She’s already a reality star and a fashion designer, but Lauren Conrad is adding another title to her crowded resume: Author.
Conrad, 22, has signed on to write a three-book series of young adult fiction for HarperCollins. The books – the first of which is scheduled to hit shelves in the summer of 2009 – will be loosely inspired by Conrad’s own experience going from an ordinary teen to a reality TV star.
“It’s definitely influenced by my own life,” said Conrad. “The books are about a girl who moves to L.A. and stars in a reality show, so obviously there are some similarities.”
So will Hills costars like Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt or Brody Jenner wind up as in Conrad’s series? Not exactly.
“I’m not trying to do a fictional story based on all my friends in my real life because their stories aren’t really mine to tell. Some of the characters may symbolize people in my life, but it is in no way calling anyone out.”
They’ll give anyone a book deal these days — on a more interesting note, did you know there was a “Feet Magazine“?

How much does MTV pay the stars of its smash unscripted series The Hills?
Lauren Conrad earns $75,000 per episode — and that’s a fact that has left some of her series co-stars seething, a new In Touch Weekly scoop claims.
“The only reason LC gets paid more than anyone else is because she demanded in her original contract that no one could ever get paid more than her.
The salaries are based on who people care about watching more If you bring drama, you’ll get more money.”
Fashion forward LC is expected to earn $1.4 million for the complete fourth season of The Hills. Let’s see how much her cast mates earn.
Heidi Montag: $65,000 per episode ($1.25 million per year)
Spencer Pratt: $65,000 per episode ($1.25 million per year)
Audrina: $35,000 per episode ($665,000 annually)
Whitney: $20,000 per episode ($380,000 per season)
Brody: $10,000 per episode ($190,000 a year)
Lauren “Lo”: $10,000 per episode ($190,00 for The Hills Season 4)
Stephanie: $8,000 per episode ($152,00 for Season 4)
Frankie: $0
My thoughts … Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt make entirely too much money! These people will never go away unless they become broke. Boycott!

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are serious!!
The two were partying at the Beatrice Inn in NYC last Friday night when Ashley Olsen struck up a conversation with Samantha and Lindsay became enraged with jealousy. Insecure much?
Lindsay screamed at Ashley,
“Get your 15-year-old ‘Full House’ ass away from my girlfriend.”
Aside from being one of the funniest lines I’ve ever heard, Lindsay is being a tad obsessive — don’t ya think?
Furthermore, Gawker appears to have discovered Lindsay’s Facebook page that’s under the name “Lindsay Ronson“.
 She’s friends with Marc Jacobs, his ex-fiancé (and former hooker) Jason Preston, The Hills’ Lauren Conrad, model Jessica Stam, random internet socialite Cory Kennedy, and a whole host of other notable idiots.
She’s friends with a “Hiilary Duff” (a notorious enemy) and, judging by her “Wall,” she and model Lauren Hastings seem to be in some sort of fight. Also, as you can see from her “Status,” she’s totes serious about her new sober living (”It was 430 am!!!” she offers as cryptic explanation for something), even though she’s been seen hard partying all over the place.
I find it hard to believe that any celebrities use Facebook and MySpace — I mean, when do they have the time to sit at the computer like all of us hacks do?
A screen shot of her “Wall” is after the jump, click “Continued” below.

Here’s the Top 10 Hollywood Heir Heads.
How often do a brother and a sister make the top 10 of the same list?
10. Ally Hilfiger - Before “Laguna Beach,” in 2003 “Rich Girls” ruled the MTV privileged kid reality slot. Ally and her then friend, Jaime Gleicher, had every aspect of their Manhattan lives featured. During its only season, the daughter of famed designer Tommy claimed her father invented Cargo pants. Since the show wrapped, she’s visited rehab, but also recently had an art exhibit at the Chelsea Art Museum.
9. Stavros Niarchos III - The grandson of shipping tycoon Stavros Niarchos, who was a rival of Aristotle Onassis, is best known for dating Paris Hilton, Mary-Kate Olsen (also both further down this list) and Lindsay Lohan. But he’s made the news on his own merit too — he once paid a homeless man to pour a drink over his head (just for fun).
8. Fabian Basabe - Son of an Ecuadorian businessman, in 2005 he married Martina Borgomanero, heir to La Perla lingerie. During his time in the limelight as being famous for doing nothing (he appeared in E!’s 2005 “Filthy Rich: Cattle Ranch”), he’s had a knack for making the gossip sites for negative news. He sued trendy NYC nightspot Bungalow 8 for not letting him in, called the doorman of a Hamptons hot spot the N word and has received a DUI. Never shy, he recently accused Tyra Banks of having an unfortunate accident in her pants on his blog.
7. Barron Hilton - The younger brother of Paris and Nicky recently initiated himself as the newest member of the celebutante lot by getting arrested for DUI. Is it cynical to ask if this was his ‘first’ DUI? Unlike role model sis, Paris, parents Rick and Kathy didn’t pay his bail.
6. The Olsen Twins - The super rich sisters are heirs to their own fortune. They make our list because even though they’ve made their money by actually working, they had to wait until their 18th birthday to collect it. Fixtures in the club scene, these fashionistas now rub elbows with society’s elite. Mary-Kate might be considered the breakout star partly because of her role on the critically acclaimed Showtime series, ‘Weeds.’ But, more likely, it’s because she’s allegedly been hospitalized for anorexia and reportedly was having a relationship with Heath Ledger during the time of his death.
5. Cisco Adler - Son of the son of music producer and director Lou Adler, Cisco is the front man for his own band, Whitestar. Famous for dating Hollywood starlets like Lauren Conrad and Mischa Barton, he’s most famous for a nude photo that circled the Internet in 2006 in which his nether regions seem stretched (Note: not the region that would be flattering). His band starred in 2007’s VH1 Reality show, ‘The Rock Life.’
4. Kim Kardashian - This curvy daughter of the late O.J. Simpson lawyer Robert Kardashian and current wife of Bruce Jenner, Kris Jenner, currently stars in E!’s “Keeping Up With The Kardashians.” Following the footsteps of heiresses before her, she gained notoriety for a sex tape scandal with R&B singer Ray J (Brandy’s brother). She has recently been accused of stealing her co-star’s mother’s credit cards to purchase clothes, when she was working as Brandy’s stylist.
3. Brandon Davis - Born Brandon Zarif, Brandon is a grandson of oil magnate Marvin Davis. He’s been to rehab twice, but if there is truth to famous photos, he should be there more often. He famously went on a caught-on-tape rant with famous fellow socialite friend, Paris Hilton, where he continuously called Lindsay Lohan ‘Fire C#$%*’ in 2006.
2. Nicole Richie - Lionel’s daughter’s first arrest was in 2003 for heroin possession. Later that year, “The Simple Life” debuted on Fox and the reality show co-star “frienemy” Paris Hilton gained instant notoriety. In 2006, the nickname “Wrong Way Richie” emerged after the star was pulled over driving the wrong direction on the 134 freeway in Los Angeles. She served about 82 minutes of jail time for the crime. However, recently she’s cleaned up her act — she has since had a baby and started a charity with her boyfriend, Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden.
1. Paris Hilton - If you look up the word ‘celebutante’ in the dictionary, her name is likely listed. This uber-famous ’singer,’ ‘actress,’ ‘model’ and ‘writer’ is an heiress to the Hilton Hotels franchise. Already famous in society pages, Hilton skyrocketed to super stardom when a sex tape with Rick Salomon went public. This former LA County Jail resident (she spent 22 days there in June 2007 for charges stemming for violating probation over a DUI) makes an impressive income for ‘doing nothing.’ Forbes estimates she made $7 million in 2007 combined through all of her ventures.
