Audrina Patridge to "Make Love on the Dance Floor" in Hills-Themed Rumba Tonight

steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) — Mon, 18 Oct 2010 10:36:16 EST

As if Dancing With the Stars' ratings weren't high enough, Audrina Patridge and Tony Dovolani are prepared to really up the sensual factor this evening.

Their rumba will be "very passionate, sensual and sultry" she writes in her blog, with emotion that should feel akin to "making love on the dance floor."

Gulp. The choice of music feels a bit awkward to us, though.

RED HOT RUMBA: Get ready for it. Tonight.

In the TV-themed week, Dancing With the Stars producers picked the theme song to The Hills, "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield for Audzo and Tony.

"Every time I hear that song, it really brings back all those memories," she writes. "Now I get to create a new memory, and I'll never forget this either."

Poetic. Moreover, "Tony and I are going to bring everything that on The Hills – the drama, flirtation and relationship ups and downs – into our dance."

"Because we were always at the pool, by the beach or on vacation on The Hills, I was always wearing bikinis. So my costume this week is going to be inspired by bathing suits. Not exactly a bikini, but it's definitely inspired by them."

"My costume has a lot of chiffon and it's sparkly and hot pink, very girly and short. It's going to look really cute!" promises Patridge.

Boyfriend Corey Bohan will be there to cheer her on.

The devoted Corey "has been in the Dancing With the Stars audience every Monday and Tuesday," Audrina says. "He comes early and hangs out with me in my trailer, gives me a foot or back massage and then leaves to sit in the audience."

What a nice fella. No wonder he may pop the question.

Who are you rooting for on Dancing With the Stars?

Heidi Montag Files For Divorce; Spencer Pratt Calls Marriage a "Show" For The Hills

steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 10:18:14 EST

Ever since the first reports of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt splitting up, Hills fans understandably assumed wondered if it was another big PR hoax.

Looks like it isn't.

Almost two months after the plastic princess went to court seeking legal separation from the puppet master, the reality star has filed for divorce.

Heidi Montag cites the usual "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the pair's split in a divorce petition filed in Santa Monica, Calif., Court.

"Heidi has amended her petition for separation and has filed a petition for dissolution of marriage from Spencer Pratt," attorney Jodeane Farrell said. The couple has agreed they would like their divorce to be finalized in a timely manner."

Hopefully Spencer Pratt finds comfort in his beloved crystals.

Adding that terms will be hashed out in an out of court settlement, Farrell said "both parties are amicable with each other and finalizing the divorce."

The couple staged a sham wedding in Cabo in 2008, then tied the knot for real in April 2009 at a church in Pasadena, Calif., appearing happy.

Things went downhill fast, however.

Heidi Montag underwent 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day, fired Spencer as her manager, released terrible music, accused The Hills creator Adam DiVello of sexual harassment and became estranged from her family and so on.

For his part, Spencer Pratt has grown increasingly eccentric, and even admitted to being a fame whore and choosing his "career" over his wife.

Heidi Montag then and now. Enough said.

He echoed that sentiment yesterday to People.

"I love Heidi but our marriage was a show – it was part of The Hills world," Pratt said after the divorce filing. "That world is on a sound stage."

Referring to himself in the third-person, he adds: "It's clear that reality TV-fame-loving Spencer Pratt does not fit with my ex-wife Heidi Montag's ambitions for a motion picture actor/pop star career and being a single sex symbol for the world."

"Some say if you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen, Well, Heidi couldn't handle King Spencer's fame so she got out of the marriage."

Right. So basically, his stardom is just too enormous. Makes sense.

Kristin Cavallari on Lauren Conrad: We're Cool!

steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 10:16:25 EST

Given their history, Kristin Cavallari and Lauren Conrad may never be BFFs. But The Hills stars aren't exactly feuding, either. The two are "cool," Kristin says.

The two Laguna Beach beauties famously dated the same guy, Stephen Colletti, on the hit MTV reality show that spawned The Hills, which starred Conrad.

In a hilariously contrived move, Cavallari replaced LC as the protagonist and "narrator" of the series in 2009, when she decided to leave after five seasons.

Following The Hills series finale this week, the two reunited along with the whole cast, past and present, at the live after-show bash at the Roosevelt Hotel.

Despite what some think, the two don't hate each other at all.

A rare joint Lauren Conrad-Kristin Cavallari photo op!

"I saw her at the wrap party on Saturday and we caught up," Cavallari said at the after-show party, explaining that they're now cordial, but that's about it.

"We are not going to lunch together and I don’t have her phone number, but we are cool," adds Cavallari of Conrad, who's kept a low profile this past year.

Both girls also dated Brody Jenner at some point.

Speaking of that guy, whose fake relationship with Kristin was a primary, bogus story line this season, he's now with Avril Lavigne - but still close to Kristin.

"Our friendship is the most important thing and I don't think that anything will ever get in the way of that," says Cavallari, who's dating Miguel Medina.

Nice to see Kristin and LC on good terms. But if you had to pick ...

Kristin Cavallari, Brody Jenner Discuss The Hills' Climactic Scene, Fake Relationship

steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 15:14:40 EST

With tearful goodbyes, key story lines wrapped up and a post-show appearance by former star Lauren Conrad, much fanfare surrounded The Hills finale.

But while the live after-party (click here for cast photos) celebrated the six-season run, many fans were left scratching their heads about the last scene.

As Tuesday's episode drew to a close, Kristin Cavallari stepped into a waiting car destined for the airport, allegedly to catch a flight bound for Europe.

She left a tearful Brody Jenner behind, waving goodbye ... or not. The camera panned out to reveal the entire production crew, set and cameramen.

Did The Hills just punk viewers who ate this stuff up for six seasons, then rub their noses in it with an overt F-You to end the last of its 102 episodes?

That's what it felt like!

Brody Jenner and Kristin Cavallari make a good-looking fake couple.

"The thing is, as you saw at the end, what's real, what's fake, you don't know," Jenner said. "Our relationship, the entire time could have been fake. That's one of the questions: what was real and what was fake, and we left it [open]."

Kristin Cavallari said she enjoyed the way the show concluded: "I think we both couldn't have been happier with the ending. We were speechless."

The acting was pretty good, we'll admit.

Their co-star, Lo Bosworth, was equally impressed with the way The Hills finale came to an end: "You know when the last scenes of the show were happening, I got a little [lump] in my throat," she said. "They were great. I loved it."

Come on. While not every aspect of the show is fake (most likely), there's not much interpretation to do about Brody and Kristin. It was all fake, not real.

She's dating a Hills cameraman and knew full well he has been with Avril Lavigne. Which is fine, except that MTV always billed this as a reality show. Now they're admitting they script whatever they want, but with some profound point?

Please.

The Hills Cast Rocks Series Finale Party

steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 12:30:49 EST

The entire cast of The Hills, minus the vanquished Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, but including alumni Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port, commemorated the hit MTV series' final episode Tuesday night with one last bash in Hollywood.

So much has changed between The Hills finale and what began as a Laguna Beach spinoff 102 episodes ago. But it was great to see LC back, since she started it all.

On hand were the likes of Kristin Cavallari, Brody Jenner and Audrina Patridge, along with bit players Justin-Bobby, Lo, Stephanie, that Stacie girl and many more.

The Hills Finale Recap: The End of an Error

steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 09:14:45 EST

After six seasons of drama, The Hills ended its run on MTV in appropriate fashion, with cameras panning back to expose just how manufactured that drama is.

Old Man Spencer Pratt Tries, Fails to Crash The Hills Finale Party

steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 06:50:24 EST

Last night, fans said goodbye to The Hills as the very last episode of the hit MTV reality show aired. We'll have our full recap of it for you in a little bit.

The sideshow taking place was an entirely different matter. To mark the end of an error era, the cast gathered for a live show broadcast in Hollywood.

Spencer Pratt? Not invited.

Unsurprisingly, the fame-hungry outcast turned up anyway outside the Hotel Roosevelt, disguised in a gray wig and beard, wrinkles and a large gut.

Pretty funny, but also sad that he's resorted to such gimmicks. Desperate for attention much? It's like a pathetic, last gasp at any kind of relevance.

OLD AND GRAY: The Hills certainly felt that way by the end. Perhaps this is Spencer Pratt's point? Nah, he just wants attention. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

It wasn't long ago that Spencer caused the commotion. Now he clamors for attention across the street while the real action takes place inside.

Spencer was escorted out by security after trying to enter.

How the mighty have fallen. We're also pretty sure that's his sidekick Emilio Masella, a.k.a. Snooki's ex-boyfriend, behind him and to his right.

Kristin Cavallari: The Hills is Basically All Fake

steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 14:37:25 EST

Say it ain’t so ... even though we already basically knew! Kristin Cavallari confesses that the relationships you see on The Hills are - gasp - not exactly real. At all.

“Nothing you see on TV is real,” the 23-year-old tells People.

“Fans need to understand that it’s all entertainment," she adds. "It’s all in fun. I would never actually put my close friends or a real relationship on a show.”

Right ... why would a reality show be at all real. Obviously. Gotta love throwing your employer under the bus so blatantly. LeBron James would be proud.

That's basically what's going on here.

After almost a whole season in which Kristin has pined longingly for her ex Brody Jenner, she confesses that just maybe, that wasn't completely genuine.

FAKING IT: Kristin does with all the guys. On The Hills, that is.

Gee, you're kidding. Maybe we would be caught more off guard if we didn't know he was dating Avril Lavigne and she was with cameraman Miguel Medina.

There was also the whole Justin-Bobby thing from last season, which we were expected to buy, as if she would ever hang out with that loser in real life.

But we digress.

It was the "lightheartedness" that drew her back to reality TV after Laguna Beach, she says: “I was hurt by the way I was portrayed on Laguna Beach."

"So I took a break from that kind of stuff ... But when I decided to come back and do The Hills, I told myself that it’s just a job. It’s all work. It’s all fun.”

Indeed. Just don't take it the slightest bit seriously.

She says she won't dish further out of respect for fans: “I have such great fans, and I think a lot of them take the show seriously," Kristin Cavallari says.

"I don’t want to change their views," the supposed vixen adds. "Besides, since I want to be a producer, I don’t want to give away any production secrets.”

Producer of what? Cavallari has two reality shows in the works:“One will have similarities to The Hills, and one about fashion with some competition.”

As far tonight's The Hills series finale goes, it doesn’t sound like Cavallari has any regrets about her two-season stint on the long-running bogus MTV show.

“I feel like we all ended on a high note, we all had a great time, and I plan to stay friends with pretty much everyone,” she says - including Lauren Conrad.

“I just saw Lauren on Saturday at The Hills wrap party,” Cavallari says. “It was good to see her. When we see each other, we say hi and catch up a bit.”

Spencer Pratt to Crash The Hills Finale?

steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 10:10:30 EST

Spencer Pratt has been very ... well, non-Spencer Pratt lately.

Uncharacteristically absent from the spotlight, he hasn't been seen in public in over a month, or on The Hills, where he and Heidi Montag were cut loose without any explanation from the show, which ends its six-season run tonight.

Might he be planning a surprise - and unwelcome - public foray this evening? Implying he may crash The Hills finale party, he Tweeted on Tuesday:

“Booking my room @Roosevelt Hotel Hollywood now that I have no place to live I think i should just move in there today (to) stay near the action.”

No place to live? We know he looks like a homeless man, but is Spencer Pratt really out on the street? At least he's comfortable as a mountain man ...

If Spencer Pratt does crash The Hills' live post-finale bash, we hope he bursts on stage dressed like this. Fingers crossed. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]

Wouldn't you know it, the Hollywood Roosevelt is the site of tonight’s finale party, for which Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are not on the guest list.

Kristin Cavallari, Brody Jenner and other stars will be on hand, along with the show's two most famous alumnae, Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port.

No Speidi, though, after clashes with Hills creator Adam DiVello on and off set led to an unceremonious, unexplained parting of ways with the show.

Heidi's also moving forward with plans to divorce him, supposedly.

Cavallari calls the situation “sad,” and says as far as she knows, no one has spoken to either member of the duo since they last filmed together.

“I’ve reached out to Heidi,” says Kristin, who fixed up Speidi. “I can’t get a hold of her because she changed her number. I'd love to talk to her.”

The Hills Recap: Brody Jenner is "Seeing Someone"

steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 09:58:55 EST

As we gear up toward what can only be described as an epic series finale July 13, the penultimate episode of The Hills certainly featured a lot of things going on.

Some of them possibly even real!

Heidi Montag's sister Holly and Darlene Egelhoff, their mom, lamented that Heidi has gone totally off the rails. They've been trying to reach her but can't.

Kristin Cavallari puts it all out there and says she has feelings for Brody Jenner, but he isn't really reciprocating the fake love. Lo and Stephanie also star.

Here's THG's recap of Tuesday's The Hills, "Loves Me Not" ...

O RLY? YA RLY: Brody ignores Kristin and texts "someone else."

Stephanie, Lo and Holly talk about the ca-ra-zy drama that went down in Costa Rica over lunch. Gotta rehash all the details, and totally naturally. Plus 5.

Brody says he's hanging out with a new girl. How come The Hills calls "Ryan Cabrera" by first and last name, yet won't say Avril Lavigne at all? Minus 5.

Brody's friend Josh, who races motorcycles, introduces himself to Stephanie Pratt, and the pair have an instant connection - they don't drink. Plus 4.

Holly Montag picks her mom up from the airport. They'll have to wait for Heidi to come around. Minus 3 for falsely getting our hopes up for Speidi, Hills.

Kristin tells Stacie how Brody wants to talk and it's, like, her chance to finally tell him how she feels. Minus 6, because it's really the producers' chance.

SIDEKICK STEPH: She-Pratt's falling fast and hard for a new man.

Holly tries calling, but her voicemail isn't activated. We're sure that's real, much like Spencer's apology to LC, which she wasn't actually listening to. Minus 5.

Scott surprises Lo on their one year anniversary by asking her if she wants to move in together. Plus 7, because while we really don't care, they're very sweet!

Kristin lays it all out there. Brody says he's sorry, but he's met someone else. Minus 14 because we know this, and Kristin does too, and it's a famous musician.

Nearly lost for words, Darlene tells Holly that since Heidi Montag has been gone, it feels like she's mourning the loss of a child. Not at all melodramatic. Plus 8.

Kristin cries when she tells Lo that Brody rejected her and is seeing someone else. Bull$h!t, since she's dating Miguel Medina, a Hills cameraman! Minus 20.

TOTAL: -27. SEASON: -41.
