The Bachelor

They're single. They're famous. They're rich.

And now, Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott are getting an unofficial invitation to be the next stars of "The Bachelor" ... courtesy of the show's host, Chris Harrison.

Chris Harrison got a second dose of reality when it comes to Nick Viall, and shocker -- people actually dig the next 'Bachelor.'

Chris was out in Hollywood canvassing the streets to see what fans think about Nick. You might recall he got mixed reviews -- to put it kindly -- when he was announced as the guy for season 21.

'Bachelor' vet AshLee Frazier couldn't get it on a reality show, but she finally got a marriage proposal ... on the Brooklyn Bridge.

We're told the proposal went down Saturday right in the middle of a bunch of tourists who were checking out the bridge. The lucky guy is Aaron Williams, a Houston real estate developer AshLee's known for years. She moved back to H-town earlier this year, and they hit it off romantically.

We're told Aaron sealed the deal with an oval cut 3 ct. diamond, and dinner at hot spot Scarpetta.

Sean Lowe, the 'Bachelor' from AshLee's season, is still married to Catherine Giudici.

Sooo ... win-win?

'Bachelor' couple Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell finally took in their first post-show vacay, but even downtime for them requires cameras.

Scene: Gansevoort Turks + Caicos for 10 days at a $845 a night oceanfront suite.

Action: They spent the week snorkeling, taking dips in the infinity pool and getting rubbed.

Fans hoping for an "UnREAL" and 'Bachelor' crossover just might get it ... according to the scripted drama's star, Constance Zimmer.

Constance plays the ruthless producer of a reality TV dating competition on "UnREAL" -- the comparisons to "The Bachelor" are pretty obvious, but she denies getting any inspiration from it.

Still, she's open to crossing the streams, and so is master of the rose ceremony, Chris Harrison.

Sounds like all that's left is to get some agents on the phone.

Nick Viall's got puppy love written all over his face, arm in arm with a cutie brunette ... and TMZ has the video.

The 'Bachelor' was spotted in his hometown of Waukesha, WI where he was presumably on a hometown date ... meaning the chick on his arm reached at least one of the final stages on season 21 of "The Bachelor."

Check out the vid ... Nick and the brunette get handsy as they make their way to Rochester Deli where they scarfed down a couple sandwiches, coleslaw and cookies.

Gotta love a girl who can eat!

Get ready to judge Nick Viall's skills as the new 'Bachelor' -- we got the first photos and videos of him on a one-on-one date, and it looks like he just might avoid becoming a 4 time loser.

We got Nick in action with a blonde named Danielle. He's shooting the 21st season of the show right now, and this date went down Monday night in an entertainment area called Balboa Fun Zone in Newport Beach, CA.

The couple made a flashy arrival by boat with their names in lights. After that low-key entrance they rode a Ferris wheel, then sat down for a candlelit dinner. To make things really romantic, production hired 3 off-duty cops -- for about $1,500 -- to keep away curious fans.

Unclear if Danielle scored a rose or if Nick simply scored ... but dude needs a slump buster. He already struck out twice on "The Bachelorette" and once on "Bachelor in Paradise."

'Bachelor' alum Samantha Steffen is used to the sand after a stint on "Bachelor in Paradise."

Juan Pablo -- arguably a more controversial/hated 'Bachelor' than Chad Johnson -- found love for real ... on Instagram.

JP tells TMZ he's in a relationship with Osmariel Villalobos, a Venezuelan TV show host and former beauty contestant. He says they've been dating for 3 months after sliding in each other's DMs.

Love's been a sore subject for JP ... you'll recall he picked Nikki in season 18 of "The Bachelor" but REFUSED to say he loved her in the finale. Didn't take long for the relationship to fizzle.

He digs she's a Leo ... and is stoked Osmariel gets along great with his 7-year-old daughter, Camila.

"Bachelor in Paradise" star Lace Morris is literally handing out clues about her relationship with co-star Grant Kemp.

We caught Lace showing off a "Grace" tattoo Monday night at LAX. The tattoo's reportedly a combination of Grant and Lace. TMZ broke the story ... Grant and Lace end up engaged on 'BiP.'

And clearly they're not hiding it.

JoJo Fletcher can't fix Jordan Rodgers' relationship with his famous brother, yet ... so an eskimo brother will have to do for now.

JoJo and Jordan double dated with 'Bachelor' winner Ben Higgins and Lauren Bushnell Thursday at Katsuya in Hollywood. It screams super weird since Ben hooked up with JoJo before dumping her on last season's 'Bachelor' finale.

No qualms though ... if you believe what Ben tells our photog.

"Bachelor in Paradise" stars Lace Morris and Grant Kemp totally got busted hanging out together 2 days before the show premiered -- a major violation -- but there's a good reason: THEY'RE GETTING MARRIED!

Oh ... spoiler alert.

Grant and Lace were poolside Sunday at a fancy apartment complex in Denver. Witnesses tell us they were flirty, and all over each other. We're told Grant flew there to visit Lace, who lives nearby.

A source tells us Lace plans to move to L.A. to live with her firefighter fiance. All of this is great news for them, but a serious bummer for 'BiP' producers ... who expect the house guests to avoid all contact in public until after the season airs.

The teaser promo showed 3 male hands holding engagement rings -- and according to our sources ... Grant is one of 'em. ABC refused to comment.

Interesting outcome ... considering Lace hooked up with bad boy Chad Johnson in the premiere. So, she dodged "Hurricane Chad" and got nice guy Grant instead.

Congrats.

Becca Tilley might be a virgin ... but her body's screaming for attention.

The twice-booted contestant on "The Bachelor" showed off her bikini bod over the weekend in Miami.

Move over, Chris Soules ... there's a new bachelor in town. The good news ... he's not after your girl.

We've learned the Logo network is shooting a gay 'bachelor' show, and the prize is Robert Sepulveda Jr. He's an interior designer with Puerto Rican roots who now lives in ATL. In case you didn't notice, Robbie's in good shape.

Our production sources say 13 male contestants have been cast and the show is filming at an L.A. mansion.

The show is called "Finding Prince Charming" and it's hosted by Lance Bass.

There might be a rub. We're told the show is not a spinoff of "The Bachelor," and it's unclear whether producers of the OG show might have a problem with the knockoff.

'Bachelor' winner Courtney Robertson is at it again ... flaunting her ridiculously hot body at the beach, but this time she kept her bikini on.

If you recall ... Courtney won the Ben Flajnik edition of "The Bachelor" after they banged in a now famous "ocean sex" scene from season 16. Alas, like most of these TV romances, the relationship didn't last. Courtney spent Easter alone in Malibu ... looking hot!

Erin Storm, who competed for the affection of Matt Grant on "The Bachelor," has died in a plane crash.

The single engine plane went down Monday shortly after taking off at Hawthorne Airport. A nearby construction crew witnessed the crash and pulled the 41-year-old from the wreckage. She was taken to a local hospital but could not be saved.

We're told Erin was flying the plane. There were no passengers.

It's unclear what caused the wreck ... but cops say no one on the ground was injured.

Erin was eliminated from the show in 2008 after the third episode.

R.I.P.
