That took, what, almost an entire month? Way to go guys!

The Bachelor star Matt Grant, is no longer living with fiancée Shayne Lamas, though the Brit insists that all is well with the two.

Sure thing, Matt. You tell yourself that.

The couple have cohabitated at Shayne Lamas’ Century City, Calif., place since the Bachelor season ended with the two getting engaged.

But Matt Grant moved because the two “need space to grow.”

“I had to get my own life out here (in L.A.),” says Grant.

“Get my career and friends and have my own circle. That’s important in a relationship. That you are not entirely on top of someone.”

Matt Grant and Shayne Lamas got engaged on The Bachelor in May.

The couple has been dogged by rumors of discord since their TV engagement.

Grant says that they are doing well overall, though.

He gave her the rose and an engagement ring.

She reacted like she sat on his face. Then she surprised him with a very classy photo spread in Girls Gone Wild magazine.

But The Bachelor star, Matt Grant, says he has no problem with fame-whore fiancée Shayne Lamas’ revealing pictures in Joe Francis’ rag.

“As we English say, I really feel it was ‘a storm in a teacup,’” Grant said. “I believe it was blown out of proportion. I stand by Shayne 110 percent.”

There was a flurry of media appearances after Grant got down on one knee to propose to Lamas on the finale of The Bachelor, but crickets after the Girls Gone Wild photos hit the web the very next Tuesday.

The pictures in the issue out June 3 do not show Shayne Lamas naked, but in this shot, she’s wearing little more than a smile and a wedding veil.

Hey, Heidi Montag? Is that you? Oh, sorry. It’s just Shayne Lamas.

The winner of this past season’s The Bachelor is looking surprisingly (or maybe not surprisingly) Heidi-esque in a recent photo shoot, obviously staged to help Shayne Lamas cash in on her newfound 15 minutes of fame. 14… 13…

The borderline attractive Shayne Lamas gets wet and wild in a bikini.

Shayne Lamas won the final rose on the The Bachelor Monday when Matt Grant got down on one knee and proposed to the 22-year-old fame-seeking ditz aspiring actress with a 2.85-carat Tacori platinum and diamond eternity ring.

The soon-to-be-wed couple spoke to Us Weekly about falling in love on reality TV, e-mailing 50 times a day and their wedding plans:

Us: Let’s talk about the happy news and how you’re feeling. Matt what made you choose Shayne on The Bachelor finale?

Shayne Lamas and Matt Grant: Together for at least a few months.

Matt Grant: Well, from really early on it was obvious that Shayne and I had chemistry, a natural rapport. Everything was just always a pleasure to be around her. I always at ease and it always felt that we were at ease. If anything, it was just almost the point feeling negative from it was that she’s too good to be true. It’s funny cause I kept saying to myself, off set, at my hotel, it’s almost too good to be true - quite the negative. I realized there really wasn’t any that we did just spin it. It’s just kind of funny when you don’t expect that when you meet someone on reality TV.

Shayne Lamas: I feel the same way.

Us: Obviously the chemistry between you two was pretty obvious throughout the entire the series, I would say. How are you both feeling now?

We’ve talked about it at length, but in case you can’t get enough of Matt Grant and Shayne Dahl Lamas, here’s a video of them getting engaged on The Bachelor on Monday night. You may tear up (or vomit in your mouth) at will.

That took a whole 12 hours.

She may be engaged, but The Bachelor winner Shayne Lamas — who got a ring last night — isn’t saving everything for future hubby Matt Grant.

She’s appearing on the cover of Girls Gone Wild magazine. Classy.

In a sizzling six-page photo spread, Shayne Lamas, 22, reveals details of her time on the ABC reality show. She admits that she jumped on board The Bachelor in order to seek true fame and racy photo spreads love.

“It’s what every girl wants,” she says in the chat, characterizing her fiancé, Matt Grant, as being “very casual [and] respectful of women.”

One day after winning The Bachelor, Shayne Lamas is cashing in!

Girls Gone Wild sleaze-bag publisher Joe Francis says Lamas’ appeal is easy to sum up: “Shayne has a genuine ‘girl next door’ quality,” he said in a press release.

“And she also happens to be very hot.”

Don’t expect to see Shayne Lamas nude, though. Her Girls Gone Wild photo spread, while sizzling, features no naked pictures. Probably no o-faces either.

Few things match a good “o-face” on the unintentional comedy scale.

Popularized in the 1999 film Office Space, this is the face supposedly made when one is engaged in, and presumably enjoying, the act of copulating.

Demonstration below, by actor Greg Pitts:

What we’ve noticed in recent months is that many celebrities make similar expressions when they most likely aren’t intending to … or are they?

Case in point? Shayne Lamas on The Bachelor last night…

The incredible Shayne Lamas, 22, was extremely excited to be sitting on Matt Grant’s face have won the final rose on The Bachelor finale Monday night.

Fear not, Shayne. Lamas is hardly the only o-facing celeb we’ve seen.

Was Apolo Anton Ohno hamming it up for the cameras, or unable to handle Julianne Hough without a new pair of pants? Is Avril Lavigne pounding out a guitar solo, or riding Deryck Whibley? is Hillary Clinton excited about a recent political victory, or something Bill did under the table?

Chelsea had a good run, but as this Hollywood Gossip editor concluded in yesterday’s Face-Off, Shayne Lamas was simply out of her league.

After 10 weeks, Matt Grant had narrowed the field down to two, and despite some tough moments with his family, it was an easy call - Shayne Lamas.

At the final rose ceremony, Chelsea was the first out of the limo, which is never a good sign. Matt told her she’s amazing, and this experience would not be the same without her… BUT it’s just not gonna work out long-term.

Upset at the rejection, Chelsea lashed out at Matt Grant and called Shayne “the fakest person” on The Bachelor. Matt wasn’t pleased with this.

But he had more important business to attend to - like getting engaged! He tells Shayne Lamas that he came here for true love and found it with her. Matt then got down on one knee and shocked Shayne by proposing to her.

Shayne Lamas: Such a warm, caring, fame-seeking soul.

She happily answered yes. Lots of kissing and squealing followed. They said “I love you” approximately 74 times. Her hair was in her eyes. We cried a little.

Below are photos of some of the magic moments last night, with Matt Grant agonizing over his decision, told Chelsea the unexpected bad news, and then popped the question to our girl Shayne Lamas. Click to enlarge!

The season finale of The Bachelor is tonight, and Shayne Lamas looks poised to land the prize. That being Matt Grant. But will Chelsea stand in her way? That’s the subject of today’s Face-Off. Brace yourself as The Hollywood Gossip debates …

WILL SHAYNE LAMAS WIN THE HEART OF THE BACHELOR, MATT GRANT?

YES by Free Britney

Face it, no one goes on The Bachelor for love.

It would a nice side effect, to be sure, if one found the love of one’s life. But the women and the bachelors themselves go on the show because primarily, they are enamored with fame, at least to a certain extent.

If Matt Grant merely wanted to find love, he’d join a local London-based service, or go online to millionaireloves.com or one of the many other crappy dating sites that spams The Hollywood Gossip constantly.

NOTE: Get a new career, millionaireloves.com spammers.

No, he wanted to date hot women on TV, and Shayne Lamas fits the Bachelor bill better than anyone in the show’s history - entertaining, reasonably hot, ethically questionable and shamelessly trying to be famous.

Shayne Lamas‘ listed profession is “actress.” Now that the 22-year-old has her first taste of fame, she’ll stop at nothing to remain in the spotlight.

She’ll laugh at the right jokes, appear adventurous and fun, cry if things don’t go well, go down on Matt in a movie theater, probably even murder her competition if she has to. Long story short, Chelsea has no shot.

Last night on The Bachelor, Matt Grant took all three of the remaining women to Barbados. At the end of their dates, Matt would send one home, leaving only two in the running to be his trophy ex-fiancee.

Matt first met up with Shayne Lamas and they took a spin on some jet skis. They also bounced around on a floating trampoline and took a swim in the ocean. Shayne showed off her splits and straddling skills. Really.

At dinner, he invited her to spend the night with him up in the suite. After thinking about it for a split second, Shayne Lamas said yes.

Next, Matt headed out on his date with Amanda - an exciting zip line ride through the jungle. At dinner, Amanda really puts her heart out on the line, so Matt Grant can see how much she cares about him.

She tells him that she can’t picture life without him and Matt Grant hands her the fantasy suite card. She, too, eagerly says yes.

Finally, Matt Grant meets up with Chelsea and the two head out on a boat ride. She keeps her distance from him for some reason.

At dinner, he tells her this is starting to feel more like a friendship. Chelsea quickly tells him that she really does care for him. She accepts the fantasy suite card and shows up wearing nothing but a black nightie.

At the rose ceremony, Matt gave the first rose to Shayne Lamas and, in a bit of a shocker, the second to Chelsea. Fare thee well, Amanda.
