This has been rumored for weeks, but MTV has finally announced that The Hills star Whitney Port will headline its new spin-off, The City.

The show, set to debut in Spring 2009, will track her journey from Los Angeles to New York as she works for designer Diane Von Furstenberg.

Whitney Port will also be reuniting with "a best friend from her past" and meet and begin seeing a new "guy she's head-over-heels for."

Sounds like ... The Hills, east coast edition!

Whitney Port is preparing to bid Lauren Conrad adieu!

Of The City, MTV said in a statement:

"Surrounded by new friends, pursuing a fresh love life and starting to work in the upper echelon of the fashion industry is a lot to navigate ... Whitney will have to decide who she can trust and who to stay away from."

In her own statement, Whitney Port said:

"I am thrilled and honored to be in New York City, not only working for one of the most renowned fashion designers, Diane Von Furstenberg, but to be able to mature as a young woman both professionally and personally."
