Former Bachelor star Andrew Firestone is a new dad! He and wife Ivana welcomed a baby boy, Adam Brooks, early this morning. The newborn, who weighed 8 lbs., was named after Firestone's father, Brooks.

"Ivana and my son are doing well," he tells Us magazine. "Everyone is healthy and happy. I am ecstatic about being a father."

Firestone was previously engaged to Jen Shefft, whom he met and proposed to on the third season of The Bachelor. He publicly criticized the most recent Bachelor, Jason Mesnick, for his on-air breakup with fiancée Melissa Rycroft.

Congratulations to the new parents! Don't let your baby boy grow up to be a Bachelor.

When Bachelors Attack: Andrew Firestone Calls Jason Mesnick an Ass

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 14:35:00 GMT

Bachelor fight! Former Bachelor Andrew Firestone is calling out Jason Mesnick for his behavior on the show's finale, where he unceremoniously dumped fiancé Melissa Rycroft for Molly Malaney. I'm dying to see what happens when two reality show stars come to blows. Is there oil wrestling involved? A strip-off? Does it get any hotter than this?

In an interview with US magazine, Firestone doesn't hold back when talking about Mesnick's actions. "If he didn’t have his mind made up, don’t do anything," Firestone says. "Don’t feel that you are so pressured into having to propose or make a decision. There’s no reason that you have to do anything, especially if you’re so torn that you’re crying like a little girl on that balcony.

"He was faking it so much that he was crying uncontrollably and then [showed] uncontrollable elation, so he was either lying to one or the other, convincingly," he said. (Um, hello - did somebody mention 'staged'?)

Firestone added that he felt Mesnick ending his engagement in public was inappropriate. "Don’t drag the poor girl on national TV. I think the main thing, you’ve got to act like a gentleman."

"I think it’s a front -- him crying. I think it’s so much more calculated," Firestone went on. "But he always tried to be the guy next door. I don’t even know what his motivation was, whether it’s being on TV or whatever it is."

(I have to agree with Firestone here. I don't even watch the show, but Mesnick reeled me in with the whole sensitive, single-dad thing. And what parent wouldn't be pulling for a guy who was just trying to provide a loving home environment for his kid? Or, so he said.)

Firestone says Mesnick "was acting like an ass" during the finale and After the Rose special.

"I thought it was super shady that Jason has one girl on and then he did the squirmy, puppy dog kind of thing," Firestone says. "Melissa goes walking off and then the other girl comes on, and he’s sheepish and making out with her. Come on.

"He keeps saying, 'Oh, nobody knows what it’s like,' but ... nobody would put themselves in those shoes. Those are shoes that nobody wants to wear. He can keep saying, 'Oh, you’re not in my shoes.' Well there’s a reason for that, because I choose not to put those shoes on."

I think I get the picture, Andrew - no stinkin' shoes for you.

Bachelor No More- Love, Marriage, Baby Carriage

trix — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 11:21:00 GMT

Former Bachelor Andrew Firestone got married in July and now has a baby on the way.

Wow! That was super fast.Were they expecting to get pregnant so soon?

Andrew told US Magazine in an interview, "As soon as we got married we wanted to start [trying] and we were very blessed and God willing, we were able to make it happen soon after the wedding!" They even think the baby may have been conceived while the were on their honeymoon in Mexico.

The couple, who dated since 2005, is super excited. He told US how they found out, he said Ivana "had a feeling in the middle of the night so she got up and she took the pregnancy test and then came and jumped on the bed, screaming and yelling. We ended up staying up the rest of the night, laughing and talking about it."

That's cute! Wait till they've both been awake all night with a crying baby, they won't be laughing about it then.

Maybe later, but definitely not then. Not that it's not worth it!

Get Real: Is There A Trista And Ryan Sutter Divorce Ahead?

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 04:52:00 GMT

Just as word was getting out about Trista and Ryan Sutter's new reality show, comes rumor that the two are about to divorce.

The couple, who met on the reality TV show The Bachelorette, wed in 2003 and have a son Maxwell, 10 months.Trista recently revealed that they were trying to have another child. “It took us two years to get pregnant with Max,” she said. “It’s okay if it takes us that long again, but we’d rather have them closer in age. We’ll see!”

Doesn't sound like a couple headed for splitsville, but then again I already bought George Clooney and Sarah Larson a wedding gift.

The Sutter's reality show, which is reportedly being developed with Martha Stewart, is still in the planning stages.“The details are still being hashed out, but it has to do with fixing up houses,” Life and Style magazine reports.

If things don't work out with Martha I'm sure E! is already working on a reality show built around Ryan and Trista's custody battle for little Mawell.
