Audrina Opens Up About Mom's Drunken Tirade

Who could ever forget when Audrina Patridge's mom, Lynn, called her ex-Hills castmate Lauren Conrad a "pissy ass little fashion s**t" during a drunken rant last October?

Though Lynn has since apologized for the tirade, Patridge wanted to address the incident once and for all on her new VH1 reality show, Audrina.

"My mom had a little mishap with the paparazzi, and I really wanted to address that right away," Patridge explained during a recent visit to Us Weekly's NYC Offices. "I really wanted to give her the opportunity to voice what she thought on that situation."

"On The Hills, I was definitely the girl who dated a lot and went through all these ups and downs with relationships," she said. "You guys are going to see everything that kind of led up to Corey [Bohan] and I's breakup and all the rough times."

Lynn Patridge, Trump Share Kiss On "Audrina"

Donald Trump makes an appearance on this Sunday's episode of "Audrina" -- and so do his kissing skills, unfortunately.

Audrina Patridge and her mom, Lynn, stop into his N.Y.C. office to chat with him about possible job opportunities for Audrina.

Trump tells Audrina she's "beautiful and smart" and he'd love to have her as a contestant on "Celebrity Apprentice" or as a judge on "Miss Universe," which he produces.

He then gushes to the mother and daughter about how "fantastic" they are -- and that's when things get really creepy.

"I'll give her a small kiss," says the married Trump as he embraces Audrina.

"I'll give her a big kiss," Trump then says, referring to Lynn, who’s also married. "Come here!"

As Audrina looks on in horror, her mother and Trump share two kisses followed by a hug, another kiss and then some lingering hand-holding before Lynn finally tears herself away.

"Beautiful, wow," Trumps says -- and then licks his lips.

Be sure to have a bucket handy to throw up in Sunday when the episode airs on VH1 at 9pm.

Audrina Patridge Talks Family Role On Her Show

Even before Audrina Patridge's new VH1 show, "Audrina", debuted last Sunday, the Internet was abuzz about what her mom, Lynn, would bring to the show. In many ways, Lynn's the breakout star of the reality series, which follows Audrina's career, love life and family.

"I was not surprised at all that my mom was a breakout star," she told MTV News. "She's the life of the party everywhere we go and ever since we were little, everyone that meets my mom, they absolutely fall in love with her. She just has that personality and she's very blunt and says what she means, but it all comes out from a good place and she's so much fun and has the biggest heart. I was excited for her."

Audrina is, of course, no rookie when it comes to starring in a reality show. She spent years sharing life with the world as one of the breakout stars of MTV's "The Hills." Now, however, she's ready to show more than just Justin Bobby drama.

"I was really excited. You know, it's kind of crazy watching yourself again and reliving everything that you went through, but it was fun," she said of the debut episode of "Audrina."

"It's different and similar [to 'The Hills'], and in many ways I feel like it's different because it's really about my life outside of 'The Hills' world," she continued. "And so this is really up close and personal. My family's in it, my relationship's in it and my business is in it, my endorsements and everything, like, my dreams and goals and trying to achieve that."

And if you thought she shared a lot in the past, just wait till you see what happens in the show's upcoming episodes. "I really opened up and brought the cameras with me. ... This is me uncensored and it's my family uncensored," she teased. "What you see is what you get."

Audrina Patridge: I’m Lucky I Have Great Genes

With her slim frame, toned arms and legs and amazing abs, it’s easy to wonder how Audrina Patridge maintains her ridiculously hot body. Sure, a healthy, active lifestyle and a diet full of fish and veggies help, but as the star of VH1’s upcoming reality show, Audrina, admits, she has her mom — and 69-year-old grandmother — to thank. “When we go out, people think my mom is my sister and my grandmother is my mom!” she tells In Touch. “They’re gorgeous!” Of course, the body she’s now so thankful for didn’t always feel like a gift from the fairy godmother of good genes.

“In high school, I was so self-conscious because I was so thin. Girls would say, ‘Oh, you’re too skinny.’” Once the former Hills star took up Pilates and started adding muscle to her naturally slight frame, her self-esteem soared, and she currently holds the title of most confident among her two sisters, married mom-of-two Casey Patridge, 24, and 15-year-old high school sophomore Sammy. “I don’t know how she does what she does,” Casey tells In Touch of her sister’s glam, skin-baring spreads in magazines like Maxim. “But I think she’s always been flawless.”

While there’s been a lot of plastic surgery talk when it comes to Audrina’s transformation from girl-next-door cutie to total sexpot, she tells In Touch she’s never “done anything,” but doesn’t judge people who have. “To each their own,” she says. “I do think people take it to such a point where they regret it, though,” she adds.

With the whole Patridge family filming their ups and downs for Audrina — which debuts on April 17 — there will be no shortage of straight talk from Lynn Patridge, who dissed Lauren Conrad in a Hollywood.TV video that went viral late last year. “I’ve watched the Kardashians and I can tell you our family will blow theirs away!” says Lynn. “I don’t mean that as an insult, but what you see is what you get with us. We’re 100 percent real.”

"Audrina" Extended Trailer; Premieres 4/17

VH1′s new reality series Audrina, starring former Hills and Dancing With the Stars mainstay Audrina Patridge, premieres April 17 at 9 p.m.

The preview of the series opens just as you think it might: “What you’re about to see is my reality,” Audrina tells viewers. Then, it heads into montages of Audrina meant to make us believe that she is truly a working girl. “I’m a model. I’m a businesswoman. And I’m a celebrity.” Cue the shots of her doing photo shoots, attending business meetings, and avoiding the paparazzi. Oh my!

“But most importantly,” Audrina then adds, “I’m a daughter and I’m a sister.” And honestly, it’s that — Audrina’s crazy family life — which seems to have the most delicious, trainwreck-y potential for this show. There’s her wild-child sister Casey, of course, who seems ready to stir up drama, but notably, it’s her mother Lynn (who, as you might remember, went on a darkly hilarious drunken rant that was taped and went viral last fall) that seems like a future punching bag of Joel McHale’s on The Soup. Based on this trailer, Mama Lynn holds nothing back in Audrina. “My mom can get a little out of control,” the show’s star freely admits.

Can Audrina Really Carry Her Own Show?

When it came to The Hills, Audrina Patridge was the perfect sidekick. Her wide doe eyes always staring innocently up at something and crying over Justin Bobby or whatever guy was currently ruining her life provided a softer side alongside the insanity of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt. She was great in small doses, but now she's gone and gotten her own new reality show, Audrina, which premieres next month. Can we really handle an entire show about her?

It's set to premiere on VH1 April 17, and I'm not sure. It's said to involve her family as they try to keep her sane in the crazy Hollywood game.

But will we love it? The Hills is a pretty tough act to follow (and I'm being completely serious -- I'm still mourning its end).

She has a hot bod for sure. She's always prancing around in itty bitty bikinis showing off her amazing abs, but that alone does not a show make -- it just makes me jealous.

At least she can poke fun at herself, so that gives some hope for the show. Also starring on the show according toVH1 will be her "tell-it-like-it-is" mom Lynn and "peacemaking" dad Mark plus her three younger siblings:

"Former wild child Casey, now married to motocross star Kyle Loza and mother of two; genial younger brother and life of the party, Marky, who has recently become Audrina's new roommate; and 16-year-old sister Samantha, who is managing the perils of high school and always seeking advice from her loving big sister."

Sounds a little Kardashian-ish, no? Who would have ever thought Kim Kardashian could carry a whole show and everything else she and her uber entrepreneurial family have carried? Yet somehow that works. So perhaps there's a shot for Audrina after all.

Can Audrina carry a show on her own?
Yes, it's going to be great. I can't wait to watch.
No, she's just not relatable enough to have the lead role.

Audrina Patridge's Spinoff To Air On Vh1 In April

Former "The Hills" star and recent "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Audrina Patridge is moving on ... to VH1.

Patridge's VH1 show, called "Audrina," will premiere in April. The show, executive produced by Mark Burnett ("Survivor," "Sarah Palin's Alaska"), will follow Patridge as she tries to further her Hollywood career and with her family.

Mom Lynn has already gained some notoriety for a drunken screed following her daughter's elimination from "DWTS" in October; her dad, Mark, and younger siblings Casey, Marky and Samantha will also be featured. The family stuff will intertwine with tales of Audrina trying to advance her " acting, modeling and business career."

So why Audrina, VH1 executive vice president of original programming and production Jeff Olde?

"We love that Audrina's life plays out simultaneously on two levels. On one level, she is working hard to establish herself in the entertainment industry," Olde says. "But at the same time she has this amazingly real, supportive family in Orange County who keeps her grounded. Ultimately, this is the story of a young woman with dreams, goals and ambitions all put through the no-BS filter of her family. We love that."

Patridge will also be a producer of the show, along with Burnett, her manager Dave Fleming and Michael Bloom.

Lauren Conrad: I Disagree With Audrina's Mom

During her now-infamous drunken rant (for which she's since apologized), Audrina Patridge's mother called The Hills girls "tramps" and said that her daughter would fare better than Lauren Conrad, whom she called a "bitch."

But Lauren, 24, doesn't exactly see eye-to-eye with Mrs. Patridge, telling Us Magazine that she doesn't view Audrina, 25, as competition.

Asked Monday at the VH1 Save the Music Foundation Gala in NYC about Audrina's VH1 show, Lauren (who has her own MTV show in the works) told Us, "I think it's good for her. And no, I really don't think about it like that at all."

Asked if she had hurt feelings about Audrina's mom's rant, she told Us, "I really don't have a comment on that right now, thanks."

Audrina's Mom: 'Emotional' After Elimination

After calling Lauren Conrad a "pissy a-- little fashion s---" outside L.A.'s Beso restaurant Tuesday night, Audrina Patridge's mom Lynn is hoping to make amends.

"I am sincerely sorry for the negative things I said in the heat of the moment," Lynn tells Us Magazine in a statement.

After Audrina, 25, was voted off Dancing With the Stars, Lynn admitted to having at least "three glasses of wine" before cameras caught her mouthing off on her daughter's former Hills castmates.

"As a mother, there is no pain in this world like seeing your children upset," Lynn explains. "I am so proud of my daughter and all she has accomplished on Dancing with the Stars. I was extremely emotional after her elimination -- it just came as such a shock. I want to apologize for offending anyone."

Audrina Patridge's Mom: DWTS & 'Hills Tramps'

Audrina Patridge took her Dancing with the Stars elimination on Tuesday gracefully.

But her mother isn't going down so easy.

In an obscenity-laced rant caught on camera Wednesday night outside Hollywood hotspot Beso, Lynn Patridge swore her daughter was meant for bigger things and took aim at her daughter's former The Hills castmates.

"Audrina is going to f––ing rise. And She's got class ... She's a Polish, Catholic, f––ing full-on Italian," Lynn, smoking a cigarette, said into the camera. "Not only that, she was raised right."

During the five-minute diatribe, a friend attempted to intervene to stop the interview but Patridge, who admitted she'd been drinking, resisted.

"I've been a celebrity mom for eight years through this Hills" bull–," she said, "but Audrina is going to the next level... She's got it in her. She's a sweetie."

Lynne also addressed Audrina's surprise DWTS elimination. "One door closes, another one opens. I was proud of her," she says. "I've had so much fun this entire experience. Tony [Dovolani] has been such an amazing teacher."

And she picked her favorite to win the ballroom competition now that her daughter is out: "I hope Brandy wins, Brandy and Maks."

But she wasn't so nice when asked about the "Hills girls" – her daughter's costars in the MTV reality show. She called them "Hills tramps" and targeted Lauren Conrad in particular, calling her a "b––."

A rep for Audrina did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
