Lauren Conrad’s fashion line, which launched in 2007, will be put on hiatus until further notice.

According to the NY Post:

“Lauren is going to revamp her line and design with more high-end fabrics . . . things she couldn’t do the first time around,” a source close to Conrad said. Her rep told us, “With everything going on in the economy and in her life, she wants to rework her line and offerings. She will make announcements soon.”

Lauren Conrad opens up about her decision to leave The Hills after five seasons in the newest issue of Us Weekly, on stands now. “You see us on the show and we appear to have semi normal lives, but if you watch any entertainment news show, half of the cast is being swarmed by paparazzi,” the 23-year-old says. “I’m excited to go back to having just one life, because there were times that I got them confused. But the decision to leave is still “bittersweet,” she says. “I’ve spent the last five years making every decision be about the show. 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.” Conrad — who has branched out as a fashion designer and author — continues: “I loved doing it and had so much fun, but it came to a point where I had done it long enough.” Conrad has kept her growing relationship with My Boys’ Kyle Howard off the show, which she calls “very difficult, because when you’re with someone, they become a very big part of your life.”

Although she calls the cast and crew “family,” she admits it’s stressful being followed 24/7. “There have been some scenes — extra scenes that’ll probably never come out — of me getting upset and taking my mic off. I say, ‘I’m done!’ and lock myself in my room,” she says. “There was a time when I was really stressed, and I would get sick a lot. I think I was sick of all of season three!”

MTV cameras have been following Conrad since she was a high school student on Laguna Beach. Her last season of The Hills, which debuted in 2006, premieres March 30. Producer Liz Gately told the Associated Press they’re still figuring out how to give Conrad a big send-off — and how to continue the show without her.

And why would I do that?  Lauren Conrad is an author?  Since when?

Lauren Conrad: From The Hills to the best-seller’s list?

The MTV reality star’s name tops the cover of her first novel, L.A. Candy, which hits shelves June 16.

Conrad’s publishing debut is a fictional story about a 19-year-old girl named Jane Roberts who has not-so-subtle similarities to the author.

“Roberts can’t wait to start living it up,” the official book synopsis says. “She may be in L.A. for an internship, but Jane plans to play as hard as she works and has enlisted her BFF Scarlett to join in the fun.”

In the novel, the two main characters are approached by a producer who wants them to be on a reality version of Sexy and the City.

The book is about “what it’s like to come of age in Hollywood while starring in a reality TV show, written by a girl who has experienced it all firsthand,” the synopsis says.

Have you seen the trailer for season 5 of The Hills? Go here to see it.  My favorite part is when Spencer goes NUTS and attacks Cameron.

They’re back!

The Hills cast spends the day at Sunset Beach in Hawaii. They spent the afternoon filming their show in bikinis with the boys going out for an attempt at surfing. All the cast were there except Heidi and Spencer.
