EXCLUSIVE: Moments after Brad Womack proposed to Emily Maynard on last night's 'Bachelor' finale, millions of fans were shocked to learn that the couple have already gone through a breakup, and while Brad told viewers he was ready for marriage, sources tell me the couple has since broken up for good.
"Emily is so insecure, she just isn't cut out for all the fame and attention her relationship is under," a show insider tells me. "The six weeks of shooting the show in paradise was easy, away from prying eyes and photographers, but since they both returned to their normal lives things have been a disaster."
During the finale, Emily, mom to 5-year-old daughter Ricki, accepted Brad's proposal, beating out fellow contestant Chantal O'Brien for Womack's heart. The actual proposal was a tender, romantic moment of television.
"You're so much more to me than a leap of faith," he said. "You're the one. You're my once in a lifetime. I'm asking you to give me your forever."
Later, Emily admitted having trouble watching Brad get intimate with different ladies every Monday night. She also admitted that Brad's temper in real life also took her by surprise. Despite their problems, however, Brad has been trying valiantly to make the relationship work.
"Emily is not able to forgive Brad for what she considers cheating week-after-week with other girls," an in-the-know producer tells me. "It's always hard sending the couple back into reality after they have been living in paradise, but no one in the history of the show has had as hard a time adjusting as Emily."
Like many fans, my source "would love to say they are going to make it, but they don't. After we taped the 'After the Rose,' it was clear to everyone that this one was not going to work."

According to the internet media,its all about the latest news and updates,internet media provided real hot topic information,that news latest updates isBritish historical drama The King's Speech garnered 12 Oscar nominations on Tuesday, leading the competition for the film industry's top honours.
The film, starring Colin Firth as a stammering King George VI, beat rivals including The Social Network, which won the most Golden Globes earlier this month.
True Grit, the Coen brothers' take on the classic Western, came in second with 10 nominations. The Social Network and Inception won eight nominations each for the 83rd annual Academy Awards to be held on February 27.
The King's Speech was a relative latecomer to the Oscars race, and scored only one Golden Globe award.
Firth, who won the Golden Globe for his performance in the British movie, is widely tipped for a Best Actor at the Oscars.
Helena Bonham Carter, who plays King George VI's wife, was nominated for best supporting actress, along with Amy Adams and Melissa Leo for their roles in The Fighter, Hailee Steinfeld in True Grit and Jacki Weaver in Animal Kingdom'
The Social Network had been tipped to earn the most Oscar nominations after winning four awards at the Golden Globes on January 16. But industry observers had noted that the British royal movie could do better at the Oscars because it was better suited to the tastes of the 6,000-plus members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Fox News suggested strong suspicion linking Jared Loughner, the man accused in the Tucson shooting on Saturday, to what it called an "anti-ZOG (Zionist Occupational Government) and anti-semitic" group known as American Renaissance.
In an effort to counter those charges, the head of the organization responded directly to Fox News' James Rosen on Sunday.
Jared Taylor called DHS' views "scurrilous" and took especial issue with the reference to his group being "anti-ZOG."
"That is complete nonsense," he said. "I have absolutely no idea what DHS is talking about. We have never used the term 'ZOG.' We have never thought in those terms. If this is the level of research we are getting from DHS, then Heaven help us."
Taylor, who earned a BA in philosophy from Yale in 1973 and a master's degree in international economics from the prestigious Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris ("Paris Institute of Political Studies," in English) in 1978, says he had never heard of Loughner until yesterday. Taylor says he checked his organization's records going back twenty years and Loughner never subscribed to AmRen's publications.
Taylor says he also has no indication that Loughner ever attended any of AmRen's events, all of which have been held on the East Coast.

LAS VEGAS (Dow Jones)--T-Mobile USA Chief Executive Philipp Humm, in just six months on the job, has managed to irk his major competitors as he works to turn around the nation's fourth-largest carrier.
Humm, in an interview at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, said the keys to T-Mobile USA's recovery include lowering the rate of customer defections and offering more value to customers in the form of affordable smartphones and price plans.
He also has to convince customers that T-Mobile's network is comparable to the next generation of wireless services being rolled out by his competitors. To that end, he brashly labeled his network "4G," even though it has been traditionally considered "3G."
The move damped Sprint Nextel Corp.'s (S) perceived lead in 4G and got T-Mobile USA into the game ahead of Verizon Wireless's next-generation network launch. AT&T Inc. (T) has opted to follow T-Mobile USA's lead and call both its current and upcoming upgraded network 4G.
"We like to challenge the way business is done," Humm said.

CHIPMAKER Intel has cut a deal with Hollywood in its Sandy Bridge chips to put digital restrictions management (DRM) in them.Intel's sellout to the big media companies makes it 'safer' for Hollywood studios to offer premium movies to consumers on locked-down personal computers. No doubt the media content cartels and Intel are dreaming monopolistic visions of extracting big rents to stream everything online.
According to Reuters, Time Warner's digital distribution unit and other studios plan to offer high-definition movies to consumers who have PCs with Intel Sandy Bridge chips inside, simultaneous with releasing them on DVD.
Apparently the media cartels are dead keen to get their content on PCs that are locked-down even to the level of the chip.
Mooly Eden, Intel's VP and general manager of the PC client group said that Intel's embedded DRM allows content to be streamed to computers with Sandy Bridge chips and that Chipzilla is making deals with all the studios and content distributors to make it available.

New Yorkers were shocked to wake up to the news of a young Citi banker, Jessica Fashano, taking her life on Saturday by jumping off the roof of an Upper West Side building.
Fashano's passion in life was clearly charity. She helped raise money for The New York Times Neediest Cases Fund, for the Acumen Fund (which makes small-business loans to people in developing countries) and for Harboring Hearts Housing, which provides affordable accommodation to cardiac patients.
The 27-year-old left no note, though friends and family said she had been suffering from depression.
Her body was found at 8:13 a.m. on Saturday, in an internal courtyard of Trump Place - a luxury apartment complex on Riverside Boulevard where Fashano did not live. Surveillance videos captured her walking into the Westside apartment block that morning, 16 blocks away from her own home on 52nd St.
The last person to see her alive was a Trump Place resident, who rode in the elevator with her. "Dressed for the cold in Ugg boots and a winter jacket, Ms. Fashano asked the woman how to get to the roof — which has views of the Hudson River and New Jersey, where Ms. Fashano grew up. The resident... said Ms. Fashano seemed alert and aware," the New York Times reported.

Sabrina Parker the 16 year old girl died on Tuesday surrounded by family and close friends at her home after a year-long battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS, commonly referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease.”
Most people who develop ALS are between the ages of 40 and 70. Sabrina — who was diagnosed at 15 — was the youngest patient to be treated for the disease at Duke University Hospital.
Sabrina inspired all those in her life because of her courage and resilience. ALS is probably one of the worst of all the diseases and to hear or see such a young person battle this evil with so much dignity is simply unbelievable.
Her grandfather Noland Parker said that Sabrina maintained a positive attitude and made the best of every moment.

His request was clear: Make money for libraries and certified librarians a mandated part of school budgets instead of leaving the decision up to principals.
"There are many ways to spend limited education dollars, but a library is one of the best investments," he said inside the upgraded library of University City High, a newly transformed "Promise Academy."
Beginning in the late 1990s, at a time of huge budget deficits, the school district began eliminating librarian positions and failed to replace those who retired or found other jobs, district officials said.
In 1987, every school had a library staffed with a certified librarian and trained library assistant, Jordan said. Four years later, only 176 certified librarians and 114 assistants were employed by the district.
Today, just 72 librarians and 26 assistants remain, he said.
Of the district's 258 schools, only 120 have libraries, and only half of the high schools have libraries.
On the other hand, Jordan said, each of the 26 state correctional institutions is required to have a fully stocked library staffed with a librarian with a master's degree.
"If we mandated that every school provided children with fully stocked, technology-rich libraries, there wouldn't be as many inmates in need of prison libraries," he said.
Studies have shown that students with access to libraries typically show significant improvement in reading, spelling, math and problem-solving. Jordan noted that Pennsylvania System of School Assessment scores in reading are 10 to 15 points higher in schools with libraries staffed by certified school librarians.
This is not a new fight for the union, which has unsuccessfully tried "half a dozen times" to include the measure in its contract with the district, Jordan said.
Dolores Solomon, president of the district's Home and School Association, said parents could make the difference.
"Parents always play a very important part in any issue pertaining to the children," she said.
By involving parents, "this will spark the light to bring awareness to the situation," she said. "Our children are in need of libraries in each and every school, not just some schools."
The district's director of integration instruction, Lois McGee, who works with library-content specialists, said the district pushes for libraries.
"We've been advocating for strong libraries programs in all our schools since Dr. Ackerman came in," she said, referring to Superintendent Arlene Ackerman, who joined the district in 2008. McGee described libraries as "that link that would close the opportunity and achievement gap."
She added that content specialists have been added as extra support in the libraries of the district's six Promise Academies, schools receiving closer attention from the district.

NBC Universal-owned USA Network has added a new social layer to its ongoing Character Project initiative, a cause-related extension of its "Characters Welcome" brand. In the hopes of fostering tolerance and respect among people from all walks of life, the TV home to shows like "Monk" and "Burn Notice" launched a new campaign Monday featuring a Facebook game and other social media components.
The goal is to encourage people to pledge to "stand against intolerance, prejudice, discrimination and hate, and to promote greater understanding and acceptance" through the CharactersUnite.com site. For each pledge, USA will donate $1 to its nonprofit partners, a wide collection of organizations including the National Council of La Raza, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, and the American Federation of Teachers.
"I believe life is richer and we are stronger as a country when we see beyond stereotypes and appreciate each other for the characters we are," states the pledge. Donations will be made during "Characters Unite Month," which runs through December 24, according to USA's calendar.
A Facebook game application tests players' "diversity ratings" by asking them to answer questions about their Facebook friends. "Which friend is a different religion than you are?" asks the game, which reminds players that the constitution guarantees freedom of religion. The Social Circle game, which resembles a slot machine, also asks questions like, "Which friend is an independent?" and "Which of your friends speaks two or more languages?"
The scores - intended to gauge the diversity of the friends of Social Circle players -show up on players' Facebook pages, along with a suggestion that friends play, too. "How diverse do you think your Facebook friends are? Now is your chance to find out!" Players with low scores are urged to "expand your horizons."
