Is Lauren and Heidi's Feud Staged?

[Hollyscoop] - MTV's hit show 'The Hills' has been getting a lot of heat lately about the authenticity of the show. Star magazine is now reporting that Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag have ended their public feud and they're actually buddy-buddy. The girls were spotted right before Halloween getting in Lauren's black Mercedes. "They were laughing, hugging and being very affectionate with one another," says the source. "There were no MTV cameras around," the source adds. "This seemed like the real deal. I saw Heidi coming to visit Lauren at her apartment without her fiancé Spencer Pratt." So why hide the friendship? Their feud has done wonders for their ratings. In next week's episode Lauren and Heidi meet up 'to talk' and Lauren tells Heidi, "I want to forgive you, and I want to forget you." This feud has even got me hooked on the show this season, but this is the first season I've watched the show. Are you guys already over the drama or is it still a guilty pleasure?
