On Maxim's annual "Hot List" poll - Lindsay Lohan was #1 last year - The Hills' Heidi Montag ranked No. 36 while Lauren Conrad came in behind at No. 56.

Uh... seriously? Sacrilege!

Ironically, the editors at Maxim credit Lauren with "paving the way for Heidi." What does that even mean? Oh, right - it means Heidi wouldn't even be "famous" if it wasn't for Lauren!

Us Weekly reports in their latest issue about Speidi's plot to destroy Lauren. Hopefully we'll finally learn why Heidi and Spencer keep talking and talking about this sex tape - a sex tape no one's seen! - and what Lauren's pals have to say about the feud.

Who's side are you on?

It has seemed painfully obvious to us - after a few too many covers and double-page spreads on the couple - that Heidi and Spencer likely have a deal with Us Weekly.

Star Mag points to a blind item in the New York Daily News (April 20), that read:

"Which weekly glossy just signed a megamillion-dollar contract with a certain annoying celebrity couple? The deal is, the magazine will get exclusive interviews with the couple, but in turn, they need to break up (again), get back together (again) and actually get married."

These kids must be raking it in! They're obviously getting a cut of the "exclusive" photos they pose for AND they're on Wenner's payroll?!

Hey, with Britney back on track, Lindsay laying relatively low, and Paris being a good girl, the mags have gotta find their new "thing" -- but did it really have to be these two?

And if Us Weekly's paying off The Hills couple, where does that put Viacom's relationship with the mag -- that's a whole lotta free publicity!

UPDATE! - Just got off the line with a source from Us Weekly and I'm told there is DEFINITELY NO DEAL between the annoying celebrity couple and the mag. Source says "it's a mutually beneficial relationship" and that one of their Heidi covers was a top-selling issue. The Heidi-Spencer monster is outta control and America loves them AND loves to hate them!

Everyone always said it would take a miracle to get Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag to agree with each other on anything - and apparently, that miracle's name is Miley Cyrus!

Extra asked Heidi for her thoughts about the controversy surrounding Miley's recent racy photos. Heidi's response was completely supportive of the teen queen, defending Miley's decision to pose for the pics as that of "a young girl in Hollywood, and she’s just having fun. [She]'s exploring herself.”

Of course, Heidi defending Miley getting sexy isn't too much of a surprise - but the demure Lauren? Now that's another story!

Us quotes Lauren: “I found it a bit silly. I thought she looked beautiful in the pictures. I didn’t find it that inappropriate. [Miley has] a lot of pressure on her since she is a role model, but I think she’s doing a good job.”

Jeez - if it weren't for last night's episode, we'd think Heidi and Lauren's statements almost constituted a thaw in their feud! It's just too bad Disney would nev-errrrrrrrrrrr let Miley appear on The Hills - now that would make for some great TV!

Bet you thought you'd never see Heidi and Lauren back together again, but here they are on the cover of Rolling Stone, wearing next-to-nothing!

Course, they have Audrina standing between them, but despite all indications on the show last night that the feud is no where near ending, this seems to be a step in the right direction for the pair who have refused to do any kind of press or photo shoots together in a long time.

I do love that while Heidi and Audrina (aka the sluts) are giving us their best "men's magazine" poses (Heidi's even doing the Tyra "booty tooch"!), Lauren and Whitney are demurely looking away from the camera!

And speaking of last night's episode, didn't it kind of seem like Lauren and Lo are giving Audrina the shaft? Lo might have been the sweet and innocent one on Laguna Beach, but she's kinda turning into a Mean Girl on The Hills!

Which girl do you think is a better roommate for Lauren? Audrina or Lo?

We spotted Spencer Pratt, Heidi Montag and Spencer's other main blonde - his sister Stephanie - outside of Boulevard 3 last night. Word on the street is, Spencer threw his sis a birthday bash as MTV cameras rolled.

Stephanie is definitely a great addition to The Hills, and it looks like she might even be able to give Heidi some tips in the style department. Don't get me wrong - Heidi is a total hottie with a killer body, but the leather jacket isn't really working. I could also dedicate an entire blog to how wrong those baby blue gladiator heels are, but I won't.

Page Six is reporting that during their recent trip to New York, The Hills' villainous duo Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt pitched their own "Newlyweds" type show to MTV, the network that spawned Speidi in the first place.

According to the paper, Spencer was overheard telling network programming chief Tony DiSanto, "'I want the world to see the real Heidi and Spencer,' and was emphasizing that the show would be just about them. No Lauren Conrad."

Sounds trainwreck-errific!

Will YOU watch?

The Hills' star Heidi Montag debuted her clothing line for Anchor Blue on Friday night at the Hollywood and Highland center, and from the looks of this little number, we can't imagine anyone being able to get into Heidiwood without passing through Slutville.

Whose clothes would you rather wear - Heidi's or Lauren's?

What - you though Heidi Montag's big show at Hollywood & Highland Heidiwood would be your only chance to see her showing off her stuff? Well, guess again!

We caught up with the Hills stars at LAX yesterday as they got ready to fly the friendly skies. Spencer clearly couldn't wait to get out of his tux and into some more comfortable clothes - but Heidi clearly couldn't pass up the chance to look super-chic one more time!

Heidi Montag's a Republican? Wait - Heidi Montag votes?!????!??!

Apparently so on both counts - the Hills vixen told Us Magazine that, as a staunch Republican, she'd be voting for John McCain!

The celebrated feminist's declaration comes after a lot of discussion with Spencer Pratt on the subject. Pratt had initially warned her against endorsing anyone, but even Heidi couldn't see the harm in it - the mag even quotes her as saying "I don't think anyone cares who Heidi Montag votes for"!

Well, that's not true - John McCain certainly cares! The candidate took a momnet to tell a Time.com blogger that he was "honored" to have Heidi's endorsement - and that he never misses an episode of The Hills - "especially since the new season started"!

(Maybe Heidi could be McCain's version of the Obama Girl? After all, we already know she can sing!)

As we all learned from Mean Girls, "frenemies" are enemies who act like friends and "fraitors" are friends who secretly hate you. Of course, this kind of drama doesn't just exist in movies - it's very much present in young Hollywood!

For our first example, look at Lindsay Lohan (star of MG) and her BFF Samantha Ronson. But has Sam always been a good influence on Linds? At least she's helping LiLo with her new album now... our favorite rehabber doesn't need anymore toxic people in her life!

Speaking of which, there's Brandon Davis - ya know, the one who launched the "firecrotch" tirade against the 21-year-old starlet. Heiress Paris Hilton used to be best buddies with this dude, but we're glad that's over with because Paris is better off without him!

And don't forget about the Brits! Rocker Pete Doherty has certainly influenced - at least to some degree - the hard-partying ways of ex Kate Moss and pal Amy Winehouse. Think these gals are better off on their own?

Finally, there's our beloved reality stars. With the return of The Hills, we can definitely expect to see more Lauren/Heidi/Spencer drama... but what's real and what's fake?

Guess that's the point - sometimes, you never can tell!

Ok, I was super excited for The Hills premiere last night, but OMG, so disappointing!

You could see the "mishaps" like Collette being closed and the Alberta Ferretti dressed being ruined coming from a mile away -- and, hello? WTF is up with Lauren not macking on that hot French rock star??? (I'm not gonna even comment about the boring Heidi vs. Spencer drama in Colorado.)

The best part about the whole show was Mariah Carey hanging out with Lauren et al in her skin tight mini-dress and her gold lamé jacket! And her little anecdotes? Brillz, y'all. I love how she claims she stays in shape by eating really "boring" and working out all the time. If that were the case, why was she pulling a "Tyra", tilting her body away from the camera and sucking in her gut the entire time?

I also love how Lauren looked absolutely terrified to speak directly to the diva -- like she was afraid Mariah would devour her right then and there!

The New York Times , in a review of the new season of The Hills set to premiere tonight (we can't wait!), has declared that "Heidi has emerged as a kind of feminist hero," especially in the battle between Lauren Conrad and her former best friend.

And ya know what? They're kinda right!

At least in the context of the onscreen drama:

We've been "Team Lauren" since the beginning...but is her "baroque moralism" (as the NYT says) a bit out-dated and old-fashioned?

Is she really trying to turn the tables now?

Media-loving couple Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have consistently proven their affection for attention. So why, when we spotted them at the cleaners in Hollywood yesterday, are they hiding their faces from the cameras?

Thank god Spencer is still the same! But what about Ms. Montag?

Heidi Montag made sure the cameras caught sight of her, er, Hills last night when she and Spencer showed up at Nobu for a dinner date. In fact, the couple didn't even mean for us to be the ones catching 'em - they were actually waiting for another agency to arrive when we showed up!

But seriously, how huge are Heidi's boobs looking these days? If she's not careful, those things are gonna have people taking her singing career less seriou - oh. Right.

So much for true love!

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt from MTV's The Hills are getting too fake - if that's even possible! Apparently they both sat down to talk to Us Weekly TOGETHER about their crumbling relationship. These two just can't get enough attention!

It seems Spencer may have a girl on the side. "I've definitely been betrayed by friends before, but I've never had a boyfriend do this to me," says Heidi. Yes you have! Haven't you even seen season two of your own show?!

Spencer adds his two cents: "I'm not too happy about a lot of things."

What about that photo op make-out, guys? Togetha 4-eva!

Ryan Seacrest's people told X17online that they received this track of Heidi Montag dueting with Britney Spears from a producer that wanted to remain anonymous.

The duet, in which Heidi's practically unitelligible vocals were apparently mixed with Britney's in an old demo, almost makes me ill, but is it illegal as well?

Although it's possible that the producer owns the track, who owns the right to Britney's vocals?

We've put in a call to Jive, are waiting to hear their take on the track...

Stay tuned!

What, you thought Will and Jada were the only kissing couple we've seen lately? Seems like we can't swing the proverbial dead cat over our heads without hitting a couple locking lips - let's take a look at some of the more graphic practitioners of PDA!
