Lauren Conrad showed off her California girl style as she posed in various LWDs for a Cosmopolitan photo shoot. Her final episode of The Hills airs on Sunday, and many of you are still interested in her last days on the show. Lauren opened up about her frustrations with producers concerning Heidi, and talked about her excitement for the future. Here's more:
- On The Hills producers pushing her and Heidi back together in season five: "What they didn't get is that I didn't want to fight with her anymore. It's hard to look at somebody who used to be your best friend and say, 'We can't be friends. Too much has happened.' I'm trying to move on, but they won't let me. And when someone keeps pushing you into the same position well . . . you get upset."
- On Kyle Howard: "I feel sexiest with him when I'm in sweatpants and no make-up. "
- On life after the show: "I've always had another season to look forward to, but now life is a little more unplanned. It's really exciting."
It's not surprising that LC is looking forward to a more private life, and we continue to see how happy she is with Kyle without any manufactured drama from MTV.
Maggie Gyllenhaal was rocking an eccentric outfit on the set of Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang in the UK yesterday. Maggie is no stranger to playing quirky characters, and her big smile tells us she was having a ball on the set of the kid's movie. Next month we'll get to see her in Away We Go, but right now she seems to be enjoying working on a project that she can share with Ramona.

Patrick Dempsey looked sexy in his sweater on his way out of a restaurant in LA yesterday. He has the whole Summer to relax now that Grey's Anatomy has wrapped, but he's still getting recognition for his hard work — he's been submitted in the Emmy race this year for Best Supporting Actor. Patrick's costars have gotten Emmy love in the past, but it may be his time to shine after another dramatic year at Seattle Grace.

Chris Pine stayed connected with his Bluetooth while running errands around LA yesterday, sadly not looking quite as hot as when he's shirtless. The actor's recently been linked to Audrina Patridge, a match that received LC's seal of approval, but his personal life isn't the only thing he's focusing on. Soon he'll be hitting the stage with Chris Noth in the political play Farragut North, which may be the first step toward steering away from Captain Kirk.

Mandy Moore flashed a huge smile as she took the microphone to perform at Amoeba Music in LA yesterday. She's talked about doing something different with her newest album, especially since she's grown a lot since her early days as a pop star. Getting married was also a big stepping stone toward adulthood, and Mandy talked about her new marriage to Ryan Adams, saying, "It still feels not entirely real. Things are wonderful, and there's such a peaceful settledness about it. But sometimes I can't wrap my head around it. It seems bizarre but really cool at the same time, like, 'Wow — I did that!'" Mandy's new album Amanda Leigh was released yesterday, and it sounds she's got plenty of things to smile about these days.
