Lauren aka ‘Lo’ Bosworth is seen here joining a host of celebrities while they party hearty at the popular L.A. hotspot the Crown Bar. And what we know of Lauren is that she is one of the more opinionated girls of The Hills and she is never afraid to speak her mind, or purse her lips accordingly when she finds someone doing something she disapproves of. Ah yes, we all know that ‘hm.’ she gives when someone says something she finds a little out of sorts, and you can’t help but wonder what is going through her head when she gives the disapproving tsk tsk. My, what a great mom Lo will make one day! And with this quality in her that we have all come to know and love, she has vocalized some thoughts on the Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag marriage. She says she was surprised to learn that her costars on The Hills got married in Mexico in a private ceremony, and did so after an evening of champagne and tequila. On The Hills: Live After the Show Monday night, Lauren said:

“I always thought they were going to get married. I just didn’t know when. I thought she always wanted a big, beautiful event wedding in L.A. I was surprised it turned out the way it did actually.”

On the show, Lauren told the world that she heard of the Montag marriage at the same time, and in the same way that we all did, on the Internet. She was very surprised by the alcohol fuelled chain of events when she saw the show air where Spencer had suggested that he and Heidi get married after they had been in the Patron all night. After they had discussed the idea, the two even ordered more Patron, as Heidi so eloquently put it, ‘you know what Patron does to me, it gets me crazy.’ Lauren thought it was hysterical that Heidi needed some tequila to make the final call, the Patron push she called it. She wasn’t too sure if she was drunk when they actually got married, but knows they were the night before when the decision was made. But at the end of the day, Lo does believe that regardless of the how’s or the why’s, that Heidi and Spencer will be married forever. Tough to say when you are dealing with a control freak and a girl that doesn’t seem to make her own decisions, but again, for this very reason this could be a match made in heaven.

I almost want to say that well, hell has frozen over, but I guess we’ve seen this coming. Oh yes, we all cringed when they got engaged, and have been in a state of frozen cringe ever since, but the inevitable has happened. Yes, Spencer Pratt finally coerced Heidi into attaching herself to him in the most permanent and legally binding way by marrying Heidi in a private elopement this past weekend. And when we say private, we mean private, as not even Heidi’s family was made aware.

For those of you that follow The Hills, you may have seen Heidi’s sister Holly on the After Show last night, where she tearfully stated that she was a little hurt by the whole thing but will always be there for Heidi no matter what. Oh yes, Holly flew into the studio to film the After Show not having a clue about Heidi’s nuptials, and when she got off the plane her phone was bombarded with the news that Heidi and Spencer were on the cover of US proudly showing off their newlywedded bliss. Yeah, that’s gotta sting. But nobody knew anything, which seemingly may all boil down to more of Spencer’s control and hideousness.

Oh this always happens to the shows you love, and the characters you love the most doesn’t it? Whitney Port was always one of my faves from The Hills because she seemed to be the only one that ever had her head on straight. And this groundedness may be just the reason that she is leaving The Hills. But you won’t be missing her for too long, as the rumors that she is kicking into a Hills spinoff are true. We have seen Whitney do the bicoastal lifestyle for a while now with her new job at People’s Revolution, and it turns out that the bicoastal thing is turning into a permanent move for her, but not with People’s Revolution. The result for her fans? A spinoff to The Hills known as naturally, The City. The City will follow Whitney as she makes the permanent move to the Big Apple, works in a fashion house, reunites with old friends, and revamps her love life. Now THAT will be something I look forward to, I always thought this girl deserved a little more fun than we were seeing. But Whitney will no longer be working for People’s Revolution which may be a good thing for her. Nope, she is moving on up the fashion ladder and will be working for another female powerhouse, none other than Diane Von Furstenberg. Oh, my heart! Could I BE any more jealous? At any rate, this new job and new life will be very exciting for Whitney, and for her fans. As we know, The Hills itself is a spinoff to Laguna Beach, when LC, the affectionate nickname of Lauren Conrad won over fans and moved to The Hills to pursue work at Teen Vogue. Incidentally, nobody in Lauren’s real life actually call her that, but you know how these things stick. I am sure we will see Whitney end up with a few nicknames for herself as well…in the meantime, she’s giving us something great to look forward to!

From what we have seen the last few episodes of The Hills, Audrina Patridge and Lauren Conrad seemed to have patched things up a little bit when it comes to the ever growing bridge in their friendship. Though recent events seem to indicate otherwise, and it seems that the two may even be fighting over a boy. Yes, this is interesting news of late, considering Lauren is ticked at Stephanie for doing the unthinkable and chasing down one of her exes, but wellll….Lauren may have broken her own friendship rule when it comes to Audrina’s man. We’ve seen Audrina hanging out with Justin Bobby quite a bit, both last season and this season, but there is no exclusive arrangement between the two, and Audrina has enjoyed much time with other boys. And Lauren has capitalized on this, we think, and the two are ‘sparring’ with each other on their MySpace pages. This has all been due to some Internet rumors that Lauren has been hooking up with Justin, and this is what Audrina has to say via MySpace:

“These rumors are very confusing and hurtful,” she writes in a post on Friday. “I’m not sure what to believe,” she writes, noting that she and Justin Bobby “have not been exclusive for quite some time.”

But what is really going on between Audrina and Justin? They still seem to be going hot and heavy, so why doesn’t she just ask HIM? Oh right, because men are so honest, right? Well you know. Those two WERE spotted at West Hollywood’s Crown bar just recently where onlookers said they were inseparable all night, and were giggling and hand holding and doing all sorts of crazy things together. So if Justin can’t be honest, Lauren wants to set the record straight.

“This accusation is insulting on so many levels. I’m being accused of being a bad friend, a slut and a liar all at once. It would actually be funny to me if people weren’t taking it seriously. I did not and would never hook up with Justin.”

So that was Lauren’s message to the public. What did she have to say to Audrina?

“We promised we wouldn’t let people get into our ears and make us fight,” she wrote. “You KNOW I didn’t do this and I have never given you a reason not to trust me. What you are doing is hurtful and I don’t want to fight with you.”

Hmmm…sounds like the two have some issues to work out. And since they are supposed to kind of be BFF, they may want to take this out of the public eye and just DEAL. Of course then, what would WE have to talk about?

Here we have one of those shows that is pure marketing genius. It’s one of those new old shows, you know, a show revisited and revamped from the past. The CW is garnering both old fans and new fans from their demographic pool, and since hot teens with too much money on their hands seems to be a fantastic niche in today’s prime time programming, 90210 is touted to be a success. Those that loved the old version (it’s ok to say you did, it WON’T age you) will enjoy seeing former originals making guest star appearances, while those that are newcomers to the Hills of Beverly will love the hot new cast. And this season seems to have all the ingredients the show needs to be a big time hit. Will it bump out similar shows like The Hills and Gossip Girl? Still too soon to tell at this point, as the young starlets on 90210 still have a little bit to prove. The show kicked off the season last week with a hot 2 hour season opener with all the good stuff – the good girl, the bad girl, the good guy, the bad guy, and an interesting development with the standard teen drama love triangle. Other characters that make this show interesting are the classic high school girl that is so ‘misunderstood’ with our character of Silver, and a heavy mix on the plotlines in the adult lives, something you won’t see on either Gossip Girl or The Hills. Last night’s episode focused more on what was going on with the more mature generation, making sure to hang on to those old fans demographics, while the young teen triangle was definitely there to remind the newer fans that no, we haven’t forgotten you. Original cast members like Jennie Garth as the former bad girl gone good, and Shannon Doherty all combine to make this for a very interesting show to keep an eye on. And because this show is more new than old, it is hard to say how this one will fare, but I would have to say, there is a very good chance at giving Gossip Girl and The Hills a run for their money. Should a new It Girl or Boy arise from this hot new cast, it would not surprise me in the least. Keep watching, you will see this one gain momentum, just don’t forget the friends you love to hate on the Upper East Side while you are at it….

Yes, it is just getting more exciting as time passes, doesn’t it? We are just a few very short weeks away to the end of summer, and with that will come the hottest season opener this year. The season of Gossip Girl will start September 1st boys and girls so be sure to have your TiVos and your DVR’s tuned if you can’t make it. We’ve already given you a few teasers of Gossip Girl, but now you can have a look at actual frames taken off of the first episode. What is going to happen here is anyone’s guess, and I know, or can guess, as much as you can from the looks of the frames. It looks like we have Blair and Evil Chuck Bass exchanging heated words in a way that only Chuck and Blair can do. Serena herself also seems to be a little irritated with her former main squeeze, Dan, but she doesn’t seem to mind cozying up to former flame Nate at one point, now does she? And from all accounts, it appears we have a guest in our midst as well. With every season a new hot chick arrives on scene causing a whole hot mess of trouble, and it looks like she’s got her eyes set on Nate first. Who will be more miffed? Serena? Blair? What does Gossip Girl know about it all? You won’t be able to find out until September 1st, so keep your eyes peeled while we bring you every tidbit we can. You know you love it…xoxo

We’ve already teased you a little bit with what is about to happen when Gossip Girl returns from summer hiatus and hits your little screen again come September 1. There is no question that this season is even going to be more scandalous than ever before. And viewers will certainly be kept guessing about who is with who, who isn’t, and who is BACK with who. Who do you think? It looks like both Blair and Sabrina will be kept very busy when it comes to man hopping but it’s hard to tell which man they will be hopping with. To launch the new season, the CW is kicking off a new ad campaign that is making some waves. The campaign is a backlash to the Parents Television Council which has blasted Gossip Girl for content they considered salacious and that they said is too scandalous for younger viewers on network television. The Council used phrases such as ‘A nasty piece of work’, ‘Every parent’s nightmare’, and ‘mind blowingly inappropriate’. Well it seems the CW liked the catch phrases and are using them to entice fans and new viewers to see just how mind blowingly inappropriate the show really is. And well, I have to say, I don’t know if I would use the word inappropriate, but scandalous is definitely up there. Here are some shots of the ads that have leaked out, and another teaser of the upcoming season after the jump.
