Emma Watson Counts Kardashians as Inspiration for Bling Ring Role
Originally posted 05/16/2013 01:15PM
Believe it or not, Emma Watson considers the Kardashians an inspiration.
In Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring, Watson, 23, plays an L.A. teenager who becomes part of a criminal gang, and the actress says she has Kourtney, Kim, Khloe and a few other reality TV stars to thank for helping her perfect the role.
"I watched a lot of Keeping up with the Kardashians and The Hills, and I tried to understand the psychology of this kind of girl as much as possible," Watson told reporters at Cannes. "I didn't want her to be just a parody. The accent was hard as it was a particular kind of dialect. I also thought a lot about what her parents must have been like."
Though it's inspired by true events, Watson says the film's more than a crime movie.

Kristin Cavallari: I Was 'Acting' on The Hills

Real or fake?
Two and a half years after its finale, it's a question that still dogs MTV's The Hills. And now, just weeks after Lauren Conrad claimed much of the show was essentially true, Kristin Cavallari has said almost the opposite.
The show was "pretty fake," Cavallari, 25, said Monday on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live.
"Did they tell you what to say and stuff?" host Andy Cohen replied. "Pretty much," said Cavallari. "Fake relationships, fake fights ... but it was fun, 'cause you're acting. And that was more fun for me."

Lauren Conrad: Most of The Hills Was Actually True
Originally posted 10/16/2012 10:20AM
By the time Kristin Cavallari joined The Hills, the show's plots may have been highly exaggerated, but when Lauren Conrad was still on, she says much of it was actually real.
"I think the story they told wasn't a dishonest one," Conrad, 26, tells Allure in its November cover story. "The way they did it sometimes was. They aren't going to be there for everything. Sometimes two of their main characters will get into a fight, and that's important to the story line. The [producers] need that reenacted."
One true plot was a romance with Brody Jenner.
