Looks like Kristin Chenoweth has found an eligible bachelor. When asked about her budding romance with Jake Pavelka, the actress confirmed that she was was indeed dating and “loving it.”

Kristin spoke to E! News at the Trevor Live benefit for The Trevor Project on Sunday, Dec. 3 and confessed that was dating.

“I’m single and loving it,” Kristin said with a big smile. And then added, “I’m finally dating. It’s fun.”

Earlier that same day, Jake took Kristin around his hometown in Highland Village, Texas, but according to TMZ, this isn’t the first time the two have gone out to dinner together. They were also reportedly spotted dining around Hollywood earlier this month!

While Jake, 34, and Kristin, 44, stopped short of kissing in public, they did not hide their affection and were holding hands.

“They were very attentive to one another,” a witness told TMZ.

As you may recall, Jake got engaged to Vienna Girardi on his season finale of The Bachelor, but they broke up a year later.

Kristin, on the other hand, has been linked to younger guys in the past including actor Lane Garrison, who is 12 years her junior.

Are you happy for Kristin and Jake, HollywoodLifers?

Kasey tried to teach the audience an important lesson on the Aug. 29 episode of ABC’s Bachelor Pad: “Jake‘s a snake!” (But seriously, Kasey, at least Jake is a good public speaker!) All Jake ever wanted to ever do was apologize to Vienna, but her knight-in-shining-armor of a boyfriend is just too stubborn to ever see the good in him.

This week’s competition was the infamous “kissing contest,” which was the most popular from last season. And of course the producers had to make it even juicier this time by incorporating all the love triangles and sexual tension in the house. As soon as Chris Harrison announced the game, Kasey and Graham didn’t want to participate — but of course they changed their minds.

But when Michelle put her foot down and opted out of the game, she wasn’t just trying to impress Graham; she really didn’t participate because of her daughter, Brielle. Michelle, if you think staying out of a kissing contest will set a good example for your daughter, why don’t you ask Ella why she thought kissing the men like her life depended on it would impress her nine-year-old son, Ethan? (‘Ethan, guess what? Mommy was voted the best kisser because she used her voluptuous lips and tongue, blind-folded, to get closer to buying you a house!’) All kidding aside, she does have a sad story.

Ella won the rose, and picked none other than her partner, Kirk. Are you really surprised she didn’t pick Kasey? Besides the fact that he has a girlfriend, someone needs to give that guy a mint and save the day! I feel like I can smell his breath just based on the looks on the girls’ faces, so it’s no wonder all he got were pecks on the lips (aside from Vienna, of course).

Kirk and Ella took off in a sick red Porsche, and William was totally jealous — though not not of the date with Ella, but of the car! He looked like he wanted to make out with that sports car, the way he drooled all over it

But back to the date: Ella and Kirk shared pizza, ice cream, and some serious talk. Out of all the pairs on this show, Kirk and Ella really do need the money the most. Between Kirk having been very sick in college and Ella’s story about her stepfather shooting her mother when she was three, they’re both traumatized! She wants to raise money for battered women, and I hope everyone can see what a good person she is. Onto something more uplifting, the couple then got to share a hot air balloon ride, and predictably, she gave him the rose.

Onto the men: It was no secret that Blake was trying to give every girl a tonsillectomy. (We get it, Blake, you’re the world’s greatest dentist with perfect teeth. But there’s no need to shove your tongue down everyone’s throats — everyone’s except Vienna’s, that is.) In the end, Blake decided to give his rose to Holly, since he really wanted that one-on-one date with his crush. He won, and he didn’t want to spend another minute pretending to be attracted to Melissa. He thinks with “little Blake,” and not with his head.

Blake and Holly went skiing, and it seemed like the date was actually a set-up for her, since she can’t even ski! Blake to the rescue! The only PDA we got to see was one kiss, but we can all guess what happened behind closed doors. I’m convinced more happened, since they decided to stay and spend the night together out of the house, leaving Michael in the dark.

And that just gave crazy Melissa even more time to get into his head. Michael ran to Holly when she got back the next morning, excited to see her, and professed his love to her forever and ever. This left her torn. (Really, Holly? Michael is the man, in my eyes, and this shouldn’t even be a choice; as you can see, Blake is a player!)

In the end, psycho Melissa had to go. So Erica, you and your lips are free for one more week — just stop trying to kiss Ella (to see what the best kisser really ‘tastes’ like.) Kasey also manipulated the house again this week, resulting in William getting sent home.

So what do YOU think, BFFs? Will Holly start dating Blake or will she tell Michael that she loves him back? Did that kiss really mean something? Who do you think will win the money and who will be next to get the boot? Tell us what you think below!

Jake cries: ‘I’m gunning for Kasey.’ Kasey’s just as mad: ‘Go home Jake!’ The war wages on! Who will come out as victor?

The competition’s getting tough on Bachelor Pad! It’s turned into a battle of Jake Pavelka and his ex-fiance Vienna Girardi‘s new boyfriend Kasey Kahl. Jake and Kasey are at each other’s throats and one man is “going down” during the synchronized swim competition on the Aug. 22 episode!

“To survive Bachelor Pad, it’s sink or swim,” the announcer says on the preview video. “But just when they think it’s safe to get back in the water, Bachelor Pad‘s fiercest enemies go for the kill. Jake, Kasey … one of them is going down!”

Jake doesn’t like being trapped in the same house as Vienna. “It’s uncomfortable being here with your ex-fiance,” he admits.

And Kasey’s tired of people bashing Vienna (specifically Jake). “This is my girlfriend,” Kasey warns. “I’m very protective.”

“I’m gunning for Kasey,” Jake returns.

“Go home Jake,” shouts Kasey.

Be sure to catch an all-new episode of Bachelor Pad on ABC tonight, Aug. 22 — and check back here at HollywoodLife.com for our recap!

1. Vienna Moves In With Kasey!
2. Vienna Loves Money More Than Kasey!
3. Jackie, Ames & Gia Leave The Mansion!

ABC’s hit reality show Bachelor Pad can be tough to overcome for its competitors, especially for those who are dating. But for former Bachelor winner Vienna Girardi and her boyfriend Kasey Kahl, they made it past the issues they faced while filming and are now living happily ever after … together that is!

“Kasey and I have been together for six months and we’ve just moved into our own apartment together,” Vienna tells Starsentertainment.com. “We came out stronger than we went in. If you can last Bachelor Pad in a relationship, you can last anything. No joke.”

Vienna’s happy to be with Kasey. “Yes at this part of my life I am ready to be in a committed relationship,” she shares. “I’ve had so many bad relationships, and every single one of them I am grateful for, because they made me realize what I want in a man, and what not to put up with. I waited a year before I started dating and when I met Kasey I knew he was the one. I am more than happy than I have ever been.”

She even feels the clock ticking. “I’m 25,” Vienna admits. “I want to have 5 kids one day.”

But facing the Bachelor Pad and being housed with her ex-fiance Jake Pavelka was hard. “I was being civil,” says Vienna. “Being put into a house with your ex-fiance is very difficult and a guy [might] not understand it, but it’s difficult for a woman. I never approached Jake ever, not one time. I stayed away from him. He apologized. I did forgive him. We made our peace.”

“The past is the past and I just want to leave it in the past,” adds Vienna. “I wasn’t being mean. When I said I don’t want to talk to him, I was doing that out of respect for my boyfriend. I am not going to talk to my ex-fiance the second Kasey leaves the house. Honestly, I don’t feel safe around him alone.”

And Vienna’s irritated that Bachelor Pad focused so much on her failed relationship. “I’ve moved on with my life but those things still hurt and are still hard for me,” Vienna stresses. “I just want to leave that past in the past. This is not the Vienna and Jake closure show. This is the Bachelor Pad. I am trying so hard to get over it and move on with my life. I don’t know if it was him or the producers, but every day there was something else he wanted to talk to me about. Just drop it.”

BFFs — do you think Vienna and Kasey will last?

3. Vienna Says She’s Done With Plastic Surgery!

Bachelor Jake Pavelka‘s former fiancee Vienna Giradi has always been one to choose the spotlight and it’s financial rewards over love. When she and Jake split, she quickly sold her “sad” story to the tabloids for major money. And it seems the Vienna hasn’t changed much since then. To this day, she still chooses money over love — and that’s just too bad for her current boyfriend Kasey Kahl, who’s also her co-star on Bachelor Pad. Vienna admits she’d pick the Bachelor Pad prize of $250,000 over Kasey!

“Show me the money, that’s all I’m after,” Vienna states on an episode that has yet to air. “If I had to choose between Kasey and $250,000 … my poor boyfriend!”

Vienna’s obsessed with money. “She  does love being in a relationship with Kasey, but she can’t really love anyone when money is involved,” a source close to the show tells Life & Style magazine. “She’d pick money over Kasey.”

“She loves the spotlight, and Bachelor Pad is a competitive show with a big cash prize,” a friend agrees. “That pushes her loyalty to Kasey to the back burner. You really have to manipulate and backstab your way through Bachelor Pad in order to get to the end.”

But Vienna and Kasey seem to be overcoming her money hungry attitude. “We’re in love and moving in together,” Vienna gushes. “Everything in our lives is great.”

“This girl’s my everything,” Kasey adds. “We’re positive people — we’re happy and don’t need anything else.”

BFFs — do you think it’s sad that Vienna would choose money over love? I sure as heck do!

In an attempt to reach new levels of class and sophistication, the Aug. 15 episode of ABC’s Bachelor Pad found its male contestants throwing paint-filled eggs at their bikini-clad female competitors, their targets determined by questions like “Who in the house are you least attracted to?” But it wasn’t just the ladies who spent the evening being totally demeaned! When the question turned to “Who do you want to leave the mansion this week?” all eggs turned to everyone’s favorite high-flying douche bag, Jake Pavelka!

But despite everyone hating Jake — particularly his fellow fame whore Vienna Girardi, who knew he wouldn’t be giving his winnings to charity – he managed to survive to see another week in the pad.

And then came the shockers. First, host Chris Harrison announced that two women would leave this week, rather than one of each sex, and it didn’t take long for someone to volunteer. Fed up with everyone’s bulls**t, Gia Alleman decided to leave the show on her own terms, managing to salvage one final ounce of dignity.

Jackie Gordon was picked to join Gia in the outside world — but she didn’t go packing alone! Ames Brown, who’s been all about Jackie this season, flagged down her limo and left the mansion by her side. Yes, in a Bachelor Pad first, someone actually chose love over money.

Because, you know, Bachelor couples always end up happily ever after…
