Jason surprises the women by showing up unannounced at The Mansion for an afternoon pool party after sending Ty home to be with his mom.

Jillian, the hot dog queen, scores not only Date #1 with Jason after receiving the first Rose of the episode, but also the first kiss. The couple enjoys an awesome private black-tie concert with Robin Thicke at Disney Hall accompanied by champagne & chocolate covered strawberries.

Former DCC Melissa receives her invite for Date #2 with Jason for the following day. As Jillian shares the deets of her romantic evening…Melissa admits she’s not too good at just dating. She & Jason “enjoy” oysters beach side, kiss #2 and a romantic blimp ride…sunset over LA…with Jason admitting that her aspirations for teaching may just seal this deal.

The group date begins with the bachelorettes as Pretty Women changing into the date of every man’s dreams. As Molly & Naomi compete for best kisser, the remaining water logged bachelorettes hope to impress with their synchronized swimming skills.

Tensions mount at The Mansion as Megan & Erica call each other out on what only they see as drama. Lisa opts out cause of her sick grandma while stalker chick Shannon & in need of constant reassurance, Lauren, couldn’t be happier that the competition has lessened…if only by one.

Chris Harrison, as only Chris Harrison can, clanks his glass, ending the cocktail party…each of the beauties having played their final hand for this evening.

Despite being nominated for a Golden Globe, Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay was a no-show last night.Were you wondering why?She had a good excuse: a collapsed lung!

‘Mariska Hargitay has been sidelined with a pneumothorax (a partially collapsed lung),’ the rep told Access Hollywood exclusively.

Despite the injury, ‘she will appear in all episodes for the rest of the season of ‘Law &Order: SVU,’ her rep added."

What a trooper!If my lung collapsed, I’d be taking some days off

A collapsed lung can reportedly be caused by a chest injury or nothing at all.Treatments range from medical observation, receiving oxygen, or even surgery.

Hopefully Mariska will not require surgery and will be back to chasing her son around in no time!

Sadie, we hardly knew ya.For those of you who are now completely confused (whether you watch Grey’s Anatomy or not), Melissa George’s character on Grey’s Anatomy is Sadie.And Melissa confided to EW’s Michael Ausiello that she is leaving the show.

‘It was my choice,’ the actress-slash-Golden Globe nominee (for In Treatment) confirmed to [Ausiello] at HBO’s red-hot after-party, held poolside at the Beverly Hilton. ‘My last day of work is Tuesday.’ "

Although Melissa said she loved pretty much everyone on the show, she was ready to "do something else."

On the verge of a possible actor’s strike, a working actor is voluntarily leaving a job? From one of the top-rated shows on TV?

Apparently, Ausiello’s moles provided more information.

‘Melissa’s arc came to a natural end. Everyone at the show adores her. We’re genuinely sad to see her go.’

‘The character was cursed from Day One,’ sniffs an ABC source. ‘She was very difficult to root for.’ "

I don’t know if the character was cursed… maybe just crowded out with a too-large cast?Sadie was a complicated character who couldn’t be accurately portrayed in just a few minutes.What do you Grey’s Anatomy fans think?

Melissa told Ausiello she "won’t [get] a big send-off, but it’s really cool what they do." And Melissa seems to work pretty steadily, so I’m sure we’ll see her in other things!

Who’ll be watching?

Now that The Wedding for Fergie and Josh Duhamel is over, people are allowed to talk about it.Like Terri Jackson, Fergie’s mom.

So was it the "small" wedding that insiders said it would be?Depends on your definition, I guess; Terri said there were between 350-375 guests.

It sounds like they put on quite a show for the guests, though!

‘Kid Rock was there with will.i.am rapping,’ Fergie’s mother, Terri Jackson, said during an interview on Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM radio show Monday. ‘It was an amazing show. It would cost you a fortune – and I’m sure it did – to see this show.’ "

Alfonso Ribiero, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, also performed the Michael Jackson song Billie Jean (Alfonso is reportedly a childhood friend of Fergie’s).Who would have thought those guys would be there performing?

It sounds like quite a party.Fergie and Josh reportedly stayed until 2 am Sunday morning.Later that afternoon they were spotted at LAX, departing for a "tropical honeymoon."

It sounds like they had a fantastic wedding that everyone enjoyed, so good for them!

Confessions of a Shopaholic star Isla Fisher assures people that she will marry longtime boyfriend Sasha Baron Cohen.After seven years of dating and a one-and-a-half year old daughter, Olive, Isla tells Allure magazine that she and Sasha are finally ready.

‘We are going to get married, really, really, even more now than ever,’
she says. ‘We have been talking about it and we have been very close,
but it has been difficult to plan.’ "

I guess so, between having a baby, filming Confessions of a Shopaholic and all of Sasha’s projects!Despite everything going on in their lives, Isla knows what she wants in her wedding and that she wants it to be private.

‘It is very important to me to have a beautiful ritual celebrated with
all my family and friends, and to feel part of a community,’ she adds. ‘And when you are in the public eye, to keep that private and to make
it happen without it being really visible is really difficult.’ "

In preparation for her marriage, Isla even converted from the Methodist church to Judaism, even taking the Hebrew name Ayala.

‘I never saw it as a losing or gaining situation, just an embracing
situation,’ she adds. ‘I think if one wanted to be buried next to one’s
beloved and they were Jewish, then one would have to be Jewish, too.’ "

(‘That came out really weird,’ she then jokes. ‘Scratch the burial.’)"

Don’t scratch it, Isla: we get what you mean!You want to be laid to rest with the love of your life; who wouldn’t understand that?

Of course, I love to look at wedding pictures, but I hope Isla has the wedding of her dreams!
