Lauren Conrad opening up about her decision to leave The Hills

The queen of reality TV, Lauren Conrad, is opening up about her decision to leave The Hills (the fifth and likely final season debuts March 30 on MTV).
Combined with two years of Laguna Beach before that, she’s had a heck of a run. But having turned 23 last month, LC is anxious to move on.
“You see us on the show and we appear to have seminormal lives, but if you read any celebrity news, the cast is being swarmed by paparazzi,” she says. “I’m excited to go back to having just one life. There were times that I got them confused.”
But the decision to leave is still bittersweet.
“I’ve spent the last five years making every decision be about the show. The people I date have to be able to film, the places I work have to let us film and the places I live have to have set lighting,” said the beautiful star.
“I loved doing it and had so much fun for the past couple of years, but it came to a point where I had done it long enough.”
Lauren Conrad has kept her growing relationship with My Boys’ Kyle Howard (above) off The Hills, which was a tall order. She says the balancing act is “very difficult, because when you’re with someone, they become a very big part of your life.”
She also admits it’s stressful being followed 24-7-365.
“There have been some scenes – extra scenes that may never come out – of me getting upset, taking my mic off and locking myself in my room,” she says. “There was a time I was really stressed, and would get sick a lot. I think all of Season Three!”
Producer Liz Gateley said they’re still figuring out how to give Lauren Conrad a big send-off – and how to potentially continue the show without her.

I Adore Lauren!She made the show!!!I refuse to watch Hiedi She’s So plastic!!And Hiedi’s mom is right she looked way better before ALL that plastic surgery!!I adore Cristin Cavellari too!!I despise Audrina & Hiedi!Ugh!!
April 25th, 2010 at 1:15 pm

And I really dislike that Kristen girl!!
April 25th, 2010 at 1:46 pm

April 25th, 2010 at 2:14 pm
The show needs lauren, she’s was the only real person on the hills. The show sucks now…..
April 25th, 2010 at 3:29 pm
the show isn’t the same without lauren, and kristin isn’t making it any better. kristin starts all of the drama and splits everyone up. she’s a no good slut (L) the hills isn’t even the hills anymore like, honestly? lauren’s not on, a lot more of drama, heidi starts doing drugs & just about everything else, her and spencer get divorced. the show’s going down hill. i’m glad that this is the last season, nobody wants to watch kristin and her group of whores walk around like they’re the queens. |:
April 26th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
omg. I loved the hills with lauren in it, without her there is no “HILLS”, I really don’t like that new girl Kristin, she’s just not the right person for the show. I really hope that Lauren comes bakk. LUV HER.
April 27th, 2010 at 6:26 pm
You were honestly the only reason I watched The Hills. It’s so different without you. Best of luck!
April 28th, 2010 at 6:08 am

Everyone hates Kristin since Laguna Beach, so what’s the point on bringing her back? It really seems like her only job is to spoil everything!

April 10th, 2011 at 2:40 pm
The hills is lauren.
I understand her reason, and I really agree with her.
But Kirsten or Kristen w/e she made me not follow the show anymore.
To bad because I was just starting to like Lo and Steph…
