She also confirmed the dramz between Montag and Conrad has cooled but “the next few episodes will be a bit of back and forth.” Lo then turned into Conrad’s unofficial publicist revealing the possible return of L.C. to The Hills : “[Lauren] hasn’t filmed in weeks and she’s really excited about that… I think she’ll come back for special occasions and stuff, but we just don’t know how many episodes she’ll return for or if there will be another season. It’s really just all up in the air.” Zzzzzz. As far as the details of L.C.’s off-camera love life, Lo explained the situation as best as she could: “With Kyle [Lauren's boyfriend], he’s an actor and so for contractual reasons he’s not on The Hills. Actors [and] reality show — it doesn’t really mix. And so for him, I think [the reason he's not on the show] really is business.” Real actors on The Hills would mix about as well as oil and water!
