The soap community took to Twitter last night and this morning in reaction to New York state passing an historic Marriage Equality law. The New York Senate has voted 33-29 to legalize same-sex marriage following easy passage in the House. New York is now the sixth state allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry. Governor Andrew Cuomo will sign the bill and it will go into effect in 30 days. Here's a sample of the reactions below:
@BethAnntastic (BethAnn Bonner): Flying back from La 2nite on the redeye...I'm so proud 2 live n Brooklyn on This wonderful day! #equality (now we can get hitched, my love!)
@crystalchappell (Crystal Chappell): Gay rights are human rights.....thanks u New York!

Who was that second guy mentioned in -- but bleeped out of -- Jake Pavelka and Vienna Girardi's final sit-down counseling interview this week?
His name Todd Michael Krim and his charity is called Reality Cares. Todd tells The Dish Rag exclusively what really happened on that infamous Saturday night, how he ended up with Vienna, her involvement with his charity event, her new job and what he overheard during Jake's angry phone calls to her that night.
"They were still on talking terms then," says Todd. "I don't like to get in the middle of things but I was in the car and I have to say I was a little surprised to how he was reacting to her just having me there.

Summer lovin'—or lack thereof—got you down? Well, look at it this way. You could be a part of this hot mess: Jake Pavelka: The most recent Bachelor broke up with his betrothed after a very public three-month engagement. His ex-fiancee, Vienna, says she dumped Jake because he had, er, intimacy issues. Vienna Girardi: While Pavelka has so far remained mum on the reason for the split, inside sources have had no problem labeling Vienna as "kind of stalkerish" and a "cheater," alleging she hooked up with actor Gregory Michael while she was still with Jake. Vienna took to Twitter for her denial, saying the rumors are "100% False." Gregory Michael: Perhaps in light...

TMZ is now reporting that Vienna Girardi's stepmom says she didn't keep her $50,000 engagement ring (above, inset). When Vienna left Jake Pavelka's place, she wrote a goodbye note and left the 3-carat Neil Lane diamond ring she received from Jake on the finale of "The Bachelor."
But Jake doesn't get to keep the ring either.
According to their sources, only couples who get married get to keep their super-expensive rings -- which is good for "Bachelor"/"Bachelorette" franchise because they give out a lot of those suckers but get a lot of them back.
Us is reporting that Vienna was seen the day of the break-up wearing the engagement ring, but we think there is an easy explanation for this -- she was photographed before she left the ring at Jake's house and had the ring on so as not to arouse suspicions. We aren't Vienna's biggest fans,...

We have proof! Jake kept up the lie that he was still engaged to Vienna all for the sake of public appearance.
Jake Pavelka seems to be in denial about the breakup with his fiancée Vienna Girardi whom he met on the set of The Bachelor.

And it was all for the sake of “keeping up public appearances,” confirms another source.
Jake has been in Peachtree, Ga., since Friday where he has been filming his guest appearance for Lifetime’s hit series Drop Dead Diva. Jake plays “Toby Davlin who is a bachelor on a reality dating show,” our source tells us. “He filmed on Friday and Monday.

Sources involved in the production of "The Bachelor" tell TMZ Jake Pavelka was the person who pulled the plug on his relationship with Vienna Girardi ... because he thought she was cheating.
