The nation was devastated when Lauren Conrad announced that after four seasons, she would not be returning to The Hills.  "What are we going to do?  Who are we going to watch eat dinner?" we said as we turned to each other with tear filled eyes but fear not tv-loving public, the show will go on.

MTV has announced that the baffling reality cash cow will return for a fifth season.  "Spencer and Heidi will be newlyweds, so the stakes are higher than ever before for the two to make things work," the network said in a statement released this week. "Viewers will find out life in Los Angeles only gets more complicated as friendships, relationships and loyalties are tested like never before."

More friendship testing?  What’s next? Literal backstabbing?

So who’s still kicking around/cashing MTV’s checks?  Heidi Montag, Audrina Patridge, Spencer Pratt, Brody Jenner, Stephanie Pratt, Lo Bosworth, Justin Bobby and "fresh faces".  I don’t think there’s any such thing as a "fresh face" in LA, but I’d love to see it drink through a straw and stare vacantly.
