SECRETS OF BACHELORETTE EMILY MAYNARD

THE US WEEKLY ROUNDUP

The Bachelorette’s Emily Maynard


The cover story of the new issue of Us Weekly reveals shocking secrets about The Bachelorette’s Emily Maynard. She has earned a reputation as the drama-free, girl-next-door. Insiders say Maynard can have a bit of an attitude and is feuding with the family of her dead fiancé, race car driver Ricky Hendrick. What’s more, Maynard underwent plas­tic surgery before appearing on TV and hopes to land a rich husband. “She sur­rounds herself with money and social status,” says a source. Us investigates the side of Maynard that the cameras don’t show.



She has a temper: Maynard has admitted that her relationship post-The Bachelor with Brad Womack was marred by “knock-down, drag-out fights.” After the two split in June 2011 and she was tapped to be the Bachelor­ette, “she got difficult,” says a show source. “She knew she was the star, so she be­came a bit of a diva.” That attitude rears its head in the episode airing June 11. Maynard goes off the rails when she learns that con­testant Kalon McMahon, 27, referred to her daughter as “baggage.”



She’s at odds with [daughter] Ricki’s grandparents: As Us previously reported, Hen­drick’s parents are “livid” Maynard decided to do a second round. “When Em­ily went on The Bachelor, they weren’t pleased, but they supported her,” says a family source. “Now they’re not speaking.”



She likes the finer things in life: “Emily is a bit of a social climber,” says a Maynard source. “She has dated some heavy hitters, and she started to get a bad reputation around town. She’s well-liked now, but it did take a while.” After Hendrick died in 2004 (he was worth a re­ported $15 million at the time), Maynard dated coun­try singers Jake Owen, 30, and Jerrod Niemann, 32, and was also linked to race car driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., 37, in early 2006.



She had plastic surgery: Sources say she went under the knife prior to taping Womack’s season in 2010, and now has breast implants, veneers and likely a nose job. One source be­lieves Maynard is inse­cure after developing Bell’s palsy as a teen.





ADAM LEVINE: DATING ANNE’S PAL



Adam Levine



The rocker’s new girl “always had a crush”

Revenge romance! two months ago, Adam Levine, 33, was blindsided by Anne Vyalitsyna when she dumped him via a press statement. Now the Voice star has found love again — with her friend Behati Prinsloo! “Behati always had a crush on Adam,” a source tells Hot Stuff of the Namibian model, 23. “And she was a little jealous of Anne.” The Victoria’s Secret Angels “are good friends,” says a source. “Not best — but close enough.” And now, perhaps, not at all: Vyalitsyna stopped following Prinsloo on Twitter! But the be­trayed Russian beauty, 26, has soothed her wounds with a new man: A source says she’s been “flirting and texting” with True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgård, 35. “Anne’s been traveling, so they haven’t been able to see each other,” says the insider. “But she’s his type!”



HOW TO HOOK GEORGE


 George Clooney


Patti Stanger schooled Stacy Keibler on seal­ing the deal with her love of 10 months, George Clooney! The Millionaire Matchmaker, 51, took Keibler, 32, aside at the Simon G. Jewelry Summer Soiree in Las Vegas June 2. “She gave Stacy a big tip,” a source tells Hot Stuff. “She said that George needs to propose within a year of them being together. Other­wise, she won’t have as strong a chance.”



MK’S OLDER MAN



 Mary-Kate Olsen


What’s 17 years? Not enough of an age difference to stop Mary-Kate Olsen, 26, from dating 43-year-old Olivier Sarkozy! “She’s constantly complaining about boys not being mature enough for her,” says a pal of the designer, who has been seeing the divorced half brother of French ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy for more than a month. “She really likes the guy.” Indeed, says a witness who saw the two on a May 28 date at NYC eatery Jewel Bako: “She was all over him!”





UMA THURMAN: INSIDE HER BABY BASH

Flowers? check. cookies? yep. pink elephants? Well, OK. Uma Thurman’s baby shower, hosted by her half sister, Taya, at the sibling’s NYC pad on May 31, “had a pink elephant theme,” a source tells Hot Stuff. About 25 guests — including the actress’ Smash costars (and real-life couple) Debra Messing, 43, and Will Chase, 41, along with the baby’s father, French financier Arki Busson, 49 — were served treats shaped like the animal. Besides the fete’s decor, the other elephant in the room was the name of Thur­man’s baby girl, due in late July (the star, 42, has a daughter, Maya, 13, and a son, Levon, 10, with Ethan Hawke, 41). “No one said what the baby will be called,” the source says. It will just have to be a surprise — much like the pregnancy itself! “Uma was definitely not planning on having another kid,” the source says. “But she’s over the moon about it.”
