We all know Lauren Conrad as the star of MTV’s “The Hills”, but beyond what we see on the show and in gossip magazines, there seems to be a hard working young woman who perhaps we really don’t know. This young woman has developed her own clothing line, the Lauren Conrad Collection and she is also the spokesperson for mark. (the beauty and fashion boutique brand of Avon), all while starring in her own TV Show.
Lauren sat down with YBI for an exclusive interview so we could get a feel for the Lauren that we DON’T “know”. We asked her about the Lauren Conrad Collection, how she balances everything and what’s next for her in 2009!

Susie Castillo landed the title of Miss USA in 2003 and since then has quickly gained success as an MTV Host, the face of Neutrogena, actress and now author. Susie gave YBI an exclusive interview on how pageant life has changed her, why she wrote her book and what she looks for in a makeup artist & hair stylist...
YBI: How did your experience in the Miss USA pageant influence you, as a person and in your career?
SC: My year as Miss USA was incredible! It was, essentially, what launched me into the world I'd been trying to get into for years...the entertainment industry. And it's extremely difficult to break into, so this pageant was my shot. So I worked my butt off, studied footage of past pageants, noticed trends with past winners, practiced my meanest cat walk ;) and tried to do my best to be prepared to win when my time came. And it paid off.

Hard-working isn't even a fair description for this month's Industry Insider. Clinton Sparks is a DJ and Producer who's collaborated with artists such as Akon, Beyonce and P. Diddy, he's also the Music Correspondent for the E! Channel's Daily Ten and hosts a syndicated radio show... among many other things! YBI asked Clinton about his big break and what he has in store for the future...
YBI: When did you start working in the music industry?
CS: I guess I would have to consider getting into the music industry the point when people who were in it knew my name. That being said it would have to be when I got my own mixshow on Hot 97.7 in Boston in 2000.
