Whitney Port for Cosmopolitan May 2009

MTV star Whitney Port covers Cosmopolitan May 2009.

The colors of the cover are shades of bright orange.

She arrived for the Cosmopolitan interview looking totally stylish, wearing blue velvet leggings, a boucle Mossimo cardigan, and casual chestnut brown Diesel shoes.

She talked about guys, her friends and what life is really like when the camera’s is off.

On co-star Olivia Palermo:

Olivia kind of mothers me and looks at me as a pet project, but I’m like ‘I’m not some country bumpkin–I’m from Los Angeles!”

On the compressions of being a reality star:

I break down a couple of times a week, at least. It gets overwhelming. Sometimes I think that I can’t take this anymore. I just want to live a normal life.”

According to Adam DiVello, creator and executive producer of MTV’s The Hills and The City, her easy-going pleasant nature was a major factor in his giving Whitney, 24, her personal reality series.
