			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Frankie Delgado isn't taking his new gig as <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/movieawards/2009/">MTV Movie Awards</a> weekend guest host lightly. The <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/the_hills/series.jhtml">"Hills"</a> star showed up to the morning news meeting ready to learn everything he can from the best in the business &#8212; Sway and Tim Kash &#8212; about how to be an on-air personality.</p>
<p>Sway laid the ground rules for Delgado, telling him, "Don't be late!" He then warned him that one of his fashion accessories should only be worn by longtime reporters: "Only the vets can wear shades!"</p>
<p>Then Frankie and Tim had a heart-to-heart about what he should expect while <a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1612253/20090527/story.jhtml">working the awards show alongside Lo Bosworth and Stephanie Pratt</a> on Sunday.</p>
<p>"I want to see a stage," Frankie told Tim about what he expects from Sunday. "Belly dancers! I want to see Britney Spears, T.I." After Tim let him know he won't be seeing that stuff, he said, "Then I guess I want to see <a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1612229/20090527/story.jhtml">Andy Samberg</a>. I got one!"</p>

To see if the reality star listened to Tim and Sway, check Frankie out before Sunday's big show at 9 p.m. ET.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/movieawards/2009/">MTV Movie Awards</a> only days away and a new gig as one of our <a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1612253/20090527/story.jhtml">MTV Movie Awards weekend guest hosts</a>, Lo Bosworth is hitting the gym to make sure she's fit in time for Sunday. She also has to look good for the <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/the_hills/series.jhtml">"Hills"</a> season finale, which airs at 8 p.m. ET Sunday, right before the awards show.</p>
<p>Lo has been spending a lot of quality time with her trainer, Garret, this week, doing some kickboxing. "You have to be in shape," she told MTV News. "You have to look good in your dress. This is hard work, you guys!"</p>
<p>Lo, who punched, kicked and squatted her way to get red-carpet-ready, will be looking good and fit alongside her fellow "Hills" buddies Frankie Delgado and Stephanie Pratt as they all make their way around L.A. to find out all the latest news leading up to the awards show.</p>
<div align="center"><div width="512" height="319" style="background-color: #000000; height: 319px; width: 512px;" id="id:1612256.vid:395127.instance:wp" class="player-placeholder"></div></div><p>If you want to see just how trim Lo ended up getting from all her kickboxing, then you'll just have to tune in to the big show Sunday at 9 p.m. ET to find out!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stephanie Pratt told us her <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1611633/20090518/story.jhtml">fashion-forward style at her high school proms</a> got her in trouble &#8212; and now we have photographic evidence from Stephanie herself to prove it!</p>
<p>She sent some photos over to MTV News. "I had really great prom memories, actually," she said. We get a glimpse of that yellow Imitation of Christ dress, which Stephanie thought was "beautiful."</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mtv.com/photos/?fid=1611719"><img src="http://www.mtv.com/shared/promoimages/news/h/hills/stephane_pratt/prom_flip/500x365_3.jpg"></a></p>
<p>(<a href="http://www.mtv.com/photos/?fid=1611719">Check out all the photos here!</a>)</p>
<p>And we also get to see the very low-cut black dress that got her into so much trouble back in the day, as it was deemed "too risqu&#233;" by school officials. Stephanie's defense? It was "off the runway" and "high fashion."</p>
<p>We also get to see Stephanie hanging out with her pre-"Hills" friends, smiling for the camera, hugging her girlfriends, hanging out in the limo and going to the various dances with the same lucky fellow. We wonder what he is up to these days, and we wonder what he thinks of his high school prom date becoming a reality-TV star.</p>
<p><i>To hear more about <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1611601/20090518/lachey_nick.jhtml">Nick Lachey's, Vanessa Minnillo's</a>, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1611620/20090518/story.jhtml">Ciara's</a>, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1611540/20090515/story.jhtml">Lo Bosworth's</a> and tons more celebrities' prom memories, stick with MTV News this week for Prom Week!</i></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://newsroom.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/port.jpg" class="thumbnailmain">Whitney Port has certainly thrown out some great advice over the years to her longtime buddy and former <i>Teen Vogue</i> co-worker Lauren Conrad on "The Hills," but now "The City" star will throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Tuesday's Los Angeles Dodgers game when they go up against the Mets.</p>
<p>In what is sure to be a battle of the coasts, Whitney, who was born and raised in L.A., will also sign autographs for fans in the DodgersWIN (Women's Initiatives Network) tent. Little known fact about Ms. Port: her dad, Jeff, was drafted by the Dodgers in 1968. And since baseball seems to be in the Port jeans, ah, genes (that was a clothing-line pun!), her brother Ryan will catch her pitch at the game. </p>
<p>We assume that since Whitney is an L.A. native she's probably rooting for her home team, but since she's now sort of a New Yorker, we hope that she can also make room in her heart for the Mets as well. As she probably knows by now, New Yorkers very intensely love their baseball and very intensely hope their hometown team wins.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.mtv.com/shared/promoimages/news/h/hills/cavallari_raw/mos/article/140x105.jpg" alt="Kristin Cavallari" class="thumbnailmain">Apparently the news that <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1610163/20090428/index.jhtml">Lauren Conrad is leaving "The Hills"</a> has left thousands of teenage <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1610227/20090429/story.jhtml">girls and boys around the country in a state of mourning</a>.</p>
<p>In just four years, LC has gone from the seaside resort town of Laguna Beach to becoming an international sensation as the star of MTV's hit show "The Hills." And whether or not you watch the show, it's almost impossible to find someone who hasn't at least heard the names LC, Heidi, Spencer and Audrina.</p>
<p>Well, it's official &#8212; after five whole seasons, "Hills" centerpiece Lauren Conrad will be <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1611386/20090514/index.jhtml">replaced by frienemy Kristin Cavallari</a> &#8212; prompting mixed reactions from fans all over the world.</p>
<p>So today I stepped just outside the building into Times Square to ask "Hills" fans exactly what they thought of Lauren leaving, her new replacement Kristin, and if they think the show will be better or worse without LC.</p>
<p>It wasn't hard to find die-hard "Hills" fans &#8212; in fact, it was really easy. From Kentucky, Florida, New York and London &#8212; we had people lining up to comment on the show and, judging by those we spoke to, LC is going to be missed. Hers are some big shoes to fill. But let me put you all at ease &#8212; one thing everyone should know is that the producers and team behind the show know exactly what they are doing and, most importantly, they know exactly what fans of "The Hills" want: drama! So don't sleep on Kristin Cavallari just yet &#8212; something tells me it's going to be an interesting season.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If there's one guy in the world who can best imagine what it's like to be one of the "Hills" girls, it's none other than Jonah Hill. Sure, at first glance you might think to yourself: Jonah has nothing in common with Heidi Montag and Lauren Conrad, and maybe you're right.</p>
<p>But some brave soul at <a href="http://www.harpersbazaar.com/fashion/fashion-articles/jonah-hill-0609?click=main_sr" target="_blank"><i>Harper's Bazaar</i></a> thought it would be funny if the "Funny People" star got his "Hills" on. And judging by the photos, that brave soul was right. We imagine someone thought there was a fun pun to work with: His last name is Hill, and the show is called "The Hills." How clever!</p>
<p><center><img src="http://newsroom.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/jonah_in_da_club.jpg"></center></p>
<p>In the photo spread, we see Jonah in several "Hills"-like scenarios. We see him partying in the club, perhaps like Brody Jenner or Spencer Pratt would: flanked by girls, taking shots and dancing. <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2009/05/11/spencer-pratt-should-release-this-amazing-voicemail-message-as-his-next-single/">Pratt Daddy</a> would be so proud!</p>
<p>Next up, we see Jonah and his lovely date, Lauren Conrad look-alike Riley Keough (whose granddad happens to be Elvis!), making their way down a red carpet. Just another Monday night, right? Then, Jonah and Riley spend their time shopping and getting some lunch.</p>
<p>And then, because no "Hills" photo shoot would be complete without it, the two really bring the drama. But don't worry: They eventually made up and went grocery shopping. We wonder if Lauren and Heidi will do the same?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Little did I know that at some point today Spencer Pratt would release a rap song (<a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2009/05/11/spencer-pratt-gets-his-mc-on-for-im-a-celebrity/">yes, a rap song</a>) that would require me to request an interview with him and then miss his phone call.</p>
<p>Well, it turns out missing his phone call was the best thing that could have happened, because Spencer leaves the best voicemails ever.</p>
<p>Although he didn't identify himself by his given name until later in the message, I've seen "The Hills" enough to know who it was on the other end of the receiver. Bear in mind I've never really met him &#8212; except for that one time on the red carpet when <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2008/12/23/the-hills-finale-brings-our-reporter-closer-to-spencer-pratt-maybe-too-close/">I fell on him</a> &#8212; so I'm pretty sure he doesn't remember me, thus making this voicemail to a complete stranger even more amazing. Highlights include his multiple nicknames and a promise for the "hottest interview" of my life.</p>
<p>First off, I have never met somebody with so many nicknames. Secondly, the interview was quite, um, "hot," as Spencer did share that he plans on releasing a whole rap album and kind of started some <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1611096/20090511/story.jhtml">white rap beef with Asher Roth</a>. Did we forget to mention he's kind of like Jay-Z AND Biggie? But the voicemail was the highlight of my day. Enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.mtv.com/onair/the_hills/season_5/photos/spencer/promo/option-2/140x105.jpg" class="thumbnailmain">As if having one Pratt in the music industry weren't enough for America's collective eardrums to handle, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1610024/20090425/story.jhtml">Heidi's new husband, Spencer Pratt</a>, is now getting in on the music game. Today on <a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/audio/?MediaID=221" target="_blank">Ryan Seacrest's radio show</a>, Spencer debuted his new rap song, aptly titled "I'm a Celebrity."</p>
<p>The song seems to be a plug for his and Heidi's gig on NBC's <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1610017/20090424/index.jhtml">"I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here!"</a> It features such rhymes as, "Baby, I get paid/ I don't volunteer/ I'm a celebrity/ Get me outta here." He also raps, "Baby I watch TV/ And run the Internet/ Been around the world/ And still I'm not finished yet."</p>
<p>And in case we forgot that he is Spencer Pratt and he is famous, he reiterates one more time: "Me, not famous?/ Whoa, that's scary!" Lucky for us, Spencer doesn't think you'll be jetting down to hot spots like H.Wood to check out his music. He has coined a new term for what he does: "They don't hear me in the clubs/ This is ringtone rap."</p>
<p>Spence also gives his new wife a shout-out: "I'm a celebrity/ Five-star everything/ My money is attached to me/ Just like my wedding ring."</p>
<p>But Spencer knows some people are going to hate him and his song. And, like any good rapper, he has taken to his rhymes to express the pain he's gone through in his life. "Counting on the haters/ Every day to keep me going/ Without the haters, baby/ I would be no one."</p>

And while one might think that Brody Jenner, Justin Bobby or Spencer Pratt are the "Hills" stars that would totally be into checking out the movie, few would expect the show's female contingent would actually be into it. But it seems that these days Stephanie Pratt and Heidi Montag are jumping on the "Live Long and Prosper" bandwagon.</p>
<p>Although she may not have the Vulcan hand greeting down yet, Stephanie is hoping that someone will guide her on the path to Trekkie enlightenment.</p>
<p>"U guys - I really want to be a 'trekie,' " Stephanie <a href="http://twitter.com/stephaniepratt" target="_blank">Tweeted</a>, before correcting herself. "Woops! I mean 'trekkie' - thanks u guys! And yes I am so serious. I need a new hobby -When is the next convention and who is taking me???"</p>
<p>And Stephanie's new sister-in-law, Heidi, was also onboard, writing on her <a href="http://twitter.com/heidimontag" target="_blank">Twitter page</a>, "I'm so excited to see 'Star Trek'!" </p>
<p>Heidi's former "Laguna Beach" co-star Kristin Cavallari beat them both to the punch. The night before she attended the <a href="http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1610427/20090501/story.jhtml">L.A. premiere of "Star Trek"</a> last week, she <a href="http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&#038;mediaKey=365e0c5a-69a6-49a2-8399-b93e3fe5f0ca" target="_blank">told reporters</a> that she'd love to make Chris Pine (a.k.a. Captain Kirk) her next on-screen beau.</p>
<p>Well, with guys like Pine, Zachary Quinto, Eric Bana and John Cho in the flick, it's not surprising that these young <a href="http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2009/05/04/star-trek-offers-something-for-the-ladies-chris-pine-and-zachary-quinto/">ladies have "Star Trek" fever.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://newsroom.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/site140.jpg" class="thumbnailmain">On Wednesday night, I attended "Stand Up and Be Counted," a fundraiser for the <a href="http://www.agahozo-shalom.org/" target="_blank">Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village</a><br />
 (ASYV) in Rwanda.</p>
<p>ASYV is a residential community, as well as high school, in Rwanda. It houses youth who lost their parents during the horrific 1994 Rwandan racial strife, when over 1 million ethnic Tutsis were killed by Hutus. In college, I actually wrote a chapter of my honors thesis in part on the Rwandan genocide, and knowing the details of the tragedy, I was excited to be a part of an event held by such an organization.</p>
<p>I arrived with John Norris as my date; we walked the carpet together (I'm not sure we were fooling anyone, even though I called him my "boyfriend" twice &#8212; oh well!), and went inside to a completely packed room at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square. I brushed shoulders with Whitney Port, Spencer Grammer (Kelsey's daughter) and actress Susan Egan. I think Natalie Portman may have been there too (she's on the board of the organization) but I didn't see her.</p>
<p>After a few speakers and an excellent short film about the residents of ASYV, artist Michael Israel put on a rock-art-interactive performance, which was actually excellent.  I was worried at first when I thought he was drawing a large tiger, but relieved when he turned the painting 90 degrees to the left and revealed a stunningly accurate John Lennon portrait (the song "Imagine" was playing in the background, and I felt fairly stupid for not seeing it before the "reveal" &#8212; not to mention embarrassed that I had exclaimed 10 minutes earlier that I was sure it was going to be a massive tiger...).  Anyway, it was still pretty cool.</p>

<p>Leaving the event, I went home and re-read a few of my old papers on the Rwandan genocide, and then a little more about ASYV's "Stand Up and Be Counted" campaign. Today, I'm going to find a way to get involved myself. It really is refreshing to see an organization that is creative in their mission and diligent, efficient and successful in its implementation. Amazingly, as we heard last night, the idea for ASYV actually came from what at the time seemed an idealistic concept at a dinner party. That idea has now saved, educated, and housed hundreds of Rwandan children.</p>
