The Hills Update: Kristin Cavallari Not Joining Cast; Lauren Conrad, Whitney Port Out at Teen Vogue

At least Kristin has Matt Leinart to console her.

Meanwhile, Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port are on the unemployment line. Well, LC’s reality show, fashion line and endorsement deals aside.

A report from Women’s Wear Daily claims that Teen Vogue has decided not to renew its partnership with the MTV hit reality show next season.

Lauren Conrad worked as an intern, while Whitney Port was her West Coast fashion editor. Officials for Teen Vogue and MTV have declined comment.

But a source tells WWD that magazine officials didn’t exactly approve of the stars’ behavior, which included feuding, clubbing and making out.

“The average age of the magazine’s readership is 16 — do they really want to support the behavior depicted [in The Hills]?” a source asked.

“They also started to see that newsstand sales were flat … There was no blip on the radar when Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port were involved.”

Insiders say Conrad and Port will be still featured in some sort of working capacity, but not at Teen Vogue. Where they’ll work is anyone’s guess.

In The Hills season finale, Conrad and Port jetted off to Paris to assist a Teen Vogue editor at a ball. Plenty of footage from the trip will be part of eight “bonus” Hills episodes airing at some point this spring.
