The Hills

[colourmefashion]

shes too dressed up for a casual walk in the park.. shows just how staged they really are

AS if the "reality show" disaster of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt couldn't get any more ridiculous, the fame-hungry duo of "The Hills" is now in talks with MTV to hawk its nuptials to the network for a "Newlyweds"-type series.
Pratt, Montag's "manager" and fiancé, was overheard at the Kobe Club on Tuesday night pitching the show to MTV programming honcho 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," we're told.
According to our source, Pratt was "suggesting the show go through the whole lead-up to the wedding . . . finding a wedding planner, hunting for a dress designer, and all the drama that would be part of their wedding plans."
We're told, "The show would be a mix of 'The Hills' meets 'Newlyweds.' " And though the source insists DiSanto was relatively stone-faced during Pratt's pitch, network insiders revealed to Page Six that "Heidi and Spencer definitely have a deal in the works with MTV."
The source added, "The cast of 'The Hills,' separately or individually, is a home run. It's their highest-rated show, so everyone wants a piece of it. MTV isn't obsessed with the idea, but they'd be crazy not to do it."
Meanwhile, Pratt and Montag are continuing to shill fallback plans - like Montag's career in music and fashion - all over town.
They promoted Montag's cheesy new clothing line, Heidiwood, by being photographed in her designs and rubbing elbows with MTV execs. The bleach-blond couple was spotted "talking business points" over dinner at Bar Blanc with Epic Records President Charlie Walk (who is also in talks with MTV for two music shows) and "Access Hollywood" maven Maria Menounos Wednesday night.
Pratt and Montag are currently staying at the Plaza, a paparazzi magnet, and, "they've been calling the photographers on themselves everywhere they go," said a source.
Thankfully, they're heading back for the Hollywood Hills today.

I would not be suprised if DiSanto caves in and gives them their own show. Brody and Frankie have been confirmed their own spin off. I say give them their own show... I doubt they will survive because both of them are so unlikable. The Hills will be fine for about 1-2 more seasons (though Lauren said she will not do a season 5) since LC, Lo and Whitney are very likeable and Lauren has a sizable fan base. Plus, the addition of Cutrone and PR brings a dimension to the show, frankly Teen Vogue could never have done.

All of these shows will fail...Brody/Frankie and Heidi/Spencer. It just won't work because they all are really really bland personalities. For some reason The Hills works with just the right mix but honestly they could all be replaced with much more interesting people, all the show really needs is Lauren and maybe Whitney because the work aspect if very interesting...

Lauren isn't exactly miss personality either but she translates really well on TV and to the public. Girls, especially, believe in her story...the rest of the "cast", not so much...

i agree with everything you've said.....
i thnik that brody's and frankie spin off will not be very good, 'cause it willl obviously be a male version of the hills, a lot less juicy...
about heidi and spencer's...

 

[SHSH]

A brody and frankie spin off? No that will not work, Heidi and spencer, looool do me a favour. Spencer is such a creepy guy he literally has issues he needs to sort out he loves drama a bit too much. Im glad whitney and lauren left teen vogue and got into the Peoples Revolution its getting so much better because of that and more Fashion focused.

No Lauren Conrad? Spencer would have nothing to do but b*tch about lc his show would be baseless without her. She is the lifeblood of their fame.

Oh and btw, you can tell they are in the money now haha, there was nothing wrong with heidi before the plastic surgery her nose was fine it was so unnecessary she needs to stop all that. I actually like heidi but she needs to ditch spencer he is a sucky person.

 

[rachyroo]

Does anyone remember Spencer & Brody in Princes of Malibu, I found it really funny.....but Spencer was just as annoying. I'd like to see Brody in another show.

 

[Meg]

yeah I think Lauren is really likable. She is a typical 'every girl'. She's nice, sometimes she's taken advantage of, she likes guys who don't like her back, sometimes she gets the guy she wants, and she tries to work hard (or at least portray it that way). In many ways I think she sort of represents a bizarre sort of American fantasy/myth that is also played out on other shows. Anyway, maybe I'm just focusing too much on my finals right now and reading too much into it......

But how awkward was tonights episode? I don't know wtf is doing their editing at the moment but they need their old person back. Every episode this season has come off terribly staged and awkward. I mean the Hills has had it's super awkward moments in the past but they've always broken it up with fun and flirty scenes. Now it's just awkwardness at a club, awkwardness the next morning, awkwardness at lunch. The whole Audrina-house thing was just AWKWARD central. Plus Lauren was really grating this episode, creating a big scene at the club. My only hope for the future is they show them house hunting. I love real estate

 

[pointup]

^ i remember that show it wasn't so bad, ok yeah it really was. hahaha.

oh and Meg, I seriously was almost uncomfortable watching all the awkwardness

 

[FASHIONLOVA]

who are they kidding with heidi and spencer break up thing???
all we see is pix of them together ALL THE TIME. am starting to not like the hills anymore

 

[lady B]

Some thoughts on the new episode :

- J-Bob is hot

- Lo is just so great I love her " Well maybe she'll bring Heidi ..."
Lauren : ""
Audrina :""
That was the funniest moment of this season

- Spencer made me laugh too,I love his ironic mood.Poor him,he must one bored man.I feel bad

- I agree with Meg,when she say that there's way too much "akward" moment.So I have nothing else to say about that.

- I don't want Stephen back.

- This episode was a boring

 

[mundodabolsa]

boring is right, I feel like they're trying really hard to force a story out of this whole heidi/stephanie/lauren/spencer drama. I felt like this episode was just a repeat of the same old, same old.

 

[BonjourTristesse]

^ i remember that show it wasn't so bad, ok yeah it really was. hahaha.

oh and Meg, I seriously was almost uncomfortable watching all the awkwardness

God I'm so glad you girls felt like that too..
I just kept wondering "why is this so awkward????"

why???

Fashionistas review

10 Questions for The Hills...

Apr 22, 2008 @ 9:00am

10. So did Lauren just like text Lisa Love to say she's quitting?
9. Audrina wears dresses? Phillip Lim ones?
8. What the hell is a "computer class"?
7. Heidi - you really need another "girls' night"? Don't these usually end in embarrassment for you?
6. Is Lauren wearing a knuckle ring? For her first post-fight scene with Heidi? And Justin Bobby? (And is that a kids' bed sheet wrapped around her chest?)
5. "Oh my gosh, here comes Justin" - read from a teleprompter?
4. Oh Heidi, fake nails? Dark red? Oof - but we guess it's just another one for the list.
3. Could Justin Bobby care less about the whole Heidi-Lauren backstory? Guess he really wants to get Audrina on the bike...
2. Does Lo secretly hate Audrina?
1. Has Spencer kind of retired from the show? Because he's actually coming across as semi-sage compared to everyone else.

I think i may save this episode and watch gossip girl today instead if spencer is coming across as normal!

 

[Meg]

yeah I literally thought during that scene where Heidi comes in and meets him like actually Spencer's not a bad actor....that was a funny scene. when he was like 'excuse me for not caring' it made me laugh! I hated myself for it afterward but it was good at the time!

 

[Zposen]

I just kept wondering "why is this so awkward????"

why???

Because it is staged, fake and most of the casts are poor actors. The three girls moved into their apartment I think sometimes in Feb, but the lunch scene at the end had Audrina wearing the blue J brand jeans with the black top from the same candid pics a few weeks ago. The timeline of the show make no sense.

I don't want Stephen back.

Me neither, but he is the lesser of the 3 evils which includes Jason and Brody. There are only 3 guys in the planet for LC and she just rotates them. I am actually looking forward to seeing Stephen because he is cute and we have not seen him in a long time. Of course the prospect of them having a relationship is nonexistant, so it just going to be another guy that walks all over Lauren (how many times have this storyline been used). I know Carrie Bradshaw had man problem in SATC but come on with this MTV.

I feel like the old Hills is gone. The storylines are so manufactured and not fun anymore. I wish there were more Whitney and Lauren scenes at PR...
MTV needs to shoot for a good 6-7 months before putting out season 4. Season 1 and 2 were great, S3 had its moment but this extended season is crap IMO

 

[Candy_lux]

i thought the new episodes were from season 4!!
did they extend season 3??

 

[brianna]

yes, the current episodes are still part of season 3. they are filming season 4 though and i read that it will debut in august.

i thought the new episodes were from season 4!!
did they extend season 3??

 

[VivaciousCohen]

The show to me, more than anything, seems to be about a lot of beauty shots.. everyone gets their time for closeups and they all always looks so incredibly gorgeous. Well, minus Spencer that is.

 

[Candy_lux]

thanks brianna!!

NY magazine recap Epi 25

Everyone Fights on ‘The Hills,’ But Justin Bobby's Back

Hidden in the shadows, it's the J.B., Fedora Edition.Photo: Courtesy of MTV

We open with Whitney and Lauren folding clothes together at People’s Revolution, where they work together. Aw, it’s just like our favorite song from The Muppets Take Manhattan! “Together again. Gee, it's good to be together again!” And Whitney can be long-haired Janice, and Lauren is Miss Piggy. (C'mon, you were thinking it.) They discuss how Lauren is mad that Audrina let Heidi into their apartment, and Lauren, as always, manages to make her selfishness sound like martyrdom: “It’s both of our homes. At the same time, it’s my home as well, and I don’t want people in there that I don’t get along with!” Ohhhh, can we feel the rain on our skin tonight!
The girls are going out to Goa, and Audrina’s picking out clothes with Lo and Lauren. Audrina feels like she’s worn everything in her closet already, and, by everything, she means every single shirt that plunges enough to show us an uncomfortably large amount of her never-ending cleavage. Put them away, Audrina! Please! Lauren informs Audrina that the Philip Lim dress she has in green now comes in white. Good to know, L.C.! Is the purpose of this scene to show that Lauren knows something about fashion? We’ve seen her clothing line; there’s no fooling us, gang. And now Lauren announces that she got an A+ in computer class! Since she never seemed to go, never did her work, and she talked to Stephanie throughout the lectures, we’re going to guess that maybe the computer class requirement in fashion school is a joke. Don’t worry, Lauren, we took Astronomy for a math credit — we’re not judging. Lo associates the computer class with Stephanie and wonders if maybe she’ll be coming out with them tonight and bringing Heidi. This leaves Lauren and Audrina staring awkwardly into space, as they lately have very different opinions on Heidi. Roommate tension!
We cut to Stephanie and Heidi, who are also picking out clothes for the evening. Oh, the irony. Two groups of girls who hate each other so much, yet are so, so similar. Heidi tells Stephanie that she finally wants to have a girls' night out. Wait, hasn’t Heidi had, like, twelve girls' nights out in the past three episodes? Whatever: Heidi thinks that maybe things between her and Lauren will be okay now that she’s not with Spencer, and, um, we have a feeling that Lauren’s still going to hate Heidi, regardless. Meanwhile, Stephanie has an unfortunately prominent middle part in this scene, and it’s distracting us from Heidi’s stupidity. We're not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
We transition to the club: Stephanie and Heidi are sitting in one area, and Lauren, Lo, and Audrina are in another. We're prepared for a showdown, BUT WAIT! Stephanie (or is it Heidi?) sees JUSTIN BOBBY at the bar! Lauren comes back from the bathroom and tells Audrina this story, word for word:

I totally, like, bumped into a guy over there, and I thought that I knew him and I was like, "Hey," and he was like, "Hey," and I was like, "I don’t know you!”​

What the hell? Nevertheless, Audrina bursts out laughing at this, and it’s true that if Audrina’s good for one thing, it’s being a good audience. Girl will laugh at ANYTHING. Audrina learns about the Justin Bobby sighting and is upset by the news, as she’s still trying to get over him (really, Audrina? Really?). Meanwhile, Lauren sees Heidi at Audrina's table and glares. She and Lo go back there and sit down, and it’s really tense. Then Heidi says to Audrina, “I think I’m going to go, it’s pretty clear Lauren doesn’t want to be friends with you.” And, WHAT! That is the best slip of the tongue we’ve ever heard! Heidi obviously meant that Lauren doesn’t want to be friend with her, but she just brilliantly planted the seed inside Audrina’s head that Lauren hates her. (Which she actually does, but that’s beside the point.) And then, wait for it, people…JUSTIN BOBBY APPROACHES THE GIRLS! In a fedora! He sits down and starts chatting with Heidi and Audrina; Lauren and Lo finally leave, annoyed.

Then there’s some worthless scene with Heidi and Stephanie, in which they decide that things are still weird with Lauren. Well, duh. Lo and Lauren talk more about living together when Lauren’s lease is up, and it’s clear that Lo doesn’t want Audrina to live with them. Ha, Lo! You’re the best.
Audrina and Justin Bobby go on a date to "catch up," and by "catch up," we mean "catch STDs." They are both just as idiotic as ever, and J.B. talks about how he doesn’t shower. Then they, presumably, go off to have sex. Afterwards, Audrina and Lauren have a not-so-friendly recap of Audrina’s date, in which Lauren judges and Audrina…does whatever Audrina always does (nothing?). Audrina tells Lauren that it’s great to have Heidi back as a friend, and Lauren seems stung by this.
Then Spencer, in his first appearance of the episode, acts douche-y while sitting on Stephanie’s couch! Big surprise.
Okay, finally finishing up, we end at a lunch with Lo and Lauren, in which they talk **** about not wanting Audrina move in with them. Lauren is wearing a horrible pink hat, and Lo is wearing a horrible white headband. In the middle of their ****-talking, Audrina shows up to the lunch. Who knew she was invited! Tricky Hills producers. And then what ensues is the most painful scene we've ever witnessed on this show: First, Lo attacks Audrina about Justin Bobby. Then, out of nowhere, they tell her they’ve already been looking for a house and ask her if she wants to live with them, but in a way in which it’s clear that they don’t want her to. This is so, so mean. Lo, we take back that you’re the best — you are a b*tch! Audrina says she’s "open" to living with them, but her eyes are dead. We just want to cry and cry for her. You can live with us, Audrina! Sad.

Next week, Stephen Coletti! He’s not looking as good as he did in high school, but he’s still pretty damn hot.
And now, it's time for our Unequivocal Hills Reality Index:
Faker than Heidi's boobs:
• Heidi’s "hope" to reconcile with Lauren. The Heid-ster knows they’re never going to be friends, but she has to keep her reality-TV-star dreams alive, somehow.
• Lauren’s A+ in computer class. Lauren has never gotten an A+ in anything, ever.
• Justin Bobby just happening to show up.
As real as Lauren is awkward:
• Lo’s bitchiness; all real. Okay, we admit, Audrina is really, really stupid. But give the poor girl a break! She can’t fight back!
• Spencer’s indolence. We actually believe that he hasn’t gotten up from Stephanie’s couch for three weeks. Like, not even to go to the bathroom.
• Justin Bobby’s hat.
