Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari recently admitted they have a soft spot for Jersey Shore. And while Whitney Port's no stranger to Seaside Heights herself (she told her Twit fam Vinny's her fave cast member), she's even more excited about MTV's newest show: The Buried Life.

"This past week I had the opportunity to meet and hang out with the boys from The Buried Life. Ben, Dave, Jonnie, and Duncan," the City star wrote on her website. "They are so sweet and beyond ambitious. I am so excited to watch [their show]! They have me thinking about my own bucket list!"

(Hey, us, too!)

Glad to see you're so on board with The B. Life, Whit. If you ever want a job blogging 'bout the show, let us know! Just please, please promise you'll stay away from our boyfriend, BenDaveJonnieDuncan. (Sorry, lady -- he's taken!)

It's not the first time Jayde Nicole and Brody Jenner have called things off -- but when the couple decided to quit each other (again) last month, something told us this latest breakup might be their last. So what went wrong? We're not sure about the final nail in the coffin, but Jayde says one thing's for sure: having the world constantly judge her romantic life didn't help. "Its hard [having everybody] watching your relationship and kind of scrutinizing it," Jayde told OK! magazine.

With all that drama hanging over her head, Jayde said she's not sure whether she'll be returning for Season 6 ("As of right now, I’m not going to be on the show,” she said), but explained that she's still been in contact with some of her costars -- including Brody.

"Me and Brody still keep in touch," Jayde told OK!. "We’re still friends. Everyone that I was friends with on the show I’m still friends with now.”

Seriously, it's not like Jayde's been sitting at home, reading about Brody and Whit in the tabloids and waiting for her phone to ring. Check out these pix of her getting cozy with Entourage star Adrian Grenier at a poker tourney last week. Jealous much, Brody?

As soon as rumors of Whitney and Brody's (supposed) hookup hit the web, everyone had one thing on their minds: What would Lauren Conrad think? True, she hasn't dated Brody for years (and has happily moved on to My Boys star Kyle Howard), but as Whitney's close, personal friend and Brody's ex-turned-confidante, LC's got two options: wave this off -- or see it as one big (and extremely public) betrayal. So how will she react? Assuming Whit and Brody ARE the real deal, does LC have the right to be pissed? Take the poll!

Rumor has it, Hills hunk Brody Jenner (who split with Jayde Nicole last month) is already back to playing the field. The newly single reality star was spotted canoodling with a leggy blonde last weekend -- and, no, the lucky gal wasn't Kristin Cavallari ... it was City star/Hills alumnus Whitney Port! Yep, sources told the New York Daily News that Whit "couldn't keep her eyes" off the Brodester and said the cozy duo was practically joined at the hip.

"They didn't come together, but Whitney ran over to see him the second he walked in," said the NYDN's eyewitness, who added that the former costars "stayed together for much of the evening" before leaving the club together.

So does this mean Whitney and Brody are more than just friends? We're not sure, but we're betting Lauren Conrad (ahem, Brody's one-time gf) would love to find out. FYI, LC has yet to say a word about the latest fling rumors, but she HAS warned Whit against dating Brody in the past. Check out what LC told Whitney about steering clear of the Brodester in this "lost" scene from The Hills: Season 3.

Oh, what a difference a coast makes! City star Whitney Port spent the holidays with the fam in L.A., and she couldn't believe how toasty the weather was out West. "[I] was so excited when I got off the plane to feel the warm air!" she blogged three days before Xmas. "I could not believe that it was a 50 degree difference between the coasts! I even got to wear shorts on Saturday!!!" Check out these pix of Whit's decidedly un-wintry wardrobe and tell us whether you're down with her pretty polka-dotted getup.

Now's your chance to ask Audrina Patridge anything you ever wanted to know about her! The Hillzie's been fielding fan questions on her blog, Audrina Patridge.com, and recently she's fessed up to everything from her favorite designer (she's all about Balmain) to her BFFship with recent ex Corey Bohan (right now, they're just "friends" who "stay in touch").

'Course, much as we value her fashion feedback/Bohan updates, we're much more interested to hear her thoughts on dating, relationships ... and Justin Bobby. Check out two of her most revealing answers after the jump, plus head to 'Drina's website to hit her up yourself!

With 2009 drawing to a close, Whitney Port's looking back on the year and trying to decide what she'll change in 2010 ... starting with: her wardrobe! Natch, she needs your help to clue her into what worked (and what didn't), so for the next two weeks, she's posting one outfit a day and asking her fans for a thumbs-up/thumbs-down. Check out these pix of her first two looks (above/below), then sound off in the comments and cast your vote to give Whit the 411.

+ Wanna know more about what Whitney's wearing? According to her site, Look #1 (top) is "a Moschino dress, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes and Fenton Fallon earrings" and Look #2 is a "Luca Luca dress with Judith Ripka jewelry."

Don't let the Christian Sirianos of the world fool you. Becoming the next big designer doesn't happen overnight, and it certainly doesn't happen to every girl/guy with a sewing machine and a dream. Fortunately, things are looking promising for Whitney Port, who turned her preliminary sketches into a full-fledged collection (Whitney Eve) on The City and is gearing up to see her spring 2010 line hit stores at the end of January.

Yesterday, the stylish City star spoke with WWD.com about the dual pressures of making it in the industry -- and following in the footsteps of former costars (and fellow fashionistas) Heidi Pratt and Lauren Conrad. And while Whit waved off comparisons to her girlfriends (they're all designers, but that's about it!), she admitted to feeling the pressures of the economic downturn.

"Obviously, it's scary," Whitney confessed. "I think it's really hard to break out [as a designer] right now since the fashion industry is struggling. I mean, people don't want to spend their money on clothes right now -- it's a luxury."

So how does she cope with her fears? By forgetting about all the scary statistics -- and putting her energy towards creating clothes that reflect her personal style.

"You're always worried about people not understanding your point of view, not being able to get it. But I think my biggest competition is myself."

When your everyday clothes are chic enough to make Heidi Klum blush, no one (not even Whitney Port!) can deny you've got a style IQ bordering on genius. So how does Olivia Palermo do it? Simple: she mixes tailored cheapies with seasonal splurges, accessorizes like a pro and makes sure her feet are always dressed to kill.

Yep, Liv's combination of aspirational/accessible has already earned her praise from even the toughest critics, and now the City star's earned herself a place on Teen Vogue's annual Best Dressed list (she came in at No. 9!). Read why Lauren Conrad's alma mater is going gaga for Palerms -- they claim she's "redefined party dressing" -- plus tell us how long you think it'll take the social-slash-stylista to crack the top five!

With the holidays just around the corner, we thought we'd take a look on Twitter and see what our fave Hills and City stars have been up to. Turns out, they're just as bad at getting their early Chrismukkah shopping done as we are! Take a look at these tweets from the past week and find out why Lo Bosworth's sore (at LC!), Stephanie Pratt's pattin' herself on the back and Whitney Port's burning the midnight oil.
