They always cheer us up, anyways. If you had eyes in the mid-to-late 2000s, you've most likely seen at least parts of an episode of "The Hills." We're not saying it didn't do some unrepairable damage to your brain, but at least you got to look at Lauren Conrad. We wanted to give you a little taste of the hot, young star without the drama of having to actually watch reruns of that show, so we put together this gallery of some of her best photos, along with some facts about her that are hopefully more interesting than reality TV.

2 of 10Lauren was born on February 1, 1986 in Newport Beach, California. However, she grew up in Laguna Beach, the setting of her first reality series, "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County."

3 of 10Lauren Conrad is also known by the nickname "L.C." (Duh. Get with it, losers). But actually, she prefers going by "Lauren" these days.
-
4 of 10Lauren has her own clothing line called, you guessed it, Lauren Conrad. It was launched in Los Angeles in March 2008. The next year, she released her second, called LC Lauren Conrad, in collaboration with Kohl's. Wait, we thought she didn't like being called L.C-nevermind.

5 of 10Lauren Conrad appeared as a parody of herself in 2007's "Epic Movie." We're not quite sure how that worked, seeing as how we would never watch that film, but it'd be hard to miss the mark for such an easy target.

6 of 10In a 2009 episode of "Family Guy" titled "We Love You, Conrad," Lauren played yet another parodied version of herself, only this time she was extremely intelligent to a point that you wouldn't expect from a reality TV star. Now THAT'S good parody.
-
7 of 10Lauren has written not one, but two book series titled ""L.A. Candy" and "The Fame Game." The first book in the first series went on to be a New York Times bestseller.

9 of 10Lauren has been on a number of "hot" lists, including #56 on Maxim's Hot 100 in 2008 and #6 on People's "25 Beauties (and Hotties) at 25." We gotta say, it's warranted.

10 of 10Next: 'The Hills' Star Kristin CavallariLauren still doesn't talk to co-star from "The Hills" and former best friend Heidi Montag. This isn't all that shocking, but we're pretty sure the random trivia aspect of this gallery isn't what's getting your attention anyways.
