Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari

A friend of Cavallari, who knew the couple socially, says the Chicago Bears quarterback made things difficult for his former fianc�e prior to calling off their engagement.
"Jay Cutler was beyond controlling and didn't really like Kristin to go out," the friend says. "When she did go out, he called all the time and demanded to know exactly where she was going and who she was with."
The friend adds: "He made her choose between him and being friends with a lot of her girlfriends. I'm not surprised it didn't last."
Cavallari, 24, and Cutler, 28, were first linked last summer. The former Hills star had been planning a wedding for next spring, and is said to be "absolutely devastated" by the end of her relationship.

The Norwegian man accused of killing at least 93 people in a shooting and car bomb will appear in court today - and is expected to give his reasons for the twin attacks.
Anders Behring Breivik, 32, has admitted to police that he carried out the shooting on the island of Utoya and the car bomb in central Oslo, but denies any criminal responsibility.
Calling himself a crusader against a tide of Islam, Breivik produced a 1,500 "terrorist manifesto" and appears to want a public platform to explain his actions.
His lawyer Geir Lippestad said: "He has been politically active and found out himself that he did not succeed with usual political tools and so resorted to violence."
"I await a medical assessment of him," he said.
"He explains himself fairly calmly, but every now and then expresses emotion," Mr Lippestad said.
"He buries his head in his hands."
"He has said that he believed the actions were atrocious, but that in his head they were necessary," he said, adding his client did not feel he deserved punishment.
One report in Norway has suggested police could apply for the court hearing to be held behind closed doors.
However, Liv Corneliussen, a police prosecutor, said: "It's up to the judge to decide.
"It's not uncommon that the police will ask for it in advance but I don't know if the police will ask for that."�
Sky's Alistair Bunkall, in Oslo, said: "Immigration has happened quickly in Norway and it's changed the demographic.
"The far right argue that they have no mainstream political representation.
"We spoke to one activist who met Breivik and describes him as a megalomaniac.
"'His sinister motives he kept to himself,' he told me.
"I also asked him if Breivik had any allies in Norway.
"'No, I've never heard anyone voice an opinion to that effect,' was the answer."
The death toll from both attacks hit 93 as one of the people injured in the shooting on Utoya island died in hospital.
The chief surgeon at a hospital treating victims of the camp attack has said the killer used special "dum-dum" bullets, which are designed to disintegrate inside the body and cause maximum damage.
Police said they had no other suspects following Friday's tragedy, which started when Breivik allegedly set off a car bomb at government headquarters in Oslo, killing at least seven people and injuring 30 more.
Then, 90 minutes later, he opened fire on hundreds of teenagers assembled for the Labour Party's annual youth camp on the island of Utoya . That attack has left at least 86 people dead and more than 60 wounded.
Police say four or five people are still missing after the youth camp massacre and they fear the final death toll could reach 98.
Meanwhile, British police experts have been drafted in to help probe any links Breivik may have with European far-right organisations.

Convicted killer Amanda Knox's appeal resumes today with her confidence rising that their may be "light at the end of the tunnel" following an explosive new DNA report.
Knox , 24, is serving 26 years for the brutal sex murder of British student Meredith Kercher, 21, who was found semi naked and with her throat slashed in her bedroom of the house they shared.
However, in recent months there has been growing disquiet regarding the verdict amid suggestions of a bungled forensic investigation with police and prosecutors pushing at all costs for a conviction.
Knox's best friend Madison Paxton said: "I saw her in prison a few days ago and she was confident. There is light at the end of the tunnel especially since the new DNA report.
"It feels different this time, with people willing to listen and she is really hopeful."
Key to her conviction in December 2009 was DNA evidence presented in her trial which said that genetic material from her had been found on the handle of a 30cm kitchen knife thought to be the murder weapon.
It was discovered in the kitchen of her co-accused and former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, 26, who was given 25 years for the murder. DNA from Meredith was said to have been on the blade.
In Sollecito's case, his DNA was said to have been found on Meredith's bloodied bra clasp but this was not recovered from the scene until six weeks after she died and video footage showed it had also been moved.
As a result, defence lawyers for both in the original trial argued that the evidence was contaminated and flawed and should not have been used. An initial request for a review was rejected.
Earlier this year appeal judge Claudio Pratillo Hellman agreed to a fresh request and two independent experts, Carla Vecchiotti and Stefano Conti from Rome's La Sapienza university, were appointed to examine the evidence.
Last month their explosive report was leaked and they ruled that it was ''not certain that DNA from Meredith was on the knife'' and that ''contamination on the bra clasp could not be excluded".
They added: "It cannot be excluded that the results obtained may have been derived from ambient contamination or during the handling of the evidence.
"With regard to the bra clasp we believe that the results are not reliable because scientific elements do not exist which can rule out the possibility of contamination from elsewhere."
The experts also stressed that "international standards of searching for and gathering evidence were not followed with regard to the knife and the bra clasp".
With regard to the knife the experts said that the DNA provided a "low copy number" and that "due care and caution should then have been used in attributing the result to Meredith Kercher, although we agree with the findings that the genetic evidence on the handle is Knox's".
Miss Paxton, who has moved from Knox's hometown of Seattle to be near her, added: "We are hopeful but at the same time we are scared because we know the prosecution will throw something in, another wild accusation.
"We are anticipating something from them, they seem to be going out of their way to keep two innocent people in jail but we are hoping the judge and jury see the report for what it is.
"Amanda has started thinking about finally going home - we have even been talking about apartments we are going to get together but there will be no celebrations until she is free.
"We just want the court to see that a mistake was made and even though she and Raffaele were convicted they are both innocent. It would be great if we even got an apology but I doubt we will."
University of Leeds student Meredith from Coulsdon, Surrey, was discovered with her throat cut in November 2007, in the hilltop town of Perugia, just two months after she arrived in Italy during her year abroad.
A third defendant, drug dealer Rudy Guede, an immigrant from the Ivory Coast, was also jailed in connection with the brutal killing.
He was handed a 30-year sentence for murder and sexual violence following a fast-track trial in October 2008 which was later cut to 16 years.
A final decision on the appeal is expected at the end of September.

Producers debuted the first photos of Stewart, as an armoured, sword-wielding Snow White, and Theron, as the Evil Queen, at Comic-Con in San Diego, California during a panel discussion with co-stars Chris Hemsworth (The Huntsman) and Sam Claflin (Prince Charming).
The two leading ladies played up their onscreen rivalry when they appeared before fans, with Oscar winner Theron throwing a few jabs at the Twilight star.
The South African actress admitted she had yet to spend much time with Stewart, but had a feeling she was going to "give me a run for my money".
She added, "And I'm ready for it b**ch, let's go!"
Theron went on to outline her plans for the Evil Queen's character and warned Stewart to "watch out".
She said, "It's important to me to really understand... where she came from and what drives her to get to where she is. It won't be the Evil Queen who (just) shows up evil. There's going to be a lot of circumstances that bleed into her action. I don't want to just be evil.
"And trust me, she's dark. She's a serial killer. I'm pretty much preparing to play a serial killer. I'm trying to ground it and make it something real. Watch out, Kristen."
Producer Joe Roth also touched on the rival Snow White picture currently in the works, starring Lilly Collins in the lead role, and insisted his project would challenge the traditional fairytale as a "tough, rough, active male-female picture".
He said, "Our movie is on the scale of The Lord of the Rings, in terms of size, scope and appetite. From the pictures, the other (adaptation) looks like a softer version."
Snow White and the Huntsman is due to begin production next month (Aug11) and is scheduled for release in June, 2012.
LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Talk about a star-packed resume! I was checking out the list of celebrities hair stylist Oribe has worked with and it?s so many that it fills an entire page!
There are more than 100 stars on that list? everyone from Beyonce to Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie, Halle Berry, Jennifer Aniston, Scarlett Johansson. He did January Jones? hair for her May W Magazine cover and Penelope Cruz for her June Vogue cover. Phew! He?s one busy guy!
Every one of these ladies has to-die-for hair, so who better to give advice for keeping our hair healthy-looking during the brutal summer months?
Here are Oribe?s tips and product recommendations:
?When you?re going into a swimming pool or heading to the beach, especially if your hair is colored, it?s all about coating your hair. A leave-in moisturizer, like my Supershine Moisturizing Cream, is a great product to run through your hair before getting in the water. Use enough to coat the entire hair shaft ? that could be a quarter-size amount or a bit more for most people. Remember that when you go into the water, some of the product will rinse out, but the key is to get a base level of protection to shield your hair from damaging UV rays, salt water and chlorine.?
?Chlorine, of course, can have a very negative effect on hair, especially for blondes. If you go swimming a lot, try coating your hair with a thicker product, like my Original Pomade, which will stay in longer as you swim.?
?Don?t worry about your hair too much, though - enjoy the summer! The beach can do beautiful things to your hair, and the sun can play with your color in very interesting ways. After you go swimming in the ocean, it?s nice to rinse your hair out to prevent your scalp from getting itchy, but if you like to keep that wonderful beachy texture, then you can encourage it with products. I have a great wave- and shine-enhancing product coming out soon that?ll be perfect for the textured look, but will add healthy moisture and shine.?

Celebrity David Hasselhoff, right, trades places with David Hasselhoff Jr. of Lake Jackson, Texas, on the season premiere of "Same Name."
It should come as no surprise that CBS has put "Same Name" (9 p.m. Sunday, KDKA-TV) in the "Undercover Boss" time slot. They're pretty similar shows.
Instead of a boss posing as an employee, a celebrity trades places with one of us regular people who happen to share the same name as the celebrity. In the premiere, "Baywatch" star David Hasselhoff met David Hasselhoff Jr., a power technician from Lake Jackson, Texas.
What followed was pretty much what you would have expected. "Baywatch" Hasselhoff eats hamburger (ha-ha) with the Texas family while Texas Hasselhoff flies off in a private jet to live in the star's mansion for four days.
Hollywood Hoff is exhausted by regular Hasselhoff's chores and job. Texas Hasselhoff is stunned by taking the dog for a massage, getting yelled at by a personal trainer and meeting Hoff's agent.
The show hits on all the expected tropes, most notably the life of the wealthy vs. the life of a regular person. The regular folks are down to earth like the rest of us viewers; the wealthy people live a completely different life, but Hick Hoff learns that Hoff's life is complicated and busy even though he's got a ton of money. Hollywood Hoff is shocked by how neighborly folks are in Texas; he doesn't even know his Los Angeles neighbors.
"I realize I need family to keep me grounded," Hollywood Hoff confesses.
Hick Hoff learns celebrities face pressure, too. Mawkish, constructed life lessons all around!
The show is overly produced as too many shows of this type are, like the scene when Hollywood Hoff is awoken in the middle of the night to give a bottle to Texas Hoff's baby. And in the end, there's a gift given to the Texas family after Hollywood Hoff marvels, "They are working hard for a living just to make ends meet!"
"Same Name" is a show made for people who live and breathe E! and TMZ.com. Cynics need not tune in.
Future celebrities featured will include Mike Tyson, Kathy Griffin and Reggie Bush.
