The Hills Recap: "When Lauren's Away"

thehollywoodgossip.com - 23rd Sep 2008

Lauren Conrad: EDITOR'S NOTE: While The Hills is usually totally predictable due to the deluge of paparazzi photos / spoilers online, we totally did not expect Doug Reinhardt to be cock-blocked by Brody Jenner's mom. Best surprise plot twist ever!As this episode of The Hills gets underway, Lauren Conrad packs for a trip to Italy. The reason for the trip is never explained. Nor does it matter.Like five seconds after LC leaves, Stephanie Pratt arrives to tell Audrina Patridge about how Doug Reinhardt asked her out. Audrina suggests to Stephanie that she wait until Lauren gets back and just give her a little heads up.Audrina and Lo - who are apparently getting along better these days - have lunch and Audrina her in about the Stephanie-Doug Reinhardt date sitch.Lo is flabbergasted. Audrina says that's a no-no, then wonders aloud why Stephanie Pratt would want sloppy seconds. Audrina's words, not ours!THE VOICE OF REASON: For once, it was Audrina Patridge talking sense into people (or at least trying to) on this typically drama-filled episode of MTV's The Hills.That night at Goa, Audrina and Lo are chillin' when whaddaya know, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag arrive! Heidi says hi to Auds, who seems genuinely happy to see her. Lo, however, looks like she wants to stab herself in the eye with a fork.Heidi, like, cannot believe about Doug Reinhardt and Stephanie Pratt either, then invites Audrina and Lo to a Bolthouse X-Games Party the next night. There they hang out with Justin-Bobby, who's looking like an even bigger d-bag than usual!Later, even Spencer is telling Stephanie that the date is a bad idea, but she's not getting the message. She goes through with the date, and it's clear by what she's wearing that this is no "friends" kinda date. Oh no.At dinner, Stephanie asks Doug about Brody Jenner - y'know, Doug's pal, and the guy who hates her and everything. They move on to how she didn't tell Lauren Conrad about the date, and then Doug asks - ever so subtly - what she's doing afterwards.Dude is a smooth operator, or at least thinks he is.Suddenly, Brody's mom - yes, Linda Thompson - arrives at the restaurant and awkwardly says hi to both of them. Brody and Spencer are old friends, and he's now friends with Doug, so she knows both. Man, talk about awkward!Lauren Conrad gets home from Italy and hears the deets on Doug from Audrina and Lo. Even though you knew it was coming, her reaction was priceless.That night, Lauren and Brody go out to dinner and he fills her in, saying Doug called it a "business dinner" to him but that his mom totally busted them. Brody calls it "ironic," which is not the correct usage of the word at all, but whatevs. We get the point. Read full story at thehollywoodgossip.com

The Hills Fashion Quiz: Episode 7, "When Lauren's Away"
You know what they say: When the cat's away, the mice will play. And boy did the mice play on last night's episode of The Hills when Lauren was away on vacation in Italy. First, Audrina got chummy with Heidi and planned to meet with her for lunch, then Stephanie went on a date with Doug. Major no-no. But not all of it was bad. At least Audrina and Lo made an attempt to hang out sans Lauren. Of course, crap hit the fan when the cat returned home, but let's focus on the positive: their clothes. Be sure to

A Revealing Glimpse Into the Design of Metallica’s ‘Death Magnetic’ CD Packaing
In an age when so many people are getting their music online, artists are having to come up with inventive ways to convince fans to buy their CDs. One method is the tried and true “bonus CD.” The idea here is that DVDs take much longer to copy online and require much computer space than CDs, and that, if the visual accompaniment is enticing enough, fans will decide the complete product is worth their hard earned cash. Then there’s the “free t-shirt with CD purchase” promotion

You Can't Escape The Beastwizard! (As If You'd Want To) [Sarah Connor Chronicles Recap]
newVideoPlayer("/beastwizard1_io9.flv", 506, 423,""); This moment from last night's Sarah Connor Chronicles illustrates perfectly why the Terminator spin-off show is one of the most inventive and bizare on television. Our bad Terminator has stolen the identity of an out-of-work actor, George Lazlo, and then gone and wasted 20 FBI agents to the strains of Johnny Cash. Now Lazlo is being blamed for the massacre, and his old direct-to-video sword-and-sandal movies are becoming cult classics as a result. It ma

newVideoPlayer("/Hills_Lauren_Return.flv", 506, 423,""); What ineffable mists of strangeness were those that wafted o'er The Hills last night? Ah yes, they were summoned by the fact that Lauren, the star of this muddled reality show about Angeleno fashion zombies, was away in Italy, leaving the lesser characters to rush in and fill her void. And fill it they did (metaphorically speaking, ain't nobody up in LC's void foreal). Audrina and Lo palled around, Audrina and Heidi palled around, and Spencerina went

Greatest Song At This Moment - Johnny Cash's "Ghost Riders In The Sky"
Referring to Johnny Cash as a fixture doesn't do his legend justice. To someone like me, I was surprised to learn he had any kind of origin. Normal people came from mothers and had human histories. Johnny Cash felt like he had always been here, and I don't mean that in a he-started-before-I-was-born kind of way, although he certainly was. I mean that Johnny Cash has more in common with an old sequoia or a mountain or Lake Michigan than with, say, Bob Dylan. This probably comes from a weird kind of assumptio

BENCH WARRANT OUT FOR DAMON DASH'S EX: Son's mother still won't bring teen back to mogul, who has full custody.

After several days of ignoring court orders to bring the child back to Dash's Manhattan apartment, the judge issued a bench war

Victoria Beckham brought her favorite Hermes Birkin handbag outdoors when she became a soccer Mom. Brooklyn played football at an event and his Mom was there on the bench cheering him on. Beckham wore orange and gold colored sandals to match her Birkin. One typical bag from Birkin cost $15,000. Posh Spice sat at the bench and placed her Birkins on her lap. The strategic positioning enabled her to hold down her skirt which could suffer some flapping in the strong wind. Posh chose her bag to match her out
