Biography |
Heidi Montag (born September 15, 1986 in Crested Butte,
Colorado) is an American reality television celebrity best
known for appearing on the MTV reality television series The
Hills. Montag is also an aspiring singer.
In the summer of 2005, MTV began filming the lives of Laguna
Beach cast member Lauren Conrad and her college friends for
her spin-off reality show, The Hills. Montag's reality TV
career began with a few appearances on season two of MTV's
Laguna Beach. Montag's friendship with Conrad led to a
featured role in The Hills, which premiered on May 31, 2006.
Montag was featured in the series sharing an apartment with
Conrad while studying at the Fashion Institute of Design &
Merchandising in Los Angeles. Montag left the Fashion
Institute in fall of 2005 when she was hired as an intern at
Bolthouse Productions. According to Montag, she dropped out
because she "did not find the school challenging". Within
two years, Montag was promoted from intern to event planner
at Bolthouse, and has no plans to return to fashion school.
Montag appeared in every episode of seasons one and two of
The Hills, and appeared in season three, which aired on MTV
on August 13, 2007.
The nature of Montag's role in future seasons of The Hills
is unclear since she is no longer living with Conrad.
Despite a major role on the show, she did not appear on The
Hills: Finale After Party, broadcast live from MTV's New
York headquarters or The Hills: MTV Canada Finale After Show
(filmed at MTV's Toronto studios).
At The Hills: MTV Canada Finale After Show, cast member
Audrina Patridge made it public that she no longer speaks
with or sees Montag.
Montag has discussed taking acting classes, saying she hopes
The Hills will help her jump start a film career. She has
expressed a desire to have appearances in "some movies" in
addition to "a couple of hit albums". In a recent Blender
Magazine interview, Montag revealed her intentions of one
day winning an Academy Award.
As of February 2007, Montag is working on recording an album
with producer David Foster (Brody Jenner's stepfather). She
describes the sound as "very fun, fresh, sexy" Montag danced
as a child, thus reportedly plans to do "a lot of
performing" in connection with the album. Additionally, she
indicates that a lot of her songs "will be very sexual."
It was also reported that Montag is on a one-song contract
with Warner Bros. and not a full studio contract, as both
Montag and her fiance, Spencer Pratt, had claimed.
On August 16, 2007, Ryan Seacrest premiered Montag's song,
"Body Language", featuring Pratt rapping, on his KISS-FM
radio show. Both Montag and Pratt denied the song was her
intended first single with Pratt telling Us Weekly that the
tune, "was a song Heidi and I were doing for fun. Never
would I rap on her first single!"
Despite dropping out of fashion school in 2005, Montag has
reportedly been signed as the new spokesperson for Anchor
Blue Clothing Company and will also design her own line for
the company. The line will be called "Heidiwood" and will be
priced between $10 - $60.
Montag began dating Jordan Eubanks in 2005 and their
relationship was featured on season one of The Hills. Montag
broke off her relationship with Eubanks in the spring of
2006, a move that she has described as "the best decision of
[her] life" and "something that [she] should have done
earlier".
In the summer of 2006, Montag started dating fellow Hills
cast member, Pratt, a former manager of Brody Jenner, met
Montag through Jenner's then-girlfriend, Laguna Beach's
Kristin Cavallari. Season two of The Hills (which aired from
January through April of 2007) focused on Montag's
relationship with Pratt and its effect on her friendships
with Conrad and Patridge. On The Hills' season two finale,
Montag moved out of her apartment with Conrad to live with
Pratt.
In May 2007, Montag and Pratt announced their engagement.
Fans of The Hills have speculated that the engagement is
fake, a claim that both Montag and Pratt deny.
After months of speculation and rumors, Montag admitted to
undergoing a breast augmentation and rhinoplasty in April of
2007. |
