Last week, Us Weekly dropped a gossip bombshell that rocked the world of the eight people that care about “The Bachelorette” when it claimed that Jillian Harris’s fiance Ed Swiderski had slept with his ex-girlfriend after he had proposed to Harris and attempted to bed another ex by texting her the winning line, “bring beer and condoms.”  Now Ed and Jillian and “Bachelorette” host Chris Harrison are doing the expected rounds of denials.

Chris Harrison: I’ve talked to Jillian twice in the last two days. She is definitely upset… It is tough, but they are still together; they are still engaged. That has not changed. Someone reported she dumped him in Las Vegas. That is not true.

ET: But the two women in US magazine are saying they have e-mails from Ed?

Chris Harrison: The problem is the two girls cashed in and took a paycheck for the story in US, so, they kind of sold out, which is unfortunate. They sold out at the expense of Ed and Jillian. The problem is there is a shred of truth in there, which Jillian already knew about. But if there is a shred of truth, you can’t fight the bull!@#$, so what are you going to do?

Eh, whatever.  Jillian was dating 25 guys when she met Ed.  I’d say he gets a couple extra strikes.
