Kristin Cavallari Plays Matchmaker For Jenny McCarthy

Kristin Cavallari has reportedly played matchmaker by setting up her pal Jenny McCarthy.
The funny girl was seen out on a date with Chicago Bears star Brian Urlacher recently.
And it is reported that Kristin and her NFL player fiancé Jay Cutler, who are expecting their first child, may have set the pair up.
"Jay and Brian are like brothers, and now that Jay is settling down, he wants Brian to find a great girl and settle down too," a source told the National Enquirer.
"Jay and Kristin were conspiring on who they could set Brian up with, and then Kristin reconnected with Jenny at a party and thought she'd be a great match."
Jenny has a nine-year-old son with her ex-husband John Asher, while two of Brian's three children from previous relationships live with him.
"Brian's children are his life, and Jay wanted to find a girl for him who's a dedicated parent," the source added. "Only time will tell if things get serious between him and Jenny, but they certainly are into each other now."

Lauren Conrad's 'Fame Game' Book Signing at BookPeople in Austin, Texas

Lauren Conrad signed copies of her new book, “The Fame Game,” at BookPeople on Thursday night, April 19. Miss Conrad sat down with The Daily Texan to discuss the book, a spin-off from her first trilogy, “L.A. Candy.”
The Daily Texan: I feel like you’re definitely perceived as one of Hollywood’s good girls, and in your new book, “The Fame Game,” you switch gears from the first trilogy and write from the bad girl’s point of view. What was that like?
Lauren Conrad: It was really fun actually. I think it’s like playing dress-up, you get to kind of be someone else for a little bit and you get to sort of imagine what it’s like to see things from an absolutely different perspective.
DT: What lessons did you learn from the first trilogy, “L.A. Candy,” “Sugar and Spice” and “Sweet Little Lies,” that you used with writing the next trilogy for “The Fame Game”?
Conrad: The entire “L.A. Candy” series was a learning experience for me, everything from just going through the whole writing process to sticking to a schedule to book touring. Just learning the whole deal was new for me, so I sort of feel like I know what to expect with the new books.

DT: Did you have to set certain deadlines for chapters to get it all done?
Conrad: Going into this, I had no idea how to do it, so the first book was definitely a struggle to schedule because I think a lot of times it wasn’t as much of a priority. It would be like I would have to write in my spare time, but now we learned that I have to schedule whole days dedicated to writing.
DT: Where do you get most of your writing done?
Conrad: (laughs) In bed.
DT: Like as you’re drinking coffee?
Conrad: No, usually just at night with a glass of wine. Oh, I’m worthless in the mornings.
DT: It seems like you’re always working on something new, but where do you find the motivation to work on so many things at one time?
Conrad: I think it’s so exciting to start something new and I’ve been lucky to work on so many things that I enjoy.

DT: You’ve gone from being an intern to creating your own brands. What lessons did you learn as an intern that you carried with you to the top?
Conrad: I’ve had so many internships, gosh, I’ve worked in a showroom, at a magazine, in a PR office, but I think that you just learn so much about your industry. While the tasks I was doing as an intern weren’t necessarily important, I was being exposed to every aspect of the industry. I think I’m also much kinder to interns now.
DT: So your beauty blog, The Beauty Department, turned a year old today. Congratulations! How did that project start?
Conrad: I’ve been working with my hairstylist and makeup artist for probably five years now, and we’ve talked about starting it for a while. Both of them are so good at what they do and they just love beauty, so I think when you really love something you just want to share all of the things you’re learning. We wanted to create a community to discuss trends we love but also to teach people how to get looks.
DT: Do you have any upcoming projects that you’re working on?
Conrad: Right now I’m really focused on the second book of “The Fame Game.”

Whitney Port Visits Philadelphia

It's been several years since MTV's "The Hills" and "The City" went off air, but Whitney Port continues to prove that her interests in fashion and clothing design are not exclusive to her reality-TV show days. On Thursday, the 27-year-old star, designer and author attended a garden tea party at Apricot Lane Boutique in Suburban Square in Ardmore. This was Port's very first visit to Philadelphia, as she was in town to promote the launch of her new, budget-friendly fashion line, WE by Whitney Eve, which combines signature styles from her original Whitney Eve collection with a more modern appeal. Port was dressed in a printed shirt paired beneath a relaxed, off-white blazer from her WE Collection, black skinny jeans and studded Giuseppe Zanotti heels. This is what the scene looked like at Apricot Lane: Ms. Port was greeted by a line of girls- some on the verge of fandemonium breakdowns- as each patiently waited her turn to meet her. Always the sweetheart, the designer interacted with all of the attendees, taking pictures and providing a style consultation for the local winner of the store's facebook contest. (An added bonus for guests was that the cupcake truck was parked right outside of the boutique.) "Whitney was so wonderful to all of our guests and made this event extra special just with her personality and style advice alone, said Ashley Seiden, co-owner of Apricot Lane.
