Heidi Never Liked Her Engagement Ring

Whilst she may have never resolved her long-running feud with ex-BFF Lauren Conrad, there is one person who Heidi Montag seems to have taken back - Hills co-star, boyfriend and now ex-fiancé Spencer Pratt. During the Season Finalé recently, we saw the couple have a huge argument - and Heidi was spotted numerous times afterwards not wearing her engagement ring.

But - it looks like they're back on. Heidi, 21, told Us Weekly, "We're just going back to being boyfriend and girlfriend." And Pratt seems happy about this set-up, too, even though Heidi's called off the engagement. "I need to accept that Heidi wants her princess wedding and that she is the boss," and he added that going back to dating was fine because that was the time that "our relationship was flawless."

Fans thought it was all over for 'Speidi' when Heidi moved out of the apartment she shared with Pratt and headed to Colorado to spend some time with her family. At the live after-party, Montag arrived solo and wasn't wearing the engagement ring she was given by Spencer. Instead, she said, "It wasn't my dream ring. I don't like what it represents. I might sell it."

We bet Spencer's pleased!

Kristin Talks Prom Dresses

[People.com] - Though it's the dead of winter, beach babe Kristin Cavallari is helping the next generation of Prom Queens get ready for their big Spring flings.

In a six-page spread for Teen's prom issue, the former Laguna Beach star models potential prom night styles while waxing nostalgic about her past five once-in-a-lifetime events. (Yes, she attended five different proms!)

Of course, as the star of one of MTV's hottest reality shows ever, Cavallari has the supreme keepsake to remember the special event. "It's really cool to have my prom on tape, especially edited by MTV in such a cool way with the best music. That's priceless," she tells the magazine.

Not that she hasn't been savoring the rest of her life, but she was especially fond of her prom experiences: "Prom was the one night where I didn't feel like I had to act a certain way. I thought, 'This is my prom. I don't want to hold back.' I just wanted to enjoy it and have fun."

And who was her best prom date ever? She names her former costar Stephen Colletti as her fave.

As for advice for girls still looking forward to their big night, she advises them to think about doing their own styling. "I used to get it done at a salon and they just piled so much on. I got to a point where I just did my hair and makeup myself and I liked it so much better," she says.

Kristin Cavallari Resurfaces

[People.com] - Kristin Cavallari, getting back out into the public eye – perhaps in preparation for her buzzed about stint on The Hills? – and heading for lunch at West Hollywood eatery Café Med in West Hollywood.

Lauren's New Year Kiss

Lauren Conrad and Audrina Partridge, starlets of MTV's The Hills, helped ring in the New Year at a San Diego party on Tuesday night. They reportedly were paid around $20,000 each to host the huge party held at the McClellan-Palomar Airport, where they also partied with good friend Lauren 'Lo' Bosworth.

Just two days after Lauren was spotted making out with her ex, Laguna Beach-er Stephen Colletti, she was caught kissing a mystery male as the duo left the party. She also looked to be in tears as she walked out. Meanwhile, Audrina left the party with some extra baggage - an older man hanging off her arm!

Heidi Sucks Up to Lauren and Gets a New Year's Resolution

Heidi Montag seems to be busying herself recently, noticeably without boyfriend Spencer Pratt. She showed off her new plumped lips - see image - and has reached out to ex-BFF turned enemy Lauren Conrad via her MySpace page. It appears she's ready to brush things under the carpet and move on.

"I just hope everyone is starting 2008 with a fresh clean slate," she writes, "like I am...the past is the past...and it is time for people to move on from negative influences in their lives and be more positive! I know at least I am going to try as hard as possible even when people don't deserve kindness...I am still going to give them kindness! Also people should try not to judge other people in 2008!"

Oh, Heidi. How sweet of you. Really. She also promised she'd "stay way more in-touch with [her] MySpace friends that are so loving and supportive. I will be trying to answer all my messages this year and respond to all questions!"

Montag failed to mention Pratt, with whom she recently called off her engagement. Finally, Heidi wished all her friends (virtual and hopefully non-virtual) "a healthy, safe, loving, amazing, blessed New Year!"

You too Heidi. Let's hope it's Spencer-free too!

Lauren Makes Out With Stephen!

When we last saw Lauren Conrad kiss a guy, it was during an awkward goodbye with on-off-will they-won't they "good friend" Brody Jenner in the season finalé of The Hills. And since then, they've both confirmed they're not together. So it's no surprise she's getting a little cosy with other guys, namely former flame and fellow Laguna Beach alum Stephen Colletti (who's recently split with Heroes hottie Hayden Panettiere). According to Us Weekly, Colletti, who VJs on MTV, arrived at LA club Central on Saturday with Conrad and the twosome were 'immediately' appearing intimate.

After talking and flirting on the dancefloor, Stephen carried Lauren to the bar and they made out. It follows stories that Kristin Cavallari, another Laguna breakout lady and Colletti's ex long-term girlfriend, would feature on the next season of The Hills. If Stephen's back in Lauren's life, then that can only mean one thing - drama!

Kristin Might Be Joining 'The Hills'!

[E! Online] - Sources tell me that Kristin Cavallari—you know, the OG Laguna Beach girl—might be coming back to the small screen again. (She had a guest spot on CBS' Cane a couple of months ago, as I'm sure you know.)

Miss Cavallari was spotted entering the NBC Universal building today for a casting meeting for Lipstick Jungle (the new dramedy starring Lindsay Price, Brooke Shields and Kim Raver). But wait, it gets better. According to inside sources close to The Hills, the show's producers are looking into the possibility of bringing Kristin onto their series to reunite with Lauren.
Let me be the first to say: Hells. Yeah.

Not surprisingly, according to the same insiders, Lauren is less than thrilled with the idea of Kristin coming onto her show, possibly due to their previous love triangle with Stephen Colletti. But as we've seen from Heidi and Lauren this season, that sort of tension can also make for very good TV. (Sad, but true.)

As for whether Kristin would agree to hit The Hills, we shouldn't forget that when Laguna Beach ended, she said she was leaving reality TV behind in order to focus on her acting career. But with The Hills' newfound über-audience and über-presence in the media, I'm thinking this show may be well worth her time.

So, what do you think about bringing Kristin C to The Hills? And are you Team Lauren or Team Kristin?

A Recap of The Hills' Drama So Far...

LAUREN CONRAD, 21 Hills History: After graduating high school and following a stint in San Francisco, Laguna Beach alumna and queen bee Conrad set off to live in L.A. and intern at Teen Vogue; attends fashion school and is a budding designer with her own expensive clothing line, Lauren Conrad Collection.

Tabloid fodder: Ongoing feud with Montag and Pratt; relationship rumors; weight loss, workout and style tips. Rarely misses a party or opening, and was recently spotted dining with a pregnant Nicole Richie.

Popularity factors: "She has almost an everywoman quality about her," says Min. "She hasn't gone to the dark side yet like other reality stars, and she seems to be handling her height and status with grace." However, some viewers "will say she's inflexible with her friends and judges them too harshly," says Min.

HEIDI MONTAG, 21

Hills history: Conrad's original roommate and best friend until she began dating and subsequently moved in with Pratt. Has been accused of aiding a sex-tape rumor about Conrad and her ex-boyfriend, Laguna Beach alum Jason Wahler; also starting a clothing line.

Tabloid Fodder: Ongoing feud with Conrad; plastic surgery; rocky relationship rumors. This season, Montag and Pratt have been bickering over their upcoming wedding.

Popularity factors: Along with Pratt, "they're good-looking, photogenic, do fun things and love the camera," says Min. "I think there are a lot of women who watch and they just want to shake Heidi" for being involved with Pratt.

AUDRINA PARTRIDGE, 22

Hills history: Conrad's best bud and roommate who moved in after Montag moved out; works at Epic Records. (A spoof on FunnyOrDie.com stars James Franco and Mila Kunis as Audrina and boyfriend Justin Bobby having one of their tortured, endless discussions about their relationship.)

Tabloid fodder: Out and about with Conrad and Port, she hits parties, fashion shows, etc.; her on-again, off-again relationship with Justin Bobby, whom Conrad is not especially fond of.

Popularity factors: Min says Conrad's pals have their own cult following. "They're young, fun, essentially nice girls. They live this life that you can read about — they have the clothes, the attitude, the boys, the cars. It's fun for people to think of these three as real girlfriends for women who are in similar situations, starting out in a career and moving out on your own."

WHITNEY PORT, 22 Hills history: Former fellow intern of Conrad's, Port now works full time at Teen Vogue and is Conrad's supervisor. She eagerly eats up Conrad's tales of her romantic travails while at the office.

Tabloid fodder: Out and about with Conrad and Patridge, she hits parties, fashion shows, etc. Spotted drinking and partying hard at TV Guide's Emmy post-party this year, and left leaning on Partridge.

Popularity factors: "People think she's sort of smart and sensible and less emotional than the others, and perhaps has a cooler head," says Min.

SPENCER PRATT, 24
Hills history: Montag's fiancé and Svengali, Conrad's nemesis; wants to be a billionaire before 30, he told Radar magazine. He manages Montag -- who's aspiring to a music career -- and was recently spotted shooting her video on the beach. Insists he's just a misunderstood nice guy.

Tabloid fodder: Ongoing feud with Conrad; accused of spreading sex-tape rumors; authenticity of engagement/engagement ring with Montag. He's the reason Montag and Conrad became frenemies: Conrad loathed him, and Montag chose him over her.

Popularity factors: Min refers to Pratt as "the most hated man on television, the man everyone loves to hate." She says "he's integral to the show. Without Spencer, you don't have that tension," adding that "he seems insanely devoted to Heidi." On meeting Pratt: "He was lovely and charming in person," Min says.

Kristin and Nick: Split?!

Trouble seems to be in paradise for Laguna Beach-er Kristin Cavallari and her boyfriend of more than a year, Nick Zano.

"They broke up," a friend of Kristin's exclusively revealed to Life & Style. "She moved out of their house. They're going in separate directions."

Kristin, 20, and Nick, 29, moved in together this past summer - so what went wrong? "It wasn't working out," reveals the friend. "She was bored, and I think she realised she was better off keeping her options open."

So basically, Kristin missed the single life. "She used to be the It girl, and now she sees all of these other girls who would normally be in her shadow stealing the spotlight...I think she wants back in on the scene...living together put a real damper on things."

Look out, Hollywood!
