Debate party at my house! No… Actually I promised my mom I would catch up on “Dexter” with her tonight, so I’ll have to catch it later. Here’s a preview of what I’ll be missing. (HuffPo)

Tragedy! Could “The Hills” be breathing its last, vapidly assy breaths? (WIMB)

In “No Fucking Shit Already” news, Madonna and Guy Ritchie are supposedly divorcing. Finally. (divorce-2/">Celebslam)

Rachel Maddow and David Frum throw down! Next time I want to see hand-to-hand combat. (QuizLaw)

And now, switching gears from “relatively smart Republican” to “dumbest Republican ever,” a man names his child after the McCain-Palin ticket. (divorces/">BestWeekEver)

I know you guys probably don’t give a shit about Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer getting back together, but it’s been a real slow pop culture news week, what with all the serious type shit going on. (IDLYITW)

Cheeta, star of those old Tarzan movies and the oldest living non-human primate at 76-years-young, is missing his star on the walk of fame. See? I wadn’t kidding. (FourFour)

Here are six disastrous uses of work email. Work email is not your friend. (Cracked)

Here’s the latest in the recent string of celebrity political endorsement videos. Hayden Panettiere says that “No one fucks with John McCain.” OK, so this one was kind of funny. Suck it, Joseph Gordon-Levitt! (Popoholic)

Jenny Lewis’s second solo album, “Acid Tongue” comes out today, and here she talks about the new album along with a bunch of other stuff. (AV Club)

Mischa Barton must be really starting to run low on her “O.C.” residuals. (cityrag)

I think I posted about this before? Maybe? Well here is more info on the “Best Week Ever” revamp with Paul F. Tompkins. (NY Times)

Food and art! Two of my favorite things, masterfully brought together! (mental floss)

The day The Hills gets cancelled is the day I leap for fucking joy.

the hills are totally dunzo? That's so not roofus

Posted by: dylanj at October 15, 2008 12:23 PM

I fear that if The Hills goes off the air I won't know what color sunglasses I should be wearing. Or what headband width! OMG, are headbands even still in? (panic mode)

Posted by: becks at October 15, 2008 12:27 PM

Finally. I could recreate "The Hills" with my four dogs and three cats, as about 90% of that show is people staring blankly.

But it would be insulting to my pets, as all of them have too much self worth to ever date Spencer.

The only hope the GOP has of squatting and grunting out a McCain victory in November is to rely on the Diebold vote - and pray to their Blood-and-Thunder Wargod that Obama hasn't amassed a wide enough margin of victory to make that electronic ballot box stuffing effective.

And Thank Godtopus that "The Hills" is going the way of all flesh. Huzzah.

Posted by: The Wanderer at October 15, 2008 12:37 PM

What's "The Hills" and why does anybody talk about it? By the way does anyone want to have a best freinds party for the debate?

"gassed one million Obamas with his mouth chamber."

HA!

Posted by: Admin11 at October 15, 2008 12:42 PM

Whoo, more Jenny Lewis! I'm listening to Rise Up With Fists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! right now. And holy shit, I want to make a powdered sugar snowfall. In my mouth.

P.S. Semen semen semen semen.

Posted by: Sabrina at October 15, 2008 12:53 PM

There's nothing wrong with the hills! What the hell's the matter with you people?

Lauren, Lo and Audrina are this generation's role models! I mean, the fact that Audrina is concerned that Lo is putting a strain on her relationship with Lauren? And the two tearfully make amends? And you didn't tear up with them? ARE YOU A ROBOT?!

And when Heidi's sister, Holly, moves in with her and Spence? Can someone say "AWKWARD"? I mean, Jesus, the only other friend Holly only has in LA is Lauren - you think she's gonna get those two divas back together? FAT CHANCE! Who hasn't been there? WHO? JESUS, DON'T YOU PEOPLE HAVE A SOUL?

And don't even get me started on the struggles Lauren has to go through now that she's decided to start dating again. Thank Christ Brody's out of the picture - he was nothing but trouble for her and her career aspirations. And... is that... is that smoke I'm smelling? Why, yes it is. Smells like someone's rekindling a relationship with super-hunk Doug. YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP YOU ASSES! THIS IS LIFE - AS REAL AND AS GRITTY AS YOU CAN TAKE, YOU GODDAMED HIPSTERS!

"Oh it's not reality and scenes are set up specifically for filming and my life isn't as glamorous and so I have to tear it apart". Well, you know what? How about this - GROW UP! LEAVE THE HILLS ALONE! LEAVE THEM ALONE AND GO BACK TO YOUR BUFFY VIDEOS!

It's just sad that you people can't handle real life. The real life of THE HILLS - The. Greatest. Show. On. Television. Period.

Posted by: Skitz at October 15, 2008 12:56 PM

Skitz, you owned my soul with that.

Posted by: Kayanne at October 15, 2008 1:02 PM

But what will eat my soul when the hills goes off the air?

And really, Skitz, buffy videos? How ghetto do you think we are? We have that shit on dvd.

Posted by: Marra at October 15, 2008 1:12 PM

Cheetah got no damn star?! This is not right. What creature in Hollywood has possibly huffed more bananas in his career?*


*Trick question. Ryan Seacrest has a star.

Posted by: firedmyass at October 15, 2008 1:22 PM

firedmyass........ I'm speechless.

Posted by: SofĂ­a at October 15, 2008 1:25 PM

Oh, don't try to trick me, Marra - I know how you dirty hipsters work, what with your PBR Tall Boys, crusty old Chuck Taylors, adapting working class identity in a pseudo-ironic fashion. I see you watering your organic gardens whilst donning a vintage Sonic Youth tee, smoking your American Spirits and floating in an inauthentic sea of meaninglessness. You don't own DVD's - you have copies of a copy on VHS because you don't feel like "feeding the machine". You take a tongue-in-cheek pride in owning a black & white television precariously perched atop a milk crate housing your Atari 2600 and tattered back issues of The Onion.

Lauren,Audrina, Spencer & Heidi wouldn't be caught dead in your presence and it EATS AT YOUR SOUL...

Goddam Hipsters. VIVA THE HILLS!

Posted by: Skitz at October 15, 2008 1:39 PM

Holy shit, Skittiums. I think you need to drink more.

Posted by: Sarina at October 15, 2008 1:41 PM

Skitz, in my house there is actually a TV that my family has owned for at least my entire life. It is wood-paneled on the sides, has knobs and no remote, but is color. Also, it's currently hooked up to Dish Network. Damn thing just will not die, otherwise we would've replaced it.

Posted by: Genny (also Rusty) at October 15, 2008 1:51 PM

Lauren, Audrina, Spencer & Heidi would be dead in my presence. I would shoot them with my derringer heels that I bought ironically to mock Madonna. Then I would cut them up and cart them away in my 'this is not a plastic bag' tote and oversized Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen-inspired Marc Jacobs hobo knockoff.

I would invite my other hipster friends to a faux-funeral where we would read Bukowski out loud like psalms and sing 'Body Language' to a cassette that we'd play in our friend Matilda's vintage ghettoblaster; which will end up being really embarrassing for her because there'll be a shins cassette in it; she'll try to claim she was listening to it ironically, but everyone knows hipsters hate the Shins, so we'll shun her and she'll leave Williamsburg and go home to Indiana and change her name back to Amanda.

Posted by: Marra at October 15, 2008 2:07 PM

I still have a tv in my room that uses an antennae, if I didn't just use it for DVDs I'd honestly have to worry about switching to digital. I'll admit, I keep it around for hipster appeal.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at October 15, 2008 2:10 PM

"I'll admit, I keep it around for hipster appeal."

I thought I knew you, Optimus... I THOUGH I KNEEEEW YOOOOU! NOOOO!!

Sigh... If anyone wants me, I'll be at the Peach Pit - writing my The Hills fan fiction...

Posted by: Skitz at October 15, 2008 2:36 PM

Ummm! Food art.

Posted by: BWeaves at October 15, 2008 2:45 PM

We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of The Hills. Truly, this is a dark day for all of us. Whether it be Heidi's complete lack of a frontal lobe, Spencer's flesh-coloured pedo-beard, or Lauren's...ummmmmmm...fuck, who's Lauren again? Oh right, her. Well who gives a fuck about her?

Now, as we say our final goodbyes to the televised trainwreck that was The Hills, let us remember what we gained from it. We learned that we are so much better than everyone around us. We learned that teenagers (with the exception of those at Pajiba) are utter idiots and that they have no taste. And we learned that the world is, indeed, going to shit in a big fucking way. As we console the grieving widow, Skitz, let us lower the casket into the earth, and remember you are dust and to dust you shall return.

Now would someone please pour some gasoline on the grave and light this motherfucker up so as to eliminate the threat of zombies?

Thank you Sarina.

acid tongue has been out for awhile....

Posted by: cass at October 15, 2008 3:18 PM


I know that the PTB don't have any control over the ads on the site, but it makes me a little ill to come here and see a "Yes On 8" (CA initiative to repeal same-sex marriage via constitution amendment) ad flashing at me.

Posted by: Drake at October 15, 2008 3:20 PM

This is proof-positive that Madge's Vadge is artistic poison.

We all know who wears the pantsuits/stiletto boots in this family.

Also, what about that little baby she absconded/adopted from Malawi? So much for a stable family environment...

Posted by: Recondite at October 15, 2008 3:21 PM

Oh, you may have buried the show, you may have made a mockery of the fabulous lives of LA socialites, you may have even won the battle of these here interwebs, but as God as my witness, you kill one of these shows, another will pop up. I GUARANTEE IT! You can't kill shallow vapidness, Mr. Feist - quite the contrary - it must be embraced, it must be nourished, it must be held high atop the mound of it's predecessors (i.e. The Real World, Road Rules, My Super Sweet Sixteen, Pimp My Ride, etc...). Why? Simple: by keeping a show like The Hills on air, MTV networks can fill hours once rumored to contain actual music videos (gasp!), with the stupid, yet socially "meh" reality program, ensuring that the "brains" behind shows like Next and Date My Mom are kept hard at work figuring out how to maintain an on air "reality" for these over-exposed twats.

How could you all have been so blind? I don't like The Hills. I loathe it. But I'd rather it be on air for another twenty years than have newer, retardeder shows squeezed out of EmptyVee's corporate poop-chute. Look at what you're celebrating... Look at what you've done...

[...dim lights, turn on strobes and release small barrage of naked little people dancing ballroom-style while wearing punch-out masks of characters from The Hill...]

Posted by: Skitz at October 15, 2008 3:30 PM

By God, Skitz, you're right! Think of the spinoff shows? My god, they'll just keep on coming...

Always coming...

DEAR GOD, WHY?!?!?!

There is only one option to this: We must destroy MTV. No more "we can't even be bothered to pretend that this shit is fake" reality TV! No more Natasha Bedingfield opening montages of sparkling beaches and non-threateningly attractive white people. And no more fauxmosexual dating shows. As God as my witness, I DECLARE WAR ON MTV! (*Xena war cry!*)

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at October 15, 2008 3:43 PM

Goddam right. I've fired up the MurderTank, Brother Feist - I'll need you to make some sandwiches and pick up a sixer of Capri Sun. I'm stuck trying to figure out how to work this new GPS doohickey - the previous one had a LOCATE THINGS YOU HATE option on it, but Minimus gooped that up by spilling Guinness on/in it.

I bought him a customized beer cooler whatchamafrick he could easily hold with his turkey claw, but does he use it? Nooo - it makes him "look like a dork"... Well, I hope you weren't too attached to the original MurderGPS, Wendel - 'cause it's dead as day-old poo...

Posted by: Skitz at October 15, 2008 4:49 PM

The comforting thing to keep in mind about all the MTV re-reality fools? Regardless of this fleeting illusion of relevancy and success they feel right now, they will end up just as indigent, loathed and fucked-out as they would have on their own -- but faster, with even more crippling self-hatred and depression.

Posted by: firedmyass at October 15, 2008 4:50 PM

Mr. Feist, may I respectfully request that we declare war upon all those persons who emmulate, or attempt to place any social relevance, other than ingorant douchebagerry on these societal abortions that are called entertainment. There is a reason these shows are made. I say we go after the cause.

Posted by: Admin11 at October 15, 2008 4:52 PM

Well, that's just peachy, Admin11 - how the hell... Stupid GPS can't do anything right anyho... It USED to have a LOCATE LARGE AREAS OF STUPIDITY option too, but... GRAH!

Can we just have someone go undercover on one of them newfangled BLOG things and herd up the bunch of them into one location? I mean, I'm fine going house to house, but we'll have to take up a pledge for gas cash...

Posted by: Skitz at October 15, 2008 5:00 PM

"Retardeder" is my new favorite word.

Posted by: MM at October 15, 2008 5:36 PM

Skitz, when you're right, your right. MTV reality shows are like a hydra - and so we must crush them with boulders.

With regard to getting douchebags from all over together, perhaps we might stage a Hills Farewell music festival? Have Justin Timberlake, Fergie, and DMB come together in a bonnaroo-like festival of doucheness, and fools will follow. A perfect opportunity to unleash thy holy rage on the lot of them.

Also, I make pretty good snack packs - I use them for finals, and they include delicious homemade brownies, popcorn balls, peanut butter sammiches, puppy chow, and diet coke. I'd be happy to make them to fuel your jihad.

Posted by: Marra at October 15, 2008 5:36 PM

Is that what we've come to Marra... (sigh). Never thought we'd be headed down this dark road to Jihadsville, but I think in one way or another, this is where we'd make our final stand - at a Farewell to The Hills douchestravaganza. I hope we all make it through the throngs of idiocy and greet each other on the other side... (sniff) I hope to make you proud...

Posted by: Skitz at October 15, 2008 5:46 PM

The Eskimos are on top of it Skitz. They have agreed to take the job while they wait for November 4th. The price of their mercenary services is 16.5 kilograms of whale blubber and a linear foot of baleen per commando. For sex toys.

Posted by: Admin11 at October 15, 2008 6:16 PM

f i ever want to commit work-suicide i hope I can go out in a blaze of work email fallout glory.

I can't stop de-lurking...you people intrigue me.

Posted by: VinKong at October 15, 2008 6:26 PM

You have to de-lurk eventually VinKong. If you don't, strange things happen in your pants and you constantly experience a funny tingling sensation in the back of your head.

Which turns out to be Minimus attempting to defile your innocent brain.

Posted by: Admin11 at October 15, 2008 7:10 PM

Skitz: Sammiches and Capri Sun? Bah! I say, Bah! Murdertanking of this scale calls for leftover chinese food and Boxed Wine. Wooo! Slacker food!

admin11: That'll be after. My yellow jump suit just came back from the cleaners, and I just got my Hatori Honzo sword sharpened. I'm about to go on what the critics will call a roaring rampage of revenge.

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at October 15, 2008 7:20 PM

Skitz, if we survive the Farewell to The Hills douchestravaganza, can we have a heartwarming reunion akin to the end of Homeward Bound, where I don't think you've made it, but then you limp over the horizon and the music swells? Slobbering is, as always, optional.

Bring me a couple of limbs for posterity's sake.

Am I a bad person for having a bit of a girl crush on Hayden Panetierre? She's just so cute and munchkinlike and not so vapid.
