The Hills are alive …with the sound of cash registers going ka-ching. “Hills” star Lauren Conrad has her own fashion and bag line. Take that Heidi!
“I’m serious about my lines and I do them as a designer and not as someone on a reality show. I wanted to create a brand that will last longer than my TV series,” says Conrad calling from her Hills home a few days before Christmas. No, she’s not romancing Brody Jenner, but wrapping a few specially designed gifts for friends. (It’s good to be an FOL — friend of Lauren. See below!)
Conrad has teamed with L.A.-based accessory company Linea Pelle to debut a new line of her designed clutches and handbags. The star of “The Hills” goods will be available online only at lpcollection.com and shoplaurenconrad.com.
There is a coin purse ($45), a clutch ($145) and a tote bag ($350). The bags are classic black to dark olive green to deep mahogany and some have decorative chain detailing for what Conrad calls a “chic, urban” feel. Lauren also has a fashion line of laid-back, flowing dresses and tops including a gorgeous silk teal bubble dress that has graced the pages of many magazines.
CP: Was designing clothes and bags a dream of yours for a long time?
Q: On “The Hills,” how did Heidi and Lauren know each other in the first place? They seem to be from two different worlds. — Penny, Collierville, Tenn.
A: Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag, the best friends and roommates on the first season of “Laguna Beach” spin-off “The Hills,” met during orientation at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco in 2004. (They have since become enemies.)
“Everyone in the room was kind of gothy, and we were the two blonde girls in the room scared out of our minds. I ran up to her and said, ‘Will you please talk to me,’” Heidi once told The New York Times. In other interviews, Heidi has said that she’d never actually seen “Laguna Beach,” so she didn’t recognize Lauren from the series (later, Heidi appeared briefly on “Laguna”).
During the second season of “Laguna Beach,” Lauren returned after attending school for only a semester. In 2005, she moved to Los Angeles, moved in with Heidi, began attending the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, interned at Teen Vogue and filmed “The Hills.” And the rest is MTV history.
By the way, as we learned on last Monday’s finale, MTV has ordered an additional eight episodes to extend this season; they’ll air early next year and will follow Lauren’s time in Paris and the aftermath of Spencer and Heidi’s apparent break-up — although the two members of this frequently-despised couple have since appeared together in the real world.

January 1st, 2008 • ‘The Hills’: How Much Is Set Up?
Lauren Conrad says she has reenacted some conversations and run-ins for MTV’s cameras. Since the debut of high school reality show Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County in 2004, most of Lauren Conrad’s life has been documented by MTV. But this year, on Laguna spin-off The Hills (its third-season finale airs tonight at 10 p.m.), the 21-year-old and her gal pals became more famous than ever, keeping audiences captivated both on-screen and off: The show averages about 4 million viewers a week, and for proof of their off-screen popularity…well, just scan any celebrity weekly or gossip blog site.So what makes Conrad’s life oh-so-fascinating? We checked in with the California girl to ask her ourselves. Plus, she admits which silly rumor she’d like to put to rest once and for all, and what really went down the night of the infamous ”nail polish-gate.”
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Looking back now on your life since Laguna, did you ever think you would get the opportunities that you’ve had?
LAUREN CONRAD: None of us knew what we were getting into when we signed up for Laguna, so everything that’s followed has been so crazy and unexpected. We were thrown into the spotlight very quickly [this year]. It was a lot more intense than before. We’ve had to deal with paparazzi following us, and when we go on dates, it’s reported the next day. It’s very weird.
Did you have to adjust your life at all because of the constant attention? Like now maybe when you go out, you’re not just going to wear sweatpants because someone might take your picture. Is there stuff like that you’re more conscious of?
I think it helps that [my friends and I] are all going through it together, so we can all relate. But yeah, you do have to take a second look in the mirror and do all those things. But with doing a reality show, it’s become a habit to do that anyway because you roll out of bed in the morning, and you’re making breakfast and there are cameras in your kitchen.
Is it true you had to move apartments because so many people were coming by?
Yeah. We filmed at an apartment building right next to it, but we filmed the exterior of another building because people found out where we lived and what apartment we had, and so in the middle of the night — whether they were drunk or just crazy — people would come and knock on our door. It was scary for us. So we switched apartments but continued filming in front of the other one so people wouldn’t know where we lived.
