Audrina Apologizes To Heidi, Spencer Weighs In

By now, you've surely read the catty, wonderfully negative things that The Hills star Audrina Patridge said about co-star Heidi Montag's Miss Universe pageant performance.

Well, we exclusively got our hands on a little email, which according to Heidi, was sent from Audrina, apologizing for her "misconstrued" comments.

Audrina writes:

"Hii Heidi,

I want to apologize for what seems like a very negative comment that I made about you over the weekend. It was taken entirely out of context and twisted completely. I would NEVER speak like that about you to the press, and I'm actually truly impressed with your performance and all of the hard work that you've put towards your career. Not that it matters at this point because the press have taken it to another level, but I was at a press junket and the journalist asked me if I could sing…I laughed and said that I was NO Mariah Carey. They asked me what I thought about your performance and I told them I knew you were having a blast and working very hard and that you had an amazing opportunity to perform on TV in front of a huge audience. The journalist asked me if I would ever do a record, and I laughed it off and said something along the lines of 'no, I think I’d offend people in the industry who can really sing.' It was NEVER intended to be a jab towards you – I was talking about my own lack of vocal skills. Ugh. I’m so sorry."

How nice. We guess with Kristin Cavallari running the show over on The Hills now, these girls know that you have to keep your friends close and your frienemies closer.

I wonder how Audrina feels about Heidi sending her email to Perez Hilton.. Anyways, here is what Spencer had to say about the comments Audrina made, and her apology:

Miss USA: Heidi Was 'Pretty Good'

Kristin Cavallari isn't the only one who was impressed with Heidi Montag's Miss Universe performance.

Miss USA Kristen Dalton tells Usmagazine.com she thought Montag's rendition of "Body Language" wasn't bad.

"I thought it was pretty good because she's known as being a reality TV star, so it's cool that she came out as a performer, as a dancer and singer," Dalton, 22, tells Us.

"I thought she did a great job as a performer," she adds of Montag.

Anderson Cooper Rips Heidi A New One

We always knew that Anderson Cooper was the silver fox, but we never knew just how sharp his claws were! Thanks to Heidi Montag and her Miss Universe performance, Anderson was ready to pounce and did just that, tearing Heidi (wife of our pal Spencer Pratt) to shreds, saying she has found a "fresh new way to embarrass herself."

Cooper put the hard news on hold this week to dedicate two minutes to eviscerating Montag and her performance, starting off his rant with the following: "I don't really know who this person is, nor why she is pretending to be a singer nor why anyone should listen to her, but apparently she's famous."

He continued, saying that Montag is "so famous she actually Twitters.... And she Twittered to congratulate herself. She tweeted she had so much fun, and she also thanked God. I don't think God had anything to do with this production."

Was Anderson Cooper too harsh on Heidi?
	Yes, she tried her best, and shouldn't be criticized.
	Not at all! I couldn't have said it better myself!

Stephanie Pratt: Alexa Chung Chick

Hitting up the promotional circuit, Stephanie Pratt was spotted out visiting MTV studios in New York City on Monday afternoon (August 24).

Looking sexy in a shiny silver ensemble, the Hills hottie dropped by It’s On With Alexa Chung in Times Square to boost interest in the upcoming season of her hit reality show.

Meanwhile, Miss Pratt had nothing but compliments for sister-in-law Heidi Montag’s performance at the Miss Universe beauty pageant.

“Heidi looks bangin’ [in Playboy], but even better was her Miss Universe [performance] last night,” she told MTV News. “Freaked out. ... I was on a stool, just, like, ‘I cannot wait for this!’ I love ‘Body Language.’ Blown away. She’s never looked better. I thought she did absolutely amazing. I think she really could have blown it, and I really think this is a career possibility.”

“When I first met her, she said she wanted to be a pop star, and this was like three years ago,” Steph added. “Who really can be a pop star unless you’ve been singing and dancing forever? We’ve never seen Heidi take a dance class or anything like that.”

Kristin Weighs In On Heidi's 'Performance'

We know what Erin Lucas thought of Heidi's Miss Universe, but what did Kristin think?

"I was really impressed," the Hills star told Usmagazine.com at the Nylon magazine party last night. "It reminded me of Britney Spears at the VMAs when she ripped off her suit and was, like, nude with sparkles. She kind of looked like that." Ya think?

She also said, "She looked like she'd put a lot of hard work into it, and it paid off." Is she serious?

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt: Back in LA

Returning from their trip to Paradise Island, Bahamas, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were spotted landing at LAX International Airport last night (August 24).

The Hills lovers were all smiles, as usual, as they encountered the waiting paparazzi, striking several poses as they made their way through the terminal.

Heidi and Spencer were in the Caribbean for the 2009 Miss Universe Pageant, where Montag gave her first “live” performance, lip-synching her new single “Body Language.”

And while the actual performance was widely panned, Heidi’s nude-colored ensemble and massive cleavage-baring tendencies have drawn plenty of attention from critics.

Kristin Cavallari: Nylon Magazine September '09

TheRealKristinC "Buy the September issue of Nylon Magazine! :) xoxo" about 28 minutes ago from TwitPic
TheRealKristinC "Checkout the September issue of Nylon Magazine to see my latest shoot! :)" about 30 minutes ago from web

I'm pretty sure that this is NOT Kristin's real Twitter account. I believe that hers is Cavawhatt, but I could be wrong - if you have any information on her real Twitter account, let me know! Regardless of what is real or not, I do know that this is September's issue of Nylon Magazine.

Erin Lucas: Not A Heidi Montag Fan

In other Twitter news, former City star, Erin Lucas, posted her straight-to-the-point opinion of Heidi Montag's Miss Universe performance from her Twitter page, "PUKE IN MOUTH. THIS BITCH IS MAKING A MOCKERY OF THE MUSIC BUSINESS." Well said, Ms. Lucas.

Spears vs. Montag: Who Wore It Better?

Heidi Montag Pratt's flesh-toned pants and bra combo from the Miss Universe pageant reminded us of rather famous outfit worn by Britney Spears.

During the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards, the 'Circus' superstar ripped off a layer of clothing to reveal her very nude costume.

Now, we know that Britney Spears, even these days, can kick Heidi's butt when it comes to performing, but as far as the outfit goes..

Who's barely-there outfit do you prefer?
	Britney Spears
	Heidi Montag

Heidi Montag - Miss Universe? Hardly!

Heidi Montag is scheduled to perform at this tonight's Miss Universe pageant in the Bahamas, but pageant production staffers are taking bets as to whether or not it will actually go down -- because she's just that bad!

Sources tells us pageant peeps are concerned that Heidi just can't pull it off. We're told "she's lip-syncing and can't remember the lyrics" (to her own song!!!), "looks like a trainwreck," and "she can't dance."

But she's got Jesus on her side, so we're sure it will turn out just fine.

Heidi Montag's New Song: The Oh Snap! Poll

The mind-blowingly unscientific results are in, and they're not so good for Montag. 64 percent of the folks we talked to gave "Body Language" the thumbs down, many citing the weakness of her voice as their reason for voting nay. Interestingly, the 36 percent who endorsed the track were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the beat and the effectiveness of the hook.

Speidi Peddle Playboy, Head to Bahamas

Heading off to the Bahamas, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt continued their special brand of self promotion as they arrived at LAX Airport in Los Angeles for a departing flight on Thursday (August 20).

Proudly displaying Heidi’s sexy Playboy magazine cover, the Hills co-star couple smiled and waved at paparazzi as they passed through security on the way to the departures gate.

On the way to Paradise Island for the Miss Universe Pageant - during which Heidi will be a performer - the MTV vixen posted to her Twitter page, saying “I have butterflies. I am having my first performance in 3 days!!!”

The pageant’s host Billy Bush made a request of Ms. Montag, replying, “i am also excited to hear you sing...don’t lip synch mama, i’ll be right there on stage with you...i want LIVE, no net!” to which Heidi replied, “haha don’t worry my performance at Miss. Universe will be as live as can be!!”

Heidi & Spencer Behave Like Divas, SHOCK!

As we mentioned weeks ago, Heidi Montag will be performing at the 2009 Miss Universe Pageant this coming Sunday at the Atlantis Paradise Island resort in the Bahamas.

But, already reports are coming out that Miz Montag is being all divalicious. And they aren't too fond of her hubby, Spencer Pratt, either.

Insiders say: "They're a complete nightmare. Heidi has missed many rehearsals" while "Spencer tried to demand that the hotel pay him to lay by the pool."

And that's after being comped on the cabanas. The insider adds, "The Atlantis laughed in his face."

As for Heidi's rep, they say, "It's absolutely untrue. She's been rehearsing in LA five days a week for the show, and Spencer hasn't spoken with the Atlantis."

Who to believe….?

Heidi Montag Preps for Miss Universe Pageant

Showing off her sexy physique, Heidi Montag was busy rehearsing her dance choreography for her new single “Body Language” in Los Angeles on Wednesday (August 19).

The MTV reality vixen is currently preparing for her big performance at the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant in the Bahamas on August 23rd.

In related news, Heidi chatted with Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show, telling that she’s up for another round of Playboy - and this time she’ll show more skin.

She tells: “It was just such a fun experience and I tapped into a different side of myself. I had a lot of fun doing the photoshoot… more of those to come! Always leave them asking for more. So, next time I have more to reveal.”

Miss Montag added: “For me personally, I feel like God created the body and the body is beautiful… that’s the way God created us, naked! So, I am not ashamed of it. I’m proud of it and especially because I worked out so hard. This was such a blessed experience.”

Heidi, We've Got Your Back!

Okay, folks. We've only got 20 days until the Miss Universe Pageant, but I think that's enough time to help newlywed Heidi Montag Pratt. As you all know, she'll be belting out her latest song at the pageant on Aug. 23, but there's an elephant in the room that could stand in front of her success: She can't sing (as evidenced here and here)! As an avid fan of The Hills, I do not want to see my favorite bimbo blonde bombshell crash and burn as she tries to pursues other opportunities. And since Heidi's skills as an entertainer lie more in the realm of reality TV villain than songstress, I've decided to give her some words of wisdom to prepare for her big day.

• No matter how challenging the performance may be: don't quit! While ditching the show, then returning, then ditching the show again didn't get you stoned on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, the producers of the pageant may not be as forgiving.
• Get the dance moves down before the show. Stumbling through them, a la Britney Spears at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, won't push your new career in the right direction.
• Don't be afraid to employ the help of a reputable stylist to help you look the part of a music star, even if your voice suggests otherwise. I know you'd prefer to wear pieces from your clothing line Heidiwood, but fashion doesn't seem to be your calling.
• It's best if you learn the words before cameras start rolling, but should you forget, take a page from Jessica Simpson's book and smoothly yell "Ooops" and tell the audience how embarrassed you are. Hopefully, they'll have some sympathy.
• Beware of lip syncing. If it can hurt Kanye West, Madonna and even Milli Vanilli, it can't do much good for you.

Have I missed anything? What other advice would you give Heidi to prevent the likely embarrassment she'll face because of the performance?

Bonus: Which other reality star turned hopeful singer would you rather see perform?
	Brooke Hogan
	Kim Zolciak from "Real Housewives of Atlanta"
	Paris Hilton (remember her single "Stars are Blind"?)
	All of them make me gag.
