The Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky, whose season premiered last night, says she’s no longer feuding with nemesis Vienna Girardi. All together now … Phew.

Chris Harrison, the show’s pimp-in-chief, confirmed the hatchet burying at Dancing With the Stars (which aired right after The Bachelorette season premiere).

The two ladies, who famously clashed on The Bachelor while in competition for Jake Pavelka, even “hugged each other and, said ‘Hi,’” back stage at the taping.

“That’s one of the ways Ali has grown as a person,” Chris said.

What, by not being a completely catty b!tch? Great job, Ali!

The Bachelorette star Ali, left, and The Bachelor winner Vienna … yeah.

Back in the day, Ali Fedotowsky would call out Vienna Girardi for, among other things, bragging that she’d “shake her boobs in Jake’s face,” but not any longer.

“[Ali] regretted some of that,” Harrison added. “I get it. Look, in the heat of the moment, on the show, you say some things, you regret certain things, there are things you look back and might not do and that was one of them. She apologized for that.”

Fedotowsky is “so happy for Jake,” Harrison went on about the new star. “She realizes now that it wasn’t meant to be, she wasn’t supposed to be with Jake.”

Harrison said he thinks Vienna Girardi got a bad rap as the villain on the show, and that anyone writing her off is presumptuous. Can’t we all just get along?

Apparently we can/ Jake Pavelka even posted a pic on Facebook of him, his fiancee and Ali. Oh, how times change (click here to be THG’s Facebook friend).

Get better soon.

Good luck on Celebrity Apprentice!

Wear a condom!

Ever since his April 21 brain hemorrhage, Bret Michaels has been besieged by well wishes from his ever-growing fan base. Now, though, the recovering rocker – and reality show champion! – has a message for his followers: thank you.

On the rocker’s Facebook page, he’s written:

With all of my heart, soul and the remaining organs I have left (lol) I would like to thank each and every one of you for all of your support and awesomeness. All the good vibes and well wishes gave me the strength to go back to New York and win Celebrity Apprentice. I am not at 100% yet but I have every intention of trying to continue the tour starting Friday in Biloxi.

I hope to see your rockin rollin, smiling faces on the road… that is the best medicine I can think of right now. You rock my world.

Bret is scheduled to undergo surgery in the fall to fix a hole in his heart, so we have three responses to his posting:

1. You’re welcome.
2. Put your health first.
3. Wear a condom.

Chances are, you haven’t heard of Nicky Holender. But you’re very familiar with his client base.

This personal trainer is responsible for the physiques of Kendra Wilkinson, Melanie Brown, Chris Harrison and other celebrities so famous they’ve made him sign confidentiality agreements that keep their names a secret.

How does he motivate these stars? And what’s the deal behind his upcoming Kendra DVD (No, not that one!)? We spoke with the former professional soccer player today and asked him about society’s weight loss craze, among other topics…

THG: Why do tabloid covers hyping various weight loss achievements sell so well?
Holender: Weight loss is a goal a lot of people strive for. The general public struggles with weight for lots of reasons, such as bad eating and inactivity. They want to know: Is it possible to get in shape? How is it possible? These stories help with that.

THG: What’s your approach when meeting a new client?
Holender: I give then a nutritional plan and I determine their energy expenditure. I always ask myself: How can I get their bodies in balance? For the most part, one’s body wants to remain as it is. My job is to push it someplace it doesn’t naturally want to go.

THG: Is it difficult to motivate celebrities that aren’t used to being bossed around?
Holender: It’s easier. Most of these people have gotten to where they are in life through hard work. They know what’s expected of them and don’t shy away from it.

THG: Tell us about your upcoming Kendra workout DVD.
Holender: It comes out in July and focuses on people, such as new mothers, that have been away from training for awhile. We try to make working out fun by incorporating five sports into the routines. It’s a 48-minute cardio workout that keeps the heart rate elevated at all times and burns calories.

THG: Do you have any other projects in the works?
Holender: Mel B. and I are coming out with an exercise product. Patent is pending, so I can’t reveal a lot about it. But it will target women’s booties. There will eventually be an accompanying DVD.

THG: So, no Chris Harrison DVD then?
Holender [laughs]: Funny you say that. He’s known as the host of The Bachelor and all that, but Chris is taping a talk show pilot soon and I’ll be his fitness expert on it. He’s also a really good soccer player and one of the strongest people I train.

We’d like to thank Holender for his time. You can visit nickyholender.com to find out more about this trainer. Now, go hit the gym, people!

Yup. No friends. Those are her own words. CAPS LOCK and all. Heidi Montag channeled her inner Kanye today in a Twitter rampage against peeps masquerading as such.

Specifically, “the ones who are pretending to be ‘friends’ or ‘family,’ [who are] are crazy, angry, broke, and bitter.” This is why “they haven’t been in my life for years!“

The fired-up Tweets came just a week after an emotional episode of The Hills where Montag told Kristin Cavallari her life was “really hard” without friends and family.

Hey, at least she has Spencer Pratt … if that’s even a positive thing. It’s probably the biggest reason why SHE HAS NO FRIENDS when you stop and think about it.

Besides, there must be someone out there she can talk to. Come on, Heidi. Keep your fake chin up. We highly doubt your Twitter and Facebook followers total zero.

NOTE: Follow the links to follow THG on Twitter and Facebook!

It’s been a busy week for Miley Cyrus.

First, she visited a school in Hazard, Kentucky, where the singer contributed to Blessings In A Backpack. This organization provides food and supplies to poverty-stricken children.

As seen below, Miley met with program officials and local school representatives to receive updates on the program’s presence in the lives of its recipients and school-age volunteers. We must give her a round of props for this effort.

Said Cyrus: “Hazard, in fact all of Appalachia, has always been special to me and to my whole family. It’s where we’re from. So the health and education of these Hazard County kids was important to me, and something I felt I really could help do something about… these kids, and this organization, are really amazing.”

From there, Miley may have gotten herself in trouble with Justin Bieber and his fans.

Speaking to Q100′s Bert Show yesterday, she had the following to say about The Biebs, with whom she shared dinner two weeks ago: “I have my travel-size boyfriend [Bieber] and I have my oversized security boyfriend [Liam Hemsworth]. It’s perfect!”

Uh-oh, Kim Kardashian. Sounds like you have competition for your boy. Who do you think Justin should date, readers: Miley or Kim?

Mario Lopez and his girlfriend, Courtney Mazza, are expecting a baby, but the couple wants a little “Extra” surprise on the Big Day — the sex of their child. Still, Courtney has a maternal instinct as to whether she’ll be buying blue or pink. “I feel like it’s a boy!” she told In Touch at a Svedka Vodka event in Hollywood on May 22. But her TV star beau has a different idea. “That means it’s probably going to be a girl,” he laughed. For now, the couple is focused on nesting and preparing for their bundle of joy’s September arrival. “We got a new place, my sister is moving into town with her three kids and we got a new little dog,” Mario says.

With Lindsay Lohan barred from any alcohol or drug use until her next court hearing July 6, we got to thinking: Can she defeat the dreaded ankle monitor?

Either by going cold turkey, or by fooling it in some way? If anyone is up to the challenge, it’s LiLo, who has rocked such a bracelet before, back in 2007.

During that stint, she posed with it in a bikini … presumably while sober. But who knows. Can Lohan’s SCRAM bracelet be tricked so she can still party?

The device, which measures alcohol intake via an individual’s sweat, seems impossible to beat. Sensors record any attempt to remove or tamper with it.

The New York Daily News, however, suggests that by sticking one’s foot in a tub of ice water, and thus not sweating, one could avoid any positive reading.

So … put the keg in the tub and let’s party!

SCRAM-ED: Have Lindsay Lohan’s partying days been collared?

The newspaper also said that people can try sticking “cold cuts between the unit’s sensor and the wearer, creating a skin-like barrier that doesn’t sweat.”

Seriously. There have been entire articles written on this subject, so you know Linds is going to be well-versed in any loopholes or trickery she can employ.

Some lawyers and addiction counselors refute that you can “trick” the bracelet, though saying it’s nearly impossible. What about simply … not drinking?

This could be a tall order for Lindsay. First of all, she’s going to be so bored. More significantly, the girl has cravings and needs to be satisfied. Fast. Hard.

Her motivation to stay clean is strong, however. If that SCRAM device indicates she’s violating the rules, she could end up in jail by the end of the day.

Who do you think will prevail?

Mindy McCready was hospitalized in Cape Coral, Fla., for a possible drug overdose earlier this morning, according to reports. Her condition is unknown.

The troubled country star’s rep denied that she OD’d on drugs, but rather she just had a bad reaction to a painkiller, to which her mother “overreacted.”

Brent Young, Mindy’s rep, told TMZ she broke her toe two days ago and has been complaining about the pain and her mom gave her four Darvocet pills. 

Darvocet is a narcotic painkiller. Mindy told her mom that she wasn’t feeling well, possibly from a bad reaction to Darvocet, and her mom called 911.

Young says McCready’s mom may have been trying to make her custody argument stronger – they’re fighting over Mindy’s young son – by calling 911.

Mindy McCready during a rare, lucid moment … by her standards.

Young says he just spoke with Mindy, saying, “She’s totally coherent. She can’t believe her mom did this.” Mindy denies she is off the wagon, period.

Backing her up? Dr. Drew Pinsky. He says there is “no evidence of any relapse” and furthermore, that Darvocet was an appropriate med for her pain.

This is the first story we’ve done on Mindy in some time that didn’t involve her getting arrested or naked, at least. Hospitalized is right up there, though.

Last year, the Mindy McCready sex tape came out. Before that, she was accused of leaking the Eric Dane nude tape and jailed for a probation violation.

What a mess.

Lindsay Lohan finally made it to court yesterday and things didn’t go her way. Judge Marsha Revel not only assigned her to wear an alcohol monitoring ankle bracelet, she also told her she might have to postpone going to Texas to film as Lindsay had hoped because she must submit to weekly random drug tests and classes in LA — or else she will face going to jail for violating the probation terms from her 2007 DUI. “I’m happy they took more constraints to keep Lindsay in line. It’s one step in the right direction,” her dad, Michael Lohan told The Early Show this morning. He blamed prescription medication for his daughter’s problems, but commended the court for getting her into rehab, which will help her more than jail. “I think it’s eating her up on an emotional level and a physical level,” he added.

It was a jarring end to Lindsay’s chaotic week, in which she partied in Cannes while missing her last hearing because she claimed she lost her passport. But the judge wasn’t buying any of her excuses, ordering Lindsay to provide proof that she bought a plane ticket to return home in time and even asking if she went to her uncle’s funeral after Lindsay’s lawyer tried to blame her reaction to his death for one missed class. The answer? No. And according to reports, she also never showed a plane ticket, nor does she even have a movie coming up in which she’s required to film in Texas! Lindsay is due back in court on July 6. If she doesn’t comply with the terms of her probation, she could go to jail for up to a year.

Simon Cowell believes Lee DeWyze will win American Idol.

Speaking to his fellow judge on her talk show this week, Simon said: “If you’d asked me five or six weeks ago, 100 percent I would have said Crystal. But now I’ve changed my mind…. [Lee] is talented. He hasn’t had any real breaks in life, and this has given him a shot, and I like that.”

So that’s Cowell’s take on the finals, which gets underway tonight. How does THG handicap the matchup between Lee and Crystal Bowersox? As follows…

WHY CRYSTAL WILL WIN: She’s different, she has an incredible voice and her rendition of “People Get Ready” was the best of any contestant this season. It’s also about time a woman took home the crown, isn’t it?
WHY CRYSTAL WON’T WIN: She may have peaked too early. She also fails to connect with the audience, almost coming across as condescending to the show in general. She’s been the favorite for months and votes often like an underdog.

WHY LEE WILL WIN: He’s come on strong over the few weeks. He has Simon’s support. He makes an emotional connection with the audience during every song. He also reminds us of David Cook and, hey, that guy won.
WHY LEE WON’T WIN: Viewers are sick of male winners. He lacks a winning personality and he reminds us of David Cook and, hey, that guy already won.

Now it’s your turn, readers. Who do you think should win American Idol?
