The Hills Finale Fake Out

LC OUTSOURCED Hills

Last night's "Season Finale" of The Hills was a total non-event. First of all, it wasn't even the end of Season Three. MTV can't simply let its ratings cash cow go off into the season-hiatus sunset—they must keep milking. Lauren "your boyfriend is an asshole" Conrad made the announcement: The Hills will live on with eight bonus episodes to air this spring. Do we care? Sure. Are we shocked? Not in the ever-loving slightest.

We're reserving our predictions on what excitement these episodes might bring, but the preview shows Lauren and far-cuter sidekick Whitney going to Paris to help out at some overblown debutante ball for Teen Vogue. Lauren learns bippy Brody has fallen into the arms of another woman following her departure for the City of Lights. Naturally, she rebounds into the arms of some French dude who smokes cigarettes and rides a motorcycle. It's so ineffably cliché, the preview alone got us tasting of over-sweetened bile. But, of course, we'll still watch and go through with the full vomit.

But wait! There's a whole episode left to review ...
