Fans of The Hills should be happy about this news — the MTV “reality” series (how real is it, really?) will return for a fourth season beginning in August. 19 episodes of The Hills will air for the upcoming season.

An insider told Usmagazine.com: “They just started shooting. The fourth season will be about what they ended up doing this summer. Lauren and Whitney will still be working at People’s Revolution.”

The Hills’ third season is coming to a close, with the finale airing May 12 — naturally, you can expect both a pre- and post-show party… completed with Usher and rapper Young Jeezy.
