Unbelievable (well, not really)

Another reality show romance bites the dust.

Bachelorette couple DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak have called off their engagement, he reveals in a video on their Web site.

"I kind of feel like it's our responsibility to tell you we're not together anymore," he says.

"DeAnna broke up with me two days ago, and I just wanted to come on here and tell you guys face-to-face," he continues. "I'm sorry - I did everything in my power to try and make this work.

"She's a great person, but she wasn’t willing to try anymore," he says. "She wanted something different. The answer I got was, 'I love you, but I'm not in love with you.'

"That's a lot to swallow, no matter who you are," he says. "It's a lot to take in."

The video then ends.

My current celebrity rant



Forget mere celebrity. Beyoncé says she aspires to icon status.

"There is a time limit on being a pop star, yes," the Grammy-winning singer tells the October issue of Marie Claire's U.K. edition. "Being a legend, an icon? Absolutely not."

"I'm over being a pop star," Beyoncé, 26, adds. "I don't wanna be a hot girl – I wanna be iconic."

Are you freaking kidding me? Is it not enough to be beautiful, sucessful, wealthy, and famous Beyonce? Seriously, it totally pisses me off when celebrities get greedy! Maybe one day you will be a legend Beyonce but please don't blind us with your ego!

For those who were brokenhearted....

Yes, Jason will be the next Bachelor this fall.

Shop Smart

I found this magazine at a little podunk store in Victor last week and fell in love with it! It is called Shop Smart and it is put out by Consumer Reports. And get this...NO ADS!!! If you don't believe me go get a copy! There is tons of great advice on what appliances are the best and how to save money on back to school clothes. It comes out once every two months.

Uptown Girl

On trying to decide what to blog about this week, I ran across this picture of Christie Brinkley buying a pretzel in New York. This poor woman has been drug through the mud the past year. If you're not up to speed in celebrity news, her very handsome yet slimy husband Peter Cook cheated on her with his 19 year old assistant. Christie has handled herself with class and grace and private details of her life has been made very public. Last summer as the paparazzi were swarming her house in the Hamtpons she handed out popsicle's to them. The day after the fourth of July she entered the courthouse to settle her divorce and asked the press if they enjoyed their Independence Day because she is going to enjoy hers. Christie Brinkley is an iconic beauty who I admire but not because she's beautiful.

In the Works...

As one of the last few remaining quality reality shows, Project Runway kicks off Season 5 tonight on Bravo. I am totally obsessed with this show and can't wait for tonight (the preview showed them making clothing out of items they buy at a grocery store). I wanted to have a big bash tonight but this week has been crazy. So this is a Save The Date notice-- I will have a PR season finale party and it will be a blast! Everyone invited!

Another reason not to eat at McDonald's

My Dad has been in NC for less than 24 hours and already has a hilarious story. While he was waiting to pick my mom up from the airport he decided to hop over to a nearby McDonald's for a quick bite. As he was pulling up to the drive-thru window a couple of employees threw a cup out the window and were laughing. When my dad glanced down to see what was in the cup he saw a mouse jump out of the cup and scurry across the parking lot. Then the employees proceeded to hand him his bag of food---yeah--thanks but no thanks. Gross!
