We already knew that most celebrity gossip followers despised Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.
Turns out, though, these two aren’t the only members of The Hills to be hated on.
As the MTV series films its next season in a residential Hollywood neighborhood - where Lauren Conrad has bought a house, if you count the network obviously purchasing it for her as “buying” - local residents are reportedly peeved by the parade of paparazzi.
Sources told Access Hollywood that MTV has turned the residence into a commercial sound stage for the purpose of filming the show.
As a result, residents feel the production presents and never-ending stream of paparazzi create a threat to public safety and interfere with their rights as homeowners.
An MTV spokesperson responded to the accusations by saying:
“MTV is in accordance with all required production permits, and is working with the city of Los Angeles to assist it with neighborhood concerns that have been raised.”
According to public records on the Multiple Listing Service, Lauren Conrad Living Trust purchased the house for $2,360,000 million on February 1, 2008.
And this should really be the biggest story of all: there’s a Lauren Conrad Living Trust?!?
