Jason Mesnick has some competition as the most unpopular man to step foot in the “Bachelor” or “Bachelorette” reality dating franchise.
In Monday night’s episode of “The Bachelorette” Jillian Harris eliminated Texas rocker bad boy Wes in Madrid, Spain, following her suspicions that he had come on the show to promote his music, and had a girlfriend back home. Her hunch was confirmed after he was rejected, when Wes revealed in the limo that he, in fact, did have a girlfriend.
Wes bragged to the cameras, “[I am] the first guy ever on ‘The Bachelorette’ to make it to the top four with a girlfriend…. My acting days are over.’’
In next week’s episode Jillian takes the remaining three guys - Reid, Ed and Kiptyn – to Hawaii where she will narrow down her suitors to two. The following week will be the “Men Tell All” special, where host Chris Harrison will have tons to talk to the men about.
“I can’t remember a time when I was more excited to host this show,” Chris blogs on EW.com. “So much to deal with that I’m going to need an extra couple hours from ABC.”
The final episode will air on Monday, July 27 on ABC.

Bachelorette News: Wes Hayden defends his reputation in new post-exit radio interview
By Lindsay Connor, http://www.examiner.com/x-11850-Bachelorette-Examiner~y2009m7d7-Bachelorette-News-Wes-Hayden-defends-his-reputation-in-new-postexit-radio-interviewAfter being eliminated from The Bachelorette Monday night, Wes Hayden spoke to the Bobby Bones show Tuesday morning.
His message? The Austin country singer wants to clear his name to all who thought he was on the show, and dating Jillian Harris, for the wrong reasons. He says show producers put words in his mouth, including that he had a girlfriend.
Did you have a girlfriend when the show was going on?
Wes: I had a girlfriend last summer. She's still a very good friend of mine. Every now and then we'll go out and do lunch or something like that. I mean, I did some work for her mom, I'm good friends with her family. They used her name on the show. And I just called them two weeks ago and was like, 'Look. I don't care what y'all do to me. You can say I'm the worst guy in the world and I'm here for my publicity, I've got a girlfriend. But don't mention anybody's name. Because as soon as you mention her name, people in Austin are going to know her, because we dated for a long time. Sure enough, they mentioned her name the very next day. The very next day, People Magazine called. She gave a great article.Click here for the rest of the article.

JILLIAN GOES TO CALGARY PARTY
Bachelorette Jillian Harris kicks up heels at Calgary party
CALGARY - The Bachelorette has traded her red roses for a cowboy hat.
While millions of people across North America tuned in to watch Jillian Harris on ABC's hit reality TV show Monday evening, The Bachelorette herself watched the show at a Calgary watering hole during her annual visit to the Stampede.
"I just love the Stampede," says Harris, 29, who arrived at the downtown restaurant-lounge Crush to meet nearly 30 girlfriends after a day at the rodeo.
"I come every year. It's the best place to just kick back and relax with my friends."
Harris shot to fame in 2008 as a fan favourite and second runner-up on The Bachelor. As this year's Bachelorette, the first Canadian in the role, she has continued to capture the hearts of fans while driving up ratings for the reality show.
Having lived in Calgary from 1999 to 2005, the interior designer from Peace River, Alta., can Stampede like a pro.
Since she arrived Friday evening, she has been to the rodeo, hit the midway rides, spent the day playing bingo over beers on the grounds and gone two-stepping at Nashville North. By the time she leaves, she will have added pancake flipping for a charity and chuckwagon races to the list.
"Once a Calgarian, always a Calgarian," says Crush owner Brad Bell, who has been friends with Harris for several years and can't recall another time when a reality show played on his bar's big screen TVs. "This was a special request--it's usually sports. Jillian is such a special girl. I was happy to have her and all her friends here to watch the show."

WES REVEALS HIS TRUE COLORS
BACHELORETTE RE-CAP
http://tvwatch.people.com/2009/07/07/bachelorette-recap-wes-reveals-his-true-colors/
Bachelorette Jillian toured Spain trying to figure out which of the final four were in for the long haul. In most cases, she liked what she saw although her eyes were finally opened to the ugly truth about the remaining Romeo.
Madrid Montage: She wandered the streets contemplating the pros and cons of her remaining few suitors. Is Kiptyn too perfect and out of her league? Is Reid ready to start life with her? Will she ever be more important than Ed’s career? Is Wes single? Will he ever wear anything other than cowboy shirts?
It Takes Two to Flamenco: Kiptyn and Jillian strolled in a Madrid park while she tried to get to the bottom of his emotions. Her face fell when Kip revealed that “a proposal seems far off,” but he didn’t notice. He was just as dense during the flamenco dance lesson in an unflattering bolero and skintight pants, but Jill found hope in his ungraceful moves. After crashing a moped into a curb, they sat down to dinner and deep discussions about children, how he reminds her of her spineless dad and the Canadian snail/slug population. When the fantasy suite invite came, she explained that she wasn’t “ready to spend an entire night with somebody yet.” It was his turn for his face to fall as he tried to make her believe that he respected her wishes. He obviously had more in mind than her idea to come up and “cuddle a little.”For the rest of the article, see here. GOOD BYE WES!
BACHELORETTE BLOG - IT'S WORTH READING!

THE BACHELORETTE BLOG: BY JILLIAN HARRIS
EEEEK!!! OMG, YOU GUYS!!! I have been ITCHING to write THIS blog since day one!! YES, I did it (sent Wes home)! I don’t even know where to start with this one. I think I will keep it mostly to the Wes scenario, as this as been the bone of contention for sometime.
But first, you guys, I need to tell you that I DID read all 364 comments (and counting!) that were left after my blog. I do read them all every time. I try my best not to read all the other stuff on the other websites (there is some nasty stuff out there!), but this one is my baby. For some reason, last week, you all wrote the sweetest most sincere messages. I truly sat on my couch with a little tear in my eye, holding my hand over my heart — I felt like each note was a reach out from a best friend. Thank you all for caring for me so much, making me laugh and wanting me to be happy.
The funniest entry I read was from Karen:
Dear Jillian,
If you have rejected Ed, I think I might leave my husband and two children and wander around Chicago with a bullhorn looking for him and his adorable sweater.
Girl, I sure hope it works out for you!
Other than the Wes scenario (which I will dive into soon), I’m not sure I have much juicy gossip about the Spain episode. Kiptyn crashed that scooter about 6 times that night, and although he was mortified, it made me like him even more … I laughed for days about that. I could just see us traveling through Europe doing the same thing and having a blast! Reid and I were starving by the time we went to dinner that night because our attempt at purchasing a romantic little picnic was a complete FLOP and our lunch was dry, tasteless and rubbery — again, another clue as to how much fun we would have traveling together. I did realize in Spain that I’m not as much of a foodie as I thought; I practically starved to death there! I swear I couldn’t find anything to eat but white bread, cured ham and escargot!
I DEFINITELY knew I was NOT ready for overnight dates in Spain. I new they were an integral part of finding your lifelong partner, but I just wasn’t ready! I was nervous to accept the overnight date with Ed because of the “insinuations” that go with that, but I feared that we didn’t have enough time to catch up during the day. I knew that if Ed were to have a shot at this, he needed A LOT of time to get caught up with the others. I’m not sure if this is appropriate to say or not … but I have to tell you … We really did stay up ALL night till 7 a.m. talking about everything under the sun — every guy’s dream of the “fantasy date” … not. But it did make me realize how serious he was about coming back showing me he cared.
So … Wes! I know I kept him for WAY too long. I FULLY admit this. Someone on here wrote the truest way to explain it — it’s like you’re watching a horror movie that you starred in … And all your friends are yelling at you, “He’s behind you! He’s behind you!” Ha. There are so many ways to explain my connection with Wes. I cringe to admit this, but I truly was blinded by many of Wes’s “good qualities” for the better half of his stay that I refused to see all the red flags (and there were a lot of them!).
The thing is, for the last 10 years of my life, I have been surrounded with everything “urban,” my adult life has been all about my work and being in the city and I had this fantasy of being with someone that reminds me of where I came from, you know, camping, driving down the old dirt road, my guy working on the truck out in the driveway, listening to country music, cracking a beer on a Sunday evening on the old front porch … Scrreeeechhhh! What? Jilly! You have been listening to too many honky-tonk songs! Ha! Wes defined that fantasy to a tee, though. And the others were such city boys, I had such a hard time letting that long-time fantasy go.
I still don’t know if Wes had a girlfriend, but I do think Wes was there for his career. Along the way, we did build a friendship but his presence on the show was a disservice to both of us. It made me look like a fool and like I had bad judge of character, and it made him look like someone he is not. I guess this is what you lay out on the line when you sign up for something like this, right? Ultimately, you are all still entitled to your opinion, but I am a huge supporter of forgiveness and I hope you can give Wes a break and lay this one to rest.
Overall, I would say this was one of my favorite episodes so far. It showed my serious side, my funny side, my smart side and my soft side. I have to say, I am my own worst critic throughout all of this, but it is a reminder that I am not a perfect little princess … that I am a brunette and sometimes act like a blonde, that I have a brain, but sometimes choose not to use it, that I am okay with laughing, and later okay with shedding a little tear. This is what makes life so fun and interesting — and I have to admit, I love reliving this experience more and more every day.
Thank you all for reading again. I hope this one didn’t bore you!
Much Love,
Jilly XOXO

WHY DID YOU SAY THAT WES???
'The Bachelorette' recap: Wes is a horrible, horrible man
I don't know Wes's last name, (I KNOW IT, IT'S HAYDEN) and I don't want to, because then he will have gotten his publicity and he will have won. Texas should be ASHAMED of you, Wes. Good luck in Chihuahua, Mexico, where you are apparently worshipped as a god, and please don't ever set foot again in America, much less Canada, because you are OUT. I'm not sure if leading sweet Jillian Harris on is grounds for treason, but it should be.
Poor Jillian finally picked up on the body language -- ie, he sat as far away from her as possible, even though we know from Reid that she smells good -- and he smirked his way through the rose ceremony. "If it's me, you boys will know that I'll be back home, having lots of sex," he remarked to a visibly stunned Kiptyn.

It's been a nerve-racking season. And while all the tension have seemingly ended in last night's episode, I can't help but feel that the drama is far from over. We're now left with three guys,
I'm not sure what sort of drama will still unfold with Jillian's remaining suitors but, based on previous season of The Bachelorette, you can expect the final episodes to be the most interesting ones. For the rest of the article, see here.

'The Bachelorette' Recap: See You in Hell, Wes

During a dramatic trip to Spain, Jillian finally says adios to the country-fried d-bag, and keeps all the boys but Ed out of the Fantasy Suite
LOVE DON'T COME EASY Jillian can no longer deny that Wes is not there for the right reasons
Hola, Bachelorette fans! This week's European adventure reminded me of a line from My Fair Lady: ''The pain in Spain falls mainly on the plain Jane.'' Isn't that how it goes? Anyhow, even though man-related heartbreak followed poor Jillian all the way across the ocean, we do have one thing to celebrate this week: the long, long, long, long, looooooong overdue departure of Wes. To paraphrase another movie musical, ''Ding dong, the wicked d--k is dead!''
The episode starts with a lot of filler. Strolling the streets of Madrid, Jillian reflects on the final four guys: Kipper is the ''perfect package'' (translation: ''I'm not good enough for him''); Reid is the guy she has lots of ''physical chemistry'' with (translation: ''all we have in common is a mutual desire to have hot animal sex''); Ed is ''only about his career'' (translation: ''I'm worried he's going to make me an IT widow''); and Wes is ''far, far from perfect'' (translation: ''He's destined to make me miserable, which is exactly what I'm looking for'').

LOVE JUST DON'T COME SLEEZY
Bachelorette Jillian Harris eliminates Wes who admits he has a girlfriend
, http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/entertainment/story/770169.html
On Monday's "The Bachelorette" Jillian Harris sent Wes home after traveling to Spain with the four men competing for her attention and possibly her hand in marriage. Wes, a 32-year-old musician from Texas, had been accused of having a girlfriend back home and being on the show only to promote his music career.
"The first guy ever on 'The Bachelorette' to make it to the top four with a girlfriend," Wes congratulated himself in the limo ride away from Jillian. "My acting days are over. I've definitely gone as far as I could possibly have gone with Jillian."
A glass of beer in his hand, Wes was looking forward to his night, "Tonight I'm in Spain... I'm cutting off the chains...I'm a free man," Wes said. "I'm in Spain everybody's gonna know my name."
Before the rose ceremony, Wes had a message for the other guys. "If it's me, you boys know, I will be back home having lots of sex," Wes said.
"When I walked Wes down the stairs I knew I had made the right decision," Jillian said. "The bad boy is definitely gone."
Not gone are the final three men: Reid, a 30-year-old real estate agent from Philadelphia; Kiptyn, a 31-year-old California business developer and Ed, a 29-year-old technology consultant from Chicago.
Here's a recap of the show:
Wes was Jillian's final date on Monday's show. On a bike ride in Barcelona, Wes told Jillian he could see himself living in Spain. But later Wes seemed reluctant to consider living anywhere but Austin, Texas. Things got especially awkward when Jillian wanted details on what life with Wes would be like. Instead of setting up the scenario, Wes spilled a beer and was distracted by birds. "I definitely didn't feel romance," Jillian said. "I'm a little bit worried about Wes' lack of affection."

Chris Harrison blogs 'The Bachelorette': episode 8
by Chris Harrison
http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/07/chris-harrison-blogs-the-bachelorette-episode-8.html
Not sure if you guys know this about me but I'm a pretty big deal down in Chihuahua, Mexico. Wes is gone, Wes is gone. There are so many classic Wes moments and lines in this episode that I hardly know where to begin. Things obviously deteriorated pretty fast this week between Wes and Jillian and I know it was pretty obvious who was going home by the time we got to the rose ceremony, but it didn't matter because you knew Wes' ego wouldn't allow him to go quietly into that Spanish night. You just couldn't take your eyes off this Texas-sized dumpster fire.
The week started with Jillian meeting Kiptyn in Madrid. After watching Jill and Kiptyn do their own version of dancing with the stars we know this: Kiptyn can't really dance and he's circumcised. Geez, how tight were those pants? Everything is going smooth with Kip. One thing that seems to worry Jilli a little is that right now Kip doesn't seem all that enthused about proposing at the end of this and she is definitely looking for that. It's not a deal breaker by any means but as she said, it's an issue that will have to be addressed. After Kip, Jillian happened to run into Matthew Perry in Spain…wait. That's not Chandler, that's Reid. We learned on this date that Reid is large (Soy grande). I think Jillian and Reid's relationship has been fun to watch grow. They seem to complement and challenge each other well. Their relationship may have started slowly but over the last few weeks it has really picked up steam. Out of all the guys, Reid seems to be having the toughest time handling the fact that Jillian is dating other men at the same time. That's always tough for the guys and their egos. I did find it amusing when Jill asked Reid what he found hard about the fact that she's dating three other guys. What could he possibly have a problem with when he knows his girl friend will be making out with another man in about 12 hours? Bottom line though is Chandler…Reid is looming grande right now in Jillian's corazon (bet ya didn't think I knew French now, did ya).
After her day with Reid, Jillian was anxious to spend some much needed time with Ed. She took a huge leap inviting him back and really wanted to see if she made the right decision. About five minutes into their date you could tell they were going to pick up right where they left off in Canada. The chemistry between the two of them is undeniable. The one thing that was different about Ed's date was that Jillian accepted the fantasy suite card…kind of. With the other guys she emphatically turned down the fantasy suite, but with Ed she really wanted to use it to make up for lost time (clothes on!). You guys wouldn't believe the time it takes me to write those cards and then mail them to Spain. I'm thinking next season we go green and I'll just text them the fantasy suite option.
So, after Ed it was time to go and confront Wes. Let me start this off by giving you my true feelings as well as Jillian's side of the story -- something I really couldn't fully do until he was gone. Wes represented the kind of guy Jillian thought she would end up with when she came on this show. Because of that she really went the extra mile in giving him opportunities to prove himself. Contrary to what some of you might think, Jillian wasn't blind to all of Wes' antics. Yes, a lot of it she wasn't privy to, but obviously more than one guy told her what Wes was up to. I also think a big part of why she kept Wes so long was she was protecting him. Jillian cared about this guy and knew he'd been screwed over a lot in his life and right or wrong she didn't want to be another person to just walk away from him. Although I don't tell Jillian everything that goes on, we did have several heart-to-heart talks about all these guys on and off camera. She defended him a bit and I think the more people attacked Wes the more she wanted to prove them wrong. I know many of you wish she'd kicked him to the curb weeks ago but this was something she needed to figure out and handle in her own way and in her own time. Sure she could have done it sooner but the point is she did dump him and I think she handled herself well. Jillian truly believes Wes came on this show to promote himself and in the end she feels a little sorry for him.
Alright, enough of the serious stuff. Let's talk about my favorite Wes moments this week. This is a line every man should tell a woman whose heart he is trying to win: "I'm gonna be true to myself...numero uno is most important here." I really don't know why Jillian didn't drop to one knee and propose to him right then and there. Probably my favorite moment was after a really awkward moment, the fantasy suite card arrives. Now obviously the day has been just a bit less than romantic so when presented with the option to spend the night with her, Wes says...wait for it... "ummm, I think we should." Survey says...snowball's chance in hell!

JILLIAN HEATS IT UP IN SPAIN

This Monday on The Bachelorette, Jillian Harris says goodbye to North American dates for a romantic rendezvous in Spain.
She and the final four guys will go on romantic dates, and each will culminate in a fantasy suite (at Jillian's discretion).
The four remaining hopefuls are:
From the looks of the previews released by ABC, Jillian will get to the bottom of Wes Hayden's motives this week. He's been accused of being on the show solely to promote his music. But even worse, he was recently accused by fellow contestant Jake Pavelka of having a girlfriend at home.
According to the Citytv, the stops will be Madrid, Seville and Barcelona.

MICHAEL TALKS TO ET
'The Bachelorette''s Michael on the Show's Two Controversies
Copyright 2009 Craig Sjodin / ABC

http://www.etonline.com/news/2009/07/76028/
As the four remaining bachelors -- Ed, Kiptyn, Reid, Wes -- vie for "The Bachelorette"'s affections on tonight's episode, last week's eliminated bachelor, Michael Stagliano, talks to ET about the two big controversies.
First up, Michael addresses the issue of Ed, who left the show a while back citing "work" as the reason. Last week, he returned unexpectedly. He never did say whether or not his job was really in jeopardy, but, as a result, Jillian Harris had to eliminate two bachelors this week, instead of just one.
"I think during the Rose Ceremony, I honestly put my hand up to ask Chris Harrison, 'Is this legal? Doesn't this break the structure of the show?' I didn't really understand the concept of: 'Jillian, I am going to leave for a month and then I will be back and we will pick it up from there,'" Michael tells ET.

In a recent interview with People magazine's TV Watch, Tanner said, "Dallas is kind of the mecca for reality show junkies, and I've taken lots and lots of pictures with girls and their feet. They're like, 'Hey, how do you like my feet? Take a picture with me and my feet.' "

LATEST BACHELORETTE SPOILER
The latest Bachelorette "spoiler" - ABC claims Jill will get to "the heartbreaking truth"
by Jennifer Frase, http://www.examiner.com/x-4991-Reality-TV-Examiner~y2009m7d4-The-latest-Bachelorette
ABC has released two preview videos for the Bachelorette’s upcoming episode on Monday, July 6th. However, it’s all a bit shady because these two videos contradict themselves and show us just how much the editing can change this show (In case we all thought it was totally legit before).
The first video, shown below, touts that “Jillian will finally get to the heartbreaking truth”. They immediately show Wes saying the words, “I have a girlfriend.”
However, the second video, also below, tells a very different story. It shows a distressed Jillian, confused as to why Wes isn’t acting like he’s crazy about her (Newsflash Jill – ‘cause he’s not). She says, “Today when I saw him, and I’m in Barcelona with a guy that I should be falling in love for right now, our affection towards each other should have been a lot stronger. Wes is so distant…” If you can forgive the insane grammar (falling in love for?), she’s questioning his feelings for her.
After she mentions some “red flags” that have been raised, Wes says to her, “I don’t have a girlfriend…If I had a girlfriend, I would be gone. I would not still be here.” She replies, “All day today if you really were crazy about me, then you would’ve come up to me and you would’ve kissed me at least once today and you never.” His response? A simple and quiet, “I understand”.
(Side note: If you ask a guy why he doesn’t want to kiss you and he doesn’t know how to answer, he is definitely banging other chicks.)
Anyway, she again questions why Jake would talk to her about Wes’ mystery girlfriend, saying to him, “If you really are here for the right reasons, then why would Jake talk to me about somebody and then give a specific name?”
He replies, “Because I told him about her.”
But Jill demands, “What did you tell him? Tell me.”
Wes says, “I told him the whole story, I said, ‘you know, my girlfriend’, I mean, ex-girlfriend.”
It’s clear from this video that Wes is certainly not confessing he has a girlfriend. I’m not sure whether he has a girlfriend or not (Good God, do we even give a crap anymore?) What’s more important here is that Wes doesn’t like Jill. Plain and simple. He’s not into her, and that’s why he’s not being affectionate with her. He’s probably staying on the show to promote himself and his career, but I don’t think the girlfriend issue is the real heart of the matter.
The bottom line? Jill does get to the heartbreaking truth – it’s that Wes doesn’t really dig her.
What do you think? Is the first video completely edited? Does Wes' slip of the tongue (girlfriend, I mean, ex-girlfriend) in the second video mean anything? Does he love Jill? Let's hear it - leave a comment below!

He replies, “Because I told him about her.”
But Jill demands, “What did you tell him? Tell me.”
Wes says, “I told him the whole story, I said, ‘you know, my girlfriend’, I mean, ex-girlfriend.”
It’s clear from this video that Wes is certainly not confessing he has a girlfriend. I’m not sure whether he has a girlfriend or not (Good God, do we even give a crap anymore?) What’s more important here is that Wes doesn’t like Jill. Plain and simple. He’s not into her, and that’s why he’s not being affectionate with her. He’s probably staying on the show to promote himself and his career, but I don’t think the girlfriend issue is the real heart of the matter.
The bottom line? Jill does get to the heartbreaking truth – it’s that Wes doesn’t really dig her.
What do you think? Is the first video completely edited? Does Wes' slip of the tongue (girlfriend, I mean, ex-girlfriend) in the second video mean anything? Does he love Jill? Let's hear it - leave a comment below!

MICHAEL DEFENDS WES
The Bachelorette: Michael Defends Wes
Oh, sweet Michael. So young and naive to believe Wes.
Nice guys always finish last, right? The Bachelorette reject Michael Stagliano, who won hearts -- if not Jillian's -- with his heartbreakingly sincere exit speech on Monday, spoke to reporters this morning.
Do you really think that you fell in love with Jillian?
I think when you get out of the show, there's definitely a moment of, wait a minute. What was that? It's a hypersensitive situation to meet someone. Jillian's the only girl you see for six weeks. So that has to be stated, but to this day, I still think about her. I still could not say anything bad about her. I liked everything I got to see about her. Those are real feelings.
Do you think the age difference played a factor in her not choosing you?
She obviously talked to me about that directly a few times, but I'm telling you, I never felt like she was older than me. If anything, I thought, this girl's even goofier than I am. She's very young at heart. So I don't know. Can I ever say I felt like I needed to act more like a 30-year-old? No.
Do you still want to get married very young?
Absolutely, I still want to get married young. I want to have kids before I'm 30, and I want several years with my wife before that.
I do a few things. What paid the bills before I went on the show was bartending. I did some acting, I wrote a book. I sing and write songs. And then I've been getting a whole lot of modeling gigs, so that's kind of been paying the bills. Jack of all trades, master of nothing

Watching the last few episodes of “The Bachelorette” is a lot like being chauffeured around by Toonces the Driving Cat. Everything seems to be going smoothly, and then all of a sudden — LOOK OUT!! — Jillian steers her car off of an emotional cliff. This week, my dear friends, was no exception.
It's hometown week, and first, Jillian's off to Philadelphia to see Reid. She's squealy and excited to meet her coffee-bearing suitor, who's standing in front of some lovely flowering trees (magnolia? dogwood?) — but she's also nervous: ''Are Reid's parents going to like me, are they going to approve?'' Even in a new state, these two have nothing to say to each other. Their conversation goes something like this:

JAKE FOR NEXT BACHELOR!

With all the drama surrounding love searcher Jillian Harris , Wes Hayden and his alleged girlfriend Laurel Kagay, eliminated Bachelorette contestant Jake Pavelka has become quite a celebrity these days. Not only is he the guy who opened the can of worms and told Jillian about Wes ' shady intentions, but he's also the guy whom fans are rooting for to be next Bachelor.
WES IS PLAYING A LOVE SONG
Cleanup in Aisle Creep! The Bachelorette's current final-four contender Wes -- you know, the guy who during his confessionals has waxed poetic about how performing music in front of an audience is more of a turn-on than any woman or drug could ever be -- was apparently "truth"-telling when he insisted he did not have a girlfriend named Laurel while being meekly grilled by Jillian during last Monday's episode. Laurel (last name Kagay) tells People.com that she dated Wes for three years, until she caught him writing a steamy love letter to a major record label their relationship turned to friendship a year ago. For the record, Laurel has also dated Brad Womack (star of The Bachelor's 11th season) as well as Collin Evans, a contestant during The Bachelorette’s third season with Jen Schefft, notes People. (Not that I'm implying a fameosexual trend here or anything.)

JAKE SPEAKS ABOUT WES AND LAUREL
JAKE: WES AND LAUREL ARE STILL TOGETHER
via People Magazine, http://tvwatch.people.com/2009/07/02/the-bachelorettes-jake-wes-laurel-are-still-together/
Dallas pilot Jake Pavelka, 31, didn’t make a love connection with The Bachelorette’s Jillian Harris, but cared enough to crash Wes’s hometown date to confess what he knew about “Girlfriendgate.” He spoke with reporters about why he believes Wes had — and still has! — a girlfriend, who he thinks is right for Jillian and the possibility of starring on the next Bachelor. – Carrie Bell
Why did you come back?
A producer called me to see if I was doing okay because I took leaving hard and I broke down. [I said,] “I need to tell her some things. Any way I could talk to her again?” I ran through it and they made it happen. I was lying in bed every morning going, “I screwed up. I should have told her before I left.” I wanted to come back because I had information she needed to make the best decisions about the remaining guys and to be there for her. Now I sleep easy at night.
PEOPLE spoke to Laurel and she denied being together during taping. Do you stand by what you claimed, that Wes said he had a girlfriend?
I don’t believe it. I know it. Without a shadow of a doubt, he and Laurel were together. They’re still together. It’s an act and Laurel was in cahoots with him. They had an agreement to put their relationship on the back-burner so he could go on and sell CDs. His biggest fear was making it far enough to go on overnight dates because that wasn’t okay with Laurel. Evidently she cleared [him] to kiss. I’m a God-fearing man and if I am mistaken or he didn’t tell me that, God can strike me down with lightning right now.
Are you there?
Yeah. Still here! We had multiple conversations. He confided with me. He told me he loved [Laurel]. He said, “I’m going to break her heart. I’m going to bow out when the time is right.” This stuff came out of his mouth.
Do you think it’s possible that he is developing feelings for her as the weeks go on?
No. I think Wes’s motivation is to move CDs. Wes had her snowed. The girl loves country music and the man makes it so I can see how intriguing that would be.
Did you get along with Wes?
I don’t think he’s a bad guy. I don’t hate him. I’m hopeful at some point we can be friends. He’s probably having a hard time right now, but it’s hard to be sympathetic because he lied to my face and Jillian’s.
Have you regretted your decision to go Austin?
Absolutely not. I care about the girl. She’s looking to fall in love. With Wes, it was going to be an uphill battle. He won’t put a ring on her finger. I know that Jillian would have done that for me had the roles been reversed. I would have done [it for] Wes.

Laurel Kagay Revealed

The Bachelorette: Wes sings a different tune; 'Laurel' revealed
On Monday's episode of The Bachelorette, Jillian Harris — ignoring the better judgment of millions of viewers yelling "Noooooo" at their televisions — opted to keep that lyin', cheatin', song-writin' Wes Hayden around for another week. She didn't care that he had told Jake he had a girlfriend named Laurel, she said: She believed in her man.

She didn't care that he had told Jake he had a girlfriend named Laurel, she said: She believed in her man.
The man himself, a native of Austin, Tex., has now spoken out in his own defence. Horrified with the way the show has portrayed him, he broke his contractually mandated silence to speak to Dallas radio station KISX-FM, reports the website Examiner.com.
It was all in the editing, Wes insisted: "I can tell you that a lot of what was said was taken out of context with voiceovers on certain subject matters. For instance, when I said 'I could taste the fame, I could feel it,' when I heard that, I almost fell on the floor and had a heart attack. . . . The interviewer actually asked me what it was like when I was writing a song, the response was that I can taste it, and it comes inside of me, and then comes out on pen and paper."

Laurel Kagay: I am Not Wes Hayden's Girlfriend!
via: http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2009/07/laurel-kagay-wes-hayden-ex-girlfriend/
Austin, Tex., resident Laurel Kagay was just minding her own business and watching The Bachelorette Monday. Then suddenly, her name was mentioned.
In a hilariously staged return, ousted suitor Jake Pavelka came back to tell Jillian Harris that Wes Hayden, a remaining contender, had a girlfriend.
Her name is Laurel, Jake told Jillian and millions of viewers. Wes denied he is dating her. Jake ratted him out anyway. Laurel Kagay sat in shock at home.
“I was like, ‘What?’” Laurel told People in an interview today. “There was this pause before he said my name - and then he said it quite a few times.”
Laurel Kagay, owner of Peach Body Boutique in Austin, would like to clear the air on this topic, which has dominated the contrived Bachelorette for weeks.
She dated Wes Hayden for three years, but they are broken up, and have been for quite a while now. The two became strictly friends a year ago, she said.
“I’m absolutely not with Wes, nor would I be with Wes if he were going on a show to be with another girl,” she says. “That’s absolutely crazy.”
So how did Jake Pavelka get things mixed up?
Laurel Kagay insists that she and Wes Hayden - who has caught considerable flak for romancing Jillian Harris while supposedly dating Laurel - are not an item.
“And I think Wes did say something about his ex-girlfriend. Maybe he said he still cares about me or whatever. Maybe Jake blew that into something else.”
However, Laurel Kagay admits, “We are really good friends and we do go out to lunch together, so I could see how people could think we’re together.”
Oddly enough, Laurel is also linked to another famous name in The Bachelor franchise - Brad Womack, the Texan who chose no one on his season finale.
Laurel Kagay has also dated Collin Evans, who was briefly a contender on The Bachelorette’s third season with Jen Schefft. Sounds like she has a type!
WES HAYDEN AND LAUREL KAGAY SPEAK!
LAUREL KAGAY CLEARS UP RUMORS
by Darla Atlas, http://tvwatch.people.com/2009/07/01/the-bachelorette-wess-mystery-girl-speaks/
Austin resident Laurel Kagay was minding her own business and watching The Bachelorette on Monday when suddenly her name was mentioned, sparking one of the season’s most dramatic moments yet. Ousted suitor Jake had returned to tell Jillian that musician Wes still had a girlfriend named Laurel. Wes denied it; Jake stuck to his guns — and Laurel sat in shock at home.
“I was like, ‘What?’” Laurel, 29, tells PEOPLE. “There was this pause before he said my name — and then he said it quite a few times.”
But Laurel, who owns the Peach Body Boutique in Austin, would like to clear the air. Although she dated Wes for three years, she says their relationship turned to friendship a year ago. “I’m absolutely not with Wes, nor would I be with Wes if he were going on a show to be with another girl,” she says. “That’s absolutely crazy.”
So how did Jake get things mixed up? “I think he was definitely upset about not being on the show anymore,” she says. “And I think Wes did say something about his ex-girlfriend. Maybe he said he still cares about me or whatever. Maybe he talked a little too much about me, and Jake just blew that into something else.”
However, Laurel admits, “We are really good friends and we do go out to lunch together, so I could see how people could think we’re together.”

More Dirt on Wes & Laurel Speaks Out
The Bachelorette: Jake Spills
ABC/CRAIG SJODIN "Shall God strike me down with lighting if I am mistaken or he did not tell me that," former Bachelorette contestant Jake Pavelka told reporters this morning about his claims that fellow contestant Wes Hayden has a girlfriend.
For those coming in on this late, here's what's happening. On Monday night's episode (check out Trista Sutter's blog about it here), Jake returned to the show with the sole purpose of telling bachelorette Jillian Harris that Wes confided in him that he has a girlfriend. Jillian confronted Wes about it, in front of Jake, and Wes denied it. In the end, Jillian chose to believe Wes over Jake. And now all hell's broken loose.
Today, Wes' accuser speaks out and reveals more details to reporters about exactly what the Austin-based musician, who has been accused of being on the show to promote his new CD, told him. Meanwhile, the alleged girlfriend, Laurel Kagay, is setting the record straight on her own. Check out the drama…
ABC/KEVIN FOLEY What did Wes tell you?
The conversations that Wes and I had were not, 'Hey Jake, I got a girlfriend.' It was, 'Hey Jake, I got a girlfriend and I don't know what to do.' I said, 'Wes, are you in love with her?' I said, 'If you're not in love with her, you may fall in love with Jillian.' And, he said, 'No. Jillian is not the girl for me.' Wes was talking to me in the final episodes about going ahead and bowing out and getting out of the show. He had already gotten what he was looking for, to sell CDs.
How sure are you?
I know 100 percent without a shadow of a doubt that he and Laurel are together, and they were together during the show. I think it's all an act, and I think Laurel was in cahoots with him. I don't believe it. I know it. We had multiple conversations. It was a dialogue back and forth. He told me he loved her. And I said, 'Are you developing feelings for Jillian?' He said, 'She's just not the girl. I'm going to break her heart.' He said, 'I'm going to bow out when the time is right.'
Laurel's in cahoots with him?
Laurel was in cahoots with him. His biggest fear was he makes it far enough that they have to go behind closed doors [on an overnight date]. He was so worried about that because that wasn't going to be OK with Laurel, and this is the stuff that came out of his mouth. [Evidently] she's cleared [him] to kiss her.
Meanwhile, Laurel spoke out to People magazine backing up Wes' story that they did indeed date for three years, but the relationship turned to friendship a year ago. She told the magazine, "I'm absolutely not with Wes, nor would I be with Wes if he were going on a show to be with another girl. That's absolutely crazy. We are really good friends and we do go out to lunch together, so I could see how people could think we're together."
Unfortunately, Wes is still on The Bachelorette and is unavailable to the press to respond to Jake's new claims today.
Trista Sutter Blogs About The Bachelorette: Is Jillian Being Played?
Hal Horowitz/Getty Images Original Bachelorette Trista Sutter is putting her reality-TV experience to use for us here at Watch With Kristin, blogging about Jillian Harris' quest for the perfect guy. Take it away, Trista...
Yet another week of watching the latest lucky girl search for love on national television. As the first lucky girl to wear The Bachelorette shoes, I can certainly sympathize with Jillian Harris' position. Here's my humble opinion on last night's action...
Hometown dates start with Reid in Philly. Superhigh squeals from Jillian are a good sign of excitement, although I'm anxious to see if they are truly good signs or not. As they sit on a park bench in the city, awkward silence hits. Cringe-worthy for sure, especially when they fill it with a kiss. Another incredibly cringe-worthy moment was when Jillian kissed Reid during cake time (Happy Belated Birthday, Reid!). It was so uncomfortable!
Comfortable, though, was the time with his dad. He said, "Don't worry about what I think or what your mom thinks. If you're happy, go for it." Unconditional support is what a family should be about, and it seems like Jillian would be lucky to be part of that. They seem solid and supportive and drama-free. Some may say boring, but boring may just mean the show edited the laughter-filled parts out (like they did with Ryan's date to my dad's house on my season). Or it could mean they are the real deal and are purely grounded, happy people. Good either way, as that will be her reality if Reid is the final rose recipient. (Not sure I would bet on that, but as I've said before, I'm always wrong at guessing!)
Michael introduces Jillian to his mom, dad and identical twin brother in Valencia, Calif., after she releases her signature superhigh squeal when he opens the door. Gotta love the exuberance, although I feel sorry for the audio guy with the headphones on when she does that into her microphone. The date goes well, although I'm not sure how it couldn't with such a genuine, fun-loving family. His brother Steve helps her talk through the age concern she's feeling. He sets it straight that Michael wants to be a young husband, and she realizes that she'd rather be with someone who makes her laugh, than someone who was older just for age's sake. Good point. Good date.
Kiptyn welcomes Jillian to San Diego, and she lets out yet another signature superhigh squeal. Gorgeous scenery, gorgeous guy but not-so-gorgeous kiss. Ick! I realize Jillian may be into his reach-with-the-lips type of kissing, but I'd just rather not watch. Right away, Jillian is swept off to the backyard for a little humor and quite a bit of pressure. Humor comes from the yellow "caution" tape around the hot tub (love that she can laugh at herself!) And pressure came from their lasagna and fine wine test, which Jillian passes with flying colors. It seemed a bit unfair and condescending, if you ask me.
Then there was the time Jillian had with his mom. Ouch. Talk about tough! She did warm up, and they seemed to click over honesty and Kiptyn's happiness, but if I were in her shoes, I would've worried about future conflicts with her. Kiptyn's sister (of course, she's gorgeous), on the other hand, let it all out at dinner when she said, "Get this girl pregnant!" I love that sense of humor!
Jesse's family's winery is set in beautiful Carmel, Calif. The only thing missing from their hellos was Jillian's signature squeal. Not a good sign, although I'm sure the audio guy was thankful. There were the typical chats with mom and his brother, but the jam session was out of the ordinary. How much fun! Jesse is so on the top of my list. He is so articulate and calming, and I absolutely loved his brother.
ABC/KEVIN FOLEY Now, it's off to Austin to see the guy who "gets me the most," as Jillian says. Maybe Wes just did his homework and read all about her before he decided to blindside her for his career! Jillian squeals hello (yes, she did it for everyone but Jesse), and then he introduces her to his band. If only she could hear his personal interviews...ugh! I know the producers want it to be as authentic as possible, and I know it's hard to do when your dating life is being filmed and it started with 30 guys, and they don't want to interfere. But how do you not share with her that Wes' "ultimate goal" is for his new CD to do well and that not even a woman can give you the feeling you get when you are on stage? I just want to jump through the screen and strangle him. At the very least, I want to throw the guitar out of his hands and tell him that as a country music fan, I would never buy his music!
