Do you think you know everything about "The Hills"? Have you been following the lives of Lauren Conrad and her gang since her days on "Laguna Beach?" Well, on MTV's "The Hills: Revealed," fans get the behind-the-scenes stories behind some of the show's greatest moments. And, if you think you know, the show proved that you really have no idea.

Long before Lauren Conrad lived in "The Hills," she was high school girl caught up in a love triangle with Laguna Beach High's Stephen Colletti and future "Hills" star Kristin Cavallari. But, it seemed that securing the elusive Colletti wasn't as easy as "Laguna Beach" producers hoped that it would be.

Colletti didn't want to be on the show, and despite LC admitting that she liked him on her audition tape, it took some convincing to get Colletti to agree. Eventually he did, but there was a third puzzle piece missing: "We literally could not find Kristin," MTV executive Liz Gately said. "We didn't have any tape on her, didn't have any pictures — our entire production was waiting on this girl."

Once "Laguna" producers found Cavallari, they had a show and everyone couldn't get enough of LC. So, eventually "LB" came to an end and she moved to "The Hills," where fans got the chance to meet Lady Gaga long before she was the superstar that she is now. At a 2008 fashion show, LC and her pal Whitney Port had to help style Gaga for a performance at the show. Gaga's catsuit zipper broke, LC managed to save the day and from there a star was born.

Speaking of stars being born, while Justin Bobby (whose last name happens to be Brescia) didn't show up on the show until season 3, he had been in Audrina Patridge's life for quite a while longer. They had met when Audrina was working at Quixote Studios and he was there, working on a shoot as a hair stylist. They dated on and off for some time, and while it was difficult for Audrina to get him to commit, it was more difficult for "Hills" producers to get him to agree to be on the show.

So by the time he and Audrina decided to give their relationship another try, he had to agree to be on the show. "Third season comes around and he's back in my life," Audrina recalled. "So I'm like, 'Well if you want to hang out with me you have to be on camera.'" He finally agreed, Lo Bosworth christened him Justin Bobby and the rest is reality-TV relationship history.

Fans couldn't get enough of Speidi, so when Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt decided to get married in April 2009, producers had to make sure that everything, including cameos by LC and Kristin, went just right. As if keeping the two girls away from each other wasn't difficult enough, power issues in the church meant that they would have to work hours longer.

Once they got the power restored, LC was able to reunite with Heidi one last time, Kristin was able to surprise everyone by strutting into the church, Speidi could finally get married — not to mention that LC could drive off into the sunset.

Angelina Jolie doesn't make the press rounds often, so when the rare opportunity to speak to her does arise, you make the most of it. We grilled her for details about some of her upcoming projects.

One of the rumored parts that seems exceptionally well-suited for the sultry star is the title role in "Maleficent", a take on the "Sleeping Beauty" story told from the point of view of the slumbering princess' nemesis. Asked whether she might be involved in the film — whose director's chair may eventually be filled by "Alice in Wonderland" auteur Tim Burton — Jolie said she would definitely be interested.

"I would love to," Jolie told MTV News. "It's all new and being discussed, but I loved her when I was a little girl. She was my favorite. Tim Burton, the chance to work with him would be extraordinary."

While we were on the topic of casting, Jolie opened up about Cleopatra, whom she's been confirmed to play in a historical biopic. Jolie said a portrayal of the iconic Egyptian queen is long overdue, and she's onboard as long as the circumstances are right.

"I think if we can get the story right, and do the real story," she said of a possible script. "I think there's a lot about her that's never been covered yet. So if we can do something original, we will."

Jolie's name has also been attached to two other films: "Serena," an adaptation of the Ron Rash novel to be directed by "The Wrestler" helmer Darren Aronofsky, and a cinematic portrayal of Kay Scarpetta, the protagonist in Patricia Cornwell's best-selling book series. The actress didn't seem to have much information about either feature, but prospects for "Serena" seemed to be a little more concrete.

"We've talked about it, and I would love to work with Darren one day," Jolie said, adding that the project itself was perhaps less important than her potential collaborator. "So if it's not that, it will be something else. But I think he's one of my favorites."

Scarpetta, on the other hand, seems further down the road. "I think they're writing a script," Jolie said. "It's in development," she laughed, acknowledging she was short on news.

"It's all very in development."
