Former best friends, roommates and reality TV co-stars, Lauren Conrad and [Heidi Montag](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ryde-x-heidi-montag) are still feuding.

The tiff got so out of control that they are refusing to pose in photos together, including promo pics for Season 3 of [MTV's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dumbgood) reality show The Hills. The shoots were taken on separate occasions and the images were merged together on photoshop.

Feuding celebrities have been catching a lot of media attention lately. Famous friend-to-foe relationships include [Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paris-hilton-2), Denise Richards and Heather Locklear, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, the cast of Desperate Housewives and, just when men thought it was only women who were insane, singers Jay-Z and R. Kelly make the list too.
