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?

Reality TV fans everywhere may perhaps have to ready themselves to endure a little heartbreak- if you believe “The Hills” star Lauren “Lo” Bosworth, it seems “The Hills” days may be over.
Lauren Bosworth recently spoke to Star magazine, and when asked if the show has seen it’s last drawn out catfight, Bosworth confirmed that the show was kaput. Said Lauren Bosworth, “Definitely. It’s over.”
Lauren Bosworth was out with her boyfriend in Los Angeles at Motley Bird Nest, when she spoke to Star magazine.
Bosworth weighed in on Lauren Conrad’s relationship with co-star Brody Jenner. Said Bosworth, “Lauren and Brody will never get together in the future because they are just really good friends. He is very serious about his girlfriend [Cora Skinner].”
Lauren Bosworth also made clear that she isn’t thinking about marriage or babies just yet…in fact, Bosworth wouldn’t even reveal her boyfriend’s name.. We’re sure that’s just fantastic for the mystery man’s self-esteem. Of her and her boyfriend, Bosworth said, “”We’re so young! I’m only 21.”

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 responds back to all the rumors about plastic surgery, Heidi Montag and the future of the show, on her myspace blog.

Lauren Conrad dropped by Monday’s edition of The Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about her reality TV hit The Hills, which returns March 24.

LC discussed moving into the new house she bought in L.A., with her BFFs Audrina Patridge and Lauren Bosworth joining her as roommates:

“[MTV] filmed us moving in. There were three girls. We had a lot of stuff. It was raining the whole weekend. We had like 15 crew members with cameras.  It was madness… We thought the house was haunted. It was built in 1922 – it was an old house. We felt it was kinda creepy. We were probably freaking ourselves out but we were convinced it was haunted. We saged it [to remove the creepiness].” (more…)

Lauren Conrad, one of the stars of the MTV reality show “The Hills”, has announced that her fashion clothing line, the Lauren Conrad Collection, is now available in stores.  She showcases her own stylings Tuesday during L.A.’s Fashion Week.

Among the striking dresses, the Whitney, a homage to Conrad’s “Hills” friend Whitney Port, is a dainty straps and A-line skirt shape, perfect for summer, while the Audrina is a seductive dress cut short above the knee, yet another homage to Conrad’s roomie Audrina Patridge, also a “Hills” star.
