Lauren On Her Career: "It's Bittersweet"

[FemaleFirst.co.uk] - Nicky Hilton, The Pussycat Dolls and Lauren Conrad are set to be the stars of LA Fashion Week causing anger among the real designers.

"Sure, every celebrity and his brother wants to be a fashion designer," said veteran designer Sue Wong to Canadian Press.

"It's not like anybody can pick it up and do it. It's a science. You need to know fit and construction," adds Wong who has been working in the industry since 1968 but won't be showing her Fall 2008 collection at LA Fashion Week this year.

Wong is joined by Kevan Hall and Ed Hardy who will also be absent from Culver City's Smashbox photo studios next week.

The Hills star Lauren Conrad disagrees with Wong's opinion on celebrities cashing in on their fame by trying their hand at designing.

"I think my involvement in reality television has played a bittersweet role in my career," Conrad said to The Associated Press. "If I wasn't on TV I wouldn't have my line, but because I'm on TV people don't take me seriously."

"People in the entertainment industry try to capitalize on their 15 minutes in every way possible," she continued. "The difference is I want a line that lasts longer than 15 minutes. It's what I've always wanted to do and what I hope to continue with when I'm done with entertainment," she adds.

What do you think? Should celebrities be taken seriously as designers? Or are they just cashing in on their fame?

Kristin Makes Lauren Jealous

The night before the New York Giants upset the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, Arizona was jam-packed with booze and babes.One of whom seemed rather intent on getting back into celebrity news headlines and, perhaps, making her former high school rival jealous!

During the Maxim party at the Stone Rose Lounge, Kristin Cavallari flirted with Entourage star Kevin Connolly, and was “all over Kevin until she saw Brody Jenner walk in,” says a spy from the New York Post.

“Kristin Cavallari dropped Kevin for Brody Jenner and started kissing him … that is, before she went to find photographers to take pictures of them. It was all a ploy to make [her Laguna Beach nemesis] Lauren Conrad jealous.”

Then after they broke up, he and Lauren Conrad were an item, as depicted on The Hills.But forget Lauren Conrad here. What about Cora Skinner, Brody’s reported new girlfriend? What’s she gonna think? First Linsday Lohan and now this?She’ll get the crazy idea that Brody’s some kind of player.

Kristin Talks Valentine's Day

[E! Online] - Valentine’s Day is almost here, but don’t even think of giving a box of chocolates or a dozen roses to Kristin Cavallari.

The reality-show starlet is only 21 years old, but she says she’s not looking to celebrate the love and romance holiday this year. “I’m boycotting it,” Cavallari said at the Victoria’s Secret pre-Super Bowl "What Is Sexy?" party on Saturday. “I’m going to be in Vegas with my girls, so no valentine!”

Cavallari has had her share of love woes, so much so that she says she may try to put together a book about dating. The tome, she said, will be about “how to get over breakups.”

Even so, Cavallari spent some time at the party chatting with her ex-beau Brody Jenner. And that’s not all. She also hung out with her maybe onetime flame, Arizona Cardinals quarterback and former USC champ Matt Leinart.
