Ben, Nina, Sean and Sebastian

A few odds (and some ends) today:

There were eight roses left. Who would get one, and who would leave broken hearted?

Not "The Bachelor," but the Rose D'Or Festival in Switzerland, and the tears of joy rose recipient? Ben Silverman!

Actually, the NBC Entertainment co-chief (pictured) took home an Honorary Rose, which we're not sure carries as much meaning, but festival director Urban Frye put the best face on it, saying Silverman has "transformed the television business model and is continually expanding the horizons of this ever-growing medium."

Read Vulture's version of Ben's acceptance speech here.

Will one of our favorite reality show Emmy contenders be the same when it moves to the network formerly known as the Estrogen Channel that's trying real hard to shed the Women in Peril brand? And how much will it change without its lead Magical Elves producers? Whiter Nina and Michael? These are the kinds of questions we're pondering on a June-gloom-in-early-May day.

When last we saw Sean Young, she was saying what everybody had been thinking all awards season long. Now, answering the question, "What's she doing after rehab?" she'll be appearing on a singing reality show on CMT. That her competition is Sebastian Bach, Jermaine Jackson and Lorenzo Lamas makes it all the more special.

Picture this

  • That Naked Cowboy sure does get around. (Airport screening must be a breeze. Or totally gross.) Here, he's in Australia in all his partially-clad glory to entertain at a New York-themed retail promotion for department store giant Myer. Back home, he's appeared everywhere from the audition for "American Idol," (he didn't get far) to an ad for M&Ms (the tiny blue piece of candy made to look like him, complete with tighty whiteys, won him a chunk of cash for the unauthorized use of his likeness). We expect he'll be back in Times Square just as soon as it warms up a bit. (Getty Images)
