We open with Lauren asking less pretty Heidi for medical advice on hiccups, as if. Lauren gets a giant floral arrangement delivered to her from Jason. I’m all for a girl getting flowers, but the deal he sent her was huge, more like a “Congrats on your new Massage Parlour Opening” than a declaration of love. Lauren always looks bad at the Teen Vogue offices, have I mentioned that it is like the Seinfeld episode where the girl only looks pretty in the diner? Weird.

Cut to Heidi doing grunt work at Bolthouse. She gets piles of unglamorous work dumped on her, I love it. Lauren dodges another phone call from Jason, who asks her on a date. This should be fun. Apparently she gave in and they meet for dinner at an awkwardly romantic restaurant. Jason is not so good at the emotion expression, he stumbles through telling her he still cares about her. He actually said he was waiting for her to “calm down”, yeah that’s not a great thing to say to a girl. They stare longingly at one another…puke puke.

Brent Bolthouse decides to leave Heidi home from a cool Vegas weekend at the Palms because she is not 21, that is awesome. She is soo pissed I love it. Maybe he would have gotten her a fake ID if she were prettier.

Jason brings Lauren flowers at work. Lauren has to ask for a lunch break??? Did she just start yesterday? Whitney seems a little jealous of the love Lauren is being bestowed. Lunch is at a picturesque outdoor cafe overlooking an incredibly busy street. The awkwardness is wearing off, they’ll be back together in the next segment. More longing stares. Jason picks up the tab and begs for another date.

Heidi is back at work, whining about not getting to go to events and do cool stuff. She complains to someone named Elodie, one of the weirdest names I have ever heard, locked in the bathroom. She gives Heidi the pay your dues speech, Heidi is unconvinced.

Back with ugly Lauren at Teen Vogue. She and Whitney discuss she and Jason’s relationship, Lauren is soo giving him another chance. I guess it is worth it since he still liked her after seeing her in the horrible Vogue lighting.

Pool time with Heidi and Lauren and the Sidekick. Heidi seems genuinely concerned about Lauren hooking back up with Jason. It’s nice to see a less annoying Heidi. Back at Bolthouse with Heidi and her busy work. Brent asks her to order him lunch, just what she thought she would be doing when she quit fashion school no doubt. Let’s see if she got it right. Nope, she forgot the green drink. Her co-worker seems overjoyed at her failure. Phone call to Jordan and she is planning to quit, that Heidi…what an idiot.

Lauren and Jason go to the movies, no making out yet but I’m sure it is coming. The theater is empty, longing stares int he movie glow. Hugs goodbye lead to smacking, I totally called that!

I wonder if Heidi can make it through another day at work? If Lauren and Jason can make it through another episode???

We open with awkwardness at Chateux Over Privilege as Lauren gets ready for work and Heidi fantasizes about her dream job. She lives in lala land. Lauren complains about homework and less pretty Heidi worries about clothes, how appropriate.

At Teen Vogue Lauren gets called to Blaine’s office. Blaine is not so good at the reality show acting. He tells Lauren she has to deliver a dress to New York City Fashion Week. He tells her this as if she is being airlifted into a third world country with bags of rice. Lauren goes home to pack for the mission.

Cut to Audrina who gets a visit from Brian, she gives him a tour. Apparently, as a receptionist she can do whatever she wants. Lauren goes back home and tells Heidi about her NYC adventure. Heidi gives Lauren advice on what to where to the fashion show. I guess less pretty Heidi has lots of experience with this, clearly she is a fashion icon.

Gratuitous bikini scene with Audrina and Heidi. Audrina completely gets why Heidi quit school, she did it too. Audrina is the nice but dim girl on this show. Heidi is the not so nice and dumb girl, just so you know.

Lauren sleeps on the plane and actually takes Heidi’s advice and changes her clothes in the bathroom at the airport. Does anyone else think this is a little bit nutso? She is just the delivery girl.

Oooh, Heidi’s first day of work, I am sure it will be a disaster. I love that Heidi says she is so nervous, and Brent does not say, “oh don’t be nervous” he just ignores the comment. Heidi is shocked to learn the job is full time, oh the humanity. First task: stuffing envelopes. Bet old Heidi is loving this job.

Back in NYC Heidi delivers the garment and is told to return to LA that same night, awesome. Cue the sad music.

Bolthouse and Heidi is already whining to Lauren about her job. She’s so incredibly clueless. Lauren worries about the demands of Teen Vogue and school, is this foreshadowing for her to drop out too???

Heidi goes in to complain to Brent Bolthouse about working full time. She acts like a five year old. Some lady is in the office with him who looks like she is doing all she can not to punch Heidi in the face. Brent is clearly annoyed, he and no name lady share a look that says, “this chick is trouble, this is soo not worth the PR of being on MTV.”

Audrina and Brian are out on a date, he orders a girl drink. I kind of like Brian he is very complimentary and unassuming. Audrina wants to quit her job and work part time, take acting classes, like about a million other gals in LA. Audrina invites him in for a nightcap…hmmm.

Heidi and Jordan awake from their slumber, she is eating in bed again, gross. Jordan tells her to quit her job so she can lay in bed with him all day, smart move Heid. She does go to work. She is assigned the very glamorous job of getting Brent lunch.

Lauren arrives back at the apartment, looking haggard from her travels. Uh oh, phone call from the ex Jason who has moved to LA too. Fun times. Heidi Schedules her time into the computer, I don’t know why this is so important. Deep thoughts over the phone message with Lauren.

To recap, Lauren got a cool job a Teen Vogue last episode. She had to work at one of their parties and less-pretty Heidi weasled her way in, caused a scene and got Lauren in trouble. How forgiving Lauren will be and how big the trouble is remains to be seen.

We open with Lauren and Heidi discussing clothes (shocking) at over privileged girl chateaux (aka their apartment). Lauren complains to Heidi about getting scolded at the Teen Vogue party, Heidi sort of agrees not to cause any more trouble. Cool intro music.

Whitney, looking much cooler than her first day at Teen Vogue, and Lauren discuss the party debacle. Whitney calls Heidi irresponsible…ya think?

Jordan and Brian play basketball and talk about sex and threesomes. This conversation is really contrived, they need better actors for the boyfriend parts.

Back at work Heidi gets called in to see Cruella DeLisa Love. She is very unhappy about Heidi’s drunken behavior. Lauren claims she has no idea who let them in, as if. Cruella DeLisa tells her to behave. This was not as bad as I expected. Whitney and Lauren discuss it as if it was more scary than it was, the are sooo relieved to still have jobs.

Cut to Heidi sitting by the pool, apparently all she ever does. She makes plans with Audrina, who actually has a job, to go out that evening, I’m sure she will find someone other than Jordan to hook up with. The gang feigns fun at the club. Brian talks about his new acting gig and flirts with Audrina. Heidi disappears. Somehow she got an interview with some guy who owns Bolthouse, a party planning guy. I wonder how many sexual favors she had to do to get that interview.

Lauren laments Heidi’s plan to stay out until close on a school night…ooooh bad girl. First day of school, Heidi is planning to skip class-good plan less pretty friend.

Cut to Brian and Jordan’s gross apartment. Brian wants to hang out with Audrina. Jordan makes arrangements with Heidi who calls Audrina and tells her. Audrina plays coy, as if she’s a little less slutty than Heidi.

Lauren and Heidi hang out in the ultra cool lounge at fashion school. Heidi is playing solitaire and has missed her first Art class. She calls Art, “really lame”-I think she may have enrolled at the wrong school.

Heidi and Jordan meet at a cafe and don’t eat anything. Heidi says she hates school and it is not for her. Jordan tells her to quit, what a great influence this douche is.

Back at over privilege villas Heidi tells Lauren that if she gets the job at Bolthouse she is going to quit school. This stresses Lauren out. Heidi is a big dumbhead. She is eating toast in bed, gross.

Whitney and Lauren are at work. They both look like crap. Frizzy hair, no lipstick, they look tired. I guess they don’t get fashion advice when Cruella DeLisa is out of town. Lauren and Whitney make fun of Heidi’s cluelessness.

Interview time for Heidi with Brent Bolthouse. Heidi gives one textbook answer to Brent. Then he said he hates drama, Heidi tries to agree, we all know she loves it. Heidi gets the job, Lauren pretends to be excited. She makes fun of her for being excited about a lunch break and then hangs up on Heidi and breaks into a chorus of Fashion School drop out. Who thinks this might be the worst decision Heidi has ever made? Who thinks she will screw it up big time by letting that doofus boyfriend of hers into an event. I do, I do, I do!!

Welcome to the premiere episode of The Hills. Our reality star Lauren has left Laguna Beach for Hollywood to go to fashion school. Lauren is rooming with her best-but-less-pretty friend Heidi. I love the theme song, I can already tell it is going to be in my head for days…”the rest is still unwritten…” Catchy! Lauren arrives at what I can only assume is her new digs in her convertible, with her suitcases sticking out of the back. She walks away to the pool to see Heidi, as if no one would ever think to steal her bags. The girls mosey up to the apartment, complete with a spiral staircase, very cute. How is it that Lauren has never seen her apartment before, who does that? Lauren’s ring tone is an old school Journey song, how funny is that! Uh oh, it is Teen Vogue calling and wanting Lauren to go to her interview pronto, nervousness abounds. Lauren uses her flat iron on her skirt, been there done that.

Of course she gets to the interview looking completely put together. This is all very Devil Wears Prada, complete with a seemingly bitchy boss. Lauren is not the best interviewee, she uses the word like way too much. Not that it matters, I’m sure MTV got her this job long before the interview.

Back at the apartment, Heidi is laying by the pool with the new friend Audrina, they are all going to be best pals. First evening out with the gals and their boys. Heidi (who is a little trashy) is all over her boyfriend Jordan. They complain about working and talk about how much they party, I’m so impressed, not. These boys are douchebags.

Lauren and Heidi are at fashion school meeting with the director of admissions. Lauren talks to her intelligently, she comes off as very driven and committed to school. Heidi is up next, she is nothing like Lauren. Trashy, clueless, party girl-that’s how I describe Heidi. I can already see where sparks are going to fly. The director of admissions has that look like she wants to reach across and gauge out Heidi’s eyes for being so dumb. I can understand that feeling.

Back at home with the roomists. Lauren gets the call from some Teen Vogue guy who tricks her into thinking she does not have the job, then (as predicted) offers it to her, whew the suspense on that one was killing me.

First day at Teen Vogue and Lauren scopes out her co-worker Whitney, she is sticky sweet in a weird frilly dress and loud bracelets. The girls get fashion advice from a teen vogue lady who gives Lauren a jacket and Whitney a new belt…that’s weird stuff right there. Off to visit with the boss lady who gives them a stern warning that they are to behave when they are out and about or face the rath of Miss Cruella Deville herself, yikes. Enter editor Nicole with a stack of envelopes for the girls to stuff. Cool Lauren makes a Seinfeld reference that Whitney is clueless to-deduct one point from Whitney.

Back at the pool, Lauren makes it clear to Heidi that she will not sneak her into the cool Teen Vogue party or any other shady business. I think it is unlikely that Heidi will heed Lauren’s warnings.

Party time, minor celebrity appearances. Lauren is assigned guard duty on some benches, fun job. Of course Heidi appears outside wanting to get in. Lauren seemed shocked, I’m shocked that she is talking on her cell phone at work. Lauren folds and sends them to Whitney to get in the door. Whitney agrees, poor choice Whit. Heidi, Jordan, Brian, and Audrina crash the special benches. Heidi and Jordan get into an argument in front of one of the Vogue peeps, Lauren gets bitched at for it. The boss lady catches Lauren sitting down on the job with her pals, she’s in big trouble. She tells the so-called friends to scatter. This is no good, now she and Whitney are in trouble all because of less-pretty Heidi. The wild best friend is always trouble, we’ll see what happens next!

As Season 3 wrapped up, we saw Lauren Conrad heading to Paris (finally getting her chance) with Whitney. Heidi Montag was leaving Spencer errr.. taking a break from Spencer and heading to her parents house in Colorado. Audrina was hanging around the apartment straightening things up with a possible new love interest in her life. I love how they leave us hanging here.

Well, we won’t have to hang for long because The Hills will be back in the Spring with eight bonus episodes that follow Lauren and Whitney in Paris as well as allow us to track what is going on with Heidi and Spencer.  Wohooo! Can’t wait for the Spring to get here. It won’t be fast enough.

Want to dress like Heidi and Lauren or at least get in on their style? I know I’m always tuning in to see what the girls are wearing whether that be clothes, accessories, jewelry or I even found out what their favorite scents are.

Remember the engagement ring Spencer bought for Heidi? Who knows what he paid for it, but you too can have a look-a-like ring just like Heidi’s. Let’s hope that it brings you better luck than it did her - or was that whole breakup thing a set up for the cameras? I don’t know. Anyway - I’ve found a knockoff of Heidi’s ring and probably at a fraction of the cost. Check it out…

Heidi’s Gorgeous Engagement Ring

If Heidi leaves a bad taste in your mouth - how about stylin’ like Lauren?  Yep, we’ve seen what her line goes for - lots of money, but you can get her style at a fraction of the cost. Check out these steals…

Lauren Conrad from MTV’s popular reality show, The Hills has admitted that sometimes they have to do reshoots of what certain events.  She said that that is how reality shows are filmed in that if the camera isn’t present during certain life events that they ask her to basically do over the life event.

For example, a phone call happened between her and Brody and the cameras missed it, so they had her recreate it the following day. Basically she had to have the same conversation again. Her response is “I mean, it’s not like we are lying to anyone, it’s telling what really happened, but it’s just the way they film reality shows.”

Lauren also had to redo scenes she had with Heidi Montag when they had some tiffs. The cameras would always miss it so they’d have to redo the scenes.

“But they only set that up because it was happening off-camera,” she says.

“We were getting into these situations where we were running into [Heidi and Spencer], and [MTV] kept missing them.”

Hmmm..redoing scenes sounds a little bit like acting because you already know how things turn out - so they are pretty much acting on the redo. Sounds a little fake to me, but the real premise still remains. What do you think?

Lauren loves her LINEA PELLE TOTE. She’s seen carrying it all over Los Angeles as she runs errands.
