Kristin Cavallari's X-rated Glen Powell confession
Kristin Cavallari's lips are sealed. The reality star admitted to a steamy Glen Powell hook-up on her Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour premiere on Wednesday — but refused to discuss it on Watch What Happens Live. The Hills alum's BFF, Justin Anderson, called her out over the dalliance during a live Let's Be Honest podcast taping in March, reports Page Six. The hairstylist acknowledged that Cavallari, 38, 'would be so mad' at him for spilling the beans. Nevertheless, Anderson revealed, 'She recently went on a date with … Glen Powell. And I wanted it to happen so badly! 'Top Gun,' bitch!' Cavallari, seemingly shocked, shouted her pal's name. 'OK, I have to go on record,' the 'Laguna Beach' alum added. 'When this comes out, I had nothing to f**king do with it!' In a subsequent confessional, Anderson explained that they had been 'partying in Greece' when, as Cavallari chimed in, Powell 'literally ran into' her. 'You guys had a really fun night together,' Anderson said. When Cavallari was quick to clarify she 'never f**ked' the actor, Anderson interjected to say they 'dry humped' — which she confirmed. The Very Cavallari alum was asked to rate Powell's kissing skills — and, when she wouldn't answer, his dry-humping skills — on WWHL on Wednesday night, but she played coy. 'Did I say [we did] that? Funny how that happens,' Cavallari told host Andy Cohen. 'Maybe we didn't kiss. It's possible. I'm not answering that question.' Powell's rep did not immediately respond to Page Six 's request for comment. Elsewhere in the episode, the Uncommon James creator set the record straight on romance rumours she sparked with Craig Conover in 2021. Cavallari, who stunned in a plunging black dress, confirmed that she dated the Southern Charm star, 36, for 'two seconds' before his three-year relationship with Paige DeSorbo. She broke down the timeline, explaining that she asked Conover to 'just be friends' after seeing a picture of him and the Summer House star, 32, looking 'sort of together.' Cavallari has a star-studded dating roster, with the Let's Be Honest host recently being linked to country singer Morgan Wallen and athlete Nate Thompson. She has also been married to ex-husband Jay Cutler, with whom she shares three children.

Miley Cyrus shades ex Liam Hemsworth with brutal move
Miley Cyrus couldn't help but shade her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, while signing autographs for fans. A fan who shares the same first name as the Hunger Games actor took to X on Wednesday to gush about the singer signing a vinyl copy of her new album, Something Beautiful. 'Miley writing 'the Best Liam' on my vinyl,' the fan wrote, sharing a photo of the vinyl as proof. Cyrus had written the message along the top left-hand corner of the vinyl in black cursive. The fan then posted a picture with the pop star at the singing, captioning it, 'me when I'm the best Liam.' Page Six has reached out to Hemsworth for comment but did not immediately hear back. After dating for over a decade, Hemsworth, 35, and Cyrus, 32, secretly tied the knot in December 2018. However, less than a year later, the Wrecking Ball singer shocked Hollywood and fans alike when she announced they were separating. The Killerman actor proceeded to file for divorce days later, citing 'irreconcilable differences' as the cause of the split. By January 2020, Hemsworth and Cyrus' divorce was finalised. While the former Disney star has remained mum about the demise of their relationship, she called their whirlwind marriage a 'f**king disaster' while performing at Lollapalooza in 2022. 'Honey, I hope your marriage goes better than mine,' Cyrus also told a couple who had gotten engaged during the music festival. 'Mine was a f**king disaster!' The Party in the U.S.A. singer is now dating Liily drummer Maxx Morando, while her ex-husband has been with model Gabriella Brooks since late 2019. The Australian couple made their red carpet debut at the premiere for the actor's movie Poker Face in November 2022.
