The Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky, whose season premiered last night, says she’s no longer feuding with nemesis Vienna Girardi. All together now … Phew.

Chris Harrison, the show’s pimp-in-chief, confirmed the hatchet burying at Dancing With the Stars (which aired right after The Bachelorette season premiere).

The two ladies, who famously clashed on The Bachelor while in competition for Jake Pavelka, even “hugged each other and, said ‘Hi,’” back stage at the taping.

“That’s one of the ways Ali has grown as a person,” Chris said.

What, by not being a completely catty b!tch? Great job, Ali!

The Bachelorette star Ali, left, and The Bachelor winner Vienna … yeah.

Back in the day, Ali Fedotowsky would call out Vienna Girardi for, among other things, bragging that she’d “shake her boobs in Jake’s face,” but not any longer.

“[Ali] regretted some of that,” Harrison added. “I get it. Look, in the heat of the moment, on the show, you say some things, you regret certain things, there are things you look back and might not do and that was one of them. She apologized for that.”

Fedotowsky is “so happy for Jake,” Harrison went on about the new star. “She realizes now that it wasn’t meant to be, she wasn’t supposed to be with Jake.”

Harrison said he thinks Vienna Girardi got a bad rap as the villain on the show, and that anyone writing her off is presumptuous. Can’t we all just get along?

Apparently we can/ Jake Pavelka even posted a pic on Facebook of him, his fiancee and Ali. Oh, how times change (click here to be THG’s Facebook friend).

Reality Show Racist? Socialite Says She’s Unfairly Portrayed on High Society

High Society, Jules Kirby

One of the stars of CW’s new reality series High Society says she’s been unfairly edited to look like the villain, but Jules Kirby’s statements on the show don’t exactly help her case.

The socialite was quoted on Wednesday’s debut episode as saying her “friends do tend not to be homosexuals, fat or Jewish people” and that “I use the N word sometimes… and I really think it should be okay to say.”

She’s also caught saying, one night at a club, “That black girl has got to get away.”

Seconds later, the show’s editors wittily insert another, apparently sincere comment from Kirby: “My dream is to work for the United Nations.”

Viewers next see her berate an employee at the hotel where she’s living.

The New York Post’s Page Six notes that Kirby took to Facebook Thursday to complain about her edit. “I am sorry if you were offended,” she said. “The show is scripted, and we are given lines and characters. My grandmother is married to a Jew … Everything was cut and pasted to make it look like I was a stupid b—h, and I regret that they do not do a better job of saying it is a docu-soap, not a reality show.”

Kirby’s pique with the show play nicely into its narrative: She plays villain to our apparent protagonist, newly single socialite Tinlsey Mortimer, as she moves from the Upper East Side to (gasp) Midtown. Kirby lives with Mortimer’s sister, Dabney Mercer, and feuds with the rehabbed-but-still drinking Paul Johnson-Calderon, a hard-spending trust-funder best known for wearing bow ties (who has also been accused of stealing a purse).

The Kirby presented on the show is far different from the public personae she tries to present. In a recent interview she touted her outdoorsy hobbies and “environmentally friendly as it can get” boutique. And she may not have to worry about too many people seeing her portrayal: The show had just 1.4 million viewers and lost in its timeslot Wednesday.

A CW rep did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

High Society airs Wednesdays at 9:30/8:30c.
