Polk Imaging/WireImage.com,Karl Larsen/INFPhoto.comUPDATE: I just heard back from Montag's rep on why she wasn't at the party.
Two words: "Not invited."

Photo-opportunists Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are no-shows at the Hills season finale party happening right now at a private mansion in Beverly Hills.
That's weird, right?
“It’s not weird to me,” Lauren "L.C." Conrad told reporters as she walked into the party.
Conrad also insisted she had nothing to do with it one way or another. Montag's missed big parties for the MTV hit series before, including one in L.A. and another in NYC.
“I have no control over the guest list,” Conrad said.
But Pratt's sister, Stephanie, is in the house...
And she just revealed she wants to get into the fashion biz like Conrad, Montag and Whitney Port. Handbags are her thing.
“I love purses,” she said. “Pockets are so important to me, because I have a hundred lip glosses. So [the purses] will have hundreds of pockets and chains and, I think, a mix of leather and suede. But don’t tell anyone, because that’s my vision.”
Oops, too late.
As for the party, it’s at a secret location where guests are being shuttled to and from the Beverly Center mall. There’s a stage set up for Usher’s performance after the screening of the finale.
Brody Jenner just showed up, as did Audrina Patridge. Everyone is rushing to go watch the show.
Oh, wouldn’t it be fab if Heidi and Spencer showed up? With or without them, I’m sure I’ll have more dishy details for you as the night goes on.
Enjoy the show!
