Audrina Patridge: ‘The Hills’ Producers Made Me Fight Kristin
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Reality, MTV, The Hills, Gossip, News,
In a shocker to us all, Audrina Patridge has come out to say that her reality show The Hills was not always real.
"In the beginning, a lot of it was real. As it went on, it was very manipulated and guided and you're kinda put in these scenarios where you would show up and you didn't know what you were in for until you were there, and you wanted to run out but they lock the door on you," Patridge said. She went on to cite a specific example with her small sreen "nemesis" Kristin Cavallari:
"I actually had to leave early for another event, we were there for about three hours and they were like, 'You can't leave until you and Kristin get into a fight.' So I'm like, 'Oh my God, Kristin!' Kristin's like, 'Let's do it.' I'm like, 'OK, c'mon.' It was about Justin [Bobby] and we did it and we got to leave."

Lauren Conrad’s TV ‘Business’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Drama, Reality, MTV, Features,
Lauren Conrad saw her early reality television career as a "business opportunity."
The 26-year-old beauty rose to fame on Laguna Beach before going on to be a fashion designer, and she does not regret living her life in front of the cameras because it allowed her to have a "voice."
"There were definitely great perks. I got to travel a lot and I got to meet great people as well. But for me, the reality TV platform was always a business opportunity. Also, it gave me a voice, and I think it's really nice if you can turn that into something more."
Lauren admits the best thing about her career now is that she can do things she really enjoys, like writing her new book The Fame Game: "I'm really happy. It worked out well for me, because I am able to do the clothing line and write these books, things that I love, without the cameras around."
Is the Industry Getting Sick of The Hills?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Reality, MTV, Editorial,
A recent poll offered up by PopEater poses a very interesting question…and raises a few more. Saying the site has “just about had it” with the “cheesiness” of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, stars of MTV’s The Hills, the site swears to stop covering the pair - if that’s what the public wants.

FOX’s ‘Nashville’ Moved Off Schedule
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX,
Well—we can’t exactly call it a cancellation at this point….so let’s just call it a slow death.
FOX’s new series, Nashville, is temporarily being set aside after just two airings. The reality show (and I use ‘reality’ to describe this show like I would use it to describe Laguna Beach) followed a group of music industry hopefuls trying to make it big in Nashville. Unfortunately, viewers weren’t following them.
Refusing to admit they have the first fall flame-out, the network is simply putting the show on hold until ‘sometime’ in October. Re-runs of K-Ville will temporarily fill its time slot until two-hour episodes of The Next Great American Band take over on October 19th.
Ironically, some critics believe K-Ville may be the first show canceled this year. If that’s the case—what will backup Nashville then?

The O.C. to Take Final Bow
Posted by Wendy Michaels Categories: Prime Time, Cable, FOX, The O.C., Cancellations, Ratings,
There was a lot of speculation about what would become of The O.C. once Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton) was killed off. Looks like the show, which was given an abbreviated order for season four, will be wrapping up in late February. Fox announced Wednesday that The O.C. was canned, and the season finale will be the series finale. The last episode (ever!) of The O.C. will air February 22nd.
O.C. creator and executive producer Josh Schwartz said of the series, “This feels like the best time to bring the show to its close. Thanks to the hard work of our cast, crew and writers, we have enjoyed our best season yet, and what better time to go out than creatively on top.” Since the show’s high ratings in the first season, subsequent seasons have not fared as well. Some speculate that the “real-life O.C.” portrayed on MTV’s Laguna Beach led to the series’ demise. This last season drew much smaller numbers, just 4.1 million, and faced off against heavyweights CSI and Grey’s Anatomy.
