Lauren Conrad has snagged a film deal for her debut book, L.A. Candy!!! Temple Hill Entertainment has acquired the screen rights to the novel by the former Hills star, 23, Variety reports. Like Conrad's life, L.A. Candy -- which has been on the New York Times bestseller list for 14 weeks since its June release -- follows a 19-year-old girl named Jane Roberts who moves to Hollywood and finds fame as a reality star. "Lauren, who became an icon in that reality show world, came to us with a structure of how to tell the story in an interesting fashion that was separate and apart from the book," Temple Hill producer Marty Bowen said. "We loved her take. Her book is an honest portrayal of what it must be like to set out to be normal, then sign on to become famous and eventually realize, wow, this isn't at all what I'd planned for myself."
Conrad -- who plans to pen two more books in the series -- will serve as the movie's executive producer.
