Lo And Behold: The Hills Sidekick Tells All!

She's got all of the fame with none of the fuss. Lauren "Lo" Bosworth steps in and out of the spotlight whenever she pleases, while her old pal Lauren Conrad must deal with cameras constantly in her face as the star of hit reality soap The Hills. Lo, 20, was a Laguna Beach cast member in the first season, but she's since gone off to UCLA to live a normal life, only occasionally reuniting with Lauren and pals on The Hills. But like any SoCal college girl, this single sweetie loves to party, and this season the fan favorite has been around more than ever! Star spoke to Lo about life on camera.

Are you in school now?
Yes, I am majoring in art history at UCLA. I just started my senior year.

How do you feel about the way you are portrayed on the show?
I like watching myself on the show, because it gives me a different perspective on who I am. Sometimes I think "that not's not me", but it really is.

Are you dating anyone now?
Hmmm...there are a few people, but nobody serious.

What are your plans for your 21st birthday?
We might go to Vegas. We were just there for Brody's birthday and it was really great. I'll do something in LA too.

Any thoughts on Heidi and Spencer?
I don't know if their engagement is real or just for publicity. I think they go well together because they are both not very nice. I never liked Heidi; I always thought she was insincere.

What do you think of Lauren's clothing line?
I love it — it's stuff I would definitely wear. I'm very excited for her.

You've been on two big MTV shows, how have you managed to stay down to earth?
I have such a great family. Being in college also really helps; I make sure to do normal things like be in a sorority and go to football games. I'm not out in Hollywood every night.
