According to People.com,"The Hills" will be continuing its fifth season in the fall without the show's leading lady, LC--otherwise known as Lauren Conrad. A press release from MTV stated that "the drama continues with fresh faces, new stories and shocking surprises."

People.com and LATimes.com are asking viewers if they will keep watching the show despite the fact that Lauren is leaving.
