Lauren Conrad guest stars on the FOX animated comedy Family Guy next Sunday, May 3.

“The idea in the episode is that they make fun of me for being dumb and then discover that I’m actually a genius, and that [Lauren Conrad is] kind of a character I play [on TV], because America likes dumb people.”

This week, the star of MTV’s The Hills revealed that she hired an acting coach to help her understand the “big words” and “complicated” scenes featured throughout her appearance.
