People magazine reports that Lauren Conrad has signed a three-book deal with HarperCollins. Whoops, HarperCollins, that’s your author.

The books – the first of which is scheduled to hit shelves in the summer of 2009 – will be loosely inspired by Conrad’s own experience going from an ordinary teen to a reality TV star.

“It’s definitely influenced by my own life,” Conrad tells PEOPLE. “The books are about a girl who moves to L.A. and stars in a reality show, so obviously there are some similarities.”

Oh perfect. I’ve always wondered what The Hills would be like if it was written by an emotionally vacuous selfishness factory with a fourth grader’s intellect and black hole strength narcissism rather than just starring one. Zing! I’d like a Venti zingaccino with an extra shot of zing and a poppyzing bagel.

Thanks for the tip, Anna.
