Amid the sea of catfights, drunken nights at Area and necklace-wearing, frosted-tips-donning dudes that populate the highly addictive reality show The Hills, we've always found that Whitney Port has stood out as a solid and even-keeled presence. When we first met the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Ms. Port, she was Hills star Lauren Conrad's bright-eyed and bushy-tailed co-intern at Teen Vogue. As season two rolled around, Whitney found herself with more responsibility at the magazine -- she even modeled during a fashion presentation on Good Morning America, and subsequently tripped -- and became one of Lauren's closest friends as her friendship with Heidi began to unravel. On season three, which debuts tonight, Whitney is about to move from a b-level side-character to a more front and center role. Now that Heidi is totally out of the picture, Whitney, Audrina and Lauren are a fierce trifecta. She's been hired as a full-on “fashion contributor” at Teen Vogue and it looks like she's going to be dating her trainer! We asked her a few questions over the phone and she was kind enough to respond.
Alexis Swerdloff: Where are you right now?
Whitney Port: In L.A., at my sister's 20th birthday party. We went out to a little lunch, me and my two sisters and my mom. Four girls.
AS: What are you doing up to the premiere of The Hills? Has it been crazy? Will there be a party?
WP: It really hasn't been so crazy, I kind of stayed out of everything. I'm going out of town for two weeks, so I won't be in the middle of the craziness. I'm going to Missouri with my whole family -- we've been going there every year since I was born. And yes, we have TV there. There'll be a premiere party while I'm gone. I'm debating whether I want to fly back for the night.
AS: What would you wear?
WP: Definitely a dress of some sort.
AS: How is this season going to be different than the first two? And for you, personally?
WP: Yeah, this season... This season we are all just finding ourselves more as women in Los Angeles and revealing more of ourselves. It is still very hard for me to show my private life.
