JERRY'S
BROTHER THE NEW "BACHELOR"? (updated
2/21/05)
2/15/05
E!
Online's "Watch With Kristin" has confirmed the rumor originally
printed in the National Enquirer - apparently Charlie O'Connell is currently
filming the new season of ABC's "The Bachelor" (Thanks to
Tracey for the heads up). Here is the scoop from Eonline.com:

BREAKING
BACHELOR SCOOP: My sources tell me the next Bachelor has been chosen,
and the lucky guy is none other than Charlie O'Connell, the occasional
TV and film actor, whose brother is Jerry O'Connell, star of Crossing
Jordan and Rebecca Romijn's current squeeze. According to my sources,
Charlie shot scenes for the ABC reality series this week in Montauk,
New York, where his parents have a home. But is the 29-year-old ladies'
man ready to settle down? In my column that launches Saturday, I've
got details on that, plus, more juicy Bachelor and Bachelorette scoop,
including the lowdown on Meredith and Ian's breakup and why Jen might
not be in love. See you then!

Feb. 18, 2005
The Next
Bachelor Is a "Celebrity": Either Charlie O'Connell has
lost his mind and thinks he's the new Bachelor, or he has lost his
mind and is the new Bachelor. That's what I can tell you after a good
friend spotted the single guy in Montauk, New York being followed
by a camera crew over the weekend. Charlie--to refresh your memory--is
a TV and film actor (Cruel Intentions, Without a Trace) and also the
brother of Crossing Jordan star (and Rebecca Romijn squeeze) Jerry
O'Connell. When asked by my friend what he was doing, C.O'C. straight
out spilled it: "I'm the next Bachelor."
Sources close
to the show confirm it's true, that Charlie is the next guy to choose
the one lucky woman out of 25, whom he'll ultimately drop like a hotcake
and embarrass in the national press. I'm told producers had been looking--for
months--for either a doctor or a "celebrity or someone with a
celebrity angle" under 30 to be the next big B and landed on
Charlie. ABC believes him to have just the right charisma to bring
the show back to its former Trista-like ratings of yesterseason. (Word
is he also can walk on water and make the blind see.)
But why Montauk?
Those in the know tell me Charlie's parents, Ma and Pa O'Connell,
have a home there, and that Charlie spends his summers there teaching
sailing to kids, mixing drinks at a local bar and dating the ladies.
So, is the
29-year-old Bachelor finally ready to settle down? Possibly, but someone
in Charlie's camp tells me he's more likely to be doing the show for
the fame. "He's just come out of a relationship, and I'm pretty
sure he's just doing this for the fun--and the press," she says.
Shocking,
I know. All the previous Bachelors seemed so genuine. Still, of course,
I'll be watching every single second. Charlie likes to party, my friends,
and this could be the best Bachelor yet.
Now, as coinky-dink
would have it, host Chris Harrison was also "on the East Coast"
Tuesday regarding the upcoming finale. I've said it before, and I'll
say it again--Chris is one of the most charming, witty and loved guys
in Hollywood, but all that ass-kissery got me precisely nowhere when
I asked about the Charlie rumor. "That would be interesting,
but I have no idea," he says. "Sorry!"
Humph. It's
a good thing that guy is so entirely un-hateable.
This
is the
original report from the National Enquirer. Althought he Enquirer is
far from a reputable news source (stories include "Ashley Olsen
Caught in Drug Scandal" and "Coma Patient Wakes Up After Boss
Orders Him Back To Work"), perhaps they are right about Charlie's
current project?
Thanks
to Linda in the Jerry O'Connell Fan Forum for the news.

National
Enquirer Feb 21, 2005 - pg 16
Run
for cover; ladies!
New "Bachelor" just isn't the marrying kind
Look
out, ladies! The new "Bachelor" is a Hollywood playboy who
likes to party - but has no intention of getting married... rose or
no rose.
This
handsome hunk is a 29-year-old actor who just broke up with his girlfriend
and vowed he won't get tied down again. But he's looking for a way
to get national exposure.
And
what better way than to date a bunch of beautiful women on "The
Bachelor"?
Once
again, The Enquirer has learned who allegedly will try to find his
bride among 25 hopefuls when the popular show returns in March. If
you don't want to know who he is, read no further.
The
new bachelor is Charlie O'Connell, an actor who has been seen in several
films including "Dude, Where's My Car?" and "Cruel
Intentions."
"Charlie
is a really nice guy but he just broke up with his longtime girlfriend
- who doesn't know he's going to be the next 'Bachelor'," revealed
a close friend. "Charlie is just looking to have a good time
while getting more exposure on national TV."
ACTING
FAMILY
The
new bachelor and his older brother Jerry O'Connell, star of "Crossing
Jordan," live in Los Angeles.
Charlie
was a drama major at New York University and used to consider TV beneath
his acting abilities, say sources. However, after appearing as a gangster
on "Sliders" in 1996 with his brother, who was one of the
producers, he decided he liked performing on TV.
"He
definitely will bring a lot of excitement to 'The Bachelor' because
he adores beautiful women and love to party," said his friend.
"Charlie
likes to drink and dance, so he'll probably have the ladies in the
pool or hot tub in every episode.
"He
is also a handsome guy whose acting career is on the rise, so there
will probably be a lot of catfights between the women - and he'll
love it!"
As
a child, Charlie was nicknamed "Upchuck" by his brother
because he was a little overweight, but those days are behind him.
Dashing and athletic, he's handy with a sword - having captained NYU's
fencing team and competed in the NCAA championships.
LATE
START
A
show source told The Enquirer, "We got off to a very late start
picking the bachelor this time, partly because of concern that Charlie
is not really the marrying kind. He's more of a partyer, and behind
the scenes he's referred to as 'Good-Time Charlie.' "
The
show has a less-than-successful record in the love department. None
of the "Bachelor" couples have gone on to get married, or
even stayed together very long.
NO
EXPECTATIONS
"Some
people on the show wanted to go for a lower-key regular guy, but they
decided to go with Charlie instead, even though no one expects to
see a happy ending and wedding come out of the upcoming season,"
confided the show insider.
Picking
a heartthrob bachelor with a bit of celebrity glamour is part of the
strategy to make female viewers' hearts melt and boost sagging ratings.
Among
other bachelor candidates considered were Jeff Timmons of the pop
band 98 Degrees and former "Save By The Bell" star Mario
Lopez, recently divorced from TV personality Ali Landry.

In New York City for Olympus Fashion Week, Jerry O'Connell, 31, was
hanging backstage at the February 4 Perry Ellis show (the Crossing
Jordan star models for the line) when he got word that girlfriend
Rebecca Romijn, 32, was on her way. "He got so excited he ran
out to meet her," says a source. (O'Connell got there just in
time to open the car door.) Later, at the February 6 Luca Luca show,
the Big Apple native said it was good to be back. "I get to see
a lot of old friends," he told Us between cuddles with Romijn.
"We're happy to be here."

Apple has
four retail stores in the Los Angeles area, which give the sales associates
ample opportunity to rub elbows with Hollywood celebrities. It isn't
always pleasant.
Out of respect
for the celebrities' privacy, Apple forbids the stores' sales associates
from talking to the press. But that hasn't stopped several staffers
from sharing their celebrity anecdotes with Wired News -- stories
that reveal Tinseltown's good, bad and ugly.
... Another
associate said trying to explain wireless networking to actor Jerry
O'Connell was "quite the ordeal" because he had "no
clue" what Wi-Fi was, but he was friendly and thankful.
In fact,
staffers said most stars who come into stores are nice and friendly.

Love
scene `Crossing'? O'Connell ready for some `Jordan' action
By Amy Amatangelo
Sunday, February 13, 2005
There
are three questions Jerry O'Connell, who stars as Detective Woody
Hoyt on ``Crossing Jordan'' (tonight at 10 on WHDH, Ch. 7), always
gets when he runs into fans: ``Are you the fat kid from `Stand By
Me'?'' ``Why did you leave `Jerry Maguire'?'' And ``When are you going
to hook up with Jordan?''
Finally, in tonight's episode, Woody and Jordan (Jill Hennessy) will
get a little closer to the romance the show has been hinting at for
years.
``I think I'm going to get me a little bit of Jordan,'' O'Connell
said during a recent telephone interview. ``I hope it happens this
season. I hope it does. I would personally like to film a sex scene
with Jill Hennessy. I have a girlfriend that I love very much, and
(Hennessy) has a husband that she loves very much, and it's sort of
like getting to do something without getting into trouble.''
But it's O'Connell's off-screen love life that is making the headlines
of celebrity gossip magazines. The actor has been dating actress Rebecca
Romijn (``X-Men'').
``The tabloid attention is something new,'' he said. ``You know, I
just don't pay attention to it. You can't help but pick it up when
you're in your dentist office, but other than that I think it's best
not to really think or worry about that stuff because when you start
worrying about what other people say, you're doing something wrong.
I do want to say that I love Rebecca very much. She's a big part of
my life, and I can't get enough of her.''
O'Connell's transition from child actor to adult actor was fairly
smooth.
``I think it had a lot to do with my parents. They never really took
that kid actor stuff serious. It was always an extracurricular activity.
When I went to go do `Stand by Me,' my father convinced me that the
movie was never going to be released and I shouldn't tell anybody
at school because the movie is probably never going to come out. I
think a lot of kids come out to L.A. right after high school, or some
of them don't even go to high school, and as silly as high school
and college seem, they give you more than just a book education, they
give you a general life education.''
During his freshman year at New York University's Tisch School of
the Arts, O'Connell watched the 1986 movie ``Stand By Me'' in one
class.
``In the class, the professor was talking about the rain in a certain
scene and how it represents a rebirth, and I remember thinking it
just happened to rain that day we were shooting the scene. Rob Reiner
never uttered the words `rebirth' or `Christ figure' when we were
making this.''
It was O'Connell's college buddy Damon Lindelof, then a writer on
``Crossing Jordan'' and now executive producer on ``Lost,'' who persuaded
him to come on the NBC drama in 2002.
``I came on for an episode in between doing a couple of movies. They've
always been trying to get me to sign on, and last year I signed on
for good. I mostly signed on for good because the roles I was being
offered in the movie world were kids' movies. After I did `Kangaroo
Jack,' I was getting a lot of offers for kids' movies, and I sat down
with my agents and said, `What is the most adult offer I have on the
table?' And they said, ` ``Crossing Jordan.'' It's the only one where
you'll get to wear a suit every day.' I genuinely like this job. I
really like Jill Hennessy. She's a terrific, terrific woman. She's
super cool.''
O'Connell's brother Charlie will guest star in an upcoming episode
as Woody's brother.
``He comes to town, and he's got a sort of checkered past. It's a
pretty cool episode. I got into a big fight scene with him. My parents
came to visit, and my mother said, `You guys are such good actors,
I would think you were really fighting.' ''
Next up for O'Connell are two independent movies: ``Man About Town''
with Ben Affleck and ``The Alibi.'' He also will continue to write
screenplays. Last year's ``First Daughter'' was based on a script
that he wrote. After filming a recent crossover episode with pal Josh
Duhamel on ``Las Vegas,'' he's thinking about writing a script for
both of them.
And he's slowly beginning to accept a certain baseball loss.
``I am originally from New York City. I just want to say for the record
that people from New York are coming to a) accept it and b) live with
it.''

NBC'S
HIT DRAMA SERIES "CROSSING JORDAN" OPENS UP ITS CASE FILES
WITH NEW INTERACTIVE WEB BLOG LAUNCHING FEBRUARY 13
BURBANK,
Calif. -- February 7, 2005 -- NBC's hit drama "Crossing Jordan"
breaks new ground on the Internet as it launches an interactive web
blog that will allow viewers the chance to use their forensic and
investigative skills as they attempt to solve a "cold case"
from the series' Boston Coroner's Office.
The
website -- www.nigelblog.com -- will go live on the World Wide Web
on Sunday, February 13, coinciding with an original episode of the
series airing that night. In the episode, Nigel (Steve Valentine)
will announce the new website, where he's posted old unsolved murder
cases in the hopes of gaining a fresh perspective from bloggers.
Focusing
on a triple homicide, the blog will include forensic evidence, autopsy
results and police reports on "The Beacon Hill Murders,"
which involved the slaying of three women in the city's famed Beacon
Hill area.
After
the initial unveiling of the site in February, new information will
continue to be posted on the blog (despite any possible scheduling
interruptions) with Nigel and other "Jordan" characters
interacting with viewers as they share their ideas on the investigation.
Clues regarding information crucial to the case will be included in
three episodes of the series airing March 6, 13 and 20 -- with the
conclusion being revealed at the end of the month.
Beginning
with the Blog posting on March 4, viewers will be offered a "reward"
for helping solve the murder case and those who correctly answer online
questions about the clues provided will be entered to win a Crossing
Jordan prize package. Five winners will be randomly chosen out of
correct entries once the case is solved on 3/22.
"Crossing
Jordan" is from Tailwind Productions in association with NBC
Universal Television Studio. Tim Kring (NBC's "Providence")
is creator and executive producer; Dennis Hammer and Allan Arkush
are executive producers.
NEW

In the February
13 episode "You Really Got Me," the suicide of a one-armed
Boston man leads Jordan (Jill Hennessy) to uncover the missing murder
weapon from an eight-year-old Los Angeles homicide after which she
helped send the alleged killer to Death Row. However, with five days
to go before the execution, Jordan and Woody (Jerry O'Connell) head
to L.A. hoping to find evidence that will save an innocent life.
Elsewhere,
when the body of a vagrant whom Bug (Ravi Kapoor) witnessed kidnapped
ends up in the morgue, the troubled scientist teams up with Detective
Roz Framus in his search for answers. Miguel Ferrer, Kathryn Hahn
and Valentine also star.

JERRY'S
THE ONE
REBECCA ROMIJN-STAMOS turned up to the Luca Luca show on Sunday night
with her new man, Jerry O'Connell, in tow. Having first appeared in
the tabloids on the arm of ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, O'Connell
has recently been open about his plans to marry Stamos. "This
girl is the best," he said. "I love her to death."
Rebecca, meanwhile, thinks he is just as perfect. "When you meet
a guy like Jerry, you don't need to look any further," she said.
Meanwhile her ex-husband, John Stamos, has been extolling the virtues
of going out with "real women". "I've gone out with
some waitresses lately and I went out with a nurse," he told
WENN. "I think that's probably my route; someone who is inspired
and non-jaded and that's what's interesting about regular real girls.
I have so much to offer as far as my life. I met this girl and we
went to DisneyWorld and we didn't have to stand in line and she was
just so excited! That made me so happy that she wasn't jaded. That's
a road that I want to be on." (February 8 2005, AM)
