  • Trista Sutter Explains Why ‘
    Celebrity News: Trista Sutter Explains Why ‘The Bachelorette’ Has More Success Than ‘The Bachelor’ By Diana Iscenko In the latest celebrity news, Trista Sutter, the first Bachelorette, revealed why The Bachelor has less success than its female-led spin-off. On a recent episode of UsMagazine.com’s “Here For the Right Reasons” podcast, Sutter explained why “women do it better.” The reality TV star claims a season’s success is based on how well it was cast and how open the lead is to finding love on the show. Sutter also acknowledges how easy it is to “get caught up in the lust factor.” In the franchise’s history, sixBachelorettes are still with their season’s winner, while only one Bachelor is married to his season’s winner. Several Bachelors have ended up with someone from their season after proposing to someone else. In celebrity news, Trista Sutter opens up about why The Bachelorette has more success stories than The Bachelor. What are some ways to tell the difference between lust and love? Cupid’s Advice: The start of a new relationship is exciting! It’s easy to get swept up with a new partner, but are you excited for the right reasons? If you’re not sure if you’re in love or in lust, Cupid has some advice for you. 1. You enjoy talking to them: Anyone in a new relationship will want to see their partner, but talking over the phone consistently might show that there’s a deeper level of connection. If you only talk to your new partner while seeing them in person, love may be taking a backseat to lust.

  • The Bachelor's Whitney Bischoff Reveals She Froze Her Eggs Two Years Before She Even Met Her Fiancé Chris Soules!
    NEWS/ The Bachelor's Whitney Bischoff Reveals She Froze Her Eggs Two Years Before She Even Met Her Fiancé Chris Soules! ABC/Nicole Kohl The Bachelor's Whitney Bischoff and Chris Soules haven't even set a wedding date, but one of them is already thinking about kids. In fact, Bischoff has been thinking about motherhood before they even met. Bischoff, a 29-year-old Chicago-based fertility nurse, revealed that she froze her eggs at age 27. Talking to ABC News correspondent Linsey Davis, she said, "The hope is that you don't have to use them. You know? I mean, that's the whole point of an insurance policy. You don't ever want to have to use it. But if you need it, that's when, it's there," she in the Good Morning America interview, which aired Thursday. Bischoff underwent vitrification, a process in which fertile eggs are collected and frozen rapidly and stored for future use. The process can cost anywhere from $8,000 to $14,000, in addition to yearly fees. "Every woman should have the option and the education of what the scenario is and what the options are with regard to egg freezing," said Dr. Brian Kaplan, a fertility specialist at aParent IVF. "I think it's applicable to any woman in her 20s or 30s who's thinking forward about her fertility potential and that wants to sustain her reproductive age, because there's such a drop-off in pregnancy rates as women get older." Colleen Coughlin, the clinic's founder and director, told Davis that while "there are many advanced-age women that can get pregnant," many "keep having miscarriages." But, according to Coughlin, "By freezing the egg while that woman is younger, we increased the chance of finding a healthy egg, health meaning that the overall quality is good, and the chromosomes within it are stable and they're normal." Working at the fertility clinic was an eye opener for Bischoff.
