Q: Is it true that Chris Harrison is going to be the next Bachelor? I think it’s a great idea if it’s true. – M.M.

A: The longtime host of ABC’s “The Bachelor” and its franchises is 47 years old and divorced. It’s been rumored – or at least hoped – that one day the cameras would be turned and Harrison would become the new bachelor.

For now, though, he’s happily dating someone else in the industry, “Entertainment Tonight” correspondent Lauren Zima. However, back in November he appeared on “ET” and joked that he had been “working on my abs … just in case you need me as the 50-year-old bachelor.”

We wish Harrison and Zima all the happiness in the world, but if it doesn’t work out, I’d like to see who Harrison gives his final rose to.

Q: What happened to Ariel Winter of “Modern Family”? I saw a photo of her in a magazine recently, and she looks like she’s lost a lot of weight. She’s beautiful to me whether she’s curvy or skinny. I just hope she’s taking care of herself. – K.P.

A: Winter has never been shy about addressing her fans or critics over how she dresses, so it’s not a surprise that she was direct in her response to speculation about her weight loss. Some fans weren’t as kind as you though, and accused her of abusing drugs or getting plastic surgery in order to alter her appearance. In response, Winter denied having surgery and was outraged that people thought she was using drugs like cocaine or meth. Winter further explained on Instagram that she had been on medication that caused weight gain as a side effect, but her physician switched her to another medicine that regulated her metabolism better.

Q: When will “The Librarian” movies air on cable, and will the TV show be back again soon? – J.H.

A: Alas, you just missed a marathon of “The Librarian” trilogy starring Noah Wyle, as the UPtv channel aired them Jan. 21. However, you still can see them by renting via Amazon Prime Video, or buy the three-film DVD set on Amazon.com. “The Librarian” trilogy included “Quest for the Spear,” “Return to King Solomon’s Mines” and “The Curse of the Judas Chalice.”

A TV show spinoff added an “S” to its title and aired for four seasons on TNT. Unfortunately, “The Librarians” was canceled by the network last year. Producer Dean Devlin was hoping to shop it around to other channels and streaming services, but there haven’t been any recent updates. Check the Twitter page (twitter.com/LibrariansTNT) periodically to see if there is any news about a fifth season or if the movies are going to air on television again.

As for Wyle, keep an eye out for his new drama, “The Red Line,” which is set to premiere this spring on CBS.
