The MTV hit show The Hills has confused us for years as to whether the show is a “reality” show or if it’s staged. It’s always come off to me like they film the exciting parts of their lives like when they fight and date weirdos and then ignore them the rest of the time.
A lot of questions have been asked about their work situations and if everything is as fab as the want you to believe. It looks like the answer to that is a big NO!
Here’s what Defamer.com dug up:
LAUREN CONRAD
Show Storyline: According to the show, Lauren is a student at FIDM. She began the show with a long internship at Teen Vogue, then moved to a job at frightening PR firm People’s Revolution.
Real-Life Storyline: Lauren is a fashion designer who has shown at the last two LA Fashion Weeks. The show persists in insisting that she is still just a student at FIDM, despite the fact that FIDM students tell Defamer that she only sets foot on campus to film scenes for The Hills. Paparazzi, who follow Lauren relentlessly, never photograph her at the school she supposedly goes to. She has also inked a terrible deal to attempt sentences longer than three words as a young adult writer.
AUDRINA PATRIDGE
Show Storyline: Audrina worked at Quixote Studios as a blank-eyed receptionist before transferring to a job at Epic Records, where she annoys fellow coworker Chiara with boring stories about fake on/off boyfriend Justin Bobby.
Real-Life Storyline: Audrina has leveraged brand-new breasts into an acting career, appearing in films like Into the Blue 2: The Reef and Sorority Row. If you call Epic to do business with Audrina, you will be informed, “I’m sorry, she isn’t here,” because she doesn’t actually work there.
WHITNEY PORT
Show Storyline: Like Lauren, Whitney started her career at Teen Vogue before moving to People’s Revolution. Now, she has moved to New York for spinoff show The City, where she is working for Diane Von Furstenberg.
Real-Life Storyline: Except she, too, doesn’t actually work there. Again, like Lauren, Whitney has started her own off-camera clothing line, Eve & A. Also, despite the MTV-engineered romance she will have in her upcoming show, Whitney has been dating starf**king film critic Ben Lyons, not Tara Reid-f**king rocker Jay Lyon.
HEIDI MONTAG
Show Storyline: Heidi managed to fail upward in a job with Bolthouse Productions, until she was fake-fired this season. Reports suggest, though, that she will return to her job in some capacity.
Real-Life Storyline: Even Heidi’s consummate fakery couldn’t sell the idea that she ever truly worked at Bolthouse. The real Heidi is a beloved recording artist.
For some reason, the ladies still pull in viewers even though their lives are pretty much false on the so-called reality show.
But what’s the damn point, that’s what I want to know. Show how ridiculous all these people are and I might actually watch.
