I like the rolling stone cover, especially whitney and lauren though heidi looks completely out of place pouting like that considering the others are laughing..

Thanks for posting Luxxx. I think the RS cover is really cute. I just wish that Lauren & Whitney would have been looking towards the camera (more so Whitney than Lauren) but then again their form & expressions seem more genuine. Cute cover regardless.

OMG Luxx you rock (karma)
I love that cover,they all look great.I can't wait to read the article

Some thoughts on last night episode:

- J.Bob is still hot
I had the exact same reaction than Brody and Sexicano when I saw him.I was like "woooooow J.Bob is here"

- MTV's producers need to get rid of Audrina,I have the feeling that she is going to start talking bad behind Lauren's back.But I do think that it's not cool to send her live in the guest house.

- I'm glad that Lo moved in with them though,she looks like such an honest and amazing person.She was so cute when she say that she wishes Stephen and Lauren would get married

- The whole Lauren and Stephen was so so cute and touching.I'm glad that nothing happened though.The whole Stephen/Lauren thing belongs to the past so let's keep it that way.For once Lauren took a great decision.

- Stephanie has no personality.She's dumb.She didn't go to the party because Heidi didn't want to ? ...

- And finally,LoL at next week episode .... Spencer's coming back to the appartement because he has nowhere to go (x 10000)

 

[LUXXX]

I think the drama is more between Aurdina and Lo for some reason, which doesn't surprise me since Lo is such a b*tch and has some weird jealousy issues with Audrina. IMO, Aud is like the perfect roommate because she isn't all up in your face constantly, I could never live with Lo. I would die...

 

[harrietcamilla]

last night.

- yay for stephen
- why is audrina in the guest house? and why was she wearing a polo neck all the time!
- i wonder if audrina doesn't live with them anymore she was hardly welcome.
- eew at heidi's fake jealousy issues.
- and lauren looked really good at her housewarming in that dress
- and also for next week finally stephanie throws spencer out! it was about time

Are They For Real?

Why MTV's 'The Hills' is the Show You Love to Hate - or Hate to Love

By JASON GAYPosted May 15, 2008 11:00 AM




[SIZE=+1]I[/SIZE]t's a chilly spring night in Los Angeles when I arrive at Don Antonio's Mexican restaurant to join the End of Western Civilization for nachos and chicken enchiladas. The EOWC, of course, is Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, a.k.a. Speidi, the fabulously toxic power couple of The Hills — the real-ish MTV reality drama about L.A. twentysomethings praised as "the most influential show we've ever had" by MTV president of entertainment Brian Graden — and watching the fair-haired lovers stroll through their beloved Don Antonio's feels like seeing Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe walk into the Stork Club back in the day. That is, if Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe were, instead of a sports hero and a legendary sex symbol, the irresistible villains of a maddeningly addictive TV show in which nothing ever really happens.

We take seats at a dimly lit corner booth, and you can almost hear the text messages being tapped underneath nearby tables — omfg spencer n heidi r here!!! Spencer, 24, who's wearing a black Don Antonio's polo and a wispy blond goatee, rattles off a grande order without consulting the menu. Heidi, a 21-year-old mane of blond highlights dressed in a blue sweater and white sweatpants, tucks her tiny head into his shoulder.

"I wish I got to see what you saw today," Spencer says.

He's referring to this afternoon's cover photo shoot attended by Heidi and her three Hills castmates: Audrina Patridge, 22, Whitney Port, 23, and the show's protagonist, Lauren Conrad, 22, with whom Heidi has been engaged in an ugly feud. Once best friends and roommates, the two women have spent the past year and a half bickering back and forth in celebrity weeklies — a rift that, depending on whom you talk to, stems from either a Lauren sex-tape story that Spencer and Heidi leaked to the press (Lauren's version; they deny it), or Lauren's jealousy of Spencer and Heidi (their version; Lauren denies it), or Spencer's overall control-freakiness, or a cabal of genius MTV executives secretly pulling ratings/goosing strings behind a curtain. Whatever the case, the shoot was the first time Heidi and Lauren had been photographed, and not Photoshopped (as MTV has been forced to do), together in more than a year.

Heidi says that on her way to the shoot she thought it might be a scam. "I thought I was walking into Punk'd or getting killed or something," she says. "Heidi really wanted me there for backup," Spencer says. "She was like, 'This is a setup.' "

But the shoot happened — even though Perez Hilton, the celeblogger and Hills Boswell, loudly tipped his readers off to the Lauren-Heidi summit and paparazzi staked out the parking lot of the Culver City, California, photo studio. (A pap shot of the four Hills girls together, Spencer claims, could command up to $200,000.) Inside, as MTV publicists and show creator Adam DiVello nervously looked on, the atmosphere was cordial but chilly. Hills Kremlinologists studied cast interactions, but over the course of a nine-hour day, Lauren and Heidi never spoke to each other. "You can feel it," Whitney, The Hills' doe-eyed Switzerland ("I'm neutral"), told me at a quiet moment. "There's a separation."

Heidi is sanguine about the split. Lauren, after all, is why she's on The Hills
— Heidi was just a spitfire from the small ski town of Crested Butte, Colorado ("A seven-block town with one main street," says Heidi's mom, Darlene Egelhoff), when she met Lauren at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. "We were the only blondes in the class," Heidi recalls.
"We were such. Good. Friends," she says emphatically. "A part of me just wants to go up and be like, 'Hey, how are you?' But the other part of me is so mad. . . . It's like I'm the odd man out."

However awkward the Heidi-Lauren squabbling may be, it has been juicy business for The Hills. This spring's season premiere earned the show a record 3.9 million viewers — the highest-rated cable telecast of the year so far — with an estimated 5 million more views online. Graden believes The Hills is now a bigger franchise than other generation-definers like The Osbournes, TRL or Jackass.

"People love feuds," says Spencer, taking a chomp of quesadilla. "Who were Paris and Nicole before they weren't friends? That's when they became superstars. If Lauren and Heidi were friends, people wouldn't tune in."

Every rivalry needs its black hat, however, and Heidi, through Spencer, has eagerly, and perhaps too ingeniously, complied. The pair now operate, sometimes to the dismay of MTV handlers, like a MySpace edition of Bonnie and Clyde — courting reporters, vacuuming paparazzi attention, and deflecting Hills hype to outside projects like Heidi's Heidiwood clothing line and her would-be music career, not to mention her new nose and breasts ("It was the right thing for my life," she says unabashedly).

This winter, a homemade video Spencer shot of Heidi prancing on a beach to her dance single "Higher," groundbreaking only in its lack of self-awareness, quickly got more than 1 million Web hits. The pair engender eye-scorching animosity on the Internet, but in their minds, at least we're paying attention. "Good girls are so vanilla," Heidi says. Spencer is routinely referred to as "the most hated man on television" — but he wears the title like a badge ("Who is that person they always compare me to, on Dallas?" he asks).

"It's jealousy, man," Spencer says. "It's human. I'm jealous of Jay-Z, Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch. I feel for these people who wish they could be on reality television and not in their cubicles. You got to thank your haters."
"You have to understand, we have so many fans," Heidi says. "The haters are the ones who ask us for photos. The haters are the ones who are downloading songs." She looks out at the restaurant, which is packed. Don Antonio's has always been a popular joint, but since she and Spencer started eating here on The Hills, it's getting crazy, she says. "The world works on haters now."

LUXXX, thanks for posting RS cover. I thought Audrina and Lauren looked great but I am upset that we did not get a good view of Whitney. It was a cute cover nonetheless. I dont understand why Heidi has to try so hard... she usually ends up looking ridiculous.

[e-v-elina]

heidi looks... awful and big.

[Zposen]

These are the behind the scenes pics
All the girls have great bodies... contrary to popular belief, I dont think Heidi has a better body than the rest of them. She is just a bit skinnier but her boobs are out of proportion with the rest of her body.
Lauren and Whitney are seriously gorgeous and dont look too Socal in these pics. Audrina comes in at a close 3rd IMO.
Heidi always looks like she is trying hard... but failing... I finally see her resemblance to Chris Rocker

 

[LUXXX]

That photoshoot looks SO awkward...OMG

 

[Bellechloe]

i hate heidyy

 

[lady B]

I personally love everything about this photoshoot,it's just very girly and fresh
I think that they all look great and I don't see anything wrong with Heidi's boobies.They're big,that's for sure but it doesn't shock me that much.I do agree with Z,when she says that Heidi is trying hard .... that's my only problem.Other than that,I'm more than satisfied.

 

[KindlyCuddly]

I actually want to like Heidi, but I just can't. I understand the show portrays her negatively but I'm mostly annoyed by her non-hills activity.
