MTV will bring viewers a star-studded night to remember with “The Hills” finale and the “2009 MTV Movie Awards.”

To get fans ready, MTV News will be broadcasting from behind-the-scenes all weekend long with backstage gossip and celebrity interviews.

Alongside MTV News correspondents Tim Kash and Sway, “The Hills” regulars Lo Bosworth, Stephanie Pratt and Frankie Delgado will be guest correspondents.

According to an MTV release, “In Lauren’s final episode, she must decide whether she’s willing to forgive Spencer in order to be there for Heidi on the day of her “princess” wedding. When the entire cast shows up, the drama in the pews is greater than the drama at the altar, until everyone is surprised by a guest no one saw coming.”
