Thursday, May 14, 2009 || Kristin Confirmed for "The Hills"
Rumors have been circulating for weeks that former Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari was in talks to replace Lauren Conrad on The Hills. Now, EW can exclusively confirm that Cavallari will indeed be starring in MTV's reality series. The 22-year old's first appearance will be the May 31st season finale (she catches the bouquet at Heidi and Spencer’s wedding, natch) and she'll appear in 10 episodes this fall. Cavallari, now a budding actress, is fully prepared to stir things up. “It’s a TV show,” she explains. “I’m not going into it like, ‘I’m going to make great friendships with these people.’ It’s work! And drama sells. I think that’s why they’re bringing me in, because I know what works.” Cavallari had plenty more to reveal in her exclusive interview with EW.
On why she’s coming back to reality TV:
“The goal for me is to get my fans excited about me again. When I first started out, I had a celebrity name but I didn’t have the acting skills I have now. If I have some buzz with my name again, I feel like it will only help.”
On rumors that producers are plotting a romance between her and Justin Bobby (which The Hills producers deny):
“I have no idea! [laughs] I don’t think MTV would be like, ‘Oh you’re dating him now. This is your boyfriend.' But they might try and set up situations. I’m totally cool with that. Again, it’s a TV show and they need to make it entertaining.”
On how her version of The Hills will differ from Lauren’s:
“I’m a completely different person than Lauren. I have a lot more energy. I’m more outgoing. I’m a little more spontaneous. And she has a boyfriend so she’s not dating on the show. I’m very open to dating and finding a guy.”
On introducing Heidi and Spencer:
“It’s so funny. I guess it was 4 years ago. I was dating Brody [Jenner] and Spencer was Brody’s best friend. I had known Heidi when she was friends with Lauren when we were still filming Laguna Beach. Heidi was like, ‘Hook me up with someone. I wanna meet a guy.’ And Brody and I were kinda like, ‘Well, maybe Spencer?’ We’ll see what happens.’ So we all went on a double date and they just hit it off right away and now they’re married.”
For more from Cavallari, including her reunion with Laguna frenemy Lauren and her relationship with the rest of the cast, and to hear how producers plan to "put a new spin" on The Hills next fall, pick up the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly hitting stands this Friday.

Omg, Lauren's show...what are they doing?
mtv give it up please!
Not even she can save "The Hills".
Heidi and Spencer make it unbearable to watch. Lauren enjoy your retirement from the drama. She is the smart and wise gal here!
Sounds like Speidi will be benefitting from Kristin returning to The Hills. They have a habit of leeching off other people.
I'm thrilled Kristin is going to be on The Hills. She's fun she's flirty and she dates. I love Lauren but the Hills has been crazy boring these last two years between Lauren not wanting to share her life with the cameras and her not wanting to date on the show either. I'm really excited to see what Kristin has to bring to the table. In my opionion the show has nowhere to go but up!
Didn't kristin say she was over the reality tv thing? And how this is lauren's show? Wow how quickly she changes her tune.
As a guy (and all guys' opinions), Kristin is sexier and more beautiful.
I think that's why Lauren's fans are jealous and angry.
I believe you are a guy because
your last statement was dumb.
things must be going bad for Kristin!

it's a woman's perrogative (sp?) to change her mind ;) and I'm glad she did. I wouldn't have watched the hills if it were just Heidi and Spencer but I'm excited to see Kristin again and c'mon The Hills has needed a change. Lauren has not wanted to be there for the last few years and it has showed.

Things are going bad for her because they offered her a lot of money and she accepted? Odds are she is getting at least what Heidi is making ($65,000 right?) And In this economy Kristin (or anyone) would be a fool to turn down that type of money per episode. There are many families who don't make that in a year!!
Krisitn will transform the Hills into a big show. Laguna Beach went from hot to megaphenomenon during Season 2 when Kristin took over.
Kristin is VA VA VOOM HOT!!!!!!!!
LOVE HER!!!!!!
She will make the Hills amazing!
sounds good!
