I see Stacy sticks around for the new season of The Hills?  Those crazy drama whores over at MTV!

The Hills stars reveals in the new issue of Cosmopolitan that she knew she’d had enough of the reality series when—wait for it—the producers invited Heidi Montag to LC’s birthday party. So rude!

“After the producers did that, I disappeared. If they were disrespectful, I was going to be disrespectful back. I told them, ‘You can call me in a week. Think about what you did,’ ” she tells the mag.

We bet the producers did think about what they had done: They gave LC a job, turned her into a celebrity, found ways to make her blank stares and bored sighs seem dramatic, interesting, etc. And what did she do?

Disappeared.

Careful what you wish for, LC.

Entertainment Weekly can confirm exclusively that former Laguna Beach bad girl Kristin Cavallari will be replacing Beach alum Lauren Conrad as star of The Hills. EW also has an exclusive interview with her. Quotes below.

Rumors have been circulating for weeks that Cavallari was in talks to replace Lauren Conrad on The Hills. Now EW can exclusively confirm that Cavallari will indeed be starring in MTV’s reality series. The 22-year old’s first appearance will be the May 31st season finale (she catches the bouquet at Heidi and Spencer’s wedding, natch) and she’ll appear in 10 episodes this fall. Cavallari, now a budding actress, is fully prepared to stir things up. “It’s a TV show,” she explains. “I’m not going into it like, ‘I’m going to make great friendships with these people.’ It’s work! And drama sells. I think that’s why they’re bringing me in, because I know what works.” Cavallari had plenty more to reveal in her exclusive interview with EW.

On why she’s coming back to reality TV:

“The goal for me is to get my fans excited about me again. When I first started out, I had a celebrity name but I didn’t have the acting skills I have now. If I have some buzz with my name again, I feel like it will only help.”

On rumors that producers are plotting a romance between her and Justin Bobby (which The Hills producers deny):

“I have no idea! [laughs] I don’t think MTV would be like, ‘Oh you’re dating him now. This is your boyfriend.’ But they might try and set up situations. I’m totally cool with that. Again, it’s a TV show and they need to make it entertaining.”

On how her version of The Hills will differ from Lauren’s:

“I’m a completely different person than Lauren. I have a lot more energy. I’m more outgoing. I’m a little more spontaneous. And she has a boyfriend so she’s not dating on the show. I’m very open to dating and finding a guy.”

On introducing Heidi and Spencer:

“It’s so funny. I guess it was 4 years ago. I was dating Brody [Jenner] and Spencer was Brody’s best friend. I had known Heidi when she was friends with Lauren when we were still filming Laguna Beach. Heidi was like, ‘Hook me up with someone. I wanna meet a guy.’ And Brody and I were kinda like, ‘Well, maybe Spencer?’ We’ll see what happens.’ So we all went on a double date and they just hit it off right away and now they’re married.”

It’s official: The Hills is returning this fall without star Lauren Conrad, MTV announced today.

Heidi Montag, Audrina Patridge, Spencer Pratt, Brody Jenner, Stephanie Pratt, Lo Bosworth, Justin Bobby and “fresh faces,” will be back, the network teases in a statement.

“Spencer and Heidi will be newlyweds, so the stakes are higher than ever before for the two to make things work,” adds MTV. “Viewers will find out life in Los Angeles only gets more complicated as friendships, relationships and loyalties are tested like never before.”

Earlier this month, Montag — who wed on Saturday — told MTV News she’d “miss” Conrad — but not too much.

“I just don’t know if we need her,” she said. “I know she hasn’t been wanting to be doing this for a while, and [the life she really leads] is not on camera. So I think it’s a closing chapter for her. I’m sure she’ll have fun and success.”

When asked if The Hills could survive without Conrad, Patridge told Us: “Yes, we’re like family to our audience.”

Conrad — who is designing a new line for Kohl’s — told Us in March that the decision to leave was “bittersweet.

“I’ve spent the last five years making every decision be about the show,” she added.

PS: How great was The Hills last night?

Ryan Conklin, the impish, guitar-playing merry prankster of this season’s “The Real World: Brooklyn,” is packing his guitar and heading to Iraq on Sunday.

The former cast member of the MTV reality show is doing his second tour of duty. He talked from Fort Bragg, N.C., and said he’s eager to “get this thing started” so he can return home. He hopes to serve a rotation of just 9 months.

The 23-year-old Gettysburg, Pa., native was on the front lines three years ago. He received his deployment notice while living in the “Real World” house. It was one of show’s most poignant moments.

Conklin enlisted in the Army at age 17.
