Looks like Lauren Conrad has more BFF drama in the upcoming fourth season of The Hills, which premieres August 18 on MTV.

Friend-turned-rival of the season: Stephanie Pratt.

The reason? Steph moves in on LC's new boy Doug Reinhardt.

Meanwhile, Lo Bosworth and Audrina Patridge try to sort out their own tensions, Whitney Port has a new man in her life, and Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt fight with their siblings - and each other.

All that ca-razy drama and a whole lot more makes the Season 4 trailer for The Hills a definite must-see. Peep it below:

The reality rumor mill is in full swing this week, hitting readers with a doozy:

Former American Idol finalist Jennifer Hudson has dumped her long-time boyfriend... for Punk, the muscle-bound sweetheart with a brain from I Love New York 2!

There have been recent pictures taken of these two hanging out together, though nothing has been confirmed yet. If true, though, let us know what you think:

Is Hudson a decent consolation prize for Punk after he missed out on Tiffany Pollard?

We're used to seeing I Love Money stars nude.

In fact, we'd be taken aback if Pumkin or Jennifer Toof were ever photographed with clothes on.

But Survivor champions are typically prim and proper. Well, except for Richard Hatch.

And Amber Brkich, evidently, as the woman that won Boston Rob's heart - and Survivor: All-Stars - posed mostly naked for an issue of Stuff Magazine. Check out the photos after this article's jump...

The love affair between British bachelor Matt Grant and his painful fiance, Shayne Llamas, has officially ended. It's shocking, we know.

Just two days after the New York Post reported that the whiny nympho was two-timing The Bachelor star with Las Vegas media mogul Justin Weneger, Lamas talked to Matt Grant and called it off - over the phone!

With Matt Grant getting dumped, The Bachelor stars are now 0-for-12!

Spies said the aspiring actress is planning a trip to see Weneger in Vegas again soon. Matt Grant, who moved from London to LA to be near his sweetie, is said to be devastated. Maybe next time he'll pick brains over beauty.

Bet Chelsea is looking pretty good right about now.

Kristy Morgan apppers to have closed down A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.

Following Morgan's rejection of Tila Tequila to end the second season of that reality dating competition, the MySpace vixen has announced that there won't be a third shot at love for her.

“I have decided that I do not want to do A Shot at Love Season 3 because I feel like this show doesn't fully represent who I am as a regular person,” Tequila wrote on her blog. “It was fun while it lasted, but as life moves on, I feel that it is important that I move on, as well."

Fret not, fans. Moving on for Tila will still include a reality show.

“Never fear my darlings, because I am definitely working on another TV show that will be all me baby! So I'm very excited about that!

I can't wait to show the world all of me and not just one small side of me....I am ready to get drunk, crazy, and have fun with my life! This is all worth it at the end of the day because I have all of my awesome fans to share this journey with."

So, to summarize: a show that does, inceed, represent who Tila Tequila is as a person will involve her drinking and acting crazy. No surprise there, we guess.

For some reason, new talk show host Wendy Williams had Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth as a guest this week.

The two unheard of, talentless irrelevant, D-list celebrities got into a cat fight in front of the audience.

Wendy called the former contestant on The Apprentice "a stereotypical black woman" - and that was just the beginning! Watch the clip now:

Bravo has announced a couple of news reality shows, each of which sounds similar to a couple of other reality shows.

First, the network is developing Top Chef: Masters, a Top Chef spinoff that will pit culinary professionals against one another in a series of weekly challenges.

Unlike Top Chef, which focuses on amateurs in the kitchen, the news series cast "some of the brightest stars in the world of food, award-winning, widely-renowned chefs," according to Bravo's press release.

Meanwhile, with Project Runway moving to Lifetime after this season, Bravo needs a replacement.

It has announced an American adaptation of Fashion House, a former European reality show that features teams of designers living together, creating entire lines of designs.

Fashion House aired for seven weeks in Fall 2003 and featured 20 young European designers that were organized into four five-person teams representing Great Britain, Italy, Sweden, and France competing against each other at a "fashion house" set within Rome's Costume and Fashion Academy.

American Idol will air its eighth season in January.

But auditions kicked off last week, with over 7,000 hopefuls reportedlty showing up in San Francisco to pursue their dreams of being the next David Cook or Carrie Underwood.

Are you one of these aspiring singers? If so, here's a look at future stops on the American Idol auditions tour:

• July 25: Jobing.com Arena in Phoenix, Arizona
• July 29: EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah
• August 2: Coliseo de Puerto Rico in San Juan, Puerto Rico
• August 8: Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missour
• August 13: Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florid
• August 19: IZOD Center at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

This is good to see.

Just a few weeks after the season finale of The Bachelorette, DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak are already transitioning into a happy life together.

They are scheduled to wed May 9. But for now, they're just having fun and going public. Here they're seen taking a ride on a roller coaster. Enjoy:

Jesse Csincask and DeAnna Pappas are all smiles.

DeAnna and Jesse went to Cedar Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio, over the weekend. The couple was in town visiting Jesse Csincsak's family.

Meanwhile, rumors continue to fly that when The Bachelor returns to ABC (whenever that may be), it will star Jeremy Anderson or Jason Mesnick.

Thoughts?

Julianne Hough might be a popular celebrity. But she had no idea why so many people left messages of congratulations on her phone last week.

"I was like, 'Congratulations for what?' " Hough told People Magazine from Morristown, Ohio, where she was due to perform with Brad Paisley, Jewel and Chuck Wick.

Therefore, when Hough's publicist, informed the 20-year-old dancer/singer that she was nominated for outstanding choreography for Dancing with the Stars, Julianne was shocked.

"I'm nominated with some of the best choreographers out there," Hough said. "I mean, Kenny Ortega did Newsies and High School Musical, and then there's all the So You Think You Can Dance choreographers... I feel completely blessed to be in their company. It's incredible."

It's also well-deserved. Congratulations!

Julianne Hough is beautiful, talented.
