Watching the new opening credits of this last season of The Hills (a new episode premieres tonight) as Natasha Bedingfield wails about feeling the rain on your skin, we’re struck by a new and slightly jarring sight: Juxtaposed with current images of each character (Heidi, Lo, Audrina, and Kristin) is a faux -grainy video clip of each of them from earlier in the show’s four-year run.

Why The Hills’ Opening Credits Are Both Creepy and Cruel

Whether making hilarious passive-aggressive digs at diva Rachel or asking love interest Tina if she wants to “get up on this,” Kevin McHale’s Artie — a skinny nerd with the heart of LL Cool J — gains more fans each week on Glee .

By Martha Reed I’ve been working steadily on my manuscript, keeping my eye on the prize, an agent pitch session next week at the PennWriters Conference in Lancaster, PA. Getting a book published is so much harder and so much more work than just crafting a story – there are all these supplemental documents you need to create: the perfect pitch, a synopsis, an enticing query letter and an outline. But all these support documents need to be in place on the off chance that lightening might strike and you might actually need them

By Laurissa Kastle The Pennwriters Conference is less than a month away! Where did the time go? When I excitedly registered to attend this conference, back in January (on the first day of registration, I might add), I also signed up to meet with an agent to pitch my manuscript. In January, May seemed like the very distant future, and of course my first manuscript would be finished, and I would be ready to start my search for an agent

by Joyce Since I’m having an incredibly busy week, and I don’t have a topic prepared, I declare today “Ask the Working Stiffs Day.” Ask me, or any of the other Stiffs anything you want–preferably writing related, or in any of our areas of expertise (we do have some expertise in something, don’t we?) and we’ll do our best to answer. Just don’t ask me anything involving math. Unless you want the wrong answer, of course

by Martha Reed Easter weekend was a big weekend for me for a lot of reasons, mostly because my late Winter/early Spring calendar booked up quickly and then the events turned challenging: driving up I-79 and over on I-90 in a blizzard for my sisters 50th birthday in Niagara; nervously keeping a wary weather eye on the river in Confluence during our PGH SinC Writer’s Workshop with Ramona Long. Last weekend in Vegas was enough to do anyone in although I have to admit that watching the movie The Hangover when actually in sitting in a hotel room in Vegas in pajamas does add a certain degree of verisimilitude.

After a string of celebrity versions, NBC announced it will team with Donald Trump for a new version of The Apprentice with 14 contestants who “have been hit hard by the current economic downturn,” including the unemployed and despondent recent college grads. “We’ve got to do something about the economy and this is a terrific way to provide jobs as well as business lessons along the way,” Trump said in a statement. “[We] hope this economic downturn can begin a turnaround, and we’ll do our best with The Apprentice to see that it starts happening

Devin the Dude’s new album Suite #420 comes out April 20th, and he’s building up anticipation with an EP, Do No DistHerb , that’s out now, featuring the new track “We Get High.” Guess what? It’s about smoking weed! But before the cliché-averse among you close the window, know this: Devin raps about weed not because he’s a rapper and he’s supposed to but because he truly, deeply loves to.

Presumably encouraged by the positive Internet response to Monday’s Treme trailer , and yesterday’s Boardwalk Empire , HBO has apparently decided to release a new trailer every day until both shows debut. Today, a new new trailer for Treme , this one featuring actual dialogue! We hadn’t realized a show by Wire creator David Simon set in post-Katrina New Orleans could be this much fun; yes, there are characters searching for missing relatives and piecing together broken lives, but there’s actual humor and awesome jazz here, too

A new site called MovieClips launched this week, and it is, no surprise, a database of movie clips, all of which are licensed and embeddable; plus, you can tailor them to start and stop at whatever point you’d like (see below). Movieline found the site a little lacking — there are no clips from Titanic or Jurassic Park or North by Northwest , for instance — but perhaps you will not.

Although this song already had a video — released in 2008, it has nearly a million hits — Florence Welch deemed it too ” cheap ,” and so she made another. Fancy! This one’s got a kooky medieval elfin-girl-group vibe, with sexy Frankenstein babes on backup. It remains a great song.

When we caught up with author Paul Auster at the Wooster (Support) Group’s first benefit art auction this week at the Sean Kelly Gallery, we wondered if he had ever been approached to write something outside of his typical genre: “Yeah. For some reason photographers ask me to write prefaces to their books all the time,” he told us, while standing in a gallery space that was full of photographers and artists.

The weather wasn’t the only thing raging this week: The wild world of infotainment was a veritable sturm und drang of mindless celebrity banter and awkward statements. Vulture scoured the usual suspects — Entertainment Tonight , TMZ , Access Hollywood , etc. — to find this week’s gems, like Richard Simmons singing outside a restaurant in L.A., a tour of the “Tickle-me-Congressman”‘s townhouse, and lots and lots of sexy sex! And for good measure, ogle over the unbearable cuteness that is Levi McConaughey!

Lil Wayne’s nine days into his sentence at Rikers, but just ’cause he’s locked down doesn’t mean he can’t still be getting into trouble with the law: A Superior Court Judge in Yuma, Arizona, has issued a bench warrant for his arrest after Wayne missed a court hearing (you know, on account of that whole being in jail in another state thing). The proceeding is related to a 2008 arrest at a border checkpoint near Yuma, where Wayne was found with cocaine, Ecstasy, and a handgun, and later charged with possession of a narcotic drug for sale, possession of dangerous drugs, misconduct involving weapons, and possession of drug paraphernalia (whew!)

Get excited, Armond White fans! The New York Press critic gives us more than our money’s worth today in a much-anticipated review of Noah Baumbach’s Greenberg that also takes aim at 42West publicist Leslee Dart (who rescinded White’s invitation to a screening of the movie last week) and the Village Voice ‘s J. Hoberman, who last Wednesday dug up the 1998 review of Baumbach’s Mr

Columbia’s plan to reboot Ghostbusters is being haunted by a Mike Ovitz–orchestrated deal made in the early eighties on behalf of the series’ original director-producer, Ivan Reitman. The studio’s strategy is to revitalize the franchise for next year by having the original ‘busters train a dramatically younger crew in Ghostbusters III , while a correspondingly younger director handles things behind the camera
