Shayne Lamas

We were watching Leave it to Lamas the other night (there was nothing else on ... um, yeah, that's the reason) and we couldn't help but remember the ol' days.

The ol' days when there was no Shauna Sand sex tape and Shyane Lamas was just that ditz from The Bachelor who Matt Grant was engaged to for like a day.

Then we got to thinking that Shayne reminds us a bit of another spoiled and skanky relative of a famous guy, Daisy De La Hoya (niece of boxing champ Oscar).

It's a battle of useless, bleach-blonde reality TV fame whores. One that will likely go down to the wire. Simple question for you: Who would you rather ...

Who would you rather ...

Shayne Lamas, one of the many daughters of actor Lorenzo Lamas, is knocking her former stepmother Shauna Sand for her staring role in sex tape.

As we reported yesterday, a Shauna Sand sex tape is set to be released. The former model admits she was involved, but does not want it released.

Yeah, right.

Shayne, who you may remember as the winner of The Bachelor season starring Matt Grant (they lasted a good month) is calling BS on Shauna:

"Isn't that convenient that her tape just happened to be leaked the day after my show premiered. I just feel bad for my little sisters," she said.

Leave it to Lamas debuted Sunday on E!

We'll keep you posted on anything we hear regarding Shauna Sand sex tape, but that's all we've got at the moment. Thank you for weighing in, Shayne Lamas.

Shayne had no comment on who will be the next Bachelor. However we're sure she could be convinced to enlist as a contestant again if the producers allowed.

Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss is getting ready to give Shayne Lamas and her "good-looking" family the Kim Kardashian treatment - reality TV show style.

"Not that the Kardashians aren't good looking, but the Lamas  family is a very good looking family," Fleiss said.

"You see Shayne, her sister Dakota and [their brother, former Lindsay Lohan boy toy] A.J. Lamas and obviously [her father] Lorenzo anchoring it with his rugged handsomeness. They're wild, crazy characters, but also very good looking."

Fleiss said the E! reality series starring last season's The Bachelor winner and her family and friends is currently in pre-production - and E! is excited.

"It's very strong. [E! programming executive] Lisa Berger is very happy with it," Fleiss said. "We think it has a chance to be a real hit for them."

Shayne Lamas received the final rose and a marriage proposal from The Bachelor star Matt Grant on the season finale last May. They lasted a few weeks at least.

The couple called off their engagement in July after a report surfaced that she had traveled to Las Vegas and cheated on him with media mogul Justin Wenerger.

Shayne Lamas denied she cheated on Matt Grant and claimed that although the couple hadn't announced it at the time, their relationship was over long before.

In addition, Shayne attributed Grant's inability to handle her hard-partying Hollywood lifestyle as the reason they spilt. She's a class act, through and through.

Yesterday, both Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo turned a year wiser. How cool is that? Airport-brawling, Zac Efron-loving Nikki Blonsky also had a birthday.

Today, Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo celebrates both a birthday and a wedding anniversary, while her co-star Eric Dane blew out the candles yesterday.

Reality TV waste of space Shayne Lamas surely got lucky Sunday, while Simon Monjack surely has something special planned for Brittany Murphy this evening.

Despite his ex-fiancée’s lies claims, The Bachelor star Matt Grant is definitely not cool with Shayne Lamas keeping their engagement ring.

“It wasn’t a ‘gift’ so much,” the British-born Grant says. “It’s not a TV or a handbag. It’s a symbol of a marriage that didn’t happen.”

Shayne Lamas recently said she planned to keep the 2.85-carat diamond ring “safe and clean and in a glass box — like a glass slipper.”

She claimed Matt Grant approved, adding, “He wants to come over and look at it.”

He says that conversation never happened.

“We never discussed this,” he says. “I never said it was cool to just keep it. If she said we spoke about it, then she just made that up. Sometimes she thinks she can say anything and that I’ll go along with it.”

Amazing to think these two never got married, isn't it?

Almost as soon as the final rose was presented, Grant and Lamas were dogged by rumors of infidelity. Specifically, Shayne was said to have been screwing Justin Weneger in Las Vegas. They split earlier this month.

Matt Grant says he doesn’t want the ring back, necessarily, but thinks Shayne Lamas should at least auction it off for charity.

“Let’s have something good come out of this,” he said of the $65,000 rock. “Why hold onto it? What’s the point?”

Their engagement has ended, but Shayne Lamas has every intention of keeping the ring presented to her by The Bachelor star Matt Grant.

“I have it and I am going to keep it forever for the rest of my life,” Lamas said. “It’s safe and clean and in a glass box like a glass slipper.”

And according to Lamas, Matt Grant has no problem with that arrangement: “Of course (he doesn’t). He wants to come over and look at it.”

Fans of the reality show watched Grant get down on bended knee and present the ring to Shayne Lamas on the final episode of The Bachelor.

A month later, the two were no longer living together.

“I did not cheat on Matt,” insists the ditzy Shayne. “I would never, ever cheat on Matt. He was my fiancé.”

Her break-up with Grant came on the heels of reports that Lamas was spotted partying in Las Vegas with Justin Weneger, a local businessman.

Every so often in the crazy celebrity gossip biz, a story hits that is so sad and so shocking that it knocks the wind out of you, leaving you shaking your head and wondering what, if anything, you can count on in this world.

This is not one of those stories.

In fact, it might be the biggest The-Hollywood-Gossip-told-you-so of all time. The "engagement" between British bachelor Matt Grant and horny, ditzy fiancee Shayne Llamas is officially over. Take a deep breath and try to contain yourselves.

Just two days after New York Post reported that Shayne Lamas had cheated on The Bachelor star with Las Vegas media mogul Justin Weneger, Lamas phoned Grant and called off their wedding, which was apparently scheduled.

Now that comes as a bit of a shock.

On The Bachelor season finale, Shayne Lamas' eyes were fixed firmly on the prize - 15 minutes of fame and a Girls Gone Wild magazine cover shoot.

Spies said the aspiring actress is planning a trip to see Justin Weneger soon. Matt Grant, who has moved out of Shayne's pad, is said to be devastated.

Maybe next time he won't pick some annoying airhead who's willing to distribute the vadge and say just about anything she thinks will boost her profile.

At the recent Bachelorette finale, Shayne Lamas and Matt Grant - engaged as of The Bachelor finale earlier this year - told everyone they were still together and to "not believe the rumors." We still believed the rumors all the way.

Looks like we may be right.

While Bachelorette hotties DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak appear headed for the altar, Matt Grant and Shayne Lamas ... well ...

The New York Post reports that Shayne Lamas was in Las Vegas last week with Justin Weneger, a media mogul of sorts. They were apparently "hooking up" at Blush in the Wynn. A source said, "Matt Grant has no idea. She hasn't dumped him yet."

O-for-12! O-for-12! Face it, Shayne Lamas and Matt Grant are doomed.

We can only hope that Shayne becomes the next star of The Bachelorette.

That airheaded, annoying oh-face machine really brightened our Mondays for a time. No doubt she could carry her own show - and would eat up the publicity faster than the dudes would eat her ... is this thing on?

So far, no Bachelor couple has made it to the altar (Bachelorette Trista Sutter has). But the show's latest lovebirds are determined to be first.

There is no wedding date set, she's a total basket case and he already moved out of her apartment in L.A., but a source close to Shayne Lamas (her dad, Lorenzo!) says she and Matt Grant remain on track for a wedding.

Will Matt and Shayne beat this season's newly-engaged Bachelorette stars, DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak, to the altar? For what it's worth, DeAnna and Jesse have already set a date: May 9, 2009. What do you think?

Who'll wed first: Matt Grant & Shayne Lamas? DeAnna Pappas & Jesse Csincsak?

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.
