While you were out BBQing, working on your tans and soaking up the last (official) days of summer, the Hills gang was busy twittering up a storm. Find out why Spencer Pratt wants his sister to lose his number (and wants Brody Jenner to lose Jayde Nicole) with this Tuesday's Twitter roundup!

• Stephanie Pratt spent her holiday weekend snuggling with her puppy, seeing the new Quentin Tarantino flick and getting blown off by her bro (via celly), who told her to "Stop calling me, this isn't a hotline."

• Oh, and did we mention Steph also worked in some fun in the sun with her new sister-in-law, Holly Montag (and the Hills crew)?

• Meanwhile, Heidi Pratt got some well-deserved rest during her three-day weekend, spending the time "laying around," tweeting bible verses at Miley Cyrus and trying to beat her hubby (a.ka. King Spencer) to 1,000,000 Twitter pals.

• And speaking of his royal lordship, Spence skipped the beach but made waves by telling Brody Jenner to ditch that "nude model you hang with" and go back to Kristin Cavallari "ASAP".

• And of course we can't leave out our fave Hills alumnus, Lauren Conrad, who unfortunately spent her staycation cooped up indoors, nursing a bad case of the flu, courtesy of BFF Lo Bosworth.

There were more than a few surprises at Sunday night's Teen Choice Awards. And while we weren't expecting to see Miley Cyrus work the pole (or Spencer Pratt lose the Choice Villain honors to Gossip Girl's Chuck Bass Ed Westwick), we kinda had a feeling Lauren Conrad would take home the Choice TV Female Reality Star title again. And we were right!

Earlier this season, we weren't sure if Day26 would ever finish their sophomore album. Hell, we weren't sure if there would even BE a Day26. But despite the occasional (semi-frequent) thrown punch, the boys stuck it out -- and finished out the season closer than ever. Oh, and while they were at it? They also managed to put out the number two bestselling album in the country.

Yep, Miley Cyrus might've topped the Billboard charts last week, but Day26 was right behind her, selling 113,000 copies (boo-yah!) of their brand-new album, Forever In A Day. Impressive? You bet, especially considering the guys were barely even on speaking terms for half their studio sessions.

Hey, nothin' says "I survived the Making the Band curse" like hugging it out on national tv. But we're thinking lighting up the Billboard charts couldn't hurt either ...

+ Bonus: Get your happy-dance on by watching Day26 and Diddy perform "Imma Put It On Her" live, at the Making the Band 4, Season 3 finale!

As much as we loved scoping out Andrew, Alexis and Cole's pads, there are so many more celebrity Teen Cribs we're just dying to see. Below, the three famous abodes on our Fantasy Cribs list.

As I’m sure y'all know, there are several ways to eat an Oreo. The totally boring way is to chomp the whole thing in one bite. Another option is to separate the cookie, leaving the frosting for the post-cookie coma. Yet another way is to scrape the creamy parts from multiple Oreos and throw away the cookies because they’re really nothing more than a frosting delivery service.

What does all this have to do with the season finale of The City, you ask? Well, just when I was beginning to feel like The City had been giving us a lot of cookies and no creamy frosting, the finale revealed that they’ve been saving ALL of the frosting from literally THOUSANDS of Oreos for the end of the season. Detox verdict: delish!

With unmatched style and poise, Whitney tied up all the loose ends of her season arc, putting Olivia in her place, giving Jay a swift kick down under and even getting some serious face time with Diane Von Freaking Furstenberg! This episode had more girl power than a Tyra Banks talk show featuring a duet by Posh Spice and Miley Cyrus.

Whitney, Olivia, Allie and that other girl: It’s been one hell of a ride... Too much frosting. Gonna puke.

Today was kind of a mixed bag. My entire family perished in a horrible RV accident en route to Cantiello Reunionfest 2009. Uncle Fingers could only be identified by his dental records. I'm gonna miss that grab-happy bastard. On the lighter side of things, we had about a million special guests, which proves that every cloud has a silver lining!

The Crystal Method dropped in to kick off the show in a most profoundly dude-ish manner. Can't wait for their new record, Divided By Night, to drop, though I don't know how they could possibly beat the "Name of the Game" video (you know, that one with the dude whose got the enormous nose for a head? Ugh, never mind.) Then Patrick and Streeter from The CollegeHumor Show took a break from their perpetual hilariousness to show me the proper way to prank call Miley Cyrus. Don't feel bad for her, she had it coming.

And as if all of this weren't magical enough, Sway came by to turn me into a rapper by the only way he knows how: hypnotherapy. Watch out, Weezy, Jim Jam's spitting hot recap fire all over this place!

Gotta get back to the rap game. I'm starting to regret the teardrop tattoo, though. Apparently it doesn't mean, "I cried when David Archuleta lost American Idol."
