Has The New <em>Bachelorette</em> Been Chosen Already?

Bachelor Juan Pablo's season may still be a few weeks — and crucial eliminations — away from its conclusion, but the reality franchise's production team have moved on to finding the forthcoming Bachelorette. The show now almost exclusively casts its leading men and women from the pool of existing contestants, even though that's a bit incestuous — and weird, because surely every new batch of hopefuls know they're competing for the heart and eternal love of someone who already tried for the heart and eternal love of someone else in turn. Why, you might even go as far as to consider that not everyone comes into the show hoping for a serious relationship!

Cynicism aside, the new Bachelorette has reportedly already been chosen. It's reportedly Andi Dorfman, according to prolific spoiler Reality Steve. The news will be revealed on the special Women Tell All bitchfest; Andi will reportedly start her season taping early next month.

Update: TMZ has a letter from Dorfman's boss at the district attorney's office in Fulton County, Georgia approving her for three months unpaid leave after her "highly unusual request" for time off. And what is The Bachelorette if not "highly unusual," after all?

3 Makeup Removers You Already Have In Your Home

It’s getting down-right nippy outside and the last thing you want to do is leave home to pick up beauty essentials that just ran out (ugh)! Well, we've got good news: You don't have to leave the house or suffer the pimply consequences of sleeping with your makeup on. Just head to the kitchen to find skin-friendly makeup removers that will keep your face gunk-free until you can pull yourself away from your Walking Dead binge-watching sesh.

Olive Oil: If your normal remover leaves your eyes stinging, olive oil is a great alternative. It's way softer on your peepers and easier on your skin, too! Dip a cotton ball into a cap-full of olive oil and swipe away your eye makeup.

Milk: Yep, milk! This breakfast staple is already used in loads of beauty products, because it has a soothing effect on dry, sensitive skin. Try mixing milk with a few drops of almond oil for best results (but plain works totally fine if that's all you have in the house!). Soak a cotton ball in moo juice, remove your makeup, and rinse your face with warm water.

Baby Oil: There's a reason why mom still keeps baby oil around. It's one of the best ways to remove a dark smoky eye or bold lip! Just apply with a cotton ball, and wipe away from the inner corner of your eye.

When You Just Want to Get Laid Already (And He Doesn't)

Here's a newsflash: Not everyone is having sex.

I'm not just talking about the people not in relationships (because, obvi, some of those people are doing the nasty).

But apparently there are many people in seemingly healthy relationships who aren't having sex or, at least, not that much sex.

A married couple on a new reality show on Bravo, Newlyweds: The First Year, got candid about their lack of together time in the bedroom, though—and, surprisingly, neither one of them seemed to care that much about bursting everyone's bubble.

"People are going to laugh at me for saying this and think I'm absurd, but I really feel like for us, sex is really just a bonus," Tina Sugandh, an Indian pop star, told People, about her husband Tarz Ludwigsen, and how their busy schedules keep them from...getting busy.

"Looks wear off. You just wake up going, 'Oh, there's my dorky husband.' America's so fixated on 'How many times are you doing it? Oh, my God, only once?' To each his own. I'm not judging."

But the problem is that...we all judge.

During a relationship in my mid-20s, when This-Could-Be-Mr.Right turned into This-Is-The-Guy-Who-Is-Not-Having-Sex-With-Me, the conspiracy theories started to fly.

"He's obviously gay," said one friend. "There's someone else," said another. And I'm pretty sure no one has ever Netflix'd He's Just Not That Into You in a five months' span more than I did.

As I knocked out each assumption about what could be driving him away from my bedroom, and settled into a (mostly) sexless existence, I came to realize that was just who he was. It was the first guy I had been with who didn't want to rip off a girl's clothes every second, and I felt really strange about it (not to mention horny as hell). But I'm not the only one who has dealt with this.

According to a recent survey of guys in Australia, 12 percent of men between the ages of 16 and 24 actually want LESS sex.

There's hope for frisky women out there, though: 31 percent of men in the same (rather young) age bracket said they want MORE sex (okay, that one is no surprise), and 57 percent of men between the ages of 35 and 44 said they also want to get it on more often.

Well, there we go. I just need to start dating older men, apparently.
