Lauren Conrad: A Day In the Life
Lauren Conrad: A Day In the Life
It was a typical hectic Wednesday for Hills hottie Lauren Conrad, as she went about her daily business while filming new scenes for the hit MTV reality show.
To kick things off, LC and a gal pal attended a meeting at Fine Line Inc., where the 22-year-old Laguna Beach native spent over an hour inside before leaving with some clothes samples in hand.
From there, an animated Miss Conrad joined friends for lunch at Toast on 3rd Street - entertaining the gathered girls throughout the lunch date.
Finished up with her grub and gossip, Lauren quickly made her way Downtown to attend an event at the Fashion Institute before getting all dressed up for a night at Kumo with co-star pals Audrina Patridge and Lauren “Lo” Bosworth.
Kate Hudson’s Dinner Date with Ryder
Kate Hudson’s Dinner Date with Ryder
Keeping things casual with a long blue top and jeans, Kate Hudson was spotted out with and her son Ryder Russell Robinson in New York City on Monday afternoon (June 16).
After running a few errands and stopping back by her apartment, the “Fool’s Gold” babe and her little guy headed off with a few friends for an early dinner downtown.
The day before, Kate had quite the interesting Father’s Day brunch at Frankie’s Spuntino in Brooklyn, stepping out with new beau Lance Armstrong, their respective children and her ex-husband, Chris Robinson.
After brunch, reports tell that “Armstrong toted little Ryder to the curb and held his hand while the crew waited for a cab.” As previously reported by , Kate and Lance then stepped out for an Iron Maiden concert at Madison Square Garden later the same evening.
G.I. Joe Cast Preview
Our friends over at IGN have created a little clip introducing us to the cast of upcoming action flick G.I. Joe. I have never before in my life seen a G.I. Joe TV show episode, read one of the comics, or played with the dolls action figures, so I really couldn’t tell you if these casts are accurate or not. Though, I’m slightly excited about Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who has been making a name for himself since he was 13 and had his first starring role in Angels in the Outfield.
Any G.I. Joe fans out there? What do you think of the cast?
What is the appropriate amount of time you should wait before talking about spoilers?
There was some controversy today in our Top Chef winner’s post. We revealed who the winner was before the jump (and without spoiler warnings). Our commenters — usually shy and unwilling to criticize our site (ahem) — let us know exactly what they thought of that decision (hint: they were not happy).
It occurred to me that the idea of television spoilers is a relatively new one. I mean, after all, it’s only been about 20 years or so that the majority of us had the power to watch our shows whenever we wanted to. In our parents’ day, you talked about what happened on TV the night before without fear — if anyone at the office missed the show, well, there was nothing they could do about it anyway.
What we need is a new etiquette. So, I figured I’d throw a post up and ask you guys: how long should you wait before it’s okay to talk about spoilers?
The answer isn’t necessarily cut and dry, especially when you stop to consider that with some serialized shows, people have taken to waiting until each season is finished, then gorging themselves on the season box sets. To me, it’s unreasonable to expect everyone around you to avoid talking about Lost ten months out of the year, but then, as Atticus Finch once said, you never really understand someone until you “climb into their skin and walk around in it.” Maybe you season-watchers have a good justification for asking for that courtesy.
(As a side note: now that I think about it, maybe Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs wasn’t that bad a guy — maybe he was just a big fan of To Kill a Mockingbird.)
There is also the question of what, exactly, constitutes a “spoiler.” There are some people who feel any information about a TV show or a movie prior to viewing it effectively “ruins” the experience for them. There was a mini-meltdown among my friends because one of them warned us to “make sure you stay till the end of the credits when you see Iron Man.” I thought it was a good tip, but a few of my friends thought this was too much information to give away.
“Now I’m looking for the surprise and that makes it less special.”
Yeah, a lot of my friends also take rule changes to the Dungeons and Dragons system personally.
So, to recap, here is my Emily Post question of the day: How long should a website wait to consider information about a show common knowledge (and therefore free to discuss)? How long should you do so in your personal encounters? And, finally, what is a reasonable definition of a spoiler?
Your input is always appreciated!
