'Bachelorette' Ali Will Sport Converse on Wedding Day

By Michelle Ruiz Posted May 24th 2010 02:10PM

Clusters of candles, freshly-picked roses and massive amounts of champagne -- all of this romance can only mean one thing: 'The Bachelorette' premieres tonight on ABC with fan favorite Ali Fedotowsky as its leading lady. The token limos will deliver 25 dudes to Ali's doorstep in one of the most hotly-anticipated 'Bachelorette' shows ever -- but it won't go down without a scandal or two. We recently heard from Ali as she dished on TV-ex Jake Pavelka, the show's new twist, her fantasy suite experiences and why she'll wear some pretty casual kicks under her wedding dress.

The Jake Factor

Ali will come face-to-face with 'Bachelor' ex Jake Pavelka and his fiancee, Vienna Girardi, for the first time since last season's 'After the Final Rose' at tonight's taping of ABC's 'Dancing with the Stars.' In a conference call with reporters, Ali said she and the man who once made her sob in the limo really are done. "I don't think that I'm supposed to be with Jake," she said. "I think he found someone, and he's with Vienna. They're happy and I'm happy for them." Ali didn't chat with Jake or Vienna before embarking on her 'Bachelorette' experience -- which will take her to Iceland, Turkey, Portugal and Tahiti -- but she did call former 'Bachelorette' Jillian Harris for her words of wisdom. "Her advice was basically to make sure I had a lot of travel hairspray on hand while we were on the road."

Drama 'Rated-R'

Much like Jillian's season, which saw seedy country singer Wes duping Jillian for a little TV airtime, Ali said there will be drama during her adventure. According to the blogosphere, the scandal has to do with a professional wrestler named Justin Rego (stage name: 'Rated-R'), who allegedly has a girlfriend and is on the show for the dreaded "wrong reasons." "Justin seemed like a really sweet guy, and I didn't really know what to take from that," Ali said coyly. But she did hint that the other 24 guys gang up on him via the show's new twist -- a ballot box that allows the suitors to vote for their least favorite man. "I was shocked about the ballot box and I don't even know what to make of it ... At the end of the day, I remember thinking from my season that I thought I had a better idea of what girls are maybe there for the right and wrong reasons the first night than maybe Jake did." But will she reject Rated-R on the first night? We shall see.

One Love

She's looking for a guy who's funny, creative and "a little different," but Ali said she won't be one of those Bachelorettes who stares into the camera and claims she's in love with more than one guy. "Jake had a really big heart, and he had felt that he had fallen in love with more than one person ... for me, I don't feel like my heart is capable of loving more than one person," she said. That doesn't mean, however, that Ali only visited one hot-tub-filled fantasy suite. "It's a perfect opportunity," she said, to have "really intimate conversations" with her favorite bachelors. "I didn't get any sleep those nights because we were up talking all night." But don't look for Ali to be fantasy suite-hopping between hunky male model types. "I don't care about looks," she said. "For me, it's is he funny? Creative? I want the guy in the corner that no one notices, but I'll notice because there's something different about him."

Laid-Back Bride

Her lips are sealed, of course, but if Ali did find "The One" on 'The Bachelorette,' she probably won't be planning an ultra-pink million-dollar TV wedding like Trista Sutter and Molly Malaney. "I have never in my life thought about what my wedding would be like," she said. "I don't like to be all glammed up." She may have to change that to adapt to rose ceremony cocktail attire, but at her wedding, the California girl said her style will be all her own. "I want my hair to be really natural and I plan on wearing Converse under my wedding dress."

By WHAT?

You are so happy for her to get her chance????? Her chance at what? Anohter 15 minutes of fame in the spotlight which is exactly what she wanted.
Her career meant so much to her that she gave up Jake to go back to her career, now all of a sudden her career doesn't matter anymore. No, she's not fake. Her new career is her face being on TV that is what matters to her and noting else.

By Tracey

Ali is anything but fake.

By wrong

There is not a real bone in her body. Look up FAKE inthe dictionary and you see Ali's picture.

So true. The only shows they have that feature black women as as bachelorettes are shows that cast men and women who act ridiculous and don't portray reality, only sterotypes.

By Sylvia

What makes you think that all "white" women have blue eyes and fake boobs? If it bothers you so much don't watch it...I'm so sick of people pulling the "race" card...get over it. Don't you have a channel just for you..I beleive its call BET...go watch it.

By gbtw

wow. too bad there isn't a RET channel for you to watch. (racist entertainment.)

By Dave

Sylvia, you and Marsha are BOTH unmitigated, illiterate jerks and make anyone with half a brain feel ashamed that our country can produce idiot, hill-billy bigots like the two of you.

By Angry

People like YOU are why racism is still thriving! I've seen plenty of FAT blondes, as well as black and hispanic people with blonde hair who are skinny with fake tits! As for them being a "Bachlorette", did you ever realize that the girls chosen for the show are always the one "The Bacholor" gets rid of in the end? And there has never been a black or hispanic girl in the top 4, so maybe thats why too. I just don't understand why the race card always has to be pulled. The world walks on eggshells as not upset anyone who isn't white. Yet still all anyone can ever say when a white person is chosen for something is that it's rascist. She was chosen cause she got the shaft from that guy and everyone felt bad for her, not because shes white, or blonde, or thin! And BTW.... Her eyes are BROWN!!!

I think you need to spend more of your time & energy learning how to spell!!

By jeff

You are correct sir...

By Mary

It does not matter to me what the Bachelorette looks like, blonde, blue eyes and breast implants!!!! This particular Bachelorette, Ali, I do not wish on any of the Bachelors. I watched last season with Jake and Ali had a evil, jealous, side to her and made catty, snide, remarks every time she was in the same room with Vienna. Any guys seeing that side of her might wish to rethink being on this show.

By Kay

Mary....I couldn't agree with you more. I don't like Ali at all but I love the show and will tune in.

By Bravo

Finally someone else who sees Ali for what she really is. Where the heck do they get in this story that she is America's favorite. They could not be more wrong. She is a self centered attention seeker. And in they state that she said she does not like to get all glammed up. Who are they kidding. Did any of them watch last season??????????????? As for her not wanting a big TV wedding, get real, she probably already signed a contract that if this does pan out she will have the glitziest wedding going. OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE.............

By Linda

I agree, I enjoy the show but as for Ali she is a trouble maker and if I was a guy I wouldn't want her she caused issues with Vienna. I'm glad Jake picked Vienna. Perfect and happy couple.

this girl is a hideous monster. and, give me a break with the 'don't like glam' thing- being that her eyebrows are waxed within an inch of her life, she dyes her hair blonde, is constantly fake tanned, and wears a healthy amount of makeup at most times- particularly the black eyeliner. this converse at my wedding thing is just another foolish "this is how i want people to see me" thing. ali, doll, some of see you for exactly what you are. a hideous mean monster who tears down any other woman that gets something you want. you're an uptight beast, and putting on a pair of converses ain't gonna change that. you need to take a deep look at yourself and your egocentric conniving and mean ways.

gbtw's real name is Vienna.
