Audrina Patridge Defends Justin "Bobby" Brescia

Haters be damned! The Hills' Audrina Patridge couldn't care less if fans of her hit reality show are skeptical of the relationship she's revived with her ex Justin "Bobby" Brescia.

"Of course we have our feuds and everything, but it's fun having him part of the show," says Audrina Patridge, who works at Epic Records when she's not being Lauren Conrad's BFF.

"He is so cute!"

LC hasn't looked too thrilled about Justin Brescia so far, but other pals of the star, who have watched the couple's off-and-on dating for two years now, say they've seen plenty of evidence that the hairstylist, 25, is the one for Audrina.

"The core people around Audrina's life know what Justin-Bobby means to her," says a friend.

"It's not like he's just pursuing her to be on the show ... he is dealing with the show so he can continue to be part of her life."

It's a gesture not lost on Audrina Patridge.

"He is so not used to having the cameras around," she says. "He hates it, but he does it for me."

So should we take Justin-Bobby off the list of boyfriends on The Hills that we can't stand (a list that includes Jason Wahler and Spencer Pratt)?

Tell us what you think.
