Kristin Cavallari Posts TBT of Ex, Stephen Colletti: "We Were Babies!"

STEEEE-PHENNNN



We hope Laguna Beach alum Kristin Cavallari never, ever stops sharing throwback photos of her high school days.


On February 19th, the mom-of-three and newly minted author posted an Instagram featuring ex-boyfriend Stephen Colletti.


“Flipping through #BalancingInHeels is a little trip down memory lane,” she wrote.  “We were babies! Link in bio #LagunaBeach #HighSchool #TBT.”


Cavallari talked about the MTV series that made her a reality star while promoting her new book, Balancing in Heels, which features not only self-hip tips for healthy living, but stories from her past that have helped her live a happier life.


“This is the first time I’ve ever been this raw and this real,” she told Momtastic.


Cavallari dated Colletti, who was a year ahead of her in high school.  Their tumultuous relationship, including a love triangle with Lauren Conrad, was captured for the cameras


“It’s funny because on Laguna Beach I came off like the person who really had my sh*t together but I was a mess–like most teenagers,” Cavallari admitted. 


“I was really unhappy. There’s a saying that you have to learn to love yourself before anyone else can love you, and it’s very true.”


The show, Cavallari revealed, “was really our lives being manipulated by being put in situations we never would have been in normally.”


Cavallari missed her ten-year high school reunion back in November due to the birth of her third child (and first girl), Saylor James.

Harper Lee Dies; To Kill a Mockingbird Author Was 89

Harper Lee – the author best known for the iconic 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird – has passed away at the age of 89.



A county coroner confirmed today that Lee passed away at an assisted living facility in Monroeville – the small Alabama town that she called home throughout most of her life.


In addition to winning the Pulitzer Prize and serving as the basis of a classic film, To Kill a Mockingbird has become a perennial favorite in both classrooms and bookstores.


Astonishingly, 56 years after its publication, the book still sells over one million copies every year.


The book’s themes of racial injustice and the importance of aiding the oppressed have helped it remain continuously relevant – and widely beloved – throughout several generations.


Lee was a lifelong friend of author Truman Capote (the character of Dill in Mockingbird is based on a young Capote) and she assisted him in researching his famous “non-fiction novel” In Cold Blood.


Despite spending much of her life avoiding the spotlight, Lee made headlines last year with the news that a sequel to Mockingbird entitled Go Set a Watchman would be released several decades after it was penned.


The controversial novel became an instant bestseller.


Lee never married or had children, but she was fiercely beloved by the people of Monroeville – the tiny town that helped inspire one of the great literary works of the 20th Century.


Miranda Kerr: PISSED That Orlando Bloom is Dating Katy Perry!

It’s been over two years since Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom got divorced, but the ridiculously good-looking ex-couple still has a kid together, which means they’re still very much involved in one another’s lives.


Miranda and Orlando have reportedly been able to co-parent amicably, and they’ve established a set of rules to ensure that their 5-year-old boy Flynn grows up in the most stable environment possible. Now, it seems that Orlando broke one of those rules with the help of Katy Perry.



Following rumors that they hooked up at the Golden Globes, we now know that Katy and Orlando are dating, and from the looks of things, they’re moving very fast.


In fact, they’re moving much too fact for Miranda’s taste.


Kerr explained in a recent interview that she and Bloom have strict guidelines with regard to introducing Flynn to the new significant others in their lives.


“We have to know the person for six months,” she explained.


So it’s understandable that Kerr was not happy to find out Perry has already met her son after just one month of dating Bloom.


According to Star magazine, Bloom recently brought Katy along when he and Flynn attended a birthday party for Robert Downey, Jr.’s son.


“Miranda went off on Orlando for being so inconsiderate,” a source tells the tabloid.


“Those photos of him and Katy playing happy family with Flynn broke her heart, but Orlando said she was being dramatic.


“Miranda’s always had this hold over Orlando, even after they split. She would never admit it, but she feels very threatened by Katy. Orlando has fallen head over heels.”


Of course, we really don’t blame him for falling for Katy. Say what you will about Orlando, the guy has impeccable taste in women.

Kate Middleton to William: Screw This Royal Life, Let"s Move Back to Wales!

Being a Duchess is for the birds, it appears.



The latest made-up tale about Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge highlights her “exhausted” and “fatigued” look on February 17th, when she and the Duke attended a ceremony ending Royal Air Force search-and-rescue operations near their old home in Anglesey, Wales.


“Duchess Kate had a very busy day and then had to travel to Wales immediately with no break whatsoever,” Celebrity Dirty Laundry wrote.


The Duchess of Cambridge didn’t even put much effort into her outfit for the day,” the site (inaccurately) pointed out.  “Princess Kate wore the red LK Bennett coat she has worn twice before.”


Catherine has actually worn LK Bennett’s “Ami” coat three times in the past – the first to a November 2011 UNICEF engagement in 2011.  Again a year later at a rugby game at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, and then to a Poppy Appeal event in November 2013.


William and Catherine lived in a rented farmhouse in Anglesey while William worked as a search-and-rescue pilot at RAF Valley.  When his time with the armed forces came to an end in September 2013, he and his family moved back to London.


During the reception after ceremony yesterday, Catherine told a fellow couple how much living there meant to her.


“It was such a special time for us,” Catherine said, according to the Daily Mail. “It was the start of our life together really.”  


That was the quote that set the tabloids ablaze with speculation that Catherine wanted William to “abandon” their royal obligations and raise their family in Wales.


In other stupid royal news, OK! is trying to convince everyone that Catherine is deffo pregnant because two cycles before yesterday, Catherine wore the same LK Bennett when she was pregnant with George.


That is bullet-proof evidence right there.
