Like OMG! LC totally like moved to West Hollywood and was like “Hey Heidi!” and Heidi was like “Meet my new bestie Audrina!” and then LC was like “I want to be an intern for Teen Vogue” and Teen Vogue was all “Just don’t sit down at the party!” and LC was like “For real?” and Heidi was all, “Nuh-uh” and LC was like “Guys! You’ll get me in trouble!” Whatevs!
Yes, The Hills has officially arrived. Serving as the first spin-off of Laguna Beach, the show premiered on MTV tonight, and while there’s none of that high school je ne sais quoi, I still found myself regrettably enthralled by the silly antics of Lauren Conrad and her fledgling career. Plus, who can deny the gleeful idiocy of LC’s new sidekick, Heidi? The girl makes Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson seem like future candidates for the Nobel Prize. Ah yes. It shall be a delightful summer.The big show opened up with LC packing up her bags and heading out of The ‘Guna. My Tivo unfortunately cut off all but the last few seconds of this, but I imagine I didn’t miss much beyond some lame narration about moving to Los Angeles. As she drove off in her car, I could almost hear the Natasha Beddingfield playing in my ears. Oh wait, I really was hearing it. Yes, the credits soon rolled and were set to that life-empowering ditty, “Unwritten.” You know, the song that encourages us to feel the rain on our skin. I never knew that sensory awareness of precipitation was such an integral key to self-empowerment, but hey, what do I know?
Anyway, the credits offered up some tasty clues as to who this season’s main players would be. There was Lauren, of course. No longer “LC,” but we’ll still call her that. We then saw… Audrina, or as I like to call her, “Girl with the dumb name.” And there was Morgan S.! I didn’t know she was on this show! Oh wait, it was just a girl named Whitney. Rounding out the cast was the aforementioned Heidi, and that was it. Just four girls! No boys or other random people. I find this very suspect. Maybe the producers are trying to emulate a Sex in the City core. Except dumber.
Well, this premiere episode had the very Laguna-esque title, “New City, New Drama.” What great adventures would await? Might LC chip a nail? Would Heidi become baffled by a parking meter? Or would the girls find themselves at a Fro-Yo shop without their punch card??? The possibilities were endless!
Anyway, we saw various footage of LC’s new neighborhood, and yes, I was quite happy to note that apparently this show was filmed five blocks away from my apartment. How the hell did I miss this?? I was so busy eating crickets and playing Dance Dance Revolution that I completely overlooked the Laguna alums in my ‘hood. Note to self: stalk LC later tonight.
Nevertheless, we found LC sauntering into her new abode at the Hillside Villas, and guess who was tanning by the pool? The one and only Heidi. Some people may not remember Heidi, but she showed up from time to time on Laguna, usually to offer sidekick-y advice to LC and ask banal, plot-advancing questions like “So, what’s up with you and Steven? Are you going to have dinner together?”
Anyway, Heidi was more than thrilled to see LC (a.k.a. her ticket to fame). “I was so lonely!” Heidi squealed. Translation: “I can’t wait to be your high profile sidekick! What shall we do first, Master?”
Apparently Heidi had been at the apartment for some time but hadn’t actually moved in. She wanted to do it with LC — sort of like a bonding thing. Read all about it and other bonding techniques in the book, “Bonding for IDIOTS.” Nevertheless, the girls walked into their apartment, and I instantly hated them. They had a freakin’ duplex. Okay, I’m not going to whine. It’s great that their parents have worked hard so that they can provide for their kids, but seriously, a duplex? Excuse me while I writhe with jealousy in the corner for a moment.
Before LC could even absorb the magnitude of her new digs, her cell phone rang, and yes, that ringtone was Journey’s “Anyway You Want It.” Delightful. LC answered the call, and while we couldn’t hear the conversation on the other end, we could tell by LC’s dilating pupils that something major was happening. Turns out that, like OMG, Teen Vogue had an event that night and the interview LC was going to have that afternoon was now in like twenty minutes!! OMG!!! This wasn’t set up at all!!
Oh, I forgot to mention that LC was interviewing for a Teen Vogue internship. Hmmm… Wonder if she’ll get it?
Well, with the pressure on to get to the Teen Vogue offices, what else was there to do but cue the Rihanna and watch LC hustle into a tall office building on Wilshire Avenue. Oh the hectic life of a young ingenue in the city!
We then met LC’s future boss, the editor of Teen Vogue, Lisa Love. Yes, that was her name. She wasn’t as scary and disturbing looking as 8th and Ocean’s Irene Marie, but she still managed to be a bit off-putting. Whereas Irene was like a collagen version of Janice from The Muppet Show, Lisa Love had more of a wrinkly, WASPy appearance. Kind of like a long lost Shriver.
Anyway, Lisa pressed LC with tough questions. “Why Teen Vogue?” she asked. I kind of expected LC to just say, “Uh, I have an MTV camera crew. That’s why.” But instead, LC went the earnest route and said, “I’ve read Vogue for years, and I love Teen Vogue because that’s where I get ideas for everything I do. And I like that it does have all the fashion, and like in every one they have like an issue that affects teens.” Ah, well-stated, LC. It’s that sort of precise articulation that will make you the belle of the literary world.
Lisa then asked, “Can you write?” To which LC, of course, said yes. Then in a neat ironic twist, Lisa followed up by asking, “Good?” Nice grammar, EDITOR. You’re supposed to ask if people write well, not good. I’m onto you, Lisa Love.
Anyway, LC replied, “I enjoy writing.” Unfortunately for LC, I’m not sure if she realized that “writing” did not include emails, texting, and IMs.
After this rigorous interrogation, LC returned to the apartment complex where she found Heidi tanning yet again, but this time, there was a giant slab of beef jerky wearing a bikini next to her. Oh wait. That was actually another girl. “This is my first new friend in LA!” Heidi proudly announced, introducing LC to this tantastic mystery girl. Turns out this was the one and only Audrina, and from what we could tell, she was just as vapid as her name would suggest. “What intern did you apply for?” she asked LC. InternSHIP. InternSHIP. Sigh.
Anyway, for whatever reason, Heidi loved Audrina and said, “You’re adopted!” Countdown to catfights and general bitching: three weeks.
Later, LC and Heidi and Audrina and various guys (boyfriends, roommates of boyfriends, etc.) all met up at the always wonderful restaurant Geisha House (the very same establishment where Mischa Barton was Punk’d. Oh how she’ll rue the day that she ever went there!). There, the gang talked about how craaaazy it was to have a full time job and blah blah blah, we went to commercial wondering whether or not LC would get the internship. What ever might happen?
After the break, we found LC and Heidi visiting FIDM, or as the non-acronym-ites call it, the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. Apparently the girls were enrolling for classes there, or something like that. As they waited in some sort of lobby, Heidi mused, “I can’t wait to start going out more.” Yeah, she needs an outlet from her stressful day of tanning and adopting fellow dolts to join her coven of idiocy.
Anyway, an incredibly tall woman named Susan Aronson soon greeted both girls and said she would interview each of them at a time. I don’t know how to describe Susan. I guess if Kathy Baker and Karen Hayes from 24 had a love child, it would be Susan Aronson. Well, first up for the interviews was LC, and of course, Susan fawned over her. Let’s not forget that LC had two seasons of MTV stardom under her belt at this point.
“We are very proud of you,” Susan said. I don’t really know why she was proud, but she just was. She did mention something about a grade point average, but whatever. She was just kissing ass, as evidenced by her telling LC that she was so lucky to be in contention for an internship at Teen Vogue. When it came to Heidi, however, it was a different story. Susan asked her how she was as a student in high school, and Heidi gave possibly one of the worst responses short of saying, “I murdered everyone I knew.”
“I never learned anything. I never went to school. I never did anything. I just went shopping and just hung out,” Heidi said. She then added, “Did I mention that I’m a total and complete MORON?”
Keep in mind that this was an admissions interview.
“Have you looked at the curriculum?” Susan then asked.
“No,” Heidi answered proudly, as if that would earn her some medal. When asked about her goals, Heidi then said, “I want to do PR… I want to be the fun party PR girl in LA type of thing… kind of like the party scene.” I can only imagine the sort of shame her parents feel. Actually, what’s sad is that they probably don’t feel shame. They’re just happy their daughter is on TV. I’m embarrassed for humanity right now.
Well, Susan explained in a slow, deliberate way (kind of how you talk to first graders) that it usually takes someone being in the industry a long time before they can organize parties at a professional level.
“Really? It’s not like right away?” Heidi asked. Yes, Heidi. Sometimes you actually have to work towards things. Like, you know, any basic career. Susan asked Heidi if she’d be willing to work retail, but NO. Fräulein Heidi works for NO ONE! Retail was out of the question!
“Am I seriously talking to this girl?”
“I’m daft!”
Afterwards, we found the girls chilling at their apartment, no doubt plotting Heidi’s next big career move (which was most likely a difficult choice between tanning poolside or eating a carrot stick). Suddenly LC’s phone rang, and uh oh! It was Chantal! I didn’t know who Chantal was, but I could tell it was important. Apparently, Chantal was calling from Teen Vogue, and guess what? She was getting BLAINE on the line! BLAINE! Wait, who was Blaine?
Turns out Blaine was another Teen Vogue person, and he was calling to give LC “feedback” on her interview with Lisa Love. “There are not a lot of interns that we find that are ready at the age of nineteen,” he said, adding, “But you have a TV show and will give us tons of free publicity; so, you’re hired!” Okay, he didn’t say that. However, he did babble on about how their interns had to be great writers and have lots of experience, and while LC probably didn’t fit the bill at all, Lisa saw lots of potential (cough, publicity, cough) and you’re hired. “We think it might be a good match,” Blaine said, a look of disgust on his face. You could just tell he was thinking, “I worked my way up for ten years and this damn girls just waltzes in…”
Well, LC accepted the job right there on the spot, and no one was happier than Heidi. This raised her sidekick prominence to a whole new level! We then followed LC to the Teen Vogue offices where we met another intern, the aforementioned Whitney. Might she be a rival for LC? Or perhaps a competing sidekick for Heidi? Either way, the two girls took seats in their cramped, cluttered office (which may or may not have been located in Anna Wintour’s walk-in closet). Whitney began yammering away right off the bat, and LC did her patented Distant Smile of Complexity. Disaster soon struck, however, when one of LC’s errant fingers pressed the on-button of a nearby Mac, causing the machine to chime to life. OH NO! The girls panicked for about two seconds, but soon they had bigger fish to fry: namely, an androgynous woman named Olivia, who was apparently the magazine’s resident stylist. Within seconds, Olivia was assessing the girls’ fashion, making adjustments and saying dumb things like “I feel like it’s a bit too matchy-matchy.”
Perky!
Once the girls were deemed Vogue-ready, they were then brought into Lisa Love’s office where they learned all the ground rules. Basically, they were to act professionally no matter where they were — in or out of the office. They represented the company, and if they were to get into any trouble, their ass would be grass. Well, not LC. She had a camera crew. But Whitney. You watch your back!
Later, the girls were given their first big job: send out 500 invitations for a party. Gosh, haven’t the people at Vogue heard of Evite? Nevertheless, the girls began the arduous process of assembling these invites, pausing to occasionally gawk at the celebrities on the list. Josh Duhamel! Gavin DeGraw! I’m sure LC will be thrilled when she sees Stephen Colletti and Kristin Cavallari on the list too. “Hey, wait a second. I went to high school with those guys…”
The next day, we found Heidi and LC lounging by the pool again, and here’s a shocker: Heidi wanted LC to get her into that Teen Vogue party. The same one that Josh Duhamel and Gavin DeGraw would be at. Not so fast, Heidster. In case you weren’t paying attention, this was your friend’s first week at the job. “I’m not going to like mess up my internship and do something shady just like to go to a party,” LC told her.
“Yeah…” Heidi replied, all broken-hearted. Ah, nothing as sad as a sidekick’s dreams of grandeur going up in smoke.
Back at the office later, we found LC and Whitney giggling about something until suddenly, there were a series of “SHHHHH!” noises. Yes, LISA LOVE HAD ENTERED THE ROOM. I love how intimidating she’s supposed to be. I really can’t take her seriously though with that name. I mean, “Lisa Love”? Doesn’t she know that any fashion editor can’t have alliteration in her name? She needs to change it to something French-sounding. Whatever she chooses, she has to make sure she no longer sounds like a) a country star; b) a porn star; or c) Lisa Loeb. I throw it out to the readers to suggest their favorite alternate last names for Lisa Love. I’ll get the ball rolling with “Bontemps.”
Anyway, Lisa alerted LC and wh-wh-wh-Whitney that they would be working the party tonight (like OMG!) BUT this was not a time to have fun and hang out. They’d be doing their jobs, and if any of them even THOUGHT about sitting down, they’d be outta there. That’s right. NO SITTING. Sounds simple enough…
Cut to the party at the Roosevelt Hotel, and all the glitteratti were there! Nicole Ritchie! Some guy! Paris Hilton! Wow! How exciting! Turns out that Whitney would be working the door/red carpet while LC would be guarding the VIP area. “No one can sit here,” Blaine told LC, pointing at a nearby seating area. That’s right, GUARD THESE OTTOMANS WITH YOUR LIFE!!
Almost on cue, rebellious sidekick Heidi suddenly called up, and hey, by the way, she was downstairs! “What are you doing here, Heidi?” LC asked. DUH! She was there to potentially jeopardize your high profile job so that she could partaaay!!!
“Just sneak us in,” Heidi insisted. How about you just get shot in the head? Go away, shrew!
I was really hoping that LC would be firm with her friend and tell her to head elsewhere, but alas, LC finally told her sidekick to speak to Whitney at the front door. A few phone calls later, and Whitney surreptitiously let Heidi and her gaggle of friends (including Audrina) into the party. You can’t tell me that the Vogue execs didn’t expect this.
Well, what was the first thing that Heidi did? No, not quietly blend to keep her friend out of trouble. Instead, she ran across the party and squealed a loud hello to LC (which was of course topped off with a grandiose hug). Oh, I’m sure Lisa Love will enjoy that. To make matters worse, the HeidiGaggle then happily sat down in LC’s VIP area. WHAT?!?! Get them out of there! I don’t know why I was so concerned for LC, but I just was. But wait: it got worse. Then LC sat down with her friends. What was the one thing that Lisa Love emphasized? NO SITTING AND HANGING OUT! This was going to be pure disaster.
Suddenly, there was some random Heidi drama with one of the guys (I really didn’t know what it was, nor did I care enough to go back and find out). All I knew was that Heidi was now drunk and screaming. From across the party, we could tell that Blaine was not happy. He soon came over and asked what all the drama was about.
“Oh, it was just, they were fighting, but you can see it’s all better. They were just fighting over something. But now they’re fine,” LC said, pointing to Heidi who was not only crying, but crying in the prohibited VIP area. Yeah, no drama here!
Drama? What drama?
Blaine then wandered away, and LC implored her friends to stop with the drama, but it was too late. They’d been spotted by the Love-inator. Lisa soon appeared over the gang and politely told LC, “Nobody should be sitting here yet, okay? We’ll talk about it on Monday.” BUUSSSTED!!! It was such a succinct, almost pleasant remark, but we knew that in the world of Vogue, that meant “Your ass is mine, you stupid little bitch.”
After Lisa left, Audrina piped up and asked, “Was that who you work for?” No. It was the cocktail waitress. OF COURSE IT WAS, YOU IDIOT. Audrina then followed up with, “Why’d she get all mad?” Like totally? What was up with her? Just because she’s the boss and told LC not to let people sit on the couches, that was like way uncool of her to be all mad like that. Whatevs, granny!
Eventually, the HeidiGaggle deemed the party “over” and waltzed out, leaving LC alone with her headset and a look of total intractable guilt on her face. And to think, the VIPs never even came. All this drama over nothing. Just to prove the point, we then saw flowers floating aimlessly in the pool. LIKE LIFE!!!
And so ended the first eventful episode. What did you think? It’s no Laguna, but is it the new guilty pleasure?

I actually didn’t get past the first 5 minutes. But you made it seem so entertaining, B-Side, that I’ll try to catch it on one of the oh so many repeats that MTV has planned. That’s what’s great about all you tvgasmers, tv seems so much better when you recap it. The networks should be paying you the big bucks ’cause you all are probably the only reason some of these shows get seen.
It sucked. I hope it gets better.
That show is slow to get through, no actually Cheyenne was worse, I turned it off after 5 minutes. Anyway, it’s kind of boring and really predictable.
Heidi bothers me, and I honestly don’t remember her in Laguna Beach. You did make it entertaining even though it was really bland.
Like in Real World Key West, that was a “soft” opening episode, I hope it gets better. *crosses fingers*
this show is way too set up—kinda like the 2nd season of the Anna Nicole Smith show (lol). My friend has interned with Vogue and let me tell you, it is way more hellish than that. And the styling–that would never happen.
By the way. If you watch the aftershow on MTV Overdrive, notice how they complain about their small apartment. I would gladly exchange my tiny NYC apt for theirs.
I thought the show was pretty lame, hopefully Kristin will roll into town and like, totally steal LC’s (excuse me, Lauren’s) thunder.
On another note- anybody else think Lisa Love resembles the loveable Peisha McPhee?
I’d like to extend a thank you to Heidi for the bald spots I now have from RIPPING OUT MY HAIR and throwing it at the screen during her FIDM admissions interview!!! What a vapid whore! Me hating her this much already = a fantastic season ahead of me.
This show is far too over-produced. LC is on the cover of Teen Vogue right now, I think that was the “fit” they were looking for. Wow, a weekly 30 minute Teen Vogue commercial that will be looped ad nausium on MTV for the bargain price of paying miniumum wage for an incompetent 19 year old intern/celebrity.
LC is nothing without Kristen as a rival. They need to bump up the Jasedric appearance if this show is going to have legs.
We are all breathlessly awaiting your Cheyenne recap…aren’t we? er…
I also thought that the show was a tad slow. Hopefully the wrath of Lisa Love will entertain us next week.
LC is so spineless. I can’t believe she never told her friends to move. This is how Stephen ran over her for so long. She can’t stand up to anyone.
I always thought LC was kinda boring and bland on Laguna, and nothing seems to have changed here. Where is the SCREAMING I would have done at my friend had she showed up at a party uninvited, and caused drama in front of my new boss Lisa Love-to-hate-her? At least Heidi is so dumb, but entertaining. I wanted to scream as well at her interview. What an idiot!
Is this the same duplex apartment from the Ashlee Simpson show? When she started out “on her own”? It looks the same.
Is this the same duplex apartment from the Ashlee Simpson show? When she started out “on her own”? It looks the same.
Does anybody know what the rent is on a duplex like that? So not fair. Also, please tell me that was not a ring that Jason gave her. I am hoping that veil she tried on had to do with Vogue, not her being engaged to Jason.
Is it just me or does the whole show seem set up??? I’m having a hard time believing that LC let her friends in AND let them sit in that section…I have a funny feeling they were probably invited as up-and-coming celebrities. Notice how LC was so comfortable sitting down?? I just can’t believe that with the success of Laguna, LC wouldn’t be invited to a Teen Vogue party… Not buying it.. Also,I wonder if they’re trying to establish characters.. and the FIDM interview with Heidi was set up. There’s no way ANYONE would answer questions like that, and be let into the school. She basically mocked them to their face.. JMO…
I agree with the two previous posters that LC is far too weak and boring of a character to carry her own show. They really need to step up the Jason drama, and I hope her “girls” turn out to be more than vapid idiots (I know, unlikely). I did think that her Vogue co-intern had some potential.
I kept thinking that the one girl’s bf was Poelster from LB. They really need to transplant 1 or 2 characters from LB…LC can’t carry it on her own.
And the 4 girls/SATC idea is atrocious…these girls combined don’t even equal Charlotte on a bad day. They really need to throw some guys in the mix ASAP.
It’s no Laguna, but I’m hoping once Jason shows up, things will get more interasante. Woo, drama!
With Top Chef done & nothing else to watch I was sucked in, kind of like when you drive by an accident scene & have to look. I too was thoroughly annoyed by the incredible stupidity of the girls on this show (and the few idiot guys that tagged along) until I reminded myself a lot of this stuff is set up. I may watch it again just so I can complain about how dumb these women are, but I have to admit one guilty pleasure-I actually want to see how the whole Jason drama turns out, especially since she says they are serious now. Like, totally.
Don’t forget that Heidi is the brilliant mind who came up with “When in doubt, shoe it out.” I couldn’t believe what a moron she was at her admissions interview! What is so unfortunate and annoying is that she won’t understand that you have to work hard for anything because I heard that she actually gets a great job working PR for some big company in LA becuase of the show of course.
wh-wh-wh-Whitney- great Bring It On reference, I haven’t seen one of those in a long time.
as for madame lisa’s “french” last name, i have some suggestions:
ennuyeuse, maladroit,chaque- a -khan, l.a. bouche
I finally figured out who Heidi reminds me of. Drew Barrymore at her ditzy best….
I’m way late for work, and yet somehow I must post.
While Irene Marie shows the horror of too much plastic surgery, I think Lisa Love’s exhibits the tragedy of the ‘smoke yourself thin’ lifelong diet.
Therefore, I suggest her new last name be ‘Tabacceau’
She might also want to go completely waspy, more along the lines of ‘Smyth-Smythington’
Off to save the world now.
Lucy Bonaparte.
Napoleon Bonaparte’s second cousin once removed.
Apparently I changed her first name too. She can keep Lisa but still needs to love the Love.
Lisa Bonaparte.
Do i remember correctly that Alex H., Kristins trusty sidekick, wasn’t in the openening credits of Laguna Beach. I feel that leaves definite potential for more fun people just to be left unmentioned in the beginning.
I thought the show was OK, hope it gets a bit better. I think we’ll have a whole bunch of idiotic Heidi-isms before this show is done.
Who the F is Cheyenne and why did they give her a show (which I also turned off after 5 minutes)?
Enjoyed the recap B-Side, thank you.
LC is such a wuss for allowing her stupid roommate and her associated stupid friends to come to the party. Any non-reality-TV-quasi-star intern that pulled that kind of crap would be canned in a hurry. Who knew Teen Vogue would be willing to whore themselves out for MTV publicity?
http://ilovecamping.blogspot.com/2006/06/head-for-hills-lauren-is-made-of.html
I love LC. The show was a little slow, but it should get better next week. Thanks for recaping!
B Side your recap was sooo awesome. You made the show that much better. I’m sure we will have a great summer enjoying the stupidity of Heidi.
Thanks!
Just when you think NO ONE could be more stupid than Jessica…in waltzes Heidi!
How did that Admissions Lady hold her composure…give that woman an Emmy!!! I would have been on the floor laughing at that stupid vapid bitch!!!
The only good thing about this show was the recap. It was so forced and scripted. I hate to say it, but I even miss Stephen’s clickings.
Soooo bad it’s good.
B-Side, will you marry me? We can stalk Lauren together!
I must admit, I kinda like that she’s not trying to be an actress or anything like that. And while I loved Kristin’s dramatics, I do not miss her donkey voice. Nor do I miss psycho Jessica.
I live in hope, however, that Roz will cameo! Perhaps to give Heidi sidekick lessons?
Speaking of the ditsy whore (Heidi, not lovely Roz), I dug her fashion school interview, and the “what an idiot” looks by the interviewer-woman. Good stuff.
As for Cheyenne, she reminded me of a younger, female Ashley Parker Angel. At least she didn’t freeze the scene and “jump out” to comment.
I too found that show unwatchable (though she is pretty talented).
Ahhh, this show is destined to be my new guilty pleasure. Thank god for Laguna spinoffs.
Oh, and I suggest “Lisa Aufrance” as an alternate moniker for LC’s bonetastic new boss.
According to this week’s US Magazine – LC is now living with Jason. Ugh.
“chaque-a-khan”
This is awesome.
Lisa “Ne Vous Reposez Pas Sur Les Divans” … also good.
Heidi = brainless. I was not aware that someone so stupid could actually exist. In fact, I think no one in this known world has ever had a worse interview. Therefore I’m hoping the producers told her to play the stupid one and she’s just doing an incredibly thorough job.
By the way, when did LC get so moronic? I never thought she was a rocket scientist, but I assumed she could follow a simple task. “Do not sit. Do not LET anyone sit.” Soon after… “Hey guys! Come sit here! I’ll sit too!” MORON! Did Jason accidentally stomp on her brain when he stomped on her heart by kissing Jessica at the fashion show last season of LB?
I also caught Lisa Love’s “Do you write? Good?” Even my 6th graders know that it’s WELL. “Yes Lisa, I write as GOOD as you speak.”
That being said… I love the show, am addicted already, and will watch it religiously every week!
I couldn’t sit through it. I was bored. Gimme a Kristin show.
But! Cheyenne is really interesting!
tvtvtv – merci..i love me some crazy whitney!
i’ve always been team LC and well, though the show was lacking, i’ll still be a religious viewer. loved the recap! doesn’t your suggestion forlisa’s name mean something along the lines of good time? so she’d be good time lisa, hahaha, still a porn star. but gawd is she scary, no wonder she’s behind the scenes at the mag. yeah, i’m still wondering how the hell LC got the job (mtv) and shocked that she’s as wimpy as she is. but i guess i shouldn’t be. and O.M.G.!! heidi? drop her as a friend immediately. she’s gonna be constant trouble, which makes for great tv!
When I was 19 and studying fashion, I would have KILLED for a chance to intern at a magazine like Teen Vogue. I can’t believe LC is screwing up such a cool opportunity. I also would have killed for the chance to go to FIDM, a way better school than the one I went to (I don’t work in fashion, now, to give you an idea of how useless it was). If they let Heidi in to FIDM just because she’s part of the show, I will pretty much die.
In France, instead of “Beware of Dog” signs, they have “Chien Mechant” or literally, “Dog Mean.” So my Lisa Love name is “Lisa Mechant.” Or “Beware of Lisa,” that works, too.
I finally got to watch the episode last night after work and oh Lord… Lisa Love totally looks like she has been on the ’4 cigarette packs a day’ diet for years. Her face is just so pleated and wrinkly. I support brilliantmistake’s idea (#21) of “Lisa Tabacceau”! Maybe they’ll show Lisa coughing like she’s got emphysema and we can call her Lisa LaToux or Lisa Poumon.
Now on to the show! LC, WTF. She is such a pushover. “Heidi, I don’t want to get in trouble for sneaking you in the party!” 2 minutes later, Heidi asks again and LC sneaks her in. I don’t even know what to say about Heidi and that interview. And that Susan person from FIDM, she looked optimistic that Heidi would answer at least ONE of her questions right. WRONG!!
Good recap B-Side! I’m gonna keep watching for sure. Hehe.
“Lisa Tabacceau” -brilliant. cefisher82 #37-”Hey guys! Come sit here! I’ll sit too!” made me think of Vinci!
I also vote for briliantmistake’s (#21)
LISA TABACCEAU
haven’t watched it yet, but if the interview clipgasm is any indication, then this show is sure to kill plenty of brain cells—can’t wait
Ok- re-watching this ep on MTV right now. These girls are hand addressing the envelopes to the big hollywood party and using a rolodex for the addresses. What year is this? 1980?
Where’s the Outlook database, mail merge and mailing labels?
And licking the envelopes? There’s a cheapy little licker thing you can buy for under $1.
Dude, MTV dropped the ball. LC is far too boring/too much of a pushover to have her own show. I’m sure I’ll still watch, but watching this chick get trampled over by her “best” friend and then cheated on by her boyfriend week after week is just going to make me miss Kristin even more.
As for Lisa Love’s name, how about Lisa Haine, Lisa Hate in French?
I’d have to push for a nom d’ecran with a literalist bent… “Lisa L’Amour” (not to mention it’s porn-esque flavor)
Besides the endless potential for vapidity that will no doubt be unleashed in this series, I am also looking forward to seeing the prim, haughty LC unmasked for the spineless masochist that she really is! Stephen was entirely too harmless (and distracted by the lure of Kristen, a girl with an actual backbone) to really ever fulfill her craving for punishing love, but Jason will certainly come closer to fulfilling her fantasies this season! If she had any sense of self at all, she would never have spoken to him again after the way he grabbed her by the wrists after kissing another girl in front of her on the last season of LB. Clearly she has a deep down craving for a little paris hilton/nick carter, paula/keith kind of bruising love, and I can’t wait to see it unfold! (Go team Kristen!)
Heidi is annoying and dumb.
Lisa Love’s french name should be Blair Brown; and she should do to Lauren what Blair Brown did to her daughter in The Bad Seed – except successfully.
I am going to start slugging back shots every time someone on this show utters the words “like” and “you know?”. I’ll let everyone know how Betty Ford went when I get back.
I have the most incredible urge to get into a sissyfight with Heidi. That girl is dumber than shit. Each word she speaks makes me cringe.
LC is a godamn pushover. She continues to let people walk all over her, and she proved that when she let Miss I Have the IQ of Lint into the party.
I remember seeing Heidi in Laguna Beach…the last time I saw her was in the Fashion Show walking with Kristen. (She was the one that kissed her.)
Anywho, I’m looking forward to the rest of the season. I’m nowhere near angry enough about life, and watching spoiled little brats have everything given to them will add to my anger quite nicely.
B-Side, that was totally strong. Keep it up. I laughed my ass off. Like anyone could get into the Tropicana Bar uninvited while Amanda was in charge. And having just got back from the Big P, I have my mini-English-French dictionary: and I suggest; Lisa Celibataire (aka “Spinster”). There’s some accents in there, but I’m a dunce’ and cannot reproduce them.
Apparently I’m the only one, but I really liked this show. I found it just as interesting as Laguna Beach, and I’m sure it’ll get better from here. The show isn’t so much about LC as it is about vapid, spoiled, bitchy L.A. girls. I, for one, am addicted already.
As far as French names for Lisa Love, here are a few suggestions:
Lisa, la Reine de glace,
or
Lisa “menaces vides”,
or even
Lisa “Votre âne est le mien”.
Great recap, B-Side!
This week’s ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY questions the validity of some of the show’s “facts.” But clearly it’s all the producers’ doings. No need to question.
It’s on page 62, FYI.
