Audrina Patridge and Lauren Conrad


As one of the web’s leading purveyors of The Hills gossip, we admittedly weren’t too crazy about Audrina Patridge when we first got to know her. We pegged her for a Kristin Cavallari-like alpha girl - not a positive presence in LC’s life.

We thought she wasn’t being too genuine at times, and wasn’t super nice to Lauren Conrad. But in Season 2, the two got to be pretty close friends, with Audrina even moving into her apartment during The Hills season finale.
Here, they’re seen at the Celebrity Grand Slam Paddle Jam, an event that drew many hip young stars together. It’s cool that Audrina Patridge and LC seem to be building a real friendship.
As for Lauren’s ex-BFF and roomie, Heidi Montag, she wasn’t there. Not sure where she was instead, but it probably involved staged, nauseating pictures with boyfriend Spencer Pratt.

Yeah. The Hollywood Gossip thinks Lauren is better off with Audrina and her other pals, such as Whitney Port and the possibly-engaged Katie Cassidy, than with Ms. Montag.
