Reality television stars Kim Kardashian and Lauren Conrad will add to their ever-expanding resumes, with an appearance as celebrity judges in cycle 13 of America’s Next Top Model.

At this stage, both Kardashian and Conrad only have one-episode gigs, with Conrad slated to stop by the show on September 16, and Kardashian a few weeks later on October 21.

However, rumour has it that ANTM is looking for a more permanent replacement on the judging panel for the newly departed supermodel judge, Paulina Porizkova, and both Kardashian and Conrad are in the running for the spot.

I guess that means they should treat their cameo appearances as an audition, of sorts.

What do you Top Model fans think? Does either of these two reality fashionistas have what it takes to become a permanent fixture in the ANTM house?

Reality star turned events planner turned author Lauren Conrad is looking to add yet another tag to her ever-growing resume: screenplay writer.

Yes, you guessed it – Conrad’s debut novel, L.A. Candy, is about to get its own movie deal, with the former Hills star revealing that a Hollywood adaptation “could be in the works very soon.”

“We’re hoping for a movie deal,” Conrad said during her hosting of the Pool After Dark party in Atlantic City on the weekend. “I’m working on [adapting the book for the movies] right now, but I don’t want to commit to anything until I see all my options. We have had a lot of exciting news in that respect, though.”

Meanwhile, Conrad has been busy adding the finishing touches to her second book, which she says is a continuation in the L.A. Candy series.

“I actually finished the first draft – I’m doing edits right now,” she said. “It picks up where the first left off. I signed a three-book deal, so this is all part of the same story. The second book will be more dramatic than the first. It’s a relief, because I didn’t have to worry about character introductions.”

While LC insists writing has been a passion of hers since she was very young, there are those close to the starlet who say it’s not really her words on the pages, but that of a ghost writer’s.

One of these critics – former friend, enemy, and Laguna Beach co-star, Kristin Cavallari – has admitted that she doesn’t believe Conrad has the ability to pull off a book like L.A. Candy; or any novel, for that matter.

“Lauren says she wrote it, but I don’t know,” Cavallari said recently. “Writing a book is not so easy.”

Conrad retaliated by saying: “I wrote my book, and I don’t really feel the need to defend it. I’ve been writing forever. I have never written anything professionally before, so this was a big step for me. [Writing] was always my best subject in school, and it’s something I’ve always loved to do.”

Lauren Conrad is a diva.

The star of MTV’s The Hills threw a hissy fit at JFK airport last week, after an airline attendant paged her over the P.A. system.

Apparently, Conrad – aka LC – was waiting for a flight to L.A. when the attendant asked her to come to the ticket counter to pick up her standby ticket.

A source explained: “LC pitched a fit [when she was paged], and was almost driven to tears because she thought people would start talking to her and bothering her. But no one even cared.”

Heh. Way to create an embarrassing, unnecessary scene, LC!

The Hills is about to be one girl down, with regular Audrina Patridge preparing to move out of Lauren Conrad’s guesthouse.

Sources say that boxes were dropped off at Conrad’s pad on Thursday, and moving vans were seen outside the L.A. home earlier today, prompting speculation that Patridge is leaving the nest.

Her decision to leave comes as no surprise, however, with tension between Patridge and Conrad coming to a head in recent weeks.

The pair have been at logger-heads for some time, and Audrina has almost moved out once before, going as far as to look for apartments with partner Justin Bobby at the end of the Hills’ last season.

These reality television alums seem to get everything handed to them on a silver platter, don’t they?

Not only is she a television star and fashion designer, but now Lauren Conrad can also call herself an author, after finalising a three-book deal with publishing powerhouse HarperCollins.

The 22-year-old star of hit show The Hills has just signed on with HC to write a three-book series of young adult fiction novels, the first of which will be released in the summer of 2009. The books will be based on Conrad’s own life experiences, going from an “ordinary” Laguna Beach teenager to reality TV star.

“It’s definitely influenced by my own life,” Conrad explained. “The books are about a girl who moves to L.A. and stars in a reality show, so obviously there are some similarities.”

However, don’t expect any of her Hills co-stars, like Heidi Montag and the big Pratt, Spencer, to show up in any of the novels. “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,” said Conrad. “Some of the characters may symbolize people in my life, but it is in no way calling anyone out.”

I wonder if she’ll include the sex tape scandal her so-called former BFF Montag reportedly leaked to the media a while back?

Lauren Conrad’s sure come a long way from her meagre beginnings on MTV’s now-infamous reality show, Laguna Beach.

The blonde beauty, who stars on The Hills, is now opening nightclubs and attending high-profile parties and fashion shows.

Things have been getting tense between the two for a while, but TMZ reports that the bitching has ratcheted up another notch.

LC came home to find Audrina in the middle of a photo shoot in the backyard, which really pissed Lauren off, because she had arranged an exclusive deal with a competing magazine.

LC blew the top off the hissy fit jar, stomping her feet and all the tricks, which was funny, because Audrina had gotten approval for the shoot from LC’s manager.

They will have to redo the argument for the cameras sometime in the next couple of days, as who would want to miss riveting television like that.

Lauren Conrad takes a stroll through Hollywood. The neighborhood looks as daggy as she does.

So who is Lauren Conrad pointing and smiling to as she checks in at LAX?

You can be pretty sure it isn’t these two.

Good on Jason Wahler for setting straight the claims of Spencer(The Complete) Pratt concerning a Lauren Conrad sex tape.

Wahler told USmagazine, “Spencer Pratt is lying again to get attention.”

“I do not have a sex tape of Lauren Conrad and one does not exist.”

“Lauren is my friend,” Wahler continues, “and it is insulting to her to suggest this.”

This follows The Complete Pratt’s claims the other day that he was 100% sure of the existence of a Lauren Conrad sex tape and that he ex-boyfriend (Wahler) was trying to sell it.

Good on Wahler for sticking it to Pratt. The sooner Montag ditches the attention seeking loser, the better.
