Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I Almost Famous podcast
Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: It's time for Bachelor headlines. This is the Almost Famous podcast.
Speaker 2: We're here today to tell you everything going on in
Speaker 2: Bachelor Nation that we know of right now. The first
Speaker 2: headline is this the Bachelor's Grant Ellis and Juliana reveal
Speaker 2: where they hope to tie the knot. So Ashley two
Speaker 2: things with this one. They're revealing where they want to
Speaker 2: tie the knot, which means that they're still together, which
Speaker 2: means they're still planning a wedding, which means our take
Speaker 2: the maybe they weren't together must be wrong.
Speaker 3: Well, I thought we were together. I just think there
Speaker 3: is trouble in paradise. But I'm also just being dramatic.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so where do they want to tie it out?
Speaker 3: They were on the Happy Hour podcast with Joe and
Speaker 3: Sergoona this weekend or this week, and they said that
Speaker 3: they are brainstorming ideas for the big day. She really
Speaker 3: hopes to get married in Italy by the Water. Says
Speaker 3: that she feels like it's just they just got to
Speaker 3: like kind of hone in on the real idea, but
Speaker 3: going to Italy is definitely something that they're going to
Speaker 3: try to make happen. She's got really deep Italian roots.
Speaker 2: It's you know what I do think. I listened to
Speaker 2: that episode. There was moments where I don't think we
Speaker 2: were that far off. I think there is you know, questions.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're struggling or not, but there's questions.
Speaker 2: I also think moving closer together will probably be helpful.
Speaker 2: It feels like it's distances, you know, been at play here.
Speaker 2: The next headline is this Kelsey Anderson talks wedding planning
Speaker 2: with Joey. We got a lot of wedding planning going.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'll ask him this weekend about where he's getting
Speaker 2: married when.
Speaker 3: Yeah, get a headline for us ben So she said
Speaker 3: that they're getting the process started. So Kelsey said that
Speaker 3: they're really going to try to dig in after the
Speaker 3: birthday and after that, wedding planning is the next on
Speaker 3: the list. It's a whole new list of things that
Speaker 3: they're going to have to come up with. Date, location,
Speaker 3: those are their priorities.
Speaker 4: Of course.
Speaker 2: Now I have been around the two of them, and
Speaker 2: I will be around the two of them one or
Speaker 2: at least Joey the next two months. We have things
Speaker 2: planned together, all golf related. Obviously, you don't want to compare.
Speaker 2: That doesn't sound healthy. I will say this, the two
Speaker 2: of them are as strong as any couple I've ever
Speaker 2: seen coming out of the franchise. I mean, I think
Speaker 2: I've always used to say Jojo and Jordan seem like
Speaker 2: they were just like rock steady, right. But I'd also
Speaker 2: say that Zach and Katie are up there. But I
Speaker 2: Joey and Kelsey just they just get each other. You
Speaker 2: can see the love, the support, the care. I have
Speaker 2: zero doubt that they're making big plans for their futures.
Speaker 5: Oh that's great, that's great.
Speaker 3: It seems like that from afar, but I've only met
Speaker 3: him once and then I haven't met her yet. But
Speaker 3: I love hearing mat because they're one of my favorites
Speaker 3: as a fangirl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Michelle Young celebrates bachelorette party in Arizona.
Speaker 4: Goodness.
Speaker 2: I remember during the Golden Wedding when we met her.
Speaker 2: I think it was just then boyfriend loved the guy,
Speaker 2: nice guy, so handsome. I remember just being like overwhelmed
Speaker 2: with his beauty. So it's cool to see, you know,
Speaker 2: this come to this point where they're now planning, you know,
Speaker 2: next steps.
Speaker 3: Yes, so her maid of honor is Ryan Klater. So,
Speaker 3: Ryan arrived in week three of Matt James's season and
Speaker 3: was eliminated week five. She was one of the girls
Speaker 3: that went in with Michelle late.
Speaker 4: Ah.
Speaker 3: Interesting, yeah, yeah, it's okay, you guys, you can't remember everything.
Speaker 5: But the.
Speaker 3: Bachelorette party was in Scottsdale. I like a Scottsdale bachelorette party.
Speaker 3: And I remember when Michelle was last on the podcast,
Speaker 3: I want to say about two months ago. She said
Speaker 3: that the wedding was very soon coming up, like so,
Speaker 3: I think that it'll be within the next month or so.
Speaker 3: And they said that over the weekend, the ladies enjoyed
Speaker 3: lounging by the pool, riding ATVs, going out to a club,
Speaker 3: and sipping delicious drinks by the pool.
Speaker 4: We got to celebrate Michelle.
Speaker 2: You know what, it's incredibly awesome to see bachelor's favorites,
Speaker 2: you know, finding love.
Speaker 4: Now. We have a little audio clip here.
Speaker 2: I think it's relatable Ashley in a lot of ways,
Speaker 2: but it's from Mollie Mesnick. The headlines is this Molly
Speaker 2: Mesnick forgets she was ever on The Bachelor, let's listen in.
Speaker 6: I don't even remember being on the Bachelor, Like it
Speaker 6: feels like ages ago since we did that, Like it
Speaker 6: feels like a lifetime ago. We're so far removed from
Speaker 6: that world, Like Jason and I of a really normal life.
Speaker 4: We work normal jobs.
Speaker 6: Like doing something like this is like way out of
Speaker 6: my comfort zone.
Speaker 5: I'm just so far removed from the Bachelor world. But
Speaker 5: it's fun being able to come and do stuff like this.
Speaker 3: For clarification sake, Molly during this interview is at the
Speaker 3: premiere of a movie. It's like a Lifetime movie or something,
Speaker 3: and she says that that is something that she's just
Speaker 3: so unfamiliar with doing these days.
Speaker 5: No, I cannot relate.
Speaker 3: I remember being on the Bachelor quite well, wonderful life
Speaker 3: changing experience as it was for Mollie.
Speaker 5: It was a few years further back for her.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 3: Know, I just yes, I remember, I remember a lot.
Speaker 2: Sam Jeffries discusses breast implant removal surgery and an emotional post.
Speaker 3: Sam Jeffries might not be a name that you remember,
Speaker 3: but she was on season twenty six of the Bachelor,
Speaker 3: and she was on the last season a Bachelor in
Speaker 3: Paradise and you saw your picture. Yeah, okay, if you
Speaker 3: saw a picture, you would remember.
Speaker 5: And now that Ben said the consipated thing.
Speaker 3: She had to leave Paradise early because she hadn't pooped
Speaker 3: in at least nine days.
Speaker 5: That's probably how you remember her.
Speaker 3: She got them removed, and she said that she already
Speaker 3: felt lighter immediately after surgery, physically, emotionally, spiritually. She said
Speaker 3: that back in twenty seventeen, she found a lump that
Speaker 3: had to be removed, and then another one showed up
Speaker 3: on a mammogram. Both were taken out, and after the
Speaker 3: second surgery she got implants. Because she had lost so
Speaker 3: much tissue during the surgeries that she didn't even recognize
Speaker 3: her body anymore. But she said that she was told
Speaker 3: that one implant was placed and the other one.
Speaker 1: Was.
Speaker 3: It was like the other side had one temporary. It
Speaker 3: was like a temporary implant. It had to be removed
Speaker 3: because it was too big. So I guess one side
Speaker 3: was good when the other side was too big. And
Speaker 3: then she found out that there was still a small
Speaker 3: implant in there after the temporary we had been taken out.
Speaker 3: It was lots of process, she said, but she just
Speaker 3: feels really good about the decision to completely remove them.
Speaker 3: Good just another example of girls in Bachelor Nation getting
Speaker 3: rid of their breast implants. Claire and Amanda have both
Speaker 3: gotten rid of them recently and feel much better without them.
Speaker 3: So thank you girls for giving me confidence and not
Speaker 3: getting them for my small postpartum boobies.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Claire, Claire, Crawley opens up about struggling with
Speaker 2: medical condition.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: We did talk about Claire getting her breast implants removed
Speaker 2: just a few years ago, and she's back on Instagram.
Speaker 2: Speaking about this medical condition, Ashley tell us everything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, she has topical steroid with drawl. She says that
Speaker 3: she's finally sharing something that she's kept hidden for quite
Speaker 3: some time. For those who missed it, she said she's
Speaker 3: even though she has taught she's you know, she's mentioned
Speaker 3: not feeling confident when the way that she's looked lately.
Speaker 3: She said that she had something. It was almost a
Speaker 3: year ago. I remember her saying, I have filters on
Speaker 3: on Instagram a lot because I'm just going through something
Speaker 3: that I don't feel super confident about my appearance right now.
Speaker 3: She did at some point mentioned that it had to
Speaker 3: do with a steroid and how it was like kind
Speaker 3: of making her puffy, which steroids often do, and now,
Speaker 3: she said, she's still suffering with it. She doesn't have answers.
Speaker 3: I'm not on the other side with a shiny bow
Speaker 3: tied around it, she said. But I couldn't keep quiet
Speaker 3: about it anymore. I'm walking through this moment my moment,
Speaker 3: but sharing it is part of my healing now. And
Speaker 3: you're in the middle of something very hard, and I
Speaker 3: hope this reminds you if you are too, that you're
Speaker 3: not alone.
Speaker 5: That is awful. It sucks to not.
Speaker 3: Feel like you look good. You know, obviously you want
Speaker 3: to look feel good physically number one and be healthy internally,
Speaker 3: but being able to like not go out and show
Speaker 3: your face confidently sucks well.
Speaker 2: And I also just know, I mean, I've this the
Speaker 2: topical steroid like process. When your body has this kind
Speaker 2: of reaction, it's very serious and it's very scary and
Speaker 2: it can cause really detrimental damage. And so we'll be
Speaker 2: falling along with this because you know, I think when
Speaker 2: we read it, maybe the reaction is like, oh, you know,
Speaker 2: her body will adjust and it's a big deal. So
Speaker 2: we're thinking about you clear it is brutal not only
Speaker 2: not feel your best, but also to have such a
Speaker 2: serious issue happening that there's very little control over.
Speaker 3: I need to say this if you're wondering what this is.
Speaker 3: She obviously had to use a topical steroid for something
Speaker 3: and then with what she has right now could last
Speaker 3: up to a couple months to many years.
Speaker 4: Oh, it's a big deal, a really big deal. All right.
Speaker 2: Final headline is this on a little lighter note, we
Speaker 2: are thinking about you clear is Tasha Adams recently performed
Speaker 2: with Shakira.
Speaker 4: That feels like a big.
Speaker 3: Deal for the non fangirl ben he thinks this is
Speaker 3: a big deal. So yeah, oh you remember Shakira because
Speaker 3: like you probably remember the video that came out when
Speaker 3: we were in like eighth grade or ninth grade whenever,
Speaker 3: what we did that hip that made me want to
Speaker 3: be her and maybe you and Jared want to be
Speaker 3: with her.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So she was able to.
Speaker 3: Go on on stage with Shakira at MetLife Stadium, like
Speaker 3: this is not even just a theater or even an arena,
Speaker 3: a stadium. She went out with a whole bunch of people.
Speaker 3: Tasha jokes like so am I on tour now and
Speaker 3: then she took a picture with her backstage.
Speaker 5: Very cool, very cool.
Speaker 4: Good for Tasha.
Speaker 2: Goodness, you know what, I think we just announced the
Speaker 2: breakup or that they separated her and her boyfriend. Now
Speaker 2: she's performing on stage with Shakiri. It always feels like
Speaker 2: when you feel like you're at rock bottom, something always
Speaker 2: brings you out of it to the top. Ashley, that's
Speaker 2: all the headlines we have today. That's what's happening in
Speaker 2: Bachelor Nation. Until next time.
