Lauren Conrad Officially Returns to Reality TV Filed under ( KIIS FM, Lauren Conrad, On Air With Ryan Seacrest )

Lauren Conrad hasn't forgotten her roots.

The former Hills star has become a best-selling author, clothing designer and much buzzed-about fashionista, but she now is returning to the career that made her famous – reality TV star.

Conrad, 24, spoke about starring in a new MTV reality show about her life as a clothing designer on KIIS FM's On Air With Ryan Seacrest Friday (see clip below). When Seacrest asked if the rumors of her return were true, Conrad coyly said, "It'd be safe to say [yes] . . . It would follow my career, set in L.A."

MTV later confirmed the news to PEOPLE.

Stating she has "no regrets" from her time on The Hills, Conrad's catfights with cast members and drama filled departure has taught her not to mix business with pleasure. "I've always been open to doing reality again. It's just under certain circumstances," she said. "As long as you have a separation then it works. You have your personal life and work life and when it's combined it's difficult." When asked if long time boyfriend, Kyle Howard, 32, would be part of the series Conrad replied, "Kyle would not be in it."

Conrad, who is busy promoting her new book, Sugar and Spice: An L.A. Candy Novel, and clothing line at Kohl's, will jump back into filming in October. Of the series, Conrad promises, "Details will be announced next week and it will be something very, very different."

In an exclusive interview with Us, Conrad (who wouldn't confirm the new series) says her third go-round would be miles away from the drama and back-stabbing of Laguna Beach and The Hills.

"The only way I'd return to reality TV would be if it allowed me to decide when the cameras stop," she tells Us.

On leaving The Hills: “The show started out very aspirational,” she said. “But by the time I left, it was becoming something else, and I knew it was the right time to walk away.”

On what's next: "I have to be passionate about the next thing I do," she said. "I don't think I could ever do a show like The Hills again. I would go crazy."

On her fans: “I haven’t been on TV for awhile,” Conrad said. “But my fans have continued to be amazing. They support my clothes and come to book signings.”

On her boyfriend: "I never critique Kyle's clothes unless he asks my opinion. I have to be with someone I really trust who doesn't want to hurt my feelings and who really wants me to be happy," she added.

On marriage: "The only camera at my wedding will be my parents' camcorder," she said. "It'll be a home video. Just for us."
