GLAMOUR: How is the L.C. of today different from the one who moved to L.A. fresh out of high school?

LAUREN CONRAD: I learned very fast that this is a business, not a playground. Your career affects a lot of other people’s careers—they depend on you to do your job. In Hollywood, you grow up quick.

GLAMOUR: And you definitely had to; you endured a lot of criticism on The Hills.

LAUREN CONRAD: It got to the point where I was afraid to go online. I lived without cable or Internet for an entire year.

GLAMOUR: How did you turn it back on?

LAUREN CONRAD: I finally realized that [gossip] wasn’t going to hurt me. I have my family and friends, and I get to do what I love. Is any of that taken away because one person called me ugly? No.

GLAMOUR: Do you ever feel pressure to be super skinny?

LAUREN CONRAD: I’ve never felt a push to be stick thin. I work out and eat healthy, so mostly it’s about being in shape and having energy. But about a year ago, I looked down and thought, I have cellulite. Where did that come from? I went through treatments; [my body] was like, It’s not going anywhere. Recently my boyfriend and I went to Cabo. We sat down on the beach, I took off my wrap and some woman pointed out a boat full of paparazzi. I was like, “There goes my tan.”
