There's so much drama on the set of "The Hills" this month--but none of it has to do with the girls, the clubs or Kelly Cutrone. Neighbors of the house where LC, Lo and Audrina moved last season claim--gasp!--the girls don't actually live there!
Lauren picked out the $2.36 million house because she was tired of renting and wanted to live with friends. But locals say the girls are using the chatheau as a soundstage (a no-no in a residential area), leaving a lot of lights on and drawing the paparazzi onto a formerly quiet block.
MTV producers had promised all their equipment for shooting fit into one van which they could keep on the property. That appears to have been a whopping lie.
So if Audrina's moving out when season four premieres in August, will that be her actual apartment? Or just another set? We can hardly wait!
When we left off with this season of "The Hills," LC and Audrina were headed for trouble over a division in the Chatheau. Apparently they've patched that up, if this photo taken outside the Crown Bar in Los Angeles is any indication. (The place is a former gay dive turned celeb hot spot.) Ratings stunt, or BFFs forever?
Our pet theory is that LC will keep Audrina in her good graces so long as she wears those silly vests that flatter no one and make La Conrad look put together. What do you think?
Did you know according to recent reports, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have made some $3 million jointly from the sale of fake staged photos like this one? The on-and-off couple took Spencer's nieces to Cinderella's Castle and Splash Mountain complete with matching mouse ears.
(Aren't you glad you're catching up on their staged photo op at Disneyland for free on the Internet instead of shelling out to catch a glimpse of Heidi's "I Want More Privacy" T-shirt?)
"The Hills" is filming now and is slated to return in August 2008. Anyone else notice that the seasons are getting longer and closer together? It's like their lives don't count unless we can make fun of them!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Just days before footage would air of them heatedly discussing their "relationship vacation," Heidi and Spencer of "The Hills" were all smiles as they touched down at LAX (the airport, not the club). Is the show fake, or have they smoothed over their differences since it finished shooting? You decide.
We hope our service to Jaunted never mandates that we take a flight, long or short, wearing a glorified onesie such as Montag is sporting. Internet overlords, are you listening?
