Well, we will definitely say that Lauren Conrad's Summer collection is a step up from the tediously boring, ridiculously overpriced Bella Collection she did for Spring. Granted, it's still overpriced, the clothes are just cuter.

We're aren't sure whether is was before or after enrolling in the fake fashion design school that she attends every week on MTV's hit reality how The Hills, but somewhere in between taping episodes Lauren Conrad began to fancy herself as a real-life bonafide designer.

Lauren Conrad has said that designing is all she ever wanted to do. So Miss LC must have been thrilled to be chosen as UsWeekly's celebrity designer of the year.

You know when you get invited to a lame party by someone and you feel totally obligated to go -- so you make up some excuse about being busy, or sick, or mourning a dead relative? This is totally like that, only with Heidi Montag and the President of the United States.

Somehow the Hills "reality" TV star made it on the list for the White House Correspondents dinner. But is she going? Hell no! Not unless she can get expenses paid for her creepy-looking boyfriend/manager, Spencer Pratt.

-Alicia Douval, some British "model" famous for getting it on with celebrities and then telling the tabloids, is really proud of her 12-year-old daughter. Not because the tween made her junior high soccer team, scored an A in algebra, or got a bunch of Girl Scout brownie points -- but because she wants a "boob job" (so she can be famous like Britney Spears!). While she admires her daughter's enthusiasm, Alicia thinks it's best to wait until she's older. You know, like 16. [Sun]

Whether you love The Hills or you hate it, come Tuesday morning everyone's always talking about the show -- the fights, the hook ups and most importantly, the wardrobe!

We love Lauren "LC," Conrad's classy style. She always keeps things simple, yet modern. Last night we adored her in a plain gray vest over a black tank top paired with skinny jeans. It was nothing Earth shattering, but she still looked great!

And not only did LC dress to impress, but she walked the walk. Kelly at People's Revolution loved Lauren so much that she scored herself a new job. Although, I can't help but wonder if that's real, or if MTV hooked it up.

You knew it was coming eventually. That, however, doesn't make it any less uncomfortable for all of us. Pete and Ashlee are engaged. [People]

Remember when someone pretended to launch a George Clooney fashion line, and the rumors were so rampant that the actor had to make public denials? Yeah, whoever did that is totally getting arrested. [AP]

Commentary after the jump.

Audrina Patridge wants to capitalize on the newfound fame her nude pictures have bought her. Sure, they were "leaked," and now that people are talking about her more than ever before, she has decided she wants to become a real life model.

Are you addicted to The Hills? Are you obsessed with Lauren Conrad's style? If so, you'll be happy to find out that the lovely LC has a new online video series.

Called, "LC's Eye On," the video series will be premiering every Tuesday for 5 weeks straight. Lauren will discuss hot trends in fashion, things she's obsessed with at the moment, and more. In the first episode, LC leaves us with such gems of wisdom as this, "Every spring, people start wearing more, like, springy dresses." She also thinks high waisted pants are going out of style because we've realized that "nobody looks good in them." I'll drink to that.

Do you look just like Heidi Montag? If so, congratulations! You could be chosen to model her clothing line from Anchor Blue. The reality T.V. star turned designer is looking for a few good women to wear the clothes at a launch party.

The rules are simple -- you must be 21 years of age and a California resident. The deadline for applications is March 31st. The website says, "Remember - we're looking for Heidi look-a-likes so give us your best Heidi impression! Photos must be recent, taken within the last 30 days." For more information, click here.

Lauren Conrad may be a busy, busy fashionista bee, showing off her latest collection, but our friends over at StyleList have managed to get LC to find time in her hectic schedule to answer some questions. Lucky for you all, the readers from StyleList and Styledash will be doing the asking. Yes, that endorphin rush you just felt is the sweet taste of power. So, do you have any burning fashion questions for LC? I know you do. Make yourself heard in the comments!

If you're seeking some fashion question inspiration because all you can think about is The Hills, take a look at some of our previous fashion coverage of LC. Is there something about her collection that you've been dying to find out? Do you envy her mad make-up skills? Or maybe you just want to ask her where she got those shoes.

Deadline for questions is April 7th, so hit the comments and start asking!

She was young, she was dumb, and she's so much smarter about the world now that she's 22, but it seems that right after high school, the star of MTV's The Hills was featured in some not-so-tasteful photography. Naughty pics of Patridge surfaced on the internet sometime last night, leading to the revelation that the show's most edgy actress isn't Lauren Conrad -- who is rumored to have a sex tape floating around out there -- but Audrina instead.

The photos were initially taken as part of a plan to get her foot in the door at Playboy, but she was denied. WWTDD has a few up that you can check out. In some, she's dressed up as Catholic school girl -- others as an undressed Catholic school girl. Here's what Patridge had to say about it:

"I took these photos years ago when I was just out of high school and beginning to model. I was young and very trusting of others and I didn't know to protect myself. It is a lesson learned, for myself, and hopefully for the young girls who look up to me."

So, let that be a lesson to any of you who are looking to start a modeling career right out of high school. Nude pics aren't good for anything except drawing attention to yourself and getting cast on a MTV drama. Frankly, that's all they have to offer -- a dead end for sure.

Another day. Another celebrity clothing line.

Just days after Lauren Conrad debuted her rather weak spring collection at LA Fashion Week, here comes word that yet another cast member from "The Hills" will be trying their hand in fashion.

Today, WWD reports, that LC's reality television co-hort Whitney Port will be launching her own clothing line called Eve & A this fall. The 15-piece collection will consist of convertible dresses, tops and jackets that will wholesale for $40 to $250.

Although Port didn't pretend to learn attend the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising like Conrad, Port's father Jeff owns the apparel company Swarm, which manufactures the young men's line Shades of Gray. The company will also be backing Whitney's line. Everyone: Awwwww

The Eve & A collection will be debuting in the Movement showroom today at the Los Angeles market. But don't fret people. You'll be able to catch a sneak preview before next fall: The looks are said to be appropriate enough for Whitney "to don at her next gig as an intern at the public relations firm People's Revolution."

The new season of "The Hills" airs March 24.
