The guy who said Colton Underwood was "acting like a pussy" despite never being in one on 'The Bachelorette: Men Tell All' says an apology is warranted ... FROM Colton!

We spoke to Jean Blanc -- one of Becca Kufrin's suitors this season -- a day after his fiery exchange with Colton aired, and he burned Colton over being a virgin. It WAS a harsh zinger, but it also stole the show.

TAKING IT THERE
ABC

Jean Blanc, who released his own fragrance Toujours Rose, tells us that's not exactly what happened in the studio, and thinks he's the victim of editing. He claims Colton fired the first shot, calling HIM the p-word, but producers cut that out. So, the final edit made it look like Jean Blanc took a cheap shot.

Even though much of Bach nation thinks JB went too far -- especially after Colton cried about bullying -- he insists Colton needs to say sorry.

As for the buzz about the next 'Bachelor' -- Jean Blanc says Colton proved he can't handle the pressure. And yeah, you can guess who he wants to get the gig.

Corinne Olympios Sacha Duped Me into 'Grenade' PSA ... I Just Wanted Out!

I FELT HELPLESS
TMZ.com

Corinne Olympios says her interview with Sacha Baron Cohen -- where she advocates grenades for kids -- is no reflection on her character, instead it only proves he strong-arms folks into looking stupid.

The 'Bachelor' alum was fully duped on Sunday's episode of Sacha's show, "Who Is America?," If you missed it ... she made crazy claims about saving Ebola-afflicted people in Africa, and pitched a bogus ad endorsing kids being weaponized.

It was NOT a good look for Corinne, who seemed willing to say and do anything for a buck. It's especially bad because Corinne was accused of lying during her 'BiP' controversy ... but Corinne tells us it's BS to conflate 'Bachelor' with what Sacha did to her.

The TV star says she was essentially held hostage, separated from her phone and her manager. She says when she questioned the script, producers told her the sooner she finished ... the sooner she could leave.

'Bachelorette' Star Colton I'm Not Faking My Virginity!

CRAZY CORINNE
iHeartRadio Channel 933

Recently dumped 'Bachelorette' star Colton Underwood is shooting down Corinne Olympios' claim that he lied about his virginity, because he says he'd never admit it on national television if it weren't true.

Colton was a guest Tuesday on San Diego morning radio talk show 'Kramer & Geena,' where he was blindsided by the accusation. Colton not only stuck to his guns, but fired back, saying Corinne has no idea what she's talking about when it comes to the remaining bachelors since she said they "all suck." Colton says they're actually 4 stand-up guys.

Corinne told us Monday that she believes Colton, an ex-San Diego Charger, lied through his teeth for attention, but it ended up backfiring since he got the boot on Monday night's episode.

Corinne Olympios Wake Up, 'Bachelor' Nation Colton's Definitely Not a Virgin!!

I CALL BS
TMZ.com

Corinne Olympios isn't buying what Colton Underwood is selling on this season of "The Bachelorette" -- insisting the ex-football player's already swiped his V card.

The villain from Nick Viall's 'Bachelor' season was in Venice on Monday when she weighed in on Colton confessing to Becca Kufrin that he's a virgin. He still got a rose, but Corinne thinks Becca got taken.

First off, she says Colton's too hot to still have unwrapped goodies. She also says his so-called confession is one guys use all the time for sympathy. That said, she thinks it's hurting him more than helping. He did get eliminated on this week's episode, so ... Corinne might've had a point.

WHAT 'BACHELOR' CURSE?
TMZ.com

'Bachelor' stars Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham have been together long enough they're now answering questions almost exactly the same ... call it creepy cute.

We got Arie and Lauren on Wednesday leaving "The View" in NYC where they posed for pics with fans. Our guy asked the million dollar question -- will they watch Becca Kufrin's upcoming 'Bachelorette' season?

You'll recall Arie became public enemy No. 1 after blindsiding Becca and dumping her for Lauren ... in the cringeworthy 'Bachelor' finale. Watch ... Arie and Lauren were either coached on how to answer, or they're just starting to talk alike.

Btw ... Arie and Lauren are tying the knot Jan. 12 in Hawaii, a full year after meeting on 'Bachelor.' They made the announcement 5 days before Becca's premiere.

Stealing thunder, table for 2?

Arie Luyendyk Jr. & Channing Tatum From One Bachelor to Another ... Live Life in the Fast Lane!

042218_arie_kal
BACHELOR PARTY

Channing Tatum is single again, so it'd only make sense that he chop it up with one of the most famous bachelors to play the field ... one Arie Luyendyk Jr.

Arie and Channing were hanging out Sunday in Birmingham, Alabama for the Honda Indy Grand Prix, where Channing was serving as the grand marshal of the race ... and, apparently, also got to ride around with Arie for a few laps on the track.

The ex-'Bachelor' even filmed a video of the two of them addressed to his fiancee, Lauren Burnham, in which Channing admitted he was about to do something stupid.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

As you might've heard, Arie's happily engaged now -- but that doesn't mean he couldn't have lent some advice to Channing ... who recently separated from his wife, Jenna Dewan, after nearly nine years of marriage. Our guess -- put it in the rearview, bro ... literally.

Either way, it's telling this is Channing's first public appearance since the news of his split broke ... chillin' with a former bachelor. Everyone's moving on just fine, it seems ... even Jenna.

'Bachelor' Arie Luyendyk Jr. Besos por Lauren In Barcelona

Arie Luyendyk Jr and fiancee #2, Lauren Burnham, don't seem worried about their haters while they make out in the streets of Barcelona.

The 'Bachelor' couple left all the controversy behind and jetted off to Europe, first hitting Iceland and now Barcelona. Their PDA sesh is either a sign they're totally carefree now, or an obvious attempt to play it up for paparazzi.

Hard to tell when it comes to Arie, but after he dumped his first pick, Becca, he instantly became public enemy #1 in the eyes of 'Bachelor' fans ... so, great time for an extended vacay!

Interestingly, former 'Bachelor' Jason Mesnick, who similarly backtracked on his final rose pick, advised Arie to get the hell outta dodge, meaning L.A., due to all the hate from Bachelor Nation.

Jason's still married to his pick from the show ... so, maybe Arie's wisely taking the tip.

Corinne Olympios Arie Luyendyk Jr. Is 'Repulsive'

EW!
TMZ.com

You know Arie Luyendyk Jr. has earned the Worst Bachelor Ever title when one of the franchise's most hated villains is throwing major shade his way.

We got Corinne Olympios leaving Craig's Tuesday night in WeHo with Jonathan Cheban, and when we asked her thoughts on Arie, she didn't exactly have nice things to say. Corinne is notorious for her own "Bachelor in Paradise" sex scandal, which debatably might've been topped by Arie dumping winner Becca Kufrin and weeks after proposing to runner-up Lauren Burnham while cameras were rolling.

Arie tried to do damage control on a live special Tuesday night called 'After the Final Rose,' but that didn't work. It takes time, just ask Corinne.

As for Becca ... she was named on the finale as the next 'Bachelorette' so she wins.

'The Bachelor' Finale Bad for Becca, Except ... Now She's 'Bachelorette'!!!

NEXT UP... BECCA!
ABC

If there's an upside to having your heart broken and your engagement called off while cameras roll for a half hour, showing the world every excruciating moment ... Becca Kufrin's about to find out.

"The Bachelor" star -- fresh off of facing her former fiance Arie Luyendyk Jr. for the first time since he dumped her to pursue Lauren instead -- now has a second chance to find love as next season's 'Bachelorette' ... and will have 30 or so suitors to choose from.

Chris Harrison made the announcement during the extended "After the Final Rose" ceremony Tuesday night ... and the crowd went wild for the fan favorite.

Becca says despite the dramatic televised breakup with Arie, she's ready to move on, and gave a "hard yes" to being the next Bachelorette.

Good luck, Becca!

Sarah Hyland and Wells Adams We're Goin' Urban!!!

Sarah Hyland and new BF Wells Adams hit up Urban Outfitters Friday and found what they were looking for.

The freshly minted couple was perusing the aisles for clothes and housewares. The "Modern Family" star and the "Bachelor" contestant have been seen out a lot recently.

They went to the Lakers game Tuesday night and were way more into each other than the game ... or so it seemed.

Even though Sarah was loving it, we're hoping he left the hat in the store.

Sarah Hyland & BF Kissin' & Chowin' ... A Day Wells Spent!!!

Sarah Hyland and her bf, Wells Adams, had a busy Tuesday ... a little PDA, a little chit chat, and lots of pizza stuffin.

The "Modern Family" star spent the bulk of her Tuesday all over L.A. with the former 'Bachelor' contestant. They got handsy after a lunch date at Joan's on Third ... then went for a stroll and then shopping in Studio City. But there was more.

Sarah and Wells hit up the Lakers game in the evening and stuffed their faces with pizza. Bonus: the Lakers roared back to beat the Bulls.

All's well that ends ... with Wells.

New 'Bachelor' Arie Luyendyk Jr. Hop On, It's Gonna Be a Wild Ride!!!

Former pro race car driver and new 'Bachelor' Arie Luyendyk Jr. knows all about the fast lane and looks like he's already in it with one of the chicks from the new season.

The show started shooting last week in L.A., and over the weekend Arie had one of the hopeful ladies hop on his hog for a ride. We'd say the motorcycle date worked like a charm ... because they were spotted making out later in the day. Race car drivers move fast.

BTW, the cop behind them wasn't pulling them over -- just an escort hired by production.

No word on who she is, but she's one of 30 or so. Arie's gonna need to gas up if he's planning to take 'em all on the road.

Chris Soules Looks Sharp, Says Zilch at Hearing

Chris Soules showed up in court for the first time in nearly 5 months ... this time in a suit and not a bright jumpsuit.

The former 'Bachelor' was flanked by his attorneys at Buchanan County Courthouse Thursday in Iowa for a hearing that lasted 5 minutes. They were there to formalize an agreement with prosecutors regarding evidence.

You'll recall Chris first appeared in court back on April 25 in prison garb. He was told to speak up at that appearance, and this time around he didn't say a peep.

TMZ broke the story ... Chris was arrested after plowing his Chevy pickup into a tractor. The tractor driver later died from his injuries. Chris was charged with felony leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in death, but he's since asked for criminal charge to be dropped.

Chris Soules & Andi Dorfman Old Love Dies Hard So, Let's Grab a Bite!!!

Chris Soules and Andi Dorfman are partying like it's 2014 ... back to one-on-one dates like it's 'Bachelorette' season 10.

Chris and Andi reunited over the weekend by grabbing a bite Sunday at The Dubliner in NYC and looking very much like they did in Andi's season. They looked a tad occupied on their phones but were all about it just 2 days earlier at 'Bachelor' star Sharleen Joynt's wedding to Andy Levine.

Andi lives in NYC and played host to Chris, who BTW needed court permission to leave Iowa to attend the shindig. Remember, Chris has a felony hit-and-run case against him after plowing his Chevy pickup into a tractor that killed a man.

As for the mystery lunch, sources close to Andi pulled the old "they're just friends" card. Chris went pretty far on Andi's season -- 3rd place. Just sayin ...

DATING ARIE 101 ...
TMZ.com

'Bachelor' contestants looking to kick the tires on Arie Luyendyk Jr. need look no further ... his ex-gf is spilling the beans, and she makes him out to be quite the racy gentleman.

We spoke to Sonia Rockwell, an actress on "Being Mary Jane," and although she's happily in a new relationship, she gives Arie a ringing endorsement for his 'Bachelor' suitors.

Sonia and Arie broke up about a decade ago but during the 5 years she dated him, Sonia got to know him like the back of her hand -- like if he's sentimental (yup!) and spontaneous (hell yeah).

She's got advice on how the future 'Bachelor' winner should approach Arie's love for racing. If ya didn't hear by now ... Arie raced professionally, and his dad's a 2-time Indy 500 winner.
