Who is Bachelorette Contestant Chris Drish?

Reality Steve is at it again, pulling together spoilers at record pace for the next season of The Bachelorette with Ashley Hebert. Scottsdale fans of the show cannot wait to see if Hebert finds love this time with her opportunity to make all of the decisions. Steve's sources indicate that Chris Drish is going to be one of the men vying for Ashley’s heart and roses. Who is Drish?

Chris is an account coordinator at Paragon Marketing Group in Chicago. Paragon focuses on the entertainment and sports marketing industry. Previously
Chris worked in sales and marketing at IMG and at the BMW Championship at Western Golf Association. Drish went to school at University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

It also appears that Drish was a starting right-handed pitcher for the Illini back in his college days. ABC will not be officially releasing the names and backgrounds of the bachelor’s competiting for Ashley’s heart for a while yet, so we will learn more about Chris and how he does on the show as the premiere comes closer.

Ashley H. is the new Bachelorette. But is she crazy enough?

Bachelorette 7 Media - No Discussion - Page 3 Bachelorettes-tell-all-ashley_320

ABC is continuing their reuse, renew, recycle strategy for the new season of The Bachelorette: Jimmy Kimmel announced tonight that Ashley H. will be the next Bachelorette when the series premieres on May 23. What do we know about Ashley H.? Let’s see… She’s a 26-year-old dental student from Madawaska, Maine; she’s got a brand new head of hair extensions; and she is not the other Ashley from Brad’s season, in case you were wondering. I won’t lie to you, rose lovers — I’m disappointed that Brad’s main dumpee Chantal didn’t wind up with the gig. She’s an emotional train wreck and therefore a natural reality TV star. Sure, Ashley H. gets defensive and shuts down emotionally when feeling vulnerable or challenged, but she’s far from being the mayor of Crazytown. I’m sure we’ll hear lots and lots about how Ashley H. destroyed her chance at happiness with Brad because of her “intimacy” “issues” — and her completely destructive desire to have a career — but it simply can’t measure up to my mental picture of a weepy, moody, stress-eating Chantal drunkenly threatening to jump off the roof of Casa Bachelorette when she learns one of her suitors has a girlfriend back home. That said, I’ll still be watching Ashley H.’s “journey.” In fact, they could make the gross skank who took off her thong at the cocktail party the Bachelorette and I’d still watch. (Actually, maybe that’s not such a bad idea…) Anyhow, are you pleased with the decision, rose lovers?

Pick Him! Pick Him!

March 28, 2011

Filming on ABC's "The Bachelorette" just started and we have the inside scoop on one of the hot guys who could end up with the show's leading lady, Ashley Hebert. That's because he was a 2010 Cosmo Bachelor!

We chose Ryan "Mickey" McLean, a 30-year old chef, as our Ohio bachelor last year and he beat out all of the other guys to win the title of Bachelor of the Year. You may have read some scoop on Mickey from our friends over at HollywoodLife.com, but we have even more.

For the first time ever, we're sharing details from our exclusive interview with Mickey, in which he reveals everything from what he really thinks of sex on a first date to the best compliment he's ever received. Oh yeah, and we also got him to spill the one surprising item of clothing he hates seeing women wear.

Read on for the inside info on this Bachelorette contestant. Then be sure to nominate a guy for this year's batch!

What he thinks of sex on a first date: "Skanky."

The wildest place he's ever had sex: "On the green of a golf course where I played the next day."

The best compliment he's ever received: "You look like your mother."

His worst habit: "Right now my worst habit is not making time to pursue a relationship because I work so much. And when I have time off, I spend that time off doing things...on my own. I’m not getting any younger!"

The one thing he can't live without: "My kitchen."

The one female fashion item he can't stand: "Tights! Gotta go, not into it."

The worst thing a woman can do on a first date: "Light up a cigarette."

What the Bachelorette definitely needs to know about him: "I’m not at all a jealous person and [jealousy is] something that’s not acceptable to me. And I have no place for any kind of dishonesty or cheating because I’m as honest as they get."

If you know a cute, single guy, he could be the next Cosmo Bachelor of the Year (and maybe even a contestant on "The Bachelorette", like Mickey. Nominate him here!

Did Bachelorette Ashley Hebert Have a Plastic Surgery Makeover?

When a Makemeheal.com reader wondered if the upcoming Bachelorette Ashley Hebert had had a plastic surgery makeover, Make Me Heal decided to investigate.

26-year old Maine native Ashley Hebert may not have won the Bachelor’s heart, but it looks like she’ll have a second chance at love. The runner-up is set to be the next Bachelorette when the next season starts in May.

Sometime between dental school and reality show, Ashley looks to have undergone a nose jobto get ready for primetime television. Ashley look like she may have had a minor rhinoplasty, to narrow her bridge and look better on camera.

Dr. Paul S. Nassif,aFacial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Rhinoplasty Specialist inBeverly Hills, California says, “It is possible Ashley Hebert had a rhinoplasty performed at one point, as her bridge appears slightly narrow. She is still young, and does not appear to have had any other work performed. ”

In order to draw attention away from her possible nose job, our reader suspects that the lady looking to get lucky in love may have dyed and cut her hair, which is a definite possibility.

Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Michael Salzhauer says,“It does appear that Ashley Hebert has had her nose done at some point.

Her nose is very straight and she has a very defined profile. Using anew hair-do to distract from a recent facial cosmetic surgery is a tactic often used amongst patients.”

“I feel like this season taught me so much about myself,” Ashley tells PEOPLE. “It primed me for a new relationship. I’m ready to meet 25new guys. Bring ‘em on! I’m open hearted and interested in meeting the guys,” Hebert says, “and hopefully fall in love.”The Bachelorette, with Ashley, will premiere May 23 on ABC.

New Orleans lawyer to vie for the attention of 'The Bachelorette'

One of the slew of young eligibles to be vying for the attention of Ashley Hebert on the upcoming season of ABC's “The Bachelorette” is a New Orleanian, lawyer Ben Castoriano.

Several websites have reported it, see below.
Though ABC hasn’t yet announced the field, Castoriano’s participation has been confirmed by a local source with knowledge of the situation.

You ask: An anonymous source for such a lightweight blog post?
I answer: Sadly, yes. This is what I’ve come to.

Originally from Maine and now a Philadelphia dentistry student and dance instructor, Hebert was a rejected contestant on the recently completed season of “The Bachelor.”

The season, shooting now, launches May 23 on WGNO-TV.

A roundup of informed sources:
The site www.RealitySteve.com apparently broke the story, and has the lowdown on several other contestants. Of Castoriano, the site writes:
Ashley and Ben, sittin’ in a tree…” Ok, maybe it’s a little early for that, but I just thought I’d get the party started early on this one.

Ben Castoriano
The site www.AboveTheLaw.com follows up by mining the Internet and social media for pics, video and other details:
Ben’s résumé ... includes a JD from Tulane (2007), a “BSBA” from University of Richmond (2004), and native fluency in French.

Meanwhile, www.FansofRealityTV.com tracks spoilery production details. For example, one post there apparently recounts a sleuthing trip to the show's production mansion:
observed: 1. Guards at both gates, wearing striking new neon lime vests (certainly for the benefit of sleuthers and crew identification of the site). Nonplussed attitude evident even from a slight distance. Cesar and limo not visible. 2. Two (2) seemingly brand-new state-of-the-art port-a-potties, adjacent to frontage fence, at furthest possible location from mansion front door. Conclusion: lowly crew members have no access to the 9.0 bathrooms on site. 3. Large equipment boxes (lettering undecipherable at 40 MPH) outside garage area. 4. Blue portable shade cover, often used by food services. 5. Lack of high key light apparatus noted.

The Times-Picayune also reported on this story, confirming Castoriano's participation through anonymous sources.

Castriano could not be reached for comment by the Record.

According to Frilot's Web site, Castoriano is an associate in the firm. His focuses are in contracts, intellectual property and railroad litigation.

Ashley Hebert Will Teach At Dance Camp After Filming ‘Bachelorette’!’ Exclusive!

Ashley’s big plan: find the man she loves on ‘The Bachelorette’ — and then bring him to Maine for the summer where she plans to teach dance camp in July!

ABC’s new Bachelorette Ashley Hebert has big plans this summer when she’s done filming the show. She’s already committed to teaching dance camp at The Maine Dance Academy in Caribou, Maine, in July, the academy’s owner Colleen Duplessie tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively!

“Ashley’s a camp favorite,” says Colleen, who previously taught at the school from 2002 to 2005, and again in 2009. “If I say she’s
teaching, everyone signs up!”

Ashley will be teaching hip hop and contemporary classes. “Her specialty is contemporary lyrical,” Colleen tells us. “She’s a very talented, emotional dancer. The only thing she can’t do is tap.”

The camp will be one week long, and will take place the third or fourth week of July depending on Ashley’s schedule. (Colleen is still waiting on Ashley’s availability.) It’s a day-long schedule. “Parents drop the kids off at 9ish and pick them up at five-ish,” Colleen says. 100 kids are expected to enroll.

So why would a student want to learn from Ashley, especially when Colleen says that “it’s hard for the kids to keep up with her?” Ashley
knows how to motivate! “To be a teacher you have to love dancing and kids,” explains Colleen, who has owned her business for 17 years. “Ashley’s excitable — has a lot of energy. She makes it fun. You can hear her down the hallway when she’s teaching.”

Plus, “she’s an amazing choreographer with good ideas,” adds Colleen. “And she can bring it down to the kids.”

So how do you enroll your own children into Ashley’s dance camp? Visit The Maine Dance Academy’s website in May!

A lot of what happened between Brad and me brought out some weird side of me that doesn't define who I am," Ashley told People magazine.

Now that she’ll be starting a new “journey” to love on May 23, what exactly is the 26-year-old dental student looking for in a man? Someone who "makes me feel comfortable, somebody with a positive outlook on life who's going to be supportive and loyal." So does that mean someone with a Boston accent and tattoos isn’t a priority?

Ash also dished some goodies about herself, some of which we already touched on in our 15 Things You Didn't Know About Ashley Hebert (because we’re besties like that). But here are a couple of interesting new nuggets:

- She's from Maine, but she's not into seafood. "I can't eat it — shrimp, lobster, nothing. I can't get past the smell and the texture."

- She is a single mom... to a doggie. "When I got home from last season, I adopted a puppy, a teacup Yorkie, and her name is Boo. She's the love of my life — right now." Cute!

‘Bachelorette’ Ashley Hebert’s Men Are The ‘Sexiest STD-Free Pool On Earth!’ Exclusive!

Former ‘Bachelorette’ winner Jesse Csincsak tells HollywoodLife.com that Ashley doesn’t have to worry — her men got tested before meeting her!

Ashley Hebert could get her heart broken on The Bachelorette, but at least she can be assured her suitors are free of sexually transmitted diseases! In fact, it’s common procedure for ABC to rigorously test the contestants before they can participate on the show.

“It’s the sexiest STD-free dating pool on Earth,” Jesse Csincsak tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “They make you pee in a cup and draw blood. If you have virus, you’re not going on the show.”

According to ABC, this testing is common procedure. If an individual becomes a top-50 finalist, he or she faces multiple rounds of producer interviews, STD screenings and an 800-question psych evaluation.

“It can be a somewhat emotionally taxing, people don’t realize how fast emotions get involved,” says Dr. Catherine Selden, who does the potential contestants’ psychological evaluations. “We want to make sure that people are going to be OK with coping with the stress involved, and make sure that they are going to be offered the help that they need if it’s the case.”

For Ashley, this means that the men currently courting her as she films the new season of The Bachelorette are all clean! So if she gets intimate with any of them, she shouldn’t have to worry.

And Jesse informs us of one other stipulation — Bachelor/Bachelorette contestants have to be drug-free as well! “If you are on drugs, they tell you stop doing drugs, then they will retest you in a week,” he says.

If the participant fails to come back clean, then it’s sayonara!

BFFs — how do you feel about ABC’s practice of STD-testing Bachelor/Bachelorette contestants?

"The Bachelorette" 2011 early behind-the-scenes news
E! News had an inside peek of "The Bachelorette" 2011 filming. As you "Bachelorette" fans know, Ashley Herbert is the woman looking for love in season 7. She was one of three finalists Brad Womack had on "The Bachelor." When he pressed her for plans she had for a future with him, she shut down. He knew she wanted to finish dental school and saw little room for him in her life. Now Ashley is "The Bachelorette," which begins May 23rd.

Ashley was on a one-on-one with contestant, Ben Castoriano. He claims not to be a professional dancer, but he and Ashley had fun dancing with a large crowd of people on E! as they were filming. They didn't say where taped the footage, but Reality Steve has blogged that the cast and crew are paying Las Vegas yet another visit. Vegas has been getting a lot of business from Mike Fleiss and ABC.

It sounds like this particular Ben will be called "Ben C." on "The Bachelorette." He's another good-looking guy, by the way. How many contestants will have the same name again this year? That's another trend happening on the reality romance series. So many contestants have the same name, that the first initial of their last name has to be used all the time all season long! What a pain that must be to say Ben A. or Ben B. or Ben C. Every single time Brad called a name to hand a rose to someone, he had to use the initial of their last name. It's kind of awkward and hilarious at the same time. Not exactly "natural." Nothing about this show is "natural."

As for Ashley Herbert finding love on "The Bachelorette," she believes in the process. She told E! News that she obviously believes in the show's process or she wouldn't be doing it. Makes you wonder what statistics she's looking at!
