Ali Fedotowsky 'stressed' over her fat body, weight gain on 'The Bachelorette'

Ali Fedotowsky thinks she's fat. While watching previously taped episodes of The Bachelorette, the star has reportedly been "stressed" at larger images of her formally tiny frame.

"It's been stressful watching herself on camera," a source close to the star reveals in the upcoming issue of Us Magazine, out on newsstands Friday June 11.

Currently standing at 5-foot-7 and donning a size 6, the 25-year-old Bachelorette star is done with "binging" and is crash dieting to get back to her former self.

An insider from the show adds that producers encouraged her weight gain by constantly re-taping scenes from the show.

"All she did was eat and drink," sources from the set say. So Ali is taking action to peel off the 15 pounds she gained while doing the show with a high-protein, egg-filled diet. In addition to daily, grueling runs, Ali is also picking up flack from critics who say her perceived weight gain is a developing eating disorder.

"We're not sure what's more shocking," writes TheHollywoodGossip.com. "That Ali Fedotowsky thinks she needs to lose weight, or that they re-tape scenes on The Bachelorette."

Even fans are commenting on the developing story. One reader writes: "I’ve seen the show and I’ve seen Ali in a bikini. The girl looks awesome. She does not need to lose any weight."

Bachelor Jake's Advice to Bachelorette Ali: Kiss A Lot of Guys!

Former Bachelor Jake Pavelka and his winning lady Vienna Girardi have some advice for current Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky.

"Kiss all the guys and have as much fun as you can," Jake told me at last night's World of Color premiere at Disneyland. "Keep your heart open."

We're sure his fiancé Vienna, who was also on hand for the Disney celebration, was thrilled to hear his strategy.

Either way, Vienna has already decided on a few potential guys that she likes (and one she doesn't) this season...

"I like Frank, I like Justin and I like Bruno," she told me. "Craig is a meany. Let's just say that."

No surprise that Vienna likes pro-wresler Justin, who has drawn some comparisons to her for being the black sheep of the house.

As to whether the toothy twosome will walk down the aisle anytime soon, they say they haven't planned where and when yet.

"This would be a good place to have it...the land of happies!" Jake suggested.

Also on hand at the Happiest Place on Earth for the premiere of the new water-and-light spectacular: John Stamos, Vanessa Hudgens and Teri Hatcher.

The Bachelor Jake Pavelka and his fiancée Vienna Girardi looked every bit the happy couple  as they spent a day on the beach in Kauai, Hawaii, and RadarOnline.com has the pics for you.

Pavelka showed off his sleek, sexy body in blue shorts, while Girardi steamed it up in a pink bikini with horizontally-striped bottoms on Tuesday.

The lovebirds told RadarOnline.com's Tina Malave, at the end of this year's Dancing With the Stars, that they haven't set a date yet for their wedding, and are still focused on enjoying their relationship.

"Well, as far as a wedding date you'll be the first to know," Pavelka told RadarOnline.com exclusively. "We're just dating, having a good time, you know, getting to know each other, We've been together for seven months now, and we've been engaged for seven months now, and each day just gets sweeter and sweeter."

Craig McKinnon: Just Not Into Ali Fedotowsky

If you watched The Bachelorette Monday, you couldn't help but hate (or love to hate) the Canadian hothead with the big mouth and used car salesman hair.

It was apparent to everyone - poor weatherman Jonathan Novack, Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky and millions of viewers - that Craig M. is a sociopath.

Still, that doesn't mean he wasn't fun to watch.

Ousted during the rose ceremony, Craig M. (for McKinnon, or Machismo) says there are no hard feelings, as he didn’t feel “a natural connection” anyway.

The Toronto native reflected on his short but memorable stint on The Bachelorette on a conference call this week. Here's what he had to say about ...

Nagging Jonathan: "The weatherman situation was not serious at all. I was totally joking. Jonathan ... is a good guy who took things the wrong way."

On being portrayed as a bully: "I guess I was portrayed [as a villain]. People who know me laughed their heads off and had a great time watching."

On his one regret: "Jesse and I in the kitchen. I wasn’t proud of that. The next morning we apologized to each other. It was inappropriate behavior."

On why he didn't get a rose: "Jonathan saying I was stirring up trouble and Ali [knowing] I wasn’t interested ... That probably trumped what he said."

On why he went on the show in the first place: "To find someone I could love and possibly get to the point of engagement. That was my purpose."

"But also for the experience. Anyone who says they aren’t there for an experience is lying. When I saw it was Ali, I wanted to still go on and have fun."

On Justin “Rated R” Rego: "The wrestler seemed pretty decent. Probably wasn’t there for the right reasons, but he didn’t seem like that bad a guy."

On his picks for Ali Fedotowsky: "Kirk, Roberto Martinez and Chris Lambton are a good fit. Those three seem really genuine about why they’re there."

Bachelorette Winner To Run Bolder Boulder

Among the famous names running the Bolder Boulder is Colorado native Ryan Sutter, the first winner of the reality TV series "The Bachelorette." 

In the mountains near Vail, Sutter said he has been fighting an "uphill" battle. "It would be nice to find some flat ground every now and then," said Sutter, laughing after finishing a two-hour training ride

It's been seven years since the Vail firefighter's appearance on "The Bachelorette," when he won Trista Rehn's heart. 

"It was only six weeks of my life, but it was the defining six weeks of my life," he said. Now happily married to Trista and with two beautiful children, he was looking for a new way to define himself, he said, and he found "First Descents," a Boulder nonprofit that provides free outdoor adventure therapy for young adults with cancer. "They have to combat nature because nature doesn't care if you have cancer or not. That river is the same for people with cancer or without," he said. "In turn, it sort of helps you put your cancer in perspective or your life in perspective."

Inspired by the cause, Sutter's new mission is to lead Team First Descents, raising funds and awareness at 10 athletic events across the country in 2010. "The 10.10.10 challenge is we're hoping to inspire 10,000 people to donate $10 each. That's $100,000 that will have a ton of impact through First Descents," said Sutter. His events start with the Bolder Boulder, and includes the Leadville 100, New York City Marathon and Lake Placid Ironman. "There is no way I could do any of this without Trista's help. She basically takes the kids while I go on these long bike rides and things. It's a team effort," he said. 

Still, juggling his family, firefighting job and grueling daily training has been a challenge, but he said that was the point. "If you do get cancer, you're still going to have a family. You're still going to have a job. And you have to confront this ruthless disease," said Sutter. In his own way, he is putting himself in their shoes, he said. "It's supposed to be about embracing life and being thankful for the things you have and trying to give back and be helpful," he said. To Donate to First Descents or join their team, click here.

Ali's Bachelorette Blog: My Best First Date Ever!

Source: People TV Watch

Ali Fedotowsky, the 25-year-old advertising account manager from San Francisco and former contestant on The Bachelor is the newest star of The Bachelorette. Each week, she will be blogging for PEOPLE.com and sharing her thoughts about the episode that aired the night before. “You’re going to see me get mad, cry, be happy, stressed out,” Fedotowsky says of the upcoming season. “The real me — the good, bad and the ugly.” In today’s blog, After dismissing eight men last week, Fedotowsky talks about her dates with Frank, the guys in Speedos and more.

My first week of dates! They were so much fun but not at all what I expected. Why? Because dating 17 guys is really hard!

As you know, my first date was with Frank and I can honestly say that it was the most fun I’ve ever had on a first date in my whole life. As soon as Frank got into the car we clicked. He is so easy to talk to and super funny, which is exactly what I have been looking for. I knew he was a good match for me when we were both able to laugh about the fact that our car broke down in the middle of the highway. I could not believe that happened! I’m actually glad it did though because it’s such a fun story to tell. The only downside is that Frank never even tried to fix it! C’mon, Frank! At least try! Luckily the rest of the date went perfectly and by the end of the night, we had made a very strong connection. 

Now onto the group date … which was very overwhelming. I’m so glad that we got the chance to do something for charity since giving back is really important to me. However, the photo shoot kept us super busy so it was hard to focus on getting to know the guys. And I still can’t believe the guys put on those Speedos!!! I swear I knew nothing about the outfits before we went on the date and I actually felt bad for the guys, but they were all such great sports. I’m sure they were thrilled once we all put on regular clothes and headed to H Wood in Hollywood. I was really glad that I was able to spend a lot of one-on-one time with the guys at the afterparty. Jonathan warned me about Craig M., but honestly, I already knew something was up with him. I was thankful that Jonathan had my back and let me know about it; otherwise, I would have just been speculating. I didn’t want to address Craig M. about it on the date, though, so I waited until the rose ceremony to confront him.

Before we get to the rose ceremony though, let’s talk Vegas! What an over-the-top date! As many of you know, I am not the most glamorous gal. Therefore I felt a little bit uncomfortable with the A-list service we received that day. You probably noticed that by the end of the night I had kicked off my heels and was running around barefoot. Where were my sneakers when I needed them? 

The rose ceremony this week was completely different than last week. I finally felt like myself. I was able to relax and focus all of my attention on getting to know the guys. It was a good thing too because I needed to feel confident going into my conversation with Craig M. I feel bad that he was able to pinpoint Jonathan after I told him that someone called him dangerous. I didn’t realize that Craig would know whom I was talking about. At the end of the night, I felt confident in my decision to let Craig M, Tyler, and Chris H. go. It’s never easy, but I felt a sense of relief knowing that I was one step closer to hopefully finding the love of my life. 

Until next time…

Episode 2: 14 Guys Remaining!

Name: Jesse
Age: 24
Occupation: General Contractor
Hometown: Peculiar, MO

Jessie won the second one-on-one date with Ali. They flew to Vegas on a private jet. He was able to make Ali feel safe as we all know she has a fear of flying. I think that Jessie is a very good looking guy and there's a bit of chemistry between them. I don't know if he will be one of the final guys but I can't wait to see their relationship grow.

Name: John C.

Age: 32

Occupation: Hotel Business Development

Hometown: Issaquah, WA

John C has managed to survive two rose ceremonies in the Bachelor mansion. He seems like a really sweet guy but we still haven't seen Ali and him alone yet.

Name: Jonathan

Age: 30

Occupation: Weatherman

Hometown: Houston, TX

Jonathan was able to make Ali fall for him after he handed her a sunshine button. Yes it was corny but Ali absolutely loved it. He has become Ali's informant after he "dared to take the tattletale route" and tell the Bachelorette of Craig M's intentions. We all know that in the past, the informant never survives the rose ceremony, but Ali decided to listen to the weatherman.

I think that an amazing friendship is building between Jonathan and Ali and I don't see it becoming a romantic one!

Name: Justin

Age: 26

Occupation: Entertainment Wrestler

Hometown: Toronto, CA

Ok when I saw him step out the limo, my "Bullshit Detector" went crazy. I knew that he was bad news. The type of guy that can lie is way through anything and ppl will believe him. Ali still hasn't seen it and hopefully she will soon.

 

Name: Kasey

Age: 27

Occupation: Advertising Account Executive

Hometown: Clovis, CA

I still don't know how Kasey has managed to survive after two rose ceremonies.
 

Name: Kirk

Age: 27
Occupation: Sales Consultant

Hometown: Green Bay, WI

 

Kirk has managed to stay away from all the crazy drama unfolding in the Bachelor Mansion. I give him major points for that. He seems like an amazing guy and I want to see him interact with Ali more. He's still a mystery to all of us.

 

Name: Chris L.

Age: 33

Profession: Landscaper

Hometown: Cape Cod, MA

Chris L seems like such a sweetheart. He's definitely here for the right reasons and hopefully we get to see him on a one-on-one date next week. 

 

Name: Roberto
Age: 26

Occupation: Insurance Agent

Hometown: Charleston, SC

 

Roberto is one good looking dude. He got the first impression rose and Ali hasn't stopped blushing ever since. He is such a sweetheart and he is the only guy to have such chemistry with Ali. I'm still wondering why he hasn't had a one-on-one date with Ali. I definitely see him in the top three and I can't wait to see more Ali and Roberto.

 

 

Name: Steve

Age: 28

Occupation: Sales Representative

Hometown: Cleveland, OH

 

Steve has survived two rose ceremonies and he seems like a sweet and sincere guy.

Name: Ty

Age: 31

Occupation: Medical Sales

Hometown: Nashville, TN

Ty is such a sweetheart. I love that he was honest and sincere with Ali right in the beginning. It was really brave of him and I hope that he sticks around for a while.

Name: Chris N.

Age: 29
Profession: Entrepreneur

Hometown: Orlando, FL

 

He seems to be here for the right reasons. 

Name: Craig R.

Age: 27

Occupation: Lawyer

Hometown: Philadelphia, PA

Only seriously! Who said that orange is the new black?

Name: Frank

Age: 31

Occupation: Retail Manager

Hometown: Geneva, IL

Frank won the first "one-on-one" date with Ali Fedotowsky. I totally respect the fact that he was able to leave his full time job and focus on his "screen writing." It takes alot of guts to do that and I give him major points for that. Ali and Frank hit it off right away but I don't see this chemistry that they kept referring too! All I can see is they have an amazing friendship building and that's it.


I don't see it at all! Also I hated the fact that he interrupted Kasey's few moments with Ali. Come on Frank, you had a whole day with her and you already have a rose, don't be so full of yourself and this "amazing chemistry" you keep referring too!

Name: Hunter

Age: 28

Occupation: Internet Account Executive

Hometown: San Antonio, TX

So far, I don't have much to say about Hunter. He seems like a sweet, honest guy but we haven't seen alot of him. Hopefully we will soon!
