From Jason Wahler to Brody Jenner and even brief flings like Gavin Beasley, Lauren Conrad has dated her fair share of guys.

So who does her friend from back in the Laguna Beach days, and her BFF slash roommate now - Lauren "Lo" Bosworth - prefer for LC?

"Honestly, I think Stephen is best for Lauren," Bosworth told Us Weekly this week, referring to who she calls LC's best match, Stephen Colletti.

"It all goes back to friendships. We have all known each other for so long and that really translates to good relationships in the long run."

LC and Stephen Colletti dated during their Laguna Beach high school days and were thought to be maybe having a fling again this year (Lauren Conrad stated they have been "just friends" for a long time, however).

"He is so funny, has a really big heart and cares about his friends," Lo said of Stephen Colletti, seen here in an older photo with Lauren Conrad.

"He is there for you whenever you need him."

As for Conrad's on-and-off fling, Brody Jenner, Bosworth insists the two are on good terms (he even went to her fashion show Tuesday):

"Brody has a new girlfriend, Cora Skinner, and Lauren has completely moved on."

Conrad is also chummy with former foe, Kristin Cavallari - both of whom dated Colletti, which resulted in a long-running feud.

"Lauren and Kristin made up a few weeks ago," Lauren Bosworth said. "They were out at a bar and sat down and worked out their differences. Everything's fine."

Adds Lo, "We have all grown up so much since the Laguna Beach days."

The new season of The Hills debuts March 24.

More and more of the background of Ashley Dupre is coming into focus.

The 22-year-old woman at the center of the Eliot Spitzer prostitution ring sex scandal may have marketed herself on a modeling and acting site.

"Kristen," as the petite, brown-eyed brunette was named in a court filing, is legally Ashley DiPietro (full name Ashley Rae Maika DiPietro), according to the New York Times. Her stage name is Ashley Alexandra Dupre.

Got all that?

A website called ExploreTalent.com features a profile of a cute, 5-foot-3 girl, age 22, with brown hair and brown eyes, named Ashley DiPietro.

It appears, in our estimation, to be one and the same. Check out these seductive Ashley Dupre / Ashley DiPietro photos and see for yourself...

Ashley DiPietro, the legal name of Ashley Dupre, is the high-end hooker at the center of the sex scandal that brought down New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.

In other interesting Ashley Dupre news, being outed as part of a prostitution ring has given an unexpected boost to the aspiring singer's music career.

New York's Z100, the most widely listened to radio station in the U.S., and one of the most influential, played her song "What We Want" on Thursday.

Since her identity was revealed, Dupre's MySpace page has had more than 5 million profile views - and growing - as of Thursday and the price of "What We Want" on Amie Street - a site which prices downloads on popularity, was up to 98 cents.

A second single, "Move ya Body," was also selling for 98 cents.

The Hills' Spencer Pratt, a man never known for keeping his thoughts to himself when it comes to... well, anything, has a new avenue for expression.

The boyfriend of Heidi Montag and the reality TV villain America loves to hate was reportedly given his own advice column by Radar Magazine.

"Spencer is never afraid to speak his mind," says Radar editor Maer Roshan.

"When asking for advice, it's always good to have someone who will be brutally honest with you, and tell it like it is."

The name of this scintillating Spencer Pratt advice column will reportedly be "YO SPENCER!" We're serious. We wish we were kidding.

It will debut in Radar's April issue, which hits newsstands Tuesday, March 25, a day after The Hills returns will eight all-new episodes.

We just hope that Spencer Pratt's arch-nemesis and his former BFF, Brody Jenner, writes in and asks for some advice about Cora Skinner.

We've already talked about her once today (for being such a fashion train wreck), but now, Kate Bosworth is on the Marie Claire cover for April 2008, so get ready for a double-dip of this very skinny and somewhat talented star!

Here are some excerpts of Marie Claire's Kate Bosworth interview ...

On getting older: "I just turned 25, which was a weird birthday. I feel like I had this quarter-century crisis. Whenever I said before that I was 21 or 22, everyone would say, ‘Oh, see, you're so young.' And all of a sudden, you hit 25, and people say, "Oh, right, uh, OK.' And you're like, ‘Uh, what do you mean?"

On James Rousseau: "Orlando Bloom and I were both in the public eye. So this relationship [with James Rousseau] has been a little easier. And I feel like I'm in a different stage of my life, to be honest. Orlando and I, we were younger..."

Kate, in the eyes of 21 co-star Josh Gad: "Kate Bosworth can drink anyone under the table. Get a couple in her, and she's definitely a very fun and crazy girl. We went out to a pub on St. Patrick's Day. Not only did she pick the place, but she picked the rowdiest place, where everybody and their mother came. And it's like, ‘OK, she's one of us! Let's get sh!t-faced!' Kate is always one step ahead of you. She had a blast, and everybody was just enamored of the fact that there's a star singing, dancing, going nuts. But she was also the first one to be like, ‘OK, I'm out of here."

Britney Spears is glad to be back on TV.

She thinks working on How I Met Your Mother was great.

"Working at How I Met Your Mother has been so terrific," Spears said in a deep, thought-provoking statement.

The singer is scheduled to play Abby, a dorky receptionist, on the March 24 episode of the hit CBS comedy starring Neil Patrick Harris.

"Everyone, including the cast, the crew and the producers, has been wonderful and Abby is such a fun girl to play," Spears said. "I'm having a blast!" Hooray, y'all!

The troubled pop singer, who hopefully didn't spontaneously strip down to no panties on the set, filmed scenes yesterday in L.A.

Her mom, Lynne Spears, was spotted visiting her trailer.

"Britney's not playing a version of herself," How I Met Your Mother creator Craig Thomas said. "I think that's part of what appealed to her."

It is Britney Spears' first return to the small screen since a 2006 cameo on Will & Grace... unless you count last fall's VMA live disaster.

Let's at least give Elisabeth Hasselbeck some credit: unlike former coworker, Rosie O'Donnell, this host of The View didn't refer to 9/11 as a conspiracy.

But the conservative blonde is singing a conspiratorial tuner over David Hernandez being voted off American Idol last night.

"My mind went, 'You know what? This is a conspiracy," said Hasselbeck during this morning's show.

"American Idol maybe didn't want to deal with the fact that he had this shady - so-called - past and they blocked all of his phone calls of people voting for him.'"

Whoopi Goldberg was taken aback at this accusation, reiterating Hasselbeck's stance in amazement: "They blocked his phone calls?!?"

Sounds like a controversial, attention-getting viewpoint to me, Elisabeth basically responded. We wonder if she also thinks Eliot Spitzer got a raw deal.

"I'm making up my own conspiracy theory. This is my paranoia," she said.

"Because he's good - he is good - despite his... whatever he was doing on the side. But I think he actually deserved the spot to be there and I feel like maybe they were just trying to get him off the show."

What do you think? Did American Idol conspire to give David Hernandez the boot?

The MySpace page of Ashley Alexandra Dupre, 22, provides a window into the life of a high-end prostitute and aspiring musician who went from a broken home in New Jersey to a lucrative "career" in the city that never sleeps.

In an August 30 posting on MySpace, Ashley Dupre (born Ashley Youmans, then known as Ashley Alexandra Dupre or by her hooker alias Kristen) wrote:

"The past few months have been a roller coaster with so called friends, lovers, and family ... but its something you have to deal with and confront in order to move on ..."

"What destroys me, strengthens me" is the deep slogan next to an Ashley Alexandra Dupre photo. There are other Ashley Dupre photos showing her at various places, including in a bikini on a boat in a tropical locale.

The number of hits to Dupre's MySpace page soared to two million as the story broke linking Dupre to the prostitution ring frequented by Eliot Spitzer.

The New York Governor announced his resignation, effective Monday, after being snared in a federal investigation of Emperor's Club VIP.

There is actually a photo gallery dedicated to Spitzer on Ashley Dupre's MySpace page, including shots of the posh Washington hotel where their trysts occurred.

Now the Emperor's Club's most famous employee, the 22-year-old Dupre describes her favorite musical artists as Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera and Frank Sinatra, among many others.

Her Web site boasted a recording of a song, "What We Want."

"I know what you want, you got what I want. I know what you need. Can you handle me?" Ashley Alexandra Dupre sings to all who will listen. Gulp.

"Kristen" briefly spoke to the New York Times last night about the Eliot Spitzer sex scandal, but provided few sordid details. Sorry guys.

Law enforcement officials identified the governor as a Client No. 9, a man who had a February 13 sexual encounter with "Kristen" and paid her $4,300.

The rest, as they say, is political sex scandal history. Anyway, below is a look at some of Ashley Dupre's MySpace friends. They look like a classy bunch!

It's a tough call, but ForBiddeN aka Christine Dolce is our fave! OMG! Follow the jump for a glimpse at a very special Ashley Dupre Facebook group!

One of The Hills spoilers being talked about on celebrity gossip sites and given away in previews is that Brody Jenner has a new girlfriend.

But, as The Hills cast has become so famous that calling it a reality TV show is now a stretch, we have known about this since January.

The fact that Cora Skinner (a lingerie model) is Brody Jenner's new girlfriend will (does) not sit well with Lauren Conrad. But what will she do about it?

Girls of Brody Jenner, present and past: Cora Skinner and Lauren Conrad.

Clearly, LC and Brody are still on reasonably good terms, and remain friends, as he was spotted at her fashion show this week. So that's nice at least.

But we can't help but think Brody missed out on a real keeper by not committing to LC! Yeah, Cora Skinner is kinda cute. But come on. She's no Lauren.

We welcome your views, Hills fans. Who do you think is hotter, and that Brody Jenner should date: Cora Skinner or Lauren Conrad?

Calm down, celebrity gossip tabloids.

While Kanye West and his fiancee Alexis Phifer will be walking down the aisle at some point, that day hasn't arrived yet.

The rapper rep told Us Weekly that Internet reports about a secret wedding ceremony in Europe are "untrue."

Kanye proposed to Phifer in 2006 while vacationing in Italy.

Sources close to the Grammy-Award winning artists have said he would tie the knot with Phifer to honor his late mother's wishes that they make their relationship official. It just hasn't happened yet.

"I'm just going to go and get married," West told GQ last year. "I'm not going to make a big deal out of it."
