Between the possibility of Spencer ending up in stitches, Heidi calling off another wedding and Audrina hooking up with Brody, tonight's season premiere of The Hills has got us salivating like Chloe over a pair of bacon-scented Heidiwood hot pants. That said, we're feelin' kinda moody about this being LC's last run, so we're making one final plea that she reconsider her decision to peace out:

Dearest Lauren Conrad,

Ever since we met you -- like, all the way back in them Laguna Beach days -- we've been so impressed by how you handle sticky sitches. Even when your sketchy bf, Jason Wahler, totes kissed his ex Jessica in clear view ('Fight the Slide' fashion show, anyone?), you were like, "Get the hells away from me!" instead of stabbing his eye with a spare stiletto. And we really admired that.

It's no secret those Hills girls have style. And since we've always been a fan of their ready-to-wear looks (Whitney's cute work tunics! Audrina's edgy biker pants!  Stephanie's never-ending arsenal of print dresses!), we're totally confident that Lauren, Heidi and the rest of the gang would bring it in a Battle of the Best-Dressed. Fortunately, they've already got their first fashion faceoff! Turns out, our girls are up against those kutesy Kardashian sibs -- and the skinny-minis on 90210 --  for the 2008 People's Choice "Hollywood Style" award.

So whether you're on Team Heidiwood, or you're all about the (best-selling!) Lauren Conrad Collection, head over to the People's Choice Awards website and support your Hills gals.

The polls are open from now until October 3rd, so vote early and vote often! Who knows -- it just might be the second most important ballot you'll cast this fall...

We already know Heidi and Spencer plan to visit Iraq.  But before embarking on that trip, they took a much shorter one -- to visit Montag's Heidiwood line at Kitson's L.A. boutique! Evidently, Heidi can now add "shrewd business woman" to her ever-thickening resume. Because nothing makes the clothes fly off the racks like having a celeb designer on the premises! We already knew the clothes were awesome --  but so is the prospect of being so close to Speidi you're practically sharing a dressing room!
