Heidi Montag from 'The Hills' Print E-mail
Written by Elijah Bates   
Monday, February 26 2007
Heidi, you’re a ripe 20-years-old in the mist of a bustling young Hollywood, you’re an actress, you’re on MTV and you have an opportunity that millions would do anything for. Is this something you dreamed of? Yeah definitely! This something I’ve wanted since I was young and I’m having fun with it. I’m just trying to be in the moment.

Well working as an actor in the twenty-first century is all about identity. Have you found it difficult to brand yourself considering that you’re more or less an independent contractor in the acting field? Actually, I think it’s easier when you’re more in control of branding yourself and you can kind of decide what does and doesn’t work. It’s better because I have a lot more control. It’s my image and it’s what I want.

Have there been people pressuring you to do what you didn’t necessarily want to do? I make my own decisions and I decide what I do and don’t want to do. I definitely won’t let anybody pressure me into anything.

Isn’t it daunting when you think that now since you’re well-known, your single smallest action can have an indefinite reaction upon your career? That’s just part of what you sign up for. It can either be really fun or really bad, but either way I rather be in this position than not.

What’s been the greatest perk with this job so far? It’s just really fun. I’ve met a lot of amazing people. I think that I have been exposed to a world that most people aren’t. I’ve learned a lot.

Such as? Just personal lessons and things like that, learning how the industry works. With certain disappointments, I’ve learned that nothing is free and that everything comes down to you. Nothing is going to happen if you don’t make it happen.

Have there been many downfalls? Yeah, sometimes it is a little bit stressful. I’m the one who’s going to decide how big my career is or isn’t.

Do you ever feel inclined to provide a sense of responsibility in your work, to be a positive role model or do you just blow that off to go where the show wants to go? I do and I don’t because, at the same time, this is my life, and I can’t revolve around other people thinking about what reactions they might have. I definitely want to be a good role model and help young girls make the right decisions. But at the same time, I’m a twenty-year-old living my life and it just so happens to be on TV.

As people probably recognize you as they see you out and about in your everyday life, do you feel the need to continue working and provide a positive role model? I don’t go out a lot and I don’t go clubbing a lot. I don’t think it’s a good thing to be promoting to young kids that it’s a cool thing to be partying and all that. I’ve just been keeping a low profile and being responsible.

Does it ever bother you that your job requires you to work even when you’re not technically at work? Yeah, definitely. I feel like I’m working 24 hours a day! If I’m not on the phone with somebody, then I’m in my own head thinking about what I want to do.

Had you not achieved success working in television, what do you think that you would be doing right now?
I don’t know. I could be hosting or I could be living in Italy. There are so many possibilities of where my life could have gone. But I can’t really imagine anything else.

Heidi is ugly. She's fake looking....she's trying to pull off the Barbie doll, blond thing, but she's still ugly.

I think Lauren rocks! She's pretty,smart, and an awesome friend. I want her and Heidi to get along but i don't think that will ever happen. By the way, does anyone else think Spencer is ugly. Come on, even heidi can do better than that.
horrible friend
written by Cece , October 21, 2007
Personally, I don't like Heidi but I think she's pretty. She's a horrible friend and she totally screwed over Elody ( I think thats how you spell her name). It seems like she will do anything to get what she wants.
I LUV DA HILLS
written by Nikki , October 09, 2007
The Hills is a great show! So what if Hiedi messes up? don't we all? hers just hapen to show up on tv! maybe the show is even scripted! .......that wuld totaly suck if it was to..but thats not the point. the point is that the show rox and so duz hiedi so get over it. o and by the way I prefer lauren as my fave!
haters r wrong!!!!!!
written by Melrose , October 09, 2007
I don't get it people judge Heidi montag in such a cruel way they don't even know her. That is so f******g wrong who does that I mean come on people r u that gullable by hearing Audrina and Lauren when they talk s**t about Heidi!!!!! Remember in the second season she was such a nice girl she still is but it is just her makeover like her nose job and her boob job. SHe just looks more edgy but she is still beautiful!!!!


Number 10!
written by Rua , August 15, 2007
Ha also Heidi i believe is hot, but i believe lauren personally has a very unique beauty that trumps heidi's so i prefer lauren, but the 10th photo reminds me of a "Legal" show such as Law and Order haha
Hills 3 preview!
written by Rua , August 15, 2007
I believe, perhaps Laguna Beach and The Hills are in reality by the events, and actualy issues, that come up, as well as actual backgrounds and official records of the people, they are reality stars i believe, such as "I love New York" Tiffany ahh i believer her last name is Pauler. As well as the events actually taking place very previous to the season, or episode, such as a party they went to for 2006 new years, at such a close time to the actual episode, while actually working at "Teen Vogue" a legitimate business where she is listed as well. Now ABOUT the preview! Ha i was watching it, and it showed Lauren and Jason at a restraunt and Heidi comes in with spencer, Spencer says "Wow so happy to see you guys back together" then they sit relatively close ot them and Heidi says to spencer "Back in the movie making business?" when he had said something similar wonder what they are doing. smilies/shocked.gif :- smilies/shocked.gif
Ugh, please
written by Aliya , August 04, 2007
Heidi met Spencer after she was already Lauren's best friend. I've been in the same situation, and I chose my friend in a heartbeat. It was hard, but I pulled myself together. I don't think the Heidi and Spencer thing will work out.
Also, Heidi is hella dumb. How is she going to be successful when she's disliked by so many people, and she's depending on her enemy's show. Wow, Heidi.
Do the right thing.
MIST? Elijah Bates needs schooling

phone?
written by sandee , May 27, 2007
does anyone know what phone she is modeling?
i freaking want it!! btw. i don't like heidi much.
i think she's really annoying, she thinks she's a freakin princess, wait. who doesn't? haha.
give her a break
written by me , April 26, 2007
its tough being caught between to people that you love. she seems intelligent and genuine.
STFU ONCE AGAIN
written by kelli , April 25, 2007
omg THANK YOU. your so right! she is my godsister and i have to say she is an incredible, beautiful person, and i hate these people who think they know her because of a freaking show on MTV. she is wonderful, and the show isnt total reality, and your retarted if you think it is. geez grow up and stop bringing her down because your life sucks compared to hers. she IS only human, and i gaurantee each of you has made worse mistakes than dating the wrong guy ( who is amazing, in reality) so get over it, and leave her alone cause you have NO idea what your talking about. stfu.
Heidi Rocks So Stfu.
written by Colio , April 10, 2007
Haha, I've got to admit it's funny how you haters just comment about how ugly and unattractive she is. I can bet you a million dollars shes WAY better looking and personailty wise then all you girls. You're just jealous that shes rich and has a way better life then you could ever have. She's Good looking, And you all know that behind your tiny little jealous F'd up brains. Alright? I know she makes a mistakes, but that's only because shes blinded by Spencer AND ONLY HUMAN PEOPLE. Haha so stfu haters. smilies/cool.gif

Peace.
SPENCER PRATT
written by erika , March 27, 2007

Looks like you were born to comment smilies/smiley.gif
i love the hills ..it`s an awesome show.....
written by chelsie , March 23, 2007
i think personally that you people who comment on here are stupid. you don`t even know the people from the show and yet you think and judge and say their boring or a bitch or ugly!! one question how would you know??? think before you judge someone but yes Heidi is a bit disloyal to Lauren but we all have our mistakes in life and we all learn from them . so don`t judge them because of their personality on tv it`s a reality show based o their lives in la . you don`t know them so until you meet them don`t judge or assume assuming makes an ass of you and me........ and don`t waste your time .... it`s not nice to make rude comments to people if you don`t know them it`s stupid to post them on the internet anyway.. here is a tip you bashers get a life!!!!!
you are all haters
written by Love it , March 20, 2007
Heidi is BEAUTIFUL. If she is ugly than I would like to see your idea of pretty. Also if you all hate/dislike/are sick of her then why are you looking at this and commenting on it? hmmm Just a thought. She is hilarious and I for one LOVE her hair.
photos
written by jess , March 13, 2007
i think the photos are are great. i'm not sure why you would think otherwise.
photography
written by Sammy , March 09, 2007
wow.. I have to say, she is a pretty girl and all.. but honestly who did her hair and clothes? Her hair looks ridiculous.. it looks like sex hair. and not in a sexy way. and those shoes. Who ever told her those shoes match any of her outfits should take another lesson in fashion. Photo 9 seems to be the only one that looks professional. Oh my goodness. If you need a photographer.. call me. Oh, also when you write about someone who has something real to say about life. Not just nonsense
"Yall"?
written by Uh , March 08, 2007
"Yall," huh? What, are you going to tell us to "git-r-done" next? Nobody here is jealous of Heidi. She's ugly and she's on a network that lost it's coolness once Hootie and the Blowfish were the highlight of their programming.
...
written by jenn , March 08, 2007
im sure all of us have done bad things like heidi, or even worse.
but is it filmed? NO.
I love Heidi & Lauren.
all of yall are just jealous of her.
seriously, if yall had a life, yall wouldn't be saying shes ugly.

LOVE HER! smilies/grin.gif
The Spencer/Brody Details article
written by kbv , March 06, 2007
did Heidi ever respond to the Details Article? Spencer was completely out of control--the whole "sex tape thing". Did she ever address those nasty comments? Lauren did not show at the Hills Oscar Party. I think she did not want to see the spence/brody duo. (okay, I admit, I am way too involved in this show smilies/kiss.gif). If you know of any real response, please post.

written by Laxxdox , March 06, 2007
The show is great, however Heidi is ugly and she's a bad friend to Lauren. Lauren is the one with success, not Heidi. You go Lauren.....Heidi, go away.
How freakin bored can american youth be?
written by wtf , March 05, 2007
Ok I really think these stupid shows like LB, Hills, sweet 16 just shows how no young American girls really have a mind of there own. HOw bored is ery one? My life would be so much more fun to watch I think anyones would, and im sure you can take any young womens life tape it edit it, put it on a superfical network like MTV and stupid ppl will watch it and think that its the "in" thing to do! Heidi you are ugly you need to know that quit havin u and your friends post things on this site sayin your not its a FACT Ery guy I know says it looks like you ran through the ugly forest and all the ugly trees fell on you. YOur still ugly as hell and rich as f**k all the makeup fake hair painted on face still makes you ugly as f**k I could only imagine what u really look like YUCK. Your totally replacable on the show Lauren needs to realize your just her friend to be famous, which YOUR NOT! Just because your on a reality show about LAUREN NOT YOU, playing yourself and people watch you as nothing more than a QUILTY PLEASURE, doesnt mean your famous! People love lauren shes beautiful they think ur ugly and bogus as f**k! Your nutz to think youll eva be known long, you would be better off not being on this show because people only talk about you here in the real world sayin how sad it is that your on tv with the best makeup crew and still look like dog shit! And your also nutz if you think for a second that spencers fine ass would eva like your ugly ass if you werent on the show, hes riding you like u ride lauren! YOu dont really like Lauren he dont really like you karmas a bitch ugh! But you need to realize that honey before you try to screw over your meal ticket (lauren)! I mean laurens lame and boring but atleast cute, your not cute so can you atleast be a lil less fake and a lil more fun to watch? you have to bring sum thin to the table!
waste of space
written by Britney , March 05, 2007
I am not reading this awful article. Just wanted to write and say I don't know WHY she is on the cover. This girl is sooooo ugly. She is a nobody. You have had so many other great stars on the cover, why did u waste it on her???? I like the other articles in this issue though
I THINK HEIDI AND SPENCER ARE ADORABLE
written by lily , March 05, 2007
I know them as a couple, its amazing how gullible and jealous all of you haters out there are!!!!! they are two of the nicest people ive ever met. get a life!!!!
no arguments
written by kristi , March 05, 2007
not to start an arguement, but i personally love heidi and think she's one of the most watchable characters on the show. reality or not, we all know it's edited to all hell and maybe even a little scripted, but that's what makes it entertaining. heidi may not make the best decisions, but she seems like a sweet girl who has a good heart.
LOL

THE HILLS IS NOT A REALITY SHOW! IT'S SCRIPTED!!!
written by The Bearer of Common Sense , March 01, 2007
YOU ARE A RETARD IF YOU THINK THE HILLS IS NOT SCRIPTED! IT'S FAKE! HEIDI IS AN ACTRESS, YOU MORON! SHE DOESN'T BLOW OFF HER FRIENDS, MUCH LIKE PRO WRESTLERS MANAGE TO WALK AWAY FROM A 30 MINUTE MATCH AFTER BEING BLUDGEONED WITH A CHAIR OVER AND OVER! AND WHY WOULD THEY DO A FOLLOW UP, IF YOU'RE MISTAKEN? THAT WOULD MEAN THAT YOU ARE AN IDIOT AND THE ARTICLE IS FINE.
Is this for real?
written by Not a Heidi Fan , March 01, 2007
I'll admit it: Heidi is water cooler talk... for all the WRONG reasons. This interview has to be a joke. Since when is she an "actress" and better yet a "role model." Dropping out of school, blowing off friends, and dating Hollywood a*****es does not make one a role model. She has not done one positive thing on The Hills, unless you count hosting parties. If I'm mistaken, please do a follow up article because this one makes no sense.

written by jord , March 01, 2007
i agree. she is fugly.
Um, . . . I have a question . . .
written by Jaime , March 01, 2007
They keep referring to her as an "actress". I'm sorry, did I miss when she became a legitimate professional actress and not a reality TV co-star?
Heidi
written by sk , February 28, 2007
It's stupid to call her ugly just because you dislike/hate her. If you liked her you surely wouldn't say that. I think she sux now too, but I'm not going to say she's ugly, because she's not. I'm not saying she's amazing looking, just that she's not ugly.

However, I lost my respect for Heidi when she hurt her "best friend" Lauren and lied to her. Her boyfriend Spencer is the biggest douchebag and he's made that clear to the world. She should know this by now and if she's not about to leave the relationship than I guess she's just like him.
yuck!
written by jenchunn , February 28, 2007
This girl is totally fugly! Why on earth is she getting ANY attention at all... she must have an amazing personality, because she is not attractive at all.
People from what i have gathered really find her entertaining. Regardless of how people feel about her everyone seems to be into her. Personally i think shes HOT! I couldn't imagine being able todo things that would normally be questionable to an audience. All the while garnishing that much more attention and interest. I guess with reality TV you get rewarded for whatever! For those people involved it could be a gift or a curse.
What goes around comes around
written by Lolo , February 28, 2007
Heidi is an ass. She is fake and back-stabs her best friends all for a guy that does the same to her. She'll learn eventually, but not soon enough. Heidi needs to remember that she wouldn't have her so-called "career" to begin with if it wasn't for her friendship with Lauren. Spencer is using her to be on T.V. the same way she used Lauren. Nice. Karma is headed her way.
Love her!!
written by I have a brain , February 28, 2007
Heidi is gorgeous!! I love that she doesn't look all leathery like those other Laguna Beach girls, her skin is perfect!! She has a great figure and amazing eyes. She is BY FAR the most entertaining girl on The Hills and without her, the show would suck. I'm glad that you picked her for your cover, do it again!! I want to see MORE MORE MORE of her!! She's a little spitfire and I love her. Much more entertaining that that whiny Lauren Conrad...She's GREAT!!
Pale
written by Sylvia , February 28, 2007
I love Hiedi and all but has anyone noticed how godamn pale she is? Her legs are so white. Please get a tan before your next photoshoot.
liar
written by LP , February 28, 2007
I don't really care what she has to say. I saw her lie to her "best friend" on the Hills last night in the most calculating way. Karma's a bitch.
bwaahh
written by Tim , February 28, 2007
I'd do her, but I wouldn't want her to talk... or look me in the eyes, for fear that the shame of sticking it to a complete idiot would be reflected in them. Also, the publisher needs to shut up because he's a douche.
ugh

if you took time to comment

you need a life
FUG!!

... and what acting has she been doing? Not aware of any...
5th picture

What a great photo! If she is considered a horse, then I guess im into beastiality.
Attractive?
written by Ashley , February 28, 2007
You must have mad cow disease to think that whorse is attractive...

written by The Publisher , February 28, 2007
where are these horse and farm comments coming from? she is an attractive girl... you people are crazy!
Definitely a horse
written by Pengrove , February 28, 2007
No, no. Heidi definitely belongs on a farm with a feedbag over her face and a salt-lick at her feet. The fact that people probably fantacize about her makes me wish that I was untalented.
You Guys are Brutal
written by The Publisher , February 28, 2007
You guys are brutal... Heidi is actually really nice and really pretty... in real life that is.

she looks like a horse!!!
Heidi needs to shape up
written by Kelc , February 28, 2007
I cannot believe Heidi's actions in the last episode of the hills. I hope she sees these episodes and really realizes what an awful friend she is and how naive she is about her "boyfriend." Everyone should read the article in Details about Brody and Spencer, definitely shows the real them, gross.
Giver her a break
written by Betty , February 28, 2007
I agree that I feel that her BF is real piece of work but I think for the most part Heidi is pretty geniune. She is just like every other 20 year girl out there. We al made poor dating choices at that age and love and passion always seemed so intense. She'll figure it out eventually. Hopefully she won't lose Lauren in the process.
worst. interview. ever
written by minxerelli , February 28, 2007
the most boring questions ever asked anyone. whoever interviewed her got NOTHING of interest out of heidi. totally amazing.
At least shes trying to sound smart
written by Cara For reals , February 28, 2007
Its too bad that we all know what she really sounds like anyways.


shes pretty
doesnt sound like real heidi on show...
written by Amy , February 28, 2007
obviously shes going to act differently in an interview...who doesnt?? you know what you say will be printed so its obvious why she would play down her partying. also on the hills shes shown partying a lot & not just staying at home......well DUH why would MTV choose the scenes where she's just chillin at home opposed to when shes out partying. they have to put the juicy stuff in the show or it wouldnt be as successful. they are reaching a young adult audience who like partying themselves. In the interview youre likely to attempt to show yourself in the best light....its self promotion. thus the whole point of the interview. also, the interviewer asked certain questions which would lead her to answer in a certain way. shes basically saying what they wanted to hear.
Hills
written by Sarah Shelby , February 28, 2007
I love the Hills but I can't stand her boyfriend. I hope Lauren and her stay friends, she would be nowhere without her.
Honestly
written by Laura , February 28, 2007
Heidi is so ugly, fake and annoying. I have no idea who would be a fan of hers. She is corny, and her boyfriend is corny. Her teeth also get on my nerves.
That's because "The Hills" is fake
written by The Real Reality , February 28, 2007
It doesn't "sound" like the Heidi from the show because the "Heidi" from the "show" is "fake," i.e. a character. Anyone who buys into the idea that "The Hills" or "Laguna Beach" are real should be kicked in the face with steel-toed golfer's shoes.
big dreamer.
written by hello , February 28, 2007
wow this totally doesnt sound like the heidi that is portrayed on the hills. she doesnt go out and party? thats like the one thing she saysshe loves! and her boyfriend sucks! i think lauren will always be much bigger than her. when the shows ends i think that'll be the end we see of her..
Can she even read or write?
written by Heidi Hater , February 28, 2007
Bitch is too stupid to know how to read or write ... god I despise her ...

I think that she should take a closer look at her boyfriend. He's not worth losing a good friend over.
