Being in the spotlight takes a toll on the stars of The Hills, and Heidi Montag, Audrina Patridge, and Stephanie Pratt (reportedly) are among those MTV reality stars who have resorted to plastic surgery in order to enhance their looks.I caught up with Hills grads, Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port, to get their views on why their co-stars go under the knife, and how they stay beautiful naturally.
“I think it’s a personal thing,” Whitney, who has moved on to The City, tells me. “If they feel like it’s necessary and it’s going to make them feel more confident, then more power to them.”
For Lauren, the need for plastic surgery stems from growing fame.
“It’s hard because you’re in that position where you’re being criticized for everything,” Lauren tells me. “It’s hard because do you ignore it, and try to be beautiful on your own and be happy with the way you look, or do you listen to the criticism. They put them on this platform, and they tear them apart and then they criticize them even more for changing themselves. It’s hard to say. I think you just try and be confident with the way you are.”
