Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned — make that 23 women scorned on The Bachelor: Paris — The Women Tell All, on ABC Ch. 7 and City Ch. 8 at 9 p.m. Winnipeg’s Sarah Blondin, the reproductively challenged Dr. Allie G. and all the other jettisoned bachelorettes get to take parting shots at Nashville ER doc Travis Stork.

The gang also get to grill the show’s latest reject, actress Susan, about her career ambitions. Some are dying to know if she was really on the show for the “right reasons” — to compete for true love — or if she in fact has an ounce of self-respect and viewed the show as a stepping-stone.

Fans also get some behind-the-scenes dish, a recap of dorky poet Kirsten and her orange-peel mouthpiece, and “outrageous outtakes” that promise to look like some kind of heartbreak blooper reel. The remaining two contestants — goody-two-shoes Nashville Sarah and the much-detested Moana — deliver video messages to their former rivals and ABC promises a bit of fur will fly during the hour. Can’t hardly wait — till it’s over.

Next week, Stork makes his selection and for one of the women, and us, life goes on without him.

King of Paris

Coincidentally, Paris is the scene of another heated rivalry in writer Ross King’s latest work on art — his book The Judgment of Paris: The Revolutionary Decade that Gave the World Impressionism is making a critical splash and on best-seller lists. The Saskatchewan-born novelist (Ex-Libris) and historian (Michelangelo & the Pope’s Ceiling) reads and signs copies of the book at McNally Robinson, Grant Park, tonight at 8 p.m.

King’s story should be an inspiration to artists of all stripes. It focuses on rivals Eduoard Manet — who was widely reviled in the mid-1800s, especially after he painted his infamous nude Olympia — and Ernest Meissonier, who was wildly popular in his day but has been, historically speaking, eclipsed by Manet’s enduring fame.
