And why would I do that?  Lauren Conrad is an author?  Since when?

Lauren Conrad: From The Hills to the best-seller’s list?

The MTV reality star’s name tops the cover of her first novel, L.A. Candy, which hits shelves June 16.

Conrad’s publishing debut is a fictional story about a 19-year-old girl named Jane Roberts who has not-so-subtle similarities to the author.

“Roberts can’t wait to start living it up,” the official book synopsis says. “She may be in L.A. for an internship, but Jane plans to play as hard as she works and has enlisted her BFF Scarlett to join in the fun.”

In the novel, the two main characters are approached by a producer who wants them to be on a reality version of Sexy and the City.

The book is about “what it’s like to come of age in Hollywood while starring in a reality TV show, written by a girl who has experienced it all firsthand,” the synopsis says.

Rihanna’s father Ronald Fenty has spoken exclusively from his home in Barbados about his daughter’s decision to get back with Chris Brown.

Rihanna and Brown are holed up together at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ mansion on Star Island near Miami.

It comes just three weeks after Brown allegedly battered the singer the night before the Grammy Awards on Feb 8.

Fenty says, “I love my daughter with whatever road she takes. I’m behind her win or lose. I will be supportive. If that’s the road she wants to choose, I’m behind her. I hope to see her soon. I talked to her after her birthday, and she told me she’s OK.”

The latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now, reports that Brown reached out to Rihanna on her 21st birthday. “He’s been calling and they are talking,” says a source.

This makes me sad.  No matter how sorry Chris is, he almost killed her!  I am a firm believer of once a cheater, always a cheater.  Once a beater, always a beater.  Maybe I shouldn’t think that way – but how will she ever know he’s not going to actually kill her next time.

Rihanna and Chris Brown have reconciled, Usmagazine.com confirms.

Nearly three weeks after Brown allegedly battered the singer, the couple have got back together. “She’s not listening to anyone,” says a Rihanna pal. “And of course Puff got involved in this.”

The couple is staying together at a house owned by Sean “Diddy” Combs on Star Island near Miami, Florida. Brown has been seen smiling, riding a jet ski, and flexing his arm muscles. Rihanna arrived four days ago, according to a source.

The latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now, reports the pair have recently begun speaking again, and that Brown reached out to Rihanna on her 21st birthday. “He’s been calling and they are talking,” says a source.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles County District Attorney is expected to make a decision soon on whether to charge Brown for the alleged beating on February 8.

In the weeks following the incident, Rihanna has been laying low, spending time in Los Angeles, Mexico and the ultraprivate resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, California.

Rihanna’s pals recently told Us a reconciliation was always a possibility, “It’s not easy to shut off a relationship she invested so much in.”
