Pot meet Kettle: Paris Hilton disses The Hills

Duncan Riley — Sun, 31 May 2009 10:08:58 +0000

Proving again that it takes trash to know trash, Paris Hilton has lashed out at the MTV reality series The Hills.

During an appearance at the FiFi Awards this week, Paris said her boyfriend Doug Reinhardt wouldn’t be back on the show, saying “The show is, like, so lame and fake. He doesn’t even want to be a part of it.” Doug was featured several times on The Hills during 2008 as Lauren Conrad’s sex buddy.

Hills regular Stephanie Pratt isn’t taking Paris’ attack lying down though, and has called on Paris to apologize. “Doug’s not even on the show, so I don’t even understand that,” Pratt said. “And in real life he is friends with those boys, so it’s not fake. I would never call her show dumb, so I think she should apologize.”

Doug isn’t exactly heading for the high road when it comes to future television appearances: he might not be returning to The Hills, but he has landed role on reality show Paris Hilton’s My New BFF season 2.

Whitney Port Is Way More Talented Than Lauren Conrad

Meieli Sawyer — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 04:24:54 +0000

Heidi Montag’s Anchor Blue “Heidiwood” Collection tanked this year (surprised?), and it’s clear that Lauren’s is hanging on by a thread (but it’s boring, and pretty much everyone agrees).

Whitney Port is just more interesting, though: she’s got a new show despite being the quietest Hills girl, and she picks way hotter guys. And guess what? Even though she graduated with a degree in Gender Studies and L.C. is the one who went to the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, her collection is kicking Lauren’s boring stuff to the curb already.

Whitney’s line is due to come out in 2009. Some of the stuff is still ugly, but no one’s perfect. Now we’ll have to see about the sales, because it looks like things will run at $300+. . .

Lauren Conrad Cares About Heidi Montag

Meieli Sawyer — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 20:37:01 +0000

Lauren Conrad still doesn’t hate Heidi Montag (maybe Audrina’s taken her place?) and US mag has revealed she was concerned about her after eloped with unpopular Spencer Pratt. Holly Montag, Heidi’s sister, said that she received a surprise phone call from Lauren on the day they all found out about the Mexican wedding, explaining that “She was just checking on everybody and making sure the family was OK.”

We’re pretty sure that Heidi’s mom is not doing well, but Holly seems to be bouncing back after crying on The Hills After Show when she realized that Heidi had been married days before. Holly added that “I think [Heidi] felt bad that she didn’t tell us right away, and we had to find out through other sources. But it was her choice, and we are all really supportive of whatever she decides to do.”

And then, being the awesome sister that she is, Holly said that she wanted to plan her sister’s big wedding ceremony. How can Holly even look at Spencer after he said so many horrible things to her?

Lauren Conrad’s Ex-Boyfriend Trades Up

Meieli Sawyer — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 20:41:42 +0000

Mr. “All Girls Are Shady” Doug Reinhardt, who is from recognizable his lame spot on The Hills (where he got spectacularly dumped by Lauren Conrad because he’s so boring!), has found another lady after months of bromancing his buds. His new girlfriend? Amanda Bynes, who was seen hanging out with him at Teddy’s during Thanksgiving weekend and looking smitten! According to TMZ, the Minor League player managed to woo Amanda after their chance encounter and they’re been making time for each other ever since.

Good luck, Amanda! This is going to be a change from the “Smartest Person on TV” and multi-millionaire ex-boyfriend Seth McFarlane, but Doug’s official website does declare him to be “a gentleman” with “breathtaking” charm. So you never know.

Shall we take bets on how it will last? I’m guessing 2 months max.

Audrina Patridge Bashes Lauren Conrad On Her Personal Blog

Meieli Sawyer — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 18:40:26 +0000

Did you watch The Hills last night? If not, let me break it down for you: Audrina thought that Lauren slept with Justin (remember that, way back when?), Lauren denied it, and Audrina avoided apologizing until she realized that she f’ed up. I thought that Audrina would have learned her lesson, but then she wrote a finger-pointing blog post today about the whole situation. Ceiling eyes does not know the meaning of “quit while you’re ahead”:

“Bottom line, Justin and Lauren treating me like I wasn’t worthy of an explanation was almost worse than the rumor itself, and it only got worse the harder I tried to get a genuine answer. Instead, I got screamed at and they both got super defensive. Let me just remind everyone that this rumor didn’t appear out of thin air, they were both at the same place at the same time, but apparently what was said to have happened never actually did.”

Imagine how embarrassing this will be a couple of years down the road, when she’s wondering what went wrong. Justin Bobby = not a keeper. That being said, L.C.’s best friend Lo and known Audrina-hater is so happy right now. If it was her birthday, she definitely got her wish.

The Hills to return for a fifth season

Duncan Riley — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 05:09:33 +0000

MTV reality series The Hills has been renewed for a 5th season.

The show documenting the life of Lauren Conrad and her friends in Los Angeles after Conrad’s move from Laguna Beach, California debuted back in 2006, and gave the world Lauren Conrad, Audrina Patridge, Heidi Montag and Whitney Port.

People got the scoop from Audrina Patridge: “There is going to be a fifth season. We just found out.”

“We have fun with each other and we’ve stuck it out this long, so we might as well do another one.”

“At one point, all of us were like, ‘No, we don’t want to do another season,’” she says. “I wanted to do more movies, and Whitney moved to New York and she’s doing her own spin-off. And Lauren’s dating [My Boys actor] Kyle [Howard] but he can’t be on the show because he’s on another show, so that makes it hard.”

Lauren Conrad Wants To Be Anonymous, It Helps That No One Cares

Meieli Sawyer — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 04:30:35 +0000

Lauren Conrad is such a diva, and I love that nobody even notices in New York besides the paparazzi. We are so jaded, and Page Six was happy to remind us about it in their “Get Over It” section. It turns out that when Lauren was called to desk to pick up her standby ticket in JFK, she totally freaked:

“LC pitched a fit, and was almost driven to tears because she thought people would start talking to her and bothering her. But no one even cared.”

The Hills is so over. Since Lauren’s trying to keep her boyfriend Kyle Howard off the show and stay out of the limelight, it’s just a matter of time before she escapes the drama herself and leaves it for Heidi and Spencer. Can’t say I blame her, although the attention has gone to her head!

Lauren Conrad Could Be “The Problem”

Meieli Sawyer — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 17:46:39 +0000

Finally someone said what I’ve been dying to hear about Lauren Conrad. If you take a look at The Hills, she’s got a revolving door of drama that shifts from Heidi to Spencer to Justin Bobby to Audrina to Doug to Stephanie Pratt to even her bestest friend Lauren “Lo” Bosworth. Has nobody told her to her face that “It’s not me, it’s you?” Well, David Letterman kind of stepped up to the plate.

When Lauren stopped by Letterman last night, she made the crucial error of saying that it wasn’t just Heidi Montag she was having problems with, but “a little bit of everyone.” Nice. Letterman countered by asking her “Who is it? Maybe you’re the problem.” Pause at 1:20 for the most uncomfortable look ever as she contemplates her response.

And then he kind of accidentally calls her an idiot. I can’t say I didn’t enjoy it, because it’s pretty rare that someone rags on LC– to her face, that is. The sheer novelty made me love it, especially when we get a dash of Brody insulting to go along with it!

Will L.C. Leave The Hills?

Meieli Sawyer — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 08:44:17 +0000

Will Lauren Conrad be exiting The Hills? It might be giving her a healthy paycheck, but she has also had so much personal drama on and off the show that she’s probably feeling woozy.

L.C. dished to extra on Tuesday, saying that “It’s coming to a point where I love this show so much, but I’m ready to kind of walk away. I’ve been doing it for five years now. Five years on TV is a really, really long time.” Of course she didn’t blame anyone in particular for her escape plans, but I think insidious Spidey treatment has finally gotten the best of her.

She alluded to other problems that The Hills– and all the media attention– has brought, saying that her friendships get tested through all the rumors:

“It makes it more difficult. It’s more difficult when not only everyone knows about your problems, but they make them worse because things escalate and things get twisted. It’s hard to have an actual friendship be torn apart in the media.”

I vote that L.C. keeps her day job and sucks it up. She’s a millionaire and famous. . . boo hoo.

The Hills Girls Patch It Up in the Workplace

Meieli Sawyer — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 03:47:21 +0000

And by “workplace,” I mean “club.” I was so excited to see Lauren Conrad flanked by Audrina Patridge and Lo Bosworth last night while they were filming The Hills– that means they’ve made up. Right?! For all of you who have watched the show or have read about it here, you know that things are never that simple.

Poor Audrina Patridge was puzzled last weekend when rumors circulated about her Hills co-star L.C. hooking up with her ex Justin-Bobby. Lauren promptly denied it and blamed it on Spencer. As you do. He denied having anything to do with it, of course, but I figured the girls would bond over their hatred of the guy.

Even though the two are currently filming The Hills and seem pretty amicable on camera, Audrina came onto “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” to talk about problems with Lauren. Here’s the short and sweet version:

“Audrina explained that she’d tried to talk to Lauren about what really happened with Justin and that Lauren had hung up on her. She also took issue with the fact that rather than speak to her directly about whatever did or didn’t happen, Lauren had chosen to speak to the tabloids.”

So most of what you see on The Hills isn’t real, because these girls are fighting on the sidelines for sure. First Heidi, then Spencer, then Brody, then Doug, and now Audrina? L.C.’s running out of friends to fight with! I’m sorry, but I think that L.C. might be the problem here.

Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag Might Make Up

Meieli Sawyer — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 21:44:15 +0000

I think Heidi’s getting bored of sitting around and taking pictures of herself and Spencer, so she’s back to making non-news about becoming friends with Lauren Conrad. *Sniff* She sounds lonely! Don’t you feel bad for her? Yeah, me neither.

Heidi is doing all of the talking, so we can assume that Lauren has no interest in making up. Heidi only mentioned that she’d like to, saying:

“Obviously I miss her, and she was my best friend for a really long time,” Montag said. “Hopefully one day we will be able to work through this and move on and patch some things up.”

Noooo! Who doesn’t think that Lauren should stay away? Show yourselves (and tell me why, please).

What I Learned from The Hills’ Season 4, Episode 7: Audrina Needs to Shut It

Meieli Sawyer — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 16:36:51 +0000

Lauren Conrad is the object of a lot of flack: you know, for getting jobs that maybe she doesn’t deserve, for having a bad attitude, and being a predictable dresser. Ahem. I may or may not agree, but no girl deserves what happened last night. I’m starting to slip into the Lauren Conrad camp after all. What is with all of her friends?

Here goes: Lauren goes to Italy, Stephanie Pratt spills to Audrina that she might want to date Lauren’s ex Doug (mistake), and then Audrina tells all of Lauren’s friends before she gets home (mistake mistake). What was she thinking? Oh, wait.

But what gets me is that Audrina doesn’t just tell concerned parties. She tells everyone she knows, and then brings it up again for good measure. She tells her co-workers, she tells Lo, and she tells Justin-Bobby, but worst of all, she tells Heidi and Spencer. Inexcusable! I am glad that Audrina just moved out, because she was probably a week away from getting kicked out.

Magically, Lo’s back to being the good guy again.

Is it wrong that I feel bad for Lauren?

Audrina Patridge: Actually Moving Out

Meieli Sawyer — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 17:04:06 +0000

Audrina’s moving out! This will comes as no surprise to anyone following The Drama. Has Lo been mean enough to actually pushed her out for good? Or has watching all the Dramz on the small screen helped Audrina realize on her own how insidious most of the people are with whom she associates?

With Whitney Port headed out on her own in New York, this could spell the end of The Hills! Well, not really, since there are plenty of spinoffs in the works and there’s no way that MTV wants to let go of this cash cow.

I’m not sure how I feel about an show dedicated to our favorite ceiling eyes, but at least she won’t be criticized for her “weird shows.”

What The Hills Taught Me (Season 4, Episode 3): Stephanie Looks Odd

Meieli Sawyer — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 00:45:50 +0000

Were you just totally, 100% happy with the fact that Lo didn’t make a surprise appearance in last night’s version of The Hills? At first I was like “What’s with The Hills?” and then I realized: my New Spencer was missing! And, come to think of it, so was Audrina. That was my favorite drama of the season so far, too.

Instead we were treated to terrible Spencer Pratt. Poor de-sistered Stephanie: she just wants to be friends with her own brother (even if that’s probably best left alone) and she wasn’t looking so good, either. Her face seems super-round, only emphasizing her deer-in-headlights expression, and I want to like her because she seems real (for The Hills, mind you). Unlike Whitney’s incredible good luck, great wardrobe, evil-b*tch boss taming, and magic guy-getting skills; what the F? Naked male models, surprise dates. . . lucky doesn’t begin to describe it.

At least my predictions came true: Lauren really is a terrible dater. I knew it.

Lauren Conrad to Guest-Star on CW’s Privileged

Meieli Sawyer — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:17:21 +0000

Usmagazine.com has dished that Lauren Conrad will be a guest on CW’s Privileged. Since she’s playing herself in the show, at least she wasn’t too taxed mastering her character when she filmed the guest spot yesterday! US continues:

“The 22-year-old will [...] attend a bash thrown by the show’s central characters, twins Rose (Lucy Kate Hale) and Sage (Ashley Newbrough), that gets out of control. The episode airs October 7.”

Lauren will also be guest-starring on ABC Family’s Greek, but for those looking forward to her upcoming roles, be warned: Conrad has admitted that “I’m not good at acting — I’m not going to pretend to be.”

Oldie-but-Goody: Lauren Conrad Rakes It In

Meieli Sawyer — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 21:05:52 +0000

The Hills salaries explained! I’ve always been curious how much Heidi and Spencer make, since they’re so flash and obviously Heidi’s (ahem) invested in herself quite a bit since the first episode.

According to an In Touch source, Lauren gets paid the most at $75,000 per episode, and “If you bring drama, you’ll get more money.” If that’s the case, Spencer should really be the one leading the pack, salary-wise!

However, the secret source revealed that “The only reason LC gets paid more than anyone else is because she demanded in her original contract that no one could ever get paid more than her.”

Well, I guess I’ll have to drum up some extra resentment since I’ll still be watching it tonight.

Things I’ve Learned from The Hills: Season 4, Episode 1

Meieli Sawyer — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 21:23:30 +0000

Heading on 21+ hours later, I’ve still got The Hills on the brain. I’ll spare you the details of how many times I’ve streamed and dissected the episode and the live after-show (so you don’t make fun of me), but here’s what I’ve got stuck in my craw post-Hills:

1. Lauren “Lo” Bosworth’s asymmetrical bang-fringe is out of control. Her part is so far over it looks like half her head is shaved.

2. Heidi and Spencer need to break up. I know it’s not going to happen, but since when can your boyfriend/fiance insult your sister (Hair Extension Holly) and get away with it? Guts he’s got, good manners not so much.

3. Speaking of rudeness, how could Lo insult Audrina Patridge to her face and then look like the victim just because Audrina says something assertive (for once)? “We’ll never be friends”? OMG. Not everyone’s passive-aggressive all the time. And look! Lo’s still defending herself.

Click Through for More of What I’ve Learned. . .

4. Lauren Conrad is an awkward dater. Why else would she invite love interest Doug out to Audrina Patridge’s guaranteed-to-be-awkward party? Lauren’s life is drama-rife already; couldn’t she have spared him?

5. Heidi Montag’s fabulous quotes continue. Last season it was “Old Water Under the Bridge.” Now it’s “You are, like, Early Bird. We are Late Birds.” Less improv, please– I never thought that I’d call for scripted Heidi, but that’s what she needs.

6. Despite #5, I like Heidi Montag a lot more now. She’s still skipping out on work, but she did it for her sister’s arrival yesterday. I thought that she was too self-absorbed to care. But there she is, bonding with her sister and even inviting her to move in with her and flesh-beard (Spencer).

7. It’s not the end of Justin-Bobby, from the looks of Season 4 Episode 2+ trailer. I feel your pain.

8. I hope that Whitney Port doesn’t disappear in this season. Yes, she has a new boyfriend, but I hope this season isn’t Lauren and Whitney acting “busy” while standing up in what looks like a slightly uncomfortable work environment. More lunching, please!

No idea what I’m talking about? I recommend you watch the hot mess that was Season 4: Episode 1.

Watch Out, Lauren Conrad: Heidi Montag Will Take Your Place

Meieli Sawyer — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 22:04:38 +0000

Perfectly timed with her new single “Overdosin’” (which is “about when you fall in love with someone, and you’re just overdosing off of their love”), Heidi Montag has taken the opportunity to tell PEOPLE exactly how much she’d like to rip that throne right out from under her Hills comrade L.C.. How comforting. I think this is why she’s not invited to the after parties anymore. Behold:

Montag: “I think that maybe Lauren is tired of [being on the show], but we’re just beginning.”
Pratt: “Sometimes the narrator has to throw their hate up on the wall and pass the mic. It’s my favorite show. I love it. The Hills season 10 is what I’m going for.”

DUH, Spencer-with-the-flesh-beard. It’s like the best meal ticket ever and your key to things like 12 million dollar houses.

If I were Lauren Conrad, I’d be a little scared. These two seem like the type to stop at nothing to get what they want (which is money, obviously).

Don’t forget that The Hills will be on tonight, folks! Not like MTV is letting me forget.

Lauren Conrad to Outfit the Emmies

Meieli Sawyer — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 19:30:01 +0000

Lauren Conrad is a lucky gal for having such an amazing agent. What she doesn’t have in talent, she makes up for in gumption: thanks to that and some awesome connections, we’re going to be seeing her at the Emmy Awards in September. Not only will Lauren get to be a presenter at the show, but she’s in charge of outfitting some of the models who hand out awards.

I just hope she comes up with something better than this. Does anyone have a master stylist to recommend to her? Heck, even friend and actual worker-bee Whitney Port could give her a hand.

Another Reason to Question Lauren Conrad’s “Fame”

Meieli Sawyer — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 19:54:19 +0000

How exciting– now Lauren Conrad’s “talent” is coming into question. Perhaps she’s not a real designer after all, and we can just stop with the charades. Be still my beating heart!

According to TMZ, Lauren’s collections have been primarily conceptualized by former Tart designer Sherri Roozrak-Wood, and even though that has been denied by the “‘real’” Sherri, TMZ also claims that someone heard L.C. saying that “she wished she knew how to sketch.” Lauren responded to the rumors in US, but it still has me wondering:

“I’ve been involved in this entire process, every single step of the way. I have wanted to be a fashion designer since I was a little girl. I grew up designing and sewing dresses for my barbie dolls, and the Lauren Conrad Collection has been my dream come true.”

I’m sort of enjoying this. You know what this means if the rumors are true, though– Heidi Montag will surface as the better designer of the two. Gag! I’m not sure if I dislike Lauren enough to wish that upon her.
