The Hills star Audrina Patridge is quitting the show that made her famous.
The reality star has revealed she is leaving the MTV show to focus on a movie career and to develop her own show.
Patridge, who can be seen in the movie Sorority Row, revealed: “I’m almost done with The Hills.
“We’re in the middle of finishing these episodes and I’ll be leaving then.
“It feels like I’m graduating. I’m taking the next step and growing up and maturing and moving on in my life.”
The 24-year-old Patridge – who is developing her own reality show with Survivor producer Mark Burnett – said she would like to pursue acting now.
She added: “I moved to Los Angeles to be an actress and before I got onto The Hills, I was going to auditions and castings and working full-time at film studios Quixote Studios and Smashbox.
“The Hills, I feel like it’s helped me a lot going to auditions and sitting in front of the camera, blocking the camera.”

Rumer Willis says that having famous parents hasn’t helped her Hollywood career.
The actress – the daughter of movie heavyweights Bruce Willis and Demi Moore – admits their status may have got her foot in the door initially.
But she said she still had to have the talent to get roles.
She said: “When I go into an audition, my parents aren’t going to be the ones acting in the movie.
“At the end of the day, I don’t think casting directors really care.
And she said she has not had any formal training.
She said: “I did it a little bit in high school and things like that, but I never went to any specific school for it.”
Rumer, 21, will next be seen in horror flick, Sorority Row. It hits cinemas in September.

Natalie Portman has revealed a few of her favourite things to fellow actor Jake Gyllenhaal for Interview Magazine.
“I don’t think you can really improve upon Carvel ice-cream cake,” she said. Gyllenhaal pointed out he goes for Baskin-Robbins because he heard the Obamas shared their first kiss over the ice-cream.
But the actress’s music tastes are quite removed from the lolly shop. “I’ve mostly been listening to dirty rap lately. That’s sort of my scene, Really, really obscene hip-hop. I love it so much. It makes me laugh and then it makes me want to dance.”
Portman, 28, broke out some X-rated lyrics to prove her point.
She also said if she could not act she would an ideal bike messenger, since “I can make chit-chat, but not much else. I’d basically have trouble with any job that doesn’t require me to wear silly clothes and talk in funny voices.”
Stephanie Pratt has revealed that her brother Spencer and his wife Heidi Montag are reportedly considering starting a family.

The reality TV star even speculated that her sister-in-law may have got the idea of starting a family at a bookstore.
“I really feel like she went to a bookstore and saw Newlyweds: The Wife’s Edition, and so now she’s like: ‘I still want to get a house with a white picket fence… and then probably a dog, and then we’ll move on to kids. And I want to take cooking lessons.’”

Sting’s daughter Coco Sumner has said being 18-years-old is a “weird” age to be.
Coco, whose parents are singer Sting and Trudie Styler, is already a model, musician and actress at such a young age and revealed what she likes and dislikes about her age.
She said: “The best thing about being young is that you don’t really have to give a f**k. The worst thing, I guess, is… I don’t know, this age is weird. Last year I was at school.
“This year it’s work, which is kind of scary. But I still don’t give a f**k.”
Coco recently collapsed and fractured her skull on a night out but admitted she doesn’t have any memory of doing it.
She told Britain’s Love magazine: “I was the least worried person out of everyone. It’s only recently that I’ve thought, actually, that was kind of bad.
“It was six in the morning. I was sitting down for something to eat and then I stood up and the next thing I knew I woke up in an ambulance. The restaurant was in LA. I can’t remember which one it was.”

GI Joe star Channing Tatum’s wife Jenna Dewan has revealed that she thinks her husband would have been perfect to play the role of Riley in Eclipse.
Dewan, 28, said she believes Tatum, 29, would have been ideal for the role of Riley in the third instalment of the Twilight saga, Eclipse.
The part of Riley eventually went to Xavier Samuel in the flick, but Dewan believes director David Slade should have picked Tatum.
She said: “I totally tried to get him to do it. I was like: ‘Baby, do Twilight!’ Oh, my god. I’m a huge Twilight fan. I’ve read all the books. So I was like: ‘You should do it, you should do it, you should do it!’”
The Public Enemies actor met Dewan on the set of the 2006 dance movie Step Up and began dating soon after. They married last month in Malibu, California.

Dakota Fanning has reportedly been lined up to play the role of Dorothy in a remake of The Wizard of Oz.
The 15-year-old actress is tipped for the lead role in the movie, which could start filming in the UK next year.
If the film is remade it would be 70 years since the original film was made, starring 16-year-old Judy Garland. It is claimed the movie’s remake would be “darker and more action-packed” than the original, according to a Warner Brothers executive.
Producer Basil Iwanyk said: “It will be set in the present day and feature Dorothy’s granddaughter.”
Co-producer Todd McFarlane told British newspaper the Sunday Express: “You’ve still got Dorothy trapped in an odd place, but she’s much closer to the Ripley character from Alien than a helpless singing girl.”
Terence Doyle, the editor of British Film Magazine, said: “We’re perfectly placed to make it here in Britain. We have some of the best special techniques in the world and, post Harry Potter, they’ll all be twiddling their thumbs.”

That ’70s Show actress Mila Kunis says she gets into so many accidents that her black-and-blue body is “always bruised up”.
The 26-year-old actress said: “I had a snowboarding accident. I fell off a horse. I’ve had concussion, a fractured rib… I walk into walls. I’m always bruised up.”
In fact, the Ukraine-born actress happily showed off her latest scar that stretches across her throat. She got it while “being stupid” on a jet ski in Hawaii, she says.
Kunis moved from the Soviet Union to Los Angeles with her family when she was seven.
She learned English while watching The Price is Right.
But although one of her first jobs was playing the younger version of supermodel Gia Carangi, in the TV movie starring Angelina Jolie, she says her parents never let her get too big-headed.
“I had a normal upbringing and went to public school,” says Kunis, who admits that co-star Ashton Kutcher helped her with her science homework when they were on That ’70s Show.
“If I ever, even for a second, started getting a big head, I was brought back to reality pretty quickly. I was working full time and still had to fight for a cell phone.
“Then, the car thing came around. Oh, my God. You would have thought I was asking for a private jet! I kicked and screamed and I got my stupid car.”
Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher said he has “no desire” to watch wife Demi Moore making out with guys on-screen.
Kutcher, 31, addressed rumours that he had said he gets jealous at watching his wife’s love scenes in movies.
He said: “I never said that I get jealous. I just don’t like to watch them. I have no desire to see her making out with another dude.”
Kutcher also spoke about what his wife thinks about his on-screen relationships with co-stars such as Cameron Diaz.
He told Britain’s OK! magazine: “She [Demi] is really proud of me. It’s my job – what we do is that we go to work. If you’re in a healthy relationship, your partner roots for you at work to win and do well. Our job is to sell relationships to audiences and make it believable.”
Twilight hunks Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are battling it out to win the affection of their female lead, according to reports.
In a mirror of the vampire film, where the characters vie for the attention of heroine Bella, played by Kristen Stewart, now rumours are circulating that the love triangle is for real.
According to a source, Taylor has a crush on Kristen who is thought to be dating Pattinson but she is not interested.
Pattinson is now thought to be concerned by the friendship between his two co-stars.
An insider said: “Lautner definitely has a crush on Kristen. She treats him like a brother.”
Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen is gearing up for a bigger role in the show for the next season.
The show’s executive producer Stephanie Savage said that Taylor’s character Jenny is having to learn the ropes of becoming Queen Bee in the show.
She said: “We really do see Jenny struggling with what she is going to do with this power that has been given to her.
“She is back with Constance and now she is a junior – the same age as our other girls when the show started – so we have lots of story areas for Jenny that are opening up.”
One story area that will be opening up in the next season will be Jenny’s fashion career.
Stephanie added: “As we get more into the season, that is going to be a bigger and bigger story.”

Metro Station lead singer Trace Cyrus was recently interviewed by Details magazine to talk about his life and career. When Miley Cyrus’ older half-brother was compared to the Jonas Brothers, he said “I’m not trying to clean my image to make anyone happy. I could have gone the route of the Jonas Brothers. Those guys can’t live their lives freely. They have to put out this image that’s totally fake.” The reporter then jokingly asked which of the three members of the band of brothers would be the toughest to fight. Trace replied “I don’t think any of them would be much trouble. I’d never lay a hand on Nick—I love that kid—but the other two better not get in my way.”
