The Bachelor’s Jake: “I couldn’t get a date in high school”

It’s hard to believe that a man who has gorgeous women throwing themselves at him on national television ever had trouble finding a date. But that’s exactly how it was for heartthrob pilot Jake Pavelka, the current star of ABC’s hit series The Bachelor. During a romantic one-on-one date with contestant Gia Allemand at a vineyard, Jake sheepishly admitted that his nickname in high school was “Mr. Dateless.”

He wasn’t exaggerating. “I was just shy around girls at that age,” Jake tells Life & Style. “I tended to be bullied in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades.” And while he’s a catch now, there’s one person who wasn’t surprised to hear that Jake had a tough time with the ladies when he was younger. “The time that I spent with Jake, I could see that he was probably very shy in high school,” recently eliminated contestant Ella Nolan tells Life & Style.

But that’s not stopping Jake from trying to find love on TV’s most popular reality dating show. “I’m not looking for the most beautiful woman out there,” he told Life & Style. “But I’m looking for a heart of gold — and character, lots of character.”

Taylor Swift Splurges on a New Penthouse

While most girls her age are spending their disposable income on movies and makeup, superstar singer Taylor Swift, 20, has just plunked down nearly $2 million on a luxurious penthouse in her favorite city in the world: Nashville. “I’m so excited!” says Taylor of the 4,062-square-foot, three-bedroom home she has recently purchased in the swanky Adelicia condo development. Located just minutes away from the city’s downtown area, the high-tech condo has 24-hour concierge service, tight security and lots of space for a young, single superstar to relax between world tours. “I love Nashville,” says Taylor, who grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania with her parents and younger brother, Austin, but always longed to live in superstardom. “I never expected that all this would happen to me,” says Taylor, who still loves living as normal of a life as possible. Fans often see her cruising local roads or shopping around town. “I love Target and Walmart — I find the coolest things there,” she says. The star, who describes her tastes as girlie, says she’s looking forward to decorating her bachelorette pad in a “quirky, whimsical style,” when her current tour for her second album, Fearless, winds down in June. “I love interior designing,” she says.

image003-6As co-anchor of the morning show Good Day LA, Jillian Barberie Reynolds is used to functioning on barely any sleep. And that skill is coming in particularly handy with her second child, newborn son Rocco. “I’m up every three hours,” Jillian told Life & Style during an exclusive interview at her LA home on Jan. 27. “I don’t care. I Twitter while I’m breast-feeding him. I call it breast-tweeting!”

Jillian wasn’t quite as laid-back about Rocco’s Jan. 11 arrival — two weeks early — via cesarean section. But she, husband Grant Reynolds (a stay-at-home dad) and their daughter, Ruby, 2, are happy just to go with the flow when it comes to their newest family member. “At my age, I was so lucky to get pregnant without help,” Jillian says. “We didn’t plan it. It was just natural.”

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN: I Haven’t Lost the Baby Weight-and I’m Not in any Rush

Kourtney Kardashian speaks exclusively to Life & Style about her struggle to lose her baby weight, “Losing the weight has been a lot harder than I thought,” she says. “I’ve lost 25 pounds so far. I still have 15 more to go…”

Most Hollywood moms start stressing about losing their baby weight even before leaving the delivery room. But Kourtney Kardashian isn’t like most women. Instead of clocking hours at the gym to shed the 40 pounds she put on during her pregnancy, Kourt has been singularly focusing on her 7-week-old bundle of joy, son Mason Dash. “It’s been hard to find time to work out,” she told Life & Style during an exclusive interview on Jan. 29. “All I want to do is spend time with Mason.”

Kourtney decided to open up to Life & Style about her struggle to slim down after a tabloid magazine used heavyhanded photoshopping to make it appear as if she’d regained her svelte pre-pregnancy figure just one month after giving birth. “Losing the weight has been a lot harder than I thought,” she says. “I’ve lost 25 pounds so far. I still have 15 more to go.”

And Kourtney is happy to keep it real. “Since having him, I don’t care as much what I look like,” Kourtney told Life & Style. “I gained weight in my booty, my stomach, my thighs and my arms. Everything got a little bigger for sure. I do want to get back to the way my body was before, but it’s definitely not my biggest concern. I feel fine.” To help loose the inches and get back her killer abs, Kourtney’s using the Belly Bandit (here posing exclusively for Life & Style). Kourtney says, “The Belly Bandit makes my clothes fit better, and nobody even knows I’m wearing it!”

Kourtney’s post-baby weight loss has her mom, Kris Jenner, thinking about her own battle with baby weight back in 1979. “I gained 55 pounds when I had Kourtney,” Kris tells Life & Style. “Afterward, I went to a Pilates class and tried everything I could to lose the weight as quickly as possible. It took me only three months.”

Carrie Plans her Dream Wedding

From bridal-body boot camp to the dress of her dreams, LIFE & STYLE has all the new details of Carrie Underwood’s countdown to ‘I do’

image001-9

The Grammys are known as the music industry’s biggest night, but on Jan. 31, all country superstar Carrie Underwood seemed to be thinking of was her big day. When asked on the red carpet whether she and pro hockey player Mike Fisher, who got engaged in December, have set a date yet, Carrie excitedly replied, “Not officially; we’re kind of bouncing a few around.” She also reported that her mother and Mike’s mom had just met for the first time. “His parents live in Canada and mine live in Oklahoma,” she explained. “They got to hang out. I think they’re both very excited,” she said recently.

Consider the groom equally revved up. Days earlier, when talking to Life & Style via phone from his room at the Ritz-Carlton in Boston on Jan. 22, Mike shared three points he and Carrie have already agreed on. “It’s going to be a good size wedding with plenty of good food and an open bar,” he told Life & Style. “But nothing too overblown. It’s still in the planning stages, so a lot of the details haven’t been finalized.” He admitted that his fiancée would be handling most of the specifics. “As you might expect, Carrie’s involved in a lot of the details,” he said, adding with a laugh, “I’ll just be showing up.”

Carrie already has a clear idea of how she wants to look when she and Mike tie the knot. Her dream dress? “I want it to be pretty traditional,” she’s explained. “I think I want flowers on it — not real flowers. [The designer will] probably be someone I’ve worked with before.” Is someone already sewing away? “We can’t even think about her wedding yet,” Carrie’s stylist, Trish Townsend, told Life & Style on Feb. 1. “We just got through the Grammys. Next is the Super Bowl — she’s singing the national anthem.” Roberto de Villacis, who designed one of Carrie’s looks for the 2009 Country Music Awards and dressed the star for the video of her 2009 hit “Cowboy Casanova,” says he’d be thrilled to do the honors. “I love designing for Carrie,” De Villacis tells Life & Style. “Since meeting her, I’ve been thinking about her wedding dress. Carrie’s sweet, feminine, romantic. I’d propose a glamorous Southern-belle gown in French Chantilly lace with a floral pattern. She’s petite, so the best silhouette would be a long and lean flute.”

Jen’s Met the Kids!

*EXCLUSIVE*

JenKids

“One week in late March, I overheard security saying that Brad was meeting with [Jen] in Central Park before  going to see Angelina on the set,” housekeeper Anna Kowalski tells In Touch.

While Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may have managed to trick the world into thinking everything is fine, In Touch has exclusive details that making the decision to leave was a long time coming for Brad, who friends say has been miserable for months.

But as In Touch can now exclusively reveal, Brad’s growing feelings for Jen helped ease his pain and back in March, he took great pains to arrange a secret meeting in NYC’s Central Park for Jen, himself, and his daughters Shiloh and Zahara. “One week in late March, I overheard security saying that Brad was meeting with [Jen] in Central Park before going to see Angelina on the set,” former Waldorf-Astoria employee Anna Kowalski tells In Touch. “He took Shiloh and Zahara in the car with him.” The whole thing was very carefully planned, says an insider, with Brad driven to a location near the Mount Sinai School of Medicine on 5th Avenue, where he met Jen at her SUV in the park. No doubt it was nerve-wracking. At the time, the last thing he wanted was for Angelina to fi and out he’d introduced Jen to their children. But for the formerly married couple, it was well worth it. “Zahara was asleep in the car with the driver, so Jen only got to talk with Shiloh,” says a friend of the actress, who adds that during the 20-minute meeting, Jen was moved to tears seeing her ex-husband’s adorable daughter. “She said that all that had happened in their past seemed to melt away that day,” says the friend, who adds that after the meeting, Jen remarked that she’s “proud of Brad and thinks he’s a great dad.” Even though Brad wasn’t happy with the way his life was going with Angelina, the friend says, Jen said, “at least he had this beautiful little girl.” And for Jen, who had been trying for children with Brad when they were married, that was a lot.

Meet the Millionaire Matchmaker Baby

When Destin Pfaff’s now-fiancée, Rachel Federoff, asked if she could work with Destin at Patti Stanger’s Millionaire’s Club, the idea took some getting used to. But now Destin might have to come to terms with another family member joining the matchmaking team. The couple’s 5-month-old son, Sin Halo Jude, seems fated for camera time on The Millionaire Matchmaker. “Every time the baby sees Patti, he shrieks like a banshee,” Destin tells Life & Style. “She’s great with him. Sin makes her want a baby.”

Rachel, 32, and Destin, 35, are just ecstatic that their baby boy is finally healthy. Sin was delivered via emergency cesarean section after the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and stopped his fragile heart. He also later suffered from digestive problems. “It was scary and hard, but we were lucky,” says Destin. “Now he’s tough as nails — beautiful and perfect!” As for his unusual name, “My parents hate the name Sin Halo,” Rachel tells Life & Style. “But it’s the yin and the yang — everybody has a little good and bad in them.”
