Audrina Patridge's Spinoff To Air On Vh1 In April

Former "The Hills" star and recent "Dancing With the Stars" contestant Audrina Patridge is moving on ... to VH1.

Patridge's VH1 show, called "Audrina," will premiere in April. The show, executive produced by Mark Burnett ("Survivor," "Sarah Palin's Alaska"), will follow Patridge as she tries to further her Hollywood career and with her family.

Mom Lynn has already gained some notoriety for a drunken screed following her daughter's elimination from "DWTS" in October; her dad, Mark, and younger siblings Casey, Marky and Samantha will also be featured. The family stuff will intertwine with tales of Audrina trying to advance her " acting, modeling and business career."

So why Audrina, VH1 executive vice president of original programming and production Jeff Olde?

"We love that Audrina's life plays out simultaneously on two levels. On one level, she is working hard to establish herself in the entertainment industry," Olde says. "But at the same time she has this amazingly real, supportive family in Orange County who keeps her grounded. Ultimately, this is the story of a young woman with dreams, goals and ambitions all put through the no-BS filter of her family. We love that."

Patridge will also be a producer of the show, along with Burnett, her manager Dave Fleming and Michael Bloom.

Lauren Conrad: I Disagree With Audrina's Mom

During her now-infamous drunken rant (for which she's since apologized), Audrina Patridge's mother called The Hills girls "tramps" and said that her daughter would fare better than Lauren Conrad, whom she called a "bitch."

But Lauren, 24, doesn't exactly see eye-to-eye with Mrs. Patridge, telling Us Magazine that she doesn't view Audrina, 25, as competition.

Asked Monday at the VH1 Save the Music Foundation Gala in NYC about Audrina's VH1 show, Lauren (who has her own MTV show in the works) told Us, "I think it's good for her. And no, I really don't think about it like that at all."

Asked if she had hurt feelings about Audrina's mom's rant, she told Us, "I really don't have a comment on that right now, thanks."

Audrina's Mom: 'Emotional' After Elimination

After calling Lauren Conrad a "pissy a-- little fashion s---" outside L.A.'s Beso restaurant Tuesday night, Audrina Patridge's mom Lynn is hoping to make amends.

"I am sincerely sorry for the negative things I said in the heat of the moment," Lynn tells Us Magazine in a statement.

After Audrina, 25, was voted off Dancing With the Stars, Lynn admitted to having at least "three glasses of wine" before cameras caught her mouthing off on her daughter's former Hills castmates.

"As a mother, there is no pain in this world like seeing your children upset," Lynn explains. "I am so proud of my daughter and all she has accomplished on Dancing with the Stars. I was extremely emotional after her elimination -- it just came as such a shock. I want to apologize for offending anyone."

Audrina Patridge's Mom: DWTS & 'Hills Tramps'

Audrina Patridge took her Dancing with the Stars elimination on Tuesday gracefully.

But her mother isn't going down so easy.

In an obscenity-laced rant caught on camera Wednesday night outside Hollywood hotspot Beso, Lynn Patridge swore her daughter was meant for bigger things and took aim at her daughter's former The Hills castmates.

"Audrina is going to f––ing rise. And She's got class ... She's a Polish, Catholic, f––ing full-on Italian," Lynn, smoking a cigarette, said into the camera. "Not only that, she was raised right."

During the five-minute diatribe, a friend attempted to intervene to stop the interview but Patridge, who admitted she'd been drinking, resisted.

"I've been a celebrity mom for eight years through this Hills" bull–," she said, "but Audrina is going to the next level... She's got it in her. She's a sweetie."

Lynne also addressed Audrina's surprise DWTS elimination. "One door closes, another one opens. I was proud of her," she says. "I've had so much fun this entire experience. Tony [Dovolani] has been such an amazing teacher."

And she picked her favorite to win the ballroom competition now that her daughter is out: "I hope Brandy wins, Brandy and Maks."

But she wasn't so nice when asked about the "Hills girls" – her daughter's costars in the MTV reality show. She called them "Hills tramps" and targeted Lauren Conrad in particular, calling her a "b––."

A rep for Audrina did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
