  • Kristin Cavallari, Jay Cutler: Theirs Was Love at First Sight

    Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler married back in 2013 and already have two children–with number three on the way. Theirs was definitely a case of love at first sight.

    On Tuesday, during a question and answer session hosted on Twitter by both Revlon and Cosmopolitan, the star of The Hills and Laguna Beach shared relationship advice and talked about how quickly things heated up between her and Cutler–before they were husband and wife.

    In addition to relationship questions, Kristin Cavallari also talked makeup with the Twitter fans who checked in for the Q & A session.

    People seemed far more interested in her relationship talk, however.

    Kristin Cavallari’s relationship advice–whether or not that relationship involved love at first sight–is definitely sound.

    Kristin Cavallari realizes that living her life in the spotlight makes her a target for the paparazzi. Fortunately she has never paid attention to much that’s been printed about her and Jay Cutler. Cutler had a hard time adjusting to the paps, however.

    Love at first sight is great–but longevity is even more important. It sounds like Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler likely have what it takes to make their love last.

  • Chrissy Teigen Is A Member Of The Mile-High Club

    Chrissy Teigen has joined the mile-high club!

    That’s right, during an interview with Cosmopolitan, in which her photo graces the front cover, Teigen revealed some very personal information about her and her hubby John Legend, admitting that he and Brooklyn Decker are the reason that she gained her name to fame.

    “I got so lucky that I met Brooklyn Decker and she [hooked me up with] Sports Illustrated,” Teigen said. “I got so lucky that I met John, who propelled my career. I’m not delusional: that definitely helped.” Chrissy and John met in 2009 on the set of his hit Stereo.

    Chrissy later revealed some intimate details about her love life, holding nothing back. “I’m not going to lie. We hooked up,” she said. “[When he went on tour] I left him be himself for a while. The worst thing you can do is try to lock someone like that down early on, then have them think, ‘There’s so much more out there.’ I played it cool for a long time,” she continued. “Never once did I ask, ‘What are we?’ Marriage was never my goal, because I’ve never been very traditional. I was just happy to be with him.”

    Chrissy claims that she and John are not “freaky deaky”, but she did reveal that they are both members of the mile-high club. “We were on our way to Thailand to see my parents, flying commercial first-class,” she explained. “We were under a blanket. We weren’t even in one of those pod things. I feel like we should get a trophy for that.”

    “We’re by no means freaky-deaky, but let’s just say, we’re open to things,” she continued. “We’re very okay with PDA. When we go to a restaurant, he loves when I wear a dress, so he can do some upper-thigh rubbing.”

  • Khloé Kardashian Talks With Cosmo

    While Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom might’ve recently called it quits, the gorgeous reality star said she’s still hoping for one thing: a baby.

    She and mom Kris Jenner talked to Cosmopolitan for their April issue. The duo not only starred in an adorable mother-daughter shoot, Jenner also acted as the interviewer for her daughter.

    “You are nicer to each other now,” Khloé said when asked about her mom’s split from Bruce Jenner. “You are nicer to each other now. You get excited to see each other at dinners. It makes me sad that people think Bruce is no longer a part of my life. I talk to him every day! I consider him my second father.”

    The 29-year-old also opened up about her desire to have children.

    “I love kids,” she told the magazine. “I hope and pray I have kids when the time is right.”

    The reality star’s life and split from Odom has been plastered in almost every tabloid, but Kardashian is trying her best to keep a positive outlook on what’s to come.

    “I live for the moment. If you think too far in the future, you might get disappointed or set the bar too low. It sucks at times, but everything happens for a reason, no matter how sh**ty your circumstances are. To say where I want to be in 10 years …I have no idea. I just know that I want to be happy and smiling,” she said.

    And no matter where she ends up in life, the Kardashian sister knows she can always fall back on her family.

    “It depends on what crisis we’re going through, because there are so many of us. Two heads are better than one. Three heads are better than two. Four heads … that’s how we are.”

  • Ariana Grande: ‘Cosmo’s’ February Cover Girl

    Ariana Grande celebrated the dawn of 2014 during a performance in Hollywood on Tuesday night, and she also celebrates her womanhood–all 20 years of it–on the cover of Cosmopolitan’s February issue. Inside its pages she talks about being an ‘old soul’ and how ex-boyfriend Nathan Sykes from The Wanted won her over in a very old-fashioned way.

    “I think I’m an old soul. What excites younger people doesn’t excite me… I’m kind of a boring, normal girl who likes Harry Potter and to sit in her pajamas and sing. A lot of my friends are partiers, but I’ve never really clicked with that. I like Barbra Streisand, and when was the last time you saw Babs getting, like, turnt up? That’s kind of the road that I, as a lady, would like to go down,” she says in her interview.

    Good for Ariana! At 20 years old she should be waiting for young men to woo her romantically. There’s no reason for young women her age to be flaunting themselves in clubs or parties.

    Ariana Grande is clearly way too busy to be dating anyway. Her debut album Yours Truly has kept her on the go since its release. She isn’t caught up in the self-centered aspects of stardom, however, and is mindful of her adoring fans.

    She recently got in trouble at an Amsterdam airport when she was mobbed by those fans, however.

    “I never want to be the person who avoids my own fans, so I always try to stop and say hi,” she says. “But it turned into a big mosh of people, and it became quite dangerous. I got sent to the police station, and they told me not to come back to that airport!”

    Once tucked safely inside her hotel room, she was cautioned about going outside.

    “I just went out anyway,” she says. “I said, ‘You can’t stop me!’ That’s one thing to get in trouble for: loving your fans too much.”

    Despite her exciting life, Ariana admits that traveling all the time does have its drawbacks. Tuesday night found her in Hollywood, performing on Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Years Eve special.

    “I didn’t know that I was capable of going to so many places in so few days,” she says. “It’s really hard for me and my friend Alexa, because she’s in school and she doesn’t have the flexibility to come visit me on the road whenever she wants. But whenever she’s on break, I try to fly her in and keep her with me as long as I can. It’s funny; one time I tweeted her school in Gainesville, like, ‘I’m keeping Alexa!’ And they tweeted me back: ‘All right. Make sure she does her homework.’”

    Hopefully this former Nickelodeon star (Ariana is known for her role as Cat Valentine in the Nick shows Victorious and Sam & Cat) stays as sweet and as old a soul as she currently is. The Hollywood life can eat a young performer alive or send them spiraling in a bad direction. It would be nice to see Ariana Grande soar to the top without changing her image or selling herself short.

    In the meantime she certainly looks gorgeous on that Cosmo cover.

  • Miranda Kerr Steps Out in Paris and Cosmo

    Miranda Kerr is back on the catwalk, walking for Chanel’s 2014 Spring-Summer prêt-à-porter show and Stella McCartney’s Spring 2014 show, during Paris Fashion Week. The 30-year-old wife and mother strutted right alongside models almost 10 years younger, including hot ticket Cara Delevingue (21-years-old).

    The former Victoria’s Secret Angel is also gracing the cover of November’s Cosmopolitan magazine. She is taking this opportunity to offer commentary about her success and the strength and support she needed to get where she is today. During the Cosmo interview, she gives a shout-out to hubby Orlando Bloom and reveals their son’s opinion—two-year-old Flynn—about who does the bulk of the work in the family, “Flynn says Mommy works and Daddy plays, because Daddy is in a play… so that makes sense.”

    “I’m a lot stronger than people think,” Kerr says, talking about starting her own company—Kora Organics, skincare products—and the intensity of being involved at every level. “I’m that person who says, no matter what the problem is, there’s a solution. That’s the way my brain is wired… I can take no for an answer and accept it—but if there’s a solution and I can make it work, why wouldn’t I?”

    But Kerr also promotes a little alternative women’s lib, with a plug for McCartney, “Don’t feel like you have to do and be everything. Let the man do some things for you, because if he cares for you, he will want to. When I get home, I’m not the boss like I am at work—I slip into a more feminine role. I take everything off and put on my Stella McCartney silk robe.”

    Aussie-born Kerr also spoke about the downsides of the modeling world. “Models are some of the most insecure people I’ve ever met,” Kerr told Cosmo, “They’re constantly being told they’re not good enough. You’ve really got to practice loving yourself.”

    Wondering what a super model takes home as a souvenir from all her exotic photo shoots? “I collect underwear from my travels. Lace, lingerie, bodysuits…they’re like souvenirs.”

  • Kelly Osbourne Calls Lady Gaga A Big Hypocrite

    Apparently, these celebrity spats are serious business. Just ask Kelly Osbourne, who, after appearing in the July edition of Cosmopolitan, decided to reignite a “feud” that had already fizzled out; considering it started early last year (2012). Osbourne, when asked about it, instead of brushing the subject aside, seemed eager to discuss it in the article accompanying her latest pictorial.

    During the discussion, the person who was made famous because of her father’s historic antics pulled no punches while talking about the ring leader of the Little Monsters. “I loved Lady Gaga. I totally believed in everything she stood for, until I realized she’s a great big hypocrite. Don’t say, ‘When you see bullying, intervene,’ while letting your fans send me death threats. If my fans did that, I would not stand for it. You can say whatever you want with your millions of monsters. I know the truth. You bells and whistles mean nothing to me. You’re feeding on the freaks and geeks to further your career? Do you really care about the gay community? Because if you did, you’d stand up for it more than you do.”

    While this particular spat will go the way of many celebrity stories–that is, soon to be forgotten–is it noteworthy that Osbourne’s invocation of Lady Gaga brought the eccentric artist back into the limelight? A quick look at the Google Trends results for “Lady Gaga” clearly reveals the amount of conversation surrounding her has decreased. Granted it has been almost two years since her last studio effort, which would help explain the reduction in conversation. However, if you follow the “any publicity is good publicity” strategy–considering Gaga’s outrageous fashion sense, she’s already well aware of this approach–Osbourne actually did Gaga a favor, as the singer prepares to release her latest creation, Artpop.

    One last thing, considering Osbourne was ripped by Gaga fans when she last went toe-to-toe with her, how bad do you think the reaction will be this time? Undoubtedly, Osbourne’s Twitter will tell the upcoming tale.

  • Helen Gurley Brown Dies After 47 Years Of Editing At Cosmopolitan

    Helen Gurley Brown, the long-time editor-in-chief for Cosmopolitan magazine, has passed away at the age of 90. She took the editor-in-chief role in 1965, and held it for 32 years, before being replaced by Bonnie Fuller. Gurley Brown remained with publisher Hearst, however, keeping an editor role for the magazine’s 59 international editions, all the way up until her death.

    “Helen Gurley Brown was an icon. Her formula for honest and straightforward advice about relationships, career and beauty revolutionized the magazine industry,” said Hearst CEO Frank Bennack. “She lived every day of her life to the fullest and will always be remembered as the quintessential ‘Cosmo girl.’ She will be greatly missed.”

    Gurley Brown was also known for her best-selling book Sex and the Single Girl, which was published in 1962, when she was 40. She was married to film producer David Brown.

    Hearst shared the following letter from Bennack to staff:

    Dear Hearst Colleague:

    I know you will join me in feelings of great sadness upon learning of the loss of our dear friend and colleague Helen Gurley Brown. Helen passed away this morning at the McKeen Pavilion at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia after a brief hospitalization. She was 90.

    It would be hard to overstate the importance to Hearst of her success with Cosmopolitan, or the value of the friendship many of us enjoyed with her. Helen was one of the world’s most recognized magazine editors and book authors, and a true pioneer for women in journalism—and beyond.

    Life here will somehow not seem the same without her near-daily arrival at 300 West 57th Street.

    Donations may be made to The Pussycat Foundation, c/o Karen Sanborn, Hearst Corp., 300 W. 57th Street, New York, NY 10019. The foundation benefits women in the United States by assisting them in joining the workforce, while pursuing their career and creative potential, as well as providing other charitable assistance. A fall memorial will be announced at a later date.

    All good wishes,

    Frank Bennack

    Earlier this year, Gurley Brown donated (as part of her and her late husband’s joint philanthropy efforts) $30 million to Columbia and Stanford Universities, creating the David and Helen Gurley Brown Institute for Media Innovation, which is designed to represent “the increasingly important connection between journalism and technology,” according to the schools. David Brown attended both.
