The show was created by Adam DiVello, who executive produces with Tony DiSanto, Liz Gateley and Sean Travis.
This season fans of the show will find out if Hollywood is big enough for one group of close friends who have been torn in two.

Things get more complicated with the girls, as Lauren and Heidi have not spoken since Heidi moved in with her boyfriend Spencer. New drama ratchets up the tensions in season three.
Whitney has graduated college and is dealing with the stress of her first real job and the drama of being newly single.
Audrina is trying to balance love life and friendship, and Heidi's trying to play house with Spencer and deal with the separation from her once best friend Lauren.
Lauren had enough of being single and is looking for Mr. Right, a search made difficult with new responsibilities at Teen Vogue, and balancing a new roommate and a boyfriend from her past back in her life.
Now the top of the news, "The Hills" drama is being played out in tabloid style. Spencer Pratt has sent an angry message to Lauren Conrad and her supporters via his website, and his fiancée Heidi Montag added her two cents in an interview with Philadelphia radio station Q102, according to Us Weekly, and later on Ryan Seacrest's Los Angeles radio show.
When asked how much she disliked Conrad, Montag, 20, answered, "A lot. I think it's really pathetic that she's so obsessed with my life and my relationship. I really think she needs to concentrate on something else, it's sad."
She later added, "I never could be friends with a low-life like that."
Pratt, 23, whose quarrels with Conrad is discussed openly joined in on the LC-bashing session, offering a derisive remarks when the radio hosts made mention of her fashion line - calling the designs "stupid."
Despite the all the tsuris , the network greenlighted the third season of the unscripted show, starring Lauren Conrad, after the second-season finale of "Hills," performed as the top-rated MTV show.

MTV released a press statement that noted the second season of the show was consistently the most-watched program in its time period among 12-24 across all of television.
"The success of 'The Hills' ' second season illustrates our strategy to engage viewers across all screens and to give fans the ability to stay connected to the cast and their stories when they want and where they want," MTV president of entertainment and programming Lois Curren said. "The approach we've taken with 'The Hills' reaffirms that our audience is embracing the touchpoints we've created for them to stay immersed in the shows they love."
