Happy Birthday, Whitney Port!

What's not to love about Whitney Port?

The star of The Hills and now The City is not only pretty, fun and smart, but one of the more genuine girls you'll find in the wasteland of reality TV.

Whitney, who turns 24 today, was introduced to us as the co-worker and confidant of Lauren Conrad at Teen Vogue. America quickly fell in love.

After four seasons on LC's The Hills, she moved to New York to embark on a new career, a new relationship and a new reality show, The City.

But she's still the same, terrific Whitney to us ...

That smiling face has been lighting up MTV for years now.

You better treat her well, Jay Lyon, or we will come to New York and hunt you down. We'll rough up your loser friend Adam Senn too, for good measure.

Here's wishing the beautiful star a special day. Click to enlarge many more Whitney Port pictures we've compiled from the past couple of years below ...
