Jason Wahler: Spencer & Heidi 'Need to Shut Up'

Jason Wahler was in rehab when rumors of a sex tape with Lauren Conrad surfaced – so he's returning to The Hills next week to set the record straight.

"The whole thing that Heidi [Montag] and Spencer [Pratt] said about the tape thing, its just so annoying," Wahler, 20, told Ryan Seacrest Wednesday. "They just need to shut up."

A fight was sparked after rumors spread that Conrad had made a sex tape with ex-boyfriend Wahler – rumors which she believes Montag, 20, and her fiancé, Spencer Pratt, started. Conrad, 21, denies she ever made such a tape

"The most frustrating part is that they are such lowlifes that they have to come up with stuff to try and ruin other people," says Wahler. "It's just frustrating."

Speaking on Seacrest's KISS-FM radio show to promote his guest appearance Sept. 10, the recently engaged Wahler denies the existence of a sex tape and says he regards Conrad as a close ally.

"Lauren was a good friend, she was always there to be supportive and stuff," Wahler said. "Things definitely get stirred up [on Monday night's episode]. You'll have to wait and see." Adding – when asked if he hooks up with her – "No, I don't."

I don't like him, but atleast he is willing to be in this with her and not stand back. Kudos to him for talking to her and showing a united front
