MTV just added a few more months to the life span of Speidi.

In a move that should surprise no one, the network announced Tuesday it has renewed The Hills for a fourth drama-filled season.

Lauren Conrad and her lackeys will be back for 19 more episodes, most of which will chronicle what the trendsetting and feud-sparking young ladies did over their forthcoming summer vacation.

The new season of the pop culture-permeating "reality" show will kick off in August at a date soon to be announced.

Just one more new episode of this season remains, with MTV sparing no expense to promote the appointment television.
