The Bachelor's Jake Pavelka shows off his new girlfriend (who looks a lot like Vienna Girardi)
The Bachelor star Jake Pavelka showed off his new girlfriend last night - and she looks a lot like the old one.
Pavelka was anxious to tell reporters all about his new love, Dallas wedding planner Meghan Jones, whose blonde hair and brown eyes were reminiscent of his ex-girlfriend Vienna Girardi.
The new couple were attending the party celebrating the 200th episode of Dancing With The Stars, of which Pavelka is a former contestant.
After holding hands and sitting in the audience for the episode taping, the pair walked the red carpet to the afterparty.

Jake told People.com that they met 'a couple of months ago and we just clicked.'
Meeting a woman away from reality show cameras was 'nice,' he says. 'It’s normal.'
Dallas pilot Pavelka – who split with fiancée Vienna Girardi in June, has been laying low for the past few months.
With acting ambitions, Pavelka said he's working on a new series, but added: 'I can't tell you anything more about it yet. It's 18 episodes.'
His new relationship appears to be a priority for him and the pair are planning on spending a lot of time together in the future.

'I am from here. I have family in Orange County,' girlfriend Jones said.
She plans to be with Pavelka for thanksgiving later this month.
'My parents are coming out and my brother is still here,' Pavelka said.
He's also planning a romantic trip with his new love.
'I think tomorrow we may skip town. One of the greatest things about being a pilot is being able to jump on a plane to Australia spur of the moment,' Pavelka said.
'We may go there or Bangkok or Bali. We've been looking at the weather so that will help us decide.'
Pavelka got engaged to Vienna Girardi in March, following their stint on popular reality show, The Bachelor.
While the two happily waltzed together during Pavelka's follow-up spot on Dancing with the Stars, the smiles were lost soon after as the relationship deteriorated and the couple went their separate ways.
The fall out from their relationship saw the two engage in a very public slanging match.
Pavelka said he was troubled by what he called 'trust issues' with Girardi and broke up with her over a long-distance phone call from the set of TV show Drop Dead Diva.
