1. MTV is catered to people with a serious case of ADD, this is why I have a monster headache this morning.
2. Due to his wooden presenting skillz, I’m thinking Michael Phelps may bomb on SNL.
3. On the contrary, Taylor Swift did a bang-up job reporting from the carpet. Watch your back Vanessa Minnillo.
4. Britney behaved herself, well done.
5. Enough with Lauren Conrad, is she seriously the cornerstone of the network?
6. Christina Aguilera is still exciting to watch and her new, 80s-tinged, Missing Persons-esque single is hot.
7. Paris Hilton’s days as a superstar as numbered and so are LiLo’s—there was almost no cutting to Lohan sitting in her seat throughout the show.
8. I have a guilty pleasure and it is spelled P-A-R-A-M-O-R-E!
9. When presenting, Ashlee and Pete were actually kinda cute.
10. I loved seeing Russell Brand rip on the promise-ring set and consequently, hearing Jordin Sparks get huffy.
Missed the action? Watch a 2-minute video recap below—it’s all in there.

I have a very tough decision to make: watch the premiere of The Hills tonight or watch my regular Monday night vice, Intervention—after last weeks “huffing” episode I am eager to see how they can top the drama. Thankfully DVR will rectify this issue—plus, I am sure that the faux drams on The Hills will be tantamount. Speaking of needing an Intervention, Heidi released her new song, “Overdosin’,” in my opinion, the best of all of her tracks. Heavy on the vocoder and breathy delivery, it’s as good as anything you would hear in say, a shampoo commercial. Lauren Conrad could also use a lesson in (outfit) OD-ing. Recently she has been trotting all over town wearing Sunday’s best on say, a Wednesday. For instance, check out this ensemble. While most people walk their dogs wearing everyday clothes, LC dons a fancy bag, ruffled mini, major pumps, and huge shades. Not the most practical for the dog park, but obviously, paparazzi perfect. We know where her priorities are. Poor dog.

Another Simpson sister is about to walk down the aisle. Singer Ashlee Simpson just announced that her and rocker boyfriend, Pete Wentz are going to make it official. The engagement announcement just hit the wires and everyone’s buzzing about the details of the impending nuptials. Whereas sister Jessica went the traditional route when she married former hubby Nick Lachey, I think that Ashlee may go for an edgier vibe. I suspect lots of black eyeliner (for Pete too!) and outrageous hair extensions. Will this young pair make their MTV debut with Newlyweds part deux? What do you think?

My TV time is limited these days. And while I have been tuning in to “The Real Housewives of New York” and “Top Chef Chicago” (they are amongst my favorites), I cannot tell you how thrilled I am that “The Hills” is back! Even though they have not been far from the public eye, oh how I have missed Lauren and her girl gang of 3.

Here’s what Team Hills has been up to:
L.C. officially launched her fashion line at LA Fashion Week, Audrina has been busy wearing tunics and cropped leather jackets at LA’s hottest clubs, Whitney announced she is getting into the fashion game too, and Heidi, well, she’s been mugging for the paparazzi with her Claymation-created svengali of a boyfriend, Spencer Pratt. These girls get a serious amount of ink and I have all of the back issues of the tabs to prove it.

If you don’t “know” what I am talking about or what the show’s premise is (duh, it’s like, about LA!), read Gawker’s “Non-Watchers Guide to the Hills”. It offers a perfectly concise (and smartly cynical) synopsis of the cult program. Or, you can just get the DVDs and have a Hills marathon…blonde hair and a bad attitude are not required.
