Kristin was the obvious choice.”

Lo Bosworth dishes about ‘The Hills’

In an exclusive interview with OK! Magazine, Lo Bosworth shared her fears of LC leaving ‘The Hills’, her current boyfriend, and what the show will be like when Kristen Cavalari joins the cast!

OK!: Let’s get right to it. Lauren’s leaving.
It scares me. We really are best friends. We’ve done the show for so long that we know the ins and outs — we know when we’re funny.

OK!: Is the show going to end once she leaves?
I don’t know the answer to that. We’re doing the next few episodes as part of season five, not a new season.

OK!: But your boyfriend Christian is coming on board?
I have a different boyfriend now [laughs]! I keep that separate. My new boyfriend is very happy, but I don’t bring him into this.
