Conrad's 'LA Candy' heading to big screen

The Hills star Lauren Conrad's bestseller LA Candy will become a movie, reports Variety.

Candy is inspired by Conrad's experiences on the popular MTV series. It involves 19-year-old Jane Roberts arriving in Hollywood and finding fame as a reality TV star. Conrad is plotting two more books in the Roberts series.

Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey (Twilight) are on board to produce the feature through their Temple Hill company, while Conrad will serve as an executive producer.

Bowen said: "Lauren, who became an icon in that reality show world, came to us with a structure of how to tell the story in an interesting fashion that was separate and apart from the book.

"We loved her take. Her book is an honest portrayal of what it must be like to set out to be normal, then sign on to become famous and eventually realise, wow, this isn't at all what I'd planned for myself."
