Lauren Conrad covers the April issue of Redbook, and I don’t like this cover all that much. It’s mostly because LC’s hair looks totally fried!! LC used to have decent hair so I’m not sure what’s happening here. Anyway, she’s been sort of quiet since getting married last summer, but she talks about her new husband, William Tell, and how he’s the first guy she’s ever wanted to marry. Which is weird, because I’m pretty sure she and Kyle Howard broke up because he wasn’t interested in marriage, but whatever. Some highlights from Redbook:

Do women have to be loud divas to be successful? “Over the last few years I’ve been able to work with several women who I really respected because they didn’t take on that role of being a bitch. They were strong, but they were kind and they didn’t need to shout to be heard. A lot of women feel like they need to be tough in order to be taken seriously. We have this idea that kindness is weakness, which I don’t think is true.”

Meeting William Tell: “[I was] never a person who was obsessed with the idea of marriage.” Lauren says that William is “the first person I ever thought I could marry.”

William Tell is a lawyer: “I watch The Good Wife with him, and he’s like ‘That’s incorrect. You would actually do this…’ It’s a nightmare!”

Whether her kids will do a reality show: “I definitely wouldn’t encourage my child to do reality television.”

LC also says she’s not feeling any pressure to start a family just yet, which sounds about right because she’s just 29 years old. I bet she waits another year or so and when she does get knocked up, her business will expand with TONS of kids’ stuff (although she already has a kids’ line).

Yeah… I know this was sort of boring, but you know what? I do kind of like her. It’s nice to see that at least one person made it out of the reality show system with some kind of grace and business skill. As for LC’s comment about women not needing to be “bitches” to get things done… I see her point. But what if we’re just naturally bitchy and we happen to get things done? There seems to be a presupposition that if a woman comes across as a bitch, then she’s just playing that role to get something done. What if that’s just her personality?
