After Laguna Beach
, Lauren Conrad
(Bosworth's best friend since elementary school) went on to star in its spin-off, The Hills
. However, the pair were not on speaking terms for the early stages of production. As a result, Bosworth was not added as a secondary cast member until the second season, after she and Lauren had reconciled. This rift in Conrad and Bosworth's friendship was only briefly mentioned on The Hills. The only details given were that the two did not speak for nearly two years due to a fight caused by Jen Bunney, a mutual friend who has made several appearances on the program.
During the third season, Bosworth, Conrad, and Audrina Patridge
shared a house. Patridge eventually moved out and into her own apartment. Conrad and Bosworth, however, remained roommates and best friends, even after Conrad's departure from the show. In early 2008, they adopted a dog, Chloe, who was also shown on The Hills
.
In the fourth and fifth seasons, Bosworth began to reveal more about her personal life and allowing cameras into her place of work. In August 2008, PerezHilton.com leaked the salaries of The Hills cast members; according to that, Bosworth received $10,000 US for each episode she appeared in at that time. Although these salaries were assumed to be correct, Bosworth has never confirmed how much she made as a cast member.
Despite Conrad's departure in Season 5 Part 1, Bosworth was billed as a "returning cast member" for Season 5 Part 2. Despite rumors of not returning, Bosworth remained a member of the cast until the end of the series. She was elevated to one of the five lead roles in the sixth and final season, where she introduced her personal life by including her longtime boyfriend, Scott, and dealt with drama at the work place as well. The Hills series finale aired on July 13, 2010.
