It seems like just yesterday I was munching on popcorn, watching last season’s finale of The Hills, wondering what would become of Lauren, Lo, and Audrina’s shattered friendship. This past Monday marked season four’s premiere of the popular MTV series and sadly enough, it didn’t live up to the suspense that had developed over the summer.

When we left the Hollywood crew at the beginning of the summer, Heidi and Spencer had reconciled for the fiftieth time and he moved back into her apartment (or his?); Lauren, Lo and Audrina were silently at each other’s throats; Spencer’s sister was stirring up all sorts of trouble; and Whitney was, well, being cute little Whitney. Last night we found out that not much has changed, or will change, this season.

Heidi’s sister (did we even know she had a sister?) arrived for a surprise visit from Colorado, much to sullen Spencer’s chagrin. Spencie threw a tantrum, especially when her sister mentioned moving to LA. Looks like that relationship will never be without conflict.

Lauren dates another cutie who looks pretty much like Brody, swearing that she hasn’t been on a date since she met Brody (um, didn’t she go on, like, 50 dates last season?!). The roommates are still on edge and after Lo disappears at the birthday party that her and Lauren threw for Audrina, Lo and Audrina have the awkward “this is your fault, no it’s your fault, Lauren is my friend” disagreement. The dagger was finally thrown by Audrina, who boldly tells Lo that they will never be friends.

Whitney was still cute little Whitney.

Previews for the coming season outline nothing new - the girls’ feud continues, Spencer’s sister and Lauren get in some kind of friction involving Lauren’s new boy, Audrina and Justin Bobby fool around, blah blah. Whitney meets a boy though! Go Team Whitney!

I’m not sure what I expected, but it was definitely more than this. Not that I’m complaining; I still plan on rejecting all calls/texts/emails that come in Monday nights at 10pm. After all, it’s The Hills! I can’t wait for next week.

MTV has unleashed a new trailer for the fourth season of their hit reality show The Hills. The trailer, which can be seen here, features tears, heart-to-hearts, and a revelation that someone makes it to the big house! But lets break the trailer down, shall we?

In this season, Lauren Conrad says goodbye to dating man-sluts like Jason Wahler and Brody Jenner behind for the hotter and suaver man-candy, Doug Reinhardt. Fun fact: he’s the brother of Casey Reinhardt of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County Season 2! Because Lauren is tabloid fodder, we already know she and Doug don’t make it. Let’s at least hope she made good use of him and didn’t leave the bedroom too often;)

Yeah, she knows she hit it. But hopefully he wasn’t one of the reasons she decided to join this campaign. We for sure know Jason is one of those reasons.

Also shopping in the romance department is Whitney Port. In New York, she finds several pieces of man to devour. And boy, does she deserve it.Throughout the series, Ms. Port has had the least man-action of the whole slutty cast. Girl works hard at her job and embarrasses herself on national television - she definitely deserves some time for love.

Heidi Montag became famous through her association with Lauren. Spencer caught on and became famous by leaching off of Montag’s sort-of-fame. Then he got his sister a cut of the deal and pulled her in to the show. Now one of Heidi’s sisters is trying to grab some air time of her own. The producers should have cut Speidi out by season three, if you ask me. They should at least stop people from piggy-backing off the Speidi fame.

Brody Jenner is not done with his time on The Hills. He still has to muster up more drama before he stars his Bromance reality show. Jenner is speaking up on his disapproval of the She-Pratt friendship. And one thing the show caught that we didn’t - Brody goes to jail for some fist fight action! That’s actually somewhat of a shocker despite all his douche-yness.

Brody is correct in warning Lauren of the friendship. It is revealed that Stephanie Pratt makes the moves on Doug Reindhart! Really, Doug? You’re going to fall for that crap? Do you know watch The Hills at all? MTV reality has pretty much been revolving around you for the past couple of years. And as for that other Pratt girl… well I just don’t understand why she strives to be her brother.

Lo and Audrina are at it again. With Audrina living in the guest house, she and Conrad have started drifting apart. Audrina has taken responsibility for her nude pics, but for some reason is putting the blame on Ms. “Lo” Bosworth.

And finally, the last shots of the trailer feature a conversation between Lauren and Audrina and their drifting apart. However, it seems Lauren forgot what scene she was doing that day and didn’t put on her waterproof mascara! What a mess! Your crying scenes were so excellently executed before! Don’t get careless LC, this show is pretty important! Kathy Griffin is already after you, we don’t need fans of the show upset too!

Now, if I know The Hills at all, it’s that they pretty much give everything away in the previews. I believe this trailer is pretty much a summary of the whole season and will be able to sum up all the drama of the show at season’s end. Lets hope the crew caught the drama behind the scenes at the Rolling Stone photoshoot, and they’re saving all that good stuff for the show.

The new season starts August 18th, only on MTV. I’m seriously hoping there will also be a new season of the mini series, Dove Fresh Takes starring Alicia Keys. Those little shows made The Hills even more enjoyable.

First Laguna Beach, then Hollywood, and now Manhattan? There has been talk of a possible spinoff of MTV reality show The Hills, featuring LC’s sweet sidekick, Whitney Port, through all new single-girl adventures in NYC. While only speculation, these rumors have left giddy fans wondering - is it really true?

The scene has been set - Whitney left Teen Vogue at the beginning of last season, taking a challenging yet glamorous position at People’s Revolution, a cutthroat fashion PR company located in Los Angeles and New York City. When owner Kelly Catrone mentions a possible move for Whitney to the New York office, rumors started flying.

Between the constant drama between Heidi and Spencer, the excitement of LC’s life as a single, 20-something-year-old girl living in Hollywood, and Audrina’s adventures on the back of Justin Bobby’s motorcycle, Whitney is at times rarely featured in your average episode of The Hills. Which could go either way - following her around New York City could either be incredibly boring or stepping out of LC’s shadow could shed a whole new light to Whitney’s character and bring out the crazy in her. Every guy I know is already mildly obsessed with the sweet, sometimes goofiness of Whitney’s character, so if anything, ratings will probably probably skyrocket.

Another MTV “reality” show? Bring it on.

The girls of The Hills are on the cover of the new issue of Rolling Stone magazine. The issue discusses the reasons why this is the show that we hate to love or love to hate.

F.Y.I Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag were not photographed separately. The girls were all photographed together. Heidi looks like a total skank.

Heidi told UsWeekly, “I really pray for her.” LC rolled her eyes when she heard what Heidi said about her. LC’s friend, Lo, added, “I wasn’t aware that Heidi was an especially religious gal. But if she wants to pray, she can pray all she wants.”

Here is an excerpt from Rolling Stone:

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.’ ”

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.”

Go ahead and watch this clip to get a behind the scenes look at the cover shoot. Oh, the drama!

As you may or may not already have heard Heidi Montag (best known for being ex-bff to Lauren Conrad on “The Hills”) has just released her own fashion line at Anchor Blue called “Heidiwood.” “Welcome to LaLa Land” is Heidiwood’s slogan. Yes, it truly is LaLa land where even F list “celebrities” can put out their own clothing line.

You’re probably curious to see what gems Heidi Montag has “designed.” Here’s a little quick and dirty overview.

Ok, someone blind and uninspired threw this “collection” together. Heidiwood’s line looks like an incomprehensible mess of separates. Her colors are either all over the place, or there’s no color–just black and white. Sure, the purple is fabulous, but how does that relate to the dark teal or the bright turq top? Does she not watch Project Runway?!?!? Nina Garcia would have some harsh words for Heidi if she sent this mish mosh down the runway and called it her “collection.” It really looks like she raided a Macy’s (uh… a plain denim short? a white denim mini skirt?) and slapped a Heidiwood label on it. The “empress” has no clothes (or at least none that I’d like to wear). Not to mention, most of the price points are totally outrageous!!

The screen tee above is priced at $26.95…. Heidi WHO??? I’m sorry, but if I see someone wearing that tee, I’d be tempted to slap them in the face for 1) being a poser and 2) giving Heidi Montag money. Most items start at $26.95 for a tank or a tee and go up to $44.95 for a denim pant. I can see these on a clearance rack already…

Oh, and to make Heidiwood even more hateable, every piece in her line is only carried in size XS-L. Apprently Heidi doesn’t believe in size XL is an appropriate size for her clothes. Apparently it’s not “L.A.” or something… who knows?

Ok, to be truthfully honest, I saw ONE item that is semi- redeeming….

This zebra cocktail ring is slightly fabulous. But THAT’S IT! Everything is “been there, done that, seen it, move on” just like the LA crowd. Enjoy your 15 minutes Heidi… the clock is ticking by quickly and this is most definitely not going to slow it down.

So, last night we got to see Spencer Brat, I mean Selfish Pratt, no wait, Spencer Pratt (whew!) at his finest. He actually told Heidi, “Your delusional”!!! OMG–can you believe that fi’shizzle? Not that I’m all that much of a Heidi fan–and yes, at times, especially last season whenever Lauren Conrad confronted her about Spencer, she could be quite delusional–but this time? NO WAY was she delusional! Finally, FINALLY, FINALLY, she grew a spine! And finally, FINALLY, FINALLY I’ve gained the slightest shred of respect for her–go Heidi! If she keeps this kinda spunk going this season then maybe, just maybe, I’ll have to come around on my negative opinion of her.

How awesome was that dinner with Heidi and her parents? She was giving Spence the most awesome death glares a girl can give…and he’s so wrapped up in his own self-absorbed self that he continued to just reiterate how he’s out in Colorado for his own selfish reasons–what a complete dunce!

Okay–subject change–Lauren Conrad & Brody Jenner–uh, two days and he’s moved on!?! Wow…just wow…poor LC can’t pick the right boys ever. So, at least she got out and saw some of Paris via the back of Matthius’ Vespa while still in her ball gown (ahhh, just like a fairytale)…Even so, I really don’t think this whole Matthius thing is really gonna go anywhere–their goodbye was super weak…and come on, LC is a So-Cal girl, could she really stand to kiss a smoking fiend?–I totally love the French, but they’ve gotta cut off their love affair with the nicotine sticks for sure.

Hopefully in the next episode we’ll get to see Audrina, but for now, kudos to her for being the most awesome girlfriend in LC’s life right now–calling her up and giving her the dirt on Brody! She stuck to girl code and you’ve gotta love that!
