Lauren Conrad Gets Girly in Paper Crown to Talk MTV and Hating the Gym For Lucky

Lauren Turner — Tue, 31 May 2011 14:12:00 PDT

Lauren Conrad lit up the cover of Lucky's July issue in leather shorts and a blazer. She posed for the magazine in looks from her Paper Crown collection, which will hit stores this Fall. LC's juggling her latest design work with her line for Kohl's, her new website called The Beauty Department, and even a book club. She's also still filming her reality TV show even though MTV passed on the project earlier this year. LC opened up about her relationship with the network, her motivation to be on The Hills, and also shared her Summer essentials - here's more of what Lauren Conrad said in Lucky:

On hating the gym: "I'm just not a fan of the gym. In fact, I hate it. I understand loving the feeling you get after working out all those endorphins. But going there? It's the worst."
On why she did The Hills: "I never wanted to end up in entertainment; that wasn't the goal. I was doing the show to end up in fashion. But I'm totally aware that without The Hills, I wouldn't be where I am."
On MTV not picking up her show: "It didn't feel like a perfect fit. It's difficult to compete with all the Jersey Shore type shows out there. Besides, there weren't any scenes of me getting drunk or fighting, so what's the point?"

The Secret to Spending Less

Kiplinger — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 12:32:25 PDT

We're thrilled to present this smart Kiplinger story here on Savvy!

Economists view the Commerce Department's report today that consumer spending rose in July as encouraging - considering consumer spending accounts for about 70% of the nation's economic activity. You might say it's a good thing Americans aren't pinching their pennies quite so much.

Some of that spending came at the expense of saving, though. The personal savings rate as a percentage of income fell to 5% in July from 5.5% in June. Considering many Americans' savings have taken a hit from stock market gyrations or have been drained to help them get through a job loss, it's worth looking at your spending to see whether you need to cut back to boost your savings.

I've found that one of the best ways to reduce spending is to avoid temptation. The fact that I live in a small town probably makes this a little easier for me than for big-city dwellers, who can't walk down the street without passing a multitude of stores, restaurants and entertainment options. (Plus, smaller cities tend to have a lower cost of living - and in our top ten picks for best value cites, there's a lot to do at affordable prices). But even in the boonies where I am, we still can hear the siren song of daily deal sites, social media and e-mail alerts from retailers.

Which Hollywood Hottie Pulls Off the Bald the Best?

Tara Block — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 14:50:01 PDT

While some celebrities go for the hot and hairy look, the tide has turned with a handful of actors who've taken it all off - their head, that is. Joseph Gordon-Levitt went bald for his role in 50/50 as a cancer-stricken young man, and Jake Gyllenhaal shaved his head for the cop drama End of Watch. And Matt Damon, who's been rockin' the hairless look since July, uses his bald head to entertain his daughters. But which Hollywood baldy pulls off the look best?

Patrick Dempsey Spends a Boys' Day Out With His Mini Mes Darby and Sullivan

Katie Henry — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 12:37:06 PDT

Patrick Dempsey braved the rain in LA yesterday to visit the Malibu Lumber Yard with his twins, Darby and Sullivan. The handsome dad is fresh off a weekend hanging with the boys at their Little League practice. There's a new installment of Patrick's Grey's Anatomy, airing on ABC tonight, but next week's musical episode made Buzz's list of entertainment events to look forward to this Spring. His costar Chyler Leigh recently talked to BuzzSugar about the drama to come, saying, "I don't think it's going to be as intense and traumatic as last season, by any means. I think it's going to be more a personal devastation than an actual physical one." There's still no word on if Patrick plans to return to Seattle Grace next year, but he'll be making the rounds this Summer when his film Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon hits theaters - make sure to brush up on your Transformers knowledge before the movie premieres on July 1.
