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.”

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.
