OK, so obviously Kristin Cavallari won't be inviting ole "Laguna Beach" rival Lauren Conrad to her upcoming nuptials, but we admit that we were a bit taken aback to hear from E! Online that she WILL be inviting former "Hills" costar (and über-nemesis) Audrina Patridge, as well as (less über of a nemesis but still a nemesis) Stephanie Pratt. Wow, it's almost as if those catfights between them weren't real....
One thing that was never fake for K-Cav was her relationship with Stephen Colletti--they're actually still great friends! So is her fiancé cool with inviting her first love to the wedding? Yep, he gets a VIP pass, presumably with a plus one (it's not like Stephen never moved on to other blonde beauties!).
Now for the really gossipy part (cause you know y'all were wonderin'). Kristin will NOT--we repeat, will NOT--be inviting Brody Jenner, Justin Bobby and Heidi Montag to the big event. In fact, it sounds like you couldn't pay her a boatload of money per episode to even be friends with them again.
Too bad--we were kinda hoping for a "Does anyone object to this union?" type moment at the chapel. But then again, what's the point if she's not inviting reality TV camera crews? For the record, there won't be any of those either. "Jay hates all that stuff," she told Ryan Seacrest, who of course pitched her a wedding special this morning. (No, nothing is sacred anymore, if that's what you were asking yourself. And that's why you watch cable.)

Spencer Pratt is publicly asking for a takezies backzies. Apparently, being the most hated person on reality TV (and possibly all of Hollywood) isn't as fulfilling as he originally imagined, and the former "Hills" star has turned to Ryan Seacrest to transform his image.
After sending an email to the media guru's talent booker that requested a five-week internship under him, Pratt followed up with a phone call today to Seacrest's radio show, in which he explained that he's on a quest to become more likable (or at least less detested). "I've learned you need to be around likable people to even start to be likable," he flattered the host. "Who's the most likable person in America, if not the world? That would be Ryan Seacrest."
Now before you accuse Spence of just trying to drum up more publicity for himself, which is, of course, an accurate assumption, keep in mind that he also seems downright bored by his own existence. While his wife Heidi's off becoming best frenemies with desperate housewife Danielle Staub, he's stuck at the beach house tie-dying his beard and watching the "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!" DVD highlight reel. "[Heidi's] up every morning at like 4:30. She starts her day with jump-roping while I'm still asleep, and then she heads off to film this new series for VH1 and she doesn't get back until at least 10 p.m.," Pratt told Seacrest. "I'm twiddling my thumbs all day like, 'I need to get a job.'"
Here's an idea: Maybe he should talk to Lauren Conrad about how to get a book deal that focuses on the life of a famewhore.

Various rumors have been circulating since Season 2 of "The City" ended, and we're sorry to report that the scariest one appears to be true--the show has been canceled. Whitney Port broke the sad news to Ryan Seacrest this morning, offering up her usual bright side of things: "It's OK, one door closes and another opens." Later in the day, an MTV spokesperson confirmed that the show would not return for a third season, telling The Hollywood Reporter, "Whitney has been a part of our family for many years and we wish her and the cast the best, and hope to collaborate with them again."
So what's up next for the longtime reality TV sweetheart? Maybe she and boyfriend Ben Nemtin of MTV's "The Buried Life" should add some couples' challenges to the crew's infamous to-do list? We totally dare them to streak Olivia Palermo's next fancy soiree!

Ryan Seacrest had a very interesting chat with JWOWW this morning. Not only did he dig for dirt (and get some!) on her new beau, Roger, but he also asked whether or not Jenni took the money Playboy recently offered her (400k!) to pose nude within its pages. Final answer: X.
We were pretty surprised to hear that the sexy "Jersey Shore" star turned down an opportunity to flaunt her bod in the iconic mag, especially since she told Ryan she's been working out like a fiend lately. In addition to gaining a lot of lean muscle, JWOWW says she's lost a total of 12 pounds!
Among other juicy tidbits revealed in the radio interview are that she and Snooki plan to move in together (can you say, "24/7 slumber party"?) and that tomorrow night's "Jersey Shore" finale has a massive roommate blowout in store for fans. (Hint from those who've seen it: even the best friends in the house put each other on blast!)
Anyhoo, have a listen to her full convo with Ryan here.

In the middle of a busy double book tour, author and fashionista Lauren Conrad recently took an important time-out to express her concern for a tragic dilemma facing thousands of Americans: "Fashion F**k-Ups." FFUs, of course, surround us all and can be easily identified by their dwarfed kitten heels and crystallized Ed Hardy T-shirts.
Lauren filmed the PSA for Ryan Seacrest's radio show, and while it's a parody of sorts, she urges that we all take this issue seriously. "How many times have you gone to meet a friend, and found yourself feeling the firsthand effects of their secondhand clothes?" That just hits home, doesn't it?
If you're gonna take advice from anyone, then it should be from the girl that just rewrote the book on style. True friends don't let friends dress poorly.

Recently, Lauren Conrad revealed to Ryan Seacrest that she'd had enough of living the simple undocumented life and was headed back to her MTV family to film another Reality TV series. MTV confirmed the news right away, but details still remained slim ... until now! Lauren opened up in the latest issue of Us Weekly to give us all a tastier nibble of what to expect.
LC's as of yet unnamed show will deliver an inside look at what it takes for a famous young woman to build her own company from the ground up. Cameras will follow the former "Hills" and "Laguna Beach" star as she grows her fashion label, Paper Crown, with help from two of her oldest friends, Maura McManus (also her roommate) and Gary Samuelian (yes, the same sweet guy from MTV's "Styl'D"!) "These two I knew when I was wearing a training bra!" Lauren told Us. (Sorry guys, no Lo Bosworth this time around -- she's super busy with TheLoDown.com and her writing her own book.)
As to the unapologetically nosy question that seems to keep rearing its head--"Will beau Kyle Howard be on camera?"--LC doesn't rule it out. "It's hard to say yet if he'll be on the show. Certain aspects of my relationship I want to keep to myself, but it's not like I'm going to stop myself from talking about him."
So what sets this new show apart from her previous Reality TV gigs? Well, according to Lauren, this one's going to feel more real. Her fame will not be hidden a la "The Hills." "Then, PAs would hold back paparazzi so their shadows wouldn't get in the way. Now if a mic gets in the shot, it's not a big deal."
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, folks! Buckle up, cuz it sounds like LC is ready to reveal her entire world, which happens to appear more fabulous than ever.

When she walked off into the sunset a stretch limo on Episode 510 of "The Hills," we truly thought that was the last we'd see of Lauren Conrad on reality TV. She practically grew up with cameras in her face, and she'd been publicly yearning for an "ordinary" life long before her filmed exit.
Well, guess all LC really needed was a time-out, cuz the "Laguna Beach" native confirmed today in an interview with Ryan Seacrest and MTV News that she'll soon be back on the network that gave birth to her past two shows! Lauren's new reality series will focus on her professional life as a fashion designer trying to build her company from the ground up. More official info from MTV to come next week...
Welcome back, LC! Let's face it: You just weren't meant to be "ordinary."
+ How do you feel about Lauren's MTV comeback? Sound off in the comments, plus check out this video package of her most memorable moments on "The Hills"!

As members of the media, we have a soft spot for reporters that can't get info out of their interview subjects. But if there's anyone who knows how to break 'em down it's the ultra-nosy yet extremely talented Ryan Seacrest. Earlier this week, he invited Brody Jenner into his radio show studio to find out if he and Avril Lavigne were headed for the aisle, plus three-way called Stephanie Pratt and Kristin Cavallari to try to get the truth about Speidigate and various other "Hills" rumors.
Check out the video below and watch as the seasoned host interrogator uses every method imaginable to encourage the Hillzies to dish about the season finale. While almost everyone kept mum, we did learn something pretty interesting about Kristin's love life ...

If you didn't hear 'The Situation' and Pauly D on Ryan Seacrest's radio show this morning, then you missed a tried-and-true tradition: The Nicknaming of the Host (also served up later in the day at The View). The Jersey Shore boys crowned Sir 'Crest with a spankin' new moniker: The Pulsation, because, as Pauly explained it: "You always have your finger on the pulse." Ry Ry loved it!
Following the naming ceremony, The Pulsation decided to get Kim Kardashian on the line, because (he knew?) it would make the always-chatty Shore boys tongue-tied. And that they were. Ryan asked the guys to give Kim a nickname and, well, radio silence. Uhh, umm, err.
Suddenly gone stiff, the guys ended the interview with a homework assignment from Ryan: "You think of it, and then Tweet it out to us." Until then, we'll be monitoring Mike and Pauly's Twitter to find out when they turn in their report!
+ What do you guys think about Ryan's new Jersey Shore name? Let us know!
Update: Looks like the boys did their homework! They named Kim The Infatuation. What do you think?

For years, the Buried Lifers have been spreading the word about their list one day at a time. And today, word got out in a big way when Duncan, Dave, Jonnie and Ben stopped by On Air with Ryan Seacrest to chat about their mission. Of course, Ryan being the hard-nosed intrepid reporter, he was able to score us a little more insight from Ben on his new maybe-relationship with The City's Whitney Port. (Unfortunately, Whitney wasn't around to comment on this latest nugget of gossip).
For the record, Ben says he sees Whit when he's in New York, but isn't labeling it anything serious as of yet. Listen to the full interview here to get the latest TBL news from your favorite travellin' men, plus stay tuned til the end to hear what the other three guys' current relationship statuses are.
