MTV cancels 'The Hills'

MTV is putting an end to "The Hills" after six seasons.

The pop culture stable that launched about Lauren Conrad and her circle of friends finding work and romance in Hollywood evolved into an increasingly convoluted attempt to fabricate a reality that was entirely unlike the B-list celebrity lives of its participants as documented in the tabloid press.

Also, the show took a hit in the ratings last season after Conrad left the show, dropping from 3 million viewers to 2.6 million after a summer hiatus.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt will be front and center in the final 12 episodes, which air starting April 27, with Conrad likely to make an appearance.
