The Hills Travel: Think Really Hard Before You Do Something Stupid

5/13/2008 at 9:15 AM
Tags: , , , , (all tags)

Previously on "The Hills": Heidi went to Vegas for work, Audrina went to Justinbobby to solve her roommate drama and Spencer went nowhere fast!

At the end of the first season of "The Hills," LC faced a decision: Intern in Paris for the summer or live in a beach house with bad-behaving boyfriend Jason? We all know how that ended up, but apparently Heidi wasn't watching the show then despite being on it. Last night she faced the same choice: Get in good with her job by staying in Las Vegas with her bosses or head back to Los Angeles with Spencer after he ham-handedly came to fetch her?

She chose Spencer. God, Heidi, we were so proud of you last week, and you totally blew it. Spencer had the audacity to interrupt her during a business meeting at the Palazzo to whine, "We need to be together," after using his own sister Stephanie as a pawn to get details on where Heidi was working! Apparently, some girls go for that. Blech. Whatever.

Meanwhile, back at the Chatheau...

Sienna Miller Uses Carry-on as Weapon

Tags: , , , (all tags)

There are a lot of dangerous things you can no longer take aboard airplanes--knives, box cutters, full-size bottles of shampoo--but there's no edict against packing a really, really heavy carry-on bag. So when Sienna Miller caught some paparazzi chasing after her at LAX, she did the first thing she could think of: She swung at them with her pink Marc Jacobs bag. Yes, really.

According to witnesses, she did hit a guy but didn't injure him, making enough of a stir for airport security to step in. But we predict the $1,295 bag will become the next It accessory for aggressive celebs, because growing Hulk muscles is hell on designer clothes.

Got Time to Kill on a Sunday Near LAX This Summer?

Where: 6101 W. Century Blvd [map], Los Angeles, CA, United States, 90045

Then you might be interested in heading on over to the Sheraton Gateway LAX Hotel. The hotel is kicking off JetSet Sundays on May 25, a weekly poolside event that will last through the summer.

The hotel's executive chef has put together an exotic sort of menu with Brazilian steak sandwiches and grilled eggplants with sesame and soy, so don't come looking for your standby faves of hot dogs and burgers. (There won't be any bocce bellas there, either.)

However, there will be a Good Humor truck serving ice cream bars and cones. And don't forget about the drinks. Since the hotel is located near the airport, drinks are airline-inspired...

The Hills Travel: I'm Just Not Cool Enough to, Like, Hang with Bands

5/06/2008 at 9:15 AM
Tags: , , , , (all tags)

Previously on The Hills: Lauren can barely talk to Audrina now that she lives all the way over in the guesthouse; Heidi and Spencer fail to resolve anything.

Hey, is it Opposite Week on "The Hills"? Because things are just all mixed up! Lauren was a background player this week and Audrina was in the foreground? Lo was mean and Heidi was sensible? At least Spencer still acted like a jerk, reassuring us that it was just a temporary madness.

With her personal life a mess, Heidi goes to her boss and basically asks for him to give her as much as work as possible, "including travel and relocating." Please, Brent, send me away!

Stephanie Pratt attempts to dissuade her by saying, and we kid you not, "You [and Spencer] are perfect for each other." It doesn't work. She's off to Vegas to help Bolthouse open their Nevada extension of the club Hyde in the Sahara casino. Her boss's boss Sam Nazarian asks, "Is your boyfriend going to lose his mind when he finds out you're in Vegas?" Find out, after the jump!

Shia LaBeouf's Cold-Plane Defense

Tags: , , , , (all tags)

"Transformers" actor Shia LaBeouf rocked a '90s flannel, a '70s concert T-shirt, a space-age rolling bag and a nineteenth-century doctor's bag at LAX yesterday. Hopefully he'll be more uniformly packed for his role as Indiana Jones' sidekick in their quest for the Crystal Skull.

LaBeouf just wrapped filming the thriller "Eagle Eye," about a man framed as a terrorist, in Southern California. Next he's switching coasts for a short film directed by Shekhar Kapur ("Elizabeth: The Golden Age") that will be part of "New York, I Love You" with John Hurt and Julie Christie.

The Hills Travel: I Never Drove Too Crazy, I Had Precious Cargo

4/29/2008 at 9:15 AM
Tags: , , , , , (all tags)

Previously, on "The Hills": LC and Heidi circled each other like sharks; JustinBobby returned and Lauren and Lo reluctantly decided to get a house with Audrina.

If "The Hills" were the soap opera it so badly wants to be, this would be the week that the original cast member returned to fireworks and high drama. Our returning champion is Stephen, whom fans of "Laguna Beach" will recognize as Lauren's best friend, then love interest, then... what? Well, he's alive! And he's still cute.

He's a guest at the housewarming party LC, Lo and Audrina throw for their new DELUXE digs. There's even a guest house, where Audrina lives and into which she has presumably been sneaking JustinBobby when the other girls are sleeping.

Someone who doesn't show? Stephanie, who makes a point of letting Heidi know beforehand that she's thinking of going, which leads to Heidi guilt-tripping her into staying in and watching a movie. Bummer, man! It's hard being She-Pratt.

Lo is delighted that Stephen's here: "That melts my little black heart!" Well, ours too. But what happens when the former golden couple of Laguna go to dinner? Find out after the jump.

2008 NBA Playoffs Travel: Celebrities Flock to the Staples Center

Where: 1111 S Figueroa St. [map], Los Angeles, ca, United States

It's that time of the year again. You know, when NBA ballers actually start playing up to their potential--and their mega-sized paychecks--in the quest for the blinged-out championship ring.

And when the NBA playoffs kick into high gear, so do the celebrities who score courtside seats to see their favorite hometown boys take the court.

We were lucky (unlucky?) enough to get prime seats at the Staples Center for the first game of the series between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets. The Lakers always have a celeb crowd and Kobe Bryant is practically a god to deluded Angelenos, but the playoffs really kick the pretty people into high gear.

The Hills Travel: He Didn't Burp at All!

Previously on "The Hills": Heidi and Spencer failed to break up while LC left the suede-y womb of Teen Vogue for a slap on the tush from Kelly Cutrone in fashion PR. (Oh, and surprise, she took the job right away!)

This screenshot from last night's episode of "The Hills" will certainly take its place in history alongside the photo of FDR and Stalin at Yalta. LC and Heidi sitting at the same table at a club... and not killing each other? Could such a summit happen in our time?

Don't fret, avid "Hills" viewers; since they technically didn't speak, there will still be time for a tearful reunion before the end of the season. After the jump, the explanation for this bizarre and off-putting scene.
