Well, now that Brody Jenner's back with Jayde Nicole (and Kristin Cavallari's back to being single), it's time for K-Cav and Stacie to get outta this two-boy town -- and spend a drama-free weekend in Vegas, baby! At least, that WAS the plan ... 'til Justin Bobby showed up for a surprise visit.
Fortunately, K-Cav's a sucker for the grand romantic gesture and, before long, she and JB are sharing a hotel room locking lips and making sure word of their little Sin City adventure slowly trickles back to L.A. (and Audrina Patridge). But will their vacation fling lead to something more? Watch as K-Cav and Justin's fun night out quickly devolves into a high stakes morning after. Hey, that's what you get for waking up in Vegas...
As the reigning smog capital of the world, L.A's pretty much the last place you'd wanna go to bone up on your astronomy. 'Course, if it's stargazing you're after, you won't find a better view on this side of the equator -- and last night, all the biggest/brightest stars of Tinseltown were out at Us Weekly's annual Hot Hollywood party.
So who lit up the room? Amid the usual melange of musicians, socialites and actresses (like Leona Lewis, Nicky Hilton and Eliza Dushku), Hillzies Kristin Cavallari, Audrina Patridge and Stephanie Pratt glimmered and shined in glitzy metallics, sparkly bangles and sexy corsets. Take a look at our Hills gals' shimmery red carpet style and let us know who you think had the most dazzling dress of the night!
Ever heard the saying 'fake it til you make it'? Well, given the current financial sitch, our closet's mostly packed with discount designer duds (i.e. Marc Jacobs markdowns) and items that could almost pass for the real deal. And since not everyone grew up on a steady diet of Loehmann's and Filene's Basement, we thought we'd share some of our tricks of the trade and show you how to get the look for less! Starting with: Lauren Conrad's latest red carpet ensemble.
LC looked like a million bucks at last night's Samsung launch party, sizzlin' in an LBD (with sexy, ruffled skirt), a flowy black cardigan and playful peep-toe pumps. Natch, we'd love to steal the clothes right off her back, but since we're stuck on separate coasts, we went to Forever21.com instead and found these similar styles (we particularly heart the tiered spaghetti strap dress!).
The best part? All together, the dress, cardi AND heels come out to just under $80 (the priciest item, the three-quarter length sweater, is only $27.80). Which means you'll still have plenty of loot left over to splurge on LC's metallic green mani-pedi before showing off that toe cleavage! Just make sure your nails are 100% dry before you go patting yourself on the back...
Spencer and Heidi were all smiles when they popped by The Insider to talk about their new book yesterday -- little did they know they were actually walking into an on-air ambush! Watch as a vastly outnumbered Team Pratt goes up against a four-man firing squad (we counted at least 10 shots in the first two minutes!) and, somehow, walks out with their dignity, their composure and, most importantly, their beyootiful blond blowouts intact.
Justin Bobby's always been a man of few words -- and last week, he said nearly all the wrong ones when he blew off Audrina Patridge (and told her he still had feelings for her arch nemesis, Kristin Cavallari). Fortunately, 'Drina dusted herself off, slapped a smile on her face and stopped by the After Show (via satellite) last night to explain what really went down at that awkward dinner with JB.
So was it as uncomfortable as it looked on TV? Actually, it was even worse! According to Audrina, Justin rambled on and on about K-Cav for almost THREE HOURS, prompting her to storm off (and him to leave Kristin that sketchy voicemail on last night's Hills). Find out whether 'Drina wants another word with Justin (Spoiler: they'll have one final showdown!), plus hear her put in her two cents about L.A. Candy, Jayde Nicole and Speidi's unborn child.
Put two sworn enemies known for PDC (Public Displays of Clawing) together in a darkly lit room, add a few cocktails, then cue the conversation about their shared ex-boyfriend. Whaddya got? Some of the boldest, bitchiest insults and accusations ever slung in Hills history. And though we're always up for a good catfight, something in us couldn't help from wondering how Kristin Cavallari and Jayde Nicole's confrontation during last night's episode would have gone down if either of them had practiced some manners. Below, we've written up a hypothetical what-could-have-been if the girls had prepared for co-starring on The Hills by first attending Charm School, or say, met for tea and crumpets instead of Grey Goose and soda.
PART I What happened: To begin the discussion, Jayde got straight to the point and said to Kristin, "Obviously, you don't want to be here. I don't want to be here either, but I had to call you just to figure out what is going on."
What could have happened: Jayde preceded what was sure to be a tough discussion by offering up a pleasantry: "That's a pretty outfit, Kristin. I'm sorry we're meeting under such lousy circumstances, but I felt it was important to speak face to face." Read more...
We've seen a lotta heartbreak on The Hills over the years. And watching Brody give Kristin the heave-ho tonight got us thinking about what helped us through our real-life breakups. Since we can't messenger over a pre-worn Juicy sweatsuit (and a half-empty box of mint chocolate chip ice cream), we've decided to give K-Cav and the gang the next best thing: a breakup playlist! Check it out, and read on to find out the perfect sad/angry/emo song for all your romantic foibles!
Situation: Your best friend (and former roomie) just moved in with that guy you hate Your mood: Bitter and judgmental Your ideal song: Something know-it-ally and disapproving. Our pick: Joe Jackson's "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" followed by Justin Timberlake's ultimate karma-is-a-bitch song, "What Goes Around Comes Around" and Beyonce's TTYN ballad, "To The Left." Recommended dosage: Constant repeat. What, it's not like there's anyone around to hear it? (SNIFF!)
Situation: Your ex is STILL a commitment-phobic jerkwad. Your mood: Furious ... but kinda turned on? Your ideal song: Something loud that plays into your anger issues, like Jazmine Sullivan's "Bust Your Windows" or The Ting Tings' "Shut Up And Let Me Go." After about a week or so, you can fall back into your old ways with Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" and Sheryl Crow's "My Favorite Mistake." Recommended dosage: Once an hour, or until you stop mistaking every greasy-haired motorcycle guy for your ex.
Situation: Your ex is already dating someone else Your mood: Psychotically jealous Your ideal song: Something scary intense and extremely self-righteous. Hands down, we gotta go with Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know," but feel free to sulk/plot your revenge with Kanye West's "Heartless," Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend" and Paramore's "Misery Business" Recommended dosage: Twice daily. Works best if you listen first thing in the morning and right before you go to bed. (Warning: Discontinue usage IMMEDIATELY if you start having not-so-family-friendly thoughts about Joey from Full House).
We've always had a thing for guys with mustaches. The way we see it, a little facial fuzz adds a degree of rugged masculinity, and bumps everyone ('cept Yosemite Sam and Burt Reynolds) up a notch or two on the attractiveness scale. On the other hand, we're not sure we're ready to stop staring at Brody Jenner, admiring his boyish good looks and pretending he's our high school boyfriend (not so easy to do now that dude's gone out and grown himself some chin hair)!
And since we're having trouble deciding between beard or no-beard, we thought we'd put it up to a poll and let you guys decide. Do you like the Brodester better as a baby-faced man child? Or as an outdoorsy hottie who may or may not reek of Old Spice? Take a look at these before-and-after pix then tell us whether you think Brody's sexy n' scruffy -- or a total beardo!
If you've been watching The Hills lately, you know that Spencer and Heidi Pratt are at odds about whether to have kids. (Spencer entertained the idea of getting a vasectomy on last week's episode, and Heidi's about to fight back with a night of contraception-less seduction.)
We truly hate to take sides since they're both equally (and awesomely) outrageous, but we can't help but wonder: what's the rush, Heids? The jet-setting, uber-famous couple just tied the knot -- and it's not like babies are always bundles of joy. Case and point: Alexa Chung attempted to drop a drooly little fella right onto the their laps during today's live show ... but Heidi didn't have her Tide stick on hand. Check out the full interview with MTV's very own Lucy and Desi.
You might remember Stephanie Pratt's niece (a.k.a. the adorable Ava) as the frilly-dressed flower girl from Speidi's wedding. So what's the World's Cutest Kid been up to ever since? Easy: bonding with her favorite auntie (and built-in babysitter!) Steph! Over the weekend, the Hillzie treated her pint-sized charge to a fun-filled afternoon of ice cream, movies and, yes, a stroll down the red carpet at the Planet 51 premiere! Hmm, anyone else think pretty, pretty princess tiaras are totally making a comeback this year?
+ Bonus: In addition to eying her niece's accessories, Steph also sneaked a peek at Rebecca Minkoff's Spring 2010 handbag/ready-to-wear lines. Check out these pics of Steph scoping out the merch (and posing with the designer!), after the jump.
