Kristin Cavallari Joins "The Hills"

It's out with the old and in with new on "The Hills." "Laguna Beach" alumna Kristin Cavallari will replace the departing Lauren Conrad during the MTV series' sixth season, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Cavallari will make her first appearance during the show's May 31st season finale at Heidi Montag and Spender Pratt's wedding.

Conrad and Cavallari became fast rivals back in 2004 when they both vied for the same boy, co-star Stephen Colletti, on "Laguna Beach." Now three years since that show ended, Cavallari couldn't help but start her new gig with a slight snub to Conrad.

The 22-year-old said she'll showcase her energy and spontaneity, when asked how she's be different from the Conrad. Cavallari also said she plans to put more of her love life on-screen. "It’s a TV show and they need to make it entertaining," she said.

Co-stars Montag and Pratt told Entertainment Weekly they welcome the change. They credit Cavillari for introducing them and say they are looking forward to her joining the crew.

Twitterers have mixed feelings on the news:

"The Hills" to return without star Lauren Conrad

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.

Most Twitterers are saying no, expressing disappointment in not only another season but one without the main star.
