Lauren Conrad Talks Fame In Women's Health

Lauren Conrad had to purge some of her insecurities, in exchange for some new ones on her road to success, in this month's edition of Women's Health.

One of those purges first off is how Lauren had to present herself in public, she had to stop twirling her hair because it made her look like an airhead.

Plus, Lauren had to practice her red carpet stance at home in the mirror, so she can look her best at award shows, media events, and movie premieres.

A big to do on Lauren's list of insecurities is facing her critics, or what other people thought of her, as Lauren explains that she cares about what other people think.

However, one of Lauren's friends sat her down asking why she cared about other people's opinions, and Lauren deals with this by having a tatoo saying, "Sticks and Stones".

Lauren also explains that she developed a thick-skin quickly, courtesy of The Hills, and Hollywood, because good friends are hard to find, and Lauren's always being judged, but Lauren uses her previous retail experience and climb up the fashion ladder to keep with the pressure of it all.

Yes, there's an exchange we all must do when transitioning from private life the the face of the public eye, but we don't have to give up everything in order to fit another's image.

Most of the time, it's people wanting you to change because they're not comfortable with themselves, or just want to stick to what they know.

On the other hand, people ask those rising stars like Lauren Conrad to change because it keeps those people on top, and stars like Lauren Conrad down, while others and so-called friends pass by her.

As Lauren's fame rose substantially in 2007, Lauren was getting offers like modeling a runway show for Marc Jacobs, so veterans got extremely mad, in this reporter's opinion.

Lauren is being judged because she got to where she is faster than others, so those angry slavers and veterans become sharks, and are on a mission to destroy anything Lauren Conrad.

Lauren Conrad should stay the course of her goals and dreams, and start going older audiences to give Vera Wang a run for her money, as well as Lauren's young and growing audience.

Kelly Osbourne: Removing Most of Her Tattoos

Kelly Osbourne isn't done reinventing herself!

The slimmed down star -- who recently told Us Weekly about how she's managed to keep off almost 50 pounds after a year -- plans to get most of her 15 tattoos removed.

Osbourne, 25, announced her decision to undergo laser tattoo removal in her weekly column for British magazine Closer (as reported in The Daily Mail.)

She had her revelation recently while shooting the flick Should've Been Romeo, when makeup artists covered up the ink. "I can't say I missed them!" she wrote.

"I met with my dermatologist and I'll start the laser treatment as soon as I have time," the Dancing with the Star alum said.

The erasure process won't be short and painless, either. "It will take several months, and while I'm not looking forward to the pain, I've heard it hurts less than getting the tattoo," Osbourne wrote. "I hope so!"

She doesn't hate all of her tattoos, Osbourne explained. "Some still have a special meaning, like the matching ones my brother Jack and I have of each other's names, but now I feel like some were a mistake."

Last year, Osbourne told British talk show This Morning that getting inked was "my way of self harming, because I really knew it would upset my mum and dad," she admitted of parents Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne.

"I was miserable and I just went and got all these tattoos and I don't know why. One of them is a keyboard and I don't even know how to play a piano!"

She added: "As you get older, you realize that you don't want to be defined by your tattoos, because that's not the type of person that I am."

The Bunny House: That Hurt!

If you missed the E! show “The Bunny House” about the Playmates that really live next door, you’re in luck since it’s re-playing all this week. (Check your local listings.)

In the show, Jayde Nicole has her “Brody” tattoo covered up but it’s in a very painful place. We asked Jayde about that episode:

“This was a great scene to catch on camera, lol it being the second time getting a tattoo on the inside of my lip I kind of knew it was going to hurt. But you can't really scream or complain because then are holding you lip down and you can't move lol. He has one too that says "J N" so I wonder what he is going to change his into . In future episodes I plan on getting more tattoos ;) in interesting ways and places lol."

Lauren Conrad's Tattoo Bid To Beat Bad Press

Lauren Conrad has a reminder that sticks and stones may break her bones, but words will never hurt her – tattooed on her back.

The 23-year-old reality TV star got the words "sticks and stones" permanently marked on her lower back to remind her not to care what people say about her.

Conrad revealed the idea came to her around the time she left The Hills. "Nine months ago, I reached my breaking point," the fashion designer said. "I felt bad about myself because certain people were relentlessly attacking me and my reputation.

"My mum kept saying: 'Let it go, Lauren. It doesn't matter." She continued, "my friend also sat me down and asked: 'Why do you care what people say about you? How does it really affect you at the end of the day?'"

"I couldn't come up with a good answer and I realized I had to stop worrying about what other people think and the next day, I got a tattoo on my lower back that says 'sticks and stones' because they may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.

"Once I let go of that, I felt more confident about myself. And that made my decision to leave The Hills pretty easy."
