Heidi Montag

Heidi Montag (born September 15, 1986 in Crested Butte, Colorado[1]) is an American reality television celebrity best known for appearing as "the villain" character on the MTV reality television series The Hills. Montag is also an aspiring singer.

Television career

In the summer of 2005, MTV began filming the lives of Laguna Beach cast member Lauren Conrad and her college friends for her spin-off reality show, The Hills.[2] Montag's reality TV career began with a few appearances on season two of MTV's Laguna Beach. Montag's friendship with Conrad led to a featured role in The Hills, which premiered on May 31, 2006.[3] Montag was featured in the series sharing an apartment with Conrad while studying at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles. Montag left the Fashion Institute in fall of 2005 when she was hired as an intern at Bolthouse Productions.[4] According to Montag, she dropped out because she "did not find the school challenging".[5] Within two years, Montag was promoted from intern to event planner at Bolthouse, and has no plans to return to fashion school.[6]

Montag appeared in every episode of seasons one and two of The Hills, and appeared in season three, which aired on MTV on August 13, 2007.[7]

The nature of Montag's role in future seasons of The Hills is unclear since she is no longer living with Conrad and no longer speaks with her because of conflicts which occurred during their time as roommates, which surrounded Montag's relationship with Spencer Pratt. Despite a major role on the show, she did not appear on The Hills: Finale After Party, broadcast live from MTV's New York headquarters or The Hills: MTV Canada Finale After Show (filmed at MTV's Toronto studios).[8]

At The Hills: MTV Canada Finale After Show, cast member Audrina Patridge made it public that she no longer speaks with or sees Montag.[9]

Montag has discussed taking acting classes, saying she hopes The Hills will help her jump start a film career. She has expressed a desire to have appearances in "some movies" in addition to "a couple of hit albums".[10] In a recent Blender Magazine interview, Montag revealed her intentions of one day winning an Academy Award. [11]

Music career

As of February 2007, Montag is working on recording an album with producer David Foster.[12] She describes the sound as "very fun, fresh, sexy" Montag danced as a child, thus reportedly plans to do "a lot of performing" in connection with the album. Additionally, she indicates that a lot of her songs "will be very sexual."[12]

On August 16 2007, Ryan Seacrest premiered Montag's song, "Body Language", featuring Pratt rapping, on his KIIS-FM radio show. The song was produced by David Foster. Both Montag and Pratt denied the song was her intended first single with Pratt telling Us Weekly that the tune, "was a song Heidi and I were doing for fun. Never would I rap on her first single!"

It was also reported that Montag is on a one-song contract with Warner Bros., not a full studio contract as both Montag and her then-fiance, Spencer Pratt, had claimed.[13] The debut album will now be produced by Theron Feemster and self-released by Montag herself, according to her Myspace music profile.

In December 2007, another track by Montag and produced by David Foster entitled "Touch Me" was leaked online.[14]

On February 5 2008 Montag's first single, "Higher", received an online-only release on iTunes. Along with the single, the accompanying video shot by boyfriend, Spencer Pratt, was also available to purchase. The song and the video received a negative response from websites and readers across the internet, to which Montag responded, "I appreciate people taking the time to write any comment." [15]

On March 25 2008, Montag released her second single, "No More" through iTunes.[16]

Design career

Despite dropping out of fashion school in 2005, Montag has reportedly been signed as the new spokesperson for Anchor Blue Clothing Company and will also design her own line for the company. The line will be called "Heidiwood" and will be priced between $10 - $60. [13]

Personal life

Relationships

Montag began dating Jordan Eubanks in 2005 and their relationship was featured on season one of The Hills. Montag broke off her relationship with Eubanks in the spring of 2006, a move that she has described as "the best decision of [her] life" and "something that [she] should have done earlier". [17]

In the summer of 2006, Montag started dating fellow Hills cast member Spencer Pratt, a former manager of Brody Jenner Season two of The Hills (which aired from January through April of 2007) focused on Montag's relationship with Pratt and its effect on her friendships with Conrad and Patridge. On The Hills' season two finale, Montag moved out of her apartment with Conrad to live with Pratt.[18]

In May 2007, Montag and Pratt announced their engagement.[19] Fans of The Hills have speculated that the engagement is fake,[20] a claim that both Montag and Pratt denied.

During The Hills season finale in December 2007, Montag and Pratt broke up. During a broadcast of Ryan Seacrest's radio show, Pratt revealed that he is "madly in love with Heidi and trying to win her back to marry her."[21] The fate of the couple's relationship will be revealed in a series of bonus episodes of The Hills that will air in spring 2008.[22]

Plastic surgery

After months of speculation and rumors, Montag admitted to undergoing a breast augmentation and rhinoplasty in April of 2007.[23]
