An Open Letter To Spencer Pratt

Posted 5/21/08 1:29 pm EST by in The Hills, Top TV Shows

Dear Spence,

Wait, can I call you Spence? It feels as though I've known you forever, but that's just cuz I've been watching you since long before you grew a mustache and started mooching off your younger/cooler sis, Stephanie.

But anyhow, I'm actually writing to let you know I'm feeling sort of conflicted about your relationship with Heidi. Sure, you guys have a lot in common (you've both got that whole bleached-blond "We hate Lauren" thing going for you) but I'm just not sure that's the kind of stuff that translates into a successful long-term relationship.

Look, I get that you've totally changed these past few months (more grand romantic gestures! more shaving!) and worked through all some of your commitment issues, but as Commenter Kina puts it, "Changing from player to stalker doesn’t make you boyfriend material."

Gone, But Not Forgotten: Chad's Final Moments on Shot at Love 2

Posted 5/21/08 11:56 am EST by in Tila Tequila, Top TV Shows


chad-montage.jpg

Week after week, we've watched as Tila's suitors packed their bags and bid a sometimes-tearful adieu to their would-be lady friend and fifteen minutes of fame. And while everyone had trouble saying goodbye to George last week, we had absolutely zero difficulty letting go of Chad and his delightfully orange highlights. To be fair to the memory of a threatening guy who could easily knock my teeth out, too, we've decided to display Chad's glorious, shirt-free bod one last time.

Watch last night's show because you like crazy, testosterone-fueled violence. And hospital rooms. And because it ends with Tila booting Chad faster than you can say "Geez, does this guy EVER wear a shirt?"

Heidi Montag And Spencer Pratt Flaunt Their 'New' Love

Posted 5/20/08 6:31 pm EST by in The Hills, Top TV Shows


spencer-heidi-marriageproposal.jpg

As we all know, last week's season finale of The Hills was somewhat of a cliffhanger. And the juicy trailer left us with even more questions: Will Lo and Audrina become the new Heidi and LC? Is Speidi's relationship vacation really and truly over? Will Justin Bobby blow our minds with another spontaneous haircut?

Unfortunately, only one thing's for sure: Heidi and Spencer are back on. In fact, despite those nasty fake pregnancy rumors, they've been joined at the hip ever since they first "announced" their reconciliation by walking hand-in-hand down the escalator in the finale. And as if that wasn't enough, now Popsugar is accusing Spencer and Heidi of a very serious charge: canoodling in public.

But is the PDA here to stay? Is Speidi back for good? We want to hear what you think: Should Heidi forgive Spencer... or forget him?

Diddy Do Sweet 16 in Style?

Posted 5/20/08 3:43 pm EST by in My Super Sweet 16, Top TV Shows


diddy-quincy-bettermoment.jpg

Anyone else still reeling over last night's season-opener of My Super Sweet Stunna 16? Or am I the only one who spent the entire morning wishing I had a famous stepdad? (Preferably, the kind who says things like, "Why don't I just give you my Amex black card?"). Anyhow, in addition to being super jealous of Quincy's birthday bash/entire existence, I also learned a lot from yesterday's episode. Among the more shocking revelations:

1) When he's not teaching someone a lesson, Diddy can be sorta sweet (or at least not scary).
2) Bright red Sonic the Hedgehog sneaks are totally in!
3) Rapping is not hereditary... or at least not a trait that's passed down from father to stepson.
4) Unfortunately for Quincy, "Stunna 16," (like "fetch" in Mean Girls) is never going to happen.
5) When you're Diddy's stepson, you don't even need to send out written invitations.
6) When you're Diddy's stepson, crazed teenage girls scream "Oh my God!! Quincy's coming!!!" at the mere prospect of actually seeing you. Even though they already knew you'd be there, seeing as (a) it's your party, (b) you invited them, and (c) you're already friends.

And finally, my most important discovery of the evening:

7) Two cars are always better than one

Can't get enough of Quincy? Watch below to see what happened at the Stunna afterparty. And remember: Your '91 Chrysler LeBaron has way more sentimental value than that shiny new Cadillac, anyway.

The Sound Of Silence Hits The Hills

Posted 5/20/08 1:51 pm EST by in The Hills, Top TV Shows


laurenconrad-silent-tears.jpg

The Hills has never been what anyone would describe as a "dialogue-heavy" show. Which explains why they've learned to work almost exclusively in the medium of the unspoken gesture. There's the raised eyebrow, the conspiratorial looks, the uncomfortable silences, the coquettish hair-flipping and, of course, Spencer's classic non-verbal trademark: the evil smirk.

So what happens when you take out all the words? Turns out the characters' body language pretty much speaks for itself. Check out this silent, "super-cut" version of The Hills (courtesy of our friends over at Trend Central) and enjoy a glimpse at a wonderful, magical world, where everyone communicates through tortured glances -- and you never, ever, have to hear Spencer Pratt's voice again.

Hot Off The Presses! Adam Brock Named Homecoming King, Drama Queen

Posted 5/20/08 12:36 pm EST by in The Paper, Top TV Shows


the-paper-homecominggrouppic.jpg

Last night's Paper episode was anything but yesterday's news. Between Mrs. Weiss' controversial new seating arrangement, Adam's Homecoming victory, and Alex's awkward refusal to smile for the group photo, we have plenty to think about today. And since we have nobody to talk to (Amanda won't let us borrow Gabby), we figured we'd share our favorite quotes from the show.

• "No one puts Adam Brock in a f***** corner." --Adam
• "Weiss made us move our seats...cause we all hate each other." --Giana
• "She's perfect. She's Amanda Lorber." --Sarcasto Alex
• "Does anybody else have any Latin quips that they enjoy saying to their friends?" --Joey Hodges
• "It's hard to have a discussion with somebody with words written across their genitals." --Mrs. Weiss
• "I hope that I can, like, redefine cool, I guess." --Adam
• "Save me a dance, you hunk! (Pause) Not you, Bennett. Larry." --Amanda

Did I leave anything out? Tell us your favorite moment from Homecoming Weekend -- and before you decide, it's probably best to take another look at Amanda dancing. (She really hits her stride around the 3:08 mark).

Doppelganger Alert! LC vs. Blake Lively

Posted 5/19/08 7:57 pm EST by in The Hills, Top TV Shows

When you're sort-of famous, there's nothing worse than getting all dolled up in your fave designer gown only to discover that someone more famous than you is wearing the exact same outfit.

Fortunately for Lauren Conrad, she's still far more recognizable than Gossip Girl's Blake Lively Serena van der Woodson. And, according to a new poll, 57% of US Weekly readers think Lauren Conrad turned more heads in the strapless Foley + Corinna frock.

Sorry, S. This really hasn't been your week.

Tonight: The Super Sweet Premiere Of My Super Sweet 16

Posted 5/19/08 6:29 pm EST by in My Super Sweet 16, Top TV Shows


sweet16amex.JPG

Remember that My Super Sweet 16 where Aaron "Son of L.A." Reid got Kanye West to play at his "Young & Hott"-themed party spectacular? Well, now it's Diddy's stepson's turn to go where no one everyone on Sweet 16 has gone before – and impress his adolescent peers with a giant/overly decadent bash!

But can Quincy deliver the big-name talent, multiple outfit-changes, and non-alcoholic cocktails befitting of Diddy's spawn? Possibly! That is, if this strategy session with Diddy is any indication:

Diddy: What's your ideas?

Quincy: Basically, just hot performers -- from Bow Wow to Boyz n da Hood. Soulja Boy, you know? Chris Brown.

(Awkward pause)
Diddy: You want me to get all of them?

Quincy: Yeah.

Not listed among the "hot performers" Quincy wants at his party? The winners of Making the Band, Making the Band 2, Making the Band 3 or (wait for it!) Making the Band 4.

So who does end up performing at Quincy's exorbitant rite-of-passage? You'll have to watch tonight's season premiere to find out! Meanwhile, take a look at this sneak preview from tonight's "Stunna" of an episode.

This weekend's Hills happenings, as reported in the blogosphere:

• Meanwhile, Spencer adds "bad tipper" to his list of dubious achievements. (TMZ)

• We're not the only ones who think devil-wearing-Prada boss, Kelly Cutrone, should have her own reality series... (Boston.com)

• In other news, one pop-culture-conscious blogger demands to know: "Who is your favorite Hills girl?" Sadly, Kelly Cutrone is not an option. (Pop Sugar)
