The new “Bachelorette” premieres on Monday. Becca Kufrin – the Bachelorette – just admitted in an interview that she fell for two guys on the show. Which makes you go hmm . . . because she’s the one who got dumped when the last Bachelor fell in love with two women at once. (audio) TMZ is a spoiler!!!!! They posted a photo of Becca kissing a “mystery man” in the Maldives, where the show filmed the proposal for the last episode. And naturally, it wasn’t long before the Internet compared the photos with the contestants and identified the winner. Becca has already revealed that she IS engaged. But now, she’s also saying that she fell in love with TWO men. Which is amusing, because she was jilted by Arie Luyendyk Jr. during the last season of “The Bachelor” after he proposed to her, and then pulled a switcheroo to pursue Lauren, the runner-up. She said, “I did develop really strong feelings for a couple of them and I did fall for two guys at the end, yes. You’ll have to wait and see.” The show premieres on Monday.

A reporter at CNN investigated Morgan Freeman after he allegedly made inappropriate comments to her. And if what she uncovered is true, his behavior is out of control. She found eight women claiming to be victims, and many more who claim to have witnessed his actions first hand. CNN says Freeman has a history of making lewd comments about women’s appearances, and of unwanted touching . . . like shoulder massages or putting a hand on a woman’s lower back. And people claim it happens at his production company, on movie sets, and even with entertainment reporters. During the filming of the movie “Going In Style” a few years ago, a production assistant says Freeman kept asking her if she was wearing underwear and trying to lift her skirt. She says it was so bad, his co-star ALAN ARKIN told him to stop . . . and Morgan, “got freaked out and didn’t know what to say.” Some women said they even dressed down when they knew they were going to see Morgan, so he wouldn’t leer at them or say anything gross. Morgan responded “Anyone who knows me or has worked with me knows I am not someone who would intentionally offend or knowingly make anyone feel uneasy. “I apologize to anyone who felt uncomfortable or disrespected . . . that was never my intent.” There’s already been some fallout over this. The actors’ union SAG-AFTRA might take back the lifetime achievement award it gave him earlier this year. And he’s lost one of his primo voice-over gigs: VISA is suspending all marketing using his voice.

Taste of Country has a list of the “10 Hottest Country Men of 2018.” It’s not all about the looks, although that helps. “Charm can be found in a bashful smile, a commitment to family, or swaggering confidence.” Here’s the list:
- Walker Hayes – Family? He and his wife are due for kid #7. Plus that jaw line.
- Sam Hunt – He had a long run at #1, but everyone drops down eventually.
3: Brett Eldredge – Very likeable and very easy on the eyes.
- Jake Owen – Still here even though his career is kind of quiet lately.
- Thomas Rhett – Another guy that’s helped by his commitment to family.
- Brett Young – He combines country with California cool, not easy to do.
- Jackie Lee – Good-looking dude, and he beat cancer.
- Ryan Hurd – He’s hot AND he’s married to Maren Morris. Not fair?
- Luke Bryan – Is it all about the teeth?
- Kane Brown – Can a voice like that make you even more attractive? Yes.
If you listen closely to the lyrics in ASHLEY MCBRYDE’ssong “The Jacket”, then you know about her father. It was his jean jacket and he lived a lifetime in it. He also passed it down to her. “It was in my truck in East Nashville. I parked right in front of a camera, in a secured parking lot. And somebody busted out the window and took it. “It’s the most disgusting-looking piece of denim ever. It’s got a buckskin collar, hand-sewn.” But Ashley’s not giving up. She put the word out to her friends and fans. Unfortunately, nobody’s been able to track it down. “All of Nashville’s been looking for it. All the vintage shops have pictures of it. It’s unmistakable, this jacket. If you saw it, you’d be like, ‘That’s gross. And that’s Ashley’s jacket.’

This past November, Jake Owen became the latest celebrity golfer to be granted a sponsor’s exemption for the Web.com Tour’s Nashville Golf Open Benefitting the Snedeker Foundation, which began Thursday at Nashville Golf & Athletic Club. Owen, a one handicap who has played alongside Jordan Spieth at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am for the last four years, teed off Thursday morning. Let’s just say it’s not gone well. Owen posted a front-nine 10-over 46 that included four pars, two bogeys, two double-bogeys and a quadruple-bogey nine at the par-5 18th. Naturally, some people are going to take issue with it, people like this guy who was NOT happy about his precious Nashville Golf Open Benefitting the Snedeker Foundation being sullied by the country singer’s poor play.
