Re: Ashley and J.P - General Media Discussion - Thread #4

Quelle surprise! I wonder if the "friend" in question was one of JP's friends who was totally insulted by the suggestion that Mickey, William, Ames, and Craig (Craig!) would be his groomsmen? :laughingoutlou Still marveling over that bit of stupidity.

I thought maybe the friend (saying story was false) was Ash S? It seems like she'd know the most of anyone.

I bet it was 'Lance Corning' that was the person that 'All' Wet Paint spoke to. Not sure who the heck Lance Corning is, but that's my guess.

Here are some of In Touch’s other details, via HL:
• JP’s groomsmen may include Ashley’s Bachelorette exes William Holman (guess she’s over the comedy roast!), Ryan “Mickey” McLean (who walked out on Ashley in frustration over the Bentley Williams situation) and Ames Brown — plus Bachelorette Season 6 suitor Craig Robinson, who is now dating Ames’ Bachelor Pad ex, Jackie Gordon. (Awkward alert!)
• Ashley hopes to have an outdoor ceremony, possibly in the Hamptons.
• Ashley is a dancer herself but she wants to take dancing lessons with JP so they can have a memorable first dance.
• They want to honeymoon somewhere tropical. “One of those huts on stilts in the water,” Ashley says.
• They are writing their own vows and Ashley has already started hers. “What bonds us together is the crazy experience we went through. You’re my everything. You look after me, you’re my best friend.”
• They may televise the wedding.

Not that it matters any more, I still think Mickey just left because he was bored of the whole show. Bentley was hardly on his mind... ha ha!

Chris Harrison is obviously rubbing his hands together in anticipation...

"you see Ashley [Hebert] and JP [Rosenbaum] loving and living their life in New York, and they seem to be close to getting married, so we hope for them."

He is so eager! Or shall I say... "we" (Harrison, Fleiss & company) "hope for them" to hurry it up...

Although this is a Jordash thread, I do need to bring up Ben here...

"Fans will absolutely love this season. I've very happy this is our tenth anniversary and I'm glad that we have a homerun to bring to the table.

"It is very good and it will definitely live up to the Bachelor name. Ben was great. Obviously, it really helps to have a great Bachelor, but the women are dynamic and fantastic and catty and emotional. At the same time, it's this great evolution of a man."

Speaking of "evolution"...

http://www.pbpulse.com/tv/reality-tv/2011/12/20/bachelor-host-chris-harrison-im-a-shoulder-to-cry-on/

"Ben and I — and you’ll see this in the show — it’s much more organic. Our deliberations became very casual and we did them actually before the cocktail parties even started. That’s just the kind of relationship we had. It was really like going through this with a friend and feeling their pain and pushing them in the right direction and trying to help them if I feel like they’re about to make a huge mistake. Kind of like what I learned with Ashley: I try to help these people save themselves from any grave errors, but at the same time, you have to let them live their life and make some mistakes."

I am so confused with the mixed signals I'm getting from Harrison: is Ben's season the one knocking the ball out of the park? Regardless, why do I keep thinking that Chris is banking on an earlier Rosenbaum marriage (springtime or summer) to make up for anything that might go wrong with Ben's season? It is starting to appear that Ben DID pick somebody, but there is still some sort of "problem"...

Oh well, I guess I'm reading too much into this.

Maybe we'll end up seeing another article like this one, as some point in the season: Chris Harrison: The Bachelor Winner Will "Shock" Fans, But "Jake Is Happy." BTW, I'd forgotten that Chris basically gave away the ending of that season so early; but when there's that much drama and such an unlikeable F1, I think people still stick around to see how and why the lead chose the way he/she did.

Anyway Chris sure hasn't been shy about mentioning the words "Ashley," "JP," and "wedding" in the same sentence, has he? I think he probably does know something, but since I don't trust anything he says, I'm glad there are lots of other clues that hint in that direction. After the wedding happens, maybe I'll believe what Chris has to say about it. :laughingoutlou

Awwwwwwwwwww! Such memories... First the bromance of Chris and Jake. Now, the bromance of Chris and Ben.

Loved this comment prepping the public of a Vienna as final one:

"As far as everyone's opinion," Chris says when asked about the winner, "I will steal a line from Jake. He has said, 'I will shock people, I will disappoint people,' but he did what he feels was right, and I totally support him. Good for him."

Chris also says she's not quite as evil as she may appear. "I think Vienna has a bit of a bad rep," he explains. "I think she was put behind the 8 ball in the beginning, because when you are one on the front-runners early on, there is a target put on your back. So, there is competitiveness, there is jealousy from the other girls. But in the other girls' defense, I don't think Vienna went out of her way to fix that problem. She even stoked the flame a couple times. And so by the time she tried to apologize and make things better, that ship had sailed and it was just too late."

"I don't think Vienna is the devil that she's made out to be," Chris says. "I'm not going to completely absolve her, but I think the real Vienna, I think there's a mix. I think I would go somewhere between the Vienna we saw in the house and then the very warm, touching, vulnerable Vienna that we saw in her hometown."

A year later, Chris was pointing to the door on Bachelor Pad 2 when Vienna got sassy with him. He only supported her as long as she was his bro-buddy's gal, but when she moved on... uh hmmm...

Well, that gave me a big hearty laugh. Back to the regularly scheduled program of "How Soon Will Fleiss & Harrison Push Ashley To The Altar?"

They are in Madawaska now (Portland yesterday and last night) ~ and Ashley got her wish for snow.
This tweet from JP is so dang cute. Seems like he's loving Christmas!

Ashley Hebert & J.P. Rosenbaum Learn About Each Other's Traditions This Holiday Season
By Monica Rizzo

Six months after getting engaged on The Bachelorette season finale last August, lovebirds Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum are spending their first holiday season together learning about each other's family traditions.

Rosenbaum is Jewish and celebrates Hanukkuh, while Hebert's family celebrates Christmas.

"All of my friends in dental school are Jewish and they celebrated Hanukkuh, but I never did," Hebert says. "I love it."

"We have been celebrating the first few nights of Hanukkuh. We lit some candles," Rosenbaum tells PEOPLE, joking that he has also introduced her to the "Jewish tradition of having Chinese food." Says Rosenbaum: "We did a pre-Hanukkuh dim sum down in Chinatown with my parents."

The two are also celebrating Hebert's completion of dental school earlier this week at the University of Pennsylvania.

"The first thing I said to her when she got home was, 'Hey Doctor,' " Rosenbaum says, adding that his new fiancée's title "is definitely a turn on."

The two plan to spend the Christmas holiday weekend with Hebert's family in Madawaska, Maine, where Hebert says she will "wear PJs, sit on the couch, cuddle with J.P., eat lots of junk and sing Christmas carols."

Thanks for posting this, michie! JP's quote about the Chinese food cracked me up. Also have to love a guy who gets turned on by a smart woman! :Nod:

When Love_Me posted about this new magazine, I thought I saw Ashley & JP. Too freaking funny...it is them!

Wish I'd had a magnifying glass, instead of straining my eyes so much to see them, LOL. I'm surprised no one's though to have an entire magazine dedicated to reality shows before now.

Here is a better pic and Jillian has an interview with the mag about decorating.

Thanks, atem! I actually don't think I've ever seen that pic before.

@music_lover3
@GrahamBunn @jp_rosenbaum sounds fun guys! JP, you're pretty good at rollerskating too! Graham, I'm a big fan, you should've won the bachpad

@GrahamBunn
@music_lover3 @jp_rosenbaum j is the man and just a good dude and thanks on bp2 I did my best

Contrary to what In Touch Weekly says, I think Graham has a better chance of being in the wedding than anyone from Ashley's season.
