With just a few eps of The Hills' fifth season left, J-14 just had to get our fix in before it was too late! Stephanie Pratt has been crazy busy but we chatted with her (while she was taking care of her parents' dog!), and she told us all about life without Lauren, how she really feels about Kristin, and her Team Edward obsession!

J-14: Has it been weird for you to not have Lauren Conrad there?
Stephanie Pratt: It's really lame. Audrina [Patridge], Lo [Bosworth], and I all miss her the same amount. We all talk about it when we go to beach houses in Malibu and parties. We were all really good friends -- she's Lo's best friend is gone -- so it's sad. We still hang out -- we have each other on BBM.

J-14: How have you adjusted to Kristin Cavallari being there?
Stephanie: I've seen two different sides of her. It's really hard trusting someone who you don't know. I'm a sensitive person in general -- even seeing strangers upset makes me sad! I'm trying to work on not being affected by everything that goes on. Everyone's [been] trying to give Kristin a chance, and we're all having a lot of fun hanging out in Malibu. You try to make new friends and keep the old ones, but right now the dynamic on the show is that people are having to make a choice, so there's a lot of tension.

J-14: Is it weird to have Kristin and Brody Jenner filming together again?
Stephanie: It's not really. I've known Brody forever. He was best friends with my brother when him and Kristin started dating five years ago -- that was so long ago! They really just seem like friends. She was the first girlfriend that Brody was settled with -- they were in a committed relationship. Brody and I don't really get along. I like to stay clear of him. I completely took Audrina's side with the whole Hawaii thing.

J-14: How do you feel knowing that some of the things happening in your real life aren't shown on TV?
Stephanie: The only thing that bothers me is that no ones ever seen the other side of [my brother] Spencer. But no, we've never, ever seen a script! It's always fun to watch other reality shows and be like, 'I don't believe that's how any of them are,' but for us pretty much everything is what it is, just edited down.

J-14: Are you Team Jacob or Team Edward?
Stephanie: Edward! I was reading Twilight shouting out loud, 'I hate you Jacob!' I was so mad at him! On my BBM, my status would be, 'Jacob leave her alone!'

J-14: Do you have a celeb crush?
Stephanie: Ryan Gosling!

There are many organizations out there dedicated to finding a cure to breast cancer through many different means, and one of the biggest ones is Susan G. Komen for the Cure. This year, Yoplait has teamed up with the foundation and formed the "Know Your Girls" Campaign.

"The 'Know Your Girls' program is designed to engage young women, help them connect with each other through education, and ultimately pass along information on the best breast-health habits and screening measures," Yoplait's marketing manager Tammy says. "There still is no cure for breast cancer, so education and early detection programs are some of the strongest defenses against the disease; we are asking young women to educate themselves and spread awareness to their peers."

The Hills' Audrina Patridge supports the cause -- she was spotted in Hollywood wearing a "Know Your Girls" tee after a workout. Grab a friend and head to facebook.com/yoplaitpledge to get more info on the fight to raise awareness to all girls.

Just when you thought the antics of The Hills' Spencer Pratt couldn't get any crazier, he officially just topped himself! Spencer announced that he's legally changing his name to "King Spencer Pratt!"

"I've decided since there is a Queen of England and a Prince William that there should be a king of America," Spencer says. "I nominate myself for that role."

And he's not kidding -- look what he wrote on his Twitter:

We can't wait to see more Speidi craziness in the new season of The Hills, which premieres on Tuesday, September 29 at 10 pm on MTV.

Would you ever put the word King or Queen in front of your name? If you could dare Spencer to do the craziest thing you can think of (We bet he'd do almost anything... :-)), what would dare him to do?

Following in the step of Lauren Conrad, Audrina Patridge just announced that the upcoming season of The Hills (premieres on September 29 at 10 pm), will be her last!

"I'm almost done with The Hills. We're in the middle of finishing these episodes, and I'll be leaving then," Audrina says. "It feels like I'm graduating. I'm taking the next step and growing up and maturing and moving on in my life."

But Audrina's not leaving the spotlight entirely -- she's turning to her true passion, acting! "I moved to Los Angeles to be an actress, and before I got onto The Hills," she reveals. Her next project? The new horror flick Sorority Row, with Rumer Willis and Princess Protection Program's Jamie Chung, that comes out on September 11.

Are you sad that Audrina is leaving the show? Will you still watch after she's gone?

Fancy LBDs, girls! The Hills'Lo Bosworth, 10 Things I Hate About You's Meaghan Jette Martin, and Suite Life On Deck's Brenda Song all sported this ruffly French Connection dress, but each added their own touches to the fun black dress. Lo wore fancy peep-toe heels to compliment the party dress, Meaghan paired hers with a black headband and strappy sandals, and Brenda added funky purple nails and white shoes to her look!

Who do you think wore it best: Lo Bosworth, Meaghan Jette Martin, or Brenda Song?

J-14 loves the fact that Greek's Amber Stevens is answering all of your fashion questions. She's got some sweet style helpers to back up her tips, like Greek's stylist, Mandy -- she puts outfits together for Amber's character, Ashleigh. "She's really funny and cool and most of the time, my costume for the scene is something Mandy is wearing to work that day!" Amber tells J-14. "She'll coordinate and say, 'Oh I own that, I'll wear that the same day to work so we're matching.' So I basically wear everything she wears." Amber also got to meet fashionista Lauren Conrad from The Hills when LC guest starred alongside Amber and Spencer Grammer in the season two finale.

Since Amber's got so many fashionable people in her life -- and she's quite stylish herself --- Amber was able to give Amanda great advice on changing up her style. Check out her tips below, and look for her next fashion q & a next Friday!

I have the problem of always wearing the same style, but when I try to change it up a little bit, it just makes me feel uncomfortable. I like the preppy style I have, but people always tell me to change it. In some ways, I can't! What do I do?

- Amanda, FL

Hey Amanda -

Stick with the style you love! It can be hard to go outside of your comfort zone, so start small and try new accessories. Add some hair ornaments or wear long necklaces and hoop earrings. Changing the colors of your clothes could help, too, but be sure to tell your friends to buy you new clothes if they want to see you in something else so badly!

<3,
Amber

What do you think of Amber's advice? What do you do when you're stuck in a fashion rut? Have you ever tried to change up a preppy style? Do you follow just one fashion trend?

Lauren Conrad just revealed via her Myspace page that she is completely done with filming The Hills. The show will continue to run on MTV without Lauren and she assures fans that she has other projects in the works.

"Last night was my last episode of "The Hills". It was a bittersweet night for me. A part of me is sad to say goodbye to something that has been such a prominent part of my life, but I know that it was time and I am very happy with my decision. I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has watched and supported me over the years. While putting my personal relationships and struggles on television wasn't always easy, the support I received from people made such a difference. Because of all of you, I was able to accomplish so many aspirations and for that I am very grateful. So, THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!

I have some interesting projects in the works and I will keep you all updated.

From what I've heard the next season will not disappoint :-)"

What do you guys think of The Hills without Lauren? Will you still tune in? What or who are you excited about for the next season? Who is your favorite Hills character?

The Hills' couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt officially tied the knot today.... and Heidi Tweeted her way through the whole experience! (Click here to read more of Heidi's Twitter.)

The wedding took place at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Pasadena, California. There were about 400 guests including Lauren Conrad who told us earlier this week she got an invite, but wasn't going to attend the wedding.

Also at the wedding were Brody Jenner, Audrina Patridge, Lo Bosworth, Frankie Delgado, Kristin Cavallari, and Perez Hilton.

What do you think of Speidi tying the knot?

Lauren Conrad guest stars on Family Guy Sunday, May 3 on FOX in the episode "We Love You, Conrad." J-14 chatted with Lauren and she spilled about what its like voicing a cartoon character, her future in acting, and more!

Q: Are you a fan of Family Guy?
Lauren: I am a fan of the show. I've watched it for years. My favorite character is Stewie.

Q: What's it like seeing a cartoon version of yourself?
Lauren: It's fun. The most exciting part is to see what you look like animated. I feel like unless you have a really prominent feature on your face, you kind of just look like a cartoon character, so I thought it was fun.

Q: Besides Family Guy and The Hills, what TV shows are you loving right now?
Lauren: I really like Lost, and I'm watching Brothers & Sisters. 30 Rock is my favorite.

Q: Do you plan on taking more acting roles once The Hills is over?
Lauren: Acting, no. I've done a couple of cameos on shows, and it was fun to do it for the day, but it's not something I'm interested in. I've been doing voice work for about five years just because of The Hills, so that's something I would be interested in. Audrina is getting into acting, so she would probably be interested [in being a cartoon character]. I feel like any of the girls would be down. It's kind of a fun thing to do.

Q: In the episode, Brian discovers you're not like the way you're portrayed on TV. Do you think the real you is different from what people see on TV?
Lauren: A little bit. I don't know if it's necessarily me or just the reputation of an average reality star. They basically make fun of me for being dumb, and then Brian discovers that I'm actually a genius and that it's a character I play because America likes dumb people. It's a more exaggerated version of who I am, but it was fun to play.

Are you guys looking forward to the new season of The Hills -- why or why not?!

Watch the preview below!


Are you still into The Hills?

Their debut album, Walk This Way is in stores now and the group just finished shooting the music video for "Candle (Sick and Tired)." The Hills' Audrina Patridge and Good Charlotte's Benji and Joel Madden even took part in the video shoot. Check out the final video below and tell us what you think! When you're finished, head over to their Myspace page!

"Candle (Sick and Tired)"

After enduring an overdose of drama on The Hills this season from her housemates Lauren Conrad and Lo Bosworth, Audrina Patridge has had decided to move out of L.C.'s guesthouse. "I felt like a guest and it was uncomfortable," Audrina says. Yet, the reality show star is hoping the move will strengthen her relationship with Lauren. "It's going to be better for our friendship," she explains. "When I was in the back house, we took each other for granted. Now, we'll have to make more of an effort."

Did Audrina make the right decision?

Whitney Port will star in her very own Hills spinoff show--The City. The show follows Whit as she works for fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg in NYC and will air early 2009.

Yesterday J-14 reported that The Hills' star Lauren Conrad signed a deal with Harper Collins to write three fiction novels. Today we learned that L.C.'s book series will be titled LA Candy and hits shelves summer 2009. "I've always loved books that I could lose myself in, ones that would transport me to another place, but had characters I could relate to," Lauren says. "I'm so excited to have this opportunity to write books like that for other readers."

The Hills' fashionista recently signed a deal with Harper Collins to write a three-book series of young adult fiction. The books will be loosely based on LC's reality star experience. "It's definitely influenced by my own life," Lauren said. "The books are about a girl who moves to L.A. and stars in a reality show, so obviously there are some similarities."
