear how unhappy she was in her relationship with Jake Pavelka, I am all about Team Jake. When it comes to their very public and gut-wrenching breakup, I don’t care who is telling the truth, who is lying and who did what to whom. All relationships have issues and problems and nothing is ever a one-way street. And none of what happened between those two is any of my business – and so, I won’t write about it.

All I know is that Jake Pavelka has always been nice to and extremely open with me whenever I have seen him around town and I don’t have one negative thing to say about him. So I feel the urge to help clean up his image a bit. I also want to defend him against the accusation that he is a “fame whore.”  I see that everywhere and it is just not a fair assessment.

I ran into Jake the day the news about his breakup with Vienna first hit the stands and I found Jake hiding from Paparazzi. Call me crazy, but I would think “fame whores” would run to instead of hide from cameras.  I actually helped Jake calm down by telling him, mistakenly I learned later, that the Paparazzi were not there for him but instead for Ray Lewis of the Baltimore Ravens who happened to also be around our vicinity at the time. I was wrong as I saw a picture of Jake from the same time period  in the tabloids later that same day.

When someone nearby asked him that day “Who are you that the Paparazzi thinks so much of you?” Jake simply answered, ” I am nobody. I was on a reality show. That’s all.” Those words would not come from the mouth of someone who is “smug,” “arrogant,” and “publicity hungry;” some other false adjectives I have read describe Jake.

Anyway, what’s the big deal about wanting to be famous or on TV if that is what Jake wants to be/do?? How many of us would turn down an opportunity to act on TV or make TV appearances? I can safely say no one I know in LA would avoid such chances, including myself. So, why can’t Jake pursue such activities – let’s give the guy a well-deserved break and stop all the judgment.

I ran into Jake again today as he was rushing to get to Dodger Stadium. It was the first time I have seen him since the airing of the ABC special where he and Vienna went about 12 rounds throwing mud at each other. Jake flashed me a smile as he ran by and asked me how I have been doing since we last met. I said unbelievingly, “How am I doing? Are you kidding me Jake? How the heck are you doing?”  He just smiled back. I think he looks like he is doing great considering his world came crashing down not too long ago.

Jake was in a rush because he was on his way to Dodger Stadium where he threw the first pitch at tonight’s game  between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Florida Marlins.

Jake is also flying again and he Tweeted this picture yesterday. Jake surely looks great in any uniform, whether it be a Dodger jersey or his pilot attire.

Next up for Jake is an appearance on The Bachelor Pad set to premier on ABC August 5. I don’t know if I will be watching since the little faith I had left in The Bachelor series went out the window with this break up. The fact that another Bachelorette couple, Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski called it quits today doesn’t help either. [UPDATE: After meeting the cast of The Bachelor Pad at their Red Carpet Event, I changed my mind. The cast has me all excited about this show and I can’ wait to tune in.] Jake will also be on the August 22nd episode of Drop Dead Diva. Here is a sneak peak of that episode:
