A lot of faces have come and gone since ‘The Hills‘ debuted on MTV in May 2006, and in honor of the show’s July 13 series finale — we know, we’re sad, too — we’re playing catch-up with a few of the most memorable ‘Hills’ stars of the past, starting with, of course …
Lauren “L.C.” Conrad
Conrad’s the one that started it all, as the ‘Laguna Beach’ star’s move from her Southern California hometown to Los Angeles to launch her career in the fashion industry sparked ‘The Hills’ as a ‘Laguna Beach’ spin-off. For five seasons, ‘The Hills’ revolved around L.C’s educational pursuits at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, her internship at Teen Vogue, her romantic pursuits with Jason Wahler and Brody Jenner and her friendship with former roommate Heidi Montag.
After that last friendship went sour — with Heidi’s hook-up with Spencer Pratt — LC began to focus on friendships with Audrina Patridge and Whitney Port, and in the middle of ‘The Hills’ fifth season, made her final appearance on the show (at, of all places, Heidi and Spencer’s wedding).
Since her reality TV days ended, Conrad has written two bestselling novels (a third one will be released in October), launched the LC by Lauren Conrad clothing line at Kohl’s and started dating a scripted TV celeb, ‘My Boys’ star Kyle Howard. Conrad confirmed last month that she won’t return to ‘The Hills’ for the series finale, but will pop in for the post-finale reunion special on July 13. 
Jason Wahler
Lauren even gave up a summer trip to Paris for Teen Vogue to stay in Los Angeles with boyfriend Jason in ‘The Hills’ season one finale, but their tempestuous relationship finally crashed and burned at the beginning of season two.
Post-’Hills,’ Wahler has continued to make headlines, but not positive ones. He’s scheduled to be a part of the next season of VH1′s ‘Celebrity Rehab’ with Dr. Drew Pinsky, but his drinking escapades have led to racist rants, instances of him getting drunk and throwing his shoes at people and allegedly hitting a tow truck driver, all chronicled in many, many posts at TMZ.com. And, since the beginning of 2010, he’s been arrested for a bar fight in Mexico, was booked later in March on suspicion of DUI and, in June, was arrested at a party in Hollywood after being accused of hitting a female.
Jen Bunney
Bunney was a longtime friend of L.C.’s — such a good friend, in fact, that Lauren presented her with diamond jewelry for her birthday in a season two ‘Hills’ episode. But, later (in that same episode!), Bunney spent some up-close-and-personal time with L.C.’s ex, Brody Jenner, in a messy, sneaky situation that also involved Spencer and another of Lauren’s so-called friends, Heidi. Bunney was dismissed from L.C.’s clique with that action, and was an infrequent presence on the show afterwards.
Earlier this year, Bunney popped up in photos with Heidi Montag, who’d just announced that she was splitting with husband Spencer and would star in a new reality show with Bunney (a newly blonde Bunney, who, like Heidi, looked like a completely different person after some reported plastic surgery). But, like so many others before her, Bunney learned — via the media, of course — that Heidi is a fickle friend, as the soon-to-be-ex-Mrs. Pratt reportedly no longer wants to be Bunney’s reality TV BFF … after, Bunney says, she quit her job to star in the show.
Elodie Otto
Elodie was Heidi’s friend and confidant when the clueless Montag worked for nightlife entrepreneur Brent Bolthouse at Bolthouse Productions. Elodie made the mistake of sharing her ambitions for a promotion at the company, which prompted Heidi to go for — and get — the promotion, and, more importantly, the sweet private office, for herself. And another Heidi Montag friendship bit the dust. But Elodie moved on from Heidi and the gig at Bolthouse, and is now an SEO specialist for a hotel chain based in Scottsdale, Arizona, and comments on her favorite reality TV shows at her blog, SEO Showbiz Gal.
Jordan Eubanks
Former baseball player and aspiring actor Eubanks (he had starred on the MTV series ‘Damage Control’ prior to ‘The Hills’) was the pre-Spencer Pratt boyfriend of Heidi Montag during the show’s first season (he gave Heidi a puppy or Christmas on the show). Since then, Eubanks has continued to pursue his acting career, including co-producing and starring in the indie flick ’2 Dudes and a Dream,’ which also starred Simon Rex, Nikki Ziering, Jason Mewes, Andy Milonakis and the aforementioned Jason Wahler.
Emily Weiss
She was the super intern who swept into Teen Vogue in season two and taught Lauren and Whitney a thing or two about ambition. Not surprisingly, Weiss is still working in fashion media, as a freelance fashion assistant at Vogue.com.
Doug Reinhardt
He had grown up in Laguna Beach with L.C. (and had taken her to his senior prom), and after his stint as a minor league baseball player ended, he moved to Los Angeles and was reunited with Lauren, who dated him briefly during the fourth season of ‘The Hills.’
Reinhardt, whose stepfather invented the frozen burrito, went on to even more famously date Paris Hilton in 2009 (the two were rumored to be engaged at one point), and last month, was linked to Miss World USA Lane Lindell. Career-wise, Reinhardt is the co-founder and CEO of FUGEN Mobile, a mobile messaging and applications services company, and he and his family are following in Kardashian footsteps as the stars of the upcoming E! reality series ‘Reinhardts: Family Comes First.’
Jayde Nicole
The 2008 Playboy Playmate of the Year dated Brody Jenner during ‘The Hills’ fifth season, but the pair constantly fought and eventually ended their relationship before the end of the season. Post-’Hills,’ Nicole vowed never to watch the show again, though she’s rumored to be developing her own reality series for E!.

A glimpse of a Brody Jenner tattoo on his forearm yesterday confirmed that “The Hills” star and the Canadian singer/songwriter Avril Lavigne have made their relationship officially official by getting each other’s names inked onto their bodies. Already making it official once by getting matching lightning-bolt tats in April. The two took it one step further by labeling one another with property tags. Check out the full story, with pictures and video below!
Dating just four months, the unlikely couple looked as happy as ever on their way to Lindsay Lohan’s birthday party last night. Although the embattled Lilo was a no show, the paparazzi did manage to catch “The Hills” star’s forearm, where a fresh tat read “Avril.”
Stephanie Pratt apparently is not ready to end her reality TV career. It is reported that the younger sister of Spencer Pratt is moving to “The City” because her current starring vehicle “The Hills” is going to wrap up for good on Tuesday, July 13. If it is indeed true, then Stephanie would be reunited with the show’s stars Whitney Port and Olivia Palermo.
“Now that ‘The Hills’ is over, Stephanie has been talking about moving to New York for ‘The City’,” a source told NY Post. “There would be a lot of drama there because her ex-best friend, Roxy Olin, is a regular on the show – and there’s bad blood because Roxy just dropped Stephanie for Whitney Port.”
The producers and Stephanie allegedly are in negotiation terms right now and no decision has been made. MTV has not responded to the report, but a source told Gossip Cop that there is actually no discussion yet.
Now that The Hills star Heidi Montag is pretty sure she’ll be divorcing husband Spencer Pratt, she’s setting her sights on a new man. Or boy. She’s apparently trying to 16-year-old musician Justin Bieber.
Bieber fans were scandalized when a Twitter update from Heidi Montag appeared, which read: “@justinbieber now that I am getting divorced I think you and I should do a photo shoot together! Cutie 
! I’m closer to your age”.
MTV News reports that the public thinks the Hills star went too far with her comment. She did, however, deny her involvement in the statement and blamed it on Spencer Pratt instead.
“I didn’t write that thing about Bieber my fame hoer x husband hacked my Twitter and wrote that he is so lame!” Heidi Montag wrote, on a tweet addressed to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.
Aside from her dismissal of Spencer Pratt, there’s another person in Heidi Montag’s life that she wants to get rid of. X17 Online reports that the Hills star has expressed desire to cut off ties with her friend Jennifer Bunney, who she’s planning to have a reality show with.
Ever since she spoke to the press about what’s been going on between Spencer and Heidi, it’s been difficult to stay friends with the two. “Heidi is trying to distance herself from Jen … not even returning her calls. Ever since Jen has returned from Hong Kong, she’s been calling Heidi non-stop asking about this summer’s show. Heidi is definitely over her,” a source told the publication.
They then talked to Jennifer Bunney about it, who said: “I knew something was up because she honestly has not called me back. [...]This is just so shocking because I’ve been so supportive of her. I quit my job because she told me to. I was supposed to move in with her within the next couple of days.”
Heidi Montag, meanwhile, is still wrapped up in her own world, which apparently involves the Shannon twins, stars of The Girls Next Door. They’re her “BFFS” now. Or until she decides to ditch them too.

After reports broke out that Heidi Montag has walked out on her husband Spencer Pratt, many have speculated that they’ve separated for good. Things haven’t been going well since their departure from The Hills, but it seems as though they’re just taking a break from each other for now. Surprisingly, these two can actually tire of one another’s presence.
Jennifer Bunney, Heidi Montag’s friend and one-time The Hills guest, talked to Us Magazine about what the reality star has been up to lately. She has her husband out of her life and is already working on another venture, which of course means another show focusing on herself.
First things first though. Where will the new series be filmed? “She’s moving in with me,” Jennifer Bunney stated. It’s all part of the plan, apparently. While her relationship with Spencer Pratt is still rocky, Heidi is keeping herself busy with her career.
“They’re not divorced,” Bunney went on. “I don’t think you move in with your friend if your marriage is completely cruising along. If things are great, you don’t move out and move in with your friend.”
Despite her troubles though, the 23-year-old Hills star has been having a great time. “This is going to be the best summer of my life!!!!!!” she wrote on her Twitter. She also added her activities with Bunney, such as playing cards and listening to classical music.
On another note, Spencer Pratt hasn’t been updating his Twitter account so far. No comments have been obtained from the guy, which is rather surprising considering who we’re talking about.
But Jennifer Bunney has that covered too. “I will probably know more about that when I go up today and spend some time with him,” she said. She added that it will also be part of the new series.
“The show will depict who we really are, without the producers trying to create situations. We want it to be, different from the Hills,” Bunney explained. It would even feature the decline of Heidi and Spencer’s relationship.
Being one of those vindictive victims of recent string of Hollywood burglaries, The Hills
star Audrina Patridge has spoken out about her terrible experience. Us Magazine reports that the group of celeb-obsessed teens responsible for the notorious felony has been busted. Good riddance to that.
The 24-year-old reality TV celebrity’s home was targeted along with others, and she’s glad that the whole ordeal is finished. She also hopes that the perpetrators of the crime will learn to do what’s right, through punishment. “I know they’re trying to justify what they did by saying it was a mistake,” Patridge said, “but they need to face the consequences.”
The suspects – Alexis Neiers, Courtney Ames, Diana Tamayo and Roy Lopez Jr. – are due in court next month. All of them are being accused of stealing more than $3 million in jewelry and designer apparel, taken from the homes of numerous stars. Two others are being charged, namely Nicholas Prugo and Rachel Lee.
During the “I Dream Of Audrina” party in Atlantic City, NJ, The Hills‘ Audrina Patridge went on to say how the robbers shouldn’t make excuses for their actions. They should just deal with what’s coming to them because they deserve it.
“It’s not a mistake if you do it more than once,” she exclaimed.
Even though she’s troubled by what happened to her, life has to go on for Audrina. It has been reported that she could be leaving The Hills after this season, but she isn’t really sure yet. One thing that’s certain is her commitment to another show, which she can rightfully call her own.
“[E]verything is being negotiated and renegotiated,” Patridge said. “Right now I’m really looking forward to my new show. It’s going to be a whole different tone. It’s very raw and real. It’s not a soap documentary like The Hills. It’s more about Hollywood, what really goes on behind the cameras.”

There’s just no denying it; the fans are missing LC. Kristin Cavallari’s drama on The Hills
just doesn’t fill the void that Lauren Conrad left when she departed, and it’s very obvious given the recent ratings of the show.
According to E! Online, things aren’t looking to good for the new storylines that Kristin Cavallari has brought to The Hills. Sure, it’s not the same as LC’s but hardly anyone’s giving it a chance. Whether or not it’s worth another chance remains questionable though.
Since the premiere of the new season, The Hills
has gone further and further towards doom on the scale of ratings. The show is down one-third its usual, with the premiere which features Cavallari only getting 30 percent of the previous season premiere last April.
Even though the slow descent to failure of The Hills is apparent, the network refuses to let it go. Medialife Magazine reports that MTV stated that the series remained as the highest-rated cable show in the channel’s target audience, viewers 12-34. In addition to that, it is still the highest-rated program on television in its timeslot in that demographic.
Maybe MTV needs to check the numbers again. During the season premiere, The Hills garnered 2.36 million total viewers. Three episodes later, it received a mere 1.72 million. That’s practically half of the original number.
If LC really wanted The Hills to remain a success, as she said before, then she better return to give it a boost. Kristin Cavallari certainly isn’t doing a good job, despite the massive flirting she’s doing with everyone else’s boyfriends. There are just too many attempts to force drama on the show that it hardly works anymore.
Even the star herself has acknowledged how staged everything is. Cavallari told the Los Angeles Times before her debut that her performance on The Hills is downright fake.
“I pretty much do anything they have me do because I don’t care,” she said. “Everyone is trying to get story lines and create drama in their lives. It’s just so…fake. There’s no truth to it. At all.”
Well, now we don’t have to wonder why everyone’s been leaving The Hills – from the fans to the stars. Hopefully, the network also joins that bandwagon.
Police have caught up with Stephanie Pratt, the 23-year-old star of The Hills
better known as the sister of the fame-hungry Spencer Pratt. According to sources, the reality starlet was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. It occurred early Sunday morning in Hollywood, as reported by the Associated Press.
Los Angeles police said that Pratt was pulled over outside a nightclub in the area, at around 3:45 am. She was taken into custody, and the bail was set at $5,000. Sergeant Mark Cohan of the LAPD told MTV News that Pratt was celebrating with her The Hills castmates in celebration of Holly Montag’s 26th birthday.
Stephanie was held in the Van Nuys Division, where a spokesperson revealed the details. Later that day, the Hills star was released with a ticket. She wasn’t required to post bail, but she was still told to return for a court hearing.
Sgt. Cohan admitted that he didn’t know the circumstances of the arrest. He couldn’t quite say whether Pratt was actually pulled over for DUI or another violation.
Before the incident, a Twitter post from Stephanie Pratt was spotted. She said, “my sissy @hollymontags bday party! Just finished dinner and going to Empire but I’m pretty tired aka yes i am the party pooper 
“
This isn’t Pratt’s first brush with the law, just like many Hills celebrities. In May of 2006, she was arrested in Hawaii with Hannah Owens-Bender, the daughter of the director of ABC’s hit series Lost. The two of them were charged with second-degree theft, as well as a number of drug violations.
While she already spoke openly of her substance abuse and her struggles with bulimia in the past, she has yet to talk about this DUI incident. Neither Stephanie Pratt nor her representatives were available for comment. Even so, we bet we’ll be hearing from Spencer Pratt sometime soon.
Even though LC’s out of The Hills, there’s still plenty of her to go around. We’ve all heard of her bestselling novel LA Candy, and we know how she plans to turn it into a film. Well, the thought that it might be the next Twilight is getting more support thanks to recent events. I guess it’s another reason for me to stay away from it.
Moving on, Variety reports that Temple Hill Entertainment has already bought the rights to Lauren Conrad’s debut novel. The company’s partners Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey of Twilight fame are all geared up to produce. The reality TV star will certainly be involved, as she’ll take on the role of executive producer through her Blue Eyed Girl Prods. banner.
“Lauren, who became an icon in that reality show world, came to us with a structure of how to tell the story in an interesting fashion that was separate and apart from the book,” Bowen explained.
He went on to sing the praises of LA Candy, which is based on Lauren Conrad’s experiences with Laguna Beach and The Hills. It follows the exploits of a 19-year-old girl named Jane Roberts who moves to Hollywood and ends up starring in a reality television show.
“We loved her take. Her book is an honest portrayal of what it must be like to set out to be normal, then sign on to become famous and eventually realize, wow, this isn’t at all what I’d planned for myself.”
They’re all currently busy looking for a writer to pen the script, and that’ll come before they search for a studio/financier. Lauren Conrad will certainly be helping out with the script, even though she’s busy writing two more books as sequels to LA Candy.
Just like Twilight, it has been on the New York Times Bestseller list for weeks. Sans vampires, LC’s tome already has its share of creepy creatures, like those bitches forever sharpening their claws. It’s based on reality TV teenage drama, so what else can we expect? I can’t even begin to imagine who she’ll cast as the star of the movie.
One more cast expresses her desire to leave the “unscripted” series “The Hills“. Speaking to Hollyscoop on Tuesday, September 29, Stephanie Pratt revealed that she wants to quit the reality show after the tenth episode and that she will not be the only one. “I don’t know how much more I can take of The Hills. …The Hills is very brutal,” Stephanie said.
The younger sister of Spencer Pratt also mentioned that Audrina Patridge and Lo Bosworth will walk out with her. Several times before the fifth season went on air on MTV, Audrina herself said that she wanted to “graduate” from the show, speaking publicly that she doesn’t get along with the new star Kristin Cavallari who replaces Lauren Conrad.
Stephanie, on the other hand, stated that Kristin is not her reason of departure. “It’s not because of Kristin,” she said. “I was going to stay and see what happens after these ten episodes, but I just don’t think I can stand The Hills anymore.” With her leave, Stephanie envisioned that the show will fare much better with the new people and story lines.
In the meantime, Kristin is enjoying every moment of her time on “The Hills“, saying “I pretty much do anything they have me do because I don’t care. I mean, we’re filming a TV show. Let’s make it interesting. Let’s have a good time with it.” She was deemed “The B***h” in the promo made by MTV.
