Quick Hills Nugget

In an earlier post, I wondered whether LC still had the dog she adopted with Lo.  I came across this photo today:

I'm glad she still has the pup and I'm glad it's not one of those little obnoxious dogs.  But I bet those Hills girls are jealous they couldn't get their hands on the cutest dog ever:

And, seriously, what proper dog owner could ever walk a dog in heels?  I'm a heel-a-phobe, and I fell on my rear the day I attempted to take Bear out in my dress flats.  Now I must rock sneakers with my professional attire for our pre- and post-work walks. 

The Hills Rewind, Vol. 5

Well, well, well.  I didn't think anyone really cared.  I thought these little posts were just my way to recap events so my bad memory wouldn't forget.  So I was pleasantly surprised to hear that people (other than my one dedicated commentator) actually read this thing!  But now I feel some pressure to deliver good material. 

Anyways, I'm back to being behind in my not-so-loyal Hills watching.  Got caught up on the post-Cabo episode tonight.  Two comments:

1.  Poor Stephanie Pratt.

Although I generally think she is a hot mess and clearly does not apply anything she may be learning in fashion school to her daily get-ups, I have to say - people need to give her an f'-in break.  In the post-Cabo episode, apparently everyone believes that her new boyfriend, who has no prior relationship to anyone else in the Hills cast of characters, should confront Brody Jenner about his past comments to Stephanie.

What planet do these people live on?  Am I missing something?  That's like going to your high school reunion and asking your husband to beat up the boy who flicked boogers at you.  What do Brody's past comments have to do with Stephanie's current boyfriend?  NOTHING.  There is no reason for her boyfriend to even raise the subject.  OK, maybe, maybe if Brody disrespected Stephanie in her boyfriend's presence or during the time they are dating - maybe then could we impose some obligation on this dude to do something.  But, really, he's dating Stephanie Pratt.  Cut the guy some slack.

People, I have a degree in Philosophy, with an emphasis on ethics, so I should know.

2.  And finally, if I were a single lady, I'd be pretty pissed that vapid girls like Audrina could throw away dreamy Australian hunks.  If I were a single lady, I'd book a Christmas Eve flight to Australia and hope for the best.

The Hills Rewind Vol. 2

I'm a little behind in my Hills recapping due to a general disdain for work that is ruining my life.  But today I took matters into my own hands and called out sick.  So I caught up on my t.v. shows, Hills included, and present my thoughts.

Never date a man who is rude to your mother.  Especially one who is flagrantly condescending on national television.  I hope Heidi watches the playback and gains some insight.  I cannot believe that any daughter with an ounce of respect for her mother could continue to date (in fact live with) a guy after watching her mother breakdown in tears over it.  Judging by the obnoxious plethora of canned photo-ops with "Speidi," I can only surmise that Heidi is an awful wretch of a person and she and Spencer were made for each other.

And I don't know who is the hotter mess - Stephanie or Doug.  I do know that whatever Whitney was wearing on her feet at Doug's party was rockin'.  

Finally, who could have guessed that Brody Jenner would be the moral compass of the show?  

That's the rewind.

The Hills Rewind Vol. 1

I'm launching another new feature to my blog: a weekly recap of my favorite guilty pleasure, The Hills.

So, should you date your friend's ex?  The short answer is "no."  But in all Hills quandaries, one must ask, "What would Whitney do?"  She most certainly would not date Doug.  Now, mind you, I'm relatively certain that the beautiful Whitney doesn't need to pick up her friends' sloppy seconds (in the words of Audrina), while the hot mess Stephanie probably does need to take what she can get.  However, that's no excuse for violating the code.  I'm starting to see the wisdom of Brody ~ that Stephanie Pratt is crazy and cannot be trusted.  And, seriously, what's with her even asking out loud whether Lauren would find out?  Of course she would find out ~ it's an f'ing television show!  She's clearly trying to dredge up drama for herself because she has an otherwise pathetic, uneventful life.  And what about Doug asking her what she's doing after this ("this" being their dinner date)?  Um, my guess is he's hoping the answer is "him."  

On another front, Heidi and Audrina talking is like watching Blonde Barbie and Brunette Barbie interact as choreographed by two four-year-olds voicing their lines.  

And Spencer in a hat is a look I hope never to see again.

That's the rewind.

p.s. ~ I missed parts of last season, but what happened to the dog Lauren and Lo bought?
