There is nothing better than a good old scandal and that made 2011 a banner year for reality TV!

From cheating spouses, to fake marriages to shocking suicides and risking children’s lives, reality stars showed their true colors by fighting, making-up, dodging debt and raking up arrests, and RadarOnline.com has a gallery of the biggest scandals of the year.

Kim Kardashian tied the knot with Kris Humphries in an $18 million made-for-TV extravaganza but filed for divorce just 72 days later, prompting outcry that the nuptials were fake and only for ratings on her reality show. The backlash was swift, especially when Kim cashed in with huge ratings for the new season of Kourtney and Kim Take New York, which was re-edited to make Kris look like the bad guy.

Taylor Armstrong’s financial troubles were simmering when her estranged husband Russell hanged himself in August, followed by the shocking news that Russell had allegedly abused her during their tumultuous marriage.  His suicide stunned family and friends, but the couple’s troubles are proving to be a ratings bonanza for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, with their counseling sessions aired on TV and the couple’s dark secrets revealed weekly.

Following weeks of speculation, ABC announced on Tuesday that Ben Flajnik will have a second shot at finding love when he takes the helm as the next Bachelor.

The wine-maker from Sonoma, California was dumped by Ashley Hebert in favor of J.P. Rosenbaum in the last installment of the Bachelorette, but quickly became a fan favorite and the front-runner to become the star of the sixteenth season of the hit show.

"Secret is out. Looking forward to my new journey as the new bachelor!" 28-year-old Ben F. wrote on his Twitter page on Tuesday as soon as the news broke.

Bentley Williams’ ex-wife tells Star that before his appearance on ABC’s The Bachelorette, they were thinking of getting back together. But after watching his cruel antics at the expense of Ashley Hebert, Suzette Davis says she’s now barely on speaking terms with her ex.

“We were best friends,” says Suzette, 31, who has a two-year-old daughter, Cozette, with Bentley, 29.

Ashley Hebert made her final decision on the season finale of The Bachelorette Monday night, scoring some major bling from J.P. Rosenbaum - and RadarOnline.com has the photo of the beautiful bauble!

J.P. popped the question to his bride-to-be with a beautiful 3.5 carat engagement ring from jeweler-to-the-stars Neil Lane.  Set with a stunning, central cushion-cut diamond and accented with 162 round-cut diamonds, the platinum set ring made Ashley one, lucky lady!

Congrats on the engagement and the blinging ring, Ashley!

Ashley Hebert picked J.P. Rosenbaum over Ben Flajnik as her bachelor of choice on Monday's season finale of The Bachelorette – and yes, J.P. popped the question!

J.P., a 34-year-old construction manager from New York, told Ashley his "biggest fear is falling in love with [her] and having [his] heart broken again.

Although he wasn't there, The Bachelorette Ashley Hebert's evil suitor, Bentley Williams, was a hot topic on Sunday's Men Tell All special, as Hebert and the fellas didn't hold back or downplay their hostility for the hunky heel, with one contestant labeling him “a narcissist, a liar and a coward."

Prior to the discussion, the show aired a montage of Bentley's low lights, as he callously claimed he didn't have feelings for Hebert, but clearly enjoyed manipulating her. (Bentley would leave the show prematurely, claiming he didn’t want to stay away from his daughter, but returned on a later episode, tampering with Ashley’s heart yet again.)

Former Bachelorette winner Jesse Csincsak is exclusively blogging for RadarOnline.com about the new season of ABC’s The Bachelorette, starring Ashley Hebert. Here’s his latest entry:

Here we are back again for week 9 of ABC's The Bachelorette season 7 with Ashley Hebert. I'm Jesse Csincsak and I am here with my behind-the-scenes opinions about what I saw on last night's show. My opinions are simply based on my own experiences on the show and my thoughts on the characters from last night's episode. With that being said, here we go!

OK, so I am gonna try and keep this week's blog short and sweet because other than Constantine leaving early and Ryan P. continuing to have more dollars than cents, nothing super interesting really happened that we didn't already expect.

A flirty George Lopez prodded The Bachelorette's Ashley Hebert about her evil suitor Bentley, her rumored engagement and the night she recently spent with Ben, one of the three remaining bachelors on ABC’s reality romance.

"Are you worried what other people think?" Lopez asked the 26-year-old dentist Thursday about her all-night rendezvous with Ben. "Cause I don't think [Ben] returned to his location that evening."

Now that its hometown time I kind of feel like Ashley has a whole new glow about herself. It’s kind of refreshing to see really. I am interested to see how she handles the weeks to come when there are a lot more feelings attached to the decisions she’s making! This is when the toll of saying goodbye will really start to get tough!
