A bachelorette no more: Ashley Hebert weds beau
NEW YORK (AP) - Ashley Hebert (AY'-behr) is no longer a "Bachelorette."
The 28-year-old Maine native got hitched over the weekend in Pasadena, Calif., to 35-year-old J.P. Rosenbaum of Long Island, who proposed to her on the seventh season of the ABC dating reality show "The Bachelorette." Hebert tweeted that "12/1/12 goes down in history as the best day of my life!!"
Natalia Desrosiers, spokeswoman for Warner Bros. Television, which produces the show, said the wedding will be aired on Dec. 16 on ABC.
Hebert, who also competed on the 15th season of "The Bachelor," grew up in Madawaska, Maine, and is a dentist. The couple now resides in the New York City area.
Only one other couple that met on the TV show has married. Bachelorette Trista Rehn married Vail, Colo., firefighter Ryan Sutter in 2003.

Has anyone noticed a serious 'dummy-ing down' of television since Survivor started?
Smart, funny, or well-written shows are cancelled so there's more time for My Big Fat Ethnic-American Pawn Star Housewife shows. When was the last time there was anything related to the Arts on A&E, the alleged 'Arts and Entertainment' network? Bravo was supposed to be a channel devoted to the performing arts. I guess watching over-hyped, Barbie-sculpted, gold diggers is a performance, but I'd hardly call it 'art'. Even the History channel has ceased showing 'history' in favor of Nostradamus' Sasquatch Alien-baby predictions. Television has become 150 channels of shopping, religion, and the National Enquirer.
Sad really.
 @svensson Kill your TV, you have the internet
@31F But you know, not too very long ago there were high quality, well-written shows on free[ish] television. NYPD Blue was excellant, as was Law and Order and L&O Criminal Intent. CSI hadn't gotten stale. SNL was still funny.
Â
Five years ago, History Channel had shows about, of all things, history, and you could Discover or Learn something on Discovery or The Learning Channel that had nothing to do gold miners, crabs or brides or fat hillbillies pimping their kid out on the pagent circuit.
Â
Look I realize that, nearing 50 years old, I'm no longer the 'target demographic', and I'm not ready for re-runs of 'Perry Mason' or 'Bewitched'. But is the current demographic so stupid as to call pseudo-reality shows where everyone is acting like a screaming buffoon or a conniving, untrustworthy liars 'entertainment'?
I can't wait for these awful reality shows to be obsolete.Â
Amen, Zoso!
Oh man, this would really be news if it meant the damn show was finally gonna come to and end! One can only hope!
