Lauren and Heidi: The Battle Continues

The raging war between The Hills stars Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag shows no signs of subsiding as the bitter feud continues. The former BFFs are even refusing to be photographed alongside each other, reports Us Weekly.

During the show's first season, Lauren and Heidi appeared the quintessential 'best friends' - inseperable and fun, but their friendship was torn apart during Season 2 when Montag began dating Spencer Pratt, a complete asshole who was jealous that someone (namely, Conrad) could be spending more time with Heidi than he was. Since Montag's departure from the apartment she shared with Conrad to move in with Pratt, the two have hardly spoken.

Audrina Partridge, a fellow The Hills star, tells Us Weekly that the bitterness isn't just a show for the cameras, telling them of a time that she, Conrad, Montag and Pratt coincidentally ended up at hot L.A. nightclub Les Deux on the same night. "They just came right at our table and sat down," she explains. "We were like, 'what are you doing? Get away, this is our table!' But they said, 'this is our night, our friends, get out of here.'"

Despite the end of their friendship, both Conrad and Montag star in the new Season of the Hills.

Confirmed: Laguna Beach Moving to Newport

After months of speculation, MTV's executive vice president of series development and programming Tony DiSanto has confirmed that MTV is relocating its hit reality show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County to the even wealthier coastal community Newport Beach, where the FOX hit series The O.C. was set.

The new show, titled Newport Harbor: The Real Orange County, will debut on August 15 on MTV, just two days after the launch of The Hills season 3, which is based around Laguna series 1 & 2 cast member Lauren "LC" Conrad. One of the new characters, Chrissy, is a senior described as "as smart as she is beautiful", and another, a junior named Clay with a "humble attitude [which] belies his looks".

DiSanto said, "It has been three years since the Stephen, Lauren and Kristin love triangle drew viewers to the real-life drama of Laguna Beach. Now we are moving up the coast to a new town with new faces and a new high school, but with the same drama of dealing with relationships, cliques, family and friends."

Like Laguna, Newport Harbor will focus on the day-to-day lives of its cast and the cameras will follow them to all-new clubs, restaurants, beaches etc. As DiSanto explains, "We'd seen all the locations in Laguna, all the hangouts...Newport offers something new and different. The boating, the coastline, the homes. You have a different flavor when you watch the show."

Alongside the debut of the new season, MTV is launching the online Virtual Newport Harbor - a place where fans can interact, hangout, party and shop with the virtual cast.

In other MTV news, Conrad, who was Laguna Beach's first narrator, returns as star of the third season of spinoff series The Hills on August 13.

Audrina on Heidi's Boob Job

[The Hollywood Gossip] - Audrina Patridge is definitely a part of Team LC on The Hills, but she did have a few words of wisdom about villainous co-star Heidi Montag.

The trusty sidekick of Lauren Conrad was spotted yesterday at an event for Bravo’s new real estate themed reality show, Flipping Out, where she talked briefly about Heidi’s recent plastic surgery.

“If they make her feel good about herself, good for her,” Audrina Patridge said of Montag’s new rack, later adding: “I really don’t care!

When asked about the smarminess that is Spencer Pratt - Heidi’s sniveling, scheming, revolting boyfriend-turned-fiance - Audrina offered the following response: “No comment!”
Very apropos.

With the gruesome twosome out of the picture (or at least in their own apartment), Audrina revealed there will be an addition to The Hills cast this coming season: a boyfriend.
She chose to keep his identity a secret for now, but we can’t help but wonder if it’s Josh McRoberts … or the guy frolicking on the beach LC in those recent bikini pictures.

You can watch Audrina’s talk with TMZ here. Lauren Conrad, Audrina, Whitney Port and the rest of the regulars from The Hills officially return on Monday, August 13.

LB's Jessica Disses Lindsay

In an exclusive interview with 24sizzler.com, convicted-of-DUI Laguna Beach alum Jessica Smith has revealed that she thinks Lindsay Lohan needs "real help". That's right - Jessica, 19, who pled guilty on misdemeanor DUI charges in July, thinks that "she needs to go to a real place to address her problem. The bottom line is she needs help. She keeps messing up."

Ironic, Jessica. Smith, who appeared as the BFF to Kristin Cavallari and Alex Hooser on Laguna (although the trio's friendship is somewhat less now than it was then) also professes that Lohan shouldn't get an easy ride just because she's famous. "I think she deserves whatever she gets," Jessica said. "If she gets off just because she's Lindsay Lohan, that's ridiculous. If someone slaps her on the wrist, and is like, 'oh, you bad girl,' she'll never learn." Unlike you, I'm hoping, Jessica - and rest assured, your application to be a saint is soon to be processed?

Jessica was charged in March after the car she was driving slammed into another, apparently causing 'great bodily injury' to both passengers and drivers of the two cars. She was subsequently sentenced to three years probation and 80 hours of community service, which she maintains she is fine with. "I drank and drove," she admits, "there's no excuse for that. I think anything that I got, and had I said it was unfair, it would be ridiculous, because I did something wrong."

Smith maintains, however, that she's definitely no Lindsay. "My situation is different [from Lindsay's], because it's not like it was my third time. She's just out of rehab and she has an ankle bracelet. I think that's odd. I got 80 hours of community service and I didn't have anything on my record."

And should Lindsay deserve to go to jail, Jess? "I would say sure, but jail is scary. Some people just don't belong in jail. You go crazy in jail. I thought it was unfair that Paris Hilton went to jail." That's odd, because I think I can agree with most of the population who think it was totally fair.

Whilst condemning Lindsay's drink-driving, Smith does, seemingly, feel an ounce of sympathy for Lohan. "I can't imagine what she's going through," she says, "It was embarrassing for me [and] it must have been like 150 times worse for her...she should just ignore what people say."

Jessica also claims she's changed because of her DUI incident, saying, "I barely drink anymore, because if anything was to happen when I was drunk, I would go to jail for 90 days...I learned my lesson...one way to show I've learned my lesson, is to show I've changed."

God Jess, what are you - Jason Wahler?!
