Furthermore, my parents could have cared less who these stars were dating or what where they liked to shop.

I'm pretty sure the writer meant that her parents could not have cared less. If they really could have cared less, then what do we care? Unless I'm missing something, the word "what" should be removed for the final part of the sentence to make sense.

When I was growing up in the Northeast, "couldn't care less" and "could care less" were used interchangeably. And as far as I know, they still are. Makes no sense, I know.
