Being MTV heroine Lauren Conrad's BFF made Heidi Montag a star. But when Montag chose her headline-spawning love Spencer Pratt over Conrad, Audrina Patridge stepped in as L.C.'s go-to gal pal. The loyal brunette was at Conrad's side when Pratt spread those nasty sex tape rumors, but behind the scenes Patridge had her own nude scandal brewing.

In 2008, nude photos of a pre-fame Patridge surfaced, just as Conrad's Laguna Beach pal Lauren "Lo" Bosworth came back into the picture. After being put into solitary confinement in the girls' guesthouse, Patridge landed her first movie role in Into the Blue 2. While it seemed Conrad and Patridge had made amends during the fourth season of The Hills, Patridge eventually moved out.
