Kristin Cavallari's ample chest almost spills out of a low-cut dress… after dishing on Glen Powell hookup
Kristin Cavallari put on a busty display in a low-cut black dress in new images shared on Wednesday. The Hills reality TV star was going out of her way to show off her surgically enhanced chest that looked bigger than usual. The 38-year-old blonde seemed to almost spill out of the frock as her chest appeared oiled up to accentuate her fresh Malibu tan. Her hair was worn back and she had on cute gold earrings and a chunky watch as well as black strappy criss-cross heels. Kristin was exiting Andy Cohen 's Watch What Happens Live taping in New York City 's Hudson Square. On Thursday the mother-of-three flashed her toned figure in a plunging beige sleeveless top and short shorts with high heels and a YSL purse as she walked in Manhattan. The Uncommon James jewelry designer has been a perennial headline-maker in recent months on her podcase. Her latest reveal was how she had a sexual experience with Top Gun: Maverick actor Glen Powell. Cavallari said she was 'dry humping' the Hollywood superstar after they secretly hooked up on a wild trip to Greece. The diva dropped the bombshell during the premiere episode of her new E! series Honestly Cavallari on Wednesday. The cameras followed her podcast tour including her first stop in Atlanta, where she had a colorful chat with Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak in front of a packed crowd. Kristin's best friend Justin also joined the show, where he eagerly spilled the tea about the single mom's date with A-lister Powell. 'She recently went on a date with... she's gonna be so mad at me, actually, with Glen Powell, and I wanted it to happen so bad!' Justin said as Kristin screamed, 'Justin!' The show then featured a clip from four days earlier with Kristin and Justin explaining that they were, 'partying in Greece ' when Powell, '36, 'literally ran into [her].' Justin joked, 'And then you guys had a really fun night together,' as Kristin admitted, 'I never f***ed him, just putting that out there.' Justin then asked, 'You guys dry humped, though?' After a pause Kristin smiled and said, 'Yeah, we did,' as they both laughed. Back in Atlanta, Kristin told the crowd, 'OK, I have to go on record, when this comes out, I had nothing to f***ing do with it!' She was also asked about the Glen Powell date/dry humping session on Watch What Happens Live after the premiere. She was asked by a virtual fan how she would rate Powell as a kisser on a scale of 1 to 10, but she played coy. 'Oh my God, you guys. I don't know what you're talking about,' she said with a laugh. Cohen then mentioned that she did admit to dry humping Powell on her show, which would lead people to believe that they kissed, but she played coy again. 'Did I say that? Maybe we didn't kiss?' Cavallari said with a laugh, but Cohen asked how good of a dry humper he was, on a scale from 1 to 10. 'I'm not answering this question,' Cavallari said, before admitting that there were 'jeans' involved, but adding, 'I'm not saying too much.' Before the Glen Powell admission, a fan asked how she dates as a single mother of three kids. 'It's been a lot with my kids, in the last year. I now have them a lot more than I did, and so dating, it hasn't been the priority,' Cavallari admitted. 'But in nine years, when my kids are off at college, I'm gonna be all over the world, with all the guys, doing all the things,' she said. The show also opens with a glimpse into Cavallari's home life, revealing her nine-day tour will be the longest she won't be seeing her kids in over a year. 'It's podcast tour week. I'm not gonna see them for nine days, which is... That's a long stretch. We used to do week on, week off. 50-50 custody, but that changed over a year ago,' she said. She also added on WWHL that her kids had been asking her for 'the last couple of years' to post pictures of them on social media and include them in her shows, but she wanted to wait until they were the right age. 'So I've just been waiting for them to be old enough to make the decision. Yes they've been asking me for the last couple of years to post them and all these things. They really wanted to be part of the show,' she said. She added, 'They filmed for two days. I think they're in maybe three scenes. It's very minimal, but they loved it and they had fun. And so, yeah, I'm happy to be able to share that part of my world now.' 'So, this will be the longest that I've gone without seeing them in, like, a year, and that's gonna be hard,' she admitted. 'I think deep down I knew, um, I was very unhappy at that point in my life and really stressed out. And my kids were young, so it's not like they were seeing headlines or anything,' she said of her relationship with ex Jay Cutler. 'But now my kids are 12, 10, and 9, and that's my priority right now. I see little bits of me in all of them, actually. They get all their good qualities from me,' she joked. Cavallari and Cutler were married from 2013 until their split in 2020. Cavallari and Cutler's divorce was finalized in June 2022. She was also briefly linked to country singer Chase Rice in late 2021. That same year, Kristin also addressed rumors that she dated Morgan Wallen. She later confirmed that they did got on a date and claimed that the singer is 'good in bed.' More recently, Kristin dated former NHL star Nate Thompson. Despite the relationship being the 'most honest, pure, amazing' one she's had, Cavallari parted way with Thompson in March because she came to the realization that she 'didn't wanna be in a relationship.' As for Kristin's hot date Glen Powell, the A-list star has been linked to a slew of famous beauties since bursting onto the Hollywood scene in the early 2000s. Powell's first famous girlfriend was Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev, 36. The duo first started dating in early 2017 but their romance fizzled out by that December. Nearly a year after his breakup with Dobrev, Powell moved on with Australian TV host Renee Bargh in 2018.

Actress with a Bradley Cooper connection is unrecognizable in new glam role... can you guess who she is?
This Hollywood star's latest transformation is so good, she's almost impossible to recognize while on set with Nicholas Cage, Christian Bale and Kathryn Hahn. As she transformed into her role as Carol Davis in David O. Russell's upcoming sports drama film Madden, the actress looked straight out of a different era in a glamorous and retro look on Monday. For the role, she sported a voluminous, curly blonde wig, beaded necklaces and a glimmering dress with a 60s inspired print. Her character's wardrobe couldn't be more different from this performer's free-spirited, boho style, which makes identifying her just a bit more challenging. Are you able to recognize this A-lister, whose breakout role was playing Daniel Craig 's love interest in the 2004 film Layer Cake? Hint: Some of her most notable films include Foxcatcher (2014), American Sniper (2014), The Lost City of Z (2016), Live by Night (2016), and American Woman (2018). It's Sienna Miller, of course! This marks the first time she has been seen in character as Carol, who was married to Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis from 1954 until his death in 2011. Rumors that she was in talks for the role were first reported in April by Deadline. While the Raiders are now in Las Vegas, the team has remained in the Davis family since Al passed. Carol is now 95-years-old and is part-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, after inheriting the team from her spouse. Their only child, son Mark Davis, 70, also inherited the organization and is now owner. After the team officially moved to Sin City's Allegiant Stadium, Carol helped christen the venue by lighting the Al Davis Torch Memorial ahead of the Las Vegas Raiders' inaugural game back in 2020. 'There's only one person that can possibly light it, and she's agreed to do it, that's the first lady of the Raider Nation -- my mom,' Mark told ESPN at the time. 'I get chills thinking about it. I get goosebumps thinking about it. Probably tears thinking about it. But there's nobody that could have lit it other than her,' he continued. 'Because it's really a tough time in the country, but also here in Nevada, we don't want to seem that we're celebrating or anything of that nature. But to have my mom light that torch means so much, and I think it will mean a lot for everybody in this valley, so I'm excited.' The biopic boasts an all-star cast, with Cage starring as Madden, Bale playing Al Davis and John Mulaney playing Trip Hawkins, the founder of Electronic Arts. Previously, Will Ferrell and Hugh Jackman were in early negotiations in the role for Madden while Tom Hanks was in discussions for Davis. Principal photography for the film began on April 24, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia.
