Mary Delgado Mugshot

Former ‘Bachelor’ star Mary Delgado who appeared in two seasons of the show was arrested Thursday morning in Tampa for Driving Under the Influence. She was pulled over at 12:45 a.m. according to the arrest report and she refused a blood alcohol test on the misdemeanor charge and was later released on a $500 bond. This is not the first run in with the law for Delgado who was The Bachelor winner during Byron Velvick’s season. Delgado 42, was also arrested back in 2007 on battery charges in which she was accused of punching Byron in the face.  The couple had appeared together on a ‘Bachelor’ reunion show the night before she was arrested for punching him. Apparently the audience was asked if Velvick should marry Delgado and behind her back Velvick shook his head no which sparked laughter from the audience. This incident may have been the cause for the fight later. The couple had become engaged on the show in 2004 but ended their relationship in 2009.

It’s a good place.” The couple decided on a one bedroom apartment and Ali’s biggest concern is the closet space in an interview she said “I realize how much clothes I have now,” Fedotowsky says. “Normally, I seriously could fit all my clothes in one suitcase but now, after the show and going to so many events, I have so much clothes.” The couple is keeping her move in date a secret to try and avoid paparazzi.

Alexis Bellino’s Kids July 4th Pool Accident

Alexis Bellino
Reality star Alexis Bellino from Real Housewives of Orange County had a bit of a scare on the 4th of July when the stroller with her twin daughters in it went into the swimming pool. It was reported by TMZ that Alexis and Jim had left their daughters two and half year olds Melania and Mackenna in the stroller near the pool while they were off “doing something.” The story said that a lifeguard dove in and grabbed one child while husband Jim grabbed the other. Alexis has taken to her blog to defend herself. She writes
“On Sunday, July 4th, my family was leaving the Balboa Bay Club swimming pool in the late afternoon. As we were leaving, I turned to say goodbye. Our girls were in their stroller and I thought I had put the brake on, but apparently I didn’t. My husband, Jim, and I were both standing close to the stroller. Within seconds, the stroller had rolled towards the pool and a stroller wheel rolled off the edge of the pool. Before either of us could grab the stroller, a second wheel rolled off the edge, and the stroller went into the pool. Of course, Jim instantly went into the pool. He grabbed both of the girls himself and lifted both of them out of the water. Because the girls were not strapped into the stroller, and Jim was right there, their heads did not even go under water.

While we are not making light of this incident, and have been reminded to never take our eyes off the children for even a second when near water, it has been so hurtful to know how this experience has been mischaracterized in the media. To all of you who have offered your support, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
