Yeah, I'm still watching The Hills. Despite telling everyone it's for work, I know I am completely addicted. It gets worse — and less realistic — by the episode, which sends me into a blind rage in which I am forced to remind myself that my time would be better spent watching milk curdle, but I always come back for more.
So on last night's episode, Heidi's sister Holly (whom Spencer kicked out of the couple's apartment) decided to crash at Lauren and Lo's house after Audrina moved out. Shocking, right? Except a few of our genius readers totally predicted it. But I couldn't even let my mind shut off during the episode because I was so damn confused by the timeline. CONTINUED »

Good news, everyone! The Hills is coming back for a fifth season! Audrina Patridge confirmed the information to People, and if you're not sold on even more episodes of the "reality" show, just listen to her riveting argument:
At one point, all of us were like, 'No, we don't want to do another season.' I wanted to do more movies, and Whitney moved to New York and she's doing her own spin-off. … We have fun with each other and we've stuck it out this long. We might as well do another one.
Look, nobody loves The Hills more than I do, but even I can admit that it's time to throw in the towel. Nobody cares anymore and the girls are clearly starting to hate each other. This is only going to end badly.

Despite the fact that Hills alum Whitney Port scored her own reality TV spin-off, The City, the NYC paparazzi are still unsure as to who exactly this girl is. Behold the WireImage description of Whit at Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood party, who is identified as "Guest," while her lesser known co-star, Olivia Palermo, was easily named. This can not bode well for the budding fashionista, especially during a time when both Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt can be picked out of a crowd by most Americans.
Other stars deemed "hot" by the tabloid included the High School Musical kiddos, a few Gossip Girls (and boys), America's Next Top Tranny Model Jaslene, some Ugly Bettys and Patti LaBelle. Sounds a little lukewarm to us.

Whitney Port, one of the few Hills characters who doesn't make us want to commit violent acts of rage but has a penchant for saying "OMG" entirely too much, has left the incestuous pool of LA for the incestuous pool of NYC to pursue a career in fashion and suffer from boy drama. Yeah, same premise as The Hills, just way less interesting. We can't decide if this is Whitney's fault or if Lauren Conrad's show just wore us out the first time around. Either way, we're over it. But we'll totally be watching.
On a side note, we kind of love Whit's new friend (roommate?) who delivers the line about an invisible tattoo on her forehead that says "Make out with me," and only guys who live on futons can read it. Love her.


Those useless Hills girls have cranked out yet another overpriced clothing line. This time the two masterpieces were designed by the lovely Whitney Port, and while the dresses are leaps and bounds more impressive than anything designed by that twit Heidi Montag, we don't understand who in her right mind would pay five hundred dollars for that black dress. We don't care how many sequins Whit managed to cram onto that thing.

The ridiculous and accidental blockbuster popularity of MTV's Laguna Beach brought us The Hills, that reality show showcasing the lives of girls now too famous and wealthy to actually be the fictional versions they play on TV. And now that The Hills has performed the insurmountable task of keeping MTV semi-relevant, everybody else wants in. That's why Bravo is hunting for their own set of privileged West Coast youth and a production company is shooting a D.C. version as we speak. Even MTV, then, wants more of the magic. Enter The City, MTV's New York-based off-shoot of the show. Whereas The Hills took a group of pretty ladies from no-name status to insta-brands, The City will start off with a set of semi-known girls. Among them:

• Another adorable animal bites the dust. Life isn't fair. [DListed]
• Demi Lovato, one of the newest little Disney stars, fell on stage during a performance. The good news is people are going to know her name for a couple days. [Yeeeah]
• The Hills' Whitney Port and her new boyfriend need to work on coordinating their outfits a little more successfully. [INO]
• All these photos of Britney Spears shopping in LA remind us of the Sam Lutfi days, and those aren't good memories. [PS]
• Aubrey O'Day is offended that people compare her to Paris Hilton. Paris agrees. [ICYDK]
• Hayden Panettiere shouldn't look this weird in a bikini. [HT]

Well, let's discuss the good news first: As of this very moment, there are no plans for a Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt reality show.
The bad news: There will be a Hills spin-off — focusing on Lauren Conrad's friend and co-worker Whitney Port, who has publicly said she would never move in with Lauren because she can't handle the cameras being around at all times.
MTV is prepping a show in which Whitney Port, 23, becomes bicoastal while working for fashion PR firm People’s Revolution — and befriends a group of NYC gals (including socialite Olivia Palermo).
Says the insider: 'There will be more blondes in the city than you ever expected!'
The only person less deserving of a Hills spin-off is dead-eyed Audrina Patridge. Seriously, we love Whitney and all, but there's no way she can carry an entire reality show on her own. Why not give Lo her own series? Now that we would watch. (OK, fine. We're going to watch Whit's show, too.)

The MTV Movie Awards were held last night, and I admittedly couldn't bring myself to sit through the hours-long crapfest. Just by looking at the pictures (after the jump), it's obvious I didn't miss much.
Anyone care to share exciting stories from the show (if you decided to punish yourself last night)? CONTINUED »

Hills resident Audrina Patridge celebrated her 23rd birthday this weekend in Las Vegas, and noticeably absent were Lauren Conrad and the show's camera crew. Could Audrina and LC be on the outs just in time for the fourth season? We sure hope so, because a Hills without Speidi and Audrina — and more Lo, Whitney and Kelly Cutrone — is a happy Hills.
Also of note: Audrina, honey, it's probably not best to wear bright pink underwear with a see-through black dress (see fourth photo). Just trying to help.

Here's what I learned from last night's finale of The Hills: Nothing ever really happens on this show. Yes, it took me three seasons to figure that out. It finally clicked as I realized that the ending cliffhanger was part of last week's sneak peek. So, basically, the whole show was leading up to the moment we were waiting for (Lauren and Audrina's confrontation), but by the time this came to fruition, the credits were rolling. How cheap.
In other news, Heidi and Spencer were nowhere to be found during the finale party — thank goodness — and the rest of the Hills ladies wore outfits similar to what we see all the time. Yawn.

People magazine asked the four Hills girls to take pictures of themselves first thing in the morning for some beautiful people issue. We don't know. Anyway, the three semi-normal ones (Lauren, Audrina and Whitney) actually attempted to follow instructions; naturally pretty Heidi Montag, on the other hand, expects us to believe that she wakes up in full makeup and a "Look at me! I'm trying so hard to be sexy!" pose.

We learned many things from last night's premiere of The Hills, number one being Lauren Conrad is still a terrible Teen Vogue intern. Between answering personal calls on the job and ruining a designer gown, LC destroyed her chances of being hired by anyone with a brain. We also learned — courtesy of MTV — that French guys are kind of creepy and dirty-looking, twirling their mustaches and using phrases like, "You are leaving without kissing me bye-bye?" Oh, and Speidi? Still terrible and fake.
But most importantly, we learned that any scenes involving Lauren most likely aren't scripted, as she is the worst actress of all time. The live segments were seriously uncomfortable to watch, what with LC being forced to fake laugh and act like she enjoyed Mariah Carey's out-of-place performance.

Lauren Conrad's collection debuted at LA Fashion Week last night, and LC had the support of all the usual suspects — and some surprises.
The crowd featured Lauren's family and friends, including Lo Bosworth, Audrina Patridge, Whitney Port, Stephen Colletti, Dieter Schmitz, Brody Jenner, Frankie Delgado — and Kristin Cavallari.
Kristin, who arrived wearing a Lauren Conrad original, said she and her former nemesis have been on good terms for a long time: "It's the magazines that like to make us look like [enemies]. I thought this would be a good way to support her and clear the air."
More pictures than you could ever ask for, after the jump. CONTINUED »
We'll go ahead and admit it: We are obsessed with The Hills. And MTV's latest promo for Season 3's bonus episodes is pretty awesome, if you forget for a couple minutes that the entire thing is fake.
