Plenty of men might beg to differ with what Lauren Conrad tells May's Allure Magazine.

"I'm not a sexy person," The Hills star, 25, said. "I'm OK with it. I've never been the sexy girl. Whenever I've had a boyfriend, he's always been like, 'Oh, you're cute.'"

But LC admits there have been plenty of times she doesn't even feel cute, especially when it comes to stories about her fluctuating weight.

"You're the first person to notice any weight gain or loss, and then to have it pointed out can be embarrassing," she says. "You have two good angles and a hundred bad ones. I've seen photos of myself and cringed, 'Oh, God, I can never wear those pants again!'"

In fact, the reality star and writer, who's been dating actor Kyle Howard for nearly two years, has devised a plan for those incidents. Conrad now wears skinny jeans with high heels to elongate her legs and she always carries a giant handbag.

"If I'm shopping and I see paparazzi, my bag goes directly to my thighs," she says.

But while Conrad might have some self-esteem issues, she says she'd never consider going under the knife like pal Heidi Montag, who had more than 10 procedures including breast augmentation, liposuction, and a nose job.

"I saw the magazine just like everybody else," she says. "I don't think this is a happy story at all, there's just no right answer there."

Spencer Pratt is hoping to start over -- as Ryan Seacrest's radio intern.

The 27-year-old Hills alum wrote an e-mail to Seacrest's talent booker, Amy Sugarman, asking for a five-week stint under the media mogul. "I'm trying to change my image and make myself more likable," he told her.

Pratt called into Seacrest's KIIS-FM radio show Thursday to further explain his desire to change his public image.

"How do you go from being hated to even a little bit likable? It's about who you're around," Pratt said. "I've learned you need to be around likable people to even start to be likable. Who's the most likable person in America, if not the world? That would be Ryan Seacrest."

When Seacrest, 36, asked if the MTV bad boy had finally shaved his oft-mocked "flesh-colored beard," Pratt assured him that he's "completely shaved" and "clean-cut."

"I got a nice nine-month vacation living on the beach collecting sand dollars, and I really got to reflect and realize that in entertainment, you can definitely go too far," the former Hills star -- who once dropped $400,000 on healing crystals -- said. "I'm ready to start a whole new [chapter]."

As for wife Heidi Montag, 24? She's busy shooting a new reality show for VH1 with The Bachelor's Jake Pavelka, 33, and The Real Housewives of New Jersey's Danielle Staub, 48.

"She's up every morning at like 4:30. She starts her day with jump-roping while I'm still asleep, and then she heads off to film this new series for VH1 and she doesn't get back until at least 10 p.m.," Pratt told Seacrest. "I'm twiddling my thumbs all day like, 'I need to get a job.'"

A new chapter for LC!

Lauren Conrad -- whose debut teen novel, L.A. Candy, hit No. 1 on a New York Times bestseller list -- just scored another three-book deal with HarperCollins, she tells Us Magazine exclusively.

Called The Fame Game, the Hills alum's upcoming trilogy is set in the reality TV universe, and features Madison Parker, an ambitious, ruthless character from the L.A. Candy series who's ready to become a star in her own right. In her way? Backstabbing family friends, dogged paparazzi and one media scandal after the next!

"We took the mean girl of the [L.A. Candy books], spinning her off," Conrad, 25, tells Us of The Fame Game's tough protagonist Madison.

"This series is about a girl who loves everything that fame is, and that's all she's ever really wanted," Conrad explains. "[Madison] has fun with the press, she enjoys the attention, she welcomes scandal!"

If Madison sounds familiar (Heidi Montag, perhaps?), Conrad assures Us her characters aren't based on anyone real. "No. We have fun with it! We kind of take [Hollywood] stereotypes.

With a clothing empire to run as well (her third line debuts this fall), when does Conrad write?

"Between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m.," Conrad tells Us. "My phone doesn't ring, and there's nothing on TV!"

Is Conrad's longtime beau, actor Kyle Howard, an L.A. Candy devotee? "He read my first book, which was very sweet," Conrad says, laughing. "I told him he didn't have to read the rest. "I don't think he's the target market!"

On her blog dated January 29, Darlene Egelhoff - mother of Heidi Montag - writes a shocking entry outlining the night that she “thought might be my last” due to an adverse reaction to sleeping pills while she was drinking alcohol.

Heart palpitations, which she admits to suffering from since childhood, but not at an alarming rate, increasingly got worse leading her to become depressed, she claims.

“I have been literally tortured with chronic insominia [sic], not allowing people to sleep is a form of torture used in the military.

“I have been not sleeping for even one minute for continuous nights with a few hours here and there over the course of weeks. I have been delirious and hallucinogenic [sic].”

She goes on to write that her condition forced her to get a generic form of the prescription sleeping aid Ambien, which she inadvertently took with wine, a type of behavior that led to her brother’s suicide, she admitted.

“I was loving them (the sleeping pills). I had been on them for a couple weeks when I had a bad reaction, likely because I was also drinking wine which it says not to do I discovered later.

“My brother Rip always joked that those labels were wrong, that all medications were way better with alcohol! He also enjoyed many drugs recreationally for the majority of his adulthood which likely contributed to his depression and ulitimaltey [sic] taking his own life.”

Addressing her history of heart palpitations, Egelhoff said she grew “groggier and had felt pressure and pain building and increasing in my head over the course of many days, becoming toxic and severely depressed with no alcohol consumption.”

It was so severe she thought she was having a heart attack.

“My heart started pounding and wouldn’t stop racing. At the same time, I felt an intense tightening and pain surrounding my heart, I thought I might be having a heart attack,” she said.

Egelhoff writes that she’s “working a lot more”, but didn’t seek medical attention because of her dire financial situation.

“I have no insurance and no money so my decision was weighted in favor of waiting it out.”

Heidi Montag is no stranger to the cameras – or controversy – but she's not checking into Dr. Drew Pinsky's Celebrity Rehab for pill addiction.

"No, I'm not joining the cast,” she tells PEOPLE exclusively, shooting down a report that claims the former Hills star was dropped off at treatment two days ago and is sharing a room with Real Housewives of D.C. star Michaele Salahi on Rehab.

Spencer Pratt has some harsh words for his former The Hills cast member Lauren Conrad.

He tells RumorFix in an exclusive interview that the reason her pilot was recently dropped by MTV is because "she's boring."

Lauren released a statement saying that MTV passed on the show about her fashion career because it was too "high brow" and they wanted her to put more of her personal life in the show, but Spencer says that would not have helped.

"We watched 70 episodes of your personal life on The Hills -- It was boring!" he says.

Mr. Heidi Montag has some more advice for Lauren: "The goal is to be entertained not watch an infomercial of your clothing line."

He says when taping The Hills, producers often asked him to save the day. "With one minute of Spencer Pratt trying to make the craziest antics and drama on The Hills, it was still almost impossible for people to watch because she was so boring."

He says the sad part is that Lauren's real life persona is far more interesting than the one she shared on TV.

"In real life Lauren is a bigger ho than Snooki or any of the girls on Jersey Shore. She was always making out with guys on the dance floor and being all sloppy drunk. They just edited it out to make her look like this Mary Tyler Moore character."

Lauren now says several other networks are looking at her pilot.

Spencer Pratt is furious with Bravo network executive Andy Cohen for his verbal tirade Thursday on his wife Heidi Montag, and he exclusively told Radar Online, "I want a public apology!"

Cohen referred to Heidi as "trash" in a verbal attack after Montag Tweeted "Watch out Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Here comes Heidi."

While Heidi may want to join the cast, Cohen didn't take kindly to the suggestion, and unleashed an aggressive assault on the 24-year-old former reality TV star.

"Professionally, I'm not supposed to discuss any negotiations so I have to parse my words here. That trash is delusional and I would sooner stab ... knives into my own eyes than see her on this network." He then

called her the "Jackhole" of the week."

Spencer was stunned by the hurtful comments about his wife, and he told Radar Online, "Andy is clearly the Jackhole."

"You think you're special because you have your little talk show that's hurting in ratings doesn't give you special authority to bash a young girl."

"Maybe you have issues with women. From how I see you treat the women on all the series during your reunion shows, it's clear you you don't respect your talented housewives, always mocking them."

"Most viewers of Bravo are women, and no woman wants to hear a man call another woman trash."

"If he had such a problem with my wife, why didn't he say something to our faces when we met his arrogant self in NYC.

"He is not an individual, he represents a network and as much as I used to love watching shows on Bravo. After this, I will never watch a Bravo series because they choose hateful people as the face and spokesperson

of the network."

Cohen's comments have definitely lost Pratt as a viewer for this season's RHONY and said, "He is not an individual, he represents a network and as much as I used to love watching shows on Bravo. After this, I will never watch a Bravo series because they choose hateful people as the face and spokesperson of the network."

Heidi Montag spent $2 million on a failed attempt at a music career, but the 24-year-old blonde bombshell has been given a second chance, and she's excited!

Montag told Radar Online in an exclusive new interview that Deb Antney, mother of rapper Waka Flocka and music manager extraordinaire, has agreed to take her on as a new client.

"Spencer Pratt is going into the studio with Wooh Da Kid and Waka Flocka Flame, and I requested that his mother Deb Antney meet with me and manage me, because she is just fabulous," Montag said.

"I spent $2 million on my music career, and it didn't happen for me, and now I have this opportunity."

Antney runs the Atlanta-based Mizay Entertainment that boasts hot acts such as Nicki Minaj, Gucci Mane and of course, Waka Flocka.

"I need her to guide me in the right direction and I know amazing things will happen because she really knows what she is doing," Montag said.

"I've never been able to be the true Heidi, and now that I am not working on The Hills, I can really focus on this."

Radar Online confirmed through Antney's rep that it's a done deal, and she has agreed to meet with the aspiring singer.

"We are meeting in the studio on February 21st through February 24th, and I am so excited.

"I want to make my own niche in the music world, that's just Heidi. It could be a Pink meets Britney Spears."

Andy Cohen struck a nerve when he said Thursday that he'd rather "stab ... knives into my own eyes" than have Heidi Montag join the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

"Andy's tasteless remarks were hurtful and completely unnecessary," Montag tells PEOPLE. "I was simply being playful. I'm well aware I'm not the right demo for that show, but Andy Cohen took it to a malicious place. I have always been a fan of the Housewives franchise and I don't appreciate being bullied."

The harsh comments came from Cohen during his Watch What Happens Live late night talk show. Cohen also called Montag "delusional," for a Tweet that implied that she was in talks to appear on Real Housewives.

"Watch out Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Here comes Heidi," the former Hills star wrote with a link to a report that said she and husband Spencer Pratt were in talks with show producers.

Cohen's rep had no comment.

After former Hills star Heidi Montag told Us Magazine she was "so upset" that Jennifer Aniston, 41, banned her from the NYC premiere of Just Go With It, Montag explains that "it was all a big misunderstanding."

"I read that Jennifer had banned me from the premiere for being too polarizing, but I know now that it wasn't true," Montag tells Us. "It never really made sense to me because Jennifer is such a sweetheart and she even commented before on a red carpet about how interesting and fun it was to have me in the movie."

So why didn't Montag, 24, walk the red carpet with the rest of the film's stars on Tuesday night?

"I got my invite and I would have loved to be there, but I had to be Los Angeles with my dogs," Montag explained. "I was honored to be a part of such a great movie and I apologize to Jennifer and Sony for this big misunderstanding. Go see the movie this weekend! It's fantastic!"

Watch out Camille, Lisa, Kyle and gang, there’s a new housewife who wants to move into Beverly Hills.

Heidi Montag is actively pursuing joining the cast of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Radar Online has learned exclusively.

Her husband Spencer Pratt wants to come along too and he confirmed the news to Radar Online that his “people” are going to be talking to the RHOBH honchos on Tuesday.

“We would move to Beverly Hills in a heartbeat. We would be psyched if this happened for us,” Spencer told Radar Online.

The show has been a ratings hit and Camille Grammer has not publicly said if she will return for Season Two.

Adding former MTV The Hills stars Heidi and Spencer to the show is sure to increase the drama and would be a publicity coup for Bravo.

Heidi is a regular on weekly magazine covers because of her drawing power and is not stranger to controversy after revealing she had 10 plastic surgery procedure in one day.

And as far as Spencer is concerned, we’re sure he’ll figure out a way to grab attention, too!

According to Kikster, Jennifer Aniston is trying everything in her power to have Heidi Montag’s name axed from the guest list before Just Go With It’s red carpet premiere.

Montag has a cameo in the film, so why would Jen want her invitation taken away?

Apparently Jen doesn’t like how Montag conducts herself with the media, doing anything for attention, because that’s not how Jennifer made a name for herself.

A source tells the Daily Mirror; “Heidi is everything that Jen’s steered well clear of in her career – attention-seeking, an exhibitionist and totally lacking in class. She couldn’t stand The Hills. She thinks the girls have no talent and barely respect themselves.”

No word on whether or not she even has any influence on who they will invite, but we have a feeling if Montag has the smallest part in the film, she’ll be welcomed.

We assume the two did not shoot any scenes together.

Aspiring rapper Spencer Pratt was planning to pitch a song he wrote and performed about chicken wings to fast food chain KFC.

But, the former reality TV star shelved the idea after listening to the finished product -- unfortunately however, not before the song was 'leaked' all over the internet.

Always quick to spot a red hot promotional opportunity, animal rights group PETA heard about Pratt's aborted attempt to become a rapping KFC spokesperson and challenged the 27-year-old to cross over to the other side, by recording an anti-KFC rap instead.

In an email exclusively obtained by Radar Online, PETA Senior Vice President Dan Matthews writes: "Dear Spencer, Instead of rapping about KFC's wings, why not speak up for the chickens who are scalded to death for the colonel?

"As you can see in this video hosted by Pamela Anderson, chickens who are killed for KFC live their entire lives mired in their own waste and filth, only to be shackled upside down by their fragile legs and have their throats cut while they are still conscious.

After watching the video, please consider recording a PETA campaign tune for our Kentucky Fried Cruelty campaign. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Dan Mathews, Senior Vice President."

Meantime, it's somewhat of a turnaround for the animal rights activist group. They once lambasted avowed hunter Spencer and his wife Heidi Montag for choosing to buy a pure breed dog rather than adopt from a shelter.
