This just in from The Post: The Hills might be fake:

Before Lauren Conrad and her Teen Vogue counterpart, Whitney Port, went to Paris to "work" at the Crillon Ball, producers were "frantically calling publicists to see if anyone knew any guys to set the girls up with in Paris. If they had a love affair there, then it would look better," a source said.

Just because it’s not true doesn’t mean it’s not entertaining.

P.S. That source at MTV found a super clever way to promote the 8 additional episodes coming in January. From the looks of the writers strike, fake reality TV is going to be big in 2008.
