By now you've all seen the pictures, but here are some little blurbs to convince you to GO GET THIS ISSUE:
Pete on how he developed dependency/attachment issues: "When I was 14, I got sent to bootcamp," he says, gazing at the ceiling. He had been skipping school regularly in his freshman year, and a guidance counsler persuaded his parents to send him to a tough-love, scared-straight sleep-away program. "It was terrible. Every kid there was so much more f*cked up than me-- demented, satanic kids. I got beat up a couple of times. I felt isolated."
Andy on the collapse of civilization: "I think it needs to happen, but no one, not even me, really wants it to happen. Music would probably go. A lot of art would. I'm really into comics and movies and video games and I don't want to give that stuff up. At the same time I think it's filling the void for stuff that we're missing."
Joe on his fan base: "Middle aged women love me-- they say I look like Dr. McSexy or whatever his name is."
Patrick on ridic accusations: Stump is self-depricating to the point where you find yourself reassuring him of his charm. "I hear all sorts of things slung at us", he says, "one of my favorites being the boy-band accusation. I'm like 'boy-band? I'm fat! If I werea boy band, I'd look good, I'd dance and I'd be charming-- so what the f*ck are you talking about?' I write songs. Thats all I do."
The March 8 issue of RS is on newstands riiiiight now.
The newest issue of Q Magazine has a list of 100 Places to Get Music Online, and Largeheartedboy was kind enough to post it online. Below are a few categories of interest.
Let's skip the fluff and get to the dirt: Heidi & Jen are on a chummy shopping mish when Jen says she wants to go on a double date with Heidi and Spencer. And she wants Brody to be HER date! What a lecherous wench! I knew Jen was trouble. Whats worse is Heidi says "she shouldnt live in fear" of what Lauren will think. Which makes Heidi a two-faced wench! (Sorry, I get so emotional...)
Oblivious, Whitney & Lauren talk about Jen's 21st bday. If they knew, they'd probably be saying "Let's get the b*tch drunk and leave her on Santa Monica Blvd!" Well, not really. They're too passive aggressive and nice. Lauren says how Jen's been a "really good friend" since 3rd grade, and has practically been living with her since Heidi was indoctrinated into the cult of Spencer Pratt.
Cut to Brody & Spencer cruising. Or something. Spencer wails about his biological impulse to hit on girls when he hears them laugh, and how he has to remind himself "girlfriend! girlfriend!" (Really? I mean, should it BE that HARD?) Anyway, then they start referring Jen as "Jen Bunny" or just plain "Bunny" and says she's a "Cutie Pie"... what is this, Kindergarten?! THEN Spencer says "I think you should mack Jen" reintroducing a word no one has used since 1991. Did that come before or after scam? Anyway. Then Spencer says something about "Getting in the back door." Uh... ew?
Jen's Bday dinner takes place at The Geisha House, and once Heidi get there Lauren makes a heartfelt toast to the girl "whos always been there for me no matter what! Here's to a decade of friendship!" Jen then emphasizes the difference between friends and best friends, and I'm totally shooting her dirty looks. They gift her with a REAL diamond martini necklace. I hope Lauren uses it to choke her later.
Quote of the Episode: "Look, I love you so much I'm eating carbs on your birthday."
Readers, take note-- diamonds and carbs are the true measures of love in The Hills.
Jen acts all "Oh sh*t!" when Heidi tells her that Brody is coming, but the b*tch is smiling. Heidi and her take a bathroom gossip break where Heidi makes it apparent that part of the induction into the Spencer Pratt cult means adopting his cringe-worthy vocab-- "He would mack you ASAP" They're obvi planning to emotionally torture Lauren, and that makes me sad :(
In the club: Why do they all have to yell so much? As if the cameras don't attract enough attention? Or is that Hills-speak for OMGZZZ I HAVE SUCH A FUN LIFE AND YOU DONT? Anyway, at this point I am suspicious of how all this is being edited, because Brody says "Heidi, find me a girl."
Oh, and apparently it's "Bunney" not "Bunny." Jen is freaking out thinking Lauren is mad at her, while Heidi and Brody reassure her that because it's her Bday, no one can get mad at her. Riiiiight. Jen says maybe he should get up and walk away. So he does. One team point for Jen, which I will rip back later. The Brody Jenner Endorsement Camp is bummed.
They speak in "likes" and looks and to be honest, I'm not sure what's going on. Then the Brody Jenner Endorsement Camp/Cult of Spencer Pratt take Jen and leave. Without telling the rest of their crew.
The next morning Lauren is hoarse-voiced and down because "Bunney" had the nerve to call her and ask if it was okay to hook up with Brody. Whitney says people need to get their priorities straight. Amen to that.
Audrina gossips to another intern at Epic about Jen & Heidi's b*chy tactics. She says she thinks that Spencer is brainwashing her-- and I totally agree. Cut back to Lauren, and Jen rings her up with a barrage of excuses. Lauren tells her she doesn't want excuses, she wants her to admit she did something bad, and say she's sorry. And that b*tch goes "Okayyyyy then, I'm sorry I called." Lauren hangs up and throws her phone on the floor.
Later that night Heidi goes to Lauren and says she had nothing to do with it. Hello, this is all being taped, remember Heidi? Lauren calls out Heidi for being Spencer-washed. Heidi says she needs reminding, and Lauren is disgusted-- "I have to REMIND YOU to be MY BEST FRIEND?!" Then she gets really riled up and yells "Spencer is a SUCKY PERSON. He is a SUCKY PERSON! I hate Spencer, I am NEVER gonna like Spencer. It's not gonna be fine until you and Spencer are BROKEN UP."
Sighhhh. That episode really took a lot out of me.
Shiloh and Zahara are soooo cute. I think Angelina is plotting to take over the world. And she is trying to divert our attention with her children. (Evil Beet)
We open with a Lauren/Heidi heart to heart, in which Heidi confesses she's giving Spencer another chance. Lauren is NOT pleased, and tells her she sees so many "Jason" qualities in Spencer, that he also plays "Mind tricks." It would've been funny if she said "Jedi mind tricks" but we all know none of The Hills boyzzz are that cool. And please, Spencer Pratt makes Jason Whaler seem like an angel-- he was dumb, but not conniving. Or am I remembering him wrong? Secondly, girls, please note that whispering cliche sweet nothings and buying flowers don't qualify as "mind tricks."
Heidi is all "It's DIFFERENT" but Lauren doesn't give her any leeway. I almost give her a "you go girl" cheer, but then I remember she's dating Brody Jenner. Heidi defeatedly says "Whos to say he can't change?" while Lauren envisions beating him over his gelled head with a stick until all his prick-qualities go away. Alright, I'm gonna go ahead and give Lauren props-- for breaking the blindly supportive habit and being a real, honest friend. Sometimes people on reality TV don't come across as real, as people you'd want to be friends with, and for once, Lauren really does. She tells Heidi she'll be there for her when he screws her over, because, she says definitively, he will. Heidi is pissed.
Heidi meets Spencer at Bread Bar where he hands her a bouquet of red roses, which he says he broke the piggy bank for. Heidi tells him her issues with Lauren are stressing him out, and he says "Gawwwwd I wish I hadn't been such a jerk to begin with, it would've made your life easier" blah blah blah "Does she know how much I love you?" At which point I throw up in my mouth a little. Then, absent any actual expression or vocal emphasis, he goes "I don't think people get it, Heidi is my number one." Heidi says "You have to prove yourself to everybody." Spencer says "Yeah... good luck" which I guess means he was talking to himself? Then he says something about a slumber party and I feel ill, because I don't want to picture those two mating.
Heidi takes the flowers home and tells Lauren that Spencer got them for HER (what a lying hobag!) and Lauren delivers a zinger: "Is he gonna give them to Audrina tomorrow?" Heidi coos, in all seriousness, that they're just for her. After some comment about turkey and some cat-petting, awkwardness abounds. Heidi packs and leaves her her "slumber party." Ew.
Lauren goes to Audrina's where after Lauren discovers they're "eating at the table" says "Look at us adults!" Wtf? How is eating at a table indicative of maturity? Do you eat standing up until you're 18? Or perhaps she was referring to the reheating of the lasagna-- microwave usage= totally grown up. They play with their hair incessantly and talk about how Heidi is doomed.
Lauren goes to Teen Vogue, where more hair-playing takes place (really, it's starting to look a little OCD at this point) and more Heidi-talk ensues. Cut to Spencer and Heidi strolling down the street, Heidi trying to coerce him to go to the club with Lauren & her, but he goes "Ehhh, I really don't like the girl." Heidi pleas that she needs more girl time and that she doesn't want to cut her friends out of her life-- which is, of course, exactly what Spencer wants.
The Club scene: Heidi says "Let's grow up. There was a lot of miscommunication. I'm sick of fighting. Let's have some fun!" and there's a perfect shot of her fake smile, and then a microexpression of her looking defeated and desperate. Brody is rockin' the neck bling again-- I think I'd kind of miss if we went a whole episode without the neck bling. Lauren&Heidi are having "girl time" while Spencer is all up on another girl. But the worst is this:
Oh no he di-int. Lauren tries to drag Heidi out but Spencer grabs her and says "We're so making peace." Lauren says she's not gonna watch Heidi get used, not gonna watch him hit on other girls every night. To which Spencer replies "Heidi knows everything. Heidi gets who I am. We understand eachother." O RLY? Heidi would be ok with watching another girl licking your neck and you... uh, doing whatever those ****'s were covering up?
Ooooh, five feet. Way to keep your distance, bro.
Lauren goes to Brody's condo and b*tches him out for having a sh*tty best friend. Then Spencer & Brody pow-wow and make you hate the male population just a little more. Then Spencer gossips to Heidi, blah blah. Lauren can't think. Lauren is pained. Even though a dude from Project Runway is her teacher.
Heidi and Lauren have the "You Have Chosen" conversation. BTW, their apartment is messy is all hell. Heidi is such a wench. She totally puts Spencer over Lauren. Lauren looks like she's gonna cry, and then Heidi reveals that the flowers were a joke, which is like a suckerpunch finale to that conversation. Heidi packs her suitcase and flees.
It talks about how "Cupid's Chokehold" hit no. 7 on Billboard's "Hot 100" chart last week, and secured the no. 8 spot this week: By that measure, it remains America’s second-favorite rap track, behind the latest from Ludacris. Hip-hop radio stations won’t go near it, but no matter: Gym Class Heroes are suddenly huge.
And shows some Travie-love: Mr. McCoy has shrewdly identified something that mainstream emo has in common with alternative hip-hop: wordy, self-conscious lyrics.
As a rapper, and as a bandleader, Mr. McCoy’s greatest asset is his decency. Instead of trying to prove that he’s tough enough to hang with rappers, he’s happy to play the role of the nice boy, not least because he knows so many of his fans are girls. His idea of a lewd question is, “How many of you guys like to make out?” And at one point, he apologized to female fans for his obsession with relationships gone bad. “I’ve written my share of broken-hearted songs,” he said, “but you guys are kinda cool.”
One of my favorite bloggers scored an interview with MTV "Juvie" Sierra.
IBBB: Sierra, you appeared on an episode of MTV's Juvies because you knocked over a 7-11? No really, how did you end up on the show?
Sierra: I was in there because I supposedly ran way, which NEVER happened.
The attendance office looked at the wrong name and the officer never
went back to look at my records like he was supposed to. He probably
went to Dunkin Donuts instead...lol! But my parents didn't like my
boyfriend at the time and thought I would run away with him.. So, when
I was walking home from school, I got arrested. When I arrived at
L.C.J.C., the MTV lady asked me if I would be on the show, so I said
sure. It made my stay a bit easier though, like I was allowed to leave
my room more for interviews.
Get to Imbringingbloggingback to find out what MTV told her not to say, her words of wisdom for Britney and why she doesn't think her parents made the right decision.
Great story by Trevor Kelley in the April 2007 issue. In it, Shaant talks about how sensitive he is to negative comments on the internet: "You know what sucks? he asks "You'll have a good post, then one negative remark, and I'll shut off my computer for three days and analyze every last bit."
And one rotten teacher that I hope he is I told you so-ing right now: "While attending Williamsville, Hacikyan often told his classmates about his musical aspirations; he even told one of his teachers. Then one day, said teacher came to class and gave Hacikyan a folded up picture of a once-popular star who is now positively tawdry. As he stared at the shot of this douche bag with his frosted tips and bleached smile, Hackiyan asked his insructor why she would ever think to give him such a thing.
Her response: "Because that's as close as you'll ever get."
That is SO rude. Anyway, you should def. check out the rest once you get your hands on this issue.
Oh dang! Half of you, I'm sure, have already listened to this 86 times by now, but just in case-- Friendsorenemies has the coolest Arms Race Remix, done by Kanye West! Not only does it takes a catchy song and somehow, make it a totally different listening experience... it also made me LOL.
"Now I don't what the hell this song is talkin' bout-- do you? She said Yeah, I been spendin' all day trying to figure that out-- you too?"
I got the tipoff from Stereogum that team9 has graced the world with another amaaaaazing mashup. This one is The Killers "When You Were Young" + Muse's "Starlight"
When You Were A Starlight
Do you love it? Hate it? Couldn't care less? Anyway, if you like, hop on over to Team9's site to download it and some of their other rad mashups.
Tonight is series finale of The O.C. and even though it's definitely gone downhill, I'm still kind of... sad. The O.C. had some great musical moments in its time. It's how I discovered Imogen Heap-- because of the "Hide and Seek" funeral scene. And whos heartstrings weren't tugged at during the "Fix You" Kiersten breakdown scene! How 'bout the 564 Death Cab references? Or the part where Ryan turns on Journey then Seth says something sassy and Ryan says "What? You don't like Journey?" Remember when Rooney was on the show? Or The Killers? Or Modest Mouse? Man, I am going to miss the Bait Shop. Anyway, just wanted to share this video about Music from The OC.
Zeon Music Blog also has a Farewell Mix made up for those of you who'd like to take a little piece of The O.C. with you, as you move on. I can't wait to hear tonight's final songs... sigh. I leave you with this:
Bright Eyes' newest track is full of references that fly over my head, but I'm still gonna let you listen.
Four Winds
All y'all who call yourself emo better recognize. And if you think Conor Oberst is just another self-absorbed melodramatic crooner, it would do you good to read Sarah Feldman defending his precious teary quaver. Bonus song! Bright Eyes - Lover I Don't Have To Love
Today's celebrity baby mystery is the strange case of Christina Aguilera. An employee of Beverly Hills kids' boutique Bellini tells us the singer was twittering about a new pregnancy when she stopped in for a $3,000 shopping spree Saturday.
"She came in with her husband [Jordan Bratman], and he sat in one of the big chairs and let her do her shopping," a clerk told us yesterday. "They said they don't know what they're having."
But Aguilera says this is news to her. "She said it is not true and she wasn't in Bellini," her spokeswoman says.
The store employee, who says the Aguilera-like paid for her purchases in cash, insists she spoke to her about it personally.
"They seemed really excited. She was talking to [another customer] and she said she took a home pregnancy test and that it was positive. She kept saying they'd have to come back when they knew the sex of the baby," the worker told us.
In Touch magazine first got news of the apparent visit to Bellini. They report her $3,000 shopping spree included "a dozen Petit Bateau onesies at $20 each, several $90 little Giraffe blankets, a $350 Mia Bossi polkadot diaper bag and a Peg Perego stroller."
Cute. I think Christina would make a good mom. Maybe she should just adopt Britney's poor kids. WAIT. ANGELINA should adopt Britney's kids! I am full of excellent solutions. Source: POTP
If Kurt Cobain was still alive today, he'd be 40. So I want to ask you this-- what do you think he'd be doing? Would he be playing the same kind of music? Still married to Courtney?
Or was he too much of a tortured soul to keep kicking? I'll be honest and say that I didn't love Nirvana. I was what, 13? And while all my friends were identifying with the grunge gods, I was like damn, I'm 13, life ain't that bad yet.
But I do have respect for a such a tragic idol with such intense staying power. Happy Birthday, Kurt, hope you're doin' alright in Rock n' Roll heaven.
I think I've finally gotten to the point where I can turn on the radio and not hear the insanely popular 2006 Gnarls hit "Crazy"... but you know, I kind of miss it.
If you are straddling the line between crazy-craving and thinking you might cut off your right ear if you do hear it again, My Old Kentucky Blog has collected some covers of the song, sung by Nelly Furtado, Of Montreal and The Raconteurs, to name a few.
Spin says it's time for some ch-ch-changes! Writer David Browne suggests making CD's cheaper, no double (or, God forbid, triple or quadruple *coughearlynovemberandthricecough*) discs, making concerts cheaper, not releasing crap albums or signing sh*tty artists (wait, that one is mine), and fully embracing the web.
The 6th Annual Sasquatch! Music Festival will be taking place in the oh so picturesque Gorge Amphitheatre over Memorial Day Weekend. Some of the artists that will be performing are: The Arcade Fire, Bjork, M.I.A., Beastie Boys, Interpol, The Hold Steady and The Blow.
Brooklyn Vegan has the rest of the line up, and more acts will be annouced.
The only person I like less than Brody Jenner is Spencer Pratt. Oh and this guy I dated who had a black&white headshot of himself doing "puppy eyes" in a Goonies shirt, but thats beside the point.
In a dialogue exchange that is part of a profile of Jenner in the March
issue of Details, Spencer Pratt, described as Jenner's "manager- slash-
publicist-slash- agent-slash-stylist" says to Jenner, "Here's what
you're gonna do. You're gonna start dating Nicole Richie. And you're
gonna get that skinny bitch to eat, all right? You are about to become
The Guy Who Got Nicole Richie to Eat. Process that shit, bro. You'll
be, like, a fucking hero to America."
The plan, which was devised last August (just when Jenner and
Richie did begin dating), was actually part of Jenner's scheme to ride
Richie's coattails and become a more familiar name himself – which, as
Details points out, proved successful, because here it is interviewing
him.
A week after Jenner and Richie split in October, Jenner forged a
relationship with The Hills costar Lauren Conrad. (That ended quickly,
too.)
"Basically," says Jenner, 23, "I made it, like, my mission to try to go on a date with every girl on The Hills."
What winners. Seriously. Publicizing your insincerity and complete lack of respect for other human beings. I kind of wish he was on the 134 freeway when Nicole Richie was driving the wrong way.
We are still working on our next album. During the Christmas break we wrote some new tunes and got ideas for a bunch more. We are working on those and giving them the chance to develop. We are still very excited about what we have competed thus far and we hope to wrap it up as soon as possible. But this is the way rock is. Sorry. Shit takes forever.
We don't consider ourselves on island time by any stretch. We want to make sure every song feels like it is as complete as it needs to be. To put songs out there and call it an album is an important thing for us. We have yet to compromise a recording session for the sake of a final product. We aren't about to start 12 years into the band. Thank you for your patience and we hope to get more up, more often.
Do you like it when bands spend their sweet time making an album? (A-hem, Brand New) Or would you accept lesser quality just to have it sooner? Personally, I am a huge Jimmy Eat World fan (I still listen to Futures all the time) and I like that they're taking their time... it makes me even more excited for new songs.
Lily on Women in the Media: I think that as long as women are parading around on television, taking their clothes off to sell records, then guys will be able to take the piss out of us. That's what it comes down to. I have a little brother, Alfie, and he has a very poor view of women, and I think the only explanation… He's got three incredibly strong women surrounding him in his home life, yet he's so affected by the stuff he sees in the media and the way women are portrayed
On the Internet: I have my camera and I have my computer, and if I have some spare time, rather than watching some mindless bullshit pop-idol program on TV, why not show people my pictures and try and discuss things that I feel are important?
On talking trash: When I've slagged people off, it's been in answer to a question. It's not like I walk into interviews and go "I hate Madonna!" {Laughs.] They'll say something about her, and I'll react to it. I'm not media-trained, so I'm not good at keeping my mouth shut in those situations
On school: I think that people have gotten a little bit too comfortable. I think the world has changed so much, and the education system hasn't in a long time. I think it's kind of a little bit of an old-school way of teaching. Yet the world doesn't work in the same way that it did, you know?
Be sure to read the rest of the interview to find out why she was kicked out of 13 schools, her pre-music jobs, and her writing process.
Christina Aguilera performed at the NBA All-Star Game this weekend. The girl never ceases to amaze me.
She could shave her head, become a scientologist, pop 5 kids out and start a cult-- as long as she still has that incredible voice, I will be a fan. Sure, being a tiny blonde person helps her image, but remember when she dyed her hair black and was all "Dirrty"? Yeah, I even liked her music then.
I think someone is pulling my chain, but if Britney Spears really did shave her head, you heard it here first.
2 AM UPDATE: Initially, I thought this was kind of a stretch-- but apparently, homegirl was drunk and just took it all off. Which is totally believable, given her superfast fling with rehab.
Apparently, someone even offered $50,000 for it already. Ew? What do you think? Did she do it?
9 A.M. Update: She sure as hell did it. Thanks for pointing me to the pictures.
Rocklouder is reporting that Panic! At The Disco's next single will be "Build God, Then We'll Talk" and is set for release on March 26th.
When purchased, fans will be given access to a special online area with up to date Panic! info, photos, life footage and downloads from other Fueled By Ramen acts.
I don't about all y'all but I would prefer a new album to a new single. And will you buy the single to get the extras, even if you already have the album?
This is Ok Go's second version (the "wallpaper version") of "Do What You Want." I like it, but nothing beats backyard dancing or treadmills! Plus, I wanna see their pretty faces. Haha.
Like it? Love it? Hate it? Gonna have nightmares about wallpapered people now?
There was a huuuuge earthquake on The O.C. last week, which really had me on the edge of my cheap IKEA futon. This week we see who suffers in the aftermath. I hope Kiersten didn't lose the baby :( Is anyone else becoming really attached now that we know the whole freakin' series is ending?
It's part 2 of 3 in the Grey's Anatomy off-site disaster drama, and last week Meredith got booted into the water. Would they dare kill of the character after whom the show is named? I don't think so, but some people disagree...
On Juvies, "otherwise good kids have a brush with the law," MTV documents:
Ugly Betty is on at 8pm, and Lucy Liu guest stars.
"Yeah, that's right. Anyone who buys anything from our merch store between now and February 22nd will get their name in a song. We are going to write a record an acoustic song using everyone's names. It will be fun. If you wanna get in on the fun, check out the store. I bet you'll find something you like :)"
Us Online is allowing you the chance to Win a Date with Brody Jenner. The contest doesn't begin until March 2, but I wanted to give you time to brush up on your acting skillz, cause you have to send in a "video dating resume."
Those of you who read my blog regularly know what I think of this "Prince of Malibu" but here is the 411 for you out-of-the-loop few:
-23 years old, metro, likes neck bling and surfing. -Is the Scope Mouthwash spokesperson (so hey, at least you'll have a halitosis-free date!) -Has dated Nicole Richie, Kristin Cavalleri and Lauren Conrad (from Laguna Beach/The Hills) -Is not very witty or original, but he has prettier eyelashes than you.
I would advise you to watch The Hills before embracing this challenge. And bookmark Us Online, because every few days Brody will reveal valuable information like his favorite female body part, his turn ons, his ideal woman, his perfect date night and more.
I think I want to win just so I could be like "Where's that rat of a best friend of yours? I have a drink that wants to meet his face."

Jossip is reporting that MTV's TRL is over with. There have been rumors floating around for awhile, and MTV did lay off 250 employees...
So what music shows does MTV have left? Do you even watch MTV for music anymore, or is Fuse a better channel? Have any of you ever been to TRL? Tell tell.
Cute video of a "Teddybear" looking for someone to be his Valentine. Watch it AT LEAST til 1:14, it will make you feel all warm and fuzzy. Set to their song (yes, they're a band) "Yours To Keep." Play this song for your Valentine for some indie cred.

This week on The Hills... Audrina finally echoes my sentiments and when the girls have their little opening scene pow-wow, she calls Spencer a dirtbag. When Heidi finds out Dirtbag brought Audrina roses @ Pinkberry the same day they hooked up, she busts a gasket and gets him on speakerphone. I couldn't hear anything he was saying, so oh well.
The NY Super intern (Emily) arrives. Lauren looks completely bored while dicussion the "Young Designer Dinner" plans. She gets the tough task of mapquesting because Lisa Love hates her handwriting and prefers it never to be seen.
Spencer calls Heidi while she's at work and is annoying as usual. She is speaking quietly because hello, she's at work. He's all WHAT WHAT I CANT HEAR YOU SPEAK UP. To which she replies, "I am at work, you're interrupting." And like the 'special' guy he is, he goes "Ohhhh OHHHHH IM INTERRUPTING HUH?!" in a tone that would lead you to believe he just said something incredibly clever and insulting, but no, he's just being obnoxious as usual. And then Heidi retorts with the quote of the episode: "Yes. You are just one big interruption in my life."
She says she needs to clear her head, and he goes "What's in your head?" *rolls eyes*
She says he needs to take time to figure out what he wants, if he wants a girlfriend (cause hey, showing up to Heidi's work with two playboy playmates kinda screams "single and ready to get down"). Then dirtbag gets all tantrum-ish: "I KNOW WHAT I WANT. I WANT HEIDI. Fine! You take a week and see if I'm here to call!" Nyah. What a little b*tch.
The super intern and Lauren head to the florist. We discover that super intern is taking 18 credits at NYU, interns two days at Teen Vogue and works one day at Chanel. And she knows her flowers. The different between peonies and tea roses and dahlias. She impresses the florist while Lauren shoots her srslywtf? looks. She even says she has some sort of flower "at home" right now, which is when Lauren shoots her the look of all looks. I shot her some looks for Lauren, too. Whitney had her wisdom teeth pulled out and had some complications, so Lauren had to endure super intern on her own.
Heidi has a forced convo with co-worker Elodie, and Elodie is trying to get Heidi's head straight. But no, Heidi says "You don't choose who you love!" with is girl code for "I am aware that he's a dirty cheater but I'm going to hang on to him until the next best thing comes along, because otherwise what will I have to talk about?" My life will lose all dramatic elements." Or maybe thats just what it meant when I said it, who knows. She was wearing the cutest outfit:
Whitney is back in action when its time to set up for the dinner, but although she and Lauren are dressed and ready, only super intern gets to stay. Burn burn burnnnnnn. If I was Lisa Love, I would've probably done the same thing, but super intern really doesn't need a bigger ego than she already has, I gather.
The final dissapointing scene is Heidi getting into dirtbag's car. Ugh.
Oh. And since Petey Wentz was guest Music Supervisor, I caught a prominently placed Panic! song along with some Cobra Starship and Cartel.
