Is it weird to you that complete strangers are so interested in your ass?
I love my butt, but enough already. At first I thought it was funny and flattering, but it's tiresome now. I've seen magazines where plastic surgeons are saying, "If you want a butt like this it has to be fake," and I'm just like, "Dude, have you ever seen an Armenian girl before?" I love that I'm curvy, but I'm on this major kick to try and lose weight, especially in my butt. I'm just so over it! When you're posing on the red carpet and the paparazzi shout, "Turn around! Turn around!"--it gets a little offensive.

It's not just the paps. Your childhood friend Paris Hilton said that your butt "reminds [her] of cottage cheese inside a big trash bag."
That's so nasty! Wasn't that nasty? She called and apologized, and I accepted her apology. She said she was joking. I kind of laugh it off, like, "You know, I've never denied having cellulite." Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. If she thinks my butt looks like that, I don't really care. At least I have a butt.

Having a sex tape leaked would make most people more private. Instead you signed on for a reality show. What were you thinking?

You either put yourself out there or you sit at home being depressed. Everything in life, good or bad, you have to learn from and move on. Everyone makes mistakes when they're young. I should be no different than everybody else.

When you meet people now, do you find they have a preconceived notion of you that's, well ... unflattering? Like, that you're going to be slutty or spoiled?
Especially before the show, I was really frustrated about the image that was out there, but the show has totally helped that. Before, people assumed all I did was shop all day and party all night and that I was always wasted and I didn't work. But I don't even drink alcohol! And I've 
been running a clothing store for going on five years now. So the show's done a good job of showing us getting up every day, going to our store, working.

Why don't you drink?
I've always hated the taste. If there was a drink that I liked I would probably drink all the time. But it's disgusting to me. I'm a lot more boring than people think. I have a boyfriend [New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush], and date nights are bowling and cooking. Like, last night I made tacos. I already did all my craziness, so there's really none left.
