Lauren Conrad is donating her 2008 Teen Choice Award to a 12-year-old leukemia patient, TMZ reported Wednesday.

Pat Pedraja , who lost a shot at a $100,000 grand prize in this year’s Do Something Contest, was recently presented with a $10,000 and an iPod, courtesy of Conrad. And soon the young activist will have LC’s Teen Choice surfboard as a token of his brave battle against leukemia.

Conrad met the kid, Pat Pedraja, at a Teen Choice pre-party Saturday where she presented him with $10,000 check from Do Something for his work recruiting bone marrow donors from minorities across the country.

“I didn’t win the Do Something Award and was a little sad,” Pat wrote on the organization’s Web site. “When Lauren won her award … she dedicated the award to ME and my work! That made me feel special! Lauren didn’t have to tell me that I was amazing, she didn’t have to go out of her way to give me a present and she didn’t have to dedicate her award to me, but SHE DID. Simple, kind and generous gestures like this make all the difference to me and I will never forget it!”

Thanks PopCrunch for the info.

It’s certainly no surprise anymore that Conrad’s line of “basic” clothing isn’t doing too hot, especially since the collection was dropped from Kitson’s a mere month prior to the day. Though it probably won’t do much good, the crowd seems to be giving Conrad one last stab at success. When Conrad appears as a presenter at the Emmy’s on September 21st she won’t be alone; whose going to be right behind her? Her models! And yes, they will be dressed in full LC attire as they hand out the awards to joyous winners. This should be…interesting?

Leading lady, Miley Cyrus, hit the stage in boots and a dress accessorized to completion.

Favorite Ed Westwick hit the show dressed to impress while picking up his surfboard for favorite TV villain in confident style.

High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens strutted the blue carpet with her favorite pair of black pumps and a chic dress. The outfit was simple, but it didn’t go unnoticed. Vanessa took home the surfboard for choice female hottie.

Living up to their reputation, the Jonas Brothers were ready to perform in their fashionable outfits. The brothers picked up six surfboards throughout the night.

Selena Gomez hit the awards in the perfect blue dress.

Picking up his surfboard for TV actor in a drama, Chad Michael Murray hit the show with high expectations. The One Tree Hill star’s outfit was less than impressive.

Rachel Bilson snagged a surfboard for her performance in Jumper. The star hit the scene in a blue dress with great heels to match.

Up for two surfboards, Sophia Bush went for a flowy floral pick as she sat on the edge of her seat for choice TV actress in a drama and choice TV show for a drama.

Much to our surprise, Kim Kardashian hit the blue carpet in style. We’re impressed, she doesn’t quite look like a bag of trash! Kim was up for two surfboards: choice TV celebrity reality and choice TV female reality/variety star.

Representing her hit show Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester took home TV breakout star for a female and choice TV show for a drama. Leighton was also up for choice TV actress for a drama. The gal looked as if she barely stepped out of character with her fashionable dress and pumps to match.

Lauren Conrad picked up two surfboards for choice TV female reality/variety star as well as choice TV celebrity reality. I guess even though her clothing line utterly failed, some things managed to work out.

David Beckham showed up at the Teen Choice Awards with wife Victoria. He was looking great and dressed to impress as he posed with his surfboard.

Hayden Panettiere was nominated for choice TV actress and choice TV show as the show began. Hayden showed up in a girlie pink pick with an elegant flair.

Ms. Lively showed up to the awards ready to get recognized for her success. As she showed up in a stylish purple gettup, the actress took home surfboards for choice TV actress in a drama and choice TV breakout show.

Chace Crawford and Zac Efron came to the awards with fashion at the forefront. Chace took home breakout male star and choice TV breakout show.

Though the Teen Choice Awards haven’t premiered yet, we’ve snagged a sneak peak at our favorite young Hollywood indies. As Miley Cyrus, woman in charge, took the stage to answer to her hosting responsibilities the night took off with a splash. With awards like breakout performance and breakout show, the surfboards were up for grabs and everyone was in awe of the results. The blue carpet didn’t stand alone; celebrities strutted their stuff with a fashion foot forward as cameras flashed before the show. Check out the Teen Choice Awards tonight at 8pm on FOX.

Thanks to Just Jared for the pics!

Lauren Conrad-and a giant camera lens-cover this week’s edition of Entertainment Weekly. In her cover story with EW, the wealthy fashion maven, poked fun at her ever-present entourage of paparazzi (hence the cover photo). The Princess of MTV also offered a few spoilers on the new season of The Hills, debuting August 18th at 10 p.m.

“It’s about empowering girls,” Lauren says of the explosive reaity series. “You’re gonna have bad boyfriends and best friends-turned-enemies. You need to be yourself, you need to work hard and you’ll get there.”

Read the entire interview here.

The Hills’ Lauren Conrad is featured on the September 2008 issue of CosmoGirl, on newsstands August 5.

“I’m not a tortured soul. Can you imagine being 22 and having your parents know everything about you?”

The problem with this comment is that it was her choice to star in reality tv shows, no one forced her to do it, and no one will feel sorry for her because her life is exposed to the world around her, including her parents.

A few key fashion insiders have told Pop Tarts that LC is more the “celebrity face” behind her label and that her Creative Director Sherry Wood (the designer for former fashion label Tart) is pretty much responsible for all those chic girly garments.

LC was also reportedly heard telling pals at a Hollywood club recently that she “can’t even draw a sketch” after being asked for some advice from an aspiring fashion designer.

Is this a surprise to anyone? I hope not, cuz as I remember Lauren went to Fashion Merchandising school not design. But, that’s just a minor detail when you are a celebrity with tons of money and too much time on your hands.

It was inevitable, and everyone of us was hoping for it, we even had bets going..wait that was Amy Winehouse’s death. Anyways, this officially in, Lauren Conrad’s line was dropped from Kitson, the hot LA boutique, for not enough promo on Lauren’s part and very poor sales. Sound familiar? Yes, same thing happened to Vicky Beckham.

Kitson owner Fraser Ross states; They need to realize it’s no different than selling your album, your TV shows,  your movies. You have to keep promoting it.”

Quite a number of people came together in New York City last night in order to get their peak at the premiere of the film The Dark Night. Celebrities came prepared to pose for the camera, remember Heath Ledger with his friends and family, and of course, watch a great movie. These fashionistas came to the premiere prepared to make a statement.

Perez Hilton is releasing a line with Hot Topic. Metromix met up with the blogger to talk about his new line. He basically bashed Lauren Conrad’s collection and says his is better cause it’s wearable and cheap (also see made my Chinese children in sweatshops). Alright, I won’t suddenly proclaim my love for Lauren’s trash, but it’s surely better than this fucking shit pile of steaming vomit inducing hoodies and accessories.

I especially enjoy the idea that he believes that people will want to wear his collection cause it defines what his readers want.  If this is true then Perez’s audience is filled with idiotic TRL watching 16 year olds from the 1990’s.

Included in the mix of “fashions” are rubber bands and notebooks.  Oh god, this has got to be the worst thing to ever happen in the world of collaborations. Hot Topic, listen up, drop this line before it causes even more people to turn their back on your collections. Hire a real designer to revitalize your currently shitty offering and get off the Perez bandwagon.

If you need it, I can make a list of about a dozen indies out there who can do a better job than Perez’s half assed attempt at fashion.

Don’t Move While Lauren Conrad Captures Your Soul

Here’s a quicky for you indies. Lauren Conrad, that chick from the brain draining The Hills (like you didn’t already know that), will be designing an accessories line for (drumroll please)… AVON!!

Thank god. I haven’t picked up an Avon catalog in, well, um, never cause I’m a dude and Avon’s for poor folk and Middle American’s (let the hate mail begin), so I will not be forced to vomit all over a copy of the pamphlet when I turn to the Lauren Conrad page filled with cheap ass jewelry and handbags for Avon’s Mark collection.

More after the jump.

Nothing says you’re a deranged groupie better than making yourself look like your favorite celebrity. Ford Models is ready to help you look like Lauren Conrad with the perfect Hills-inspired side ponytail.  It requires the use of hair extensions.  Please, please rock this look so that when I see you on the street I can yank your ponytail off, parade around pumping a tommy hawk in the air like an Indian (Native American for all you PC bastards) and then return to my teepee to celebrate the death of another Lauren Conrad clone.

There are few things in our society more annoying to me than The Hills. On a scale of one to ten, one being a fly in the room, ten being the War in Iraq, The Hills hits a 20 on my scale of shit I can’t stand.

Of course, that’s coming from someone who’s never watched the show and is only commenting on how such television brain crack is destroying the gentle fabric of the female in todays society.  This show is the equivalent of a womans version of the WWE.  Weak story plots, overhyped off camera squabbles, and a mind numbing vocabulary level sprinkled with “likes”, “ums” and “totally’s” make this show as interesting as watching Lauren Conrad run her fingers through her hair in an attempt to look “contemplative”.

As much as I would love this scripted reality series to go away (scripted reality basically means they couldn’t afford real actors so they found a bunch of no names with little talent to spew out random lines) it seems it’s hitting a catalystic tipping point; the cover of Rolling Stone!!!

Under the title “The Truth About The Hills” Rolling Stones attempts to reconnect with their long lost female reader by channeling their inner Us Weekly.  I hope the magazine stays on the shelf and becomes their lowest seller ever, but alas that probably won’t happen since a photo of all four girls together can fetch a paparazzi $200,000 (and a good marksman major cred in my book).

Hopefully the only “Truth” that’s revealed in this issue is a cancellation of the show. Of course, that would probably put a couple of writers, like, totally out of a job or something, right?

Lauren Conrad is officially invading my territory so I feel this is the best time to tell the bitch to back the fuck up.  College Tonight, a social networking site aimed at campus communities, has just hired the failed designer to talk about her opinions on fashion, style and being a complete pimple on the ass of society.

I wonder if this will pull from her time as an intern/reality star/designer.  It’s called stretching yourself thin Lauren, something Paris has a ton of experience in.  Pull the reigns or face the terror of being so in everyone’s face, they all turn on you, and move on to something younger.

Another forgettable star of The Hills is coming out with a line of clothes.  Whitney Port will be creating a contemporary label called Eve & A to compete with queen bee’s Lauren Conrad’s line of Rachel Pally knock-offs.  The collection will be geared towards girls who hate being second banana so expect some accessories perfect for back-stabbing.

For those of you who don’t know who Whitney is, she’s the less interesting on in the picture at left.

We haven’t blessed anyone here for some time, preferring to Bash the hell out of some folks lately, but Stacy London (What Not To Wear) deserves some praise for her hot fire against television car crash (you just can’t look away) Lauren Conrad of The Hills.

At DIFFA’S Dining by Design gala last week stayed spewed this joynius, “I work with underprivileged girls, mostly minorities, who hate themselves because they don’t look like Lauren Conrad,” she fumed to All Steel’s gorgeous designer, Sarah Kloepfer. “Who the fuck wants to look like the girls on ‘The Hills’? They’re complete nitwits. Success is about more than acquiring a Hermes bag.”

Tell us how you really feel Stacey.  This may be the greatest thing a fashion person has ever said about Lauren Conrad, seriously.

The reality-celebrity is a West Coast invention. As a former Los Angeles resident, and a native Angeleno, I can tell you living there is a bit like a Twilight Zone episode. Anything west of Sunset, is like driving into a David Lynch film. You have fake-actors pretending to be Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe along the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Fifteen photographers hounding some non-celebrity right next to homeless man begging for change. And all along Beverly Hills, aged beauty queens with more plastic in them than Amanda Lepore.

In short, it’s all about whoring yourself out.

With the new season of ‘The Hills‘ premiering tonight, a new trend in whoring yourself has begun. Whoring yourself into credibility. Or at least trying to. Lauren Conrad has been everywhere this past week, reminding us that her ambition is not to be followed around by a camera crew but rather for FASHION! Because let’s remember fashion is newest career choice for the vapid. You know what being a model/actress was a decade ago.

In the Weekend Editon of the Wall Street Journal (Yes the great Wall Street Journal actually wrote an article about that chick from the Hills) Conrad’s ‘team’ talk about building the Conrad brand. Since the beginning of the Hills run, Conrad has had an agent by the name of Max Stubblefield. In their first meeting she stressed that her real interest was being a fashion designer. Thus her agent plunged into the ubiquity of celebrity branding. In the past two years, Stubblefield has landed Conrad numerous licensing and endorsement deals. That’s busnisness speak for ‘other people do the work and a relatively famous person puts their name on it’. Then last Tuesday, Conrad debuted her first collection at Los Angeles Fashion Week, the Special Olympics of all the fashion weeks. And how was her collection? I’d say she has a future in design, if she were designing for Forever 21 that is. Because her clothing were blatant rip off of other designers. But buyers don’t listen to me because her clothing is featured in 500 boutiques around the country!!!

Do you hear that Fashion Indie readers? That’s the sound of indie designers throwing themselves from their apartment windows cause they just realized that instead of heading to four years at an accredited school like my near and dear Parsons, they should have been out whoring themselves for MTV, Bravo, or any other camera crew willing to follow their sorry asses around. (I hear that Girls Gone Wild is back on the prowl, hmmm?)

The problem with Lauren Conrad can best be described as a major problem with society and our respect for the craft and dedication to the art of fashion.  Hopefully Ms. Conrad’s latest endevour fades faster than a Paris Hilton flick that doesn’t include a money shot.

If not she’ll always have the camera crews!
