The Hills' pseudo-drama heated up on Friday when a PerezHilton.com blurb claimed that Lauren Conrad had hooked up with gal pal Audrina Patridge's on-again/-off again beau, Justin "Bobby" Brescia. "I'm not sure what to believe," Audrina fretted via her Celebuzz blog. "Though Justin and I have not been exclusive for quite some time, these rumors are very confusing and hurtful." LC was quick to dispel the alleged diss, telling In Touch, "These accusations are so crazy it's difficult for me to take them seriously." She then added — and this is the only reason I picked up this story — "While my usual taste in guys isn't always perfect, I do prefer they shower regularly."Seriously, Bruce Vilanch couldn't top stuff like that.LC then went to MySpace to hint that the less-enhanced half of arch enemy Speidi was behind the bogus buzz, saying, "Hmm... I wonder who [leaked the rumor to Perez]? Who is someone that I do not get along with, that possibly has too much time on his hands (b...

Jason Wahler and Lauren Conrad by Albert L. Ortega/ WireImage.com
It's a case of he said/Speidi said, as Jason Wahler shoots down new talk that a sex tape exists starring himself and then-girlfriend Lauren "LC" Conrad. Responding to comments made on Tuesday's Tyra Banks Show — where The Hills' Spencer Pratt claimed with "1,000 percent" certainty that the video once existed, to which permappendage Heidi Montag added, "[Jason] was going around trying to sell it" — Wahler tells UsMagazine.com, "I do not have a sex tape of Lauren Conrad, and one does not exist. Spencer Pratt is lying to get attention." (Imagine that.)"Lauren is my friend," Wahler adds in the statement, "and it is insulting to her to suggest this."Heidi had told Tyra she had never actually seen the alleged tape, and then cryptically added, "I am not really allowed to elaborate." — MWM

Lauren Conrad knows a thing or two about rumors, and the latest one making rounds is that her boyfriend-stealing nemesis from Laguna Beach, Kristin Cavallari, is joining The Hills. "No!" Conrad said between laughs when TV Guide caught up with her at the Kari Feinstein's Style Lounge. "That's a rumor." Even rumors that Conrad's best friend Audrina has switched over to "Camp Heidi" (as in Montag) are highly exaggerated. "Audrina has always been cordial with Heidi," LC explains. "We still live together, we're still best friends. Audrina is always going to be able to say hi to people she's known, and people are just taking it a little further."And although Conrad didn't mention whether or not she and co-star Whitney Port still have jobs, she did confirm that Whitney isn't going anywhere: "She's not going to leave the show. I've asked her to move in [with me and Audrina] so you never know, but she's not as comfortable with the cameras. We literally wake up to them setting up in our house...

Lauren Conrad by Jeff Lipsky/MTV
Lauren "LC" Conrad's somewhat-anticipated big announcement during the live finale of MTV's The Hills was not A) that she was quitting the series, nor B) that her feud with Heidi is all a big lie, nor C) that she is the long-lost kid sister of Christine "Marcia Brady" Taylor, but rather D) that this third season is being extended by eight "bonus" episodes, to begin unspooling early next year and chronicling "Lauren and Whitney's adventures in Paris, where they travel to work for Teen Vogue at the Crillon Ball," and "the latest stories affecting the cast including Heidi and Spencer's tumultuous relationship. Will they get married after all?" teases MTV.With The Hills extending on, the moratorium on calling Ausiello's apartment on Monday nights remains in effect.Related:• Cheers & Jeers heads for The Hills

In the October issue of CosmoGirl!, Heidi Montag whines that she's just had to accept the fact that MTV, and the world, will never see Lauren Conrad as the bitch she sees her as. "They don't show the footage of how Lauren was sort of obsessed with [fiancé Spencer Pratt] or how she called my mom... and told her I was involved in an abusive relationship or how she would scream at me in the middle of the club if I wanted to leave." Poor kid. I feel the same way about Mitovich.

Phil Stacey, one of American Idol's two Wednesday castoffs, is singing the praises of the lone male left in the mix. As well as, yeah, the other three finalists. "I think Blake is most likely to be the most original contestant ever on American Idol. He just blew it out this week with Bon Jovi," Phil said in a press conference call. "Melinda is possibly the greatest singer I’ve ever heard on the show; LaKisha sings with so much passion that it's hard to listen to her and not get chills; and Jordin has got a range that lasts for days, her upper notes have so much power behind them." Phil opted not to forecast the ultimate outcome, saying, "Honestly, I think it's anybody's ball game at this point. I’m really looking forward to seeing how it goes from here on out."As for this week's other elimination, the bad news for Chris Richardson's femme fans is he's... single. "I just got out of a three-and-a-half-year relationship back home," he shared. "All of the rumors that are going...
