Lauren Conrad Scores Another Big Book Deal

Happily settling into her role as an author, Lauren Conrad has landed another three-book deal with HarperCollins.

The former "Hills" hottie is set to write "The Fame Game," which will surround the reality TV world and feature Madison Parker, a merciless character from Conrad's "L.A. Candy" series. Of the book's protagonist, the 25-year-old tells Us, "We took the mean girl."

She also dishes, "This series is about a girl who loves everything that fame is, and that's all she's ever really wanted. [Madison] has fun with the press, she enjoys the attention, she welcomes scandal!"

When asked if boyfriend Kyle Howard is into reading her books, Lauren replied with a laugh, "He read my first book, which was very sweet. I told him he didn't have to read the rest. "I don't think he's the target market!"

Last month the busy starlet joined ET to preview some of the goods from her Kohl's Spring 2011 Collection.

As she continues to expand her partnership with the retail outlet, Conrad has added a line of sunglasses, jewelry offerings and her solely-funded Paper Crown contemporary collection.

Of the Paper Crown efforts, LC told press, "I know how important branding is, so it feels very cohesive, and very much like me."

Included in the offerings are a tiered maxi dress and cropped leather jacket, of which Miss Conrad said, "It's a very romantic dress, but the jacket toughens it up a bit."

A little bit pricier than her other items, Lauren assures potential buyers that the costs won't be overwhelming, as she tells, "Nothing is overly trendy. We want these pieces to be in people's closets for a long, long time."

And though her new reality show hasn't found a home just yet, the previously planned series' intro has been released.

Back in February, MTV dropped the program as it was allegedly "too high brow" for the channel's audience.

While she's still shopping it around, Conrad's new offering focused solely on her work as a fashion designer - not her personal life.

The intro shows LC in a clay-like animation transitioning from a horde of paparazzi to rolls of strings and a large cloth morphing into a dress wrapped around her body.

Meanwhile the paperback edition of her third L.A. Candy book, Sugar and Spice, goes on sale Tuesday.
