Who is Heidi Montag?

Heidi Montag (born September 15, 1986) is a cast member of the MTV reality television series The Hills and is also an aspiring singer.

In the summer of 2005, MTV began filming the lives of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County's Lauren Conrad's college friends for her Laguna Beach spin-off reality show. Montag became famous for sharing an apartment with Conrad while studying at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles, California. Montag left the Fashion Institute in autumn 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 she has no plans to return to fashion school. Heidi's promotion left many MTV viewers wondering if it was a stunt for the cameras, as another of Heidi's coworkers, Elodie, seemed much more qualified for the job and had been at Bolthouse longer. In fact, when Heidi first mentioned the idea of her doing the event planner job, Brent Bolthouse almost seemed to laugh at the idea.
