Lo Bosworth: I Am Not Starring in L.A. Candy Movie!
Jen Lowery/Startraksphoto.com
Reports of Lo Bosworth starring in the movie adaptation of Lauren Conrad's novel, L.A. Candy, have been greatly exaggerated.
Lauren was quoted recently saying that not only has Lo taken acting classes, but that Lo was also her first pick for the flick. L.A. Candy is being made for the big screen by the producers of Twilight.
"It was more of a joke than anything," Lo explained to us the other day at Jumpstart and the Pearson Foundation's National Read for the Record Day event in L.A.
"We were on the red carpet together and they were like, 'Who do you want to be in the movie?'" she said. "I would love to make a cameo, but I don't think I could handle a big role because I'm not an actress. A cameo would be really fun."
Not so fun anymore? The Hills…

Forget The Hills. That reality show is so, like, totally last year for Lauren Conrad.
Just today, Ms. Conrad launched a new clothing line for Kohl's department stores. And yesterday, it was announced that she has struck a deal for the movie adaptation of her debut novel, L.A. Candy.
"I've had a good week," Conrad told me as she was getting ready for a party tonight celebrating her Kohl's collection.
That's putting it mildly.
Her partner in the movie deal is Temple Hill Entertainment, which also happens to produce—get ready for this—the Twilight flicks!
Read on to find out what L.C. told me about working with Kohl's, appearing in the L.A. Candy movie and meeting Robert Pattinson…

Audrina Patridge apparently isn't the only Hills starlet Brody Jenner isn't hanging out with at the moment.
Believe it or not, the once inseparable Brody/Lauren Conrad duo is no longer attached at the hip.
"I haven't seen much of her since she left the show," Brody admitted to us recently. "I ran into her out and about a week ago just by chance, but that's it."
So what's the deal?

She may have left The Hills, but that doesn't mean Lauren Conrad is done with television.
The former MTV darling tells me she's determined to get her debut novel, L.A. Candy, adapted for the small screen.
"It’s one of my hopes," said Conrad, who will hold court tonight at her book party at the Thompson Hotel in Beverly Hills. "We're going to start working on that when I get back from my book tour."
She also may be working on another reality show. She refused to hear any pitches after the cameras stopped rolling on her last season of The Hills, but now…

Lauren Conrad may not realize it, but there's a knife in her back.
L.C.'s supposed pal Holly Montag has already jumped ship to Team Kristin. "I think Kristin's openness is going to be far more entertaining than anything Lauren had to offer," Holly told us after enjoying some afternoon cocktails at yesterday's Oakley Intro to Summer event at Skybar in West Hollywood.

Kristin Cavallari has finally confirmed she will be replacing Lauren Conrad on MTV’s pseudo-reality show The Hills.
No stranger to drama, Kristin is already being targeted by Team Lauren. Let’s start with Erin Lucas, Whitney Port's BFF on sister show The City.
“Kristin’s got really big shoes to fill and an even bigger ego, so I can see disaster coming from a mile away,” Erin tells us. “Lauren is such a genuine girl. She wears her heart on her sleeve, and she was real with the whole thing. I don’t think Kristin is on that level."
That's not all Erin has to say. Keep reading for more, plus find out which Hills star says she's "terrified" about Kristin's arrival...
Lo on Lauren: Speidi Could Replace Her on The Hills

Lo Bosworth may not want to see her best friend Lauren Conrad leave The Hills, but she does think the series can survive without her.
In fact, Lo thinks Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt could probably replace Ms. Conrad as the MTV reality show's headlining act.
"They get great press on their own, so there's always the possibility that the show can do really well with them as main parts," Bosworth told us last night at the IS vodka-sponsored opening of new Hollywood nightspot Halo.
Lo thinks, however, that season five may not end all L.C. appearances on The Hills...
Late Nights With DiCaprio, Portman & Conrad
If it's Monday, it's time for a wrap-up of this weekend's celebrity nightclubbing.
Natalie Portman hit Bardot in Hollywood with a girlfriend. Lauren Conrad and boyfriend Kyle Howard stopped by a friend's birthday party at h.wood at the same time Thomas Jane was there celebrating his B-day with family and friends, including wife Patricia Arquette and David and Courteney Cox Arquette. (Yeah, the birthday boy and Medium star seem to have reconciled, which I first told ya about at Oscar time when they cohosted a soiree for singer Eric Lewis, aka ELEW.)
Paris Hilton headed straight for Las Vegas yesterday after vacationing in Hawaii with beau of the moment Doug Reinhardt. She actually kept a low profile, scouting locations at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino for the second season of her MTV reality show, My New BFF.
Leonardo DiCaprio was also out and about in the wee hours. Click on my video blog above for all the DiCap details.

Brody Jenner: Boys Do Cry!

Brody Jenner is so hot, he even makes straight guys cry.
In Bromance, Jenner's new MTV reality show—in which nine young guys compete to replace his former best friend Spencer Pratt to become the newest member of his posse—most of the contestants end up in tears.
Jenner tells me things got particularly weepy during some one-on-one time.
"I did this whole sit-down with these guys, which we called Broprah," Jenner tells me. "I was sitting around and would say, 'OK, now tell me about...' and then all of a sudden it got to be like, 'Whoa!' We're uncovering some deep stuff. These big, grown guys are sitting around crying over being friends with a dude."
During a group chat, Jenner says, "We started to get into family things and everybody started crying. I'm sitting there and you know when everybody around you is crying, how do you not cry? It was hard not to. So there was one time I almost shed a tear."
Crying wasn't the only male bonding going on. Read on for details about Jenner's all-male hot-tubbing...

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt shouldn't be surprised if they get a wedding present from Pratt's former best friend Brody Jenner.
"Good for them," Jenner told me earlier today at the Roosevelt Hotel, where he was promoting his upcoming MTV reality competition show, Bromance. "I think if they're happy and they want to get married, I have nothing bad to say."
But does he think it will last?
