Heidi Montag: I was destined for stardom
Heidi Montag always knew she was going to be famous.
The 38-year-old reality star grew up in the small ski town of Crested Butte in Colorado - but Heidi always thought that she was destined for stardom.
Heidi - who has been married to Spencer Pratt since 2008 - told The Independent: "It was a smaller version of Aspen that was more exclusive.
"Dolly Parton came there, [as did] Madonna and Michael Keaton and all these really big producers, so whenever celebrities came in, I just always felt this wind of significance and fate for myself."
Heidi believes she's always been destined for Hollywood and for success.
The blonde beauty - who rose to prominence as a cast member on 'The Hills', the MTV reality series - said: "My mom always jokes that I was in a hot pink Barbie Ferrari one minute with my fake fur coat, and then next, I had a backwards hat on and I was playing in the mud. I've always had two parts of myself and I felt 'called' for Hollywood and for success."
Meanwhile, Heidi previously admitted that her beauty standards have evolved over time.
The reality TV star explained that her idea of the perfect body has changed markedly over the years.
Speaking to Us Weekly, Heidi said: "I used to want skinny legs and the gap in between the thighs - I thought that was such a staple of being fit. Now my opinion of what's sexy and what's healthy is so different."
Heidi has actually been inspired by Jennifer Lopez, observing that it's possible to be "hot and fit and older and timeless".
What's more, Heidi no longer compares her body to that of her younger self.
Asked if she's the most confident she's ever been, Heidi replied: "Yes, especially considering my age.
"I can't really compare myself to when I was 20, lifting weights and having a perfectly flat stomach. I'm not going to have the same body, and that's OK.
"I look at someone like Jennifer Lopez, and that makes me think you can be hot and fit and older and timeless."

Jesus Guerrero's cause of death revealed
Celebrity hairstylist Jesus Guerrero died of severe pneumonia. The stylist - who worked with the likes of Kylie Jenner, Camila Cabello, Dua Lipa and Jennifer Lopez - passed away in February, aged 34, and the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner has now confirmed his cause of death. A report from the Medical Examiner shows that Guerrero contracted a lung infection called Cryptococcosis prior to passing away. The report also cited Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome - a life-threatening condition caused by HIV - as a secondary cause of death. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome can lead to a weakened immune system. Guerrero's manner of death is stated as natural. The stylist worked with a host of big-name celebrities during his career, and Jennifer Lopez - one of his former clients - previously took to social media to pay a glowing tribute to him. Alongside a black-and-white photograph of the celebrity hairstylist, Jennifer wrote on Instagram: "Jesus "It's no surprise your mother gave you the name Jesus. You were gentle and kind and loving, quiet and unassuming, but so powerful, and your presence was felt the minute you walked into any room. You never demanded the spotlight. You never needed to make a sound to be recognized, your heart and your talent did that as effortlessly as you artistry did. I've been having trouble putting the words together the last few days. The truth is I'm still in shock that such a beautiful young life has come to an end. It seems senseless and unfair. "I know your family is brokenhearted as am I and everyone else who knew you. Your spirit moved on to the next phase beyond this life but I know wherever you are there is beauty and light. And the beauty and light you left here will live on forever. Rest in peace, sweet angel… [broken-heart emoji] (sic)" Scott Barnes, Jennifer's make-up artist, also took to social media to pay tribute to the stylist. Alongside a tribute video, Scott wrote Instagram: "I can't believe I was just working with him in Dubai and now he's gone. Many prayers to his family during this time."
