She must be DYING! Paula Abdul's ex-boyfriend has signed up to be the next Bachelor.  Restaurateur J.T. Torregiani began dating Abdul last July but the couple split last month. He was asked to take part in the show several years ago but then fell for Paula and declined. Now that the relationship is no longer, J.T. has decided to give love another shot in front of millions of people. Do millions of people really watch that show? 

A source reveals Torregiani was asked to take part in The Bachelor a couple of years ago, but he fell for Abdul and had to decline the offer. The insider insists the restaurateur is keen to find love because "he wants to settle down, have kids and a family".
