Lauren Conrad arriving at LAX airport (1/12)

Jesus, would it kill this chick to do something remotely interesting like release a sex tape or get a DUI? It's not like she has any dignity. She's a freaking reality star. From the New York Post:

Is Lauren Conrad hiding something about her love life? The star of "The Hills" is said to be secretly engaged to boyfriend Kyle Howard, whom she's been dating since 2008. But a source said, "She is not wearing a ring because she wants to hold the secret back for her new MTV show." Conrad, whose complicated romantic life was the focus of "The Hills," is working on a new show for MTV that's supposed to be more about her fashion line than her love life. Her rep declined to comment.

Typical. Rather than share with her friends and family how happy she is, Lauren has been told by her publicist to withhold the engagement news in order to generate higher ratings for her TV show. If Lauren really wants to generate viewership by focusing on her personal life, she should probably skip the wedding announcement and just stick a video camera in her shower. You know that's how Katharine Hepburn became famous, don't you? Oh yeah, it's a big industry secret. No one talks about it.
