Audrina and Lauren Keep their Distance

Last season's finale for The Hills hinted that the chasm between best buds Audrina Patridge and Lauren Conrad had widened to such an extent that there was no bridging it.

The strain on their friendship coincided suspiciously with the arrival of Lauren's childhood friend, Lauren "Lo" Bosworth.

Since then, Audrina and her roomie have begun showing up separately to the same events—Lauren always quite tellingly with Lo and Audrina, well, not even in the same photo frame.

Most recently, the two Laurens hit up the opening of swank Orange County bowling alley Strike while Patridge was also on the premises. But the brunette didn't mingle much with her blond onetime BFF.

L.C. pooh-poohs any rumors of a feud, telling People, "There's a little bit of tension, but we'll work it out."

According to Audrina, "You can still be friends but just not be together all the time."

However, with what-does-she-see-in-him Justin Bobby back in the picture, interpersonal relations could take a turn toward the dark side for Patridge.

If that guy would just summon up some ambition, he could fashion Audrina into a dark-haired Heidi Montag.

Why not? She has already invested in the boobs.

“The new man in "Hills"star Audrina Patridge's life, Tal Cooperman, seems to be taking great lengths to not be seen with her.

Audrina joined Tal, who is a partner in DCMA clothing with Joel and Benji Madden, and some friends for a little hump night celebrating. The group started at Beso and then headed towards Avalon nightclub.

Tal was bound and determined to avoid being photographed together with his new girl and used his brightly dressed friend to pass on messages to Audrina who was walking separately down the road. All I want to know is was there note passing? I would love to see one that said, "Do you like me? Check a box."”

“Whoa... Whoa! Holdup! Lauren Conrad's lifelong sidekick Lo Bosworth looks annoyed!

The "Hills" gal was all up in arms as she exited Crown Bar in Los Angeles (where we also spotted Audrina Patridge). As she was greeted by packs of photographers, Lo (whose real first name is, ironically, Lauren) takes comfort in cuddling with a mystery male companion.

Girlfriend, if I were you, I'd be the opposite of annoyed. That guy is HOT!”

“Splash caught Audrina Patridge walking down Hollywood Boulevard with a friend looking super, super happy about all the male attention she was getting. She really has taken everything in stride, and she's only gotten more popular this year with all her nudie drama.

Justin Bobby was (predictably) nowhere to be found. Exclusive, my a$$.”

Honestly, this whole Laguna Beach/The Hills fad needs to fade out... These kids just got lucky cuz they're good looking and were in the right place at the right time. And are rich.

You've gotta give it to them tho- They know how to score more screen time. Specially Audrina and Lo. And Stephanie Pratt.
