Last time we saw Audrina Patridge out on the town, she was showin' off those rock hard abs in a belly-baring genie costume. And while she looked super hot on Halloween, it's great to see our hipstery Hillzie back in full effect. Yesterday, 'Drina threw on a fitted black vest/matching fedora and strutted her stuff at the Catherine Malandrino cafe, while photogs snapped away. Check out the pix!

Natch, we wanted to know where we could score her edgy, rocker style (without spending the big bucks!), so we hit up the internets and discovered some similar styles in the fall/2009 presentation of Avril Lavigne's cheap-but-chic Abbey Dawn line (available at Kohl's). Happy window shopping!

+ Like Audrina's style but not sure you can pull it off? Don't be silly! We took a look back at some old Hills stills and found these pics of Lauren Conrad, Justin Bobby and Brent Bolthouse rocking the old-school look in Season Five. Hey, if they can do it, so can you!

As soon as we heard Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were hosting tomorrow's live Engaged & Underaged wedding special (1pm ET), we got to thinking about the couple's own plans to hop (re-hop?) down the aisle. So what will Speidi's Wedding: Part Deux actually entail? Here's a couple of our bestest/silliest/most wishful thinkingest ideas:

+ Theme: Fancypants. This over-the-top black-tie affair (catered by the winner of Top Chef: New York, photographed by Us Weekly and planned to perfection by Brent Bolthouse) will have all the snooty staples: giant, four-tiered wedding cake (think: too gorgeous to eat), long, flowy couture dresses for the girls, James Bond tuxes for the boys. Party favors to include designer giftbags (fuchsia-colored Balenciagas, natch) filled with a Tiffany crystal-framed glamor shot of the happy couple. Honeymoon to follow at Doug Reinhardt's parent's house in Cabo.

A few weeks ago, Heidi Montag got sacked for committing the cardinal sins of inviting her pals along to a work-only affair and singlehandedly causing a tequila shortage. And when a chance meeting with her former boss, Brent Bolthouse, only made things worse (instead of rehiring her on the spot, Bolthouse reamed her out for having a "nightmare" boyfriend"), it looked like Heidi's days in PR were officially over.

That is, until she scored a meeting with Bolthouse's not-so-silent partner, Sam Nazarian, who reluctantly agreed to give her another shot -- but only after he called her into the principal's office and scolded her like a schoolgirl.

Yep, from the minute Heidi gave her name at the front desk (Intimidation Tactic #1: Make her come to you) we knew there was gonna be trouble. Check out our play-by-play of how Sam put Heidi in her place and learn how to intimidate like a pro by reading on for Intimidation Tactics #2-5.

On the one hand, it was kinda romantic when Spencer brushed past his wife-to-be, strode up to her ex-boss, Brent Bolthouse, and defended her honor. On the other hand, it was pretty much the exact opposite of what Heidi wanted. Let's take another look at the brief convo that took place right before Spencer started making Brent "a little uncomfortable," shall we?

Heidi: Let it go.
Spencer: No, f--- that. I will bitchslap him.

Okay, see if Spencer had listened to his lady and left well enough alone, Heidi might've been able to gather her thoughts before hitting her ex-employer with a carefully-worded apology. Instead, he went with his original plan (minus the bitchslapping,) meaning that before Heidi could even talk tequila, she had to start out by apologizing for her man.

As a result, Heidi had no choice but to listen as the porkpie hat-wearing Bolthouse offered her some (unsolicited) relationship advice. Wait a sec, did we say "advice?" Because what we really meant was slammed her with hella awkward rhetorical questions (like "Dude, your boyfriend's a nightmare...what's wrong with you?")

+ Think Spencer was a little too headstrong for his (and Heidi's) own good? Or does he deserve props for trying to do right by his girl? Tell us who you think was more out of line: Spencer, for talking to Brent about Heidi, or Brent -- for talking to Heidi about Spencer.

Much like the Stephanie-Doug debacle/pool party episode ("She's like a lost puppy!") tonight's Hills had more than its fair share of awkward one-liners. From Spencer's insensitive remarks to a just-fired Heidi ("Why are you in such a bad mood, yo?") to Whitney's candid critique of Alex's carrot-colored foundation ("You just look like you have a really bad, like, fake tan"), the hits just kept on comin'.

And since we're having trouble picking the best of the bunch, we figured we'd put it up to a vote -- and let you guys decide who had tonight's most rewind-worthy rejoinder.

The last time Spencer was near one of Heidi's bosses, he offered the guy a shot. So we're not sure what to expect when he ambushes Brent Bolthouse, club-side, on next week's Hills -- while Heidi contemplates curling up into a ball and never, ever coming out.

Fortunately, we've got plenty of other things to worry about. Like whether our sweet, innocent Whitney's turning into a total modelizer! Exhibit A: The fact that she's totes ignoring cute, uninteresting Alex (a.k.a. the dude she strolled around NYC with -- like, total date-style!) in favor of a dark, handsome (and did we mention Adonis-like???) stranger.

And since Whit and Lauren are in NYC for Men's Fashion Week, it looks as though they'll have plenty of eye-candy to choose from. And we'll have plenty of pretty things -- oops, we mean boys -- to look at while we wonder whether or not Brent Bolthouse will respond to Spencer's usual charms by socking him in the face.

After watching Brent Bolthouse fire Heidi for racking up a WUI (that's Working Under the Influence) at the XIV opening on this week's Hills, we started wondering where Miss Montag was headed next. But if internet rumors are to be believed (and we all know the 'net NEVER lies), she may already have her next gig lined up: a guest-starring role on CBS's hit sitcom, How I Met Your Mother. Here's the as-yet-unconfirmed scoop, courtesy of Zap2it:

I'm hearing Heidi and Spencer may cameo in an upcoming How I Met Your Mother episode, which would likely air sometime in December. Word is, their scene(s) would be with Marshall (Jason Segel), which they're psyched about, being big Forgetting Sarah Marshall fans.

So far, neither the network or the studio has confirmed/denied the story, but if it IS true, we're thinking this acting gig would TOTALLY trump her Hills rival Lauren Conrad's Greek cameo -- not to mention Audrina's stint on Do Not Disturb and Whitney's barely-there Entourage walk-on.

+ Think Speidi are up to the task of guest-starring on a hit primetime show? Let us know whether you'd tune in to watch the fair-haired pair pull a Britney Spears -- and try their hand at scripted comedy.

As a general rule, drinking on the job is a major no-no. (Except if your job is, like, Official Whiskey Taster at Jim Bean Enterprises.) But since Heidi works in PR -- which means her job is, essentially, to throw giant, crazy, open-bar parties -- we can see how the lines might've gotten a little blurred on tonight's Hills... along with Heidi's vision.

And while there's no question she screwed up by inviting Spencer and her pals along for the wild, booze-fueled ride -- and, um, for shouting "I am sooo wasted! Can I get another tequila?!" at a work event -- we think her (former) boss Brent Bolthouse might've been just a smidge hard on her.*

Plus, couldn't Heidi's coworker/work bestie Kimberly have at least pretended to stick up for her? Y'know, instead of just declaring "Well, I definitely wasn't [drinking]" (wink, wink!) and totes not-warning Heidi that she was walking into an ambush...

+ Anyhow, think Heidi deserved to get the axe? Or was she just blowing off some steam after a long night of hard work? Take our poll!

* Course, he might've still been steamed over last year's season finale, in which Heidi blew off a super-important work meeting to hold hands with Spencer and, like, was NOT available on her Blackberry Wireless Handheld....
