Rumor Control: The Girl With the Roses
August 4, 2004

It’s the truth and nothing but, as "Extra" puts today’s top rumors to rest.

First of all, is "The Bachelor" Andrew Firestone’s former lady love, Jen Schefft, back on the dating scene?

Yes she is, and in a big way. Us magazine’s Mark Malkin tells "Extra" that Jen’s been chosen as the new Bachlorette for ABC.

Jen obviously has an affinity for reality TV -- in addition to Andrew, she also briefly dated Bill Rancic from "The Apprentice." Now, she'll have 25 guys to choose from, when "The Bachelorette" begins taping this fall. US magazine will have the cover story on stands Friday.

Item the second -- is George Clooney getting ballooney? The heartthrob is definitely a Hollywood heavyweight -- but now comes word that the actor is about to bulk up. Is it true?

It looks like the answer is a big "yes" -- George has reportedly signed on for a role in a film titled "Syriana," where he'll need to gain 40 pounds.
