Don’t count Lauren Conrad out of “The Hills” completely, even though the blond mini-mogul has said before that she wouldn’t surface.

She won’t appear in the final episode, true, but Conrad will participate in a live post-finale show to air July 13 on MTV, “Hills” creator Adam DiVello confirms.

“We have a live finale after show ... Lauren Conrad will be at that finale event, along with Whitney Port and the entire cast,” DiVello told Ryan Seacrest on his morning radio show.

Conrad was featured on MTV’s “Laguna Beach” before landing her own spinoff; “The Hills,” became a not-really-reality phenomenon in 2006, with touchstone characters Kristin Cavallari and Audrina Patridge and the side show of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.

Conrad’s final appearance as a main character aired in 2009. She has since launched a successful clothing line with retailer Kohl’s and penned several books.
