I loved Lorenzo's sense of humor in the interview... too bad those chicks talked so much, he didn't have much of a chance to get a word in!! That is always so annoying to me when the hosts (or hostesses) of a talk show try to one up or monopolize the interviews.

| This is a funny article about our favorite Socialite... she is so over the top funny and totally clueless!  this is my favorite...  Quote:
Bachelor's Rose takes thorny image in stride Houston socialite says it's OK if viewers don't get her — or her tiara By MIKE MCDANIEL Copyright 2006 Houston Chronicle Young Houston socialite Erica Rose, one of nine women vying for the hand of a handsome prince on ABC's reality series The Bachelor, has become the woman that viewers love to hate. That has to hurt. Not so much, Rose said. "I've only had a positive experience on the show. Some people have had negative reactions to me, but that's their own problem," she said. "That's just people being weird, and I can't control that. I never have been one who cares what other people think. I care what my parents think." After two episodes, talk shows and Web sites have chided the 23-year-old daughter of plastic surgeon Franklin Rose and wife Cindi for a snobby attitude and mannered ways, for wearing a tiara and for asking her fellow contestants to clean her room on the show, which airs at 8 p.m. Mondays on Channel 13. Last week, Rose reached pop-culture nirvana when Regis & Kelly co-host Kelly Ripa went on a tear about the "trash-tastic" series and its most controversial contestant. As Regis Philbin and a studio audience laughed, Ripa used a drawl and a tightened face to mimic Rose, calling her out for bad-mouthing contestant Jami Matske of Galveston because she has a tattoo and no college education. (Ripa, too, has a tattoo and no college degree.) "I wouldn't want to be a normal, average girl," Rose, an Emory grad, said in her own defense. "Being normal and average is, like, really, really boring. I've never been that way. I've always stood out." Rose says she did not see, but is aware of, the Regis episode. "In Ripa's case, I would give her an exception," she said. "She landed a soap opera, and that inhibited her from finishing college. The girls on the show could have gone to college but chose not to." At the popular entertainment blogging site TMZ.com, Rose is identified as the favorite Bachelor contestant. But in the same breath, she's called "the ditz princess." At other blog spots across the Internet, she's been called "clueless," "trashy," an "incredibly shallow, poor thing," a "nut job" and worse. "I have really thick skin," Rose said. "It's offensive, but I don't get offended." Support from friends Nicole Fertitta, who has known Rose for seven years, says the show offers a distorted view of her friend. Another friend, Stacy Soefer, said The Bachelor is going for entertainment value in its edit. "She's a very sweet girl, and they don't portray that on television," she said. "What people don't get is that TV is entertainment. A lot of what you see is over the top. Yes, Erica is privileged, but she's a smart girl and a hard worker. She's passionate, intelligent and a great friend." The Bachelor was shot in May in Rome, where bachelor Prince Lorenzo Borghese, a cosmetics heir, was born. During each pre-recorded episode, he offers roses to contestants who will move on to the next round. Fifteen were eliminated the first week and three in the second. Will Rose be eliminated tonight? She is under contract with ABC not to divulge any secrets. But here is what she has to say about what's happened on the show so far: •On wearing a tiara to her first meeting with Borghese: "I've always worn tiaras. I love going out wearing a tiara. It's like a part of my personality. It's like a watch to me." •On telling Borghese that she flew coach for the first time just to meet him: "I was really joking, and I giggled when I said it. I have an odd sense of humor. I've never flown coach to Europe or abroad. I have flown coach a few times around the country." •On whether she's offended at being compared to Paris Hilton: "Not at all. The difference between me and her, though, is I don't think she even finished high school. I'm not offended, but I wouldn't want to come across like I was wanting to be her because I'm not. We're both considered socialites and blonde, and that's where the similarities end." •On whether she says things without thinking: "All the time. I really was being myself. I wasn't trying to appeal to everyone. I wanted to be real, and I wanted Lorenzo to get to know me for who I really am. I am sort of a high-maintenance girl, and I have strong opinions and strong convictions about certain things, like tattoos and a college degree." •On whether Borghese appreciated that openness: "I don't think he necessarily liked that. He told me that he just wanted someone who was kind-hearted and fun. I was a little bit disappointed. I was hoping he would like someone who had a great college education or came from a similar background. But he didn't care about that." Was Rose smitten? "He's so handsome," she said. "He's even more handsome in person than on TV or in pictures. It's cool that he's a prince. Even though it's just a title and he isn't going to be a king one day, not many people have that title." Rose finds Borghese more appealing than previous bachelors on the reality show. "He's such a good dresser, and he was so nice," she said, "not a sleaze, like some bachelors have been, hooking up with adventuresome girls. "The more you were there, the more you fell in love." What's next for Rose? What's next for Rose? She's coming out with a line of tiaras, called T-Ericas. link

| And yet another story.. seems, our Prince... is either horny and can't be near his "Princess" and 'filling in with some princesses in waiting" or he's already dumped the crown jewel in search of better gems! PROWLING PRINCEOctober 16, 2006 --  ABC's newest "Bachelor," Prince Lorenzo Borghese, was doing some aggressive, off-camera babe hunting at the ASPCA's Young Friends Benefit honoring Maria Menounos. The rascally Romeo, who was there to hawk his new pet-care line, was "draping his arms around and flirting with women from the minute he arrived," said our appalled female spy. "Forget the dogs. Someone needs to put him on a leash." Among the beauties he chatted up were Alison Kelly of "Project Runway," Anna Anisimova and Hana Soupkova. link

|  I can't help it - I really love that girl. She is so up front and who she is and so opinionated that you have to enjoy her for pure enjoyment sake, as we will never know the young woman her friends describe. How often do you find someone who just says what they think, without being mean, but without worrying what other opinions are? She would get a bit tiring, I am sure, but so entertaining.

| This is just a reminder to all interested to watch the Insider today. Lorenzo has an interview in NYC with Lara Spencer. Unfortunately I forgot to set my tape and it comes on at 4:00pm in my area. I haven't found a link yet for the interview, but if anyone sees it, hopefully they can give us a report!

| Interesting - He is very careful to NOT discuss the seriousness of the relationship, whether there is a real realtionship, and obviously, there is no marriage/engagement in sight. Good. He always says lovely things about the girl he chose, but if they are just trying to see if there might be a real relationship/connection for the real reasons that's great!

| Randal, you old romantic. . . Quote:
LOL, I love it that he tries to make us think that this is actually a logical way to meet a quality girlfriend/ future wife. We're also all sure that he's ready to get married now, aren't we  Jelle, We know that everyone is there for the "right reasons". . . to provide entertainment for us on a Monday night. . . and we appreciate too. This is the most entertaining season. I'm very sad about losing Erica, hopefully Desiree will pick up the slack. | |

 I think he's dogging (no pun intended) those other broads to make us think his engagement to the future princess of the Borghese canine care empire is a fraud. I'm certain that after he sniffed around the leggy models, he came home and text messaged his fianceé expressions of his unending love, adoration and fidelity, before falling asleep (alone) in his satin-sheeted bed surrounded by stuffed animals and his boyhood blankey. What we don't know is what reaction the leggy models had to LoBo. Were his passions reciprocated? Or was he sent home with royal blue balls?
