Laguna Beach mean girl, Kristen Cavallari talks about her role on The Hills with TV.com.

Here’s what she had to say:

TV.com:  So, why did you decide to come back to reality TV?  Just for fun?  For the money?

KC:  Well, you know.  MTV had been asking me to join The Hills for the past four years, but I didn’t want to because it was Lauren’s show and I knew they would have made me and Lauren hate each other like they did on Laguna.  But with Lauren leaving, I thought it was a way to change the show up and make it more about my personality.

TV:  Based on your time on Laguna Beach, people sort of planted you as The Bitch.  You definitely got that same treatment when you arrived on The Hills.  Looking back on your Laguna years, do you think you earned that reputation?

KC:  It’s funny because on Laguna Beach someone was trying to steal my boyfriend, but I got labeled the bitch.  Kind of interesting how that came about… But, yeah, I’m very opinionated and I speak my mind.  I have a very strong personality.  And it’s very easy to label someone like that a bitch.  At the same time, I decided to do The Hills and I knew that’s how they were going to play it up, so I decided to embrace it and run with it and just have fun with it.

TV:  When your going to film a scene, how much do you know ahead of time?  Are the producers telling you what to talk about?  Is it less organic than that?  More organic?

KC:  ’Yes’ is my answer to all of those questions.

TV:  So are you having fun on the show?  Do you think you’ll stick around for awhile?

KC: Yeah, I mean we only film three days a week, which is great.  I can have my life, I can do other stuff.  Really.  I am enjoying it.  It definitely took some getting used to, but I’m having fun now.  We’re all going to Vegas tomorrow.  It’s exciting.
