US Weekly's cover story is what Emily's hiding. The story inside covers her alleged temper (citing Brad relationship as evidence), alleged demands for the show, the Hendricks' alleged disapproval, and plastic surgery. Also covers how Emily already knew about Jef thanks to his connection to Doug who is connected to Michelle Money. Allegedly Doug called Emily as soon as he found out Jef was on the show to encourage her to keep him along because he's a good guy. US Weekly says it seems to have worked because he goes far in the show. I didn't see anything new in the story, mostly rehash of things already out there. There is also an inset on how guys went wrong on the show, citing Ryan, Kalon, and I think Tony.

Life & Style has a more sympathetic 2 page story about how protective a mom Emily is.

In Touch has a story focusing on Emily's alleged temper I think. Negatively slanted as you'd expect from In Touch.

Star has a 2 page positive story in which Sean's ex praises him as the perfect guy.

I think that's it though it's possible OK has a feature too. But if so, it's nothing new.

Thanks cfck2222. Here are the covers:

Thought I'd post this little portion from my US Weekly that I bought today...hope it is interesting. I don't buy into ALL of what US Weekly says, but it certainly throws up a couple of signal flares for me in terms of losing parts of the WHOLE story...

From SHE HAS A TEMPER (p. 56-57)
"...After the two (Maynard and Womack) split in June 2011 and she was tapped to be the Bachelorette, "she got difficult" says a show source. "She knew she was the star, so she became a bit of a diva." That attitude rears its head in an episode airing June 11. Maynard goes off the rails when she learns Kalon McMahon, 27, referred to her daughter as "baggage". She rages "I want to go West Virginia hood-rat backwoods on his ass" and tell him to "get the f--k out." She later tells contestant Jef Holm, 27, she's upset he didn't give McMahon a black-eye. And she refuses to hand out a date rose because she's angry the men didn't fill her in earlier about McMahon's shadiness.

Race car driver Arie Luyendyk, Jr. also got on her bad side. During shooting, Maynard learned Luyendyk had dated a female Bachelorette producer in 2003. "She was livid," says a source. "She cut him right then and there. Her ego was shot." The show source said Maynard briefly stopped speaking to the producer. "She was Emily's confidante," says the source. "Emily felt betrayed."

I don't believe that Emily was high as diva-like as this purports, but it's interesting that she doesn't give out a group rose. Did we know that?

Dang, Emily! She's a fun Bachelorette to watch, but I've thought ever since Brad's ATFR that she definitely has a temper. At least the guys got to see what they were in for this time.

she definitely has a temper, which is why it was good that she n Brad didnt make it. Two bear tempers do not a match in heaven make.

Was Jef on this date? I didn't think he was, so I am wondering if they got this wrong and it was Arie. The media thing for next week says Arie is in the hot seat...so maybe him??

I am dying at the image of Emily of all people using the word "hood-rat." rotfl

If she seriously said that (even if they don't air the whole thing) I will love her forever. It also makes me suspect that she would not have as hard a time getting along with Jef's friends as people think.

She wanted Jef to get violent on Kalon? Because that sure solves things... I have a hard time believing that. And I believe Love's source, so the last part about Arie is irrelevant to me.

LOL! Ain't that the truth.

One thing I remembered that seems spoilerrific though I don't actually know if it's accurate.

The US Weekly article claims Emily was pissed off when she found out Arie had dated a B'ette producer (obviously Cassie but she's not named) in 2003. The article claims Emily stopped speaking to Cassie for a while despite Cassie having been her confidante. The article also claims Emily cut Arie immediately when she found out.

I doubt he was there because he had a 1 on 1 the next day. Unless I'm missing something here I believe Arie was the one on the hot seat not Jef.
