Enter two veterans of the ABC smash: Ali Fedotowsky and Ashley Hebert! The sixth and seventh season stars joined the North Carolina single mom, 25, at Blushington in West Hollywood on Wednesday for some much needed girl talk.

"They were giving her tips and seemed to all get along well," a source tells Us Weekly of the meeting, captured by ABC's cameras.

Maynard, whose engagement to Bachelor Brad Womack went up in flames last year, is "excited but also scared" about doing the show, another source adds. "It's hard to put herself out there again."

Womack. 38, gave her his blessing, the second source notes.

Fedotowsky, 27, called off her own 18-month engagement to Roberto Martinez in November. Hebert and fiance J.P. Rosenbaum, however, are still going strong, and recently moved in together in NYC.
