Today marks the first edition of "The Hills: Words Of Wisdom," a new weekly feature in which the bleached blonde cast of "real people" indulges us with life lessons worth learning. On last night's Season Four premiere, the one-hour chickfest was jam-packed with girly fever, tears, ruined dresses, dates with French rockers, and Spencer's Lucy Ball 'do. But the most important thing to take away from all that femitude is the wise words of heroines Lauren Conrad, Whitney Port and former meth addict Stephanie Pratt. This show is more than just quick flashes of fancy parties and shoes, combined with solemn pouts over which guy to tease; The Hills is the modern day version of Emily Post's guide to good etiquette. Thanks to the keen skills of Intrepid Defamer Videographer™ Molly McAleer, now you can learn just what to do when you feel nauseous over the loss of designer shoes ("breathe"), whether or not boys are hotter in LA or Paris ("way hotter in Paris"), and most importantly, how to successfully mount a motorcycle while wearing a dress worth more than your house.

Ummm, this is so awful, but... isn't it the 4th season now?
Yes, I'm going to go kill myself, do not worry.
@SneakingThroughTheAlleyWithLalley: no this is seaond 3, part two. now, i'm going to kill MYself
I shouldn't admit this, but I love this show. Is it the train wreck relationships? The LA shallowness? The unreal douchebag-ness of the men? The sweet, somewhat dim, spoiled girls? Yes, yes, and yes. And now, French Rock Musicians, an oxymoron if there ever was one.
I love this dirty town.
@SneakingThroughTheAlleyWithLalley: According to MTV.com, it's Season Three. But after some further research, you are correct, it's Season Four. Fixed!
I think Mattias is going to turn me. And by that I mean I might start to think that men in skinny jeans are actually appealing. Mmmm, come here little French man...
the day of the locusts is upon us.

@hack-a-rific: Especially if you have a thing for Paul McCartney during the RAM years. I apparently do, as I was curious enough to look them up on the Internets.
Before I kill MYself, I share this with you (the post by the French girl is my favorite: "and all French men don't have so many hairs!")

Wow, I didn't think they would find any words of wisdom, but the Hills is chock full of them!!! OMG.
I love the one where she tells Spencer to do the opposite. Would that make him a ehcuod bag? And ehcoud gab?
@BoHan: Welcome back. I haven't seen you on here in a while; then again, I'm not on here nearly as much lately, either. Is this your blog?
@Tiger_Tanaka: @& hack-a-rific: Agree, agree, agree.
I can't hate this show. I've tried. I even kind of like Lauren, and the others don't bother me nearly as much as they should.
Now, let's ALL go kill ourselves. I prefer death by carbs.
Apparently, Matias is married in real life. I'm beginning to think this show is fake!
@Desk_hack: Not me. B-Side's former TVGasm. I try not to shill myself, although I guess that's inevitable.
Ok I thought what She-Pratt said to her brother was hilarious and truly were words of wisdom. Almost made me hate her a little less. Almost.
@sexydecoy: That might explain why he was okay with not being asked back to Lauren's hotel room after the Vespa ride.
Oh wait, he's French. They all have mistresses, no?
Man, I wish this show could stay in Paris.
@Pomalina: I agree. Parisian douchebags are just so much more...cultured.
"The Hills" is as scripted and phoney as the old quiz show: "Twenty One." Is Dan Enright the producer?
The only realistic thing on this show is how shitty ShePratt's make up is. In real life, I don't have any doubt that she wears orange foundation, and lo and behold! She does it on the show, too. So either something is real, or she just isn't central enough to get to work with the make up lady.
BoHan, thanks for the plug. I was shocked when I saw that I had a random stream of Defamer traffic today. Always a nice surprise. It's good to be recapping again.
As for The Hills, I feel like it's moved into WWE territory. It's pretty obviously staged, but that's part of it's charm. I really should be more embarrassed than I am that I watch it so religiously. It's sad, really.
Stephanie: love that tranny. They should give her her own show. Audrina: where'd that tranny go on this episode? Anyone else disturbed by Heidi's unnaturally puffy lips or Spencer's sheep fuzz face on this episode?
I pray that my child would die of SIDS before having to interact with anyone on this show, and we all know how tragic SIDS is.
@luluferosh: I think the Spencer sister is just an unattractive femme, but you are *totes* on about Adurina, tranny prostitute fo show. Oddly though, most straight men I speak to find her the most attractive, even more than Whitney, who needs to ditch these dummies and snag a ST Johns campaign.
I love how they act like being out of LA for a week (or less than?) will change EVERYTHING. Were they expecting flying cars and meals in pill form upon their return to LA?
I will say that those French rockers made the show a little more tolerable to watch. Tres mignon.
@B-Side: Yeah, the situations have become more and more stagey as MTV has demanded that even more episodes be aired on a weekly basis for longer stretches - LC's life is just way too boring for that. But that's OK, because it's the improvised chatter between the staged events that we live for: "Quesadillas, Por Favor?" Gawd, LB 2 was heaven.
