KEY POINTS:
Bitching and backstabbing - a mainstay of reality series The Hills - will be on our screens for some time to come.
Lauren Conrad & co will return for a fourth season of the show with a whopping 19 new episodes, according to Us Magazine.
The Hills focuses on the drama-filled lives of Conrad and her group of friends - and enemies.
Conrad and pals Audrina Patridge, Lauren 'Lo' Bosworth and Whitney Port will be back for the new series, along with arch-rivals Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.
The third series, currently screening on MTV on Sky in NZ, has focused mainly on the ongoing rivalry between Conrad and Montag as well as their erratic love lives.
"The fourth season will be about what they ended up doing this summer, an insider told Us Magazine.
"Lauren and Whitney will still be working at People's Revolution. They just started shooting."
