Whereas the earlier program provided a "reality"-style view of the lives of several average teenagers growing up in the ritzy area of Orange County, CA (and its neighboring Laguna Beach), The_Hills took the same format but followed the adventures of Laguna star Lauren_Conrad and her friends during their post-graduation years.
Patridge did not appear on the original series, though she was an integral part of the spin-off. Seasons witnessed Patridge working at the offices of Epic Records, socializing with her friends, and dating co-star Justin "Bobby" Brescia for a period of time.
According to mainstream news sources, Patridge courted some controversy for a series of fetishistic, nude photographs of herself taken just out of high school, which surfaced on the Internet not long after she began to achieve fame. She indicated that she did the shoot to cull the interest of Playboy magazine, which turned her down.
Audrina Patridge was born on May 9, 1985 in Los Angeles, CA. Audrina is an aspiring model and actress best known for her role on MTV's hit show The Hills. She moved in with fellow Hills cast mate Lauren Conrad in the spring of 2007 and is a regular fixture on the reality show.
In recent months, nude photos of Audrina have circulating on the Internet. Audrina has signed on to appear in the motion picture Into the Blue 2, making her the first Hills star to make the jump to the big screen.
