SPOTTED: The new “Bachelorette” Emily Maynard was at The Grove May 22 for an interview by Mario Lopez for “Extra!”
“I had a million reservations [about being the next Bachelorette] and I said no to anybody who would listen. But time went on, we started talking again, and they were so accommodating that it was [too] great an opportunity to pass up,” the 26-year-old single mom said.
“I had a great group of guys. I had the time of my life and learned so much about myself,” Maynard added. “It was the best experience getting to travel and to give Ricki the opportunity to see things she wouldn’t have otherwise.”
When asked who the front-runners are, Emily named a few of the men including Sean, Ari, and Jef…but she wouldn’t divulge any more than that!
Not too long after we put to rest rumors that Maria Menounos and Derek Hough were dating each other, does Maria go and start getting chummy with yet another TV personality.

SPOTTED: Lisa Marie Presley and husband Michael Lockwood at The Grove for an interview with Renee Bargh of Extra.

SPOTTED: The X Factor finalist Rachel Crow ran into American Idol finalist Joshua Ledet last night after the Idol semifinals.
Funny coincidence that the two met on a night that Joshua sang I’d Rather Go Blind by Etta James which Rachel had also performed during her time on The X Factor. Sadly, Rachel performed that song as her ‘save me song’ on the night that she ended up being eliminated.
Crow could not stop gushing over how well Joshua rendered his interpretation of the James classic. Watch Joshua’s performance here.
Maria Menounos and Derek Hough may have gotten voted off of Dancing With the Stars tonight, but the two recently tried to lay to rest rumors that the two were dating each other.
Maria Menounos is hands down my favorite female celebrity to photograph. Why? Well, for one, she is beautiful and my camera loves her. But she is also funny, quirky and downright cool to be around!
Here she is, knowing my camera is ready to shoot and what does she do? She gives me the shot of the day 😉 You are so cute Maria! And, thank you for the laughs!
