This is definitely one of the funnier recaps I've read from the Hills.

Speidi is so pathetic. Keep telling yourself thats how you want to spend your 21st heidi! Maybe one day you'll believe it.

My favorite part was "welcome to hollywood. whats your dream" Hilarious.

justin bobby just pisses me off. All the guys I know that avoid labels on thier relationships are having sex with lots of other people and don't want to have any responsibility to anyone. Audrina don't believe his lines!

Great recap, satisfactory episode. I still don't get Justin, does he have his own way of speaking or is he just trying to confuse or throw people off? "She's pretty good"... WHAT?

Great recap! It was so freaking funny.

Was Audrina wearing an oversized t-shirt as a dress? Maybe I'm just not fashionable, but to me it looked like she was at a hoodlum slumber party.

longer recaps please!!

my favorite part of this episode was when not the new elodie walks in with the flowers and heidi says, "are those for me?"

no heidi, not the new elodie is taking her flowers on a walk around the office like a parade.

The only thing I can figure out about Justin Bobby saying "She's pretty good". Is that maybe he meant she's good and not looking. I think he likes to portray himself as a deep person. He's like a Johnny Depp wannabe. Speidi is just ridiculous. I think they are trying to make Heidi look as pathetic as possible so everyone will start to feel sorry for her. I can't wait for next week's show. Maybe we are finally going to get some real drama that's not voiced over.

I have never once, not ever, seen a fashion show in which any of the clothes coming down the runway were the least bit NORMAL and something I'd consider wearing. Nor have I ever seen them anywhere else for public comsumption. Am I just not getting it? What on earth is the point of these things?

I just can't understand WHY, with all the hot guys available in LA, Audrina chooses Justin Bobby. It boggles the mind, it really does.

I thought Heidi actually did have a 21st birthday party - in Vegas (when she sang her horrible song in public for the first time and Spencer was jumping up and down behind her)...now clearly she had no other friends there anyway, but she still had a party. But I think it's funny how she thinks that saying that she is happy only being with Spencer will make her believe it. She is pathetic! I love not the new elodie...the lunch convo was priceless. As far as fashion shows - I think only super rich people have access to the stuff they show on them.

FYI... the band's name is The Ruse.

Justin Bobby is such a tool! I kept thinking, is he referring to how "good" she is in bed? Talk about doing whatever he can to avoid labeling their relationship.

Funny how MTV didn't show Heidi's "birthday celebration" singing at club LAX in the Las Vegas Luxor hotel (remember Perez Hilton watching her lip sync while sitting near dancing Spencer?). They really portrayed her birthday as a sad occasion. But then again, Spencer and Heidi tend to drag out the celebrating.

VolGirl-I'm glad you noticed her shirt dress too. God I was so confused. And I almost felt bad for Heidi for a second and then remembered she actually did have that party in Vegas.

The haiku and the Dov Charney line? Priceless!

"Marc by Marc's line for children seems to be inspired by German military clowns, a little known humanitarian operative that Marc discovered when researching sober historical figures last summer as part of his recovery. The fashion reminds Lisa Love of her days at The Factory and she mouths to the gay boys sitting across the runway, "Got any blow?" Every one has a great time. "

Thanks Again.

I don't remember who said that thing about justinbobby wanting to be a johnny depp wannabee but you took the words right out of my mouth. I was watching the movie blow the other night and here I am wondering who the hell he reminds me of and it's justinbobby!That movie must be his religion. If you just watch it and listen to his speech, actions, and the scummy style, and I'm sure the drug use applies as well. He's such a slime ball. He gives me goosebumps and not the good kind. I hope that next weeks episode is better than these last two. As always those I enjoy the recaps and almost look forward to them more than the show.
-Whitney

after hearing how the production crew tried to manipulate gavin a few episodes back and also seeing how the supporting characters tend to ask questions in a solely expository manner, it seemed to me that the producers may have coached the ruse band guy to get justin to clarify his status with audrina.

not to take up for justin (b/c he is a bit of a loser) but, he may have been giving those vague answers to thwart the manipulative efforts of the production crew.

kind of funny, actually.

p.s. LOVED the Medium reference. luv that show.

Ummm. . . the Muse have already been doscovered I think 5 years ago. They have 2 albums out. Go, MTV is such a poseur in the music scene, so sad how far they have fallen in their own industry. Maybe next week Deadrina will discover The Rollin Stones or rap music.

Topic D is: It's nothing personal, just business.

It was so sweet how Spencer kept plying Heidi with more wine because she was "too uptight" at the most fabulous 21st birthday dinner/party ever.

How shocking to think that Teen Vogue tasks for Lauren and Whitney were going to blow up in their faces, only for Lisa Love/Amy Astley, etc. to congratulate them on a great job at the end! Just like Whitney's NYC meeting last week... hmmm. It's like an episode of (the smurfs (any cartoon/sitcom) where it looks like gargamel is going to defeat them, but everything's ok at the end of the 30 minute episode.

Good recap!

Great, great recap!! I too was confused about Audrina's shirtdress thing. My first thought was "how cliche, they are wearing leather jackets to a rock show". Justinbobby was a freaking riot repeating "she's really good." I was seriously laughing out loud when I read that. I was confused as well when Heidi mentioned her "surprise" birthday dinner. It was great to see more Whitney.

Next weeks episode looks wonderful!! Can't wait for it.

mattypopo - the band was the ruse. not muse the famous band.

Who says 'hot and heavy'?? Are they on a episode of Seinfeld? "I don't want him to think i'm hot and heavy if he's not hot and heavy!"

I'm probably the only one that understood what Justin Bobby meant when he said 'she's pretty good'. He just meant that she's good where she's at now....meaning whatever her and him have and no one else.

And I don't know why, but I thought Spencer was a little endearing at the b-day dinner with Heidi. I kinda felt bad for him and he seemed to be sweet that night. Maybe it was because he wasn't saying anything mean. He was growing on me in that scene.

And on a side note....kind of off the topic, but do any of you remember when Kristen Cav got Punk'd? I was just thinking back to that and it just dawned on me that the guy she was with on that episode was Frankie! I think they were just friends, because he's friends with Brody and she was dating Brody. But if you watch that episode he was holding her hand, maybe it was to help her get away from that guy who's car she hit. But, i dunno. Just a thought. =)

I kind of get the impression that Heidi and Spencer are so sick of the way they've been edited that they just sit around, trying to give the producers nothing to work with.
I mean, Heidi had a birthday in Vegas, and it would have been awesome to see her humiliate herself singing and waving her arms about, why didn't they show that if they could have?

Hey you guys,

I just mistyped "The Muse" when I mentioned the band the first time... sorry. I got it right at the after party. Whoops.

Thanks for reading and laughing.

xo

Ahhhh. . . . The Ruse. Well I was going by the recappers recap of the show. In any case JB sucks.

Any you guys in the La la Land there know if a band by the name of "The Daileys" still plays. I saw them once down in San Diego and haven't seen them since, but heard they were from L.A.

I think most people got what JB was going for when he said "she's good," he's just getting made fun of because that is a weak reply when the question is "can I ask out the girl you're humping?"

He kind of reminds me, looks-wise, of Jesus.

Doesn't anyone have comments about the fact idiot ordered a glass of wine during business hours? This isn't the 70's dear. People don't do 3-martini lunches anymore.

Love the German clown soldiers bit. Love the teapot.

Recap did a great job of incorporating movie lines, which I love.

Previews look good, but it's a bit embarrassing the producers have to force encounters (Frankie and Spence; the Ketchup scene; now this).

What the f$%k am I saying. The fact I watch this so much is embarrassing.

KatAttack... I forgot about the whole glass of wine at lunch thing. I totally thought the same thing.

I rarely stick up for Heidi, but I don't think the whole ordering wine at lunch thing was a big deal. I work in the marketing business, and many a lunches include an alcoholic beverage...

Grr...also on the lines of sticking up for Heidi and Spencer, it is getting a little annoying that they (MTV editors) are always making them out to be bad/boring people with no friends. Heidi clearly had a 21st bash, and for whatever reason the MTV cameras weren't there. Why make it seem like the only thing she did was have a cheesy dinner with Spency?

I am excited for next week's episode, as staged at it might be. Is it sad that I was hoping for a Heidi/LC reunion when I first saw the beginning of the promo?

Urban Hobbit...love it.

Did anyone else notice the weird editing in the scene with JustinBobby and the guy from The Ruse? Maybe I'm tripping, but after JB says, "She's pretty good," the 2nd time and the guy tries to clarify by asking, "Is she available to be asked out?", it doesn't look like that is what he is saying. You can't see his mouth moving, but you can see his jaw and it seems like he says something different, but that's all the editors captioned him as saying. Maybe I'm just looking everywhere for fakeness since it's been so obvious in previous episodes.

I think that it depends on where you work whether a glass of wine at lunch is okay. Certainly on your 21st birthday with a friend from work one glass is okay. 3 martinis on a random Tuesday with the chairman of the board, not so okay. If you're at a work function and your boss doesn't drink you shouldn't either. If you work with Europeans wine is a standard at any office gathering.

Loved the recap, Ting!

I still can't get over those leather jackets. I mean, if they were wearing jeans and t shirts...or just jeans it would've looked better. It just looked like one of those "What in this picture doesn't belong". Seriously, I bet they were handed those jackets by the PAs right before MTV started rolling film. That's why JustinBobby's was too short.

Also, as far as JustinBobby acting likes he's soooo over it, I don't buy it. Oooh, he's so cool rebeling against MTV. Bullshiz! He's on that show for the same reason everyone else is on the show: 15 minutes. C'mon, you can date a cast member and not be taped. Just ask Whitney's boyfriend...oh wait you can't cause no one knows who he is.

Ugh...I'm started to dislike JB more than Spencer...and I never thought that would have been possible.

"Urban Hobbit" - I love it! I can see it now - JustinBobby, wearing his trademark Johnny Depp-but-in-a-douchebag-way clothing, taking time between tonsil-hockey with Audrina and doing crack (or whatever he does that makes him seem so retarded) to ponder life and guitars and make up strange haikus. It's gonna be deep.

Loved the "Urban Hobbit," ting.

I bought the whole glass-of-wine with lunch mainly because I still don't buy that Heidi is an actual employee at Bolthouse.

Yes, who DOES Spencer text all the time?

I'm with yankeesfan; what happened to Heidi's 21st birthday party where she sang and did that crazy flapping bird dance while the Monchichi bobbed up and down in the background? That would have made for good MTV.

Ting Lee, did you ever see the episode of The Soup where they had a film clip of a guy, who had his own secret language? It was only 2 words, TING POW. It was really funny.

Loved the recap. I am not going to blame editors on the Speidi thing. Clearly they have been manipulating the conversations and staging the scenes all along. This never was a reality show anyway. I don't think any of MTV shows are as "real" as they would like us to believe.

Besides, I love watching the Monchichi and his little puppet. I'm glad that he fixed the microchip he implanted in Heidi's boobs, um sorry I mean in her brain. Pick up the issue of Life and Style magazine, there is a picture of Speidi at the checkout of a Target store, she and the Monchichi both look like they are in a trance.

Maybe it is the lights in Target, maybe they interfered with the boob chip, whoops there I go again, I mean brain chip.

Till next week Ting.

MTV did sorta capture Heidi's birthday celebration. That dinner scene was shot in Vegas and if you look at the TMZ tape of her horrible lip synching, you'll see that she's wearing the same outfit. MTV is probably like most networks in that they won't let their "stars" use them to promote other projects. You likely won't see Lauren doing photo shoots for Mark cosmetics or anything to do with creating her fashion line either.

Heidi and Spencer are really sad and pathetic. They have alienated everyone in their lives and they deserve to be living on Loser Island together.

Bustin still sucks. He's just playing Audrina. He has to play silly games of semantics in order to mark his bitch without making a real commitment. Lame fucking cock blocking dork. I hope he gets head lice!

I missed the episode so could someone clarify for me:
Did Deadrina wear that shirt-dress on JB's bike?

This just in! I read a couple of websites that are saying that Lauren and Heidi are friends again and were seen together a few weeks ago. This is from one of the websites:

~~~Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag have put their differences aside and ended their celebrity feud. The Hills stars were seen together the weekend before Halloween getting into Lauren’s black Mercedes convertible, which was parked in the garage of Lauren’s building, a source tells Star. “They were laughing, hugging and being very affectionate with one another,” says the source.
“There were no MTV cameras around,” the source adds. “This seemed like the real deal. I saw Heidi coming to visit Lauren at her apartment without her fiancé Spencer Pratt.”
So why the low-key meeting? “I think Lauren and Heidi made a secret pact not to tell anyone,” the source says. After all, The Hills thrives on drama from their falling out. Things will heat up on Monday’s episode though when Lauren and Heidi have a face-to-face talk. Considering that Lauren tells Heidi, “I want to forgive you, and I want to forget you,” in a video preview of the episode, it doesn’t seem like an on-screen reconciliation is imminent ~~~

If you google 'Lauren and Heidi friends again' You'll see a couple websites that talk about it.

recklesssaturn:
Longer recaps? Ting is already making the most out of a show that literally has no plots. Nothing happens. Ever.

EZ Rider:
"He kind of reminds me, looks-wise, of Jesus."

Justin has hair like wool and bronze feet? Ohhh, I get it now. You mean the movie versions of Jesus. I wonder if Jesus answered the "Are those your disciples?" question with "They're pretty good."
