Oh man. For everyone who’s never lived in Los Angeles, tonight’s episode of The Hills did a pretty good job of showing just what sort of a climate we exist in out here by the Pacific. I’m not the type that usually begrudges the young and beautiful for getting ahead in life (how could I begrudge myself? mwhahah. Just KEEDING), but sometimes you just gotta shake your head at the obnoxious and superficial ways the Hollywood totem pole operates. Take for instance sweet, idiotic Heidi. I’ve seen amoebas with greater job prospects than she, and yet, because she’s hot and has a camera crew trailing her around, she lives a charmed, albeit empty life. It’s a painful thing to watch when you’re a struggling writer in Hollywood, but hey, that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop. Bring on the masochistic adventures!In true Laguna / Hills form, the episode began with LC narrating a brief recap of the last show. We relived all those wonderful moments — moving in, getting a job, watching Heidi jeopardize Lauren’s awesome job. Good times. Of course, LC wasn’t very happy about her friend crashing the Teen Vogue party. “Heidi did what she wanted, when she wanted,” LC complained. Because clearly LC had no part in Heidi getting into the party whatsoever…
Anyway, we found the two girls lounging around the apartment, trying on clothes. Heidi thought she had found a top she had wanted to wear, but Lauren advised her that it was a little short. “You and me, we have different short,” Heidi said. And by “short,” she meant “mental capacities.” Of which she has none. I’m pretty sure that at this moment, she’s gazing at a piece of dust floating in the air.
LC then told Heidi about how she and her buds got her in trouble at the party. “I got yelled at… well, no, I didn’t get yelled at. I got scolded,” LC explained. Yes, LC was still smarting from her run-in with her boss. Now she too knows the burning welt that only Lisa Love’s fire-tongue can inflict. Few have survived her passive-aggressive wrath!
Anyway, LC insisted that Heidi couldn’t crash any more of her work functions, to which Heidi replied, “Okay, we’ll make that a rule.” Yeah, you know, kind of how it was a rule LAST TIME.
We then saw the opening credits (which are not nearly as strangely transfixing as Hilary Duff’s Laguna Beach anthem), and then we learned this episode ominous title: “A Change of Plans.” Change of plans? What might happen? Will Heidi be struck by a bus? Or might she read her first book without pictures? The possibilities were endless!
Well, we soon headed to the Teen Vogue offices where LC and Whitney nervously awaited the stern reprimand of Lisa Love.
“No one ever said anything to me about letting them in, but hopefully everything’s okay,” Whitney said optimistically. Yeah, you keep thinking that. Meanwhile, she’ll be cleaning Lisa Love’s floors with a toothbrush in about forty-five minutes.
By the way, I love how at Whitney’s workstation, she’s taped a piece of Teen Vogue stationery to a cabinet, almost as if it were a memo or to-do list, but THERE’S NOTHING ON IT. Who posts blank paper??
Anyway, LC and Whitney continued to rehash the party, with LC saying that Heidi shouldn’t have crashed AND gotten into a fight. “No, that wasn’t really responsible,” Whitney said. Yeah, that wasn’t really responsible at all. Kind of like how you LET THEM IN.
We then cut to glorious Pan Pacific Park where aspiring actors and future waiters Jordan and Brian were playing basketball. Just a little refresher: Jordan is Heidi’s boyfriend. Brian is his sidekick. Anyway, the two talked about Jordan and how he’s always jealous of Heidi, but even though they fought at the Teen Vogue party, don’t worry. The two “made up” several times that weekend. I wonder if they “made up” in the ass?
“Did you ever ask Heidi if you could have a threesome with Lauren?” Brian then asked, later adding, “You gotta ask these sort of questions. You’re in Hollywood now. This isn’t North Carolina.” That’s right. Everyone in Hollywood does threesomes all the time. Why, after this, I have a standing engagement with Soleil Moon Frye and Ann Reinking. Grrrrrrrowl!
Back at the Teen Vogue office, we found Lauren busy with an afternoon of wild pencil erasing. She’s gonna make it after all! Unfortunately, there was one thing Lauren couldn’t erase: what happened at the party. Sure enough, loyal minion Blaine entered the intern closet and announced that Her Royal Highness Miss Lisa Love wanted to talk to LC. Uh oh. Somebody get the Epsom Salts ready!
Well, a humbled sat down in her boss’s office, and we knew she was in for trouble when Lisa Love walked to the door and shut it. She’s so gonna get out the cat-o’-nine-tails. Lisa Love takes no prisoners! By the way, last week I insisted that she ought to get a French last name, and the readers all offered up many wonderful suggestions. But alas, I have grown to love the trashy simplicity that is Lisa Love, and therefore, I will be calling her by her proper name at all times. Thank you all for participating.
Anyway, with the door closed, Lisa was ready to lay down the law. Sort of. She asked LC to explain her side of the story, but the fearful intern simply let out an “Um…” as if she had no idea what Lisa was talking about. In fact, every question Lisa asked was met with an increasingly shaky “Ummmm…” Ultimately, LC did the stupidest thing she could have done (especially since this was all televised): she lied. She acted as if she had no idea how her friends got in, and even though she looked like she was about to bawl from guilt, Lisa let it go. You could tell Lady Love saw right through this story, but hey, she wasn’t about to fire her prized intern. Instead, she let LC off easily, saying she was heading to New York for Fashion Week; so she had better behave. You know what that meant: PARTAY AT CASA DEL LOVE!
After this harsh (read: light) interrogation, LC returned to her desk and told Whitney everything. Wh-wh-wh-Whitney thanked her friend for saving her ass and not revealing her role in HeidiGate 2006, and then she pondered, “Maybe that was my fault for letting them in.” Uh yeah. I think so.
Meanwhile, back at the pool, we found MENSA poster child Heidi calling up her new bestie Audrina (who, it turns out, works right next to where I used to park my car for my old job. Wow. I was THIS close to being in The Hills… two years ago). Anyway, Heidi was bored and wanted to do something with Audrina, but whatevs! She had a “job,” whatever that is. Audrina actually had to work from nine to six every day. OMG! The HORRORS!!
We then cut to that night as the whole gang jaunted out to Hollywood, specifically a club called LAX. Everyone worried that they wouldn’t be able to get in, but uh, in case you forgot, girls, you were on the hottest teen sensation of the past two years. Me thinky you’ll be fine.
“No club can resist the power of my argyle!”
Sure enough the gang (the underage gang, no less!) made it into LAX without a problem, and inside, we got to glimpse at all the wild times when the youth of Hollywood is let loose in a club. And by that, we heard Brian babble about how he had an audition coming up. Wonderful! That might be his ticket right out of P.F. Chang’s!
Meanwhile, when Heidi disappeared into the darkness of the club, protective boyfriend Jordan became instantly jealous. As he should be. Without her, his hopes for fame would go right down the toilet. This is the way Hollywood works, by the way. It’s all one big daisy-chain of fame-seekers, and in this case, they’re all latched onto LC.
Well, Jordan’s fears soon abated when Heidi returned to him sans another boyfriend. She was all excited and had very big news. “I got an interview with Brent,” she said. At this point, I was crossing my fingers and praying that she didn’t mean Brent Bolthouse. For all the non-Angelenos out there, Brent Bolthouse is the über-party promoter here in Los Angeles. He’s the one who throws parties at clubs and only allows in celebrities and the ultra-beautiful. He then goes onto Indie 103.1 FM and tries to act like he totally hates the whole celebrity culture. Anyway, I hate him because I can’t get into his parties (but since I am a product of the Hollywood lifestyle, I’ll totally say that he’s the bestest if he puts me on his list. I never said I was above it!).
Sure enough, my worst fears came true. Heidi elaborated on who Brent was: “He owns Bolthouse.” Yes. His name is BRENT BOLTHOUSE, you idiot. Anyway, Brent Bolthouse apparently arranged for Heidi to come in and interview for a job, which I thought was pretty sad and transparent, if you ask me. If this doesn’t take down this guy’s Indie 103.1 cred, I don’t know what will. Nevertheless, Heidi could not have been more thrilled. Working for Brent Bolthouse would be her dream job. “And what do I love doing? Partying!” she exclaimed in vapid euphoria. I really didn’t think women like her existed outside of broad comedies.
Well, LC wasn’t that impressed by all this, and she decided to go home. After all, she and Heidi actually had school earlier that morning. But school schmool. Heidi was going to stay out. And so LC went home, leaving Heidi to bask in the great accomplishment that was securing a job interview with Brent Bolthouse. “Are you proud of me?” she asked her boyfriend. Yes, I’m sure he was very proud that her blonde hair, fleeting celebrity status, and trailing camera crew earned her an interview.
The next morning, LC and Heidi had to wake up for the first day of school. No problem for Lauren, but Heidi was not a happy camper. Nevertheless, she did somehow pull herself together, and the two made it to the campus alright, but before they had even crossed the quad, Heidi was already thinking about ditching her first class. I mean, it was like totally cutting into her tanning time. Whatever!
Meanwhile, over at Brian and Jordan’s pigsty of an apartment (which is not unlike mine), the two guys woke up, sat down shirtless in their living room, and attempted a conversation. Unfortunately, watching these two trying to form sentences at this early hour was akin to watching a slug making its way across a flagstone. Not very compelling. I don’t even know why were seeing this scene. It had something to do with Audrina. I think Brian was into her or something. I didn’t know, and honestly, I didn’t care either.
We then returned to college where Heidi was now sitting outside, calling Audrina on the phone. Heid asked Aud if she was interested in Brian because like Brian was totes into her. Like OMG. They should totally go on a date. But, you know, not on a night when Brian’s working at Fuddruckers.
Heidi then headed into the trendy FIDM student lounge where she passed the time playing an eventful game of solitaire. I personally was surprised she knew what all the numbers on the cards meant. As far as I could tell, Heidi couldn’t count much higher than four. LC soon joined her friend and asked how the first day was going.
“Ummm, I didn’t finish,” Heidi said, adding, “I’m a total idiot!” Apparently when Heidi was talking to Audrina, she was supposed to be in class, but she simply walked out in the middle because she like couldn’t deal. A disapproving Lauren then asked what other class she had, causing Heidi to sigh with annoyance and say, “Art.” What was this? Elementary school? Don’t classes have more descriptive titles than just “Art”? Nevertheless, Art wasn’t going to be in the cards for Heidi. “I already missed it today,” she said. “Because I couldn’t find it; so I was like screw this, I’m not going.” I don’t know how big FIDM is, but I have a feeling it’s not a sprawling campus. If Heidi couldn’t find a stupid classroom, then she has less hope than I ever thought possible. You know, if the professors really want her to show up, they should just put a velvet rope around the door. Heidi would be there in no time.
Later that day, Heidi met up with boy-toy Jordan, and the two talked about the whole college thing over a late lunch. Apparently Heidi was planning to drop out if she landed that sweet Brent Bolthouse job (which she surely would since, you know, she was mildly famous). You see, college and Heidi were not a match made in heaven. “You know when you get the feeling that you’re not meant to do something?” she asked, adding, “You know, like thinking?” Okay, she didn’t say that last part (the concept of “thinking” is totally foreign to her anyway). She continued: “I mean, school’s not meant for everyone.” To which Jordan proudly replied, “Pssht. I’m not in it!” He is, however, in the training program for Chipotle.
Of course, there are many people who never earn their college diplomas, which is totally fine, but there was something in Heidi’s brazen attitude that truly annoyed me. Probably it was her sense of comfort in knowing that she’d probably be able to toss her hair and nod to the cameras in order to get whatever she wanted in Hollywood. Ah, but I won’t get jealous. She’ll wind up with a vicious coke habit, and that will be the end of that.
The next morning, Heidi laid out a fancy outfit on the bed and asked Lauren what she thought of it, but the annoyed roommate simply asked, “Do you care what you look like?” Uh, is Star Jones stuffing her face with a Twinkie right now? The answer to both questions: YES.
“I wear sweats to school,” Lauren scoffed. But Heidi had quite the bombshell:
“I’m not going to school.”
Dunh dunh DUNH!!!
Heidi then explained the whole Bolthouse situation, which was that if she got the job, she’d drop out. After all, the only reason why she was taking classes was so that she could one day work for someone like Brent. So obviously, what would be the point if she already had the position? Duh!
“I thought we moved here to go to school together,” LC said, citing a clause in the unspoken sidekick contract. Ah, silly LC. YOU moved to L.A. to go to school with Heidi. She moved to piggyback on your fame and infiltrate the glitteratti. Should have stuck with Lo (or at the very least, Tantastic Jen).
Anyway, even though LC was disapproving, Heidi insisted that this Bolthouse job would be a once in a lifetime opportunity. She was sort of right. A year from now, she might not be famous anymore, and then what use is she to Brent Bolthouse? He only associates with famous people (on account of him needing to conquer the raging insecurity that comes with being beaten up every day in middle school).
We then headed back to Teen Vogue, and with the way Heidi was acting, it was clear that LC should adopt Whitney as her new sidekick. First of all, she was cuter (in my humble opinion); second of all, she was only fairly vacuous, (as opposed to being totally, 100% idiotic); and third of all, well, she just looked eager for a Master. The way she clung onto LC’s stories suggested that she was sorely hoping to be adopted.
Well, the two girls gabbed about Heidi, and LC explained how she was a bad interviewer (as if we didn’t already know). LC then proceeded to make fun of Heidi’s ditzy ways, which was pretty funny. I then crossed my fingers that we’d please, please, please get to see her interview.
Sure enough, we went to Brent Bolthouse’s spare but trendy offices where Heidi awaited her big interview. A big-haired assistant named Deb (rather pedestrian name for someone so close to Sir Bolthouse) offered Heidi some water, and then finally our eyes gazed upon him: Mr. Brent Bolthouse, typing on his computer. Of course, he put on that stoic, “I’m too cool for this” attitude and asked Heidi why she should work for him.
“I think that I’m extremely hard working, and I’ll go the extra mile, and I won’t quit until everything is like exactly the way you want it, and I don’t give up easily,” Heidi replied. Yes, she’s a hard worker and doesn’t give up easily. As evidenced by her stellar first day at school. Hey Brent, ask her about Art class.
Brent then said he just needed a second assistant to deal with the organizational stuff (read: you won’t be planning any parties anytime soon, missy) (read again: I just created this position for you and your camera crew — which I’m too cool for). He then noted that he hated drama and wanted as little as possible. Not a problem for Heidi! Hey, did she ever tell you about the time when she crashed the Teen Vogue party and almost got her friend fired for causing a scene? Yeah, good times.
Well, of course Heidi got the job, again cementing my suspicions that Brent Bolthouse just wanted the cameras around (how does he not have any other better qualified candidates?). Heidi immediately called LC, who said in complete monotone, “That is awesome. Congratulations, Heidi.” She then added, “Don’t let the lack of enthusiasm in my voice mislead you. I am very. very. happy.”
“I’m thrilled.”
Okay, LC didn’t say that last part, but we could tell that she was seething. You know, at least with LC, there’s some sense of — I don’t know — humility? Work ethic? Pensiveness? She can probably access all the things Heidi can — if not more — but at least she doesn’t seem to be relying on her good looks and fame to do all the heavy lifting. As far as we can tell, I should say.
Anyway, Heidi continued to gush, saying, “I’m only like nineteen, and I have my dream job!”
“Oh. Good for you. What could go wrong?” LC said bitterly. Hahaha. She’s SO switching sidekicks to Whitney. This will be like season one of Sorority Girls when Jordan’s sidekick Amanda broke away and began hanging out with Candace instead. Oh, the glory days.
“What’s that you say? You have a lunch break? WOW!!”
“That was so funny, LC! Can I be your sidekick?”
Finally, LC couldn’t deal with Heidi anymore and literally hung up on her. “Lauren? Lauren?” Heidi asked over and over again. Pssst. When your phone says “Disconnected,” that usually means the other person ISN’T THERE ANYMORE.
And so a perfectly content Heidi walked off, and as the credits rolled, we were treated to lovely images of Los Angeles at sunset, including one tasty shot of the city cloaked in smog. Fantastic. Just another day in The Hills!
What did you think about this episode? Is Heidi becoming the girl we love to hate this summer? And do I have a shot of ever making it onto Brent Bolthouse’s guest list now that I’ve written this recap?

Well since LC’s life seems so ho-hum, at least Heidi it seems will carry this show with her idiocy. Judging by next weeks preview, she seems to be getting into trouble with her new boss already! She doesn’t seem to be intent on being LC’s sidekick. Perhaps she isn’t so dumb after all, and is stealing the spotlight by being dumb? I’d say it was all an act, but damn, the girl just is SO GOOD at it!
You forgot the best part… “Fashion School Dropout… Fashion School Dropout…”
Anyone else think that Heidi is just trying to do her best Nicole Richie a la “The Simple Life” act… purposely saying and doing things to be obnoxious/ignorant… like the school interview and job interview too. This show is so scripted… but I still love it!
B-Side,
Sorority Girls was the best show ever! Good Call!
And as a sidenote, I could have sworn that Jordan woke up in Heidi’s apartment on the first day of school, but then they show the scene where the ambigiously gay duo (Jordan and Brian)were waking up that same day in thier own apartment.
Safe to say, i’m addicted.
What is it with MTV making such addicting shows we can’t avoid watching like a nasty car accident?
My gf and I watched some MTV show where the parents try to set up their son or daughter with someone else(2 dates). One show had this hot Latina girl as the to-be-booted gf that you wanted to hit since she was so rude.
MTV shows, we are laughing AT you, not with you. Now get off my lawn.
LOVED the Fashion School Dropout line! I also loved how Heidi was gushing about how, “I get a lunch break!” Woohoo! You can also get a BETTER JOB…if you go to COLLEGE!
What also irked me…I know it’s L.A. and everything, but I would NEVER wear JEANS to a JOB INTERVIEW!!!!!! Even LC dressed up for her Teen Vogue interview. I would theorize that Heidi was trying to show Brent Dolthouse that she didn’t care (sort of mirroring his attitude), but I don’t think she’s got the mental capacity for such a trick.
“it’s almost as if you have no business training at all.”
watching this makes me wonder…
was i this stupid at 19?
was i this vacant?
i did me some duh-HUMB things in my youth, but i can honestly say that at a real company you’d get laughed right out of any interview sportin that heidi vibe. (i know i know, l.a. isn’t REAL per say…)
now as for the dating a dipshit like jason, watching him cheat on me and taking him back thing…i totally would’ve done that. little girls are just dumb.
Thanks for the speedy recap, B-side!
Was anyone else just mildly proud of Lauren for being appalled at Heidi’s complete lack of…well, a lot of things; conviction, drive, higher cognitive function? I know I was…almost.
I hope Lauren sticks w/ school and her internship. Otherwise I will be forced to hate (but still watch) her just like the other Laguna wastes-of-space.
-I’m just happy I don’t have to hear Heidi say “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah” from the promo again–but wow, she is truly amazing.
–Lauren is such a hater, she should be happy for Heidi
–the boyfriend and his sidekick are lame-o, can’t wait for Jason…
I am disturbed by the fact that there are tweens out there idolizing Heidi…I’m scared.
I usually don’t get this Honest John tone in my voice, but I really think this is the most harmful show I’ve seen in a long time. It’s one think to celebrate being sluts, it’s another thing to imply to an audience of dumb teenagers that they can 1) Get into any school with an interview like Heidi’s, 2) Drop out and get anything but a job at McDonald’s, and 3) Completely ignore what your boss tells you and not get fired, or be given any position of responsibility (flying a dress to New York?) ever again.
I wonder how many 16 year olds have now decided they don’t have to apply to college and will go throw parties instead.
Whitney not only has a blank piece of paper posted, she’s sitting at a computer with a blank screen.
Did anyone notice the size of Heidi’s ass in those tight jeans and she stepped & bumped (beep beep) down the street after her riveting Bolthouse interview.
Hey Heidi, nice fat can. Keep up with the booze and partying, you’ll be looking real good be age 20. Well, I guess there’s always that coke habit to slim her down.
Not even mentioning the jeans at an interview thing (which I just did) but that top was circa 1980 something. She was not professional or trendy. If she wasn’t going to be professional then she really NEEDED to be dead on with the trendy outfit.
I would enjoy Lauren’s ethics more if she had some more verbal skills. Every time we see her she is giving some pensive look with no words. I have always been team LC but she needs to speak.
I did love the Beauty School Drop Out reference and am surprised she knew it.
This show just seems fairly dull so far, and the only entertainment is commenting on how ignorant and braindead the cast is.
holyterror, good call. Coming from someone who actually excelled to get into a good college and now works a full-time job to pay the bills, this whole set-up is just nauseating.
I watched Cheyenne afterwards and was much more entertained- enough said.
brent bolthouse looks like he’s trying to look like elliott smith. he makes me disrespect “indie” 103 more than danny masterson does.
This episode was better than the first one! Thank God! I can’t wait to see how Jason plans on kissin LC’s ass. Gee’s I wonder how he will crawl back into her life! B-Side you rock the his-house! Much love, much love! A
I find it odd that Heidi’s dream job is being an assistant, a 2nd assistant at that! You would think she was going to school to become a party promoter/planner, but no, she just wants to help out and get a free ride. It’s so lame…
I would prob side w/ lauren in the stay in school debate, and heidi is pretty damn dumb (whether it’s real or not, she’s pulling it off way too well), but i think LC was pretty much a bitch to her supposed ‘best friend’. even if you don’t agree w/ what they’re doing, you don’t just hang up on your best friend and you’re suppose to support them~ well, you know, unless they’re driving off a cliff or something. i don’t really think this job is a cliff and she obvs isn’t going to make it in school so…
Can MTV please make it so that Heidi and “8th and Ocean’s” Vinci get together and have a baby? Their spawn would surely be the greatest/most entertaining waste of oxygen reality tv has ever seen!
“B-side you rock the his-house!”
AWE-some.
Heidi epitomizes every type of woman that I can’t stand. She kind of makes me embarrased to be one.
well, to answer holyterror,
im 16, and i think i have more brains then heidi and the rest of the cast on the hills.
i would NEVER in a million years let my friends crash a work party in a job i just started and then SIT in the chairs that she was told to not let anyone sit there. and you have to have no thoughts of your own to know that getting a job and/or into school is that easy.
we all know it’s cause of those MTV cameras.
I can’t wait for the LC/Heidi bitch fight…my money is on Lauren.

it seemed like LC was somewhat jealous (not that there’s any reason for her to be) of Heidi at the end when she hung up on her. it’s like she knew Heidi only got the job cause she’s her sidekick.
Did she hang up on her? I couldn’t tell. She looked down at her phone and said “weird” or something like that and it was making a buzzing sound (I thought) and then they were disconnected.
I def. thought LC was bitchy to Heidi. Even though I don’t agree with Heidi’s choice, as a friend, you’d think LC would have at least acted a little supportive, excited. But both of these girls are passive-aggressive so it doesn’t surprise me.
The only thing I envy about girls like Heidi and Kristin is exactly how clueless they are. Everything is effortless. Makes life a lot easier if you don’t have to think about anything – because you can’t think and have no clue what’s going on.
I wish I could agree with mo_knows: that Heidi isn’t so dumb because she’s taking over the limelight. It’s exactly the fact that she’s too stupid to think of such an idea that makes it possible.
Hello B-Side ! I am so glad you are back to interpret all things Laguna-esque for us. I hope your “Hollywood Dreams” do come true. Unfortunately, the fact that you actually have a talent might be a stumbling block. Watching TV without you is like eating food without salt. Enough with my love fest. Can anyone tell me how LC manages to look continuosly stunned by everything around her ? It seems that someone who grew up with so much would be a little more worldly. Also, what is the name of the doctor who performed Heidi’s lobotomy ? She is unbelievable. Anyone want to make a wager on how many more episodes until her dramatic firing ? Finally, I’ve got admit I miss Kristin. This series needs a shot of her kind of poison. I’m too old for this show but I’m lovin every minute of it !
Really quickly, can we just make a clarification that what Heidi is doing and her dream of being the party girl…IS NOT PUBLIC RELATIONS! Nor is it really even publicity, which is, I suppose, what she means. From her FIDM interview, it seems like she doesn’t even want to “plan” parties, just attend them.
As a PR professional, I am horrified by this perception of a discipline that is a far cry from being the fun party people (even if we are outside of work).
Guess who’s back, back back? Back again? J-Balls’ back, back, back. Tell Lauren.
Next episode baby! I’m gonna be back on your screen! I won’t be talking though. That’s just not how I roll.
Does anybody think Heidi’s just not good looking enough to get away with her crap? She is so goddamn hateable. When she pulled out that “I’m only 19 and I have my dream job already!” the only thing I could think is: in three years when I’m on line at your gangbang please be sure to let me know the name of the coked out 19 year old who just took your dream job so I can congratulate her.
I think it’s pretty clear that Lisa Love didn’t chew LC out because, frankly, LL barely remembers who LC is since LC doesn’t really work there. It’s tough to get all riled up about some girl you pretend-hired as a publicity stunt and who you only have to see once a month (maybe) for the inevitable “boss scene.”
Something about Heidi reminds me of Jennifer Beals. Anyone else agree?
OK, I’m watching last night’s episode again and is it possible that Heidi didn’t actually get IN to that school? We never actually see her go to class and now that she has her dream job she is going to “drop out” after the first day/week? Hmmm…
Isn’t Jennifer Beals actually pretty ?
hilcat- good call I think you might be on to something
No, Heidi doesn’t really remind me of Jennifer Beals, because Jennifer Beals is actually beautiful, talented, and well-educated. (Yeah, I know, she did Flashdance, but she’s redeemed herself on The L Word.)
Whoever said “Heidi makes me ashamed to be a woman,” I agree. She just represents every negative stereotype out there. I know we all laugh at Lauren, but it seems like she has some semblance of the idea that you have to WORK to get ahead.
Oh yeah, and AMEN to whoever said that what Heidi really wants to do isn’t PR. It’s more like event-planning, which is different. Can’t wait for the moment when Heidi realizes she’s actually the 2d coffee bitch!
Patricia (#24): Good for you, I’m glad to hear it. I was thinking more of the people who show up for American Idol actually thinking they have a shred of talent, or that they will be accepted without having prepared, and then are crushed and ANGRY when they’re rejected. At least the audience sees the audition process. On The Hills, they present it as “reality” that these two dolts will get farther than a bussing job, don’t show any competition, or their being rejected from any school or position, even with a ridiculous interview like Heidi’s. Along these lines, I’m sure that when (and if) Heidi gets kicked out of school, she’ll just go on to something more fabulous — and keep that apartment.
Hardly@work #9> Thank you for mentioning the obnoxious Heidi “yeah yeah yeah” in the previews. Whenever I saw that I wanted to slap her a little bit harder than I normally do when I hear her speak.
To everyone who says LC wasn’t being a good friend, I think it’s really difficult to be happy for someone who is so vapid and never does any work and gets whatever she wants. The only question is why is LC, excuse me, Lauren friends with her in the first place?
I sooo love/hate this show. I actually had to take a time-out this week and make myself take a few deep breaths because Heidi is so effing annoying. I honestly cannot believe that people like her exist (I loved the ” I really didn’t think women like her existed outside of broad comedies” comment, B-Side).
If there is a next season, they need to work on how transparent everything is — it’s painfully obvious that LC didn’t get in trouble because of the cameras, that Heidi got her interview because of the cameras, and Heidi got a JOB (gasp) because of the cameras. Everyone wants publicity, so they’ll put up with a moron for a few months just to get it. (Now, I don’t think Lauren’s a complete moron, but in the real world, she would have lost her internship for completely ignoring her boss’s instructions.)
In the end though… whatever. I’ll keep watching.
Oh and PS, anyone else think that when she wears it down, Heidi has a seriously mom-like haircut?
This episode converted me to team LC! Plus I think Whitney is the new Roz.
Hilcat, I am with you on:
A) I watched the cell phone scene three times and could not tell if she had hung up on Heidi or been disconnected. The debate rages on at my house.
B)Wouldn’t it be lovely to breeze through life without realizing when you have done soemthing really dumb? Goddam my self awareness.
I agree with g-child. Why is Lauren friends with this idoit? Why can’t she find some friends with some motivation to actually want to acheive something in life? Surely there are these kinds of people in school with her.
I’m sure at LC’s age I was friends with my share of idiots – in fact, at times, I’m sure I was even the idiot (may still be). In high school that behavior is “funny” because it doesn’t really impact anything but with the “responsibility” she has now it will probably get old.
If I understand correctly, she and Heidi don’t live together anymore (of course she lives with Jason so I’m not sure that’s any better), so maybe LC did get tired of it.
I just rewatched the hang up scene and it was DEFINITELY a hang up. She snapped the phone shut and then said “weird” in this sarcastic way, as if it were an accident even though it clearly wasn’t, which was totally for her more submissive sideckick Whitney’s benefit. Lauren is such a smug bitch, she couldn’t even pretend to be excited for her friend. (Who may be vapid, but at least she realizes the truth–that hard work gets you NOWHERE!) Can’t wait to see Jason recommence making her miserable next week! (Down with team LC!)
I’m sure that LC was acting bitchy at Heidi because Heidi isn’t so much pretending to be stupid, as she’s exaggerating it for the cameras. Sort of how Jessica Simpson did for Newlyweds. It worked for Jessica. But this show is really slow. I hope Jason spices things up a bit.
Another thing that bugs the crap outta me is that the show makes it seem as if everything in LA is soooo easy and people just get jobs left and right. Yeah right! It’s super hard out there and bosses are not so kind during interviews. When you get rejected at an interview you know it right there and then. You don’t wait for a call all anxious. Anyhoo, I can’t stop watching this friggin’ train wreck. I agree with the poster who said that LC needs to speak. I think the time I really heard her inunciate was the episode on Laguna when she caught Jason kissing Jessica. She was awesome that time. I actually saw passion in her eyes and heard authority in her voice. Here’s to hoping that something really sets her off!

Poor LC. I would be seething mad too if I’m working my tail off for a career and my village idiot friend gets a good job with little to no effort.
LC will be on Regis & Kelly tomorrow. My cable guide calls her “television personality Lauren Conrad.” Nice
From maybeimamazed02 (#32):
“Can’t wait for the moment when Heidi realizes she’s actually the 2d coffee bitch!”
Ha! That’s exactly what she is. I love how she’s too dumb to even realize that just because she works FOR an even planning firm, that doesn’t mean she actually gets to plan events. She will never get to do the type of work she really wants to do if she doesn’t finish college, and she doesn’t even get that.
That reminds me, I saw a promo for next week’s episode that shows Heidi at work with that Bolthouse guy saying something to her like “Did you make my sandwich yet?” Good stuff.
I think Heidi’s idea of “event planning” and “PR” is that SOMEONE ELSE DOES THE ACTUAL WORK and that she just shows up to have fun. She is just that ridiculous. At the same time she is basically a very boring person.
Look, I know Heidi is an absolute moron. However, Lauren is straight up being a hater! That whole “Fashion school dropout” jingle essentially exposed Lauren as an idiot who is just smart enough to realize she should be insecure. Heidi, bless her little heart, is too dumb to know she should be insecure. That said, I don’t know what my point is…
hey someone stole my comment name… I’m G
PPS, i just rewatched the ep at the gym… when they are walking into LAX it appears that Brent is standing outside with all the bouncers (or he has a look alike) and Heidi says something to him on the way in…
I don’t know if this was already mentioned, but Whitney, like, totally reminds me of Izzy from Grey’s….long blonde hair, crazy smile? They could be twins!
This show is boring
Yep. That was definitely Brent Dolthouse being chatted-up by Snydie on her way in. (One could tell by the tell-tale dingleberry residue on the end of her nose).
Just one more point for The Hills Contrivance Police
Wow, those girls are a real bunch of dullards. LC sure is a passive-agressive little bitch tho, isn’t she? She cannot even feign interest in Heidi’s contrived achievements and hangs up on her in the middle of a phone call.
