The Hills recap Episode 17 Once a Player

I really don’t think this “thing” between Lauren and Brody is going to happen. I think Brody likes her, but she is waaay too open. She tends to look like a lost little puppy dog when  he’s around and guys like Brody always have some like that around.  It seemed to me he was waiting for her to say something more. Im not telling you what to or whatever she said. Maybe he wanted her to tell him what to do. Maybe he wanted her to put herself out there so he could do the same. Whatev. Brody seemed like he was disapointed a little, but he’s a big boy. You most defenitely have to be more of a player than Lauren to deal with guys like Brody. I think she should just remain friends with him and leave it at that. I thought is was hysterical when they called him Dumb and Dumber. Haha!


In other non-coupling news, how happy are we that Audrina is moving on from JB? Corey seems nice (or at least courteous and clean) and he’s actually making an effort. I enjoyed Lauren giving him an upgrade (very nice corporate synergy, MTV. For those of you who don’t know what I am talking about you must check out Best Week Ever on VH1). I’m not really into piercings but I think he’s cute despite his mouth adornment. I liked that he actually took Audrina out on a date it sounds like it has been a while since she’s gone out. I liked that he seemed genuinely interested in what she had to say. They seem to have good rapport. JB set such a low standard she can’t help but be impressed by anyone who makes an effort. I hope he continues to treat her well. And if he doesn’t she better not put up with it. I’m glad she kissed him. Hopefully that kiss signals her readiness to move on.
A couple seemingly stuck in a bit of a quagmire is Heidi and Spencer. I feel like an end to their relationship can be nothing but a good thing. Despite that I feel a little bad for Spencer (I know, I know). Yes, he’s a d**che. Yes, he started the rumors about Lauren. Yes, he’s severed ties with his best friend for no good reason. But to hear that your fiancee is having doubts from someone other than your fiancee? That can’t be a good feeling. It was interesting to hear them each talk about what they’ve had to give up to make their relationship work. I also thought it was telling that Spencer thinks Heidi’s dragging her feet. These two have to decide if there’s anything worth saving. And why would Heidi confide in Stephanie? I know she doesn’t have any friends but did she seriously think her conversation with Spencer’s sister wouldn’t get back to him? And what’s with him leaving the apartment after a really bad fight? I can’t imagine she meant it when she told him not to come back. We’ll see how that never-ending drama plays out.Cameos: Lo and Jen Buney. I’d like to see more Lo. Jen Buney I can take or leave. I didn’t love Jen hugging Brody. Keep your hands off Lauren’s man. Well, I guess Lauren doesn’t want him either. A new thing I’m going to start doing is giving my own little review on some of the hot spots you guys see the cast hanging out at. These will be my personal reviews from experience since I live here as well, not something I read in Zagats.Lola’s Review:
Lola’s is a martini bar that has been open for a while now. It’s located on a main street, but can be hidden if you don’t know what it is.  The decor is very sexy, dark and spanish style. It is not uncommon to see celebrities hanging out there playing pool.  Lola’s is self proclaimed for having the best martini’s is town. I will admit that I like them. :) 

Lola’s Trivia:
One of the owner’s of Lola’s said they are the original creators of the infamous Green Apple Maritini.

Lola’s $$:
Martini’s average $16-$20.00 so have plenty of cash on hand if you want to hang with the big boys.

Overall, Lola’s gets 4 out of 5 stars from me.

Lauren Conrad dishes on dieting in Self Magazine

lauren conrad self magazine

Our very own Lauren Conrad is covering the new issue of Self Magazine and showing off a very toned physique. The MTV reality tv star admits she had some help with a personal trainer and this is what she had to say about her diet:

I used to love fast food, she says. Now I eat six small meals a day consisting mostly of fish, beans, and other protein, along with veggies.

I concur with Lauren. For our readers who are not located in Los Angeles, this is fast food heaven out here. It’s everywhere and on every corner. I myself had to go cold turkey. :) Kudos to Lauren!

The Hills recap Episode 16 A Night at the Opera

 lauren conrad and audrina

Big girls don’t cry. At least that’s what our mother’s tell us. Looks like it’s adios to Justin Bobby. Was I the only one shocked to see Justin Bobby making an effort at the end? I can’t believe he actually took a shower and washed his hair before he went to see Audrina. He must have known how much trouble he was in and he finally cared enough to make an effort. But it was way too little and way too late.I’m just glad he was stupid enough to kiss another girl in front of Audrina. It sounds like Audrina had been hearing rumors of Justin Bobby’s behavior and I am glad she got to see it first hand. It sucks that he pulled something like that in front of Lauren, Brody, and the gang (as well as new enemy Stephanie) but if it gets him out of her life forever, I’m glad. And what was that business about him trying to talk Audrina out of what she saw? Did he think she didn’t see him? It seemed like Justin Bobby thought only Audrina’s friends saw the kiss and he was trying to convince her it didn’t happen. And he was slick enough to try to pull the “your friends don’t like me” card. But not slick enough. It’s a good think Audrina actually saw his behavior or I fear she would have let him talk her out of it. I’ve got some advice for Justin Bobby regardless: If multiple people see you doing something don’t try to deny it. I hope to never mention his name again in this blog unless it’s as an example of a bad boyfriend and a d**che.

What did you make of Spencer’s sister Stephanie? I think her only true fan is Spencer. Did you see Heidi’s reaction when Stephanie suggested she could be the one to marry them? Or when Spencer and Stephanie started talking about destination weddings? And since when does being almost in-laws make you someones best friend? Clearly Heidi doesn’t abide by that rule. Stephanie should probably watch out. I think Heidi is only going to put up with so much from her. And have we ever been introduced to Roxy before? I didn’t think Heidi had any friends so I was a little surprised when Roxy was identified as such. And if Roxy is such a good friend of Heidi’s, why has Lauren never met her? I guess that friendship is too new.

So many questions! I think I’m going to keep it short tonight because I can’t wait to hear what you think about these developments. I do have one final question to you about that fateful night at Opera. Were you at all upset with Audrina for talking to Justin Bobby right after the kissing incident? I’m glad Audrina confronted the girl and Justin Bobby but I seriously started losing respect for her when she seemed to be listening to Justin Bobby’s excuses. Sometimes I don’t even understand the words coming out of his mouth. He may have perfected the art of talking gibberish and having people interpret those sounds in a positive way. Am I alone in thinking this? I was so sad for Audrina, but every girl has to experience her “bad boy” in her own way. God knows I have …

The Hills Episode 15 recap With this Ring

heidi spencer the hills

Was I the only one who got insanely happy with Heidi when she took her ring off? I don’t think we’ve heard Heidi talk too much about the kind of wedding she wants before tonight but even I knew Heidi wouldn’t be up for eloping. If I know this about Heidi what does that say about Spencer? Can Spencer be more condescending? I do have a question and I hope it’s not too spiteful. Other than their family just how many friends do they think will attend their wedding? Granted there seems to be a lot of creative editing and storytelling going on with this show but Heidi and Spencer don’t seem to spend any time with anyone but Heidi and Spencer. We’ll see how that develops.

Now, let’s talk about our girl Whitney. Am I the only one who was completely surprised by the news that Whitney broke up with someone in May? Where was he? I’ve never heard Whitney mention someone special and we certainly didn’t see him or hear about him. When did they start filming this season again? It’s just hard to believe he didn’t even make a cameo appearance. I guess all that talk about taking things slow and seeing what’s out there makes sense.

It’s kind of funny that I just did a post about Whitney and her appearance and then there’s Lauren going through her makeup bag trying to get her to spruce things up a bit as well. Ha ha! Jarett is a cutey, but looks a little older to me…I thought it was funny when they went up to Runyon Canyon and then he’s like “do some jumping jacks”.  WTH!  I’m only laughing because I do the Runyon Canyon thing myself 2-3 times a week, and trust, the last thing you want to do when you get to the top is some jumping jacks. Ha ha! He’s serious about his job and I thought he and Whitney were pretty cute together. I’m not sure if they have a lot in common but even Whitney admits she’s not looking for something serious.
