The Secret Life of 'The Hills' star Audrina Patridge

Season 3 of " The Hills" is out on DVD this week, and in honor of the occasion, we snagged some quality time with Audrina Patridge while she was en route to get her hair done in Beverly Hills. Patridge spilled on the real deal between her and Lauren Conrad, her first big movie role and the best part about being famous.

Is Lauren your friend?

We live together, so yeah, we see each other a lot while the show is taping. Sometimes I see her when it's not.

But is she your friend outside of "The Hills"?

We don't have a lot of the same friends, but we try to reserve one night a week to hang out. In the fourth season, you'll see our fight gets cleared up. Basically, I just start doing my own thing separately from her and Lo [Lauren Bosworth], and I get busy. But you know, things change and friendships do drift apart sometimes. Lauren and I aren't not friends, we're just not as close as we used to be.

What about Lo? Do you blame moving in together with her and Lauren for the rift in your friendship?

I do think living in that separate guest house of mine was definitely the cause of the tension between Lauren and me. We were used to being right next to each other in our apartment. I don't really blame Lo, she and Lauren have been friends for a long time.

Do you think you're portrayed accurately on "The Hills"?

I think I've been portrayed well on the show. But it's based on Lauren's life, so some of the things in my life, like my friends, aren't on the show: my personal life with my true friends and my family, me going to acting classes, shooting a movie. They filmed a little, but they can't air everything.

What's the biggest misconception about you?

I don't feel like they show me on "The Hills" sticking up for myself. They edit that out. I'm generally happy with how I look when it comes out. In real life, though, I'm bubbly and fun and talkative and when you see me on the show I'm always sitting there and sad. But I'm fine with it because it's not my show. I'm there because of Lauren.

Tell us about the movie you just shot, a sequel to "Into the Blue."

We filmed on Oahu. Everyone was so nice and supportive. It's so different from a reality show because I have lines to memorize. "The Hills" definitely helped just in terms of being in front of the cameras and being used to crews watching me. It made it a lot more comfortable on a film set. There were also a lot more people, but I felt very prepared.
