Season 5 of
The Hills (broken down into two parts) is 20 episodes. Audrina Patridge, master of the blank stare and phrase "um," is making $2 million this year. I will now roll my college degree up and beat myself to death with it. I think that's really the only proper response here.

The Hills star Audrina Patridge in Santa Monica (4/5)
A blind item from the New York Daily News this morning:
Which show keeps its dim-witted if ultra-popular "reality" stars peppy with Adderall supplied by a producer in handfuls between scenes? (Source)
This has to be The Hills, right? I don't mean for this to sound mean but those chicks are fucking stupid. OK I meant that to sound mean. I'm convinced I could get Audrina to at least blow me if I did that thing you do to babies where it looks like you're stealing their nose. "OK, OK, I'll do anything you want, just please give me my nose back!"

The Hills UK coming soon
TV is launching a British version of The Hills. Us Weekly sums up what they're looking for from applicants:
The network is seeking applicants between 18 and 21 years old who love being in front of the camera and are passionate followers of fashion, art and partying/clubbing. Wannabe stars should also have "striking looks" and an "aspirational lifestyle." (Source)
Thanks a fucking lot MTV. Like they don't already hate us enough over there. I hope this doesn't spawn a new wave of suicide attacks. Especially not against the MTV Networks building located at 2600 Colorado Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90404. I mean what would a guy like myself do without a show like Making the Band? Oh yeah, right, not watch it even more. My bad.

I didn't know Heidi Montag's dad was Richard Gere either
onday night's season premiere of The Hills was watched by 4.69 million people too many. Us Weekly explains:
The season premiere of The Hills Monday night was the highest rated episode of the series ever, according to MTV. With an average of 4.7 million viewers, the premiere was the most watched program across all of TV for viewers aged 12 to 34 and the highest rated cable telecast of 2008. An additional 1.8 million streams of the show were delivered on Tuesday by MTV.com. (Source)
Everyone said I was crazy when I built the bomb shelter under my place and started hoarding toilet paper. Sure it's been expensive installing the blast doors and hard-wiring the ventilation system, but it's clear now that my planning will undoubtedly pay off. Because if an episode of The Hills can be the highest rated cable show of the year, it can only mean one thing: Jesus is coming . . . soon.

The Hills casting call
If you've ever wanted to be on MTV's The Hills, first, shoot yourself, and second, you're in luck! MTV needs extras for a "private event" taking place on the show's season finale (rumored to be the wedding of Spencer and Heidi.)
You can check out MTV's original post on craigslist HERE and the pic I sent in with my application HERE. A screenshot of my email application is below (click for larger screenshot)

Heidi and Spencer at LAX
Remember in mid-August when I said MTV's The Hills is probably fake because of a restaurant scene shot in New York city where it took Lauren five takes to order dinner. Well "probably fake" just got upgraded to "definitely fake" after the scenes shot today at LAX. The above pics show Spencer dropping Heidi off earlier this afternoon. The below pics show Spencer picking up Heidi, uhhhh, earlier this afternoon. The couple changed their shirts but they're wearing the same pants and shoes in each scene. Surprise? Shock? Disbelief? Anger? Those are just a few of the emotions I might be feeling by right now if I had an I.Q. of less than 40.

First wrestling and now this: The Hills is scripted. I know, I know, but you need to compose yourself. This first day is gonna be the toughest but if we work together we can get through this ... Anyways, the show is in New York City this week shooting footage for the current season. Star Lauren Conrad was seen eating dinner last night at Da Silvano with three friends and a camera crew. An "irked diner" told the New York Post:
"It was clear that this show is not a reality show. They took five takes of Lauren ordering dinner. The film crew took over the outside eating area by setting up lights and cameras everywhere. They should go back to California." (Source)
Five takes? It took five takes to order dinner! F-I-V-E ... Is Lauren that retarded? "Lemme see, I'll have the spaghetti and meatballs with a side of garlic bread AH FUCK SHIT!" "Cut! Lauren, you know we can't we use that. Take two ... Action!" "Lemme see, I'll have the spaghetti and meatballs and I hate Jews." "CUT!"
