The Hills' Brody and Lauren Get His Folks' Blessing

Eat your hearts out, Spencer and Heidi — costars Brody Jenner and Lauren Conrad are stealing the spotlight, and they haven't even rehooked up yet. The playboy's dad, Olympian Bruce Jenner, tells People he thinks "Lauren would be very good" for his son. And the celebubrat's mom, Linda Thompson, agrees. "When I kissed [Brody] on his birthday," Conrad shares, "[his mom] gave him the double thumbs [up]. I almost died!" And they say microcalculated publicity-stunt romance is dead. — Ben Katner
