The Hills Phenomenon
As I walked through the airport this weekend I saw the cast of The Hills on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and as I thumbed through the magazine, it dawned on me that The Hills has become a freaking phenomenon. I mean when was the last time that a cast of a reality TV landed a cover of Rolling Stone it ‘s crazy. Along with the Rolling Stone cover Lauren and Heidi were the cover of US Weekly last week. In all honestly it seems to me that someone from The Hills is on the cover of US Weekly at least once a month. From People to blogger Perezhilton to Access Hollywood these girls have become a staple in Hollywood reporting on them. Never in reality history has this kind of pandemonium been reached. Yes shows like Survivor and Big Brother are big hits but even during the season you rarely hear about the casts, much less when the show is on hiatus.
Besides the coverage of the show there is the day-to-day conversation about The Hills. I actually had a conversation with my friend Courtney last week about how ridiculously fake the show is, yet how much we love it and love to talk about it. This conversation went on for about 20 min, and then we switched to discussing the finale and Aftershow. All in all I would say we spent a good 45 minutes discussing the show. And I am betting that I am not the only person out there who has had conversations like this.I guess what is all comes down to is, people love the show, it’s cast and all the drama that comes with The Hills. Me personally I am just fascinated by the fact that these girls live the lives they do at such a young age. Yeah I admit I vicariously live out my I want to be young, beautiful and famous dream through these girls. Sad, but true.
I would like to say to the non Hills viewers, you should really check it out. Oh and I promise not to over blog about The Hills, I understand that while it is my obsession, it may not be everyones.
Alright so who agrees with me, The Hills is a phenomenon right?

[...] my friend Becca about it when the last cover came out a few weeks ago. As I posted last week in my The Hills Phenomenon blog the show is well a phenomenon but I believe with all the recent covers it is reaching the point [...]
