The first Canadian Bachelorette Jillian Harris is finally down to only two choices – Kiptyn Locke and Ed Swiderski – after saying goodbye to Reid last night (July 13).

I don’t know how it’s possible for someone to fall in love in a reality show like this. You just go on multiple dates, don’t have enough time to really meet the guys and have to make quick decisions that can actually change your life forever. All on TV!

Here are some highlights from Jillian Harris’ OK! Interview:

Jillian on the process of the show: It’s 17-hour days and running from one place to another, and finding time just to have a bite to eat. In the beginning, you have to be emotionally available to all of the guys and not spread yourself out too thin. It can be really draining.

Jillian on choosing a partner: You definitely do fall for more than one person in a situation like this… but eventually you know what you’re getting into. My final choice wasn’t a difficult one to make.

Jillian on her chosen suitor: I’m a firm believer that I made the right decision. The relationship failing is a fear, but I can’t control that. If it happens, it happens. I will be in the same place that I was before this, which is a great place.

Who will win “The Bachelorette”?? SPOILERS!! And the guy who conquered Jillian’s heart is Ed Swiderski! Poor Kypton Locke is left heartbroken after being dumped by Jillian but he has already signed to be the next Bachelor!!

Former ER star Maura Tierney revealed she found a tumor in her breast that needs to be surgically removed. The 44 year-old actress is very optimistic and wants to thank fans for all the support.

“In an effort to guard my privacy, it seems that the wording of NBC’s press release has unfortunately caused some confusion and undue alarm about my health. I have discovered a tumor in my breast which requires surgery,” Tierney says.

“I will not know either my exact diagnosis or course of treatment until that surgery is performed. My doctors have all assured me this is a very treatable condition,” she goes on.

Adds the actress, “I’m very optimistic as to the outcome and want to thank everyone who has sent positive thoughts and support. I look forward to going back to work soon.”

Maura’s condition has pushed back the premiere of her new NBC’s drama “Parenthood” that was scheduled to begin filming in July 27. No air date has been set yet. We wish Maura can have a fast recovery.

Jon Gosselin’s new girlfriend Hailey Glassman is a bad girl! She was arrested (mugshot above) for possession of two bags of marijuana back when she was a student at the Bloomington, Ind. Campus in 2005 after being caught smoking from a pipe with some friends.

Hailey settled the case outside of court and was put on probation. Several compromising, dirty photos of Hailey’s Facebook (photos below) were leaked. I can’t even believe this woman is just 22 years old because she looks much older.

Jon and Hailey were seen in public for the first time enjoying a romantic vacation in Saint Tropez (photos here). This is not the type of woman you want near your eight kids… I’m just saying!!

President Barack Obama will nominate Dr. Regina Benjamin, who is well known of her fierce determination to rebuild her nonprofit medical clinic after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, as U.S. Surgeon General (a position as people’s health advocate) in the Rose Garden today.

Regina Benjamin, an Alabama family physician, runs a rural health clinic in Bayou La Batre. She was the first African-American woman to head a state medical society and received a MacArthur Foundation “genius grant” last year.

Michael Jackson’s abusive father, Joe Jackson, is reportedly already master planning a tour to introduce ‘The Jackson 3’ (The Jackson Three), a new version of ‘The Jackson 5’, starring Prince, Paris and Blanket.

Jackson’s biographer Ian Halperin said yesterday: “Joe wants the children to go on a world tour in 2010. He has also already offered recording contracts to two of Michael’s kids. Now he is talking about getting them the world’s best backing band and taking them on tour as The Jackson Three.”

Joe is going to exploit these kids just like what he did to Michael, who desperately wanted to keep his three children out of the spotlight. In a recent interview, Joe talked about Michael’s children potential for a future in the show business. Joe also said that he and Katherine Jackson, Michael’s mother, should have joint custody of the children.

As far as we know, Michael hasn’t even been buried yet and Joe is already thinking about a sick way to make money out of his children. Katherine and Debbie Rowe have reportedly made a secret deal to keep Joe out of the children’s life.
