'Hills' star admits to googling lovers

The Hills actress Lauren Conrad has admitted to researching prospective lovers on Google.

She said that she used the search engine to find out about potential partners' previous relationships.

"Yeah [I used it], for all of them!" she confessed. "But I don't believe everything I read though. I google pictures to see ex-girlfriends and stuff."

Conrad also revealed that she maintained her healthy physique by taking up kickboxing classes.

"It's like a full body workout," said the 22-year-old. "Like squat, lunge, squat, lunge, or lower punches."
