And its even listed at a discount. Lauren paid $2.36 Million for it in 2008.

Any takers?

As if Reality TV isn’t enough!

Although the show was taken off the air last summer, it has been rumoured that The Hills‘ executive producer, Adam DiVello, had hopes for turning the reality show into a feature film following its last episode, but the cast wished to take a break from the show all together.

“We were kind of all just so fed up with each other that we all needed a little break,” The Hills‘ star Audrina Partridge told Ryan Seacrest in a recent interview on his radio show. But not all hope is lost! ”We’ve all had our break. Maybe we’ll all come back together and do a movie,” she continued.

Seeing as how the show was already scripted to begin with, a movie filled with never-ending drama and Kristin Cavallari, Lauren Conrad, Brody Jenner, the Pratt siblings, Lauren Bosworth, and Heidi Montag could actually have some potential as a source of entertainment. We can’t wait to see if our wish, and DiVello’s, actually comes true!

Would you want to see a movie version of The Hills?

Heidi Montag is returning to reality television, People reports. 

The reality star is no stranger to the spotlight. Montag began her career on ‘The Hills’ alongside Lauren Conrad, and from there shared every aspect of her life with the media including her lacklustre music career and plastic surgery woes.

But now, almost a year after the series finale of the show that made her famous, Montag is taking a different route with the show ‘Reality Food.’

On the new VH1 show, Montag will appear alongside other familiar faces including The Bachelor’s Jake Pavelka and Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Danielle Staub as they re-launch a new restaurant.

Co-star Pavelka says “This isn’t TV to me. This is a show about us trying to open a restaurant. It’s just coincidental there are cameras there.” Yeah, sure.

Despite this new claim to fame, though, Montag is stressing the importance of keeping her life private.

“From now on, I’m going to keep my life a little more private,” Montag says. “I think I was just doing The Hills for so long and I just needed a break [from Hollywood]. Plus, I enjoy my privacy.”

Really? You enjoy privacy? Of course you do. That’s why you always publicly comment on every aspect of your life, attend every Hollywood event, and never pass up the chance to be on television. Of course you love privacy.

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 is not loved by MTV like she thought she was. MTV bought a show following Lauren’s life after “The Hills” as she tried to build a career as a fashion designer and author. Unfortunately, MTV deemed the show was too “high brow” for their audience.

She tells the Hollywood Reporter, “We sold a show to MTV, filmed it and are really proud of the final result. MTV felt the subject matter was too highbrow for their audience and offered me the opportunity to change the show by incorporating more of my personal life.”

“We agreed going into the project that this show would be an ‘aspirational’ one, focusing on my career and my goals and not my personal relationships. We delivered the show that we sold and are sorry MTV didn’t feel their viewers were savvy enough to appreciate it.”

MTV is probably right. Numbers don’t lie and it seems that people prefer the stupidity of “Jersey Shore” rather than an up and coming professional. Snooki, you have won this round.

Known for breaking girls’ hearts all over Laguna Beach (and his long-term relationship with co-star Lauren Conrad), Jason Wahler was quite the catch back in his day. Sadly, he’s most recently been caught by the police. And it’s not the first time.

The Laguna Beach/The Hills star has been sentenced to two days in jail and three months in an alcohol offender program for pleading guilty yesterday (May 3) to a DUI charge, reports PerezHilton.

Wahler was previously in jail and rehab for alcohol issues. You can relive some of that drama on The Hills (you know, back when it was good because LC was still on it).

Spencer Pratt has made it very vocal that he is not happy Lauren Conrad maybe making a comeback on “The Hills.”

Rumors have been spreading that Conrad could appear in the last 12 episodes of the series. Spencer takes extra offense to this possible development as he has been banned from the show.

To express his anger, Pratt took to his Twitter account, leaving some unfavorable comments about Conrad. “Is it true that you want back to the hills. Nobody cared about you the first round or second. What about your boyfriend u pay?”

He continued with a total of 14 tweets. Some of the highlights include “Just make sure you pack no bikinis for your trip back on the hills. Still sick from photos I saw of u in a gutter 3 years ago.”

Conrad has yet to respond to these comments, which is probably in her best interest. Pratt is either the dumbest guy on Earth or is being paid by MTV to start trouble as a publicity stunt. Let’s hope he’s not that dumb and its the latter.

Lisa Love usually gets what she wants – but this time that may not be the case. With The Hills’s sixth and last season premiering on April 27, people are buzzing if LC will ever appear on the screen again, even just for the season finale. E! Online reports that Lisa Love believes she should.

“The show gave her a great run,” the Teen Vogue editor told E last night at Diego Della Valle’s MOCA fundraiser at Tod’s in Bevery Hills. “She should definitely come back for the finale.”

The show’s creator, Adam DiVello, told EW.com that his dream was to have LC walk down the aisle for the last episode. Love, however, has other ideas.

“It’d be fun if Lauren and I caught up in Paris,” Love suggested. “I think they could find a way to make it work with her coming back.”

Although Love is hoping for Conrad’s comeback, she has not been following the reality TV show since Conrad left.

“It was over many years ago for me, and I haven’t watched it since,” Love said. “I never watched it even when I was on. You don’t want to watch yourself on TV. I only follow what’s going on with the cast when I’m at the airport.”

The 24-year-old clothing designer has been focusing on just that – her clothing line, The Lauren Conrad Collection, as well as writing New York Times Best Seller LA Candy and Sweet Little Lies: An L.A. Candy Novel. All of which leaves her choice, but to leave her reality TV days behind her.

What a feeling of mixed emotions. It’s a great feeling that MTV has announced the return of “The Hills” starting in April. The bad feeling is MTV has said this will be the last season of the series. Our lives suddenly have no purpose.

So let’s make the most of this last season. What can we expect? Tons of drama! According to MTV, in the final 12 episodes, kicking off on April 27, fans will see Audrina Patridge dating singer Ryan Cabrera, and Kristin Cavallari contending with rumors of drug abuse. We will also find out if Kristin and Justin Bobby will last. And will Heidi and Spencer ever have a baby named Speidi?

“I think we’ve told the story of struggle and of finding yourself in L.A.,” creator Adam DiVello said. “A lot of these kids have found themselves and have certainly embarked on different careers and different paths.”

We are sure it will be a roller coaster ride and we can’t wait to see what happens.

Although Lauren Conrad is no longer a part of the hit reality TV series The Hills, she is still busying herself,  especially with her clothing line LC by Lauren Conrad, MTV News reported.

The young star has always been admired for her laid-back, Californian, girly fashion sense and now fans can achieve the same look by shopping at department store Kohl’s.

LC spoke to MTV News about her line at a press event, saying that there’s a piece in her collection for every type of occasion.

“It’s very much a California brand. It’s all about incorporating new trends and putting our own twist on it — relaxed cool without trying too hard,” she said.

The star is trying to achieve versatility and fashion with her new line, hoping that pieces can be worn much more than once.

“I have a few [favorite pieces],” she said. “I do a lot of basics, so we have a great blazer, a high-waisted black skirt and biker jacket and all those pieces can be traded throughout … it’s a lot of layering, a lot of switching-up, so you can get more mileage

LC is a reality TV star, author and clothing designer – although it seems she does it all, don’t expect her to start designing for males, or even someone without her sense of style.

“I’m not a boy,” she joked, adding she’s too “selfish” to design anything that she couldn’t wear herself.

The 24-year-old beauty had a specific reason for hooking up with Kohl’s.

“They’re very accessible. They’re everywhere and they’re online and they’re affordable,” she explained. “It was a fun way for me to work with a really great company and to say, ‘This is what I think is going to be in in a couple months’ and ‘This is what I’m gonna wear at a great price point and great quality.’”

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.”

The Hills star Lauren Conrad’s new fashion line, L.C. by Lauren Conrad, will be sold at Kohl’s, with every item priced under $60. Her first line of overpriced, high-end clothing didn’t do well, reports E! News, so this time around, Conrad is aiming to appeal to fans with clothing they can actually afford.

The reality star, 23, celebrated the line’s launch with a party on Melrose Place. She was joined inside by her boyfriend, actor Kyle Howard, 31. Conrad’s ex, Brody Jenner, was noticeably absent from the affair.

Those in attendance left with gift bags of items from the line.

The cast from “The Hills” (minus Lauren Conrad) is set to return to the small screen on September 29 at 10 p.m. on MTV, according to MTV News.

This upcoming season will mark the return of Kristin Cavallari to MTV. However, the show will return with familiar faces, including Audrina Patridge, Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt and Lo Bosworth.

Pratt seemed more than happy to share screen time with Cavallari. “There wouldn’t be a ‘Hills’ if there wasn’t a Kristin Cavallari, because the ‘Laguna Beach’ brand wouldn’t have had the power,” Spencer told MTV News. “We still love Lauren, we’d love to have you come back on the show. But hey, you were the calm, quiet girl trying to steal Kristin’s boyfriend, the cool girl at the high school. So shout-out to the cool girl joining ‘The Hills’!”

Music artists and movie stars never fail to entertain me (however, I do get easily amused). Whether I laugh with them (or, in most cases, at them) or actually pity their heartaches and failures (which doesn’t happen often)—I always look forward to the next celebrity hook-up/screw-up.

And the month of April did not disappoint. Here are the five best and worst moments in pop culture that made me grateful that such somewhat petty life moments in my life aren’t publicized for the world:

BEST:

5) Pink Reunites with H(e)art:

One can’t help but assume the following:

a) Pink’s estranged husband Carey Hart decided to give his relationship another try after watching the boyfriend/husband torturing, knee-breaking video his wife created for her single ‘Please Don’t Leave Me.’

Or

b) Pink and Carey realized that they are meant to be with one another, at least for another year.

Either way, I’m happy.

4) LC leaves The Hills:

I’ll admit. I really cannot watch an entire episode of this series without feeling like I lost some brain cells. However, Lauren Conrad was the show’s only salvation. She’s the least annoying and somehow the most genuine–which is why she needs to move onto better things. The only real downfall? More airtime for douche Spencer Pratt.

3) Ronson and Lohan Breakup, Again…Again:

I strongly believe that Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson find great amusement in their relationship. From their constant bickering, PDA and breakups, these two don’t know when to stop. Lindsay should consider adding “relationship therapy” along to her list of “Things I Need To Attend Rehab For.”

2) Ooh ooh baby—Wolverine prequel finally hits theatres:

Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Kitsch = Yummy. Need I say more? I think not.

1) Susan Boyle Proves Simon Wrong. Let’s rejoice:

Overnight singing sensation Susan Boyle made us realize that a lack of conventional physical beauty and youth doesn’t always amount to failure. While Simon Cowell saw money signs in his eyes during her performance, the rest of the world was just pleased Boyle didn’t sound like Beyonce’s altered live recording on the ‘Today’ show.

WORST:

5) Mel Gibson’s New Leading Lady Drama:  

I can’t quite understand why everyone is making a big deal out of this relationship. If Gibson and his wife were indeed separated for a few years prior to any of them having a relationship with other people, then kudos to Gibson for hooking up.  

Besides, I’m sure Oksana (whose name gets butchered by television and radio media) just wants him for his money. Which, unfortunately for her, might not be as much as she thinks after Gibson settles his divorce with his wife Robyn.

4) Britney’s “stay away from me” order:

Dear Ms. Spears is not meant to live a life void of relationship drama. While a judge issued a restraining order against Spears’s former manager, Sam Lutfi, for another three years, I’m positive that it’s not the end for them two. If Britney ever falls back to her old, unstable ways…Lutfi will be the first person she’ll call (along with a hairdresser).

You’ll see.

3) Beyonce’s horrific altered voice recording:

After Howard Stern aired an alleged recording of Beyonce screeching through a rendition of “If I Were a Boy,” many assumed that the Grammy winning star either hid behind pre-recorded tracks or suddenly went tone-deaf.

TMZ, however, came to the rescue by reporting that they spoke to the individual responsible for altering the recording. Phew. For a moment there, I assumed Beyonce was suddenly taking vocal pointers from Britney.

2) Miss California Same-Sex scandal:

By now, we have all heard of the “scandalous” moment involving Miss California and Perez Hilton. While I will refuse to comment on the situation, I do send out my sympathies out to Miss North Carolina. Even though she won the Miss USA crown, she has barely received the same news coverage as her runner-up competitor.

1) Heidi and Spencer get married (officially)…doomed for life:

It’s not hard to see why I think that any girl is too good for Spencer Pratt. Heck, I wouldn’t even wish such a man upon Lohan. This idiot is the epitome of an arrogant jerk bag. I may not be Montag’s biggest fan either, but even I don’t think she should spend the rest of her life with someone like Spencer.

If, by some miracle, Spencer grew up and humbled down, I might just reconsider my awful view of him. As for now,  I already pity the children they don’t have.

What were you thinking Heidi?

MTV has announced their hit show “The Hills” will return for another season later this year without Lauren Conrad, its original star.

“MTV viewers will find out life in Los Angeles only gets more complicated as friendships, relationships and loyalties are tested like never before as ‘The Hills’ returns this fall with more episodes of season five,” read a press release from the network to MTV News.

According to MTV, Audrina Patridge, Stephanie Pratt, Lo Bosworth, Brody Jenner and Justin Bobby will be back for the new season.

And of course, the newlyweds will be returning as well. “Spencer and Heidi will be newlyweds. So the stakes are higher than ever before for the two to make things work,” read the statement issued to MTV News.

Friend and “The City” star Whitney Port tells MTV News why she thinks Conrad left the show. “I think at this point, she’s put everybody else and the audience in front of her for the last eight years, so now she decided she needs to put herself first”.

The Season 4 Finale wraps up with a Lauren Conrad-Heidi Montag… hug. Lauren Conrad and Lo Bosworth attend a major party hosted by Bolthouse. Heidi Montag is also there along with Holly Montag and Stephanie Pratt. There are WAY too many blondes in this episode. Some may argue there are never enough blondes, but as a brunette, I disagree. Heidi gets the courage to speak alone with LC. To break the ice, she asks her, “Have you been working out?” The talk then turns serious with Heidi admitting, “the only thing really missing in my life is you.” LC’s words to live by: “It is what it is, it’s not always fair.” The two reminisce and Heidi exclaims that she doesn’t feel like she’s getting older. Well she isn’t- hello, plastic surgery! They do exchange a hug at the end and finally, the world is at peace.

However, Heidi’s life still has enough drama. Everyone is shocked over her marriage. At work, Brent Bolthouse asks her about her vacation. Her answer: “I was in Mexico and kinda decided to get married.” Brent doesn’t believe it, “Shut Up.” She isn’t at all insulted: “We were down there and we had a couple Margaritas and there was a chapel there…it was the craziest thing I’ve ever done.” Okay Britney. Still, no one is more shocked than Heidi’s mom, Darlene Montag, who flies into LA demanding an explanation. When asked to explain how the wedding happened, Heidi announces that a couple margaritas + a beautiful sunset= a wedding. Spencer Pratt sits there the whole time, looking like Chewbacca with all his facial hair. He actually seems sad when Mrs. Montag speaks but who knows what Spencer is thinking. To make the marriage legal, they must have a ceremony in the U.S. The Speidies are opting for a City Hall event whereas Mrs. Montag wants Heidi to have her dream wedding. The next day, Mrs. Montag comes by and has a chat with Spencer. She tells him the wedding is “too fast, it’s too much.” Spencer doesn’t see anything wrong with that, telling her that once the City Hall ceremony is completed, “you’ll be my mom.” No wonder she’s freaking out. Later on, Spencer and Heidi meet at City Hall with Stephanie Pratt as their witness. Spencer is oh-so-romantic, “Come on, let’s just do this.” They listen to the judge’s words, Heidi already says “I do” and only then does Spencer finally have a change of heart. Well he finally shows he has a heart. The Tinman Pratt asks Heidi if she is sure that this is the wedding she wants, not a big one and with her family mad at her. Heidi breaks down in tears and Spencer agrees to give her the wedding of her dreams. Newsflash, the dude does have a soul.

If there’s hope for Spencer, there must be hope for Justin Bobby. Audrina Patridge and Justin Bobby go on a romantic getaway to Palm Springs. Justin Bobby is wearing overalls and looks alarmingly like Luigi. Would that make Audrina Mario? The guy gets creepier by the second, telling Audrina he wants to stay there forever. Basically, he wants to lock her away. “You’re a rare one,” Justin Bobby tells her. “You’re very rare,” she says right back to him. I can’t tell if they’re complimenting or insulting one another. Their romantic vacation ends on a high note when Justin Bobby uses his teeth to take off a ring on one of his fingers in order to give it to Audrina. We can’t tell if he’s proposing or just thanking her for still speaking to him. But who knows, maybe Spencer is rubbing off on him! I can’t wait for the next season but for now we’ll just have to make do with The City!
