Audrina Patridge never used to be shy when it came to relationship talk. But after The Brody Jenner Incident, all the Justin Bobby drama and even that Chris Pine disaster, girl’s decided to keep her newest love on lockdown. ‘Course, that’s not always easy when you’re constantly surrounded by paparazzi. Last month, ‘Drina was spotted in Vegas making out with her ex, Corey Bohan, and the pair was photographed holding hands in Mexico a week later.

So are they officially dating?

Over the last few years, playboy-turned-devoted husband Spencer Pratt’s tried on a bunch of different hats. But now the rapper/politico/weatherman-hating Hills star says he’s changed his “evil” ways for good and claims he’s done wasting his “time and energy on fame and pop culture.”

Natch, we’re kinda skeptical (since when has the I’m A Celebrity alum been AGAINST publicity?!), but we’re willing to give him the benefit of the doubt (for now) and let you make the call. After the jump, check out some sample posts from Spencer’s Twitter and let us know whether you think Heidi’s hubby’s a changed man!

We’ve seen Holly Montag go girly for Speidi’s wedding, au naturale (sans makeup, not sans clothes!) for Costa Rica and even a little Indiana Jones for photogs! But does girl have a rebellious streak at all? You’d better believe it. Lately, at event after event, Holly’s been showing up rockin’ metallic minis, black leather and smoky, don’t-eff-with-me-eyes. And as much as we loved the soft, peach-colored gown she wore to The Hills: Season Four finale, we gotta admit she looks happiest when she’s dressed LIKE A TOTAL ROCK STAR!

+ Like Holly better as a good girl, or are you all about her dark side? Peep these pix of the “secret” wild child (she IS a Montag, after all!) and tell us whether you think she’s prettier in pastels — or smokin’ hot in shiny, black leather!

At first glance, doe-eyed Hillzie Audrina Patridge and paparazzi queen Paris Hilton don’t seem that much alike. But get past all those superficial differences — i.e. blond/brunette, billionaire/millionaire, hates The Hills/on The Hills — and you’ll see that these MTV vets actually have loads in common! (Like starring in slasher flicks, dating reality TV goobers and showing off their buns for Carl’s Jr.) So is it a total coincidence, or is ‘Drina trying to become the next P. Hilton?! Watch this MTV News vid (courtesy of our friends at Hollywood Crush), then you decide!

Sure, Al Roker threw Speidi a couple of curveballs when the couple swung by the Today show. But there were a few things he forgot to ask the newly nuptialed Hillzies, in our humble opinion. Fortunately, Comedy Central’s Daniel Tosh agreed — and caught up with the jungle duo to fill in some holes. Good thing Spencer and Heidi have a sense of humor!

+ Want more? Catch the rest of Tosh’s hard-hitting interview, after the jump!

In case you didn’t know (or knew, but in your extreme over-excitement, totes forgot), Lauren Conrad’s new novel, L.A. Candy, came out last week. And the book hadn’t been in stores more than 24 hours before we’d downloaded it to our Kindle, read it from start to finish (what? sleep is sooo overrated!) and heaved a satisfied sigh as we turned the last pages in what we’re convinced is The. Best. Reality-Inspired. Fiction. EVER.

Okay, okay, so we’re slightly biased (being obsessed with Everything LC Does and all), but we totally, legitimately LOVED it. And, natch, we wanna hear how you guys felt about poor, sweet Jane and her gorgeous, smart-assy roomie/hot, commitment-phobic love interest/blonde, publicity-starved nemesis!

So take our poll and tell us whether you hearted/hated it, then sound off about anything/everything in the comments. (P.S. Anyone else love the beyond byotchy boss who turns into a total sweetheart/glamorpuss in front of the cameras?)

Kristin Cavallari may not always play nice with her costars, but she was all smiles when approached by a pint-sized Laguna lover during an afternoon of retail therapy. Peep these pix of the soon-to-be Hills star hugging it out with her biggest (smallest??) fan, then tell us whether you think we’re seeing the softer, gentler side of K-Cav — or just the calm before the storm …

Just when we’d (almost) wrapped our pretty little heads around Lauren Conrad’s Hills departure, Audrina Patridge threw us for a loop by announcing she’d be leaving the show as well. But while LC’s taking a break from reality TV (or so she says), Audrina’s post-Hills plans include starring in her OWN reality series! Natch, we were equal parts excited for ‘Drina (yay, spinoff!) and traumatized about losing her. ‘Til we found out the show had officially found a network. Us.

Yep, ‘Drina’s new series (tentatively titled The Audrina Show and produced by Survivor creator Mark Burnett) is now “in development” (that’s press release speak for “totally happening”) right here at MTV! Let us know if you’ll be watching — and if not, WHY?! NOT?!

BTW: Don’t mourn/celebrate just yet: Audrina’s still got another half-season left on The Hills! And something (cough, Kristin Cavallari) tells us you won’t wanna miss it.

Everyone knows about the dangers of drinking and dialing. A couple of shots and suddenly, BAM! You’re calling up your ex and telling him you’re truly, madly, deeply in love with him (and then vomiting in the kitchen sink). Hypothetically.

‘Course, in a couple rarely documented cases, alcohol plus crackberry has actually resulted in a good decision! And Brody Jenner is living proof of that. Case in point, this Twitter update he posted after a long (and apparently not so memorable) night with the bottle:

Congratulations, dude! Now if only philanthropy would help that hangover …

If you’re lookin’ for the latest goss on Spencer and Heidi, you won’t find it at E! Online. Ever. After giving its readers the opportunity to banish the couple from the site, editors have announced that they’ll be steering clear of all things Speidi-related from now ’til the end of time. Supposedly. Read their rationale below, then let us know whether you think they’ll actually enforce this so-called Speidi-Free Zone.

“A startling 94 percent of you elected for the Hills stars’ immediate expulsion. Consider them gone from our wheelhouse, voted off the island, fired, out and any other appropriate reality-show catchphrase … Barring any actual news (e.g., she gets knocked up, he falls off a cliff or—heaven help us—her album goes to No. 1), consider this their very last post.”

SIDENOTE: With Speidi gone, E! will have plenty o’ time to cover “real” news! And from the looks of it, change is already afoot. Since the ban (EOD yesterday), we’ve already counted three posts on Jon & Kate Gosselin, one on Megan Fox’s tattoo collection and a groundbreaking exclusive on Lindsay Lohan’s next scheduled dip in the pool. Sheez, anyone else ready for something softer?
