Lauren Conrad confesses that she has no talent: She doesn't act, sing or dance. She's just herself – in front of MTV cameras.
In 2004, Conrad starred on the first two seasons of MTV's hit reality series Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. She played the privileged, yet relatable girl-next-door and instantly became a fan favorite. In 2006, she got her own show, The Hills, which followed her as she studied fashion and interned at Teen Vogue in L.A. with other pretty 20-somethings, including Heidi Montag, Audrina Patridge, Brody Jenner and Whitney Port.
In 2007, Conrad became a full-blown TV phenom with the drama-filled third season of The Hills, where she was at the center of a rumored sex tape scandal, an ongoing feud with former BFF Montag, and a debate over the show's authenticity. In 2009, Conrad, who found an off-screen steady in actor Kyle Howard, stepped away from The Hills and concentrated on her fashion and publishing empire.
Lauren Conrad hasn't forgotten her roots.
The former Hills star has become a best-selling author, clothing designer and much buzzed-about fashionista, but she now is returning to the career that made her famous – reality TV star.
Conrad, 24, spoke about starring in a new MTV reality show about her life as a clothing designer on KIIS FM's On Air With Ryan Seacrest Friday. When Seacrest asked if the rumors of her return were true, Conrad coyly said, "It'd be safe to say [yes] . . . It would follow my career, set in L.A."
MTV later confirmed the news to PEOPLE.

Stating she has "no regrets" from her time on The Hills, Conrad's catfights with cast members and drama filled departure has taught her not to mix business with pleasure. "I've always been open to doing reality again. It's just under certain circumstances," she said. "As long as you have a separation then it works. You have your personal life and work life and when it's combined it's difficult." When asked if long time boyfriend, Kyle Howard, 32, would be part of the series Conrad replied, "Kyle would not be in it."
Conrad, who is busy promoting her new book, Sugar and Spice: An L.A. Candy Novel, and clothing line at Kohl's, will jump back into filming in October. Of the series, Conrad promises, "Details will be announced next week and it will be something very, very different."
