The Bachelor is back. Again. The ninth season premieres tonight at 9/8c on ABC. Nine seasons and we get angry at ourselves each one for getting sucked in to such a ridiculous show. Luckily we barely tuned in last season but we know we have to give the premiere a shot. We're just hoping we don't waste over 15 hours of our life we will never get back on this show anymore.

However, for those of you who can't quit The Bachelor. Here's the latest on the new season. This time the show takes place in Rome and the Bachelor is a real Italian Prince! How is that for a plot twist? His name is Prince Lorenzo Borghese, a 33 year old cosmetics entrepreneur who has actually lived in the U.S. since he was 5. His grandmother Princess Marcella Borghese started a line of high-end cosmetics that was eventually purchased by Revlon. Following in his grandmother's footsteps, Prince Lorenzo started a line of high-end bath and body products for pets, called Royal Treatment Pet Spa.

A Prince? Could this mean there will really be a fairy tale ending? OK, we admit, now we are intrigued. Let's hope the Bachelorettes are a fun group. The best part is usually all the cattiness among the ladies.
