"The Hills" are alive with the sounds of Montag.
Depending on whom you ask, Heidi Montag is the villainess on the hit MTV reality show "The Hills." But ask Montag, and she'll sing a different tune: She's merely the outcast friend who is portrayed as the troublemaker by star Lauren Conrad.
Regardless, Montag, 21, has used the drama to her advantage. Her fashion line, Heidiwood, is sold at Kitson and Anchor Blue. And with the help of her manager/boyfriend, Spencer Pratt, she is releasing her first official single, appropriately titled "Fashion," after previous song "Higher" leaked online.
"The Hills" ended Season 3 in May with Pratt, 24, flying to Vegas to reclaim Montag after a broken engagement. In the new season, starting at 9 p.m. Monday, viewers will meet Montag's older sister, Holly, 24, an aspiring filmmaker who once lived with Montag and Conrad.
"Holly and Lauren were inseparable for a while," Montag says. "But they stopped being friends when Lauren and I stopped being friends."
Even though "The Hills" chronicles Conrad's life (it's the most watched TV show among women 18-24), it's her feud with Montag that's grabbing most of the attention. The falling-out began when Conrad expressed her dislike for Pratt. Montag blames Conrad for telling co-star Audrina Patridge to drop her as a friend, even though Montag introduced them. All hell broke loose when Pratt and Montag claimed Conrad had shot a sex tape with ex-beau Jason Wahler.
"I don't even want to talk about that," Montag says. "There were rumors about a sex tape, but I had nothing to do with that. God knows the truth in all of this, and at the end of the day, that is the only thing that matters. Jesus was persecuted, and I'm going to get persecuted, ya know?"
Celebrity magazines give little coverage to Montag's and Pratt's Christianity. Montag identifies herself as "kind of non-denominational Baptist" and hopes to release a Christian album one day.
"I have been the most religious person since I was 2 years old. I always felt this crazy connection to God," says Montag, who grew up in Colorado with Holly, brother Sky, 15, and her since-divorced parents.
But while Jesus preached forgiveness, Montag says "Hills" fans should not hold their breaths for a big reunion for her and Conrad. "I don't think people are ever going to get that," she says emphatically. Even so, if Conrad offered an olive branch, Montag would accept. "She'll always have a place in my heart."
A more likely scenario: Montag and Pratt will wrap up their time on "The Hills" after this season and launch their own MTV reality series along the lines of "Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica "-- Montag's all-time favorite show.
Any concern such constant camera presence could lead her and Pratt down the same doomed path as the since-divorced Lachey and Simpson?
"I don't really feel that way," she says. "You're either going to make it as a couple or you're not. I love cameras, but the cameras aren't with us when we're falling asleep at night.
"The show's going to be about our lives, and it's such a blessing to be doing this."

Just go away into the sunset you two!!!!
^thank you.she just need to go away!what will she do when the hills end.
I love that this religious girl lives in sin and sleeps with her boyfriend.
A "nondemoninational baptist"-- is she serious? There is no such thing. Baptist is a denomination within Christianity.
"non-denominational" sorry. Although "demoninational" might fit for her.
its laurens fault that her and audrina arent friends? ok cmon now what "selective memory" she has here.
i like how lauren gets blamed, it's her show so the producers will protray people the way the want to. and the comments that were said in S3 at Ketchup leads me to beleive she aint so innocent in the whole thing. and she just recently started talking about her religion so maybe she just found it because i havent seen it in previous activity.
did anyone see that special on MTV about Us Weekly's top 10 Hills moments. Heidi is still claiming that the whole feud is because Lauren doesnt like her bf but helllooooo there are reasons for that. i'm over heidi and spencer, i dont watch the show because of them.
wow could she be any more airbrushed in that picture?
she looks pretty in that pic.
