Brad Womack's loss is America's gain!

Reports are surfacing (again) that Emily Maynard, the winner (depends on your definition of winner) of Womack's second go-around on The Bachelor, has been selected to be the new Bachelorette. Womack and Maynard ended their engagement last summer after she was reluctant to relocate.

So what changed her mind? And what did host Chris Harrison have to tell us about Maynard's casting when we caught up with him last week?

Bachelor Pad Hunk Kasey Kahl Busted for Bender With the Boys?

Kasey Kahl

Maybe he's still taking last November's breakup with Vienna Girardi pretty hard. Or perhaps he was partying with his very own version of the Wolf Pack.

Either way you cut it, Kasey Kahl—a former suitor on ABC's The Bachelorette who most recently appeared on Bachelor Pad 2 bickering with Vienna before she dumped him—was arrested in Fresno, Calif., early Sunday morning for causing a drunken disturbance at a local hot spot.

Here's what went down.

Love can hurt—but probably not as much as this!

Kiptyn Locke, who with girlfriend Tenley Molzahn was runner-up on the first season of Bachelor Pad, needed emergency surgery yesterday to repair ruptured discs that were dangerously compressed against his spine, according to Molzahn's rep.

"Thanks to the amazing doctors who acted quickly, his 4.5 hour surgery was a success and he is on his way to what doctors feel will be a full recovery," the rep said in a statement. "Kiptyn, Tenley and his family want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. We will give an update at a later time. We appreciate your continued prayers."

At least Locke doesn't have to worry about frivolities like roses and group dates anymore.

Ben Flajnik told Ashley Hebert after getting rejected last season on ABC's The Bachlorette he "didn't see this one coming"—and he definitely couldn't see what was in store for his own season 16 of The Bachelor either...grandmas, bacon, horses, and all!

So True So False, STSF

And they said it wouldn't last. Well, turns out they were right. So now that bachelorette-once-more Ali Fedotowsky's former fiancé no longer wants to put a ring on it, where oh where has that bauble gone?

According to reports, the reality star has already returned (in record time, it would seem) the 3-carat, asscher-cut $50,000 diamond engagement ring from whence it came—not to former TV love Roberto Martinez, but to celebrity jeweler Neil Lane.

But is it true? Did Ali really part with her precious so soon? Don't touch that dial, because this rumor is…
