Ex-‘Hills’ star Patridge ready for her close-up

Audrina Patridge, best-known for starring on MTV's "The Hills," starts a different reality-show life Saturday — as the new host of lifestyle program "1st Look," airing weekly on Ch. 4 after "Saturday Night Live."

"1st Look," which also airs on nine other NBC-owned stations nationwide, takes viewers to restaurants, nightlife and travel destinations around the country.

It's a perfect fit for Patridge, 28, who says she's wanted to host a travel show since watching Brooke Burke on the E! series "Wild On!"

"What I love about '1st Look' is it's not so much about partying and drinking all the time, it's more informative and it has something for everyone," she tells The Post. "So when I had the opportunity, it's like a dream job. I'm young enough that I can just travel, get to see things that I would never get to experience."

Patridge makes her debut Saturday night — replacing Ali Fedotowsky, now an E! News corespondent — with two Golden Globes-themed episodes. The first, which airs Saturday at 7:30 p.m. only in New York and LA, shows how the stars get red-carpet-ready for the big night.

In the second episode, airing nationally after "SNL," Patridge cooks with the chef at the Beverly Hilton and looks inside the gifting suites to see what goodies celebs will take home.

Future episodes will take Patridge on the road, with the Jan. 18 episode spotlighting winter getaways in Hawaii, Palm Springs, Salt Lake City and Islamorada in the Florida Keys. Other episode have her cooking with chef John Besh in New Orleans, flyboarding in San Diego, water rapelling down a waterfall in Hawaii, aqua spinning in New York, training at the Cirque school in LA, doing parkour in Chicago and learning how to be a mermaid in Tampa.

She also visited New York, dining at the Japanese restaurant Maison O, Jamaican diner Miss Lily's, Sammy's Roumanian Steak House, Dough Loco in East Harlem and Caracas arepa bar in Brooklyn.

Because it's on NBC, "1st Look" will also have two Olympics-themed episodes (Jan. 25 and Feb. 1) in Park City, Utah, where Patridge tried skiing for the first time and went extreme tubing.

All those activities means Patridge is on the road filming two to three weeks at a time, with a week off in between. But she doesn't mind the schedule, saying the experience has helped expand her horizons, even though she already considered herself a daredevil.

"The only thing I had to be talked into was eating rabbit because I love rabbits," she says. "It looked like chicken so I just did it and it was actually delicious. I've been trying a lot of different things and I like them."

And though the scale of the production is different than "The Hills" — Patridge now travels with just two camera guys as opposed to a large crew — she says spending seven years of her life on a reality TV show was good preparation for her new role.

"I feel like I'm more comfortable with the cameras. You develop thick skin because you will have the haters — you can't please everyone," Patridge says. "And also just being up for anything. You can't be uptight, you've got to be easygoing and have fun and just be yourself.

"Because if you try to control everything you're going to have the worst time ever."
