Stephen + Lauren = Who Knows???!

Rumors ... abound. And what does the end of year connection between Lauren Conrad and Stephen Colletti mean for the new year?

As the faithful know, I've already cast my vote.

[Insert all of yoiur comments about how reality tv isn't real... and how I should get and/or concentrate on my own life.]

Just sayin'... IMHO, they make a great couple.

Halloween Creepy To The Hills!

You never expect celebrities to costume up from Aisle 9 at Walgreens... and yet here are Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt.

Cheap, yet eerily creepy... no?

And please, Spencer, don't you think your 'Speidi' reference is a little too literal? This outfit actually reiterates what everyone says about you... you're of no interest whatsoever without your gullible, low self esteemed, ex-best friend of Lauren Conrad on your arm.

Just sayin'.

Spencer Pratt is a Creep

I said it before and I'll say it again... well, even if I didn't say it in these exact terms before, still...

Spender Pratt is a creep.

Well that... and he is about negative 17 million on a scale of 1 to 10, as far as being "sexually appealing". There's not enough bandwidth in the universe, much less the world wide web, to list the many reasons.

And Heidi is either an equally egocentric money hungry, publicity hound... or she suffers from such low self esteem that bagging an "important" guy is the only way she can feel good about herself.

Either way... sad. Just sad.

Pathetic Non-Celebrity

Spencer Pratt is pathetic, as he blogs about blogs that blog about 'Spencer Pratt'.

Not Good Enough For Lauren Conrad

Last week,we were worried that she was still in love with Jason.

And after last night's episode of 'The Hills, we might assume that Lauren Conrad is once again enamored with the deep yet shallow Brody Jenner.

Let's all (ye with little or no personal lives) say it in unison... Lauren is SO much better than that.

She hasn't endured the agony of the Laguna Beach high road (past Kristin, Stephen and Jason)... to settle for a smooth talking pimp, has she?????

Listen to your mom, L.C.!

Surely LC Isn't Still Smitten

It's always hard to celebrate the moving on, much less engagement of a former love. And last night Lauren had to endure it, on The Hills.

I'm hoping it was just for good television, but previous episodes seemed to raise a glimmer of hope in Lauren, that she and Jason Wahler might rekindle their friendship, if not something more.

And those feelings were replaced in last night's episode of The Hills, when Lauren learned of the engagement. I'm hoping the emotions that surged... were pity and relief.

Stephen Colletti & Lauren Conrad, Together Again!

All is well with the world again! (I really DO need to get a life!)

Stephen has split with Hayden Panettiere, and he and L.C. were spotted, attending as and looking very much like a couple, at a party for Hornitos Tequila Thursday night.

"Stephen and Lauren definitely looked like an item, "a source tells Star. "They hung out together the entire time and at one point, Stephen grabbed Lauren and took her out to the dance floor, where they danced to the song 'One More Time. ' They were laughing and flirting. They looked really happy and cute together."

And Just For Fun: Laguna Beach

I happened on a really cool blog a few weeks ago. I've visited a few times since and the site is regularly updated.

If the Laguna Beach cast swept you up too, you gotta keep current with "The Laguna Beach Hook Up".

There IS a DOG: Kimberly and Talan cancel wedding plans

Kimberly Stewart and "Laguna Beach" star Talan Torriero say their wedding plans are off."

It was just too soon to enter into a lifelong commitment," their representatives said in a statement, the Associated Press reports. "It is better to have a brief engagement than a short marriage. The couple continue to share their time together and remain open to whatever the future may hold."

Ok... I don't know why it hadn't occurred to me sooner, but the reality of the way the reality series has come into reality... I feel like all my favorite LB folks have been cheated out of their true emotions.

Who knew what Lauren and Stephen could mean to each other? Or to anyone else...

I'm sorry, but throw Paris Hilton into the picture (as well as many, many others)... and life is no longer real.

Take out their interests in surfing and cooking and romance... and you have just another group of celebrities without a grounded investment in life.

Color me stupid and naive... I thought the relationship between Lauren and Stephen might mean more than that.

Talan... Engaged?

Excuse me? Talan is engaged to Kimberly Stewart???

Please! I beg you, Talan! Say it isn't so! No slight intended toward Kimberly Stewart... I'm a big fan of her dad's, and I have nothing in particular against her (well, excepting that statement she made about my gal, Jennifer Anniston!!!).

It all just seems way too superficial... and I feel ashamed of my gullability. I believed Talan to be chivalrous and genuine... but the article concludes by stating that he's attempting to start a career in music. Well, doesn't that explain a lot?!

LC Back in LB, with Stephen!

LC and Stephen appear to be finally heating up in the hot tub.

If events unfold as I believe they should, it will mean that the year (plus some) that I have anxiously awaited and predicted the ultimate hookup... will at long last, be realized.

YES, my life is THAT exciting. And NO, I'm not going to tell you how old I am.
