Audrina Patridge Talks DWTS, BF Corey Bohan

Audrina Patridge seems to have gotten over The Hills with the help of now being a contestant on Dancing With the Stars. Right now Audrina is focused on the competition and seems to have lost touch with what’s going on in the lives of her former pals from The Hills.

Audrina chatted with reporters at the Make Up Forever Event in NYC at Sephora in NYC’s Soho neighborhood on Thursday about how Dancing With the Stars is going for her!

Who does she think are the biggest competitors for her and partner Tony Dovolani?

“Everybody has such potential,” Audrina explained to reporters. “Everyone’s really good and unique in their own way. Brandy definitely is competition. She’s very driven, very competitive. She wants it so bad. Jennifer Grey is really good, as well.”

But Audrina wants to win!

“I’m definitely, that’s what I’m aiming for. I definitely want to win,” she said. “I’m very driven and I want to push myself every week and become a dancer!”

And she thinks she has something the other contestants don’t!

“I’m very driven. I do not give up,” Audrina told OK!. “I will push myself until I perfect the move and I’m all about having fun. I don’t take anything too serious because at the end of the day, it’s fun. You have to have fun with it.”

Audrina had some drama in her life when her boyfriend Corey Bohan didn’t understand her intense schedule. But now, things are better and they’re working it out!

“I am very busy right now and I told Corey before I started the show because we were together, inseparable, 24/7 and now I don’t get to see him.” But, I am in LA,” Audrina told OK!. “After rehearsal, he’ll drive up and we’ll go to the movies or go to dinner and hang out so we make it work.”

With all the success Audrina has been having lately have any of her Hills co-stars called her to wish her good luck on DWTS?

“Everyone’s been super busy so I haven’t heard from anyone,” she explained.

Audrina Patridge Talks Bruno's 'Harsh' Remarks

Audrina Patridge has Michael Bolton's back.

The Dancing with the Stars competitor thinks Bolton, 57, deserves an apology from Bruno Tonioli, who scathingly chided the singer's jive number on Monday night's show.

"It definitely was really brutal, and Michael was really bummed out after that. I think he should say something," Patridge, 25, told Us Magazine at Thursday's Make Up Forever Boutique Launch at Sephora Soho in NYC. (Tonioli said Bolton's jive was "the worst" in the show's history.)

But, Tonioli has to be a little mean, the star admitted: "He is a judge, and that's his job to give his opinion and be brutally honest...If he was too nice, it wouldn't be an interesting show."

The show's producers stood behind their sharp-tongued judge. After Bolton's Tuesday's night elimination from the show, he demanded an apology from Tonioli for his withering remarks. In a Wednesday statement, producers said, "We don't feel Bruno should be expected to apologize for doing his job."

How does Patridge (paired with Tony Dovolani) keep her wits about her come show time?

"I get nervous and jittery before going out there with 700-800 people out there watching you. It's nerve-wracking!" she admitted.

"When I am on the dance floor, I just focus on Tony. I'm in this little bubble. That's all I focus on -- otherwise, I will mess up."
