Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard have moved in together, but you wouldn't know it by the way they acted last night!

Kristen was hosting a Maxim party for Assassin's Creed II at Voyeur but walked the red carpet without her funnyman.

Could it be because Dax has no game? "He doesn't play video games," Kristen told E! News. "He doesn't have the motor skills!"

Even inside the bash her beau kept his distance.

"They were on opposite ends of the room," a partyer says, noting Kristen's man also refused to take any photos with her. Some boyfriend!

Also rolling without his significant other at the soirée was Kourtney Kardashian's baby daddy...

Brody Jenner isn't worried that his ex-girlfriend Kristin Cavallari called him boring in bed.

The new queen be-yotch on The Hills called sex with Jenner "vanilla" in a trailer for the new season and told us he didn't do anything "outside the box."

"I laugh at that, and you'll laugh too once you see the rest of the season," he told me at the Hollywood Style Awards last night. "I take the high road, but she was obviously just bitter about something."

We'll have to watch and see what exactly she's bitter about, but clearly, there's no bad blood between Brody and former fling Lauren Conrad.

L.C. presented Brody with the Young Hollywood Stylemaker Award and had a cozy dinner with him after the event at STK.

So where was his girlfriend, Jayde Nicole?

Brody said his lady was back home, celebrating Canadian Thanksgiving with her family.

He had no comment on the drink-throwing/hair-pulling incident between her and Joe Francis at Guys and Dolls back in August.

Lauren Conrad is out of Kitson and into Kohl's.

When she first debuted an overpriced fashion line, it quickly fizzled. Now she's back with L.C. by Lauren Conrad, which retails at Kohl's.

Last night, she feted the launch of her latest line with a party—not at the department-store chain, but on Melrose Place.

While she walked the carpet solo, her boyfriend, actor Kyle Howard, was by her side inside the soiree. The couple was careful not to get photographed together, though.

One former fling missing from the bash?

Lauren Conrad isn't setting her TiVo for former roommate Audrina Patridge's spinoff show.

"I don't like to watch people I know on TV...it's weird," she told me last night at Alice + Olivia's fall preview party. "Even friends of mine that are actors, I don't like to watch their shows. There's just something weird about it."

So maybe she doesn't watch her actor boyfriend Kyle Howard, either, who Lauren confirmed she's still seeing.

Another show she won't be tuning into? The Hills...

Eva Longoria Parker and Lauren Conrad aren't afraid to show a little leg.

Both stars donned nude sparkly shift dresses that look very similar, but are actually from different designers.

Eva's long-sleeve one is by Blue Marine, while L.C.'s sleeveless number is a 3.1 Phillip Lim.

They also opted for different hairdos with their dresses. Eva sported some serious extensions with her look, but Lauren went for a shorter, curly, pinned-up style.

Who do you think rocked the frock best? Sound off below.

Lauren Conrad narrowly missed out on a chance to say farewell to her nemesis, Spencer Pratt, at Star Magazine's Young Hollywood party at Apple Lounge Wednesday night.

Spencer was there with faux wife Heidi Montag, who said she's releasing a new album soon and using actual professionals to shoot the videos instead of her boyfriend. But as soon as the two finished interviews on the carpet, they left the party.

Of course, not before Spencer had a chance to sound off on L.C.'s upcoming departure from The Hills.

The reality-TV troublemaker says he's really going to miss Conrad: "I'm actually very depressed," he told me of her departure. "Who am I gonna beef out with? I gotta find some new enemy on the show."

So how did Lauren and BFF Lo Bosworth avoid this awkward run-in?

Barbie may be a plastic doll, but she knows how to throw a party!

A slew of celebrities, including Heidi Klum, Ginnifer Goodwin, Lauren Conrad and Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, hit Barbie's 50th birthday bash at a beachside Malibu mansion last night. 

"I hope that with 50 I look as good as Barbie does," Heidi joked on the pink carpet. But would the supermodel ever consider plastic surgery as she gets older?

"I don't think I'm gonna go there," said the gorgeous 35-year-old German. "I think I'm gonna get older with wrinkles, a few of them here and there."

Which stars said they would go under the knife?

Lauren Conrad is done with reality television...for now, at least.

"Reality?TV, as in a show like The Hills? I don't think I could do it," Lauren confessed at Barbie's 50th birthday bash in Malibu. "Never say never, but at this point I think I'm ready to step away and do my own thing."

She just finished filming last week, but said she's been as busy as ever since cameras stopped rolling.

So what will she miss least about doing the hit MTV show...and will her roomie Lo Bosworth be leaving the show, too?

Lo Bosworth has another job besides being Lauren Conrad's sidekick and the voice of common sense on The Hills. The UCLA grad is now writing about L.A. hot spots for Pocket Change, a lifestyle website.

Lo and I hit new Hollywood club MyHouse on Friday night to check out the latest L.A. nightlife offering and to talk about what's coming up on The Hills.

The reality star says L.C.'s latest boyfriend, Kyle Howard, has her seal of approval. "I really like Kyle," she said of her roomie's new man. "He's a good guy."
