Her reality show might have been axed, but that’s not stopping this reality star diva from pursuing her writing career!

With three books in her L.A. Candy series already under her belt, Conrad has just signed on with HarperCollins for another three-book trilogy, entitled The Fame Game, which will follow the life of antagonist Madison Parker from L.A. Candy in her rise to reality fame, according to Perez Hilton.

“We took the mean girl of the [L.A. Candy books], spinning her off,” Conrad told Us Magazine. “This series is about a girl who loves everything that fame is, and that’s all she’s ever really wanted,” Conrad explains. “[Madison] has fun with the press, she enjoys the attention, she welcomes scandal!”

With all the juicy scandals and backstabbing that Madison caused in L.A. Candy, we can’t wait to see what this fictional drama queen will have next in store for us!

However, Conrad assured Us Magazine that none of the characters are based on people from her past, not even her former “The Hills” co-star Heidi Montag, and have instead taken Hollywood stereotypes and played with them to create the characters in the novel.

“With a clothing empire to run as well (her third line debuts this fall), when does Conrad write?” reports Us Magazine. “’Between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m.,’ Conrad tells Us. ‘My phone doesn’t ring, and there’s nothing on TV!’ Is Conrad’s longtime beau, actor Kyle Howard, an L.A. Candy devotee? ‘He read my first book, which was very sweet,’ Conrad says, laughing. ‘I told him he didn’t have to read the rest. ”I don’t think he’s the target market!’”

So cute! Can’t wait to read the crazy and dramatic stories you have whipped up for us this time, Lauren! Will you be first in line to buy The Fame Game when it’s released?

Lauren Conrad Tackles The Movie Industry

Lauren Conrad’s spotlight may be gone from reality show, The Hills, but she has deftly redirected it to her newest movie-making endeavor.

Conrad has decided to work with the executive producers of Twilight, Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey, to turn her novel, “L.A. Candy,” into a film.

“I mean, you can’t do much better, right?” she remarked to MTV News at the launch of her Kohl’s LC Lauren Conrad clothing line.

According to mtvnews.com, she went on to explain that the book was never meant to be a movie. Instead, Conrad had envisioned it as a TV show. The former Hills star knows a thing or two about TV. “Originally, when people started talking to me about turning the books into television, I was really excited,” she explained. “Then we got approached about the movie and I wasn’t really sure it would work. The story is supposed to take place over a couple of years and it’s hard to do with a movie.”

With doubts of a movie deal in her mind, she went on the book tour, and that’s when inspiration hit her. “I was sitting in a room and then it just came to me,” she explained about why she finally decided to turn it into a film. “I came up with a format that worked and discussed it with them. They really liked it.”
