Being Lauren Conrad's BFF made Heidi Montag a star. But when Montag chose her trouble-making beau Spencer Pratt over Conrad, Audrina Patridge stepped in for the "brainwashed" blonde. The hot-bodied brunette was at Conrad's side when Pratt spread those nasty sex tape rumors, but behind the scenes Patridge had her own scandal brewing.

Just as her profile was rising on the MTV hit in 2008, nude photos of a pre-fame Patridge surfaced online. But the brouhaha only seemed to catapult her into stardom: Patridge bid bid farewell to The Hills in 2010, flaunted her killer bod on Dancing with the Stars, and nabbed her own reality show for Vh1.

After graduating from El Dorado High School in Placentia, Calif., Patridge, an aspiring model and actress, is approached by MTV producers of Laguna Beach spin-off, The Hills, starring good-girl Lauren Conrad. "The executive producer came up and started talking to me about a new show. He said it was kind of like Sex and the City and he really liked what I had going on," Patridge tells Sydney's MX newspaper. "They had me go in and meet the other directors and they all loved me. It just fell in my lap, but it was good timing. It was fate."
