...And The Reviews Are In!
First, this one from the New York Post:
MTV COLLEGE DAZE
By LINDA STASI
May 30, 2006 -- AS a grown-up, I'd like to put myself in the shoes of the insanely spoiled girls who are featured on MTV's newest reality show, "The Hills."
But frankly, I can't afford it. The shoes, I mean.
In what has become surreally unreal, what we've got here is a spin-off of another "reality" show which is a takeoff of a drama. It used to be that life imitated art, now life (or whatever the heck you call this) is imitating itself after it has imitated art. Get it? Got it? Good - because I certainly don't.
At any rate, "The Hills" is a spinoff of MTV's immensely popular "Laguna Beach," a "reality" show from which Lauren Conrad, a then-high schooler (who looks 30), emerged as the star.
Now Lauren gets to star in her own life, beginning with her arrival in Lost Angeles (not a typo) to attend fashion school. Omigod!
Right off, she and her new roommate - another big looker in a bikini - survey their new apartment. No dorms for these babes. Just because they're freshmen doesn't mean they have to live like it!
Before Lauren even goes to her first day of class, she gets an interview to be an intern at Teen Vogue. Right. This is about as real as Faye Dunaway's latest face.
She meets with the West Coast editor, Lisa Love (I swear!), who says, in all seriousness, "Why Teen Vogue?" Omigod! Why naut? It's, like, so cool!
Within what seems like minutes after the interview, Lisa Love's assistant calls back to say that to work at Teen Vogue as an intern, "You need a lot of experience writing [Lauren doesn't have it], and in fashion [well, she shops a lot] . . . but Lisa really liked you and wants to offer you an internship!" Omigod!
Lauren's first task is to work a huge party and guard the V.I.P. section. Instead she let's her spoiled, shallow rich friends into the party and they sit all over the V.I.P. seats. Lisa Love isn't happy. But instead of firing her butt on the spot, she says somewhat menacingly, "I'll see you on Monday!"
If it were real life instead of reality TV, a large man with a wire in his ear would have helped them all find the door.
It's a good thing reality TV has nothing to do with real life.
