The Hills: Fake Hair, Real Drama

04_g.jpgI have a lot of friends that – unlike perfect little me – have some flaws. One of my friends is a huge slut. Another of my friends is impossible to argue with. Yet, they are my best friends so I look past their minor flaws and enjoy them for the amazing friends/wing women/shopping partners a girl can ask for.

I suppose I feel the same way about the people over at MTV.

My love for The Hills is so deep that, just like with my skanky friend, I will look past the blatantly obvious and totally unrealistic moments and dive into the deep depths of drama that fill the 30 minute (actually, 12 minutes after the extended MTV commercial breaks) episodes each week.

This week was no different. Despite the fact that:

a) Heidi decided to move in with Spencer, packed all her shit, rented a U-Haul and settled in with her man all in one day

b) Audrina decided to move in with LC, packed all her shit, unpacked most of her shit and settled in with Lauren and a pizza and champagne dinner all in one day

c) We caught a perfect reflection of Heidi in the side view mirror of the UHaul as she dramatically pulled away from the Villas with her (douche-baggy) man – I still loved every. last. second. Read More »


The Hills: Falls, Falling Outs, and an Overacheiver from NY

mtvthehills.jpgOMG. I know I am a little slow on the uptake, but due to a giganto exam I had to spend Monday night in the library instead of on my couch with Lauren, Heidi and Whitney. Thankfully, my good friend TiVO was there in my time of need and I finally got to watch the drama unfold on this week’s episode of The Hills.

And it was AMAZING – especially without having to sit through MTV’s 3.5 minute commercial breaks.

Let me just begin with the biggest and most awesome part of the whole show: Whitney’s modeling experience. I bet you think I am going to talk about her plummet down the stairs, but you are wrong. Mostly because I tend to fall all the time, so I really feel for the girl. No, the part that really made me weak in the knees/warm all over was the part where Ms. Intern-NYC looked all pissy when she wasn’t the hottest girl on the stage (which, mind you, is not hard considering how weird looking she is). It is not like I hate the girl, I just think she should be working as a school librarian/planting flowers instead of working for Teen Vogue. Read More »


Recap: The Hills

34180hills_group.jpgMonday’s aren’t my favorite day of the week for many reasons:

1) it’s Monday

2) my favorite bar cancelled their $1 pitcher night

3) I am always totally hung over from the weekend

Yet, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. At 10:00pm. On MTV.

And it is called, The Hills.

While my own life reflects Lauren’s in many ways (my name is Lauren…oh wait, that’s it) it is nice to avoid the ridiculous drama in my own life and kick back and watch it in hers. And boy does it.

This season has put the “rama” in drama. But as good as the entire season has been, last night really did it for me. Namely, Lauren’s surprise birthday party.

Now, I totally hate Heidi, but I really had to give it to her for throwing Lauren the bomb.com surprise party for her 21st birthday. And the best moment of the night? Definitely Spencer’s speech. Read More »
