Is Lauren Conrad Ready To Leave ‘The Hills’?

Back in 2004, “Laguna Beach” launched Lauren Conrad into the reality spotlight and two years later, “The Hills” turned her into a full-fledged star.

But now, LC said she is ready to leave it all behind.

“I’ve been doing it for five years. I think that it’s time for them to get someone else to step in,” Lauren told OK! magazine after debuting her new spring line at LA Fashion Week on Tuesday.

When contacted by Access Hollywood, a spokesperson for MTV said there were no plans to end “The Hills” anytime soon — with or without LC.

”‘The Hills’ will continue as long as there are stories to tell and as of now we don’t see an end in sight. We are even expanding to the east coast with The City to give you even more of these characters you love,” the spokesperson said.

Following her fashion show, Lauren was spotted hanging out with former BFF-turned-“Hills” nemesis Heidi Montag at STK in Hollywood, leading to reports the two had buried the hatchet and made up.

Heidi, who was at STK dining with boyfriend Spencer Pratt, saw LC at the restaurant and reportedly asked if she could congratulate her on her fashion show. After a brief chat, the girls were seen hugging, according to Us Weekly.

For Lauren, the strain the cameras can put on a relationship may be the reason she ultimately walks away from her hit MTV show.

“It’s more difficult when not only everyone knows about your problems, but they make them worse because things escalate and things get twisted,” LC recently said. “It’s hard to have an actual friendship be torn apart in the media.”
