Jason WAHLER says there is NO SEX TAPE! Ok, end of story!!
Jason Wahler is speaking out against Spencer Pratt's recent claims on national TV that a Lauren Conrad sex tape exists."I do not have a sex tape of Lauren Conrad and one does not exist," Wahler tells Usmagazine.com in a statement. "Spencer Pratt is lying again to get attention.
"Lauren is my friend," Wahler continues, "and it is insulting to her to suggest this."
On Tuesday's Tyra Banks Show, Pratt declared, "I know for 100 percent fact it did exist – 1000%!"
His girlfriend, Heidi Montag, also claimed the video was "not a rumor. From what I have heard from confirmed sources... her ex-boyfriend was going around trying to sell it."
Banks then asked Montag, if she hadn't seen the tape, how could she be so sure it existed.
"Well, I mean, I am not sure she has it anymore... but from what I've heard..."
Montag added, "I am not really allowed to elaborate."
Conrad and Montag's friendship fizzled after she accused her of spreading rumors about the raunchy tape. Check out their design war here.
The two recently put away their cat claws to pose on the cover of Rolling Stone, but the drama between them is hardly over.
Interesting this is all coming back up when the Hills is on and Jason has a new show coming out!!
Lauren CONRAD and her NEW LOV-AAAA meet for LUNCH!
Lauren and the virgin white dress is a little much!! And that third pic, what is up with the bitchy look? The guy in the fourth pic is like, that's Lauren Conrad! Like he just saw Bono from U2 or something!
I don't think this Info will SHOCK any of you, Casey's bro and LC's boyfriend will be on the HILLS!
Lauren Conrad's got a new boyfriend that we may be meeting on an upcoming episode of The Hills.
According to E! Online, LC has taken up with Doug Reinhardt, a 22-year-old Californian, who plays baseball for the Baltimore Orioles' minor league team. And he's cute.
Lauren and Doug have been seeing snuggling at Goa and attending Stephanie Pratt's birthday party together at Boulevard3 -- a party that was filmed for The Hills. Drama!
Apparently, Doug is no stranger to reality TV (shocking), as his sister, Casey, was on season 2 of Laguna Beach with Lauren and Co., but I have no recollection of her and Doug never appeared on camera.
I would like to get to know him better.

The HILLS chicks weigh in on MILEY Cyrus!
Not everyone is bashing Miley Cyrus for stripping down for Vanity Fair."I think she’s a young girl in Hollywood, and she’s just having fun," Heidi Montag told Extra. "[She]'s exploring herself.”
Added beau Spencer Pratt, “I didn’t think it was that bad. Supposedly, she’s wearing a top underneath. It’s artistic.”
Seems he and Lauren Conrad may finally have something to agree on.
When asked about the racy pics, Conrad said, “I found it a bit silly. I thought she looked beautiful in the pictures. I didn’t find it that inappropriate.
Being young and in the spotlight "is difficult," Conrad said. "It's a lot of pressure on her since she is a role model, but I think she’s doing a good job.”
MEOW! Heidi and LAUREN and LO still going at IT!
Montag couldn't resist taking a swipe at her ex-BFF.
"I really pray for her," Montag told Usmagazine.com.
Conrad's bud, Lauren "Lo" Bosworth (who was also there), defended her pal.
"I wasn't aware that Heidi was an especially religious gal," she snapped. "But if she wants to pray, she can pray all she wants."
When told that Montag is praying for her, Conrad rolled her eyes.
"That’s really nice of her," she said before walking off.

Totally OFF SUBJECT - TOS - WHO does this?
Ok, this is FAR more disturbing than any of those Miley Cyrus photos floating around!! Hulk is rubbing lotion on his daughter Brooke's ass! What dad is up feeling his daughters ass and putting lotion on once she is over the age of about 8? HULK is a SICKO! I really do hate the HOGANS!LAUREN Conrad supporting JOHN McCain?
This could have far-reaching electoral implications: Looks like the girls of "The Hills" are firmly on the side of the GOP.New York magazine reports that at the White House Correspondents' dinner over the weekend, Lauren Conrad let her political allegiances slip during Craig Ferguson's speech. When Craig asked, very rhetorically, "Should I vote for the Republicans?" LC went nuts, clapping "wildly." But when Ferguson went the other way, so did LC, wrinkling her nose. Apparently, she also didn't appreciate a jab at George Bush. They are O.C. girls, after all.
Lauren CONRAD's new boyfriend is her AGENT?
Perez HILTON says On RYAN SEACRST:
Lauren Conrad's new boyfriend is her AGENT!!
Perez is trying to confirm this.

If I were LC I would not want to be that close to Audrina, the crabs were probably in full effect!
LG RED CARPET - FEATURING Lauren CONRAD, Kristin CAVALLARI, LO Bosworth and SHE-PRATT!!
How desperate is Heidi, that is just TRASH-tastic! Not lovin Lauren's dress either. Kristin not looking great either. Lo, uggghhhh. Wow, 0-4 last night.
Your NOT going to BELIEVE this!!
Ellen K on Seacrest just reported Heidiwood at KITSON has ALREADY sold out! Kitson called it one of their best launches EVER!
YO SPENCER!!
YO SPENCER! Me and my lady have been together for two years and I just found out that she cheated on me. I'm hella mad, but she doesn't know that I've stepped out on her a few times too, so I feel like we're even. Should we break up?
I hate cheaters. I'm not a cheater. If you two are cheating on each other, you're obviously not in love—it's time for you to move on and stop wasting each other's time. Or at least have an open relationship. Bottom line: If my girlfriend cheated on me it would be done that moment. No second chances. Unacceptable. Too many fish in the sea.

LAUREN Conrad likes BAD BOYS, is this REALLY news?
Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - Lauren Conrad, star of "The Hills," said she isn't looking for Mr. Nice Guy. Over the weekend the star spoke her mind while at Saturday's White House Correspondent's Dinner in Washington, D.C, saying she isn't looking for a guy that she can take home to meet the folks.
Conrad, who attended the White House Correspondent's Dinner, told People.com that nice guys are great to take home to your parents, but she wants a guy who will keep her on her toes. That seems to be the case for Conrad, who has dated bad boys like Stephen Colletti and Brody Jenner.
While the star says she is dating now, and encourages fans to watch upcoming episodes of her reality show to find out who the bad boy is, you can bet it isn't someone who is all nice and warm and fuzzy.
So if Conrad, who has also launched a fashion line, isn't looking for Mr. Nice Guy, then what is she looking for in a man? She told People.com, "Someone with a great sense of humor is the most important thing, and someone who really supports me in everything I do," she said. "I don't ever want to make an excuse for trying to work hard and having my own life. I love a guy that supports that and loves that."

The Hills star does have a sex tape, says Spencer and Heidi...
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag of The Hills appeared on The Tyra Banks Show yesterday and stated that a sex tape featuring Lauren Conrad and her ex-boyfriend Jason Whaler does exist."I know for 100% fact it did exist – 1000%!," Spencer exclaims with vigor."From what I have heard from confirmed sources… her ex-boyfriend was going around trying to sell it," added Heidi.
Couple things, one, I do believe there is a sex tape. No one gets that mad over someone putting out a false rumor. Lc should just have admitted there was one and moved on. All of that said, its like shut up already Spencer and Heidi, your 15 minutes is up.

Lauren Conrad’s popularity and influence are evidenced by the demand for her endorsements by companies like College Tonight and her work as spokesperson for mark., the youth-oriented cosmetics line from Avon.

“’College Tonight’ is the one social network that encourages us to get out into the world and do all that in person, instead of at the computer. It’s private and secure, so we can feel safe. And it’s about real experiences and a full, healthy life. I want my work and my personal style to reflect those same values, so this is a great partnership.” Lauren Conrad says of her decision to become the National Spokesperson for this dynamic organization dedicated to the future of today’s motivated young people.

So much to talk about here! First this happened on a Thursday so you know the Camera's for the HILLS was rolling. Brody, Lauren, Stephanie, Speidi, and Audrina were all in the house! I have a feeling were going to get an episode full of people talking shiz in subtitles! So is LC now officially datin Casey's bro? Once is coincidence, twice is a trend! How many times is Heidi gonna wear that damn blue sandal? Lauren's dress is cute. Brody looks pissy. Stephanie is into showin off the fake rack idn't she? Can't wait for this EPISODE!
NO WHITE HOUSE for HEIDI Montag, thanks SPENCER!!
MSNBC had reportedly invited Heidi Montag to be a guest at its table at the White House Correspondents Gala but balked when Spencer Pratt demanded first class tickets for the couple when only Heidi was invited.
Spencer canceled Heidi’s appearance, claiming, according to a NY Post source, “It wasn’t ‘A-listy’ enough.”
“We are not having, nor did we invite, any celebrities to sit at our table,” said an MSNBC rep. However, a rep for Heidi and Spencer said, “There was a scheduling conflict so they couldn’t make it - but they always travel together.”
Also expected at various media tables are the Jonas Brothers, Hayden Panettierre, Ashlee Simpson, Pete Wentz, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.
Hayden Panettiere updates her fans!!
“Hey everyone! I’m in Vancouver right now filming a movie for Fox called, I Love You Beth Cooper. I’m having a blast filming and everyone is so nice. Chris Columbus is a wonderful director and one of my favorites so far. It’s very cool because I get to work with a lot of young people in this film and because it’s a comedy we get to be goofy all the time! I’m very excited to get back to Heroes in May and see all my cast mates. I also just received the script for episode one and let me tell you, it’s great! Heroes is back to the action and adventure that went on in the first season and even the first episode is packed with cliff hangers and lots of cool stuff! Hope all is well, thanks for checking out the site! Hayden”
Audrina PATRIDGE out shopping in WEST Hollywood!
Audrina just always looks kind of shabby for some reason.
Lauren CONRAD talks about her HAIR and FASHION!
Sen. Barack Obama says it’s time for a change.Lauren Conrad agreed - she cut off her long hair!“Bets were going on how long I would be able to go with short hair!” she said.Whoever took the under on that bet probably won - she showed up at a party Wednesday night in L.A. with long, blonde hair extensions!“I had separation anxiety — I missed my hair!” The Hills star admitted to Us Weekly. “I don’t feel girly without long hair! There is something so sexy about having long blonde hair. It’s so feminine.”
Lauren Conrad has also changed her mind on fashion this season. She used to favor 1920s-style dresses “that just kinda hang on your body.”Nowadays she’s into full skirts!“It’s all about the waist for me. They really emphasize the waist and flatter so many body shapes,” says LC. “Very beautiful. They look great on everyone. Prada is doing a bunch of them — it’s almost like a 1950s silhouette.”The Hills star / designer — who debuted her collection during L.A. Fashion Week in March — is already at work on holiday, resort and spring lines.“It’s crazy,” she said, “I’m already working on another one!”

On the BERT show.......
One of the Bert Shows interns is a single mother of two sets of young twins, in other words four kids. One set she had in wedlock. The other set out of wedlock. She is younger but I dont know her age, if I guessed mid to late twenties. Both baby's daddys are not in the picture.
First, let me address the obvious and get it out of the way, yes, the men are scum for leaving their kids.
So here is where it gets interesting/complicated. The girl's mom offered to take the kids for a year so she could get her career started and get her life together. The girl intially refused but has now accepted. Three other notes as you from your judgement. The mom is sick. the mom lives about 2-3 hours away. The mom is getting remarried to a former marine who supports the move.
A lot of Bert show callers totally bashed her and said no way should she ever leave her kids or pawn them off on someone else, in their words, "She just needed to make it work".
Ok, so, like I say I don't want to talk about the men, or the fact that she had kids out of wedlock or any of that, I want to only talk about what she should do now. I think we all would agree the men are scum and she never should have had kids out of wedlock.
Ok, so, I have to go against the callers. One, the mom wants to take the kids. The daughter did not ask her to do it. I think the mom is sick and wants to try and help the daughter get her life together before she passes away. I think that is highly admirable.
I think this family's best bet is in fact for the daughter to get her career going. She can either get it going and hopefully get in a position where she is earning good money 50/60K or more so that she can realistically provide for these kids or she is going to be working minimum wage jobs and never see the kids because she is working muliple low paying jobs.
I think as long as it understood that the daughter needs only FOCUS on the career and working the next year to save money, I think it could set the family up for success down the road. And I mean NO dating, no going out, only working even if it is night and day and weekends whatever.
What do ya'll think?
The reality is if she doesn't pull it togther its very likely that these kids will continue the trend and most likely end up undereducated and very possible pregnant or get someone pregnant. If the daughter doesn't pull it together the cycle will continue into another generation.
I hope the daughter pulls it off.

A commentor brought this up AND
The make a good point. On the Real World last night, a white girl and a black girl got in an argument. As the argument escalated, the blonde, southern, white girl repeatedly said "Let's not get GHETTO"!! While its really funny tv. As a white person I cringed. I am not into being all politically correct but that was really insulting. Thoughts?
Lauren CONRAD hits the REDKEN COCKTAIL Party!!
Ok, this dress on Lauren look great from the boobs up, it makes her look like she has a fabulous rack. But the middle makes her look like she has a beer gut or is pregnant by Casey's brother!! Lauren looks like a 10 from the chest up, a 1 in the middle, and then her legs and shoes are cute enough! Crazy!
Lauren CONRAD and DOUG Reinhardt leaving GOA!
A reader pointed these photos out and this is LC and Casey from Laguna Season 2's brother hangin, dating possibly. There are a couple more pictures I will post later of them as blogger is acting up today. Casey for those that forgot was the ditzy blonde who did pagents and told one of the boys that one of the girls, I think it was Alex had an STD. I think this is the brother Casey talked about that played minor league baseball.

Lauren CONRAD talks on a number of subjects!!
Before you read the article, it was just posted in Canada yesterday. A lot of the info I have heard before but this is not an old article is my point.TORONTO — Lauren Conrad, star of the hit MTV Hollywood reality show “The Hills,” says she’s got an uphill battle when it comes to proving herself as a fashion designer.
“Being on a reality show and then trying to branch out into designing, it’s kind of a double-edged sword,” Conrad said Friday in an interview at the head office of Canadian retailer Holt Renfrew, where her debut spring 2008 womenswear collection is now available.
“I would not be able to have the line if I didn’t have the reality show first or I wouldn’t be able to have it so soon, but because I was on a reality show, you don’t get the respect that you want and ... I have done everything to deserve it as far as all the designing and everything that I would’ve done, reality show or not. Because I got the opportunity so much sooner, people are quick to criticize.”
The Lauren Conrad Collection, available exclusively at Holt Renfrew in Canada and in 500 boutiques in the U.S. (and online at www.shoplaurenconrad.com), reflects Conrad’s upbringing in Southern California with light, flowing dresses and tops that have clean lines and shapes. All the items are machine-washable.
Conrad, whose training at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles and internship at Teen Vogue were documented in her show, has already created a spring, summer and fall collection for this year.
Canadians looking for warmer winter items from the Hollywood fashion plate shouldn’t get their hopes up, though.
“It really is a California brand,” said the 22-year-old, who appeared on the popular MTV reality series “Laguna Beach” four years ago before getting her own spinoff series that airs Monday nights on MTV Canada.
Conrad, who has complete creative control over her line, made her designer debut at Mercedes-Benz L.A. Fashion Week earlier this month.
The experience was “amazing” but at one point brought her to tears backstage, she said.
“I actually thought that I had messed up,” said Conrad, looking impeccably stylish in a purple dress and black heels.
“I was sending looks out and they were kind of untucked and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, it looked terrible,’ and I went out and did my wave and walked backstage and I just broke into tears and I was like, ‘Oh my God, it was so bad!’ ... I ended up seeing it (later on tape) and I was like, ‘OK, it was fine, it was fine.”’
Season 3 of “The Hills” returned from a winter hiatus this past Monday and got its highest number of viewers ever.
Conrad says she’s willing to do a fourth season of the show but isn’t sure about a fifth.
As for the ongoing tabloid speculation surrounding her life, Conrad confirms that she is single, doesn’t talk to Heidi Montag (her rival on “The Hills“) and still keeps in touch with her ex-boyfriend, Jason Wahler.
She also quashed rumours that a movie based on her show is being planned.
“I think I was doing an interview and they asked if they were going to do a ‘Hills’ movie, how would they film it, and then people kind of ran with it,” said Conrad, who lives in a house in Los Angeles with Audrina Patridge and Lauren (Lo) Bosworth, her BFFs on “The Hills.”
“But, no, there’s no ‘Hills’ movie in the works.”
“Being on a reality show and then trying to branch out into designing, it’s kind of a double-edged sword,” Conrad said Friday in an interview at the head office of Canadian retailer Holt Renfrew, where her debut spring 2008 womenswear collection is now available.
“I would not be able to have the line if I didn’t have the reality show first or I wouldn’t be able to have it so soon, but because I was on a reality show, you don’t get the respect that you want and ... I have done everything to deserve it as far as all the designing and everything that I would’ve done, reality show or not. Because I got the opportunity so much sooner, people are quick to criticize.”
The Lauren Conrad Collection, available exclusively at Holt Renfrew in Canada and in 500 boutiques in the U.S. (and online at www.shoplaurenconrad.com), reflects Conrad’s upbringing in Southern California with light, flowing dresses and tops that have clean lines and shapes. All the items are machine-washable.
Conrad, whose training at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles and internship at Teen Vogue were documented in her show, has already created a spring, summer and fall collection for this year.
Canadians looking for warmer winter items from the Hollywood fashion plate shouldn’t get their hopes up, though.
“It really is a California brand,” said the 22-year-old, who appeared on the popular MTV reality series “Laguna Beach” four years ago before getting her own spinoff series that airs Monday nights on MTV Canada.
Conrad, who has complete creative control over her line, made her designer debut at Mercedes-Benz L.A. Fashion Week earlier this month.
The experience was “amazing” but at one point brought her to tears backstage, she said.
“I actually thought that I had messed up,” said Conrad, looking impeccably stylish in a purple dress and black heels.
“I was sending looks out and they were kind of untucked and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, it looked terrible,’ and I went out and did my wave and walked backstage and I just broke into tears and I was like, ‘Oh my God, it was so bad!’ ...

Heidi MONTAG and SPENCER Pratt hit STK!
They are both just ugg and Spencer, pull up your damn pants!
Big EARED and BIG Eyebrowed Frankie Delgado hit the ABSOLUT 100 PARTY too!
Frankie might be worse looking than Spencer and Justin Bobby.
Kristin CAVALLARI at the ABSOLUT 100 PARTY!
Cute look. Someone said Kristin had really aged the other day and not well but I think she got some sun and had her shades on so it makes around her eyes look weathered right now but i think its just recent sun.

KRISTIN CAVALLARI and LAUREN CONRAD now dressing alike?
This looks like what we saw LC in when she was out shopping yesterday!
YO SPENCER!!
YO SPENCER! I've started seeing this guy, but I want to take it slow. I've gotten burned in the past. He says he's okay with it, but I'm starting to feel like he's losing interest. Are guys really willing to wait?
Sadly, most guys are dicks and are looking to get laid. You may be the lucky girl that found Mr. Romeo, but not likely. Sorry. I would advise that unless you're a born-again virgin who wants to keep it that way, give the guy what he's been waiting for. If he deserves it. If you're not ready, you're not ready. No guy should make you feel obligated to have sex with him.

HEIDI MONTAG wants to be a "BADASS"!!
Several weeks ago, we reported that Heidi Montag of the reality show, The Hills, had openly declared her support for presidential bet, John McCain. Last week, she promised to finally register in order to be eligible to actually cast her vote for her presidential choice.The Hills co-star spoke to MTV about what had kept her from getting her registration completed much sooner.
Your Take
buddytvgina said: I'm glad that she's been so busy wtih her album that she can't find time to register to vote. I'm going to...
see all » "I am definitely registering to vote,” Montag told MTV news backstage during her Heidiwood fashion show. “I've just been so busy and crazy filming and working on my album and working on my fashion show that I've hardly had any time, but it's definitely a priority, and I'm doing it this week." Montag is certainly busy with a host of things these days, particularly her fashion line, which has been launching at various shops and stores lately. She had earlier debuted Heidiwood at retail chain Anchor Blue and on Friday, the clothing brand took off at Kitson in Los Angeles. "I've been obsessed with fashion since I can remember. I used to have drawings all over my notebooks,” the Hills star declared. “So I moved to Italy for a year and I studied fashion there, and then I moved to the Academy of Art University of San Francisco. I just wanted my line to represent me. I want it to be fun and flirty for the everyday woman. You can dress it up, you can dress it down, you can mix and match it, and you feel good wearing it. And it fits every woman. It fits different silhouettes, and it's good for spring, because the fabrics are all lightweight." She also revealed that, as previously reported, while she's not jumping to take part in a potential Hills flick narrated by favorite frienemy and co-star, Lauren Conrad, she does have a clear notion of what would be a perfect movie for her to star in."The perfect movie I want to do is like [Jennifer Garner's character] Sydney Bristow on Alias,” Montag told MTV. “I want to be, like, an action star. I want a big gun, like Angelina Jolie roles. I want to be the badass." Well, if you ask Lauren Conrad, she just might say Heidi's film role ambition isn't that much stranger than reality.

HEIDI MONTAG wears the UGLIEST shoe I HAVE ever SEEN!
It is so ugly it did distract me from Heidi's ugliness which was maybe her plan all along! These pics are from Heidi's launch of HEIDIWOOD at KITSON.
KRISTIN Cavallari gets SET for a NEW PROJECT!
Kristin Cavallari and Rumer Willis will join Rob Schneider (Deuce Bigalow), in an indie ensemble comedy entitled Wild Cherry, reports Variety.
Rob Schneider will play the father of a high school senior who’s decided to lose her virginity to her boyfriend, the football’s team kicker.
But when she finds out the boyfriend’s only interested in her for the sake of the team’s “bang book,” she and her best friends plan their revenge inspired by the Greek play Lysistrata.

HEIDI MONTAG and SPENCER PRATT NEWLYWEDS!!
Prepare to throw up a little in your mouth: Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt's wedding may be televised. Speidi will follow in the idiot blonde footsteps of Jess Simpson and Nick Lachey for MTV, reports the New York Post, and may do their own "Newlyweds"-type show. They want cameras to follow them through the whole pre-nup process, and "all the drama that would be part of their wedding plans." And definitely no L.C.That taste in your mouth? Not going away.
IN case you missed it!
For all these nice NEW posts.....

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are currently in negotiations with MTV for their own “newlyweds” type of reality show, reports the NY Post.
Spencer, 24, was overheard at the Kobe Club on Tuesday night pitching the show to MTV programming head Tony DiSanto.
“Spencer was saying, ‘I want the world to see the real Heidi and Spencer,’ and was emphasizing that the show would be just about them. No Lauren Conrad,”

LATEST WHO wears it BETTER????
Who wears the Balenciaga sandals BETTER??? Sarah JESSICA or HEIDI??? By the way, the price tag for this uggg sandal - $725.00!!HEIDI Montag wants to continue HER quest to become the BIONIC woman!
The Hills‘ resident feminist hero Heidi Montag seems to be addicted to plastic surgery.
Last year, the 21-year-old fashion designer admitted to rhinoplasty and breast augmentation. Later on in the year, Heidi showed off a new pair of lips.
But she’s not done yet, according to Life & Style. Ms. Montag is considering getting a new pair of Hills. She’s considering butt implants!
Watch the report about Heidi’s asspirations at on E! News.
And for a review of Heidi’s new fashion line, check out NYMag.com.
Says the mag, “It’s bad. So bad.”
I guess its true what they say, some people get addicted to plastic surgery!!
BRODY JENNER and CORA SKINNER O-V-E-R!!
Hills star Brody Jenner didn’t quite seem like the settling kind. From his on-again, off-again romance with Hills costar Lauren Conrad, to his most recent relationship to model Cora Skinner, PEOPLE has confirmed the two have recently split and Jenner is a single man yet again.
This past weekend, Jenner showed up with a new woman on his arm (who wasn’t Skinner) at the Wrigley-sponsored NBA Entertainment League Season Wrap party in L.A. Says an eyewitness: “He was holding hands with a cute blonde. They rushed inside but he held her hand on the carpet and when they were waiting to get in. They were cute, she was definitely his date for the day.”
Jenner’s BFF Frankie Delgado wasn’t very shy about sharing his buddies new single status. “He was shouting, ‘Brody’s single,’ ” says a an onlooker.

HEIDI MONTAG and SPENCER PRATT sink to new DEPTHS!!
It's not a secret to media insiders that Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are in bed with one particular photo agency.The pair arrange with their pap friends to stage "exclusive" photo ops - the exclusivity makes the pics more valuable - and then the couple split the profits with the pag agency.
However, Speidi sank to a whole new low yesterday!
Pratt and Montag and their paparazzi photographer staged lots of photos in New York City on Wednesday. Lots and LOTS.
The gruesome twosome went to Central Park and brought along several changes of clothes so that they could stage lots of "exclusive" pics with their house photog and make it seem like they were there more than one day. Plus, different outfit changes increase the likelihood that different media outlets will buy different pics.
And, gross as it may be, we've bought one of them!
We'd buy more pics from the same day with Speidi wearing their different outfits, but we don't wanna be wastin' our money on them.
Spencer and Heidi are just as fake OFF camera as they are on The Hills.
At the end of the day, though, the real question remains: do U really care that they're fake????
FROM PEREZ HILTON
Stephanie PRATT and LAUREN CONRAD hangin!!
I know she has on a big heel but Stephanie looks like a GIANT compared to LC!AUDRINA PATRIDGE details A GREAT WEEKEND!!
Just how does a young woman survive the jungle that is Hollywood? Patridge, 22, doesn't pretend to have all the answers, but she's managed quite nicely for three seasons as one of the frenemies on MTV's reality series "The Hills." She has some definite ideas on how to fill a weekend too.
1. Mexicali Cocina Cantina Studio City
"Friday night dinner? I'll start by calling friends and going to dinner at Mexicali in Studio City. It's a cute little place, and after some chips, salsa and margaritas, I'm ready for the cheese enchilada/taco plate."
2. 4100 Bar Silver Lake / Echo Park
"After that, I like hitting this Gothic-Moroccan-style dive bar in Silver Lake called 4100. Cool place, nice booths. I didn't think anybody knew about it, but I went there a couple of weeks ago and Drew Barrymore was there."
3. The Griddle Cafe West Hollywood
"On Saturday, I'll go to the Griddle Cafe for breakfast. The best blueberry pancakes, and they're the biggest you'll ever see."
4. Toi Hollywood
"At night I'll get dressed up and go out for Thai food at Toi. It's decorated very rock 'n' roll inside with all these posters on the wall, and they play AC/DC and old-school metal bands."
5. Viper Room West Hollywood
"Then we'll finish off with a show at the Viper Room or the Roxy."
6. Home Restaurant Los Feliz
"On Sunday, all my girlfriends will have spent the night, so after we're finally up, we'll go to brunch at Home in Los Feliz. I like sitting outside and having a Bloody Mary. Later we'll go to the flea market on the corner of Fairfax and Melrose, where they have vintage jewelry and really cool things to decorate your place, things that you'll never see anywhere else."
7. Silent Movie Theatre Melrose
"Later, after an early dinner on the beach at Paradise Cove in Malibu, we'll go to the Silent Movie Theatre in the Fairfax district. The night's theme is: "You Hit Like a Girl -- The Ladies of Kung-Fu," and it's hysterical."

HEIDI MONTAG and SPENCER PRATT all for a SPIN OFF!
Move over, LC.
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are ready for their own Hills spin-off.
"I would love to eventually do a spin-off with Spencer and I," she tells Usmagazine.com (watch above).
"We've had a lot of ups and downs, and if we make it through this season, I'd love to look down the road to a spin-off," she says.
Montag, 21, also tells Us her father is "obsessed" with her beau.
"It's literally the only thing he calls to talk to me about!" she says. "He loves Spencer. He was so shocked with how funny and nice and down-to-earth [Spencer] was."
Check out Heidi and Spencer's cheesiest moments here.
As much as we hate em, we all know we'll watch!!

Kelly CUTRONE dishes on LAUREN Conrad and WHITNEY PORT!
Kelly Cutrone who runs the fashion PR shop People's Revolution has had the opportunity to watch Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port in action at different shows. She shared what she thought about them then and we've got the juice for you right here.
Kelly on Whitney:
"The thing with Whitney is she's actually very smart and a really talented worker,"She just happens to be a six-foot tall knockout blonde. Obviously, there are a lot of stereotypes that go along with being a six-foot tall knockout blonde, but she definitely doesn't conform to them. I love working with her."
Kelly on Lauren:
"That girl was so funny," shared Kelly. "She had to do a very simple task: come backstage at the show and get tickets for her editor. It's not that hard but she had a lot of trouble. She stood around backstage for at least a half hour before she figured out what to do. She didn't really have the sense of how to do things: she wanted stuff to fall on top of her and into her lap. In her position as an intern, she really needed to make things happen. Meanwhile, MTV committed a fashion faux-pas at the show: asking for a front row seat for their star. "I was like, absolutely not," said Kelly. "If she's an intern, she's not going to sit in the front row. I don't care that she's on MTV. She can stand in the back as an intern." That may change next season, when Lauren goes from intern to TV star (and this month's Teen Vogue cover girl).As for her future in the fashion industry, "I don't know how she'll do," says Kelly. "I mean, I wouldn't hire her, but she could grow. Everyone makes mistakes their first time."
LAUREN Conrad is NICE to fans but for $50K, shouldn't she be?
In Minneapolis, Spin has led the charge for celebrity nights, often favoring reality stars. In the past year, the club has brought in Lauren Conrad (MTV's "The Hills"), Kendra Wilkinson (E!'s "The Girls Next Door") and Brody Jenner (also of "The Hills"), among others.
Locally, celebs get paid between $5,000 and $100,000, depending on their degree of celebritude, said Spin's head manager, Danny DiNovis. Kardashian's check reportedly ranked somewhere in the lower-to-middle bracket.
Getting your own money's worth -- it cost $15 to get into Aqua Saturday, twice as much as usual -- depends on which celeb you're going out to see. Some take this job more seriously than others.
"It was pretty hectic for L.C.," DiNovis said of Conrad. "From the time she got here until the time she left, she was taking pictures and signing autographs. She definitely went out of her way to meet everybody."

WHITNEY PORT a MAN STEALER?
ELLEN K on the Ryan Seacrest show reports that Matt Kaplan's girlfriend pre Whitney had actually moved out form New York to be with him. And Whitney stole him! Oh, the drama!
Who would actually hire this GUY to model their clothes?
Is the line for the homeless? The scraggly hair, the bad teeth, the hairy chest, hardly model worthy!
KEEP your shirt on, FATTY!
Jason takes out the trash, he shoulda put himself on the curb! Katja Decker-Sadowski and Jason later went for a stroll wearing only their stained yellow teeth!
MORE posed SPENCER and HEIDI, this time from CENTRAL PARK!
These look like cheesy catalog photos with really ugly models!
HEIDI MONTAG says "NO" to a HILLS movie, what she means to say is she WANTS more MONEY!
"The Hills" star Heidi Montag isn't eager to star in a movie version of the hit reality TV show, because she sees herself suited to an acting role opposite Hollywood superstar Denzel Washington.Montag states she has never been approached to feature in a big-screen reality venture, but insists she wouldn't consider taking a part in the film if rival and co-star Lauren Conrad was narrating the plot.
She tells Hollyscoop.com, "I've never discussed a movie possibility for 'The Hills' ... and I'm not sure if for my first movie I'd let Lauren Conrad narrate me, so I don't think that would be something I would do.
"If I was doing movies, I'd want it to be with Denzel Washington or something like that. If they were to make a 'Hills' movie, I wouldn't be in it. No, thank you."
You know she'll do it for the money!
AUDRINA patridge has a great sense of humor even when she's being TOTALLY serious!
Audrina Patridge was feeling pretty confident while bumping and grinding her way through a late march Sin City performance with the Pussycat Dolls at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Not only did she move like a pro, but the Hills star, who later let loose and swigged Knights Head beer at Noir bar, was overheard boasting, "I'll be more famous than Lauren Conrad," a report from Star magazine details.The Hills Audrina Patridge Boasts "More Famous Than Lauren Conrad" (Image: Wenn)And Audrina may be right. The 22-year-old’s popularity skyrocketed after nude pictures of her were leaked on the Internet. She had posed for the photos hoping to get into Playboy magazine. And while that failed back then, now everyone knows Audrina as well as Lauren and Heidi Montag.
***And while Audrina wrote on her MySpace blog that the photos were “not meant to be seen by the public”, another source says she’s thrilled the sexy snaps earned rave reviews. People loved them and now the curiosity is there and even Playboy may now want a piece of her.“Audrina is now a big name in Hollywood,” says the source. “She knows that means she’ll become a bigger player.”
Audrina might want to read this blog where everyone thinks she is dirty and smelly.

More HEIDI and SPENCER in NYC!
I am getting a little sick of the J and COMPANY jeans! Is it the new 7?Justin BOBBY, a MODEL? SERIOUSLY?
Justin BOBBY, the model!
The Johnny Depp wanna-be (sans charisma, manners and a brain) has landed a gig posing for Orthodox, a sporty men's wear label. Think it's ambitious for Mr. Bobby to land a job on his own - fear not, Orthodox is a division of People's Revolution - the place Whitney, and now LC, "work." Isn't it great how everything just seems to work out on "The Hills?"
LAUREN Conrad NOT an innovator?
Christian Siriano thinks The Hills girls have nothing on him! Them chickens is ash and he's lotion!
The Project Runway winner told Life & Style in Vegas this past weekend that despite the money the rich Hills girls threw at their fashion lines the results weren't "that great."
The Project Runway winner went on to say, "I mean, it's fun and flirty and young, but they're not innovators. None of them will ever be an innovative designer. Buyers and editors are looking for longevity, and hopefully they will see that in me."

Heidi MONTAG rapped on TRL, yah, that was SMART!
Here's her rap:
Yo, yo I got Heidiwood
I’m wearing it all dayI like it, so what do you got to say
You got apple bottoms, what You know what’s going up
Um, keep going, I’ll keep flowing You know what I like to sayEveryday,
I’m in New York
It’s all good this way
WHAT an IDIOT!
Heidi MONTAG out in NYC!
I've decided these two made a deal even though they can't stand each other to be seen together to keep those checks coming from the HILLS! They know without each other, their the next Jen Bunney and NOT on the show anymore!
Heidi MONTAG talks about her new LINE!
Looks like the catfight between Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag is extending beyond “The Hills” and to the catwalk. After bashing Conrad’s fashion line, The Lauren Conrad Collection, Montag has decided to try to do her one better. She’s distributing her own line, Heidiwood, through Anchor Blue stores this month. According to Montag, “It’s going to be very price oriented. I want all my fans to be able to buy it. I want to bring that fashionable clothing line down to a price range where people can actually afford it.” Sounds like that’s a jab at her rival and ex-BFF, Conrad, since most of Conrad’s clothing is priced over $100…!
And how are Heidi Montag’s duds going to differ from Lauren Conrad’s. She says, “I want to do some cute spring dresses, some little flowy summer dresses, some fun things for girls. The [Lauren Conrad] fashion line is more bows and a little girlier, mine’s going to be more sexy and fun. I think they can both do well. They’re very different. So good luck to her. I’m not doing this to compete.” Really? Heidi Montag claims she’s more of a legit fashionista than Conrad, yet she dropped out of fashion school. Also, Conrad has been on several lists as the young entrepreneur to beat – can Montag come off seeming legit or like a cheap knockoff?

Also, Conrad has been on several lists as the young entrepreneur to beat – can Montag come off seeming legit or like a cheap knockoff?

Talan's EX, Nicole Scherzinger, why even bother with the shirt?
It ain't like we can't see everything!
Spencer looks like a BUM and HEIDI his 2 cent HOOKER!
Poor Spencer's credit cards are so maxed out he can't even afford to fake he has money anymore!
Defintion of SCHLEPPIN - MEET Kristin CAVALLARI!
I hope she's coming from the gym and going STRAIGHT home!
"He's just COOL"!! - YAH, thats a great reason to elect someone PRESIDENT, Brody just SHUT the HELL UP!
Another fight could be brewing on The Hills! This time it may be about, of all things, the presidential election.Heidi Montag made headline news recently when she announced she supports Sen. John McCain.Well, now Brody Jenner tells me he’s for Sen. Barack Obama.“He’s just cool!” Jenner said at last night’s Wrigley party for the NBA Entertainment League at club LAX in Hollywood. “I mean, he’s young and I think people would take us more seriously with Iraq and everything...Personally, I think we’re either going to have a woman president or we’re going to have a black president, which are both amazing. Right now it’s time for change, and I think both of them are great. But [Obama] is cool. I just think he’s cool.”A spokesperson for Obama could not be immediately reached.
Brody has the depth of a f-ing squirrel! What a moron! And anyone who thinks Barack should be President because he's a great speaker, guess what, Fidel Castro and Hitler were charasmatic speakers as well!
LAUREN Conrad a ONE trick PONY?
While away from home, the The Hills' Lauren Conrad keeps her new pup Chloe close with a gold charm necklace engraved with its name.
HOOCHIEWEAR, I mean, HEIDIWOOD debuts!
Heidi Montag debuted her fashion line, Heidiwood, Friday in Hollywood.
Models hit the catwalk as music from her upcoming, as-yet-untitled pop album blared.
Montag, 21, worked the runway in sky-high black stiletto platform pumps, super short black shorts and a midriff-baring zebra print halter top. ("I love zebra print!" she said. "I'm obsessed with it!")
The real head-turning moment of the night? Spencer Pratt popped on stage and gave Montag two dozen long-stemmed, pink roses before kissing her on the lips.(See their 13 cheesiest moments here.)
So is all well between the on-and-off Hills pair?
"I mean, you know, we're up, we're down," she told reporters after the show. "It's just the routine."
Though they are not living together, "the bottom line is that we love each other," Montag added. "We always have, and we're just trying to figure out our stuff like every other couple."

Her line looks like TRAMP wear!
Lauren, Heidi and AUDRINA not real STARS?
'WHO ARE you?"
The voice came booming behind me so loudly, I almost dropped my Cocoa Puffs. I quickly counted my items, and glanced nervously at my checkout line category. Had I put 16 items down on the conveyer belt in the 15-items-or-less line? Did I dawdle too long before asking the bagger to put the products in my reusable bags instead of the standard plastic-or-paper?
No, it turned out that the indignant woman behind me simply could not believe the faces gracing the current crop of magazines lining the checkout line.
"I don't know a single so-called celebrity on any of these magazines," she ranted at no one in particular. "Who are these people?"
Lady, if you don't know the cast of MTV's manipulated reality series "The Hills," then you're probably out of luck when it comes to the current crop of celebrity rags. The biggest sellers these days have people like Brody Jenner showing off his sleek body, or Audrina Patridge in close to nothing.
And a quick show of hands of anyone who believes that John McCain really knew who Heidi Montag was when she recently endorsed him for president. Wait: Maybe he is reading those magazines in all those airports.
Ah, don't we all wish we could go back to those heady days of Brangelinaston, when you had real movie stars like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie breaking the heart of TV sweetheart Jennifer Aniston. They provide some level of entertainment in a train wreck kind of way. We'd seen Brit grow up from a naughty schoolgirl to a straitjacket queen. We knew her. She was a celebrity.
Then there was the fairy-tale romance of former "Dawson's Creek" good girl Katie Holmes and box office magician Tom Cruise, merging into TomKat. Aaah, isn't it nice that she used to have a crush on him when she was a teen-ager? Oooh, was he really trying to convert this Catholic girl to Scientology? And in between, we could ponder how she towered over the tiny Cruise, how she could walk in stilettos on the beach and how great she looked after she birthed little Suri. And little Suri. She was born to celebrity.
Those were household names that piqued our checkout interests. Now, the racks can't get enough of "The Hills."
Just a quick rundown, which I didn't provide to grocery-woman. "The Hills" follows the lives of spoiled rich girls and BFFs (well, before the spat over boyfriends) Lauren Conrad and Heidi. Lauren's new roommate and pal is Audrina, a similarly money-enhanced young thing. There's also Whitney Port, but who cares? The four share about half a brain cell.
Since the show and the reality are hopelessly tangled, viewers get involved in what happens both on- and offscreen with the relationships.
Hypester Spencer Pratt's in a tussle with Lauren and dating Heidi. Or not dating, depending on which tabloid you read. Pratt used to be best friends with Brody, who used to date Lauren. They are estranged. Or just playing it up for the cameras. Hard to tell.
In this world, Big Brother — and for those more into pop culture than literature, that's a reference to the novel "1984," not the TV series — is courted rather than reviled. Wouldn't that just send George Orwell spinning in his dirt nap?
It's not that people aren't interested in real stars. Just a mere mention of a split between Brad and Jennifer — who needs last names? — in a recent spate of news articles made it the most clickable item that day online. But it was just a cheap trick, a feeble excuse to grab some juice from a pedestrian story about the two dissolving some business concerns.
Disappointing.
Why can't Jennifer Lopez go back to being J.Lo and we discover the twins were really the result of a one-night stand with Ben Affleck after a tiff with the other Jen? Something with some real stars, and some real juice.
How bad has it gotten for those seeking out some tasty celebrity gossip?
On a recent "TMZ," we actually pitied the paps as they chased down Sigourney Weaver. That's right: Sigourney-haven't-been-in-a-hit-movie-this-decade-Weaver. Even Weaver looked bemused over the fact that she had suddenly become the most attractive paparazzi bait in Hollywood.
So you can see why they would salivate over someone like "The Hills'" Audrina, who actually released her own nude pictures to the press after seeing some that were "leaked." She felt that she needed something a bit better out there.
Wasn't there a time when celebrities attempted to avoid nude pictures of themselves splashed in public?
Oops. Did I just call these people celebrities?

Audrina PATRIDGE and LAUREN CONRAD's crushes revealed!!
The Hills are alive with the sound of... High School Musical?At least it is according to reality star Lauren Conrad! "High School Musical's pretty random, right?" she tells OK!. "I love that."Lauren, 22, also happens to love HSM star, and younger man, Zac Efron, 20. "He's my crush right now," she says. We're pretty sure Zac's girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens, would have something to say about that! Meanwhile, Lauren's friend and nudie-photo queen Audrina Patridge is yearning for another young star. While dining at STK in L.A. on March 26 Audrina, 22, revealed her fantasy boyfriend to pals."I do have a crush on somebody," she said. "I kind of have a crush on Henry Cavill, that guy from The Tudors. I love that show."

YO SPENCER!!
YO SPENCER! I'm 24 and after months of threatening, my parents finally cut me off. Do you have any suggestions on how I should budget myself so I can keep living large without going broke?
Just keep up appearances. Buy knock-off designer threads, fake ice, go to expensive restaurants, and order only soup and a cranberry juice. Don't buy girls drinks unless it's a special case. Or just get a rich girlfriend. Nobody says there's anything wrong with a sugar momma if you treat her right.

Lauren CONRAD and her CATS are a pain in the ASS!
Audrina Patridge also “gets really annoyed at Lauren’s cats because they pee on her rug and on her bed,” according to the newspaper.A rep for Patridge said in response to this story:“This is ridiculous. Audrina loves living with Lauren.”One tip that this celebrity gossip is probably bogus: Audrina lives in LC’s guest house, we’ve been told while Lauren Conrad and Lauren Bosworth live in the main house.
Whitney PORT and LAUREN CONRAD - ROOMIES?
A bit of breaking Hills gossip to hold you over until next week's episode: We hear Lauren Conrad and her BFF, aspiring stylist Whitney Port, are moving in together!
A source close to production of the show tells Radar that the idea for the housing experiment was MTV's, and that the network will be paying for the Los Angeles apartment. Whitney and Lauren, of course, are total besties, because they used to work at Teen Vogue together and then traveled to Paris together and now do fashion-y stuff for PR lady Kelly Cutrone together.
Why is this such a big whoop?
• Even though the two are supposedly great friends, Whitney has long been Lauren's chief underminer, and has made a habit of subtly making Lauren feel like she's not really good enough in whatever relationship and job-related endeavors she pursues. Whether Whitney's undermining streak will intensify when the two share living arrangements remains to be seen, but we're betting it'll make for good television.
• Whitney and Lauren both have their own fashion labels. Lauren's has been lauded as a success, but poor Whitney can't even get New York stores to stock her label. Awkward! Will the two begrudgingly wear each others' clothes? Will their divergent successes lead to roommate frisson? We don't know, but we're glad MTV will be there to find out!
• We already know Lauren is a not-so-great roommate. The New York Post today reports that Lauren's current roommate, daft Playboy reject Audrina Patridge, has to lock the door to her bedroom when she leaves their apartment because "she doesn't trust Lauren." And Lauren's cat pees all over Audrina's shit. Based solely on appearances, we'd say that prissy Whitney will probably not take kindly to that sort of thing.
Buckle up, kiddos. This is going to be great.

Audrina and LC don't get along?
Things between "The Hills" stars Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge may not be as chummy as they look on the screen. We hear that Patridge, who is roomies with Conrad, locks the door to her bedroom when she leaves their LA apartment because "she doesn't trust Lauren," according to one source. Not to mention that Patridge "gets really annoyed at Lauren's cats because they pee on her rug and on her bed." A rep for Patridge said, "This is ridiculous. Audrina loves living with Lauren."
I have to call bs - Audrina lives in the guesthouse so of course she would lock the door if she went out. And if this is about the old apartment days, If I had a roomie I would lock the door to my room too if i wasn't there. Not necessarily because of the roommate but say they had a group of people over, you cant watch a few people every second, something could get stolen.

Lauren Conrad pulls out the polka-dots and gets a TICKET!
The belt look is not flattering!! The polka's - you like?
Spencer PRATT and HEIDI MONTAG out in LA!
First, Spencer does look like Beavis from Beavis and Butthead. Second, Heidi totally ignores Spencer. Who are they fooling?
DID Kristin CAVALLARI get a nose jOB?
It seems that if you want to be friends with The Hills star, 22-year old Lauren Conrad, then you’re going to need plastic surgery.
Back in Laguna Beach, Lauren Conrad, or LC as she was known back then, was close “frienemies” with Kristin Cavallari. Since leaving Laguna, LC seems to be untouched by plastic surgery, other than some time in a tanning booth.

But it seems Kristin Cavallari may have had a rhinoplasty.
Although 21-year old Kristin’s nose was never especially large, it appears to be smaller now, with tinier nostrils and a slimmed down nasal bridge.

You’ll recall that Kristin isn’t Lauren’s only acquaintance to have had a rhinoplasty, as Heidi Montag has fixed her nose last year (read the full story on Heidi Montag’s rhinoplasty).
Nor is Heidi Montag the only roommate of Lauren’s to have had a breast augmentation. (read the full story on Heidi Montag’s breast implants).
Nor is Heidi Montag the only roommate of Lauren’s to have had a breast augmentation. (read the full story on Heidi Montag’s breast implants).
23-year old Audrina Partridge, Lauren’s current roommate, has recently had nude photos surface on the Internet, allowing Make Me Heal a glimpse of what is most certainly a set of breast implants.
Audrina’s breasts appear high and firm and don’t seem to flatten out when her arms are raised. There is also a deep cleavage and separation of the breasts, all positive indicators of having had a breast augmentation. When the photos appeared, Audrina said, “I took these photos years ago when I was just out of high school and beginning to model. I was young and very trusting of others and I didn’t know to protect myself. It is a lesson learned, for myself, and hopefully for the young girls who look up to me.”

Plastic surgeon Dr. John Di Saia agrees with Make Me Heal about Audrina, saying, “Very likely breast implants have been placed probably at least a year prior to the images being taken.” Which means Audrina was most likely in high school and under 18 when the breast augmentation was performed. Plastic surgeons often recommend patients be 18 before performing a breast augmentation to make sure that the patient is physically and mentally mature enough to undergo surgery.
The Hollywood Hills clan seems to be filled with plastic surgery, unless you’re Lauren Conrad.

Lauren CONRAD a BLOOGER now TOO!
The Hills star Lauren Conrad is everywhere these days. In addition to starring in a pseudo-reality show and looking pretty on various red carpets, she'll be blogging for NHL.com during the Stanley Cup playoffs. Not exactly a leap up the social-climber ladder but whatever.
In the release, LC says she's "a casual hockey fan who has gotten into going to Kings games over the past two seasons." She adds: "I'm blogging about the Stanley Cup Playoffs because I LOVE live hockey and I thought this would be a fun way to get more involved with the post-season."
Director-of-the-moment Jason Reitman, Kevin Smith, Willa Ford-Modano — wife of Dallas Stars captain Mike Modano — and a bunch of other celebs we couldn't spot in Google Images will also write blogs during the playoffs.
No word on whether Alyssa Milano will continue hers, but we hope so. At least she knows some athletes.

Lauren CONRAD adopts a HOCKEY TEAM!
As an O.C. girl, the closest Lauren Conrad got to the ice was sipping her chilled latte – but all that changed when she moved to Los Angeles and started watching Kings games the last two seasons. But with Los Angeles failing to make the National Hockey League playoffs this year, The Hills star says, she's returning to her roots. "I grew up with in Laguna Beach, in the heart of Ducks country," writes Conrad, 22, one of the N.H.L.'s celebrity bloggers during the playoffs, which start this week. "Since the Kings are out of it, I'll adopt my fellow Orange County Anaheim Ducks as my team for the playoffs."With the blog, she'll now have to learn the nuances of the game, and she put out a plea for help: "Is there anything you guys think I should know as I watch the Ducks?"
Another UNIQUE take on the HILLS!
I still remember the first time that I stumbled on MTV's "The Hills," and how confused I was. This couldn't be scripted, since the dialogue was awful and the characters could barely deliver their lines. But it couldn't be a reality show because the scenes played out a little too perfectly. The cameras always happened to be rolling when the phone rang or the meaningful text message arrived.
It is, of course, a reality show, but a strangely innovative one. Lauren Conrad and her friends in Los Angeles might replay scenes that they've already lived through, or make carefully timed entrances into rooms so the cameras can get the right angle, but they never give a hint that they're being filmed. "The Hills," a coming-of-age follow-up to MTV's "Laguna Beach," drops the pretense of the confessional and the sense of manufactured conflict in favor of a new charade: pretending that the cameras aren't there.
We viewers are expected to keep up our end of the bargain: Forget about Lauren's clothing line and her Mercedes, forget the single that Heidi recently released. Pretend these are struggling young women, trying to make it in the cutthroat world of L.A.
It's a concept that I've struggled with from the start, so when I queried a group of Suffolk University students recently about the show, I was surprised to hear how much they connected with this overprivileged crowd. One girl, a smart, poised journalism student — whose life must be very different from Conrad's — told me that she likes the show because she can relate.
She's not the only one; "The Hills" is an unmitigated MTV hit, and not just among the college crowd. John McCain, who recently won an endorsement from Heidi, told Time magazine that he never misses the show, and it's hard to tell if he was being facetious.
The first of the current eight-episode run of "bonus" installments drew 4.8 million viewers, the show's top ratings ever. The day after it aired, the episode drew 1.8 million streams from MTV.com. (The fifth episode will air at 10 p.m. Monday.)
Show triggers diatribe
Not everyone approves, of course. "The Hills" was the subject of a recent torrid rant from indie singer-songwriter Juliana Hatfield, who wrote on her blog that the show glorifies the worst of excess. "Think of the waste, the expense, the ethical repercussions of never wearing an expensive outfit more than once!" she seethed. "How can they live with themselves knowing there are children in Ethiopia who don't have a thing to wear?"
It's an unsurprising critique, but it also says a lot about the image that MTV has created for itself. In the past, the erstwhile music network has done great work cultivating a sort of poor-alternakid cred, creating reality shows that gawk at wealth without fully celebrating it, offering rich peoples' lives as cautionary tales. "Rich Girls," a "Hills" antecedent that premiered in 2003, featured Tommy Hilfiger's daughter and her best friend, who traipsed around Manhattan in limousines, complaining about how miserable they were. It played out like justification for a normal life.
"My Super Sweet 16," a tale of monster parties and monstrous teens, is a portrait of wealth so grotesque it turns hating rich kids into sport. Other networks have managed the same balance. In Bravo's new "Real Housewives of New York City," the cameras practically drip with loathing, inviting us to mock, not envy.
The pretense of struggle
What "The Hills" does, as Hatfield suggests, is much more dangerous: It makes fabulous wealth seem less excessive, more accessible. The pretense of "The Hills" is that these girls are struggling, toiling in school and at glamorous-but-entry-level jobs. (Lauren and her friend Whitney run errands as interns at Teen Vogue, Heidi works for an event planner, and Audrina answers phones at Epic Records.) Low wages notwithstanding, they go home to fabulous apartments and spend nights on the town, and yes, Juliana, they do wear those clothes.
The bare fact of their wealth negates some of the drama; when Lauren frets over whether her boss at Teen Vogue will ever send her to Paris, you can't help but think, Can't you just ask your parents for a trip?
On the other hand, I can understand why Lauren, known as L.C. to her fans, is a likeable figure. Unlike those horrid "real housewives" on Bravo, Lauren seems so unaware of her wealth and privilege — on camera at least — that she appears unaffected by it. Maybe it's because she already has everything one could materially acquire; her struggle is all about relationships, not acquisition. She truly aspires to be a decent and regular person.
The youngest fans of "The Hills" are likely recent graduates of "Hannah Montana," the Disney Channel sitcom about a music superstar who takes pains to preserve her ordinary life and her mostly-grounded friends. "The Hills" offers that fantasy in reverse: A girl whose real life is loaded with glamour is secretly all alone.
It is, of course, a reality show, but a strangely innovative one. Lauren Conrad and her friends in Los Angeles might replay scenes that they've already lived through, or make carefully timed entrances into rooms so the cameras can get the right angle, but they never give a hint that they're being filmed.

What "The Hills" does, as Hatfield suggests, is much more dangerous: It makes fabulous wealth seem less excessive, more accessible. The pretense of "The Hills" is that these girls are struggling, toiling in school and at glamorous-but-entry-level jobs. (Lauren and her friend Whitney run errands as interns at Teen Vogue, Heidi works for an event planner, and Audrina answers phones at Epic Records.) Low wages notwithstanding, they go home to fabulous apartments and spend nights on the town, and yes, Juliana, they do wear those clothes.
The bare fact of their wealth negates some of the drama; when Lauren frets over whether her boss at Teen Vogue will ever send her to Paris, you can't help but think, Can't you just ask your parents for a trip?
On the other hand, I can understand why Lauren, known as L.C. to her fans, is a likeable figure. Unlike those horrid "real housewives" on Bravo, Lauren seems so unaware of her wealth and privilege — on camera at least — that she appears unaffected by it. Maybe it's because she already has everything one could materially acquire; her struggle is all about relationships, not acquisition. She truly aspires to be a decent and regular person.
The youngest fans of "The Hills" are likely recent graduates of "Hannah Montana," the Disney Channel sitcom about a music superstar who takes pains to preserve her ordinary life and her mostly-grounded friends. "The Hills" offers that fantasy in reverse: A girl whose real life is loaded with glamour is secretly all alone.
Lauren and HEIDI MONTAG were back together YESTERDAY!!
Stop the press! Lauren and Heidi are mates again!
Feuding Hills stars Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag had to put their differences aside for a day yesterday as they appeared together with the other girls in a shoot for the cover of Rolling Stone.
This will be the first time in two years that the girls have appeared in a photo shoot together - so the results should be interesting.
Maybe Lauren's been feeling a bit lonely after confessing to having trouble finding a man? She's said:
"Dating [on The Hills] is hard because, personally, I don't really want to date a guy that wants to be on a reality show, but those are the only kind of guys I can date."
Bummer.
Although she doesn't seem to be having too bad a time with these male reality stars - Brody Jenner and Frankie Delgado. In fact, looks like they're all having quite a giggle.
Just one word of advice though Lauren - lose those Lycra leggings. Not good.

Hills RECAP - April 7, 2008 EPISODES
Awkward conversations rife with warnings about backstabbers seem to be last night's theme on The Hills as the show opens with chief backstabber Stephanie Pratt winning a hesistant last-minute invite to the exclusive Lauren Conrad birthday party.After the opening credits roll, and Heidi has threatened to punch Spencer in the face, proving that, yes kids, violence is always the answer, Stephanie Pratt returns home to her condo to find her brother's gigantic fish tank situated directly in the centre of her living room. She's not psyched. Justifiably, she asks him when he's planning on getting a job. And this is an excellent question because by my count Spencer Pratt has not had a real job since, let's see, this Monday will make it........yeah, never. It's finally time for Lauren Conrad's big birthday evening at S-Bar and she casually informs best friend Lo Bosworth that Stephanie Pratt might "stop by" but she might not. Seriously? Homegirl lives for drama. She's stopping by. At the party, Lo and Audrina talk about how they don't trust Stephanie. Then the camera zooms out and they are literally 5 feet away from her. AWKWARD. Later, it's Brody Jenner: Superhottie's turn to warn Lauren about Stephanie. He tells her to be careful, thus becoming the 4586556th member of the I Hate Stephanie Pratt Club.When He-Pratt finds out about She-Pratt's appearance at Lauren's birthday, he confronts her with an obviously rehearsed speech in which he employs one of the best lines ever uttered in the history of The Hills. In response to Stephanie's statement that he's "making her cry right now", he snaps back with the zinger, "you're making yourself cry thinking about what you did." Oh Spence, manipulative and poetic.Heidi rounds out the episode by espousing yet another warning to "be careful", but this time it's to Stephanie about Lauren. She claims that she and Spencer did "nothing" to Lauren. When are they going to learn that the answer is always to Blame Spencer?Finally, Whitney's back! We catch up with her at People's Revolution where her boss, Kelly Cutrone, is holding a meeting and illustrating that as an employee of hers, if you screw something up, she will kill you in your sleep. The poor overly-lipsticked girl sitting to Whitney's right incurs the Wrath of Cutrone, but Whitney makes it out of the meeting unscathed.Back at Steph Pratt's apartment, she and Heidi declare a Girls Night and head out to club Vice. What a coincidence! Audrina just happens to be there with workplace confidante Chiara. Heidi attempts to make amends and Audrina actually gives her some good advice, noting that "you have to learn how to keep your friends while you're dating someone." This is probably a bajillion times harder, however, when the "someone" you're dating is Spencer Pratt.Oblivious to all of this drama for now, Lauren and Whitney set up a lunch date at Whitney's workplace. Any logical person would think this risky given the verbal beating Whitney's boss served up to Lipstick Girl mere minutes ago, but it ends up working out in Lauren's favour as one of Whitney's superiors sidles up and offers LC a position at NY Fashion Week. See how easy it is, kids? I wonder if I go turn some knobs at a recording studio, someone will offer me a record deal...Tipped off about the Heidi-Audrina encounter by Stephanie, Lauren heads home and informs Audrina that she can be friends with Heidi but warns her about being good friends with her. Oh ok, so she'll only start a sex tape rumour about you once you've reached "good friend" status. Glad we cleared that up.Later, while Lauren is out, Heidi drops by the Conrad/Patridge apartment to pick up some of her stuff. She again expresses to Audrina her desire to be friends, complete with the Heidi Montag signature pleading look, which is actually more effective with those new lips of hers. She departs and Lauren returns, upset that Heidi didn't just "grab her stuff and leave." Audrina looks nervous, Lauren looks murderous, and it's clear we haven't seen the last of this Audrina-Heidi reconciliation.
Oh boo-hoo Lauren CONRAD!!
"Dating [on The Hills] is hard because, personally, I don't really want to date a guy that wants to be on a reality show, but those are the only kind of guys I can date," she says.

Lauren CONRAD gets praised for HELPING the SEALS!
It’s so easy to watch shows like The Hills and Laguna Beach and think to yourself, “Wow those are about the worst people ever”, but every now and then a seemingly unaware reality star steps up and does something admirable.Such is the case with Lauren Conrad and her recent fight to stop the slaughter of seals in Canada. Ecorazzi reported earlier about this horrific problem when Pamela Anderson used her fame to help make a difference, and now it looks like Lauren is speaking out too.
Lauren said, “I am a huge animal lover and that includes seals. I think the killing of innocent baby seals is awful and should definitely not be allowed.”
Like Lauren and Pamela, other celebrities that have spoken out on behalf of seal, including Hayden Panettiere and Sienna Miller. America’s Next Top Model judge Nigel Barker even designed a t-shirt that says “Make A Fashion Statement, Save the Seals.” However, I find that fishy (no pun intended) after Nigel was so willing to sit back and allow that disgusting meat locker photo shoot on ANTM a couple weeks ago.
If you want to learn more about the cruel seal industry or just pick up some fashionable yet activisty gear, visit the Humane Society of the United States’ website and find out how you can get involved.
What about all the sharks that feed on seals? Should we kill them?
Want a FLAT stomach for the SUMMER?

Take two tablespoons of apple vinegar after each meal. She says it aids in shall we say the removal of toxins from the body.

Audrina PATRIDGE's JEALOUSY claws come out!
Audrina has ditched her talent agency UTA, E! News has learned.That's right, her talent agency.
Apparently, the Hills honey thought the agency wasn't treating her as well as another one of its reality clients: Lauren Conrad.
Hayley Lozitsky from United Talent Agency confirms to E! that UTA is no longer working with Audrina. “We no longer represent Audrina,” Lozitsky tells E! “We still represent everyone else, though. We still represent Whitney, Lauren Conrad and Lo (Bosworth).“ When asked for the reason for Patridge’s departure, Lozitsky declined to comment. But a source close to the situation tells E! that Audrina thought UTA had "a conflict of interest" in repping both she and Conrad. "Lauren was getting all the big offers, all the endorsements, the appearances," says a source. "And Audrina thinks she should be just as big of a star." Sources at UTA confirmed that the agency officially severed ties with Patridge on Friday. Patridge’s manager, Gladys Gonzalez at John Carrabino Management, declined to comment.

Heidi, hun, it might help to REGISTER to vote!
Republican strategists will be scrambling to cover for a new setback in John McCain's campaign – turns out that Heidi Montag can't vote. No, not because she can't read the ballot: She's not registered! Radar checked out the registration records in Colorado and L.A. County, but no one called "Heidi Montag" exists in the voter database. Her rep didn't know whether H-Mo was registered. McCain could use her help in Colorado: He lost his primary there.
Celebs without education like Heidi and LAUREN too should not be speaking on any issues because guess what they don't know what the hell their talking about!

Lauren CONRAD so OVER Brody JENNER!
Lauren Conrad avoided her ex Brody Jenner at L.A. club Goa Thursday night.
Jenner arrived just before 11 p.m. and chilled with his pack of six friends, including Frankie Delgado.
Wearing a white baby doll dress over jeans, Conrad – who just turned 22 – showed up around midnight.
She and a mystery guy were escorted to a VIP area, where they remained most of the night, a witness tells Usmagazine.com.
"Lauren did not once go over and say hi to Brody," the on-looker says. "Neither of them spoke all night."
Brody didn't seem to mind.
"He was very happy and drinking the entire night," the witness says.
In the season premiere of The Hills, Conrad called Jenner "scum" in French after finding out that he met a girl two days after she flew to Paris.
Conrad (who announced she will not be endorsing a presidential candidate) told Us Weekly of Jenner's betrayal, "When you have that type of thing, you always have to question, 'Why wasn't I good enough?'"
One take on WHY people watch the HILLS!
I still remember the first time I stumbled on The Hills, and how confused I was. It couldn’t be scripted, since the dialogue was awful and the characters could barely deliver lines. But it couldn’t be a reality show, because the scenes played out too perfectly. Cameras always happened to be rolling when the phone rang or the meaningful text message arrived.It is, of course, a reality show, but a strangely innovative one. Lauren Conrad and her friends in Los Angeles might replay scenes they’ve already lived through, or make carefully timed entrances into rooms so the cameras can get the right angle, but they never give a hint that they’re being filmed.The Hills, a coming-of-age follow-up to MTV’s hit Laguna Beach (which starred Conrad) drops the pretense of the confessional and the sense of manufactured conflict in favor of a new charade: pretending that the cameras aren’t there.We viewers are expected to keep up our end of the bargain.Forget all about Lauren Conrad and new clothing line or her Mercedes, forget the single Heidi Montag recently released. Pretend these are normal, struggling young women, trying to make it in the cutthroat world of L.A.
The Hills’ Lauren Conrad, Audrina Patridge and Whitney Port.One girl, a smart, poised journalism student in Boston - whose life must be very different from LC’s - told me she likes the show because she can relate.She’s not the only one.The Hills is an unmitigated MTV hit, and not just among the college crowd. John McCain, who won an endorsement from Heidi Montag, told Time magazine he never misses the show, and it’s hard to tell if he was being facetious.The first of the current eight-episode run of spring “bonus” installments of The Hills drew 4.8 million viewers, the show’s highest ratings to date. The day after it aired, the episode drew another 1.8 million streams from MTV.com.
Not everyone approves, of course. "The Hills" was the subject of a recent torrid rant from indie singer-songwriter Juliana Hatfield, who wrote on her blog that the show glorifies the worst of excess. "Think of the waste, the expense, the ethical repercussions of never wearing an expensive outfit more than once!" she seethed. "How can they live with themselves knowing there are children in Ethiopia who don't have a thing to wear?"
It's an unsurprising critique, but it also says a lot about the image MTV has created for itself. In the past the erstwhile music network has done great work cultivating a sort of poor-alternakid cred, creating reality shows that gawk at wealth without fully celebrating it, offering rich peoples' lives as cautionary tales. "Rich Girls," a "Hills" antecedent that premiered in 2003, featured Tommy Hilfiger's daughter and her best friend, who traipsed around Manhattan in limousines, complaining about how miserable they were. It played out like justification for a normal life. "My Super Sweet 16," a tale of monster parties and monstrous teens, is a portrait of wealth so grotesque it turns hating rich kids into sport. Other networks have managed the same balance. In Bravo's new "Real Housewives of New York City," the cameras practically drip with loathing, inviting us to mock, not envy.
What "The Hills" does, as Hatfield suggests, is much more dangerous: It makes fabulous wealth seem less excessive, more accessible.

And while she isn't the smartest or wisest soul, she tries to see the best in people while protecting her fragile reputation. This season, she befriends the sister of Spencer, the boyfriend of her former best friend Heidi, even though Heidi and Spencer spread vicious rumors that Lauren made a sex tape. If that's not generosity of spirit, I don't know what is.
Heidi and Spencer function, on the show, as Lauren's spiritual foils, a beautiful, miserable pair of people who can't bridge their mutual selfishness. Spencer, in particular, is a marvel of casting: He carries himself unapologetically like a young James Spader in a John Hughes film. Even the supposed good guys in "The Hills" come off as vaguely creepy: Matthias, a French musician in tight pants, is a menacing prospect for a quick Parisian fling.
But as far as I'm concerned, Lauren's true nemesis is Whitney, her co-worker at Teen Vogue. I never bought into the concept behind the comic novel "The Underminer" until I started watching this girl, a shameless career climber who always manages, with a friendly smile, to make Lauren look inadequate. When Lauren, who gets that Paris trip after all, ruins her borrowed ball gown by leaving it next to a curling iron - "I can't go to the ball without a gown," she wails - Whitney's faux sympathy smacks of superiority. "Don't cry, it's OK, it's OK," she says unconvincingly, in monotone. She offers to call the man who loaned the dress, but only after voicing doom, in the Valley-girl dialect that is the series' language.
"The thing is," she says sweetly, "that we ruined one dress and I doubt he's like, 'Oh yeah, let me just . . ."
Thanks, pal. Still, when I mentioned my distaste to my Suffolk friends, they were shocked. Whitney has a solid fan base among the "Hills" faithful, who view her unvarnished self-centeredness as something to admire. On one of MTV's "Hills"-related blogs, one poster summed up the appeal: "THIS GIRL IS SO AMBITIOUS SHE'S SO COOL SHE'S REALLY FOCUSED ON HER FUTURE AND NOT DRAMA."
Maybe fortunes will turn for Whitney, who left Teen Vogue this season to take a job with a stylist who seems unashamed to be the Boss From Hell. But maybe Whitney will only learn that treating others badly gets you far. That's the other sad message about this show: It's a portrait of frenemies, not friends. The Lauren-Heidi rift has been the center of "The Hills," but none of Lauren's replacement friends has done much better by her. Audrina, her roommate, thinks it's a good idea to call her in Paris - where Lauren is struggling to impress her bosses - to report that she spotted Lauren's sort-of boyfriend canoodling with another girl.
Maybe this is what passes for aspirational these days. The youngest fans of "The Hills" are likely recent graduates of "Hannah Montana," the Disney Channel sitcom about a music superstar who takes pains to preserve her ordinary life and her mostly-grounded friends. "The Hills" offers that fantasy in reverse: A girl whose real life is loaded with glamour is secretly all alone.
