Emily Maynard & Chris Harrison Romance Alleged by Star magazine

This story comes from Star Magazine, so take it all in with a grain of salt.

According to the tabloid, The Bachelorette star Emily Maynard and newly-single host Chris Harrison are "madly in love."

I know, it's probably total bullsh-t, but it was too hilarious to pass up.

Emily has four suitors left on the show but the real object of her affection is host Chris, Star claims.

While the revelation is new, the "electric attraction" has been causing sparks to fly between them since she was a contestant on the show in Brad Womack's season.

"Chris always openly told staffers that Emily was the most beautiful woman he'd ever laid eyes on," said an "insider".

Even former contestants were aware of the potential for romance.

"From the beginning, I always said there was no way Emily was really going to end up with one of the guys because she really wanted to be with Chris, and it was obvious he wanted to be with her too," past winner Vienna Girardi told Star. "I vacationed with Chris and his family in St. Lucia and know him well. He was never with his wife. He's such a flirt," she revealed.

"I guarantee Emily and Chris will end up tother in the end," Vienna went on to predict. "If she gets engaged to another man, the show will probably spin it as a love triangle."

Clearly, the Star was starved for material this week.
