Don't cry for Audrina Patridge, who left "Dancing With the Stars" last night.

The comely reality TV star is set to star in her own VH1 show, and early reports reveal the interest is high for the former "Hills" sidekick to Lauren Conrad, who now is an established fashion designer and author.

Patridge shared with Monsters and Critics on October 26 at CBS Studios where "Dancing" is filmed about her excitement for the future show that will incorporate her friends and family as they maneuver the high energy world of Hollywood.

Patridge was enthused to be working with Mark Burnett, a reality kingpin producer who has his creative stamp on some of the most popular shows on television. Burnett also produces "Sarah Palin's Alaska" for TLC, her daughter Bristol Palin also on "Dancing with the Stars."

Yesterday, she also tipped that her DWTS partner Tony Dovolani, a new BFF, may appear on her show too.

One of Patridge's old "Hills" cast members, Whitney Port, had to fold production on "The City" which failed to find an audience, canceled by MTV after two seasons.
