The Hills Are Dead?

Well, they may not be dead, but they're certainly on life support, according to Page Six!

Although Lauren's previously stated that she's "ready to kind of walk away" from her hit show, MTV execs are apparently negotiating a slimmed-down season five.

Cut from the show will be Lo (good riddance), Brody, Stephanie Pratt, and, of course, Whitney Port, who will have her own show based in New York.

Honestly, I don't mind if they trim the fat a bit, but I'd be bummed if they cut it out completely!
