"Wait until Audrina, Heidi and the gang get a load of this. In an extended sit-down interview with Giuliana Rancic for an E! special, Kristin Cavallari looks back on her days as the bad girl protagonist on the final two seasons of MTV&amp;apos;s The Hills.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I had two lives,&amp;quot; says Cavallari, now 26 and mom to son Camden, 7 months, with fiance Jay Cutler.  &amp;quot;I had the public Kristin and then I had the real me.&amp;quot; One way show producers maintained the villainous, hard-partying &amp;quot;public&amp;quot; Kristin persona? According to Cavallari, her costars -- who included Audrina Patridge, Heidi Montag, Lo Bosworth,&amp;#xA0;Stephanie Pratt, Brody Jenner and others -- were encouraged to lie on camera and to the press about her drug use.\r\n\r\nCavallari even claimed to Rancic that one producer tried -- unsuccessfully -- to bribe her costars with $10,000 Birkin bags to fabricate stories about her drug problem. (She noted that MTV was unaware of the producer&amp;apos;s bribery attempts.)\r\n&amp;quot;I felt so used,&amp;quot; says Cavallari, who denies any problems with substance abuse. &amp;quot;And I realized at that moment that I didn&amp;apos;t matter.  None of us mattered.  It was all about ratings.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nShe first became a reality star as a teenager when she, Lauren Conrad and other classmates were hand-picked to star in Laguna Beach, the high-school predecessor to The Hills. &amp;quot;I was 16 when they first came,&amp;quot; she recalls. &amp;quot;We were babies and we didn&amp;apos;t know what we were signing up for.  They literally came in and just manipulated situations,&amp;quot; she reveals."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
