Remember when those scandalous nudie photos of “The Hills” star Audrina Patridge hit the internet like a week ago?

Yeah. Those were good times.

I mean, some of us debated the merits of the photos and whether or not, strategically, such a thing was good for her career or not (I mean, it’s no Lindsay Lohan sex tape but you take what you can get when you’re on cable), or whether the hills were manmade or natural, and other crude things like that.

Well, when news broke, MTV News super-producer Akshay Bhansali came sprinting across the Newsroom floor last week to show us a tape he had shot of Audrina back in 2005, when she was ostensibly 22.

He sent along this note, too, a little later:

Now I’m not here to bite the hand that feeds me but merely to point to another side – possibly the backside - of “The Hills.” Call me a hater, but we all KNOW how bad these chicks want to be famous. They follow formulaic and tested methods of marketing and image shaping.

So yeah, back in ‘05 when Akshay was producing for the now-defunct MTV Desi (the South Asian MTV channel, except in America, and only if you paid extra; trust us, it was great!), he caught up with clothing designer Anand Jon at the South Asian Media Awards, and, well, guess who was one of the models on his arm?

So they’re not naked pictures of Audrina BUT THIS IS THE BEST WE COULD DO WITH THE RESTRAINTS THAT WE HAVE OF BEING A ‘FAMILY COMPANY.’ Or something. Please Mr. Viacom, don’t fire us.More after the jump.On a serious note, though, Akshay weighed in yet again about what the implications of hanging out with Anand Jon could be:

At the time I shot this, Jon was riding high, with celebrity clients like Paris and Nicky, guest appearances on “America’s Next Top Model,” etc. But now Jon is currently behind bars, indicted on close to 50 felonies in NY and CA. They range from rape to sexual battery to lewd acts on a child — all on victims who were young models.
