If you hadn’t yet noticed, Lauren Conrad has just topped the NY Times’ Bestseller list for the second time in a few months.
Her new book, Sweet Little Lies is a sequel to her first young-adult novel, L.A. Candy. It’s currently holding the No. 1 spot on the Children’s Chapter Books list.
Lauren is still insisting that there was no ghostwriter involved in the writing of either book. She’s now in talks to produce a movie based on L.A. Candy.
Lauren Conrad is reportedly working on further developing her literary career by releasing a new book called “Lauren Conrad Style”.
The new style guide, published by Harper Collins, will hit shelves next year. Lauren released a statement about the book yesterday, saying,
I am really excited to write a style guide. I think fashion should be fun and reflective of who you are. When you wear clothes you feel good in, it shows in everything you do. I know this guide will offer simple, practical tips to help anyone look fabulous.
Lauren’s first book L.A. Candy, which we’re pretty sure she didn’t really write, spent a few weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list earlier this year.
Temple Hill Entertainment is turning Lauren Conrad’s NY Times Bestseller, L.A. Candy into a movie. Temple Hill partner Marty Bowen told Variety,
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. 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.
Lauren won’t be writing the film (not that she really wrote the book), but she will be “shaping the direction of the script”.
Lauren Conrad’s first book in her series, L.A. Candy is spending its second week on the New York Times Best Sellers List.
The new fictional series follows a spoiled rich kid who shoots into fame when she gets approached by a producer who wants to shoot a reality show about her life - much like the story of someone else we know.
Judging by the reviews, people are apparently surprised that the book actually doesn’t suck. Lauren released the following statement about her (ghostwriter’s) great achievement:
If someone said to me five years ago when this all started that I would one day make the New York Times Best Seller list I wouldn’t have believed it. I am so honored that it is now a reality.
Believe me, the rest of the world can’t believe it either.
Lauren Conrad shattered everybody’s reality today by admitting on The View that The Hills was all fake. Apparently even Spencer’s apology to her didn’t really happen. Gasp!
Lauren also spoke with the girls about her new book LA Candy, her body image, and other future plans.
Paris Hilton is so smart that she knows The Hills is fake, even without ever watching the show.
As you may recall, Paris’ boyfriend Doug Reinhardt was previously cast as Lauren Conrad’s boyfriend on the scripted “reality” show. According to Paris, the show is so dumb that Doug won’t be popping up in any more episodes. Paris says,
The show is, like, so lame and fake. He doesn’t even want to be a part of it. They make up relationships when they’re not there, and he just thinks it’s lame. I’ve never seen the show in my life. I have no idea what it’s about. But he just thought it was cheesy.
Even though Doug has shunned The Hills for good, he hasn’t given up on all reality TV. He’ll be making appearances on the second season of Paris’ not fake or lame show, Paris Hilton’s My New BFF, which starts airing next week.
Lauren Conrad, who recently downgraded her clothing line to Kohl’s is, according to several sources, starting to now realize that life after The Hills really has not much good to offer. One friend says,
She kind of realized, especially in this economy, there’s not much else out there for her. What else can she do that would earn as much?
Last month, the MTV producers instructed LC to lie about not attending the Speidi wedding, so we wouldn’t exactly rule out a casting fib as well.
If you’ve ever fantasized about Lauren Conrad getting boned by a dog, this episode (airing Sunday night) will blow you away, you sick bastard.
The MTV reality show crew threw together a rather impressive shoot for the season finale of The Hills (Heidi and Spencer’s sappy fake wedding). Over 200 guests showed up at the Westminster Presbyterian Church today for the publicity event.
A skywriter was hired to write “Spencer Loves Heidi” in the sky before the event. Guests present at the ceremony included many cast members from The Hills, Heidi’s sister Holly, Spencer’s sister Stephanie, and even Heidi’s mother, father, and both of her step parents. As we previously reported, Lauren Conrad showed up as well for her big scripted reconciliation with Heidi.
Heidi wore a $19,000 Monique Lhuillier dress, and $1.2 million worth of Neil Lane jewelry for the ceremony.
Lauren Conrad spent the better part of last week hitting up talk shows and blabbing to reporters about the fact that she wouldn’t be attending that fake Heidi Montag Spencer Pratt wedding tonight. Now, however, news is leaking that Lauren is planning on showing up (at the requests of MTV producers, or course).
Apparently, the producers are setting up LC to “surprise” Speidi with an appearance at their ceremony. She’ll be arriving right before the service, and reconciling her friendship with Heidi in some sort of tearful made-for-tv reunion.
Loading ...Apparently, this is the role with all those big words and intellectual facts that LC needed to hire an acting coach to help her conquer.

After leading everyone on to believe that their fake real wedding would be last weekend, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are now reportedly setting a new fake wedding date for next Saturday.
This ceremony will take place at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Pasadena California, but according to sources, it won’t be any more legally binding than Speidi’s original wedding in Cabo. One source says,
It’s all set up by the producers of MTV to get people to watch. It’s just a plot line. They’re not really getting married, of course.
Since Spencer has finally admitted to starting that old sex tape rumor that wiped out LC’s friendship with Heidi, LC obviously won’t be in attendance on the closed set, but other Hills cast members Brody, Stephanie, Holly, Audrina, and even Lo will be present for the big day.
We totally called this one! Lauren Conrad, whose overpriced designs failed to motivate any noticeable sales, has just done a complete overhaul of her business strategy. The reality star “fashion designer” has announced that she’s currently in the process of working on a new clothing line for Kohl’s department stores. LC claims,
It is a California chic line. It is a little more casual. They are basically trying to take that California style and make it accessible everywhere.
My family has always shopped at Kohl’s, so I’ve always known about them and I think that they do a really great job.
You’ll be able to purchase LC’s new styles starting in October, and apparel prices will range from $20 to $60.
Don Brennan, senior VP of Kohl’s has just released the following statement about the line:
We are very excited to announce our partnership with Lauren Conrad, a pop culture icon whose style resonates with our contemporary customer.
We are confident the LC Lauren Conrad collection brings customers both the contemporary style and the world-class brands they want at a price that delivers incredible value.
Kohl’s has also worked on lower-end fashion lines with other “celebrities” like Avril Lavigne.
Lauren Conrad may have had no problem acting stupid on The Hills, but when it came to acting somewhat more intellectual on an upcoming Family Guy episode, LC was so stumped that she was forced to hire an acting coach.
The “actress”, who somehow earned herself a guest role on the animated show, recently told OK Magazine,
I hired an acting coach for the day to get me through it because a lot of the lines later on in the episode that I did are very complicated. There are a lot of facts and big words, and I had to say it as if it was coming to me very easily— instead of just reading them. I actually had to research some of them!
My coach that I was working with told me if I really understood what I was talking about, it would come through a little more true.
The episode, which will feature LC acting smart, is set to air on Sunday, May 3.
