I'm sure the whole world just died a little inside when Lauren Conrad left The Hills, but sure didn't you keep watching to see what on earth yer wan Kristin Cavallari (Laguna Beach is so 2004) would get up to with with Brody 'I have no problem keeping with with the Kardashians' Jenner? Or y'know, just watch the car-crash that was/is Speidi...

Anyway, those of you who actually cared about/were mildly entertained by the errr, lovely cast will be only delighted to hear that MTV isn't quite done with the series just yet. Oh no. Not content with bringing the show to a close with Kristin driving away from on-off boyfriend Brody (only for the cameras to revealed that the scene was actually shot in a studio - what do you mean it wasn't real?), they're now planning to air an alternative ending.

We're not quite sure what they could do with it at this stage, given that pretty much everyone involved has moved on with their lives. Well, perhaps moved on is a bit strong: Sure Heidi and Spencer are still milking the reality cash cow for all it's worth and Cavallari's living off the oul "We were bribed so we'd be b*tches" stories about the show's producers.

Entertainment Weekly says the alternative ending will air on August 9th, as part of MTV's RetroMTVBrunch. No, this will not be a segment harking back to the Music Television of old, but rather a marathon of their noughties reality shows, with the likes of Laguna Beach and The Hills taking prime position.

We're sure it won't be long until they make it to our side of the Atlantic, but sure until then, the alternative Hills ending could be the highlight of your J1 eh? Nah... didn't think so either.
