Take that, Bachelorette DeAnna! Chrishell Stause (Amanda), 26, and Graham Bunn, 29, are dating. They attended the premiere of Amber Tamblyn’s (ex-Emily, GH) movie sequel, Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants 2, together recently. She spoke with People magazine reporters about pairing up with the former Bachelorette reject. And so did he. “I’m very grateful and very flattered to be with this beautiful lady. I’m the luckiest guy in the world. She’s just amazing,” Bunn – a former basketball pro – said. Of Bunn, Stause described, “He’s a really good [romantic] boyfriend. He’s very sweet. Anytime he acts up I say take your shirt off and just be quiet.” The two knew each other from before DeAnna Pappas’ The Bachelorette reality-TV show, (thanks to intros from a mutual pal), and then met up again when it was done.
Before, Alicia Minshew (Kendall) was all about her character and Cameron Mathison’s (Ryan) when they were romantically linked on the show. Now, she’s all about the enormous popularity of Kendall and Zach. Among her favorite Zendall moments: sharing lobster after divorcing in 2005, getting hitched on a yacht in 2006 while Kendall carried Ryan’s bundle of joy, bowling in 2007, hanging out with the children.
Ricky Paull Goldin (Jake; ex-Gus, GL) made quite an impression on the cast and crew of AMC, his new home. First of all, he attracted the unwanted attention of director Conal O’Brien who couldn’t believe, half-joking, that this big deal from GL was standing there in rehearsal muttering like mad. Then, Goldin amped out a little too much in the scene where he’s rescued from his African kidnappers, and wound up slamming his head into a closed door and cursing out loud. On film. O’Brien was heard on the loudspeaker telling Goldin, “I don’t know where you’ve just come from, but over here, we’re not allowed to use those words. It is Disney, after all.” –Soap Opera Digest, August 5, 2008
Amanda Baker (Babe) is like most people growing up in the ‘90s TV culture. She religiously watched Will Smith’s Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air so much she can sing the opening song: Now this is the story all about how, My life got flipped, turned upside down…
Gossip for the week of 04-Aug-2008
With Chrishell Stause (Amanda) stepping out in public on the arm of her beau Graham Bunn (The Bachelorette) comes the inevitable gossip about whether he remained faithful to her from the beginning till the end of that ABC reality show’s filming. Bunn claimed to be unattached during the filming, hooking up with Stause afterwards, but others say different. A purported insider – according to a recent Us magazine – said the note Bunn gave Bachelorette DeAnna Pappas (after she kicked him out of the running) confessed that he was already in love with actress Stause. This is the most fascinating part of AMC and it’s not even on the show!
