Prior to today, I actually wasn't aware that we could be subjected to a new Lauren Conrad reality show. It'd be about Conrad's work as a fashion designer for her line, Paper Crown. MTV doesn't want it, though -- the head of programming for the channel called the pilot "a great attempt but it just didn’t feel like a perfect fit for us now.” According to Conrad, that's okay, because she's been fielding a "flattering" number of offers from other networks.

Heartening to know that MTV is finally wising up to the fact that Conrad is simply not interesting to watch on television, even if it took the entirety of Laguna Beach and The Hills to come to that realization. Earlier in the month, Conrad told the Hollywood Reporter that "MTV felt the subject matter was too high brow for their audience." Keep telling yourself that, honey.

The really depressing thing about this is that I'll probably watch this show, wherever it ends up. And the inevitable following one, which will be about her having kids, then the one about her midlife crisis, all the way to 40 years from now when I'll be tuning into The Hills: Golden Years.
