Bachelor (and bachelorette) parties aren’t my thing. This probably isn’t terribly surprising, if you read with any regularity.

I’m just not a fan of the craziness that often comes with these drunk fests. Plus, personally, that intense “everyone is here for you” focus is really something I want no part of (I had to be coaxed and convinced to even have a shower).

While many people behave themselves at bachelor parties, oftentimes these fetes just get out of control. Friends get excited and caught up in the moment and the groom goes right along with it. Suddenly, a lap dance turns into getting a number which turns into “let’s meet … wherever.”

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those woman who has ever “prohibited” a boyfriend from going to a bachelor party (unlike some women I know), and I actually helped R with some of the logistics/details for his (it’s out of town), but I am realistic that, depending on the players involved, things can go in an unsavory direction.

That was the case with Chicago’s Robert Leighton. Last summer he went on a Vegas bash, hit up a club, met a woman and allegedly brought her back to his room for a little fun.

Living by “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” the groom-to-be acted like all was peachy keen upon his return. His nosy fiancée, Lauren Serafin, apparently thought something was up because she searched through his phone and found text messages from the other woman.

She confronted him, he said they only made out, she was convinced it was something more. He soon admitted he didn’t really want to marry her. The wedding was a month away. Yes, one month.

Angry and out of a lot of money Serafin is now suing Leighton for right around $62,000 — the nonrefundable amount that had been spent on their nuptials.

All the gritty details, as well as photos of the couple, are here.

I have a thing for Mark Sanchez. I’ve said it before, but I fell for him after he demonstrated a moment of frugality when on the phone with Domino’s during this past season’s “Hard Knocks” trying to get them not to charge him for sides of ranch dressing.

For me, it was love at first bargaining attempt.

Sigh.

I was such a fan that, a few weeks back when we were at Del Frisco’s, I ordered the bone-in filet (a supposed Sanchez favorite that was not on the menu). Ridiculous, I know.

Today’s story, though, has me switching teams. The Jets quarterback, who is 24, hooked up with a 17-year-old Connecticut high schooler in his New Jersey home, according to a story in the New York Post.

“Sexy rich girl Eliza Kruger not only bragged on Facebook about “MARK F–ING SANCHEZ” texting her after they flirted at a hip Manhattan nightclub on New Year’s Eve — she also took photos of a mussed-up bed in his boudoir as ‘proof’ of their huddle just days later,” according to the piece.

Several media outlets have reached out to the young woman, and she hasn’t hesitated to share her story. She even went as far as to tell Deadspin.com that the legal age of sexual consent is 16 in New Jersey, adding, “I checked.”
