Lauren Conrad

If there's one thing Lauren Conrad does, it's go to clubs in and around L.A.

But there are two things Lauren Conrad does, they would be wear trendy fashion (even when a little casual) while going to said clubs. We heart her so.

The Hills star was seen leaving the area's new hot spot, Deluxe nightclub, in Hollywood last night, wearing a black and yellow striped minidress. Peep it:

Leaving hot new club Deluxe in a cute striped mini-dress, Lauren Conrad stopped to sign a picture of Lauren Conrad for a lucky admirer of Lauren Conrad.

A burgeoning designer, The Hills star has always been one who can pull off casual, yet trendy looks such as this. Click to enlarge more Lauren Conrad pictures below ...

With her trusty sort-of-friend Lauren Conrad along for moral support, Audrina Patridge went shopping at Ashley Paige, trying on new bikinis while LC, a camera crew from The Hills and a lucky celebrity gossip photographer looked on ...

Given their increasing exposure and the ever-present risk of skin cancer, Audrina's fake boobs reportedly asked for more coverage than usual. They were denied.

It appears to have been a successful mission. Justin-Bobby will surely appreciate the time and effort invested. Click to enlarge more photos of The Hills duo shopping ...

Filming is underway for the new season of The Hills.

The show's leading lady, Lauren Conrad, and her BFF Lo Bosworth were seen shooting over lunch at Mira Le in West Hollywood today.

Neither of the two co-stars showed many smiles though as the conversation seemed to grow more and more tense as the lunch went along.

The Hills was heartwarming, annoying, funny and nearly Audrina-free last night. Our recap will consist of awarding and deducting points as we see fit.

When Lauren Conrad learns her parents are moving out of Laguna Beach, she returns home to pack up her old room. Spencer Pratt tries to get sister Stephanie to ditch boyfriend Cameron, and Whitney Port takes a step closer to The City.

On to the rankings! Chime in with your own!

Playing the role of strong, protective big brother, we came dangerously close to giving props to Spencer Pratt. But he would be snide, sarcastic and passive-aggressive to Stephanie even if Cameron weren't being a d!ck, so Minus 1.

Spencer to Stephanie: "Do you know how immature and stupid this relationship sounds from an outside perspective?" Plus 18, because it, like, totally does, but this is equally true of Speidi to the entire celebrity gossip reading world.

Within the first few minutes, LC name-drops the episode title, "Dream boy, dream job!" Minus 2 for lameness and the strong possibility that she was coached to.

At the Diane Van Furstenberg offices in NYC, Elizabeth, Alixe and Whitney Port herself are all wearing tight clothing and high heels at work. This is actually consistent with both the industry and city. Welcome to New York! Plus 3.

At least from what we could tell, Stephanie surprised Heidi and Spencer by bringing Cameron to dinner. Spencer went off on him immediately. Minus 4, because surely Stephanie would have seen that coming. It's Spencer Pratt, people!

How much did you love Lauren Conrad while she was back home in her old room! That scene with LC and Lo reflecting was, like, so real. *sniff* Plus 7!

But Minus 2 because while it would've been beyond ridiculous if Jason Wahler walked in at that moment, we were kinda hoping it would happen.

Okay, this has been bothering us for months: the hosts of the Hills After Show are such losers. Do we have to see them during commercials too? Who the eff dresses that girl? And you know that dude's glasses aren't even prescription. Minus 9.

Of course, Whitney would use a lot of Valley Girl-speak in her interview and of course, no one would bat an eye. If you're Heidi Montag at Bolthouse, this would be annoying as hell. But if you're Whitney Port, it's the name of the fashion game! Plus 3.

Whitney's Australian love interest, Jay Lyon, appears for, like, three seconds to hug her a lot before she leaves for L.A. Minus only 2, because while that was a total sham, we're so psyched to see Jay and Whitney on The City, you don't even understand!

TOTAL: +11. Not bad! Leave a comment with your own scores!

Sources say Lauren Conrad was spotted hanging with her Hills crew - plus boyfriend Kyle Howard - at West Hollywood's Crown Bar over the weekend.

The reality star grabbed a table with Lauren "Lo" Bosworth, Frankie Delgado and Doug Reinhardt, who was getting cozy with Amanda Bynes. Seriously.

Eventually, Lauren Conrad and her group moved to the dance floor, forming a circle, while Kyle Howard headed outside to chat with some guy friends.

LC'S BOY: Though seldom seen together by celebrity gossip photographers, The Hills' Lauren Conrad and My Boys' Kyle Howard are still an affectionate item.

When Howard returned and Conrad finished dancing to classic songs like Madonna's "Holiday," the duo reunited, sitting very close, smiling and talking.

Also at Crown Bar were Heroes star Hayden Panettiere, who made a brief appearance but mostly was interested in texting people on her phone, 90210 actress AnnaLynne McCord, plus rocker twins Joel and Benji Madden.

Audrina Patridge wants to set the record straight about her feud with Lauren Conrad and LC's alleged hookup (which never happened) with loser Justin-Bobby.

On her official blog, Patridge writes that "never did I EVER call Lauren a 'slut,' 'bad friend,' 'shady person....' I simply asked Lauren a question and that was how she interpreted it. I didn't go around town running my mouth, either."

She is right - never did Audrina use these words on the episode of The Hills in which this all hit the fan, either. But basically, Lauren Conrad felt that by merely asking if the rumor was true, rather than dismissing it, Audzo implied them.

There's an argument to be made there, as well.

Audrina Patridge just get rid herself of loser BF Justin-Bobby.

As for confiding in Heidi Montag over the incident (which surely didn't help smooth things over with Conrad), Patridge says the following:

"Heidi knows how Lauren works and when Lauren hung up on me and was acting like a child, I obviously thought the worst. I do always find it interesting to watch The Hills episodes and see what senseless gossip people come up with!"

Last week set the bar pretty high, but The Hills was still solid last night. As always, our recap will consist of us awarding and deducting points as we see fit.

Audrina Patridge is, like, still a mess over the scandalous Lauren Conrad-Justin-Bobby hookup that didn't actually happen. She doesn't know what to do next. Meanwhile, Speidi pays a visit to his Nana, and Spencer rips Stephanie a lot.

On to the rankings! Chime in with your own!

One second after showing up, Spencer Pratt rips Stephanie for decorating her kitchen like a bathroom. It's like he was determined to fire off an insult at the first possible opportunity and that's what he saw. Plus 3.

Obligatory Minus 5 for Heidi Montag's Times Square hooker / clubbing makeup. In broad daylight. At lunch with a nice old lady, no less. Tramp.

Whitney Port tells LC she's still in touch with Jay Lyon, who writes "xo" after, like, every sentence when they text. OMG, so cute, mate. Plus 7.

My, Casey Patridge was wearing a colorful top in this episode. Oh, wait, those are just her tats. Plus 4. And Plus 2 more for her wise words.

Audzo ranted non-stop about Justin-Bobby, yet the dirtbag did not actually appear last night. Normally, this would be cause for celebration, but in this case his mumbled, idiotic remarks would have fostered even more drama. So Minus 4.

Audrina Patridge sort of admits that she jumped to conclusions and treated Lauren unfairly over this, but then cops a pathetic excuse, "I don't even know who I am anymore" rather than just moving on. OMG, grow up, girl. Minus 9.

Not just a Brody Jenner sighting. A shirtless Brody Jenner sighting. Plus 16. And Plus 5 more for is query to LC about "banging Justin-Bobby."

Speaking of the great BJ, that promo for Bromance was comically bad. But come on, we know we're gonna watch that and The City. Plus 5.

Anyone else think Nana is kind of sweet? Maybe Spencer's adopted. Plus 3.

Stephanie says Spencer wouldn't be Nana's "favorite" if she knew more about him. Riiight. Spencer has actually talked about Nana on numerous occasions in celebrity gossip tabloids! She has a scrapbook! Nice try, Steph. Minus 4.

TOTAL: +21. Leave a comment with your own scores!

Last night's episode of The Hills was an emotional one for Lauren Conrad.

In less dramatic news, the star has been experimenting with a new hairstyle of late. As you can see in the photo at right, a wispy fringe and pulled-back pony are a departure from the cutie's usual look (left) - but do you like the change?

Tell us your thoughts on Lauren Conrad's bangs in the survey below ...

Which hairstyle looks best on Lauren Conrad?

Best. Episode. Ever. The Hills was in rare form last night, and our recap, as always, will consist of our staff awarding and deducting points as it sees fit.

Holly Montag is still, like, totally sad about the way things went down with Heidi. Spencer is still a jerk. Meanwhile, Audrina thinks Lauren hooked up with Justin-Bobby - and both J-Bobby and LC are far from pleased about her accusations.

On to the rankings! Chime in with your own!

Audrina tells Chiara that Dino (Dina?) told her about the Lauren-Justin hookup. Minus 2 because Audzo has no friends with normal names, and Minus 3 more for the "detail" of the hookup she refers to not being explained. Peeps wanna know!

Would anyone be surprised if Lo Bosworth started the rumor? That would be classic, diabolical Lo. But she sort of said nothing throughout. Minus 1.

Spencer Pratt calls Holly Montag "Little Miss Traitor." Plus 4, because he probably could think up a much better nickname/insult, but we all know he's lazy.

Heidi has been relegated to a cubicle at work, rather than the posh office she used to have. After her fake firing, of course. Plus 7 for the general ridiculousness of this, and Plus 2 more for Spencer smirking about it when she complains.

We rant about the lag between real time events and The Hills so much it's passe, but this episode aired a few hours after we learned about Heidi and Spencer eloping. They're married! It's hard to take minor fight #378 as seriously now. Minus 2.

It's hard to tell what bugs Lauren Conrad more - being the subject of a false rumor, or that said rumor involved her and a revolting human being. As IF! Plus 4.

Audrina Patridge leaves a rambling, pathetic, borderline-stalker voicemail for Justin. Minus 4 for her being such a loser. Somehow, Justin-Bobby was the more collected, mature individual at the bar later. Didn't see that coming. Plus 7.

Anybody else missing Brody Jenner? Just asking. Minus 2.

The editing of the Audrina-Lauren drama was a bit off. LC is never shown denying the hookup, yet we learn later that both she and J-Bob did so initially. It's like we're being manipulated and this "reality" show isn't 100 percent real. Minus 3.

Minus 3 for the staged Stephanie Pratt scene in which she's clearly being fed lines. But Plus 6 for the similar Casey Patridge scene, because she tells it like it is.

Finally, it comes out: Lauren Conrad said she'd "rather die" than hook up with Justin-Bobby, who's "disgusting." She said this to Audrina's face. Wow. Plus 14 for the utter harshness, honesty, buildup and inevitability of that statement. And Plus 3 more for "You're way worse than Heidi." Talk about adding insult to injury!

TOTAL: +27. Vintage Hills. Bravo, all. Leave a comment with your own scores!

We've read and talked about the alleged LC-Justin-Bobby hookup for weeks. Now, on tonight's episode of The Hills, we watch it unfold from their perspective.

In the sneak preview we've posted below, Audrina Patridge tearfully admits to a co-worker that Lauren and Justin hooked up - which Lauren vehemently denies.

"[Audrina]'s calling me a bad friend, she's calling me a shady person," LC tells Lo Bosworth. Worst of all, "She's saying I would hook up with ... him!"

Seriously, LC, we feel you on that one. Talk about slumming it.

Justin-Bobby sort of denies it in typical douchebag fashion. But LC had no intention of beating around the bush, telling Audzo, "You're way worse than Heidi!"

Snap!

Speaking of Heidi Montag, she's getting into a fight with both Spencer Pratt and her sister, Holly Montag, in this episode. Follow the jump to peep the preview ...
