As for Melissa dating Drake... I can't actually find a decent source (although if you google "Melissa Lingafelt" "Drake Bell" you'll get lots of less-than-decent ones) but the proof is in this photo... Drake, Melissa and Julianna White (Miss New Jersey Teen USA 2006 & Melissa's roommate at Miss Teen USA) in New York. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 21:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the recent vandalism and info about Melissa dating Drake Bell. A photo of two people standing next to each other is not proof that they are dating. It shouldn't be in the page unless someone finds a real source. – Elected 22:24, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

According to her mother and to Melissa herself the two are dating - so I have readded it. -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 00:19, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia does not accept original research. Unless the information can be found in a reliable source, it does not belong in the article. – Elected 02:43, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. I've done some digging and finally pulled up a ref: [1]. The text in this scanned page is tiny (not my scan, found this on a message board) but from what I can make out it says:

Caption: We spied Drake in Manhattan holding hands with his real-life GF Melissa Lingafelt!

Text: For Whom the Bell Tolls: Drake is hush-hush on the girlfriend talk.... he met his girlfriend Melissa after judging Miss Teen USA. The North Carolinan beauty was First Runner-up... but she's #1 in Drake's heart!

Is this enough? My head is sore from squinting! -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 07:45, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Great, good work. – Elected 09:53, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hollywood Xmas Parade

Can't find another source but there is this picture from Wireimage (see this page for further details). -- PageantUpdater • talk | contribs | esperanza 07:54, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Isn't is biased to say that Drake can do better and would be better off with an Australian? I don't think there is any need for this bit of information. This is making a negative comment about a living person. Kirstyem 15:33, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
