Handsome single dad Jason Mesnick opens up on his shocking decision to dump "The Bachelor" winner Melissa Rycroft and instead choose runner-up Molly Malaney.  Mesnick tells People magazine he would have rather delivered the bad news to Rycroft in private, but says the contract he signed with the show required him to make his painful declaration on TV.  "That was part of the deal. I signed up for it in my contract. Your relationship is -- good and bad -- in front of everybody," Mesnick says. "If I could have, I would have seen Melissa the night before. It killed me. It kills me now," he told People.  "I didn't say something right away because I wanted to figure out what was going in inside of me," he said. "There was part of me that wanted things to work out with Melissa so bad. But the whole other piece was I had these crazy feelings for Molly."  Mesnick, who was rejected by Deanna Pappas on "The Bacherlotte" last year, says he knows a lot of viewers have a different opinion of him now and would say: "'That guy is a jerk.' But I'm not proud of what I had to do."

"The Insider" was at the Los Angeles premiere of 'Watchmen' Monday night -- where we talked to the stars of the superhero mystery adventure that asks the question: If the heroes watch over society, who watches over them?   "Most studio produced movies based on comic books fulfill a very recognizable expectation," actor Billy Crudup tells "The Insider". "It's nice to discover something that is so interested in telling a different version of the story, so I just wanted to be a part of that." Zack Snyder ('300,' 'Dawn of the Dead') brings Watchmen' to life in a big-screen adaptation of the critically-acclaimed graphic novel. In theaters March 6, 'Watchmen' takes place in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society. The plot of the film is set in motion when one of their own, The Comedian, is murdered. Soon a conspiracy to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes comes to light. Will it have devastating effects on the future of mankind? Watch the video to see stars Malin Akerman, Matthew Goode, and Carla Gugino share their thoughts about bringing 'Watchmen' to the big screen and their film's big premiere!

Katie Couric sat down with David Letterman on "The Late Show" Monday night, and she revealed that although baseball star Alex Rodriguez did not come clean to her about his steroid use he actually sought her advice on his baseball career. Rodriguez appeared on "60 Minutes" in 2007 and during that interview he told the Emmy Award-winning broadcaster that he was not using steroids. Couric explained to Letterman that she had no reason to doubt Rodriguez and thought he was telling the truth because she generally tries to believe the best in people. The "CBS Evening News" anchor explained that Rodriguez later called to apologize for his dishonesty after reports surfaced that he had used performance enhancing drugs. "He said, 'I'm really sorry - I'd love to sit down and talk to you about all this sometime.' He actually wrote me a note, and I believe it was hand delivered." Couric also revealed that this wasn't the only phone call she received from the Yankees shortstop, he actually called her at one point for her advice. "I was talking to him a lot during that whole opting out period," Couric says. "At one time he even asked me for career advice. He said, 'what team do you think I should play for?'" After hearing this news Letterman joked: "That should have told you he was on the juice, that he's calling you."

Who would have guessed the grand finale of 'The Bachelor' would have come to this? With the pool of beautiful contenders whittled down to two women, Molly and Melissa, who became the "loves of his life" -- and with the surprise return of Deanna Pappas with an ultimatum -- handsome single dad Jason Mesnick made a controversial choice that will go down forever in 'The Bachelor' history. "After everything I've been through, I've never been so conflicted in my life," said Jason before he made his final choice. What happened? How did it get to this? Flashback to the beginning of Monday night's season finale: a fun game of golf with Melissa -- and an opportunity to bond with Jason's three-year-old son Ty. Melissa was worried how she'd do with the little guy, but ultimately she was just "herself" and they bonded. Then, it was time to meet the rest of Jason's family -- his overprotective mom, dad, brothers and sister-in-law -- to answer "the tough questions." They've seen him get hurt before with DeAnna, and one key concern was the factor that Jason hadn't met Melissa's parents yet. Later, Jason at least had an opportunity to talk with Melissa's parents on the phone. "It's Jason's time to have all that he deserves," said his father, who recognized the sparkle in his eye and their mutual love for one another. "I'm just so happy for you." At the end of the day, Melissa felt comfortable that she could fit in Jason's world -- and Jason seemed truly in love. "I could spend the rest of my life with either of these girls," he said. Then it was Molly's turn to meet Ty and Jason's family. But could she pass the family test? "I cannot fall in love with someone unless they meet Ty, period," said Jason. "It made me a little nervous," said Molly when Ty didn't immediately take to her at the beach. "I was freaking out." But soon Ty got over his shyness and it became very natural for the two to get along. "This is how life could be, and it's so fun to think like that," said Molly. Next up came the family gauntlet, and after pressing Molly about whether she truly loved their Jason and was willing to commit to him and Ty, she said, "All I can ask you to do is trust me." Then, each of the ladies spent some quality time with Jason -- and declared their absolute love for him, with Molly pulling out all the stops and giving "110%" with a sensual massage, delicious dinner and special scrapbook. Molly or Melissa? Jason was torn as to who to spend his life with. "I see the sincerity in both of them," said Jason, whose mother said he had to "trust his gut." Then, drama: Jason's world was thrown off with the return of DeAnna looking for a second chance. "I came here because I lost out on a great man," she said. "There are a lot of things I'd have done differently. If I would have chosen you, it would have worked." "I guess all I can do is thank you for this opportunity," said Jason. "But I've found two girls that I'm completely falling for. I've got to follow my heart now." "You haven't proposed yet; you still have a chance, and that's why I'm here," said DeAnna. "If you're going to propose tomorrow, you should look further." Finally, it was decision time. After selecting a beautiful, sparkling engagement ring, the final ceremony began. Molly met Jason overlooking the spectacular bluff. "Before you begin, I want to say this has been the most incredible journey I've ever been on," she said. But an ashen Jason told her, "I don't know how I could ever let you go, but I have to. … I'm in love with somebody else. So sorry." "I think you've made a mistake. A big one," said Molly. "I just don't get it." After letting Molly go, Jason was moved to tears. Molly was in a state of shock, and couldn't get over the idea that Jason had just made a huge mistake… "Now, I hope I've made the right decision," said Jason before he finally declared his love to Melissa. "Putting that ring on her finger is going to feel so amazing." "I came into this looking for someone exactly like you," he told Melissa before romantically getting down on one knee. "You make me happier than I've ever been in my entire life. … I am completely in love with you. …Will you marry me?" Of course, there was also the business of the final flower: "Melissa, will you accept this rose?" he asked. "Absolutely!" squealed Melissa. Then, Ty joined the happy couple, who took the plunge -- literally -- in the pool. Happy ending, right? Wrong…. On the emotionally difficult "The Bachelor: After the Final Rose" (taking place six weeks after the proposal), Jason announced some shocking news to show host Chris Harrison: "It's been a crazy time. ... Since this all ended, things have been different. We're not right for each other. … For that love and passion to not be there just breaks my heart. … Over the last few weeks, I haven't been able to stop thinking about Molly; I can't control how I'm feeling." Asked if he was still in love with Molly, he nodded, "Yeah." Was he going to end the engagement with Melissa? "I have to," he responded. "I can't live my life with any regrets, and I have to ask Molly, 'What if?'" Then, Melissa came out to join Jason. He told her point blank, "We're not right for each other. … I still have feelings for Molly." "I thought things were perfect," said a devastated Melissa. "You don't want to fight to see if it would work because you're having doubts over somebody you said goodbye to? You're such a bastard. …Why did you put a ring on my finger? That was a once-in-a-lifetime thing for me and you took it from me. … I'm so mad at you." She handed the ring back: "I don't get it at all, because none of it makes sense." "I hate myself for what I'm doing to Melissa," said Jason, who stood by his decision. She chastised him one more time for putting her through such emotional heartbreak: "Don't call me. Don't text me anymore. Leave me alone, please." And then she was gone: "It's just an awful feeling to give somebody your heart and trust, and then they just throw it away," she said to the camera. Enter Molly, who told Chris that she was still working through her feelings about Jason. "He's such an incredible person, and I will never deny that," she said. "Those kind of feelings don't just disappear. I was in love with Jason; all of that won't go away overnight. My feelings have not changed." Chris returned to the set for the emotional reunion with Molly. After they hashed out the last moments of the show when he chose Melissa over her, he broke the news that he and Melissa were over: "I ended things with her because I haven't been able to stop thinking about you," he said. Molly was dumbfounded. Could this be true? "I'm very confused; I think we still have a lot to talk about, but my feelings never went away. I think we can see where things go," she said. "This is something I dreamt of, but never expected to hear. … I am blown away right now. … I would be lying if I didn't say I was glad that this is happening right now." The pair sealed it with a kiss: "We're both following our hearts and doing what's right for us," said Jason. "It's not the classiest or coolest thing to do in the world, but you can't control what's inside you." Watch "The Insider" for more highlights from the incredible 'Bachelor' finale on ABC!

This summer's most highly anticipated blockbuster explodes into theaters May 21, and "The Insider" has your first look behind the scenes of 'Terminator Salvation' -- and Christian Bale near-accident! "It was a challenging scene -- we had to build a lake -- and Christian went for it as he always does," explains director McG. "He turned an ankle when he jumped off the helicopter, but he survived and was able to make it to the water's edge." "He wants to do everything himself; he's a guy who really likes to feel it," continues McG. "But there's insurance issues and you get producers to come out and sort of de-engage him from the hook which he's about to hang from the side of the building." McG tells us that he's shown original Terminator Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger "footage along the way" of the project and regards him as a "partner." But will Ah-nuld be back for this fourth 'Terminator' installment? "It's hard to say," says McG. "That's one of the secrets of the picture, so I suppose that one's for May 21st." Watch "The Insider" for more 'Terminator Salvation'!
