Juan Pablo: The Worst Bachelor To Ever Hit Television

Understandably, reality television isn't always "reality", but there comes a point where even the people on the show need to take a stand against the absolutely ridiculous actions that take place on camera every week. In the case of "The Bachelor", Andi Dorfman decided that it was her time to rise up against the big commercial network, and additionally, the heavily accented bachelor Juan Pablo. When there's no spark, there's no spark, and not all the money (or airtime, for that matter) could convince this girl otherwise.

For weeks now, audiences have cringed as Juan Pablo (or if we're saving time and letters, let's just call him JP), makes himself look increasingly more and more unappealing. He has come out as homophobic, and in an earlier episode, slut-shamed a girl who he coerced into having intercourse with out in the ocean. On top of that, he struggles with a language barrier, and prides himself on the longest sentence he has mastered in the English language, "It's okay." But it's not okay. Because no girl wants to get married to the guy who spends hours talking about himself, and then when she points this out, responds, "It's okay." No, JP, just no.

Andi Dorfman defied Bachelor history when she was the first one to end the relationship. Before JP even had a chance to open his perfectly shaped mouth to tell Andi that things were no longer okay between them, Andi announced that she had felt no spark with JP, and she knew that he wasn't the one. Call it female intuition, but something tells me that this gorgeous gal can do better than a washed up has-been soccer star. As this season continues to be one of the most boring and unfortunate in Bachelor history, JP continues to be equally as such. Better luck next time, ABC.

Lewinsky Flashback

History always has a way of repeating itself, and you better believe that if it's raunchy and dramatic enough, Miley Cyrus is sure to get herself involved. In order to level the playing field, Cyrus makes sure that even political figures aren't exempt from her tasteless mockery. This time, it was Bill Clinton and his sexual actions while in the oval office that were targeted.

Usually, people attend Cyrus's concerts and expect to see something racy and different. However, this pushed the boundaries of what certain die-hard Miley fans were anticipating. The singer, scantily clad as always, had a Clinton look-alike onstage while she imitated the act of oral sex. Cyrus defends her actions, calling them both "educational" and "artistic". She argues that in small towns, certain big events are covered up, and as a role model, she is there to inform the public.

Singing along to the tune of her smash hit, "Party in the USA", Cyrus demonstrates what happened during the infamous affair of Clinton and Lewinski. Ever the performer, Cyrus continues to keep up a facade to the general public of a wild girl who continues to make questionable choices. At some point, her fans may stop to wonder: is this really the new Miley? Or is it all one big show?

Valentino PR Fail

As Valentino learned the hard way, there's a time and a place for everything. And as most of the intelligent, educated general public would understand, a wake isn't one of them.

At Philip Seymour Hoffman's wake, while Amy Adams was paying her respects to a lost friend, Valentino photographed the celebrity carrying the brand's bag. While many brands will take any opportunity to snap a pic of a famous celebrity rocking their apparel, Adams was not a paid spokesperson for Valentino. Allegedly, she was "appalled" by the choice to make her into a PR woman for the brand--especially considering the timing.

Valentino eventually brushed off the incident as a "simple mistake", but a mistake like that can definitely affect a huge company, especially when such sensitive matters as death are involved. It truly comes off as insensitive and sloppy when a company of immense popularity makes an error of epic proportions.

Miley is...Marilyn?

She can't stop, and she won't stop!

The former Disney Channel pop star Miley Cyrus continues to show as much skin as possible in a daring photo shoot with German Vogue. Although it's not nearly as jaw-dropping to see her this naked as it would have been 4 or 5 years ago, it's still incredibly interesting to see that Cyrus is targeting her inner, classy vixen for the entire world to see.

While Cyrus has never been shy about baring all, it used to be much more taboo for her than it actually is now. It's no surprise that after her big breakout with her Bangerz album and wild MTV awards show, people were scratching their heads at the new Miley Cyrus. But since all of the controversy over her new look and new 'tude started, Cyrus has really managed to capitalize on all of the attention.

With a secret slogan of "no publicity is bad publicity", the wild 21 year-old may be more business-inclined than anyone actually realizes. She has made the transition from teeny-bopper singer to sexual icon (not exactly unscathed), and that is why it holds such significance that she would want to emulate Marilyn Monroe. With the help of a highly paid PR team, "Hannah Montana" is no longer gracing the screens with cowboy hats and awkward romances. Now, the whole world gets to sit back and watch as the new and improved Miley Cyrus graces us with twerking, tongue-out photos and a whole lotta side boob.
