Kelly Cutrone uses three words to describe Lauren Conrad and TALENTED ain't one of them!

Kelly Cutrone isn't one to mince words, and she certainly didn't hold back during her Reddit AMA on Tuesday. Even though she recently swung by HuffPost to tell us that she wouldn't take back her Kanye diss and that it is possible to make money in fashion, Cutrone had a LOT left to say.
It's impossible to pick out the one best thing Cutrone said, so here are the 11 best things we learned:
1. She's still friends with Whit.
Turns out Cutrone not only stays in touch with Whitney Port, but is also good friends with her family.

2. Cutrone is not friends with Bravo.
After making big waves on MTV, Cutrone felt that she had no control over her Bravo show. Instead, she's returning to TV on the CW with The Kelly Cutrone Project on September 6.
3. Lauren Conrad didn't totally work for her.
Everyone pretty much assumed that MTV made Cutrone hire Lauren Conrad, but we found out that Lauren didn't even work for her full time! Apparently, Conrad was a "sweet and diligent and funny" employee though. Oh, Laur.
4. Being on "The Hills" was the easiest job she's ever had.
Cutrone doesn't regret being on "The Hills" one bit. As she wrote, "I liked being on 'The Hills'. It's one of the easiest jobs I have ever had in my life. I wish every day could be 'The Hills' day! How hard is it to go to work and yell at Roxy? It's not that hard!"
5. The best advice she's ever gotten is of course pretty damn good.
"When things go really really bad - life is going to have its way with you no matter who you are - and when things get really really bad, that's the time to stand up and keep going, and to push, not to fall down or run away. That is the most important thing."
6. She plays the "voice of reason" on "America's Next Top Model".
Cutrone said that she does play a role on "ANTM", and it's a combination of "industry voice" and "the voice of reason." She also gave us some more sage advice on TV shows: "...There's an old joke in the TV industry - the bitch on TV is the nice one in real life, and the nice one on TV is a bitch in real life." WOW.

7. A few people are more ruthless than Cutrone and her famous tagline.
After famously saying "If you have to cry, go outside," Cutrone said that the motto comes from her own experiences of getting upset in PR and having to walk outside to have a moment. Cutrone also said that while she loves Lean In by Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook is actually "far more ruthless" than she is!
8. You shouldn't listen to your parents.
As harsh as it may seem, Cutrone has a good point. When it comes to making major life decisions -- like what to major in in college or what to pursue as a career -- no one else can make that decision for you.
9. LA is more fashionable than you think.
The "most overlooked city for fashion" is LA, which is a "compliment and a diss at the same time," Cutrone said.
10. But fashion is WAY more cutthroat than TV will tell you.
"It's worse. Trust me when I tell you." We believe you, Kelly!
11. And last but not least -- tenacity will get you everywhere.
At least in PR. Tenacity is "the best quality in a publicist."

Kelly Cutrone talks the HILLS!

Viewers of "The Hills" have been debating whether or not the MTV reality series was scripted ever since it first premiered. Surprisingly, years after its 2010 finale and in spite of several outward remarks from cast members, the answer is still nebulous.
Fashion publicist and semi-notorious truth-teller Kelly Cutrone shed some light on this existential question in a HuffPost Live interview on Wednesday when a commenter came forth and asked if MTV "forced" her to "hire those girls from that 'Laguna Beach' TV show," referring to the series that spun off to become "The Hills."
"Well...yes," the 48-year-old "America's Next Top Model" judge retorted, without ambivalence.
"They didn't force me," she laughed, "but they hired me to be on that show, and the other people they hired to be on the show were those girls from that 'Laguna Beach' show."
While she noticeably didn't mention Lauren Conrad, she said that to this day she still "loves" Whitney and Audrina. And that for those who are interested in watching an actual reality show, her 2010 Bravo TV series "Kell On Earth" fits the bill.
"'Kell On Earth'.. was actually really real," she said, although they "didn't make the show" she wanted to make.
"It was really more the producers than me," she added. "They wanted to talk about the printer being broken all day."

KELLY CUTRONE talks LC and the HILLS!

In a mediabistro.com interview today, People's Revolution chief and Whitney Port's boss Kelly Cutrone accomplishes what the New Yorker and the the New York Times have thus far been unable to do: Offer an intelligent explanation as to why people watch The Hills.
Talking about her inability to keep her six-year-old daughter off the Disney princess crap, Cutrone says the Hills are the next progression after princesses, Miley Cyrus, and High School Musical. "Their next installation is, guess what, The Hills. And they're just old enough to start watching MTV, they're hormonally in place, and they see these four young, beautiful girls who really in my mind are a continuation of a Disney princess, because they live in a world that most people will never live in."
She also offers her thoughts on why adults watch the show (we bow our heads in shame). Says Cutrone: "You pick up the extra market of people who do live in that world who want to see themselves reflected back, like the fashion and entertainment people who kind of watch it like it's something like they can't really believe that they're watching, but they are watching and they're enthralled because they can't believe they're watching what they're watching but they're also narcissistic because they see their own world reflected back to them." Yes, heavy.
Then there's the Lauren Conrad stuff, how she got her act together from the time at the 2006 Los Angeles Fashion Week when Conrad "didn't move fast enough" to Cutrone hiring her a year and a half later. In all, it's something worth checking out. At the very least, it's helped grow our current crush on the Hills' newest star.
