Media Coverage

A "New York Times" review of "The Hills" described Jenner:

Lauren Conrad's also keenly attuned to affectations, as becomes clear tonight on her date with Hollywood's junior-varsity womanizer, Brody Jenner. He praises her smile, somewhat by rote, and she protests that it's flawed, exhibiting some wit on the subject of features that purportedly give a face "character." This Austenian playfulness about courtship confounds dopey Brody, and he resorts to repeating, dumbly, "You have a beautiful smile."

A February 2007 profile of Jenner in "Details" magazine, which was based on interviews both with Jenner and former manager Spencer Pratt, suggested that his fame has been carefully contrived by Pratt's intentional and strategic manipulations of the media. The article suggests, for instance, that Jenner dated Nicole Richie on Pratt's insistence that it would win him publicity. The article quotes Pratt advising Jenner:

"All right, then here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna start dating Nicole Richie. And you're gonna get that skinny bitch to eat, all right? You are about to become "The Guy Who Got Nicole Richie to Eat". Process that shit, bro. You'll be, like, a fucking hero to America."

Jenner later said he was "horrified" about the way the article construed him and his relationship with Richie, whom he claimed to "genuinely love".

Personal life

Jenner dated actress and fellow reality TV personality Kristin Cavallari of "", for one year. Though sources differ, the couple reportedly began dating in September 2005 and broke up in August 2006. [cite web|url=http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1224426,00.html | title=Kristin Cavallari & Brody Jenner Break Up| author=Ingrassia, Lisa | work=People.com] Weeks after his break-up with Cavallari in August 2006, he began dating Nicole Richie. Multiple internet gossip sources, and Richie herself (via her MySpace blog) have suggested that the relationship between Jenner and Richie was staged for publicity purposes. By early October, representatives announced the pair had split.

Jenner moved on to date another former "Laguna Beach" personality, Lauren Conrad. Jenner appeared on the show with former best friend Spencer Pratt. Rumors surfaced that both Jenner and Pratt went on the show to become famous. Pratt and Jenner ended their friendship soon after Jenner began dating Conrad reportedly due to Pratt and his girlfriend Heidi Montag's feud with Conrad.cite web|url=http://men.style.com/details/features/landing?id=content_5346 | title= Master of His Own Celebrity: Brody Jenner knows just who to screw to sit pretty on the B-list| author=Amsden, David | work = Men.style.com] [cite web|url=http://www.usmagazine.com/heidi_and_spencer_1 | title= Spencer Pratt Has a Shrine To Himself | author=Hancock, Noelle |work=US magazine |] Less than a month later, Jenner confirmed he and Conrad were no longer seeing each other.
