'The Hills' Have Lies
Love 'The Hills'... but question "the facts"? We grabbed some highlights from MTV's 'Laguna Beach' spin-off to gauge their fauxbulosity, with 1 being totally boring, plausable, and 10 being the very essense of cinema veri-fake style - Whitney Pastorek
THE JOB
"Reality" Lauren nervously interviews for an internship at Teen Vogue, then sits anxiously by the phone, wondering if she got the job. Reality For one thing, no way Teen Vogue turns down another free promotion. For another, Lauren is currently on the cover of the magazine Faux Fabulosity 9
THE BOSS
"Reality" One of Lauren's bosses is a photogenic "West Coast contributor" named Blaine. Reality Turns out Blaine Zuckerman does have a contract with the magazine, but we doubt this glorified freelancer is in a position to order anyone around - especially a cover girl Faux Fabulosity 3
THE PARTY
"Reality" Roomate Heidi and her scenester-wannabe posse crash Teen Vogue's Young Hollywood party where Lauren is working. Reality Lauren's "job" is to gaurd some chairs. And it's not crashing if you know the girl at the door with the clipboard. Nice Try Faux Fabulosity 2
THE NIGHTLIFE
"Reality" Lauren, Heidi, and their scenester-wannebe posse get into a hot L.A. nightlub, despite the velvet-rope line. Reality If our math is correct, Lauren and Heidi are both 19 years old. Perhaps the gals have fake IDs that list their birth dates as "famous" Faux Fabulosity 7
THE BOYS
"Reality" Heidi has a fight with her boyfriend, Jordan; the next day, he and his buddy Brian take time out to shoot hoops and oppenly talk about their feelings. Reality Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Boys do not openly talk about their feelings! Faux Fabulosity 10
