Tierra LiCausi engagement details and Top 10 Quotes from The Bachelor: Women Tell All

ByHannah Rose

On last night’s special episode of The Bachelor: Women Tell All, the first part of the show was dominated by one of the biggest (and most controversial) personalities to ever appear on the show: Tierra LiCausi.

MUG SHOT Kasey Kahl arrested for felony assault and public intoxication

ByAsa Hawks

Full-time D-list reality star Kasey Kahl became a bit of an internet sensation after an arrest for assault in January when his smiling mug shot photo was dubbed “The Prettiest Mug Shot Ever.” At the time Kasey maintained his innocence in the scuffle, but after assembling evidence it appears that the police disagree. Kasey was arrested again for the incident earlier today and charged with 2 counts of felony assault, 1 count of battery with serious bodily injury and 1 count of public intoxication (allegedly “while under the influence of a paint thinner”). His most recent mug shot won’t be taking home any “Prettiest” awards.

VIDEO The Bachelor’s Blakeley Shea gives a tour of Re:Public club where she works

ByAsa Hawks

The Bachelor Ben Flajnik continues to whittle down his courters as the number of eligible bachelorettes is now down to 15. One of those remaining is model and VIP waitress Blakeley Shea Jones, who pulled no punches in episode two when she aggressively cornered Ben in the swimming pool for a steamy make-out session, much to the dismay of the other gals (as you might imagine).

But, guided tongue tours of the back of her mouth aren’t the only tours Blakeley is good at! Check out this video from the Re:Public night club in Charlotte, North Carolina where Blakeley works.
