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.

ECB cuts rates again but pause seen ahead
President Christine Lagarde said the European Central Bank was in a "good place" to deal with global uncertainty as it cut interest rates again Thursday, fuelling expectations it might soon hit pause after a lengthy easing cycle. The ECB cut its key deposit rate a quarter point to two percent, as widely expected, its seventh consecutive reduction and eighth since June last year when it began lowering borrowing costs. It also lowered its inflation forecast, with the indicator now expected to hit the central bank's two-percent target this year, as US President Donald Trump's tariff blitz exerts downward pressure on prices. As inflation has stabilised following a post-pandemic surge, the ECB has shifted its focus to dialling back borrowing costs to relieve pressure on the 20 countries that use the euro. Trump's tariffs have added to the uncertain outlook, with Europe firmly in his crosshairs, fuelling fears about a heavy hit to the continent's exporters. But Lagarde struck a measured tone. While the US trade war was causing problems, she noted signs of growing strength in the eurozone economy as well as a potential future boost from plans for greater infrastructure and defence spending. She refused to comment directly about whether the ECB would pause its cuts at its next meeting in July, as some expect, but she stressed repeatedly that the central bank was in a "good place". "We are in a good position to navigate the uncertain conditions that will be coming up," she said. "I think we are getting to the end of a monetary policy cycle," she added. The ECB left its growth forecast for 2025 unchanged at 0.9 percent, and also noted inflation was now around its two-percent target -- dropping previous language that it was "on track". Eurozone inflation came in at 1.9 percent in May. - 'Summer pause' - ING bank analyst Carsten Brzeski said Lagarde's comments signalled a "summer pause" to its rate cuts. "It will take a bit longer to understand whether the current disinflationary risks are merely one-offs or whether they signal a broader trend," he said. But he added he expected one more cut from the central bank this year, likely in September. The ECB's series of cuts stands in contrast to the US Federal Reserve, which has kept rates on hold recently amid fears that Trump's levies could stoke inflation in the world's top economy. Lagarde also knocked back suggestions she could cut her term short following reports she had discussed taking the helm of the World Economic Forum. "I have always been and I'm fully determined to deliver on my mission and I'm determined to complete my term," she said. - Trump tariffs blitz - Trump, who argues his tariffs will bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States, has already hit the EU with multiple waves of levies. The bloc currently faces a 10-percent "baseline" tariff as well as higher duties on specific sectors. He has paused even higher rates on the EU and other trading partners to allow for talks, but he continues to launch fresh salvos that are keeping the world on edge. This week he doubled tariffs on aluminium and steel from 25 to 50 percent and last month threatened the EU with an escalation if it did not negotiate a swift deal. Trump's tariffs are expected to exert downward pressure on eurozone consumer prices, and Lagarde conceded the inflation outlook was "more uncertain than usual". This is due to factors including tariff-hit China redirecting inexpensive manufactured goods to Europe, recent strengthening of the euro and potentially lower energy prices. Lower inflation and still tepid growth should push the ECB to make further rate cuts. There are some factors that make this uncertain though. These include signs of resilience in the eurozone economy at the start of the year and a potentially inflationary spending blitz planned by the new German government.
