HILLS RECAP: Whitney Takes A Bite Out of the Big Apple And Whatnot

Well, for the umpteenth episode in a row, poor Lauren Conrad has taken a backseat on her own show as a supporting character — this time Whitney — anchored the main story line. The good news was that we got a break from the endless Audrina / Justin Bobby drama. The bad news is that we …

HILLS RECAP: Smooth Moves?

I identified strongly with this latest episode of The Hills because like Audrina Patridge, I too moved to a new home last week, and also like her, I have wonderful new kitchen. Well, maybe not as gleaming as hers, but considering that none of the appliances seem to predate the Bush administration, I’d say that’s …

HILLS RECAP: Australian for Lame

Happy Halloween, everyone! To celebrate today’s festivities, I’m bringing you a recap of a positively SCARY episode of The Hills. And by “scary,” I mean “scary boring,” because that’s what this week was. Sure, there were some fleeting amusing moments (Chiara scolding her Master being prime among them), but the rest was kind of blaaah. …

If McCain's Good Enough For Speidi, He's Good Enough For You!

John McCain’s campaign has been trailing in the national polls recently, and while I’m sure he’d be delighted to get whatever help he can get, I tend to think these photos of Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag in pro-McCain/Palin t-shirts may not be what he has in mind. Yes, in the past McCain has expressed …

HILLS RECAP: Greetings From Brody's Cabo Cantina

Poor Lauren. She had to sit on the sidelines of this latest episode of The Hills while her sidekick Audrina got wasted and spent the following twenty minutes of screen time trying to grab a flower. If it doesn’t sound exciting, you’re wrong. This is The Hills, the only show on television that can create …

Free Lunch, Courtesy Of B-Side Blog and Sonic!

Avid followers of The Hills may notice Sonic’s various parody ads scattered throughout the telecast on a weekly basis. This is all part of the fast food chain’s serialized spoof, titled The Stalls, and in an effort to promote both the ad campaign and their restaurants, the good people of Sonic have sent me a …

HILLS RECAP: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Boy Boy Boy!!

It was all about the boys on this week’s episode of The Hills as Audrina struggled to find love with a perfectly fine Aussie bloke before returning to that perpetual bastion of heartbreak and body odor, Justin Bobby. I guess it’s never easy to get over that special someone, even if his chuckle does show …

HILLS RECAP: Don't Speak, Holly. Don't Speak.

There were many things to admire in last night’s episode of The Hills, and chief among them was Holly, who taking a page from her mother, finally stood up to Spencer with an “Oh SNAP!” moment to close out the episode. Of course, we did have to wait nearly thirty minutes for the confrontation, but …
