Watching MTV

Did you all catch that jaw-dropping countdown of the most expensive “Cribs” MTV has ever shown? Well, it made me hate my house for sure. I’ll spare you the long list and cut to the chase: the most expensive house is worth $150 million dollars. Check out the video here

Can you believe it!? The most expensive crib isn’t even owned by a visible celebrity! To find out who the HELL this guy is (and how he made so much money), click “read the rest of this entry.”

A very interesting article has surfaced that discusses life after appearing on “My Super Sweet 16.” The subject is Alex Wikol, the midwestern rich girl whose party raised money for autism. Remember her? Well, evidently other people do, because “she gets recognized just about anywhere she goes.” Here are some deets about the party:

His daughter’s birthday bash, which was filmed at Birmingham’s Community House, grew in size and cost when the family realized she had been chosen for the show, Murray Wikol concedes. More kids got invitations. No expense was spared. But he won’t tell you how much it cost exactly.

Though the birthday party raised $4,000 for autism-related charity, the party itself doubtlessly cost way more. To find out just how much the Wikol’s money can buy, click “read the rest of this entry.”

It’s MadTV! Usually I find this program childish and humorless, but they sure struck a chord with their parody of “The Hills”! The impression of LC is uncanny! Check it out:

Jessica Smith, who was recently sentenced in her DUI case (read about it here), opened up about her opinions regarding Lindsay Lohan. Evidently, Jessica feels that Lindsay should not receive any special treatment, because otherwise “she won’t learn her lesson.” Read:

I think she needs real help, not Promises-type of help with massages and everything. She needs to go to a real place to address her problem. The bottom line is she needs help. She keeps messing up.

I think she deserves whatever punishment she gets. If she gets off just because she’s Lindsay Lohan, that’s ridiculous. If someone slaps her on the wrist, and is like, ‘oh, you bad girl,’ she won’t learn her lesson.

Sound advice from one Beverly Hills chick to another. It’s a vicious cycle. Read the rest of the interview after the jump.

Geeze, we do them a favor by tolerating them while they’re on TV; don’t bother us with your drama when it’s not on television! Yes, Brody Jenner and Spencer Pratt from “The Hills” are, like, not friends anymore. Awesome. (They’re pictured here, sandwiching Heidi Montag). Apparently, things went awry when Pratt spoke ill of Jenner’s then girlfriend Nicole Richie in a DETAILS magazine article. I’ve read the article and it basically says that Brody Jenner used Nicole Richie for his own publicity, which many have suspected all along. The two boys are now on two opposing teams: it’s Brody and LC vs. Spencer and Heidi. Hopefully it’s a death match (and no one’s a winner).

Sigh, what do you all think?

How did this sneak up on me!? Ladies and gentlement, MTV has packed their things and moved on from Laguna Beach, only to descent upon the close by Newport Harbor for their new series… “Newport Harbor.” This show appears to be literally an extension of “Laguna Beach,” just with new castmembers and a new location:

“Now we are moving up the coast to a new town with new faces and a new high school, but with the same drama of dealing with relationships, cliques, family and friends,” Tony DiSanto, MTV’s executive vice president for series development and programming, said in a statement. “The real O.C. is a beautiful backdrop to this universal story and this year we go back to the heart of the drama … the wistful last year of school.”

I could do without the pathetic references to the speaker’s “wistful last year of school,” but at least he gives us some good info: expect “Laguna Beach”-type story lines. Plain and simple. The official website words things a little differently:

For three years we have lived, loved and come of age with the teenagers of Laguna Beach. This season, we’re moving up the coast… to Newport Harbor! Join a new group of friends as they discover new loves, face new rivalries and suffer new heartbreaks. On the road to their first kiss, the newest, hottest couple at school contend with an overprotective father and a girl that’s used to getting everything she wants. Meanwhile, former best friends compete for the affection of a sophomore beauty. As they prepare to leave their childhood behind, they’ll find that high school isn’t always a day at the beach. New beauty, new town, new love and new faces: Newport Harbor - The Real Orange County.

It seems we may get a little bit of everything in this new series. More shirtless, well-tanned pictures after the jump.

God, why must we follow every move “The Hills” kids make? I suppose that’s just my lot in life. Let’s get to it. Apparently Brody Jenner was playing football and the beach when LC decided to stop by and join in. One thing led to another and Brody Jenner ended up with a broken finger.

According to E!, Brody Jenner went to the ER and returned with a set of X-rays and a full cast on his left arm. He told the crew, “I’m gonna get surgery, but I’m gonna live.” Of course, Lauren laughed at the ridiculous cast and Brody got his feelings hurt, sparking an argument you’re sure to watch on MTV. E! reports that it all ended in a long-winded heart-to-heart, the kind of stuff shows like The Hills were made for.

Good thing that E! has us covered. Remember that “The Hills” premieres August 13th, this little subplot is sure to be included.

Perez brought this story to my attention. Check out “The Hills” star Heidi Montag in her new role: model. Role model!!!! Did you just LOL? Fine, then just look at the pictures. Click “read more” to see her in other compromising poses.

Clearly, Kristen Cavallari doesn’t have enough money already. To remedy this, she teamed up with Lasik to bring us some 20/20 sponsorship. Here’s a screenshot of the Facebook group/advertisement:

If you head over to realitylasik.com you can see all of Kristen’s Lasik adventures by watching the 9 webisodes currently available. Here’s a short snippet explaining where the hell this website came from:

Follow Kristin on her LASIK journey (and get a unique snapshot of her life). It’s a great way to get an insider’s perspective of what it’s like to have LASIK, from initial consultation to a new life without contacts or glasses.

I really have no problem with people selling out (what do you think I’m doing here!), I just had no idea that this mega promotion even existed. I’d usually say that I’ll keep you updated with this story, but I’m pretty sure that this is all there is. Let’s hope.

As I was compiling today’s post I stumbled upon what appears to be Kristen Cavallari’s MySpace page. Though her profile is set to private, you can still see her default profile picture. Well, check out the screen shot:

It definitely, definitely appears that Ms. Cavallari is boozing it up. (Remember that she’s a year shy of her 21st birthday, so this behavior is a no-no). I suppose the drink could be, um, kool aid, but then try to explain the lime wedge in her mouth. We’ve seen and heard rumblings of the “Laguna Beach” stars drinking before, but slapping it all over your MySpace page seems pretty middle school.

I suppose you have to take into account that the profile might not actually be hers, and just be one of the countless MySpaces forged by fans. But even if that’s the case, it’s definitely Kristen in the picture, so that really doesn’t change much.

Then again, the profile is set to private, so it most likely belongs to the one and only Kristen Cavallari.

First off, let’s catch up on some old-ish news. The house featured on “Run’s House,” belonging to “Rev. Run” Simmons and his family, has recently gone on the market. The asking price is $5.5 million, but it seems the family wants you to remember that Justine redecorated the house from top to bottom.

The house has six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a home theater, three fireplaces, a sound studio, a hot tub, and a basketball court. Damn! I can see why they’re asking so much for the place!

Interesting to note is that “Rev. Run” purchased the house in 2003 for just $1.6 million. This means that—if the family does indeed sell their home—they’ll net a profit of $3.6 million. Sounds like they’ll have some spending cash to buy a new basketball court.
