And she didn’t go it alone. She had much love for besties Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus.

The Bachelor 2012 Ben Flajnik not man enough to keep up ratings?
Competing with new offerings from CBS and NBC, The Bachelor won a scant 7.7 million viewers for its season premier. Last year, Bachelor star celeb Brad Womack drew in 9 million viewers.

American Idol winner Scotty McCreery fan might not be a fan of the Denver Broncos, but he certainly had flattering things to say about Tim Tebow while he watched football on Sunday January 9th, 2012. Tebow’s name went on fire when presidential hopeful Rick Perry (the Governor of Texas) gave him big props during the presidential GOP debates a few weeks ago.
