Kristin Cavallari, Lo Bosworth Call ‘The Hills’ Ending ‘Spectacular’

‘To see it come to and end is always bittersweet,’ original star Lauren Conrad tells MTV News. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Tim Kash Kristin Cavallari Photo: John Shearer/WireImage “The Hills” ended Tuesday night with a wink from the show’s producers, and while it might have been a surreal way to end a show that was grounded in reality for six seasons, the stars of the show enjoyed the mysterious scene final scene . Lo Bosworth, who has said that seeing the show again is like watching “home movies,” had only one way to describe the finale. “The ending, I felt, was spectacular,” she told MTV News. “I think the fans will forever question: Was it fake or was it real? And I don’t think I will be answering that question.” “That day of filming, it was surreal to me, because they wouldn’t tell me what we were filming,” said Brody Jenner, who shared that an ending with Lauren Conrad had been shot as well. “I think the show has always battled with what’s real and what’s fake, and this ending was perfect, because you still don’t know what was real, what was fake, and it’s kind of like L.A., in a sense. I thought it was very clever, and I was happy with it. I was stoked they were ending it with me. I was flattered.” “I mean, I think we both couldn’t have been happier with the ending. We were speechless,” Kristin Cavallari said about the final scene, which saw her get into a waiting car destined for the airport and a plane to Europe — or so we thought. Instead of pulling away, the camera pans out to show the entire production, including crew members and cameramen. With the “fourth wall” dropped in the final moments, what does the show’s original star, Lauren Conrad, think about the show ending after all these years? “I think it’s sad to see something that was so great, to see it come to and end is always bittersweet,” she said. “But I think they had a great run. They went on for so long, and I think it’s nice they wrapped up everybody’s story and it’s a happy ending.” Were you surprised by the way “The Hills” ended? Tell us in the comments!

‘The Hills’ Fans React To Series Finale

‘It was creative,’ says one fan of twist in show’s final scene. ‘I think it kept people talking.’ By Mawuse Ziegbe Audrina Patridge on the final episode of “The Hills” Photo: MTV The final half-hour of “The Hills” saga wasn’t brimming with the over-the-top drama fans had come to expect from the series. But a shocking twist at the end of the finale left many viewers with lingering questions. After the final pained goodbye between Brody and Kristin, the “Hills” diva didn’t ride off into the sunset as expected. Instead, a fake backdrop emblazoned with the “Hollywood” sign was rolled away and cameras pulled back to reveal a movie lot, as Kristin hopped out of the car — that should have taken her to the airport — and embraced Brody in a bear hug. The ending left fans wondering just how much of the reality show, which had captivated millions of viewers for years, was real. While some “Hills” followers liked the twist, others weren’t so impressed. “It was creative,” Reyna commented on MTVNews.com. “I think it kept people talking.” LawGirl83 agreed, writing, “I knew it! That final [scene] was spectacular.” “I love the hills alot! The ending was great but goodbyes are always sad!” Kristina Bergmann wrote on the “The Hills” Facebook page . “Kristin almost made me cry when she was with Brody saying good bye!” “FREAKIN LOVED THE ENDING!!!!!!” Lauren Windey wrote. However, many fans were simply puzzled. Noelle Ciemny wrote on Facebook, “I was so confused,” adding, “I wish brody and kristen would be together theyre [adorable] together.” Kianna Green wondered, “Was it all fake?” while Joey Jakira Blum wrote, “I just dont understand why or what the point of the ending was.” Others, like Maya Willis, were conflicted about the show’s final moments. “I was taken aback by the end scene, but honestly, how could you not know the show had its scripted and staged moments?” she wrote on Facebook, adding, “I do believe that there were some real emotions shown throughout the show and real arguments.” Some strongly criticized the ambiguity of the ending. “[I] thought they should have answered the question straight up. The fans deserve to know!!” Nikah2o posted on our website. Still, for many fans, the way the show wrapped up wasn’t as important as the fact that “The Hills” is gone for good. An anonymous poster on The Hills Gossip Online blog wrote, “I’m going to miss the hills!” “I [choked] up a little,” Suraya wrote on MTVNews.com. “It really ended,” she added, tagging a sad-face emoticon onto her post. Will you miss “The Hills”? Were you upset by the ending? Let us know in the comments!

Lauren Conrad’s Love Triangle, Lady Gaga’s ‘Hills’ Past And More On ‘The Hills: Revealed’

‘The Hills: Revealed’ takes a look at some of the biggest moments in the show’s history. By Jocelyn Vena Lauren Conrad on “The Hills” Photo: MTV Do you think you know everything about “The Hills” ? Have you been following the lives of Lauren Conrad and her gang since her days on “Laguna Beach?” Well, on MTV’s “The Hills: Revealed,” fans get the behind-the-scenes stories behind some of the show’s greatest moments. And, if you think you know, the show proved that you really have no idea. Long before Lauren Conrad lived in “The Hills,” she was high school girl caught up in a love triangle with Laguna Beach High’s Stephen Colletti and future “Hills” star Kristin Cavallari. But, it seemed that securing the elusive Colletti wasn’t as easy as “Laguna Beach” producers hoped that it would be. Colletti didn’t want to be on the show, and despite LC admitting that she liked him on her audition tape, it took some convincing to get Colletti to agree. Eventually he did, but there was a third puzzle piece missing: “We literally could not find Kristin,” MTV executive Liz Gately said. “We didn’t have any tape on her, didn’t have any pictures — our entire production was waiting on this girl.” Once “Laguna” producers found Cavallari, they had a show and everyone couldn’t get enough of LC. So, eventually “LB” came to an end and she moved to “The Hills,” where fans got the chance to meet Lady Gaga long before she was the superstar that she is now. At a 2008 fashion show, LC and her pal Whitney Port had to help style Gaga for a performance at the show. Gaga’s catsuit zipper broke, LC managed to save the day and from there a star was born. Speaking of stars being born, while Justin Bobby (whose last name happens to be Brescia) didn’t show up on the show until season 3, he had been in Audrina Patridge’s life for quite a while longer. They had met when Audrina was working at Quixote Studios and he was there, working on a shoot as a hair stylist. They dated on and off for some time, and while it was difficult for Audrina to get him to commit, it was more difficult for “Hills” producers to get him to agree to be on the show. So by the time he and Audrina decided to give their relationship another try, he had to agree to be on the show. “Third season comes around and he’s back in my life,” Audrina recalled. “So I’m like, ‘Well if you want to hang out with me you have to be on camera.'” He finally agreed, Lo Bosworth christened him Justin Bobby and the rest is reality-TV relationship history. Fans couldn’t get enough of Speidi, so when Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt decided to get married in April 2009, producers had to make sure that everything, including cameos by LC and Kristin, went just right. As if keeping the two girls away from each other wasn’t difficult enough, power issues in the church meant that they would have to work hours longer. Once they got the power restored, LC was able to reunite with Heidi one last time, Kristin was able to surprise everyone by strutting into the church, Speidi could finally get married — not to mention that LC could drive off into the sunset. Join MTV News all week as we look back at the best of “The Hills” and celebrate the series finale with the cast during our livestream from the finale’s red carpet on Tuesday!

Big Lunar Eclipse – 3:17 am PDT

PhysOrg.com) — This Saturday morning, June 26th, there's going to be a lunar eclipse—and for many residents of the USA, it's going to be a big one. The eclipse begins at 3:17 am PDT (10:17 UT) when the Moon enters the sunset-colored shadow of Earth. By 4:38 am PDT (11:38 UT), the moment of greatest eclipse, 54% of the Moon's diameter will be covered. From beginning to end, the event lasts almost three hours. Although the eclipse is only partial, it will be magnified in size and charm by the “Moon Illusion”–a result of the eclipse occurring close to the horizon from viewing sites in the USA. For reasons not fully understood by astronomers or psychologists, low-hanging Moons look unnaturally large when they beam through trees, buildings and other foreground objects. In fact, a low Moon is no wider than any other Moon—cameras prove it—but the human brain insists otherwise. Who are we to argue? The effect will be particularly strong in western and central parts of the USA and Canada where the Moon will be setting as the eclipse reaches maximum. (Observing tip: Look low and to the west just before dawn.) The fact that the extra size is just an illusion in no way detracts from the beauty. People in New England and northeastern Canada will justmiss it. The Moon sets shortly before the eclipse begins. http://www.physorg.com/news196698260.html added by: Stoneyroad

Sofia Coppola And Phoenix’s Thomas Mars Have Baby Girl

Cosima is the couple’s second child, joining 3-year-old sister Romy. By Eric Ditzian Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars Photo: Getty Images Oscar-winning director Sofia Coppola and Grammy-winning Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars have recently given birth to their second baby girl, People magazine reports. Named Cosima, the girl was born “within the last month,” a source told the magazine. The newborn is the couple’s second daughter, joining Romy, who is now 3 years old. The couple began dating in 2005 and revealed that Coppola, who won a best writing Oscar for “Lost in Translation,” was pregnant in December. The duo have most recently collaborated on Coppola’s upcoming film “Somewhere,” with Phoenix writing what Mars has described as a “very minimal” soundtrack for the project. “She asked us to do some music, very in the spirit of ‘Love Like a Sunset,’ so we tried to put that track and elements of the track in the movie, and it worked well,” Phoenix guitarist Christian Mazzalai told MTV Radio. “And then we wrote very small pieces of music, very minimal music for the movie too. … We’re very proud of it.” “This is the first time we feel [that] the music fits to the picture,” bassist Deck D’Arcy added. “We’ve [been on] many soundtracks before, and it’s always weird for us — producers must like [our songs], of course, if they use them — but for us, it’s always weird to see them in the films.” Starring Stephen Dorff as a Hollywood bad boy, “Somewhere” takes place largely at the famed Chateau Marmont hotel. The first trailer dropped earlier this month, with the film expected to hit theaters in December. Mars, meanwhile, continues to tour with Phoenix, which won a Best Alternative Music Album Grammy last year. The band kicked off the latest leg of their tour June 11 in North Carolina and then headed off to Germany and the U.K. They’ll weave throughout Europe before returning to the States in August and finally wrapping up in Mexico City at the end of September.

‘American Idol’ Experts Predict Crystal Bowersox/ Lee DeWyze Showdown

If the judges have their way, Casey James is going home this week. By Gil Kaufman Crystal Bowersox on “American Idol” Tuesday Photo: FOX They’ve said it before, but this time our “American Idol” experts really mean it: This is the week Casey James is riding off into the sunset, paving the way for the long-expected showdown in next week’s “Idol” finale between Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze. “Simon Cowell and company have been pushing for a Lee/Crystal finale since week one, and it looks as though they’ll be getting that come results-show time,” MTV News’ resident “Idol” expert Jim Cantiello predicted. “Casey did nothing to convince America that he deserved to break up the MamaSox and DeWyze showdown. Rewind to a year ago, where Kris Allen was expected to sing his swan song but instead showed up armed with brilliance.” Cantiello said Casey squandered his chance to gain ground after landing the opening slot on Tuesday night’s show by picking a song from obscure singer Eric Hutchinson, “OK, It’s Alright With Me.” He was then saddled with a lackluster judges’ pick in John Mayer’s “Daughters.” “Crystal’s got the fanbase; Lee’s got the momentum,” Cantiello said. “Casey’s got … the opportunity to pack his bags. Mr. James, you are no match for the judges’ pimping. Sorry. It’s been fun.” Our other expert, MJ Santilli of MJsBigBlog.com , couldn’t agree more, though she added that it might just be time to crown DeWyze the champ right now after his bravura performance of the oft-sung “Idol” chestnut “Hallelujah,” by Leonard Cohen. “Wow. Simon Cowell manufactured quite the moment for Lee, with the choir, and the horns and strings,” she said of the dramatic show-closing performance by DeWyze, the former paint-store clerk and high school rabble-rouser . “He also made sure the song had the proper ‘climax’ as he called it,” Santilli said.

Gisele Bundchen got cheeky with a wardrobe assistant at a racy photo shoot in Malibu yesterday.

Tom Brady’s lady got cheeky with a wardrobe assistant at a racy photo shoot in Malibu yesterday. On the heels of a footloose and fancy free vacation with her boyfriend Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen was spotted yesterday doing what she does best… looking pretty for the camera. striking a series of poses wearing some awfully skimpy lingerie. And of course there were plenty of swarming shutterbugs trying to catch a glimpse. But the workers at the photo shoot did their best to give the Victoria’s Secret beauty the privacy she needed, shielding her from the paparazzi whenever possible. The day before, Gisele and Tom arrived back at LAX International Airport, returning from Ibiza, Spain where Bundchen was modeling for a Vogue eyewear gig. Sorce TMZ/INF Daily/Gossip Girls/ONTD

SPECIAL REPORT: BRITNEY SPEARS REUNITES WITH MANAGER LARRY RUDOLPH

The Following Article Was Written By Hollywood-247 R eaders won’t be at all surprised by yesterday’s (TUES) flurry of frenzied Hollywood news stories that pop-princess Britney Spears and former manager Larry Rudolph will soon reunite. It began with a flash from E! Entertainment quickly followed by US.com and then instantly on TMZ. But if they’d all read our column last Tuesday Larry told me exclusively on a visit to his new Sunset Tan salon at the just opened Palms Place that he’d been talking constantly to her father, Jamie and added: “Britney will soon be able to seriously think about resuming her showbiz career and that comeback will be the biggest story ever.” Larry masterminded Britney’s incredible money making career and chart-topping success over the years—and they only split up when she was angry that he’d helped orchestrate her initial rehab stint in the Promises clinic in the hills above Malibu. But as he told me with a knowing look and a twinkle in his eye: “She’s dumped all those bad people that somehow got into her life. She’s got rid of all those terrible influences and if she stages a tour it’ll make the biggest showbiz comeback ever.” He even confirmed that she’s already been working out with a choreographer to get her dancing right back to peak performance level!
