Changes Rocking The Hills Threaten to Shatter Reality/Un-Reality Continum
In news that has rocked fake-Hollywood, Audrina Patridge announced today she is leaving MTV's quasi-reality show The Hills sending industry analysts into coma-like stupors attempting to figure out what this means, or if it means anything.
Or if by not meaning anything that means something. Or if the lack of meaning says something that is in itself meaningful in a way that's more real than things that actually mean something...
'Twas a time when being famous for nothing meant something, but today it's a mere stepping stone — to being famous for nothing in a different way. Patridge told US Magazine that she will be leaving to focus on her acting career. She said at a junket for her upcoming film Sorority Row, "I moved to Los Angeles to be an actress, and before I got onto The Hills, I was going to auditions and castings and working full-time at [film studios] Quixote Studios and Smashbox."
Actually, mock if you will but, the last laugh may well be on Audrina. We hate to get prematurely excited but Sorority Row looks like it might just be the best film of a thus-far dismal 2009. Judging from the trailer, Row tells the story of a slain-Audrina, killed as the result of a sorority house prank, who comes back from the dead to wreak vengeance on her former sisterhood.
Well, it only took 80-some years of moviemaking to figure out that what audiences want to see is a zombie version of Audrina from The Hills going on a killing spree in the greek system, but finally Hollywood put it all together. Hats off to Hollywood. Looking forward to Sorority Rows 8 through 15. And congratulations to Audrina for taking entertainment to a higher ground than The Hills could climb.
