According to Perez Hilton, Audrina Patridge confirmed the news this past week.

“There is going to be a fifth season. We just found out. At one point, all of us were like, ‘No, we don’t want to do another season,’” she said. “I wanted to do more movies, and Whitney moved to New York and she’s doing her own spin-off. We have fun with each other and we’ve stuck it out this long. We might as well do another one,”

USA Today posted an interview with Lauren Conrad:

The Hills made Lauren Conrad an MTV darling and paparazzi favorite.

But is there any chance we’ll see her on an MTV reunion show in 10 years? “I hope not!” she says, laughing. “I really hope not.”

The future of The Hills (Mondays, 10 p.m. ET/PT) remains cloudy as the show approaches its Dec. 22 finale, which will close out its fourth season. The stars are finding plenty of other things to do. Whitney Port is getting her own spinoff, The City, which follows her exploits in New York. Audrina Patridge has a role in the horror film Sorority Row. And Heidi Montag seems to have her hands full with boyfriend Spencer Pratt.

Conrad is busy, too. She’ll continue the Lauren Conrad Collection fashion line. And she’s writing three books loosely based on her life; the first installment in the L.A. Candy series is expected next summer.

Here’s the run down on Lauren Conrad’s current friends on THE HILLS, courtesy of LA Times.com:

Heidi Montag, friend-turned-foe: 
Former BFFs with Lauren, Heidi lost standing when Lauren blamed Heidi
and her boyfriend Spencer for spreading rumors that Lauren had made a
sex tape with ex-boyfriend Jason. Heidi denies it was her, and Lauren
has rejected all attempts at reconciliation.

• Audrina Patridge, unclear: 
Lauren’s former roommate Audrina was there for her during the height of
her feud with Heidi but has since moved out after having become a fifth
wheel to Lauren and her other BFF Lo. Their friendship could be tested
by rumors that her on-again, off-again boyfriend Justin “Bobby” Brescia
hooked up with Lauren.

• Spencer Pratt, foe: 
Stole Heidi from Lauren and is accused of being the mastermind behind
the sex-tape rumors. As long as he’s with Heidi, there will be no truce
between the women.

• Brody Jenner, friend: 
Their fling turned into friendship after he cheated on Lauren with
Jennifer Bunney. (Go figure.) His main job now is to do whatever it
takes to stay on the show, which means trashing Stephanie to Lauren for
as long as it earns him camera time.

• Lo Bosworth, friend: 
Lauren’s childhood friend and housemate drove a wedge between L.C. and
Audrina but causes no mischief of her own. She’s there to tell Lauren
she’s “pretty” every so often.

• Whitney Port, friend:  Co-worker and Lauren’s sounding board since Season 1. Whitney is about to leave The Hillsfor New York — and her own show, the spinoff The City. Her role has been one of unwavering support.

• Stephanie Pratt, foe-turned-friend: Stephanie’s
befriending of Lauren was unexpected, because she is Spencer’s
once-loyal sister. But she’s managed to stay in Lauren’s good graces,
even while dating L.C.’s recent ex behind her back. It’s those big,
often tear-filled eyes of hers. They get Lauren every time.

A new guy is (or at least was, when this was filmed) rocking Lauren Conrad’s love life, as shown on tonight’s season premiere of The Hills.
In the sneak preview below, Lauren Conrad preps for a date with mediocre baseball player - and Laguna Beach native - Doug Reinhardt.
Before departing, LC also chides BFF Lauren “Lo” Bosworth and her quasi-feud with their third roommate (and wheel), Audrina Patridge.

LA Times gives their viewpoint on Ms. Lo

LET’S GET it out of the way up front: Of course it’s Lo’s fault. All of it. Had Lo Bosworth not divebombed into “The Hills” last season, Lauren Conrad’s clothes would still be selling at Kitson, Stephanie would have transferred to a fashion school in the Midwest, and Audrina would be harvesting a garden — fresh basil, heirloom tomatoes, sunchokes — out by her guest house at Lauren’s crib.

Right?

Looks like Audriana did more than just have fun hanging out at the X Games in Los Angeles last month. She came away with a new boyfriend, Corey Bohan, an Australian BMX rider. Guess she found a way to get her gold!

At a private hilltop location in Los Angeles, The Hills cast and their fans on Monday celebrated the Season 3 finale with a blow-out party that featured a performance by Usher, a screening of the season closer and cocktails on a lawn with sweeping views of the city. Despite the unusually chilly temps, the stars turned out in their hottest threads, including frocks from Lauren’s line for her and Lo. The conspicuous absences of Heidi and Spencer (rumored to be sequestered elsewhere) were the big buzz, but the cast stayed mum on why the pair didn’t show. (more…)

Audrina Partridge woke up one morning a few years back and decided it was time to pose for Playboy. She grabbed a friend and asked him to take some nude shots of her. The friend picked has jaw up off the floor and shook his head (for he could not speak). The result is this failed attempt to catch the eyes of the Playboy editors. According to the friend:

“She was determined to go ahead with it, even though she was warned to wait and see how her modeling went before doing topless stuff. She was always comfortable in front of the camera and wasn’t shy or nervous about doing a nude shoot. But Audrina’s hopes of impressing glamour magazine editors were shattered when Playboy showed no interest in her pictures.”

The insider said: “Looking at the pictures you’d say they were crazy to turn her down. She looks absolutely sensational.”
