Lauren Conrad likes being reminded she is `uncool`

Conrad, who is gearing up to star in her new reality TV show, said her pals keep her grounded and remind her how 'lame' she is.

The 24-year-old told British Women's Health Magazine: 'One way to stay grounded in the entertainment industry is to surround yourself with very good people that will constantly remind you how uncool you are.

'It helps that I have an amazing family and I have really great friends that I've had since I was a little kid and they're all still around me, reminding me how lame I am.'

Lauren also said she has to compromise to balance her work and personal life.

She added: 'When you are working really hard and you're really focused on your career, a lot of other things suffer, it takes a lot of effort to have a successful career, have great relationships in your life and have a healthy lifestyle - it's just about compromise.

'It helps if your friends and boyfriend like to work out because then you can kill two birds with one stone.'
