Jake Gyllenhaal Is a Nouveau Modelizer, Roberto Cavalli Goes to College, and Miranda Kerr In a Scary Situation

Looks like Leonardo DiCaprio and Adam Levine have some competition when it comes to model-mongering: Modelizer-in-the-making Jake Gyllenhaal has reportedly ditched one Sports Illustrated model for another. {Page Six} Being extraordinary beautiful definitely comes with a price--a Massachusetts man has been charged with threatening to kill his "soul-mate" Miranda Kerr. {The Fashion Spot} We would be lying if we said we didn't come into the fashion industry having some disillusionment due to The Hills. Here are 20 ways Lauren Conrad and co. gave fashion closet interns everywhere false hopes of going to Paris and more. {Buzzfeed Fashion} Student of the universe Roberto Cavalli has received an honorary degree from Milan's Domus Academy. We think the real reward is that he evaded the atrocious student loans. {WWD}

MTV Pulls Plug on Lauren Conrad's New Reality Show Because It Was "Too High Brow"

MTV, the network that made Lauren Conrad a star, has confirmed they will not air her new reality show, which focused on her forthcoming contemporary line, Paper Crown. “We decided not to go ahead with the show,” David Janollari, Head of Programming for MTV, told EW.com. “She did do a pilot. There were talks about whether we could somehow manage to put together a special based on that footage but that’s also a big question mark based on her interest in that and the finances...It was a great attempt but it just didn’t feel like a perfect fit for us now.” It's news that seems to have come to a shock to Conrad, who talked up the show in her Teen Vogue cover story a few months ago, saying it was inspired by The September Issue. “The Hills was shot with three or four cameras; things like entrances and exits were reshot; and if there were sound issues, we were asked to repeat what we just said,” Conard said. “This show is going to have a smaller crew, and they’ll just be following us around. It’s going to have a rougher feel, but I think the end result is going to be more true.” Seems MTV wanted more Hills and less R.J. Cutler. Conrad has issued the following statement regarding MTV's decision to kill the show:

Lauren Conrad Wants Her New Show To Be Like The September Issue

Lauren Conrad's new MTV reality show won't be a Hills redux. Gone are the grainy glammed-up montages of LA's freeways, Conrad says her new show will be filmed more like a "documentary." "The Hills was shot with three or four cameras; things like entrances and exits were reshot; and if there were sound issues, we were asked to repeat what we just said," LC tells Teen Vogue in her cover story. "This show is going to have a smaller crew, and they'll just be following us around. It's going to have a rougher feel, but I think the end result is going to be more true." (Right...) Her inspiration? The September Issue. The show will focus on her new line, Paper Crown, which, Conrad says, will be all about "really great fits, fabrics, and details. It won't be overly trendy—nothing that's trying too hard."

Lauren Conrad Was Stylish Even in Diapers, Plus Excerpts From Her New Book

Lauren Conrad's newest book, Lauren Conrad Style is out today. While we have differing opinions on this site as to whether Conrad's a true style authority, this adorable baby photo from LC proves she had style from her her heart-shaped sunnies down to her toddler ankle that she holds just-so (though the Lauren Conrad of today would never let a snapper get so close to an upskirt shot). Conrad's style evolved from Laguna Beach to The Hills to today, and her evolution into a polished classic California cool girl has inspired and influenced countless teens. And let's face it, if you ever rocked a small braid, some credit is due to Miss Conrad (and her hair stylist). Of course, now we'll be able to get more LC style in her newest MTV show, which will focus on her contemporary line, Paper Crown. Lauren Conrad Style offers style advice and tips that helped transform the reality show star into the polished young lady she is today. Here, from her new book, her five go-to pieces:

In Honor of the Series Finale Of The Hills, An Analysis of Tats On the Show

Ill-advised tattoos are a Young Hollywood tradition, and nowhere are they more plentiful than on the men of The Hills. For six seasons we've watched Lauren, Kristin and Audrina pine for dudes whose favorite outfits consist of board shorts and ink––not all of it pretty. On Tuesday, after the series finale on MTV, Brody, Justin Bobby and the rest will motorcycle off into the sunset. But these gentlemen have been permanently etched in the pop culture consciousness. They've marked up their abs and shoulders, and even convinced their lady friends to do the same. So which one committed the worst sins of the flesh?

Rumor: MTV Has Canceled The City

Rumor has it that MTV has canceled (seemingly) successful scripted reality series The City. The current season, which airs on Tuesdays at 10.30pm EST, will be its last. The City, a spin-off of the The Hills, which was a spin-off of Laguna Beach, documents the "life" of Whitney Port, a young designer trying to make it in New York. It mostly takes place at real-life fashion industry companies, including Kelly Cutrone's public relations firm People's Revolution and Elle magazine, where main characters Erin Kaplan and Olivia Palermo "work." (Kaplan does indeed work full time at Elle, Palermo does not.) In general, we're a bit surprised by this news.
