First Kris Allen, now Stephanie Pratt.
Last week while I was in Los Angeles covering the "Idol" finale (and getting props from the recent winner), a familiar face from "The Hills" left me a message on my Facebook wall praising my other recap endeavor for MTV, "MTV Detox: The Hills." Keeping the punctuation intact, Spencer's sister wrote: "great show! great job! i love to laugh at myself- i hate when people take the show so damn serious... give me a break people! Lauren conrads job is being Lauren Conrad. i am in no way 'ruining her internship at peoples revolution' so everyone needs to calm down! thanks for making the show funny! xoxoxoxo."
First of all, I love how the only thing she capitalizes is Lauren's name, as if LC were a deity. Amazing. Second of all, how awesome is that message?! It says a lot that she has a sense of humor about herself.
Some backstory is needed for full disclosure. A few weeks ago, I apparently "friend requested" Stephanie. (I have no recollection of doing so. I must have been drunk. Why would I friend-request a "Hills" cast member when my Facebook account is posting less-than-flattering "Hills" recaps 90 percent of the time?!) It took her some time to accept my request, and when she did, it was a total shock. I actually thought that Team Detox had hacked into my Facebook account and requested the friendship behind my back.
Once she accepted my request, Joel, the awesome "Detox" PA, dared me to post that week's "Detox" recap on her wall. I thought it was a terrible idea since the episode featured an extended bit about how bad Steph was at her job, but Joel persisted and I caved in.
Next thing I know, Steph replied with that super-sweet reply. What a relief!!
So if you haven't already, check out our latest latest "Detox" recap of "The Hills." It's an especially insane one. There's time travel, alternate universes and explosions. Sort of like "Star Trek," but with no money. And we talk about "The Hills." But if Stephanie Pratt is a fan of "Detox," you should be, too.
(If this week's episode is too off-the-deep end for your taste, keep watching the playlist for our previous recaps ...)
