The Hills Recap: Everybody Hates Spencer Pratt

Spencer Pratt is out of control. We’ve known this for some time at THG, but now it has gotten to the point where even his friends and family see he is losing it. Last night’s episode of The Hills, “This is Goodbye,” focused on Heidi’s husband’s deteriorating mental health, as well as Brody and Kristin’s renewed romance. Here’s The Hollywood Gossip’s official Hills rundown, plus-minus style: Holly and Stephanie lament being the only sane ones left in their families. Never mind that both of them have serious, well-publicized drinking issues. Plus 9 . After Holly rehashes how Spencer called the cops on Heidi’s mom , Steph says Speidi has no friends. Charlie is rolling in his grave as we speak. Minus 4 . Heidi and Kristin are friends? Were they always? Hard to keep track. Plus 3 . Spencer looks like he needs a hug. “Who am I without Spencer?” Heidi ponders. Hmm. Probably a reasonably cute, harmless, not brainwashed chick with friends and real-looking breasts. Minus 37 . Audrina Patridge visits her boyfriend Ryan Cabrera at the studio. He’s apparently still under contract? Minus 2 . But Plus 8 for his decision to skip that night’s drama. Venturing out of his hole for once, Spencer calls Audrina the “lamest girl in the club” which sparks an argument between himself and Brody. Like old times. Plus 5 . Heidi Montag has a threefold excuse for Spencer: 1. He has stuff on his mind ( Minus 3 ). 2. All guys are controlling ( Minus 6 ). 3. She changed herself ( Minus 12 ). Most awkward clubbing moments ever: Heidi Montag shows her crystals collection to Kristin as Spencer says Heidi doesn’t watch TV or use the computer. Plus 20 . OMG, Brody and Kristin are, like, so meant to be … but single! Holly and Stephanie say they are done with Heidi and Spencer, while Kristin Cavallari and Brody Jenner get down on the floor and eventually leave together. Plus 9 . The next day, Kristin says what they have going is good, whatever it is. Brody says he likes being single, and Kristin does too. Holla at friends with benefits! Plus 18 . Obligatory Lo scene! Steph says that she is flipping between being angry and sad over Heidi and Spencer. Blah, blah, blah. Stephanie and Lo are so boring. Minus 7 . The girls all are told by MTV agree to completely cut off Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Pratt. No communication at all. Plus 5 for effort, but we give it about half an episode. TOTAL: +4 . SEASON: +55 . Basically, it was an episode in which everyone agrees Speidi is insane, and Brody macked on Kristin. Boilerplate stuff, but we’ll take it.

Lena Horne Funeral Attended By Family, Famous Friends

Vanessa Williams was among mourners at New York memorial service. By James Montgomery Lena Horne’s funeral program Jazz great Lena Horne, who died Sunday at age 92, was remembered by hundreds of mourners at New York’s St. Ignatius Loyola church on Friday (May 14). At the funeral — attended by Vanessa Williams, former Mayor David Dinkins and actress Jenny Lumet — Horne was remembered by those who knew her as a girl from Brooklyn who became a world-renowned singer and actress and, in the process, lent her voice to those oppressed by decades of racism. But she was also so much more. “[She] was so many ideas existing all at the same time, in the same space, and they were all conflicting, and they were all true,” Lumet said, according to reports . “I’ve tried to sum her up and I can’t. … Summing up really means it’s over, and I think she’s not over and that she’s quite infinite.” Horne’s paternal grandparents were early members of the NAACP civil-rights organization, and in a precursor to her lifelong battle on behalf of equal rights, she was the cover girl for the organization’s monthly bulletin in October 1919, when she was just 2 years old. She would go on to sing at Harlem’s legendary Cotton Club, appear in Broadway productions and star in Hollywood films, though she would often refuse to play roles that portrayed blacks in subservient positions, which limited her appearances. By the 1940s, she was the top-earning black performer in Hollywood, playing lucrative nightclub gigs and gaining popularity among black and white G.I.’s during World War II. Horne’s sultry voice would go on to dazzle fans for decades on hits like “My Blue Heaven” and “Stormy Weather.” Upon learning of her death, a whole new generation of artists — including Alicia Keys, Diddy and Monica — remembered Horne as a pioneer and a prodigious talent, one the world would probably never see the likes of again.

Rihanna and Justin Bieber

It could just be coincidence that both stars have stepped out in near-identical outfits, but we can’t help but wonder if Rihanna is paying homage to her friends or taking a break from setting the trends. Now, the singing sensation appears to be copying pal Justin Bieber’s style swagger. When it comes to fashion, Rihanna is usually more trendsetter than follower, but lately the pop star seems to be taking her fashion cues from her A-list friends. On Monday, she took to the stage at London’s O2

Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz dating

“Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz was never a deal in place for the fourth movie,” the source adds. “They had a three-picture deal which has expired, and it#39;s standard industry practice to renegotiate, and it#39;s standard industry practice to negotiate on the fourth movie.” Will the family that slays together, stay together? The Cullen family could be seeing some new faces in familiar roles unless some of the Twilight actors, notably Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene, are able to successfully ren

‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows’ Dividing Point Isn’t Set

Tom Felton says filmmakers are still undecided where to split the book into to films. By Eric Ditzian Tom Felton Photo: Mike Marsland/ WireImage At some point in the cinematic adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” the filmmakers are going to take an eight-month break: the time between the November 2010 opening of the first part and the July 2011 release of the second. The big question, of course, is where exactly the break will be. Last summer, we got word that part one of “Deathly Hallows” would end directly after Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) are captured by the Snatchers. Part two would then open as Harry, his friends and their captors arrive at Malfoy Manor. But it seems like nothing, at this point, is definite when it comes the much-hyped “Deathly Hallows” split. “The scripts were set for it,” co-star Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) told MTV News. “There was one and two. There had to be a middle point. But they’ve said throughout it could change.” The decision to keep the split point fluid was made both as a practical and creative matter: With the story is shot as one long film, the filmmakers are free to change their minds about where the split makes sense in post-production. “It’s tricky to shoot as two separate films, so we’ve been trying to think of it as one and just shoot as much as possible and once they’ve edited it down, it will feel like there’s a natural cut somewhere in the middle,” Felton explained. Regardless of what might happen in the edit room, was the split, as planned in the scripts, supposed to be Harry and his friends’ kidnapping? “I wouldn’t want to speculate, because I’ll probably get it wrong anyway,” Felton said.

Justin Bieber Dishes On ‘Hanging Out’ With Miley Cyrus

‘If you look on the Internet you’ll see other girls that I hang out with,’ Bieber tells Ellen DeGeneres. By Jocelyn Vena Justin Bieber (file) Photo: Michael Loccisano/ Getty Images Earlier this week, Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber were spotted getting sushi together in Hollywood. The video had many fans wondering if Cyrus, who once claimed Kurt Cobain was more her type than Bieber, and Bieber were the newest item on the Young Hollywood block. So when Bieber stopped by “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” this week to tape an episode airing on Monday, the hot-button discussion was his dinner with Cyrus. The issue was initially brought up when Degeneres asked Bieber if he had a girlfriend. His response? “Not really. Like, I’m dating around, hanging out with girls, but not really dating.” “Like hanging around with Miley Cyrus?” DeGeneres asked. Bieber, however, kept his response general. “Just like hanging around with people … just hanging out. Yeah, and just people …” he said, adding that if fans really do their research they can see he’s been spending his time with lots of girls. “If you look on the Internet you’ll see other girls that I hang out with,” he explained. When the duo wasn’t talking girls, Bieber’s famous hair was also brought up. And the teen star explained that his coif is actually quite easy to maintain. “It all comes together. Like 5 minutes. Like, seriously,” he said. “People are always like, ‘Yeah, right.’ I get out of the shower, I blow-dry it and then it’s done in like five minutes.” So where does Bieber draw the line when it comes to his hair? Well, when DeGeneres tried to cut his hair, Bieber quickly moved away, saying, “Hey! Hey!” Do you think Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus would make a good couple? Let us know in the comments below!

Katy Perry’s ‘California Gurls’ Is A Nod To … Big Star?

Her manager suggested the spelling variation as a reference to Big Star’s ‘September Gurls.’ By James Montgomery Katy Perry?s “California Gurls” Photo: Chelsea Lauren/ FilmMagic You might not realize it, what with the redonkulously catchy chorus, the Snoop cameo or the lyrical mentions of Daisy Dukes-wearing beach babes who will melt your popsicle, but Katy Perry’s brand-new “California Gurls,” the summer-ready first single from her upcoming Teenage Dream album , is actually a tribute to power-pop pioneers Big Star. Well, sort of. See, as Perry recently told Entertainment Weekly, she named the tune after Big Star’s 1974 song “September Gurls,” from their seminal Radio City album. And she did so — well, because her manager is a longtime Star fanatic. “My manager, Bradford, he’s from Mississippi, and he’s a huge Big Star fan,” Perry told EW. “And with the death of one of their members, I had just written that song, and he’s like, ‘Katy, just for me, will you please title it ‘California Gurls,’ with a ‘u’? People won’t even know!’ I don’t know the whole catalog of Big Star, but I did it because Bradford is one of my best friends, and I thought it was cool, and you know, the kids like those variations.” In March, Big Star frontman Alex Chilton died of a heart attack and was remembered days later by his friends, contemporaries and surviving band members at a South by Southwest tribute concert in Austin, Texas. A spokesperson for Perry’s label, Capitol, confirmed the Big Star story to MTV News. Her Teenage Dream album hits stores August 24. No word if it will include a song named after “The Ballad of El Goodo.” What do you think of Katy’s new single? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Katy Perry

How Much More Money Can NBC Make Off of Betty White?

This morning, NBC announced that it plans on taking advantage of the same social networking tool that swept Betty White into Studio 8H and helped rally over 12 million people into actually watching Saturday Night Live this weekend. The network’s Facebook-compatible program, Fan It, will reward NBC viewers for talking online to their friends about NBC shows with NBC merchandise. Interested, I clicked over to NBC’ s web store just to see if there was any swag that could possibly sway me into enlisting in NBC’ s incestuous PR machine. And there it was, right next to the Biggest Loser Bath Scale ($40) and the Heroes Helix Symbol Pendant Necklace ($15): proof that NBC is still exploiting Betty White.
