The former MTV reality star is preparing to walk down the aisle with her boyfriend of nearly 2 years. Lauren Conrad is over the hills in love!

The reality star turned fashionista and author is engaged to boyfriend William Tell, she confirmed on her blog site.

"I am very excited to share with you guys that William and I got engaged over the weekend," Conrad, 27, wrote.

"I am beyond thrilled! Get ready for lots more wedding content here on LaurenConrad.com as we begin the planning process."

Conrad and Tell, a USC law student, dated for nearly two years before getting engaged, E! News reported.

"William and I are overwhelmed by all of your warm wishes," she wrote. "Thank you so much for sharing in this special moment"

The "Hills" standout became a household name after turning her 15 minutes of MTV fame into a lengthy fashion career - spawning a line of clothing, jewelry and shoes for Kohl's department stores.
Conrad has also authored several books, including New York Times bestseller "L.A. Candy."

Snoop Dogg, Kate Upton Join Together For Trippy Hot Pockets Music



At the beginning of the video, Upton returns home to her apartment, telling a pal that an unnamed guy is "just a friend," but as she sits down to watch Larry King Live (where Snoop is extolling the deliciousness of Hot Pockets), she suddenly starts to hallucinate about joining the veteran rapper in song and shuffle-dance.

"Now let me give you an introduction/ to the master baker of this production," a red track suit-clad Snoop raps as he leads Upton on a stroll through a series of oversized baking paraphernalia, proclaiming that he can "bake anywhere."

The video features the pair traipsing amongst the clouds as cartoon sheep leap over their heads, sitting side-by-side in a futuristic rocket ship, and even jamming out on a piano together.

"You…got what I eat," Upton lip-syncs the chorus. "Now you say you're just a baker, but you're my Hot Pocket baker/ Oh baby you…got what I eat/ You got that hot buttery crust/ I need your hot buttery crust."

In addition to the superstar duo, Youtube star Kev Jumba also makes an appearance in the video alongside Oliver Cooper as the "butcher." A Larry King lookalike also makes a cameo, as well all rapper Bow Wow.

Smiling Naya Rivera Flashes Huge Engagement Ring

Rivera's ring looked to be close to 4 carats, the diamond a princess cut and in a platinum setting. He estimated that such a ring retails for around $70,00

The big engagement news happened to break on the same night that Rivera's Glee character, Santana, shared a kiss with Demi Lovato's Dani.

"I'm Gleekin' heavy," Big Sean, who was scheduled to perform in Montreal tonight, admits in the latest issue of GQ. "How could you not, man, if that was your girlfriend, you'd probably be Gleekin' too!"

Miss Philippines Megan Young, crowned Miss World

Miss Philippines, Megan Young, was crowned the winner of Saturday night's 2013 Miss World pageant at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Centre in Indonesia.

"I promise to be the best Miss World ever," the 23-year-old said as she was crowned by last year's winner, Wenxia Yu.

Young, who was born in the United States, beat out 126 other women vying for the crown in the 63rd annual pageant. The brunette beauty moved to the Philippines when she was 10 years old and has been living there since, working as an actress and television host.

Miss France, Marine Lorphelin, 20, placed second and 22-year-old Miss Ghana, Carranzar Naa Okailey Shooter, came in third.

The 2013 Miss World pageant was initially slated to be held in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, but was moved to the resort island of Bali amid security concerns.

Police said there were no demonstrations or protests during the pageant, where security was heightened in fear of an attack.

Leading up the pageant, the Islamic Defenders' Front staged protests over the revealing (in their opinion) clothing worn during Miss World pageants. Islamic protesters denounced the pageant, calling it insulting to have women wearing bikinis and form-fitting evening attire in Indonesia, the most populous mostly Muslim nation in the world.

The Jakarta Post said groups were calling for the government to completely shut down the competition, but instead, moved it to Bali three weeks ago.

Kate Upton poses wearing no makeup

Kate Upton has graced the covers of Vogue, Cosmopolitan and Vanity Fair, but the buxom supermodel proved she's far from perfect when she returned from the gym in Paris, France, on Tuesday, Oct. 1. Wearing no makeup, the 21-year-old Michigan native was all smiles post-workout.

Despite a few blemishes, there's no denying that Kate is a stunning woman. After all, the recently crowned Model of the Year just nabbed her third Sports Illustrated cover in two years!
The blond beauty has been making the rounds in the City of Light, sitting front row at Chanel and strutting her stuff in the Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week.

The secret to Kate's success is a positive attitude, according to her mom Shelly, a former Texas state tennis champion. "She really is just so enthusiastic about everything. And when she's excited about something, she gives it her best," the model's mom told Allure Sept. 9. "I just am so proud about how she has handled all the pressure that goes along with all the successes that are amazing as well. She seems to take it in stride and doesn't seem to be inhibited at all."

Shelly is especially proud of Kate's refusal to lose weight in a size-obsessed industry. "She really has been such a vibrant person—she leads a well-balanced life, and she wants to eat healthy. We've always eaten healthy as a family growing up," she shared. "And she's definitely always known what she wanted."

Rihanna Debuts "Pour It Up" Music Video, Wears Dollar Bills and Twerks

If there's anyone who can make Miley Cyrus' twerking and teddy bear leotard look tame, it would have to be Rihanna. The "Diamonds" singer debuted her new music video for sultry hit "Pour It Up" on Wednesday, Oct. 2, and she didn't hold back when it came to turning up the shock factor.

In the green smoke-filled video, Rihanna, 25, perches haughtily on a golden throne in a diamond bikini top that just barely covers her nipples, coupled with tiny red bikini bottoms covered in dollar bills and elbow-length black leather gloves.

The songstress tops off the look with dollar bill-print platform heels, dark shades and a blonde wig of tight curls.

Though the video features several different women sliding up and down poles amid a hail of dollar bills, it's Rihanna's turn as a stripper, twerking up against the throne, the pole, and the ground, that ultimately gives the video its over-the-edge appeal.

Though Rihanna's legion of fans are already showering their praise for the sexy singer, the video itself -- which Rihanna co-directed -- is reportedly already in the process of getting banned for its raunchy content.

"I bet you never seen bitches twerk on water," she tweeted on Wednesday.

Watch the scandalous video below of "Pour It Up."


Britney Spears’s ‘Work Bitch’ Music Video Is Flawless, Classic Britney

Britney Spears invited us all on a journey back in time late Tuesday night, when she debuted the music video for her club-banger of a new track, “Work Bitch.” The video is classic Britney. In a sex-dripping, fierce fashion we haven’t seen from her in years, she, quite simply, gets to work. Bitch.


It’s a vintage Britney video, in every absurd and amazing meaning of that label. It’s utterly nonsensical, yet tantalizing.

She’s gyrating against a white wall, flanked by female backup dancers dressed in leather. She’s gazing at herself sultrily at a vanity in the middle of a barren desert. Now the leather-clad backup dancers join her on a white platform for some floor choreography in the middle of said barren desert.

Such a sexy barren desert.


Britney then throws down some spritely choreography in what looks like an underground club. Then there’s some sensuous choreography in what looks like a different underground club. Then she wields a riding crop and whips some backup dancer who is ball-gagged and on a leash for some kinky choreography in what looks like yet another different underground club.

There are mannequins that are blown up. There is Britney Spears in a neon-pink ball gown on a lily pad cooing for the camera. This video, you see, is a lot. And we want it all.

Miley Cyrus Laughs Off Pregnancy Rumours

Miley Cyrus reportedly blurted out that she was pregnant with Juicy J's baby while on stage at the BET Hip Hop Awards.

According to CreamBMP.com the Wrecking Ball singer made the pregnancy announcement during her performance alongside the rapper on September 29.

Miley joked about the news on her Twitter page this evening, tweeting: "waking up to the news that I'm now pregnant with @therealjuicyj baby"

It seems that the 20-year-old isn't taking the reports too seriously. She added: "Me:did you know I'm pregnant with @therealjuicyj baby this morning' @CheyneThomas : 'what are you gonna name it?' Me: 'Juicy J Jr DUH' (sic)"

Miss Teen USA Cassidy Wolf 's "Mixed Emotions"

Cassidy Wolf has "mixed feelings" about the arrest of former classmate Jared James Abrahams, who confessed to federal investigators on Thursday to blackmailing and extorting the reigning Miss Teen USA. Wolf appeared on NBC's Today on Friday, Sept. 27, where she opened up about how it felt to have someone break into her computer, remotely turn on her webcam and watch her most intimate moments.

"My computer light never came on, so I wasn't aware. This person had been taking pictures of me in my room, changing clothes from putting on outfits, walking back and forth from the shower," Wolf recalled. "I received an anonymous email from an anonymous person [who] basically was extorting me and blackmailing me. I saw that he had attached nude photos of me that he had taken in my bedroom."
Wolf alerted the authorities, who subsequently launched an investigation. 

Abrahams—a 19-year-old college student studying computer science—was formally charged on Thursday, Sept. 26. Investigators found evidence of hacking software as well of images and videos of the victim. He is out on $50,000 bail and has been placed on house arrest; he can only leave to attend church, school, doctor's appointments and meetings with his lawyer.

"This happened to me when I was a normal girl in high school and it can happen to anybody," said Wolf.

Teyana Taylor and Rihanna Beef on Twitter

Two weeks ago, the G.O.O.D. Music rapper/singer posted an Instagram vid of her singing Anita Baker's "Caught in the Rapture." Earlier this morning, Rihanna posted to the same social media site a clip of her hairstylist Yusef singing the same segment of the song while wearing a long wig and a snapback — a style that's become a signature of sorts for Taylor.

TT allowed no time for that to marinate. She responded via Twitter with, "Don't play wit me @rihanna f--k all this industry s--t, YOU & I know each other VERY well. Throwing subs 4 wat? u got my #, don't show off."

Rih's super fans, who call themselves the "Navy," also got in on the war of words, to which Taylor responded, "y'all could bully everybody else & get away wit that s--t but that s--t ain't gone work ova here. so y'all could miss me with that NAVY s--t."

In the begining of the spat, Rihanna's timeline was mostly out of the direct light: "Screaming in an empty room! #dontfeedtheanimals." Rih refused to directly mention Taylor until she posted a picture comparing her net worth ($90 million) to the Harlem-born singer's income ($500,000).

Taylor hit back at the slight with her own brand of venomous humor.
"90 million dollars & 90 million n----s diving in that b---h box," Taylor tweeted after changing the photo on her Twitter page to feature a photoshopped image of her punching Rihanna in a boxing match. It's no accident that Taylor used the infamous photograph of Rihanna following her 2009 assault at the hands of Chris Brown

Tina Fey Wardrobe Nip Slip Emmys 2013 - Wardrobe Malfunction [VIDEO]



The “30 Rock” creator took the stage with fellow writer Tracey Wigfield to accept the award for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series when her breast fell out of place. Fey, 43, was accepting the microphone from Wigfield when her cobalt blue Narcisco Rodriguez halter gown popped in the flight, ever so slightly, and barely exposed part of her bosom. It seems double-stick tape might not always work.

Once Fey took the microphone, she quipped that no one allowed for Wigfield to speak, and then she praised the writer for encouraging her to work harder.

Earlier in the ceremony, Fey and Amy Poehler sat in the front row and heckled host Neil Patrick Harris as they ate popcorn with 3-D glasses on. The two hassled the “How I Met Your Mother” star, with Poehler screaming, “Take your pants off!” Then Fey added, "And twerk it. I come to award shows for the twerking."

When Harris questioned why the pair was wearing 3-D glasses she responded, “So I can see your business up close," Fey quipped. "Yo NPH, take those pants off," Poehler then joined in. "America wants to see what you're working with!"

But NPH wasn’t willing to oblige the funny ladies. "No, I'm not going to do that. That would be degrading," he said.

But the two made the audience laugh once more when they fell on the stairs to the stage later in the show.

Check out video below to see Fey’s seemingly accidental nip slip above:

Ali scores first kiss from the Bachelor with 'signature move'

 IT TOOK a "signature move" to land the first kiss on The Bachelor, but 27-year-old Ali nailed it in one.

The real estate agent, who has made no secret of her intense desire to bag the eligible chiropractor, last night successfully turned their kickboxing session into a kissing one.

But was the pash a smooth spontaneous move or was it a calculated ambush?

Either way, Ali got the jump on the rest of the bachelorettes and became the envy of the dating contest.
During their first one-on-one date, Tim asked Ali to give him a dancing lesson to tone down the "aggression of the boxing".

Apple Releases iOS 7-Ready iTunes 11.1

Apple has just released iTunes 11.1, the update to iTunes that brings iTunes Radio to its desktop music software. The Pandora-like streaming music service offers custom stations based on artists and genres, with ad-free streaming for those with iTunes Match subscriptions, or on an ad-supported basis completely free, with track skipping included.

The other big thing this update brings relevant to today is iOS 7 device support, which is necessary for those looking to update and sync their devices via the desktop when that new mobile OS goes live, likely in a couple of hours. If you still sync with your desktop regularly (I’ve stopped long ago thanks to iCloud), then you need to get downloading now to keep things running smoothly post-update.

Also new are the handy Podcast Stations, which allows you to make custom stations with the podcasts you follow regularly, which automatically update new episodes and sync playback position for each episode across devices. That’s a nice feature to have if you’re a commuter who regularly gets their podcast fix on the way to and from work, for instance.

One more new feature is Genius Shuffle, which you can use to play what iTunes determines are complimentary songs from your collection. I still miss iTunes DJ, but this is a feature that should help in similar situations, like when you’re soundtracking a party.

If you’ve been eager to try iTunes Radio, which really is a capable competitor to the best streaming radio services out there already, then this is your first chance, since it comes before iOS 7 hits. Also remember that iTunes Radio is for U.S. iTunes account holders only for now, with no word on when international users will gain access just yet

Christina Milian shows off nipple in bra-less tops


The singer could not be missed thanks to her extremely tight top and lack of support as she turned up to training in Los Angeles, California.

Even though many in her position may have felt a bit exposed, the songstress seemed unperturbed.
The star coupled her tank - which also showed off some of her toned midriff - with a pair of barley-there distressed denim cut-off shorts.

Christina Milian certainly knows how to ensure she is the centre of attention.

With more celebrities than you can poke a stick at arriving at Dancing With The Stars, the 31-year-old still had all eyes on her on Sunday.


Christiana's position on going bra-less did not change hover, but she did slip into a far more sensible grey playsuit and plain white Nike trainers.
The mother of one looked relaxed despite it being her final full day practice ahead of the eagerly anticipated curtain-raiser on Monday.


IOS 7 is here: A whole new iPhone experience

The new iOS 7 iPhone software not only has a new look, but Apple successfully addresses many long-standing issues.

Your iPhone is about to get a giant makeover: Apple is pushing out iOS 7 to iPhone users on Wednesday.

The new iPhone operating system is the most substantial update in the software's history. Apple not only added new features and functionality, but the company radically reinvented the six-year old operating system's appearance.

For the most part, Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) succeeded in making iOS easier on the eyes and simpler to use. Apple trimmed the fat where necessary and added some meat to areas that were lacking.
New look: The most noticeable difference in iOS 7 is the design. Gone are the core apps that look like real-life objects. In their place is a far more modern, streamlined, flatter digital aesthetic.
Apple didn't eliminate depth and texture altogether, but it redefined how it uses those effects. For instance, Apple made some menus and features appear translucent, like a frosted sheet of glass. That not only provides a stylish touch, but it produces a layered effect to help visualize how different parts of an app are linked, and how they are separate.

You'll notice this everywhere from the home screen icons to the design of the lock screen to the screen that shows up when you receive a call. But the way you use those elements is more or less the same as before.

And there are still touches of the old version of iOS throughout the new iOS 7. For example, the Messages app still uses speech bubbles, and the camera app still uses an on-screen shutter button. But the look of those features has been spruced up as well.
There was a time when Apple had to demonstrate how its flat, glass screen could replace many self-contained gadgets people already owned. So everything had a glassy, textured layer applied to it. The calendar had to look like a paper calendar. The compass had to look like something you'd see in a 16th-century Spanish galleon.

Now that the vast majority of us understand our smartphones, Apple has been able to ditch those visual analogs and become truer to its sleek, modern hardware.

New features: Perhaps the most useful addition to iOS 7 is Control Center. It's your metaphorical junk drawer full of settings, media playback controls, and shortcuts to utility apps, like the clock, camera and calculator. You can now also toggle the LED on and off from control center, functioning as a de facto flashlight. And it's easily accessible: just swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
Control Center isn't a revelation: Having quick access to Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is something that's long been on Android. But it's a welcome addition -- and frankly should have already been added to iOS a long time ago.

Siri's functionality has been expanded some. It can now be used to search for Wikipedia and Twitter. That's nice, but it's still no Google (GOOG, Fortune 500) Now, which can tell you to leave home earlier than usual because there's an accident on the freeway.
The new weather app in iOS 7 is more informative than ever, and the App Store can automatically update your apps.

The Photo app has mostly been changed for the better by automatically arranging your photos according to time and place. But the new shared photo streams addition felt incomplete. It allows multiple people to share and comment on photos -- think of it as a remixed version of group MMS. But with so many people already using Apple's iMessage to share photos, it's unclear why people are supposed to use the new feature.

The Notification Center in iOS 7 now has three separate sub-pages, making it feel more bloated and confusing than its previous iteration. For example, if you don't use a calendar, one of the sub-pages is just a completely empty screen.

Apple overhauled multitasking in iOS 7, giving apps the ability to fully run in the background. That means apps like Twitter and Facebook will be able to automatically update their feeds without you having to open the app. Apple even promises that iOS 7 will learn which apps you use the most, when you use them, and will make sure they're always updated at that time. But it will be hard to tell how well this feature will work until app makers begin to support it.

Airdrop is Apple's file sharing protocol, allowing iPhone users to share photos, contacts and things like passbook cards with one another. In theory, it is a wonderfully simple way to transfer files. But you can't use it with the Mac version of Airdrop. And the main appeal of Airdrop seems to be photos -- which is confusing since that's what shared photostreams are for. Until there is a critical mass of people running iOS 7, it's hard to gauge how useful Airdrop will be.

Despite a few hiccups in execution, Apple has successfully re-thought iOS for the better.
The biggest achievement of iOS 7 is Apple's willingness to acknowledge that it's immensely successful hardware had gone a bit stale. Apple had the awareness and courage to make some major changes without doing anything so drastic that it risked alienating its user base.

IOS 7 isn't perfect, but it's still as worthy a mobile OS as Google's Android. IOS 7 lays down the foundation for the next five or so years that will allow Apple to keep the iPhone feeling modern and progressive.

Naked magazine covers: Kate Upton

If you thought Kate Upton in a bathing suit was just too conservative, you'll probably want to pick up a copy of the #29 issue of Muse magazine. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue covergirl poses in her birthday suit for the Italian magazine's cover, photographed by Sebastian Faena.

Miley Cyrus' 'Wrecking Ball' music video, poses nude

Just when you thought Miley's antics couldn't get any worse ... The 20-year old singer's video for "Wrecking Ball" debuted on VEVO on Sept. 9, 2013, and the raunchy starlet made sure to leave nothing to the imagination as she hopped on a wrecking ball like a swing, ditching her clothing entirely while crooning the lyrics to her love ballad. "I came in like a wrecking ball/ I never hit so hard in love," she sings.

John Legend's fiancée Chrissy Teigen bares breasts in nude photo

The crooner took to Twitter to post the pic of himself lying naked beside his lady. 'Love your curve and all your edges,' he said.


John Legend is getting in on the action of music video nudity.
Legend, 34, gave a sneak peek of his video for "All of Me" off his fourth studio album, "Love in the Future," which he appears in the buff alongside his breast-baring fiancée Chrissy Teigen.

"Love your curve and all your edges," Legend wrote along with a black-and-white pic he retweeted from photo director Nabil. "Pic from the video shoot (slightly NSFW) @chrissyteigen @nabildo."
The image shows him lying in bed beside Teigen, who is propped up on one side with her breasts exposed. They both appear to be nude with a white sheet casually covering them.
