From MTV's *The Hills*, Season 3, it may appear Heidi Montag misses her friendship with Lauren Conrad, but she tells Ellen DeGeneres differently. "It's kind of like a weight off my shoulders," Montag told DeGeneres in an interview, according to Usmagazine.com. "Towards the end of our relationship, she was just always yelling at me and nagging at me because she didn't like my boyfriend \[Spencer Pratt\]." Pratt seemed to get in the way of the friendship, reportedly spreading rumors that Conrad had a sex tape with her ex-boyfriend.  
  
Pratt and Montag are currently on the rocks in Season 3, as Montag jets off to Vegas for her job with Bolthouse Productions, but even with the troubles, Conrad does not have her back. Maybe it was the run-ins at popular California clubs, or Montag's plastic surgery and shaky music career, but it doesn't look like these two will be friends anytime soon.  
  
With Montag being friends with *Hills* costar Audrina Partridge, and Conrad classmates with Pratt's sister, Stephanie, there seemed to be hope for watchers, but Montag reported to *Us* and DeGeneres on their current *Rolling Stone* photo shoot, "They're all having fun and I'm like let's just get it done, I mean . . . awkward!"
