Celebrities are loving the curly hair extensions these days, and who better to feature in our latest style showdown than The Hills’ beautiful friends-turned-foes, Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag!

Both have been rocking the curls pretty hard lately.

Who wins this celebrity hair affair: Heidi Montag or Lauren Conrad?

At a private hilltop location in L.A., The Hills cast and their fans on Monday celebrated the Season Three finale with a blow-out party Monday.

While it was sad to see Season 3 come to an end, there’s a whole new year of drama to look forward to in Season 4, beginning in late summer.

Here’s a look at what’s next for Lauren, Lo, Audrina and others, via some hot spoilers and gossip TV Guide unearthed at the party …

Boys, Boys, Boys

Expect more, more, more. Lo and Lauren throw a big party in their new pad and invite boys galore. The ever-single Stephanie Pratt feasts her eyes on, well, everyone, and Lauren Conrad may have a new beau (Doug Reinhardt?) in tow. And as for Audrina and Justin Bobby? They’re definitely back on. As Audrina herself says, “[Justin] has always been there for me, and he still is.”

Friends in Lo Places

As far as Lauren Bosworth (Lo) is concerned, the tension has little to do with her - despite a self-described “foul face” when the topic comes up.

Next season, expect more from Lo’s perspective.

“It’s disheartening to see me turn into such a bad guy on the show,” she said. In Season Four, “You’re going to see the other side of the story. I think people need to remember that it’s Audrina and Lauren’s relationship that’s having problems…. It’s not my relationship to muck up.”

“Obviously we’re entertainers. We are trying to entertain in every aspect of our lives.” - Heidi Montag

The celebrity news world is simultaneously bursting and flat.

The unbalance of Britney Spears, the growing pains of Miley Cyrus and the druggy tailspin of Amy Winehouse - to name a few favorite plots - add up over the hours to grand narratives and debates about femininity, drug use, mental health, sexuality, motherhood, legal proceedings, parenting and violence.

But the celebrity gossip world is flat in that every story seems just as important as every other - and this is a monster that needs feeding.

That’s what celeb news fame is now: Weekly, and sometimes hourly, we must have stories; the lives of the chosen people must appear to move forward.

Into the breach between supply and demand have stepped Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, the villainous couple from MTV’s docu-soap The Hills.

While Heidi Montag may not be the most famous, she’s definitely fame-ish. Creatures of the game in every way, she and Spencer, the arch-enemies of Lauren Conrad, have mastered the new realities of celebrity culture.

The two know what commodity they’re selling and what its value is: “There’s only so much gossip,” as Heidi said over lunch recently.

“We’re always the juicier story,” Spencer Pratt interjected.

Maxim has officially jumped the shark.

Just the same, the men’s magazine’s editors have spoken: Heidi Montag is hotter than Lauren Conrad - they’re ranked No. 36 and 56, respectively.

That’s according to Maxim’s annual “Hot List” poll, which obviously does not deduct points for boob jobs, nose jobs, lip injections or general suckitude.

“Let’s hear it for villainy!” Maxim wrote of Heidi Montag in the feature, although they did credit Lauren Conrad for making “the life of a rich young woman seem normal,” and for “paving the way for Heidi.”

To say the least. What a duck-lipped leech.

Birthday girl Audrina Patridge also represented The Hills at No. 74. We are sad to report that Whitney Port and Lauren “Lo” Bosworth were not ranked.

The Hollywood Gossip takes issue with Maxim’s crappy rankings. We wonder if you agree. Who do you think is hotter, Lauren Conrad or Heidi Montag?

We love Us Weekly.

The venerable celebrity news publication not only breaks a lot of gossip, it makes it much more fun to follow and read. We have to give them props.

This week’s cover story, featuring Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag (it’s a safe bet that someone from The Hills or named Spears will be on there three out of every four weeks), is one of the magazine’s finest efforts yet.

Spencer Pratt’s “terrifying obsession” with the Lauren Conrad sex tape. The “war” over Stephanie Pratt. A sinister plot to “destroy” Lauren and take over her show.

Don’t get us wrong. We love the show - to an unhealthy extent. But that’s a tad dramatic, don’t you think? This is the The Hills, right? Not Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of The Sith. Or is it? See below ….

The Hills’ rivaling stars Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag, together again on the cover of Us Weekly. That hasn’t happened in, like, almost a full month!

While the battle over sex tape rumors is heating up, the show will be cooling off for the summer. The season finale of The Hills is next Monday.

Rest assured, though - the 19-episode Season Four starts in August!

Home may be where the heart is, but things aren’t altogether sweet in the home of Lauren Conrad (LC) on this episode of The Hills.

Roommates Lauren Bosworth (Lo) and Audrina Patridge aren’t really jiving, and the tension between them is getting worse by the minute.

While LC and Lo want to go tanning and shopping, Audrina has to go to Epic Records’ studio, where the band Alkaline Trio is recording, for work.

She really wants the Laurens to stop by and see her, and they do, for about 15 seconds, before Lo complains about being hungry and they bail.

Lo denies any sort of blame by saying she’s “just not cool enough to hang with bands,” but Lauren Conrad is sad that her roomies haven’t bonded.

If you thought Audrina Patridge’s life was complicated, it pales in comparison to the reality show’s other protagonist, the plastic-surgery loving Heidi Montag.

The fake-looking, duck-lipped bimbo decides that she wants to take her career to the next level. Her boss, club promoter / owner Brent Bolthouse, taps Heidi to help launch his new Hyde club - in Las Vegas! HOT!

Barack Obama has proven time and again that he’s the right man to lead America.

Unlike other politicians that see every issue in black and white, Obama has the insight to truly analyze an issue, to use proper judgment before making a decision, to avoid pandering to audiences in favor of actually having a discussion with them.

He proved as much during his ground-breaking speech on race relations a few weeks ago, and he did so again with an appearance in The Late Show with David Letterman this week.

“My first act as President will be to stop the fighting between Lauren and Heidi on The Hills,” the presidential hopeful read as part of his Top Ten “Surprising Facts” about himself last night.

Sounding reasonable and thoughtful as always, Barack Obama did not choose sides in the Heidi Montag/Lauren Conrad feud. But he did vow to end this war.

Among other surprising facts Obama revealed about himself were:

• “Number 5: I have canceled all my appearances the day the Sex and the City movie opens.”
• “Number 2: This has nothing to do with the Top Ten, but what the heck is up with Paula Abdul?”

Check out the clip NOW.

It’s a chilly spring night in Los Angeles.

The scene is Don Antonio’s Mexican restaurant. The subject is the End of Western Civilization - also known as Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.

Watching the fair-haired lovers stroll through their beloved Don Antonio’s feels like seeing Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe walk into the Stork Club back in the day.

That is, if Joe and Marilyn were the irresistible villains on The Hills, a maddeningly addictive MTV show in which nothing ever really happens.

As they sit at a dimly lit corner booth, and you can almost hear the text messages being tapped at nearby tables — omfg spencer n heidi r here!!!

Spencer Pratt, 24, who’s wearing a black Don Antonio’s polo and a wispy blond goatee, rattles off a grande order without consulting the menu.

Heidi Montag, a 21-year-old mane of blond highlights dressed in a blue sweater and white sweatpants, tucks her tiny head into his shoulder.

“I wish I got to see what you saw today,” Spencer says.

He’s referring to the Rolling Stone cover photo shoot attended by Heidi and her three castmates on The Hills: Audrina Patridge, 22, Whitney Port, 23, and the show’s star and protagonist, the lovely Lauren Conrad, 22.

Heidi Montag has been engaged in an ugly feud with Lauren Conrad (which started when she began dating Pratt but escalated over sex tape rumors).

Maybe you’ve heard about this ongoing charade at some point.

In any case, this Rolling Stone cover shoot was the first time Heidi and Lauren had been photographed, not merely Photoshopped (as MTV has been forced to do), together in more than a year. Like, OMG, 4 real.

The Hills are alive with the sound of cash registers.

Unlike Victoria Beckham’s dVb collection - which is now on the sale rack at Loehmann’s - Heidi Montag’s clothing line Heidiwood has completely sold out at the Robertson Blvd. boutique Kitson.

Memo to Posh Spice: Guess it’s easier to sell crappy $40 jeans than crappy $250 ones. Drop the price of dVb offerings by, say, $200 and try again! Then maybe you can be in the same league as Heidi Montag!

NOTE: We can’t believe we just wrote that, either.

Sadly for those of you seeking to wear Heidi Montag-inspired clothes right this minute, Kitson won’t be getting a new shipment of Heidi’s line until the summer or fall collection comes out.

“Does” in the figurative sense of course. The only whoring around Heidi Montag does is of the media variety. At least for now. As far as we know.

Despite reports that the plug was pulled on her upcoming trip to the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner (because MSNBC refused to pay for Spencer Pratt’s first-class plane ticket), they made it anyway, thank goodness.

Also in attendance to watch George W. Bush make fun of himself, Barack Obama, John McCain, Hillary Clinton and others? Heidi and Spencer’s nemesis, Lauren Conrad!

Wonder if the Secret Service had to keep them apart…

Last week, Spencer re-ignited the Lauren Conrad sex tape rumors that caused such an uproar last year, saying it’s “1,000 percent true” that the tape of LC and Jason Wahler existed. LC has yet to publicly fire back.

Maybe she’s waiting for The Hills tonight.

In any case, here are a few more photos of The Hills stars at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. Click to enlarge!
