The Hills

Lauren Conrad: I Was Not Fired from Teen Vogue

January 12, 2008

Did The Apprentice head for The Hills?

Lauren Conrad has parted ways with Teen Vogue, where she worked as an intern, but the 21-year-old reality star says nobody told her: “You’re fired.”

“No, no, it was a decision I made because I was kind of done,” she told PEOPLE on Friday at the opening of the Jimmy Choo Flagship store on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. “I’ve been doing it for about two years, so I’m kind of done.”

Conrad hasn’t found another part-time job — “Honestly, I can’t tell you because I haven’t decided yet. I’m looking,” she said at the opening, which raised money for the Entertainment Industry Foundations’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund — but is leaning toward something in the fashion world. “I really like working backstage at fashion shows, so I’m looking kind of in production,” she says. “I love it. It’s like the most amazing high. It’s like the best feeling.”

Of course, she also has her day job — being Lauren Conrad on MTV’s popular The Hills, which is returning for another season.

So, will we see her with a guy on the show? “I hope so!” she says. – Mike Fleeman and Jenny Sundel

Working there is such a waste of her time.

I don’t understand why she was working at teen vogue anyways, although I enjoyed watching her when she worked backstage at fashion shows, she is right, I’ve been there before and trust me it’s the most amazing high.

Lauren sounds ungrateful for the amazing opportunity that Teen Vogue has given to her. “after 2 years, i’m just done”. Being in the fashion industry myself, her attitude just makes me sick. I love the show, and I’ll keep watching…naturally.

How about Teen Vogue being unprofessional and talking to WWD saying she was fired, now that’s unprofessional. I just wish she will be quiet sometimes, some rumors are just not worth responding to.

She needs to move on from that office she was sitting in all the time with Whitney and talking about things that didn’t matter. She doesn’t need to be an intern for two plus years, she is not being promoted so why stay there and waste her time.

Who is this girl, and why is she always in the news?

I don’t believe her. Lauren never deserved that internship, and frankly, I think the only reason she got it was so that Teen Vogue would have a good publicity stint. She should have been fired in season one, at the Young Hollywood party where her only job was to keep the VIP section for the VIPs. But of course, she just had to let her friends in.

It sickens me that Lauren Conrad has become this famous and that so many people look up to her. She is an ungrateful, attention-seeking person, and it is unfair that so many deserving people out there lost the internship to her.
