'The Bachelor' Brad Womack Talks Women and His Austin Bachelor Pad

The Bachelor 2011 premiered tonight, with Brad Womack returning to have a second chance at finding true love. Brad Womack will go down in history as one of the most controversial Bachelor contestants, after he left Deanna Pappas and Jenni Croft heartbroken at the end of the show.

On tonight’s season premiere episode of The Bachelor 2011 with Bachelor Brad Womack, he was confronted by both Deanna Pappas and Jenni Croft about choosing neither of them to be his bride.

Deanna and Jenni have both moved on, and both are happily engaged to other men. Deanna Pappas may have not found love with Brad Womack, but she did find love on The Bachelor, as she is set to marry Stephen Stagliano, whom she met through the franchise.

On Deanna’s season of The Bachelorette, she said that she felt sympathy for Brad Womack, but confronting him tonight, she seemed catty and bitter. What is Deanna’s deal? Is she still carrying a torch for Brad Womack even though she’s engaged? Or did ABC tell her to try and create some drama with Brad?

Whatever the reasoning behind her bitter tone towards Brad, Deanna Pappas showed that she is definitely not over the fact that he did not choose her to be his bride.

Will Brad Womack find true love on Season 15 of The Bachelor 2011, and finally settle down and start a family?

Megan Mcallister: Another Victim of Phillip Markoff 'Craigslist Killer'

craigslist-killer-320.jpgTime was, a sensational murder case like that of the "Craigslist killer" would have spawned at least two competing TV movie projects. But since the broadcast networks have pretty much given up that business, Lifetime has become the go-to place for sordid true-crime tales.

Monday night (Jan. 3), Lifetime obliges with a movie called "The Craigslist Killer." It's based on the case of Philip Markoff, a Boston med student who was charged in April 2009 with the murder of a masseuse he had reportedly contacted through Craigslist. He was also a suspect in two other cases in which women who advertised adult services were robbed.

Jake McDorman -- Evan Chambers on "Greek," which also premieres Monday night -- plays Markoff, and it's a safe bet that this character is a little darker than the frat-boy jerk he plays on ABC Family. The movie also stars Agnes Bruckner ("Private Practice") as Megan McAllister, Markoff's fiancee, and William Baldwin ("Parenthood") as the lead detective in the case.

(Markoff, by the way, committed suicide in his jail cell in August, before he went to trial in the murder case.)

Reviews of the movie haven't been especially kind, but chances are the movie will do pretty well.

Here's a preview for "The Craigslist Killer," which premieres at 9 p.m. ET on Lifetime.
