A podcast. Reality show. Countless headlines about her love life. Underneath it all, Kristin Cavallari is a 'very normal' mom.
Kristin Cavallari wants you to know that her new show is '100% real. This is the realest show I've ever done,' she tells me over Zoom. That show — Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour on E! — marks Cavallari's return to reality TV for the first time in five years. Those five years have been busy. Cavallari, 38, got divorced from football star Jay Cutler, 42. in 2022 after announcing their separation in 2020. She's parented the three children — Camden, Jaxon and Saylor — they share. She also launched her podcast, Let's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari, which has continually rocketed to the top of the podcast charts. Earlier this spring, Cavallari embarked on a four-city podcast tour and invited TV cameras along for the ride. Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour is the result. Listening to Let's Be Honest, it seems like nothing is off-limits for Cavallari, who first rose to fame appearing on the MTV reality shows Laguna Beach and The Hills. There is one topic she shies away from, however. 'The only thing that I've really set a boundary around is my ex-husband,' she says of Cutler. 'That's the only thing. I feel like everything else, I've been an open book — probably too much of one.' Speaking of boundaries, the mom of three used to have a strict one around her kids. Until recently, she never showed their faces on social media and they weren't featured on her previous reality show, Very Cavallari. But that's all changed. Now her kids grace her Instagram posts, have joined her podcast and even appear in Honestly Cavallari. Why the change? 'The whole [point] was to let them make that decision when they were old enough," she explains. "And so they are that age.' (Camden is 12; Jaxon is 11; daughter Saylor is 9.) 'It's been nice for me to be able to share that part of my life with people just because my kids are the biggest part of my life,' she adds. Her kids have been asking her to post them 'for years," Cavallari says; her eldest son even asks her to tag him in content. 'I'm like, I'm not tagging you,' she laughs. 'But they love it.' Though her sons have social media accounts, she says she keeps an eye on who they're following and what they're doing online. Cavallari is no stranger to being headline news, but if it were up to her, those headlines would have less to do with the men she's supposedly dating. 'I can't control what the media writes,' she says. 'But I'm talking about a lot of stuff other than men [on my podcast] and that seems to be the only area that they want to focus on.' Though her relationships have been tabloid fodder for over 20 years, she still gets frustrated by it. 'It does piss me off,' she says. 'I have a lot more going on in my life.' In fact, Cavallari tells me she hasn't even gone on one date this year (though in the first episode of Honestly Cavallari, she and her best friend laugh about her night out with actor Glen Powell). And her most recent relationship, with 25-year-old Mark Estes, generated lots of interest. 'I got a lot of hate and I got a lot of praise,' she says of the age-gap relationship. 'Guys do it all the time. But when I do it, everyone's like, Oh my god. Mark was really sweet and we had a very sweet, innocent relationship, and it honestly just worked really well for me at the time. I don't regret that at all.' Dating just isn't a priority right now; between work and mom life, Cavallari doesn't have the bandwidth. "I'm just maxed out in every capacity,' she says. But she does mention that her kids are with her ex-husband every other weekend. How does she use that time? 'Just being at my house without a to-do list really excites me," she says. "I might take my dogs for a walk. I'll probably go to the grocery store.' She looks at her life as being organized in buckets. 'There's my family bucket and my work bucket and a tiny social bucket." She's got a "great work-life balance right now," she adds. "Uncommon James [her jewelry and beauty brand] and the podcast fit very well into my life while they're at school. I hope to just maintain that. I just want to keep things as they are.' But when she does get back into the dating world, she knows what her main ick is. 'When someone has zero accountability,' she says. 'I'm like, I can't go down this road with you.' In the first episode of Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour, the cameras follow the star as she takes care of her kids, makes them dinner and gets ready for her podcast tour. Of her divorce, she tells the cameras, 'I think deep down I knew' that it was coming. But she's staying positive. 'Divorce can be a really good thing,' she continues, and as a single mom, motherhood is her priority. 'I never really felt like I was No. 1 with my parents, so that was always a big deal for me — to make sure my kids know they're a priority.' People would be surprised to see just how ordinary her everyday life is, she tells me. 'I am very normal. I'm at all of the basketball games. I'm on the field trips,' she says. 'I'm basically an Uber driver for my kids.' Her identity as a mom leans more toward the fun side. 'Maybe I could have a few more rules,' she laughs. 'I mean, there are rules, there are boundaries. But for me, it's like, if you're a good person and you're not hurting anyone and you're treating people kindly, I think that's more important than 'you have to go to bed at 9 p.m. every night.'' Of her three kids, she says, Jaxon, is the one who keeps her 'on her toes.' Cavallari has never been shy about ... well, most things, including talking about how her previous stints on reality TV have been less than authentic. "This was the only show I've done where they didn't jump in every five minutes to tell me what to say," she says of Honestly Cavallari: 'So it was a really enjoyable experience. And I'm happy I did it because I can finally say this show is 100% real.' Though it's the headline tour, she wants to take fans beyond the headlines — the ones about her love life, her sassy teen queen image, etc. If that was all you saw of her, she would understand if you didn't like her. 'I would hate me too, I think,' she says.

Netflix just added every season of this super-bingeable mystery thriller show — and you've got 100 episodes to watch now
If there's one thing that always goes down a treat on Netflix, it's a show with a lot of seasons. The streaming service's subscribers love a good binge-watch. So, when I saw that Netflix U.S. recently added 'Blindspot' (on June 7), I was confident it would be a near instant success. And my hunch was correct. Not even 48 hours after 'Blindspot' was added to the platform's library and it's already found its way into the Netflix top 10 most-watched list, currently ranked at No. 9. If 'Blindspot' falls within your own television blindspot, it's an NBC series that debuted in 2015 and ran for five seasons, and a total of 100 episodes. It's also a great binge-watch as each case-of-the-week installment feels satisfying on its own, but all the while, in the background, a larger web of mystery and conspiracy is being spun. It's not exactly reinventing the TV crime drama mold, but it's a show you can consume in great quantities and still crave more. Let's dive into everything you need to know about 'Blindspot' now that it's found its new home on Netflix. 'Blindspot' opens with a beat cop noticing an unattended duffle bag in New York City's iconic Times Square. Calling in the FBI, they are shocked to discover that the luggage contains a naked women with no memories and covered in freshly-inked tattoos. Dubbed Jane Doe (Jaimie Alexander), one of the tattoos points towards FBI agent Kurt Weller (Sullivan Stapleton), who is quickly called in to investigate the situation in the hopes of learning Jane's identity and unraveling the mysteries buried deep within her marked skin. The pair team up and begin hunting for answers, with each tattoo offering up its own set of clues. But as Weller and Jane get closer to uncovering buried secrets, they find themselves in the middle of a sprawling conspiracy, and must face the fact that some truths are hidden further than skin deep. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. As noted, 'Blindspot' debuted in 2015 and didn't conclude until 2020, but even then, it felt like a throwback to highly bingeable 2000s television like 'Lost,' 'Fringe' and 'Bones.' It's one of those crime thriller shows that constantly offers up two types of mysteries: Those that are solved within each 45-minute episode, and those that take an entire season, or even multiple seasons, to unfold. It's a pretty compelling formula that many great television shows have successfully mined, and it will keep you hooked from the first episode until the last. Of course, the biggest unanswered question at first is Jane Doe's identity, and while the show does eventually move beyond this mystery — fortunately, the big reveal of Jane's backstory isn't stretched out across the show's entire run — this central hook is more than enough to get you invested in the first season. The shifting relationship between Jane and Weller is another core pillar of 'Blindspot,' with the pair striking up an uneasy alliance before signs of a will-they-won't-they romance start to blossom. Again, it's pretty textbook stuff, but sometimes you don't need a show to subvert expectations. 'Blindspot' is probably best described as TV junk food. It's simple and predictable but comforting. Unfortunately, like a lot of shows of its ilk, 'Blindspot' does become increasingly outlandish in its latter seasons. The show writers were forced to spin up new mysteries to keep the show going beyond its initial core premise. Its attempts to redefine itself aren't always successful, and things become more than a little bit silly by the end. It gives big "Prison Break" vibes. Nevertheless, 'Blindspot' is a great pick if you want a Netflix show that will keep you occupied for more than a single weekend. It has plenty of throwback charms, even if you'll have to leave some logic at the door. If you're able to suspend your disbelief, it's a worthwhile binge. If you're looking to sink your teeth into a show this week on Netflix, 'Blindspot' is a great pick. It certainly doesn't fall into the prestige TV category, with some ropey production and far from award-worthy performances, but it's got enough satisfying ingredients to keep you engaged. If you're looking to sink your teeth into a show this week on Netflix, "Blindspot' is a great pick. It's a show that belongs to a different era of television in many ways. We're now in an era of sub-10 episode seasons released several years apart, but 'Blindspot' debuted during a time when viewers were served up 20+ episode seasons on a dependable yearly basis. Anybody with a fondness for that period of television will get a real kick out of 'Blindspot's' predictability. And viewers just looking for a show that'll take a while to finish, and one that offers up enough unanswered questions to keep the investment level high, will also find plenty to enjoy. It's certainly not a ground-breaking series, or one concerned with going beyond its familiar genre conventions, but it plays to its intended audience pretty darn well, and that's all it needs to be a success. I have a feeling that 'Blindspot' might stick around among the most-watched series on Netflix for a while, as similar bingeable 2010s shows have found great success in the TV streaming era. And I wouldn't be surprised if over the next few days, it climbs even higher in Netflix's top 10 chart. However, if you consumed 'Blindspot' as it aired on NBC in the 2010s, and are looking for something completely new instead, check out our rundown of everything new added to Netflix this month, including equally binge-worthy original series like 'Sirens' and lots more. Stream "Blindspot" seasons 1-5 on Netflix now
