The Bachelorette finale spoilers are coming out of the woodwork, if Bachelorette finale spoilers can even be believed. The Bachelorette finale spoilers are being leaked throughout the Internet, leaving aside whether these Bachelorette finale spoilers are real or not. However, The Bachelorette finale is still two weeks away, so people have a lot of time to dissect these supposed finale spoilers. With The Bachelorette finale set up last night, the spoilers will be off and running for the next two weeks.

In the next-to-last Bachelorette episode last night, Bachelorette Jillian Harris voted off Reid Rosenthal from the final three, leaving just two competitors left for the big finale. Kiptyn Locke and Ed Swiderski will be the finalists competing for The Bachelorette’s heart one last time.

However, next week ABC is just showing a Bachelorette special, dragging out the finale to another week. But by the time The Bachelorette finale airs in two weeks, fans may have already found out the end, if the finale spoilers are to be believed.

According to several spoiler reports, it is alleged that Ed Swiderski will win The Bachelorette and take Jillian’s heart. But as for Kiptyn Locke, he will win as well – by becoming the next Bachelor when that series returns to ABC.

Even Reid Rosenthal is not gone for good, as he is rumored to be the “shocking twist” in the Bachelorette finale. According to reports, Rosenthal will return to confess his love for Jillian Harris, only to get shot down.

The finale of The Bachelor shocked many, at least those who did not read finale spoilers. Jason Mesnick set tongues wagging when he revised his pick in the final ceremony, choosing runner up Molly Malaney over winner Melissa Rycroft. The Bachelorette finale spoilers do not indicate that such a reversal will be made this time, and Jillian Harris’s choice will be final.

Al Roker had a sit down interview with “Speidi” (Spencer and Heidi Pratt) from “I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Outta Here!”

They spoke about their time in the jungle and their attitudes on the show. Roker tried to get straight answers and had to work to get them fromt the arrogant couple.

They should a reel of all of Spencer’s arrogance and anger and Heidi’s conceitedness. Spencer said he wanted a copy because he thought it was great. You could sense the disdain from Al Roker over the couple’s behavior in life and on reality t.v.

Here it the video of the couple on the Today Show:

Everyone knows that Artie Lange can be obnoxious, but he took it to a whole new level on the Joe Buck Show recently. He basically hogged the first episode of Buck’s show all to himself.

As a audience member, Michael Irvin had this to say:

“It’s just refreshing to see white-on-white crime,” the retired pro-Bowl receiver said from the audience where he was stationed with a mike, probably glad he was not involved in the train wreck that was occurring onstage.

Artie Lange gained his so called “fame” from MAD TV and being a regular on the Howard Stern Show. He even stole the show from the “guest of the night,” Brett Favre.

Lange spit out homophobic remarks at Buck and Tony Romo, called Jessica Simpson a “fat chick” who looks like Chris Farley.

To add insult to injury, when asked by Buck to remove his feet from the coffee table. Artie replied, “I’m trying to get comfortable. Somebody should look natural on this show.”

Lange and his manners definitely drew focus away from Favre talking about his shoulder injury and discussion with the Vikings of a possible return.

After Lange held a cigarette in his chin, no hands – a supposed demonstration of healthy smoking that garnered almost no laughs – Buck quipped, “I think it’s in chin number four.”

Lange replied, “Number 4, the show you won’t get to.”

There was no laughter in the audience.

Actor Paul Rudd and SNL comedian Jason Sudeikis took over and tried to keep the show on an even keel after all the damage had been done by Lange.

Only time will tell whether this will help launch the “Joe Buck Show” or whether ratings will plummet.

Joe Buck is know for doing play-by-play for the Fox Sports Network.

T.V. actor Christopher Gorham will likely be an upcoming star in both television and movies. This 34 year old actor looks a lot younger than his age yet still has the skills of a more accomplished actor.

If you are unsure to whom I am referring to, Gorham plays the male lead role of Henry Dunn in Harper’s Island. Without spoiling the plot of the show, I will say that he is one of the best actors on the show. He is intriguing and real, his reactions to horrific scenes are candid and not cheesey. Gorham has a range of emotions and viewers who watch him feel like they can relate to him.

Christopher can play the compassionate boyfriend in Harper’s Island or an mild mannered accountant who catches Betty’s eye on the popular T.V. show Ugly Betty.

It was shocking that I had never heard of Christopher Gorham before the season of Harper’s Island. He does and outstanding job and should be able to find lots of work in Hollywood now that he has been on two successful shows.

He was also in Out of Practice and Jake 2.0 (as the main character). Evidently Jake 2.0 only lasted one season, but Gorham didn’t give up on his acting career due to one failed show and look where it got him.

Now he is gaining popularity and is acting in his first movie My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend. He is rumored to play a big role as Ethan (one of the main characters) alongside Alyssa Milano. The film sounds like a romantic comedy and could be just the thing to really launch Gorham into the Hollywood spotlight.

We are interested to see the rest of Harper’s Island and hope Gorham doesn’t get killed off. We also wish him the best in all his endeavors in his future movie career.

Outrage due to the latest joke by Letterman has led to the creation of FireDavidLetterman.com.

This site is for leading a boycott against companies that advertise during the Letterman ad spots on CBS.

They get people to subscribe to their list which states “you are adding your name to a letter
that will be sent to CBS and all sponsors of David Letterman’s Late Night Show stating that you will not purchase any product sold by a sponsor of his program until CBS fires him!”

The site also has ideas on how to tweet (use twitter) to help gain more support for the cause.

FireDavidLetterman.com insists that Letterman promoted “statutory rape” of a 14-year-old with a baseball player with and likened her to “a prostitute” with his demeaning jokes.

They have a list of all the companies that sponsor Letterman’s show on CBS. They also have a pre-written letter if you want to send one to CBS.

We reported on Letterman’s so-called “joke” a little while back, here is the details of what Letterman said.

Everyone wants to know what did David Letterman say about Bristol Palin?

Well apparently there was a miscommunication when Letterman didn’t specify which Palin daughter he was talking about. Todd and Sarah Palin both assumed he meant their youngest daughter Willow who is 14 years-old while Letterman says he was talking about their 19 year-old Bristol. However, Palin brought both daughters to the Yankees game that day.

Earlier this week, Letterman made a joke about Palin and her daughter attending a New York Yankees game, saying: “During the seventh inning, her daughter was knocked up by Alex Rodriguez.” This prompted a heated response from Palin’s husband Todd, who said in a statement: “Any ‘jokes’ about raping my 14-year-old are despicable. Alaskans know it and I believe the rest of the world knows it, too.”

Sarah Palin said it was “disgusting” that a “62-year-old celebrity” would promote “perverted speech” about her 14-year-old daughter.

Letterman responded to the accusations by saying: “These are not jokes made about her 14-year-old daughter. I would never, never make jokes about raping or having sex of any description with a 14-year-old girl. I mean, look at my record. It has never happened. I don’t think it’s funny. I would never think it was funny. I wouldn’t put it in a joke.”

While what Letterman said on his show in a response showed sincerity, there was no direct apology, only an offer for Sarah Palin to come on his show to talk face-to-face (a.k.a. publicity and ratings for the show).

The Palin family responded, “The Palins have no intention of providing a ratings boost for David Letterman by appearing on his show. Plus, it would be wise to keep [14 year old] Willow away from David Letterman.”

Here is the joke from his show:

Update: June 16th

Letterman has now publicly apologized for his untasteful joke saying,“I would like to apologize, especially to the two daughters involved, Bristol and Willow, and also to the governor and her family and everybody else who was outraged by the joke. I’m sorry about it and I’ll try to do better in the future,” Letterman told the studio audience.

He also explains what had occurred with the misunderstanding.

“I had no idea she (Willow) was there. So she’s now at the ball game and people think that I made the joke about her. And, but still, I’m wondering, ‘Well, what can I do to help people understand that I would never make a joke like this?’ I’ve never made jokes like this as long as we’ve been on the air, 30 long years, and you can’t really be doing jokes like that. And I understand, of course, why people are upset. I would be upset myself.”

Sarah Palin accepted the apology.
