According to this sale announcement from Publishers Marketplace, reality television and book publishing officially have collided:

CHILDREN’S: YOUNG ADULT
Star of MTV’s reality show The Hills, Lauren Conrad’s three-book YA series LA CANDY, loosely inspired by her own transformation from ordinary teen to reality TV darling and fashion designer, about a girl who moves to LA and unexpectedly stars in a reality show, finding wealth, famous friends, fabulous clothes, and romance — as well as the darker realization that everyone wants something from her, and nothing is what it appears to be, to Adam Korn and Lisa Sharkey for Harper Children’s, for publication beginning in summer 2009, by Matthew Elblonk at The Creative Culture with Max Stubblefield at UTA (world).

Enough said on that…
