US Weekly Really Wants Me to Subscribe

Another cover with Ed & Jillian!? US Weekly really knows how to get me to shell out $3.99 each week. This week they tease us at the end of the online article with, "For more on how Swiderski tricked Harris -- including how she is coping, why she refuses to leave him, whether Reid Rosenthal would ever take Harris back and the hurtful mind games Swiderski played -- pick up the new Us Weekly today!"

The story last week focused on the other women and their evidence against Ed. I must say after reading the article they have a pretty convincing story. They give exact timelines and have the emails/texts to back their story up. I know it's a one sided story and Ed didn't get a chance to respond (the magazine said he didn't respond by press time). When he did respond along with Jillian on Good Morning America I found myself actually agreeing with Reality Steve, Ed's reaction wasn't nearly as convincing as the other women. I mean he's basically just saying it didn't happen. But I need an explanation of the timeline and email/text evidence against him to really believe Ed. For example, if he said something like, "They are crazy jealous ex-girlfriends who fell hard under the spell of my short green shorts. They got together and decided if they can't have me no one can have me and then set out to ruin my reputation. They hacked into my computer and sent these emails to themselves making it looking like it was from me and then they hacked into my cell phone and sent these text messages to themselves to make it look like I was trying to bed them. Clearly that is what happened here - I'm being framed." Then I might me more inclined to be on his side...maybe.

Adding to my mistrust is this week's magazine which includes statements from some of the other Bachelors, including Wes (very ironic - you know he has to be the happiest guy in the world with this developing drama), Angry Dave (I'm surprised he didn't fight Ed when he found out...or at least call him a cheese ass), Breakdancer Michael (sweet Michael calls Ed "Shady", I'm throwing up red flags if sweet Michael doesn't trust you), The hotness that is Jesse (still ashamed that I overlooked him until the Men Tell All), and of course our beloved Reid (Don't you even think about taking her back when they break up, Reid- you gave her 2 good chances). I am very curious to see what these guys have to say about all the drama. And yes, I admit that I'm more excited and hopeful that the magazine has new pictures of Reid. Totally worth $3.99.

P.S. Completed unrelated side note, could they have found a worse picture of Jessica? Even I feel sorry for her.
