Kristin Cavallari: The Hills Was Fake, Feud With Lauren Conrad Was Real

Kristin Cavallari says The Hills was fake. Knock us over with a feather. Her beef with Lauren Conrad, however, was at least partially legit. Kristin discussed her old reality show days last night on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live . Andy Cohen asked her if her “distaste” for her former Hills and Laguna Beach cast-mate was scripted, to which she laughed loudly and shouted, “No!” Kristin Cavallari then clarified, “I do feel like [MTV producers] put things in our heads. I mean, we were 17 and 18. They made it a lot worse than it was.” All in all, Cavallari admitted ” The Hills was pretty fake .” During her two seasons on the show, she said she had a series of “fake relationships” and “fake fights.” “But it was fun,” she says, “because [when] you’re acting, it was more fun for me.” Asked which cast member she regretted dating the most, Cavallari said “no one.” “I would say Justin, but I never really dated him,” she adds. “I think I made out with him once and that took a lot of convincing. Finally I was like, ‘All right, I’ll just do it!'” Asked to say three nice things about Lauren Conrad – which LC did on the same show about Kristin earlier this fall, Jay Cutler’s fiance responded: “She is a very pretty girl – I know she said the same thing. She’s very successful. And we actually have had a lot of really fun nights together, so she can be a lot of fun.” Let mostly fake bygones me bygones, as they say.

Barefoot Homeless Man Not Homeless After All; Boots From NYPD Officer Already Missing

The homeless man given a pair of boots by a kind NYPD officer last month apparently is not homeless after all. The boots are also missing already. According to the N.Y. Daily News , Jeffrey Hillman, 54, has a Bronx apartment paid for via a combination of rent vouchers, Social Security, and VA benefits. It’s a sad and somewhat puzzling follow-up to a story that captured millions of hearts. Hillman and police officer Lawrence DePrimo became Internet sensations after a tourist snapped a photo of DePrimo giving the homeless man a pair of boots . The photo went viral and warmed thousands of hearts, but yesterday, Hillman was spotted around New York, again barefoot. They are “hidden,” he confessed. “They are worth a lot of money. I could lose my life,” he told the N.Y. Times . The Daily News reports that various city organizations have attempted to help Hillman, to no avail, as “[Hillman] has a history of turning down services.” The man’s brother, Kirk Hillman, told the Daily News that he hasn’t heard from Jeffrey since January. Kirk, too, said Jeffrey has refused overtures of help. “We love our brother very much,” Kirk Hillman told the newspaper. “Our door is always open, but this is a lifestyle he’s chosen.” While he won’t say where they are or why they could endanger him, Jeffrey Hillman told the Times that he is grateful for the boots from Officer DePrimo: “I want to thank everyone that got onto this thing. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart. It meant a lot to me. And to the officer, first and foremost.”
