HOLLYWOOD - The Hills star Lauren Conrad considered quitting the reality TV show after a series of feuds with costars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.

The 21-year-old was almost driven to walking from the show by Montag and Spencer's reckless pursuit of fame--but was persuaded to stay by MTV bosses.

She says, "Some people are willing to betray years of friendship just to get a little bit of the spotlight.

"They just want to become famous so badly, and that's never really made sense to me. I mean, it's fun to go out and do stuff in Hollywood, but if it was gone tomorrow, I really wouldn't be disappointed."

An MTV spokesman says, "Heidi and Spencer were always a part of the show, and they can't all of a sudden make main characters disappear."
