Kristin Cavallari To Bring Drama To 'The Hills'

Former Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari will be “replacing” Lauren Conrad in the upcoming season of The Hills and bringing the drama with her thanks to her self-proclaimed acting skills.

EW reports the 22-year old’s first appearance will be the May 31st season finale (she catches the bouquet at Heidi and Spencer‘s wedding). Here’s what she told the mag:

On stirring up drama: “It’s a TV show. 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… 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.”
