Michael Tran/Getty ImagesAudrina Patridge wants to change her taste in men, but first, I gotta tell ya the babe's an absolute cheapskate! Ms. P was the host and cover girl of L.A. Direct's Remember to Give Holiday Party at Les Deux in H'wood, where each guest was asked to donate a present. So we had to ask, hon, what gift did ya bring? Aud looked at us wide-eyed, "I had to bring a gift? No one told me that."
Priceless. Where's the damn reality camera when you need one?
Patridge's publicist immediately piped up: "She's part of a big toy drive we're doing." Uh-huh. Guess your presence is gift enough for those less fortunate. So what's the worst give you've ever received? "One year, one of my friends thought it would be funny to give me a chia pet." How dare they! Did ya grow the gag gift anyway? "I did. I grew it, and it died, and there went the chia pet."
Let's get onto the real stuff: sex, obvs.
Do you think your costar Doug Reinhardt and Amanda Bynes are a good couple? Stephanie Pratt doesn't think so. "I just found out about that!" exclaimed A.P. After an awkward pause, she finally said: "If they're happy, it's good."
Do you think Heidi and Spencer are happy as man and wife?
"I'm happy for them," monotoned Aud. "They're connected at the hips, and eventually I felt like it was going to happen...I just didn't know when. I didn't think they'd go and elope, but good for them." Would you elope? "No! I wouldn't." Can't say we blame you for not following in Speidi's footsteps.
But the type of guy she'd have that regular kinda union with came out in the next query: Any New Year's resolutions? "Focus more on acting, my career, and I wanna meet a guy who's respectful," insisted A.P. "I want to meet a great guy and veer towards my career and not so much dating." Better get off The Hills then, hon. You're never gonna meet any gentlemen on there.
