Something borrowed, something blue - and a lawsuit, too, for bride-to-be Trista Rehn of ABC's "Bachelorette."
Rehn's former manager, Kevin Allyn, is suing for a cut of the $1 million fee he said he negotiated from ABC to air her wedding to Ryan Sutter, "Entertainment Tonight" reported Tuesday.
The lawsuit contending he's owed 20 percent of the fee, $200,000, was filed Nov. 19 in Superior Court, the news magazine reported. A call to ABC seeking comment from Rehn wasn't immediately returned Tuesday.
The wedding and preparations for it have been featured in a series of specials, including one airing Wednesday on Rehn's and Sutter's bachelor parties. The couple is to be seen exchanging vows in a Dec. 10 program.
ABC is picking up the tab for the wedding, reportedly at the Lodge at Rancho Mirage in Palm Springs and costing $1 million. That includes the value of donated goods and services and production costs for the program.
Ah ... perhaps Trista's been just too busy, what with the trying on of platinum and diamond shoes and all, to drop the check in the mail, huh ?
Why is he now her "former" manager ? Because she's finished using him ? Somebody please tell me what there was to "manage". As far as I'm concerned she has no visible talent.
And since when do brides-to-be have managers negotiating deals ?
This blushing bride has some other kind of stars in her eyes, or she's blinded by her own vanity.
You know ... she seemed sort of likeable at first, and is pleasant looking ... but she has cooked her own phony-feathered goose.
Ryan ...... are you listening ? Run !
