Lauren Conrad for Allure Magazine

Lauren Conrad graces the cover of Allure magazine’s May 2011 issue - it marks the mag’s first iPad issue!

On being called ‘Reality Show Talent”: “They called me that, and I’m like, ‘What’s my talent?’”

On what she’d like to erase from her on-camera moments: “I was always a little bit embarrassed when I would be drunk on camera.”

On how she sees herself: “I’m not a sexy person. I’m OK with it. I’ve never been the sexy girl. Whenever I’ve had a boyfriend, he’s always been like, ‘Oh, you’re cute.’”

On her body issues: “It wasn’t ‘Lauren Debuts Her Line’; it was ‘Lauren Debuts a Fuller Figure,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, no!’ because I’d put on a few pounds….If I’m shopping and I see paparazzi, my bag goes directly to my thighs.”

MTV Passes on Lauren Conrad's New Reality Show

Last fall MTV announced that Lauren Conrad would be the focus of a new reality show about her growing fashion line for the network. As it turns out, MTV has passed on the series.

"We decided not to go ahead with the show," MTV's head of programming David Janollari tells Entertainment Weekly. "She did do a pilot. There were talks about whether we could somehow manage to put together a special based on that footage but that's also a big question mark based on her interest in that and the finances."

"We love her! We would love her on our network," Janollari says. "It was a great attempt but it just didn't feel like a perfect fit for us now."

Unlike the soapy, melodramatic The Hills, Conrad's new series was supposed to have more of a documentary feel to it.

Lauren has replied in a statement, she said:

"We sold a show to MTV, filmed it and are really proud of the final result. MTV felt the subject matter was too high brow for their audience and offered me the opportunity to change the show by incorporating more of my personal life. We agreed going into the project that this show would be an aspirational one, focusing on my career and my goals and not my personal relationships. We delivered the show that we sold and are sorry MTV didn’t feel their viewers were savvy enough to appreciate it."

It sounds to me like MTV just wants to make The Hills happen all over again. The show had its run, it had its strong popularity... but a show like that now is weak in comparison to their more controversial latest reality shows like Teen Mom and Jersey Shore. Lauren better take this project to VH1 instead.

On making a name for herself as a designer: “I’ve sacrificed and worked very hard to get where I am now. So whereas someone just getting out of fashion school may have to struggle for years to have the opportunity to start a clothing line, I’ve been working every single day since I was seventeen toward this. I’m also faced with different challenges. I go into meetings, and people have this preconceived notion of me that I didn’t work hard to get where I am.”

On Heidi Montag’s plastic surgery and Jason Wahler’s decision to join Celebrity Rehab: “They’ve moved on to a different life now. Being on a show like that is a lot more than people think. You’re thrust into the spotlight. There’s all this pressure to act a certain way. It’s hard to adjust. You have to decide early on whether or not you’re willing to do that.”

On her return to reality TV: “It’s going to be very different. I’m doing it on my own terms now. I get final editing approval. That was the only way I would agree to do it.”

Lauren Conrad Returing to Reality TV?

Get ready for LC's small-screen comeback!

Although Lauren Conrad left MTV's The Hills back in 2009 and has since become a bestselling author and successful fashion designer, the 24-year-old isn't done with TV.

An insider says in the new Us Weekly, out now, that Conrad is getting her very own reality show -- and that the networks have been fighting over it.

In an exclusive interview with Us, Conrad (who wouldn't confirm the new series) says her third go-round would be miles away from the drama and back-stabbing of Laguna Beach and The Hills.

"The only way I'd return to reality TV would be if it allowed me to decide when the cameras stop," she tells Us.

Lauren Conrad's Got Milk Ad

Lauren Conrad is the new face for the Got Milk? campaign and yesterday she unveiled her ad, which was picked by fan voters, will appear in all major magazines and billboards this summer.

Lauren Conrad's New Book Cover

Lauren Conrad tells PEOPLE exclusively that her new tome was, in fact, inspired by all of her fans. “The first book tour I went on, I had the opportunity to meet thousands and thousands of fans. The majority of the questions were about fashion,” explains Conrad. “It was fun to share all the things I had learned.” So what will you see in Lauren Conrad Style? Besides tons of never-before-seen photos and relatable advice from Conrad herself along with her glam squad, expect “personal stories, live and learn stories,” and yes, even “a couple of high school horror stories.” While Conrad does find wearing cocktail dresses on the red carpet easier than dressing for everyday life, she devotes chapters to every occasion, even deciphering dress codes like the dreaded business casual. Her must-tip: don’t be afraid to take your pieces to a tailor to achieve your perfect fit. “Most of the things I buy are tailored,” she dishes, emphasizing the importance of finding your best fit instead of just following trends. Lauren Conrad Style will hit bookshelves on October 5, 2010, the same date as her third novel Sugar & Spice.
