Having to deal with Heidi Montag and shady boyfriends can get exhausting!

The Hills star Lauren Conrad just hopped a plane to NY, leaving behind her never-ending feud with Speidi, not to mention questions surrounding the authenticity of her relationship with Doug Reinhardt.

But despite everything, along with that cold New York wind...

L.C. still managed to give us a smile!

On Maxim's annual "Hot List" poll - Lindsay Lohan was #1 last year - The Hills' Heidi Montag ranked No. 36 while Lauren Conrad came in behind at No. 56.

Uh... seriously? Sacrilege!

Ironically, the editors at Maxim credit Lauren with "paving the way for Heidi." What does that even mean? Oh, right - it means Heidi wouldn't even be "famous" if it wasn't for Lauren!

Us Weekly reports in their latest issue about Speidi's plot to destroy Lauren. Hopefully we'll finally learn why Heidi and Spencer keep talking and talking about this sex tape - a sex tape no one's seen! - and what Lauren's pals have to say about the feud.

Who's side are you on?

Is L.C.'s latest man just another player like Brody?

So Lauren Conrad has been seen canoodling around town with baseball playa Doug Reinhardt once or twice... but last night at STK, Doug dined with a different girl!

We know Lauren may not have hills as big as Doug's date, but at least she has class!

The Hills star showed off her new wavy hair extensions, as well as some short shorts, in Hollywood the other day before heading out to party at Crown Club.

Is it just us or do Lauren's thighs remind us of Hilary Duff's? (And not in a good way!)

It takes an awful lot to leave a seasoned media pro like Lauren Conrad rattled - but one guy found a way!

After spending the evening partying at the Crown Club, Lauren was being escorted into a waiting cab last night when - out of nowhere - some crazy dude ran up and started screaming at Lauren and her escort! Naturally, the exchange left LC more than a little shocked - although she did her best to hook her fans up with some autographs, she couldn't sign more than a few before apologizing and taking off!

Anyone have any idea who the mystery jerk might have been? (Of course, whoever he was, he was still a million times nicer to Lauren than Heidi!)

We caught up with Hills starlet Lauren Conrad at the airport yesterday catching a flight to New York City. Huh - how come Lauren's going to New York? After hearing Heidi's comments on Letterman earlier this week, we wouldn't be surprised if she's flying out to respond in person

Urth Cafe, that is!

The Hills star stopped by the Melrose eatery with a gal pal yesterday afternoon for come coffee and, on their way out, witnessed a little fender bender right in front of 'em! Scary, huh girls?

And who's her "school friend" - is that Stephanie, the She-Pratt, herself? Damn, they're like REALLY good friends already!

Here's our favorite Hills star and Miley supporter, Lauren Conrad, shooting a romantic lunch scene for her MTV reality show today.

It looks like she's having a fun time with her mystery dude, but then he leans in for a kiss...

...and gets denied! What's up with that, Lauren?

Then later upon leaving we caught them in a cozy embrace!

Think Conrad was just putting on a show for the cameras, or is her flirting game really all about playing hard to get?

Everyone always said it would take a miracle to get Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag to agree with each other on anything - and apparently, that miracle's name is Miley Cyrus!

Extra asked Heidi for her thoughts about the controversy surrounding Miley's recent racy photos. Heidi's response was completely supportive of the teen queen, defending Miley's decision to pose for the pics as that of "a young girl in Hollywood, and she’s just having fun. [She]'s exploring herself.”

Of course, Heidi defending Miley getting sexy isn't too much of a surprise - but the demure Lauren? Now that's another story!

Us quotes Lauren: “I found it a bit silly. I thought she looked beautiful in the pictures. I didn’t find it that inappropriate. [Miley has] a lot of pressure on her since she is a role model, but I think she’s doing a good job.”

Jeez - if it weren't for last night's episode, we'd think Heidi and Lauren's statements almost constituted a thaw in their feud! It's just too bad Disney would nev-errrrrrrrrrrr let Miley appear on The Hills - now that would make for some great TV!

Bet you thought you'd never see Heidi and Lauren back together again, but here they are on the cover of Rolling Stone, wearing next-to-nothing!

Course, they have Audrina standing between them, but despite all indications on the show last night that the feud is no where near ending, this seems to be a step in the right direction for the pair who have refused to do any kind of press or photo shoots together in a long time.

I do love that while Heidi and Audrina (aka the sluts) are giving us their best "men's magazine" poses (Heidi's even doing the Tyra "booty tooch"!), Lauren and Whitney are demurely looking away from the camera!

And speaking of last night's episode, didn't it kind of seem like Lauren and Lo are giving Audrina the shaft? Lo might have been the sweet and innocent one on Laguna Beach, but she's kinda turning into a Mean Girl on The Hills!

Which girl do you think is a better roommate for Lauren? Audrina or Lo?

You go, Lauren! Time to move on from that fake relationship!

The Hills star Lauren Conrad left Villa last night with a new man - so much for Brody! And from the looks of it, this guy is a HUGE step up!

Whaddya think - hot or not?

The stars were out at the Us Weekly Hot Hollywood party at Beso last night and they some of them looked super sexy!

It's almost unfair that Heidi Klum is my pick for best dressed because quite frankly, this smoking hot supermodel could wear a dirty Hefty bag and still look amazing. The plum colored strapless dress she's wearing looks fantastic, and her body looks flawless - it's hard to believe that she has three kids! Next up: The Hills starlet Lauren Conrad kept it classy as always, but we have one request - we saw you on the cover of Shape, we know you have a bangin' bod, so why not shorten your hemline and show us some leg like Heidi did!

Eve dazzled the purple carpet in a chartreuse satin number with matching black accessories. Though this was a bold color choice, Eve really rocks it and looks fabulous, so we approve. On the other hand, Nicky Hilton stuck to a very simple (and slightly boring) black and white outfit paired with some funky heels. I dig the shoes, but I would like to see her beautiful baby blues in a shade of aqua or green. Maybe next time Nicky?

Co-stars and roommates Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge of The Hills both stepped out in retro Crayola-colored denim.

Whereas Lauren opted for a red pair of J & Company boot-legs, Audrina stuck with her skinnies in an almost fluorescent blue.

So who wore it best? And would YOU wear the 80s trend?

Lauren Conrad hasn't had the best luck in relationships (with guys OR gals), but at least she'll always have a friend in Lo!

The BFFs spent a sunny Saturday in with some healthy snacks from Whole Foods and a pile o' movies from Blockbuster!

So what kind of flicks were the girls in the mood for?

Mostly rom-com, with the delightful Enchanted, as well as the Mandy Moore starrer Dedication! Awwww.

X17 caught up with our favorite Hills star Lauren Conrad picking up some coffee in downtown LA yesterday. Unfortunately for us, L.C. seemed in a hurry to leave, but at least we got to say hi!

Think her friendship with Audrina is gonna last this season?

We caught up with our favorite reality star Lauren Conrad in Hollywood yesterday... which brings me to my question: Are you liking the new episodes of The Hills?

Can't say we're LOVING them - for some reason the show is different now, or is that just Heidi's face?

We are excited about Spencer's sis, though. Hopefully she'll stay around for a while!

We found Lauren Conrad at the airport in NYC, at the Air Canada terminal getting ready to depart.

Lauren was rocking a bright blue scarf with some Lindsaylike leggings and boots, as well as an oversized bag and sunglasses. The bag is so enormous it looks like Lauren may have even lost something in there!
