[edit] Biography

[edit] Reality TV

After moving to Los Angeles, she was hired for a job at Quixote Studios as a receptionist. In 2006, Laguna Beach stars Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag moved into her building to shoot their MTV show The Hills. Audrina became friends with both girls and joined the cast of the series. On May 28, 2009, she confirmed during an interview on On Air with Ryan Seacrest that she will be leaving The Hills to star in her own reality-based program documenting her life outside the Hills. She will leave The Hills as soon as filming wraps on the extra episodes for the fifth season. Her new show, rumored to be called The Audrina Show, will be produced by Mark Burnett and will air on cable television network E! in early 2010.

[edit] Personal life

Audrina Patridge grew up in Yorba Linda in Orange County. In August 2008, she purchased a house in Los Angeles' Hollywood Dell neighborhood.[5][6] On February 22, 2009, Patridge's home was robbed by two unmasked thieves. She posted on her personal website footage taken from her surveillance camera[7] in hopes of the public helping her find the two thieves who stole numerous, but replaceable, items from her mansion.

Patridge has had brief flings with Shannon Leto, the drummer in the band 30 Seconds to Mars, the lead singer in the band Education, Philip Bowman, and Brian Drolet, who had a role on The Hills. She had a three-year on-and-off relationship with Justin Brescia, another supporting cast member of The Hills. According to Gossip Girls, as recently as March 2009, Patridge and Brescia have had to pretend on-camera that they were dating.[8] In May 2009, she was rumored to be dating actor, Chris Pine. On June 4, 2009 he broke up with her.[9] In a radio interview the next day, Patridge confirmed this, saying, "We only went out a couple times, and, in the end, he just told me he couldn't date somebody as famous as me because it's too stressful or whatever."

In March 2008, nude pictures of Audrina were published online. "They were taken when I was just out of high school and beginning to model," Patridge has explained. "I was naïve, overly trusting of people, and inexperienced."[10][11]

Patridge is close friends with Adam Lambert, who was a finalist on the eighth season of American Idol. On April 14, 2009, she blogged about him, saying, "One of the contestants, Adam Lambert, is a close friend of mine and he's one of the most talented and sincere people I know -- he definitely has my vote."[12] He finished second overall, losing to Kris Allen at the finale.

Patridge has recently been involved in an on-air feud with The Hills newcomer, Kristin Cavallari, over Cavallari's flirting with Justin Brescia and an argument that took place at Patridge's birthday party.
