Vegas -- the home of quickie marriages, legal prostitution and Britney Spears's disastrous VMA performance. But last night, it was also the backdrop of The Hills.
Lauren, Audrina, Jill and Lo went to the casino capitol of the world to surprise L.C.'s friend Brody Jenner for his 24th birthday. Oh yeah, and Audrina brought her weirdo boyfriend Justin, who was seriously in need of a haircut and shave. Honestly, the dude looked so much like L.C.'s rumored hookup Cisco Adler, it was incredible.
While in Vegas, sparks flew between L.C. and Brody, and the two ended up playfully kissing at a club. All of their friends confronted them about not being together, but both sides swore they were... wait for it... just friends. And they said that the one time they hooked up, all they did was fight. Sounds like a rational reason to me not to get back together, but later in the episode the pair was all about the cuddling. I like them together, but I can't decide if I think Brody is a hottie. Sometimes I think his facial features are too big for him, and other times I'm drooling.
Do you know which TV stars can't enough of The Office? Or what classics Gossip Girl's Blake Lively keeps on her favorites list? We asked some of the biggest stars of fall TV to share their most beloved TV show of all time. Check out what they had to say in our new slide show.
Then, share your own favorite show below. I'll start: Sex and the City -- hands down.
I already know you're super excited about tonight's premieres of Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy (starting at 8pm (ET), so I'm taking those out of the running for what I'm going to watch tonight. Clearly, they're already DVRed. And don't worry, recappers Shanna and Joanna will be delivering a full report tomorrow morning.
So, let the games begin. Here's tonight's lineup...
At 8pm (ET): Smallville on the CW and My Name Is Earl on NBC
At 9pm (ET): The Office on NBC and CSI on CBS
At 10pm (ET): New show Big Shots on ABC, Without a Trace on CBS and the 14th season premiere of ER on NBC
*Note: I've seen the pilot of Big Shots, and it's awesome -- just like Sex and the City, but with boys... not that I'm trying to influence your decision!
Cast your vote for which show I should watch and report back on.
Once again, there are so many show premieres on tonight that I pretty much need more than one DVR box. Check out what's on tap, and vote for which show you want me to watch tonight and report back on. (FYI, Sarah Mac will be back as your House recapper this season -- everyone say, "Hi, Sarah Mac!")
Starting at 8pm (ET), tune in for the premiere of either NCIS on CBS or Bones on Fox.
At 9pm (ET), we'll have to choose between House on Fox, The Unit on CBS and Reaper on the CW. At 9:30, ABC has the fifth season premiere of Boston Legal.
Then at 10pm (ET), we come head-to-head with a tough choice. We can either tune in for CBS's new sexy drama, Cane, or go with the oldie-but-always-a-goodie Law & Order: SVU. Yikes... help me decide!
I have to admit, I haven't been the biggest Heroes fan ever. I kept tuning in last season, only to change the channel after about 15 minutes. But since you all said you were excited about last night's premiere, I watch it, as promised. And you know what? I loved it.
For all of you Heroes virgins out there, I highly recommend watching this season. It's entertaining, even if you don't know the full back story.
For you Heroes fanatics, what did you think of last night's show? Were you surprised by any of the story lines? How long do you think "Claire" will be able to stay ordinary for?
Uh-oh! Have all the Disney stars gone wild? Rumors circulated this weekend that 14-year-old Hannah Montana's Miley Cyrus was pregnant! Can you imagine? That would've knocked High School Musical's Vanessa Hudgens (and her naked pictures) right off her scandalous teen queen throne.
Don't get too excited, yet. Teen mag J-14, which reportedly broke Miley's pregnancy news, is saying it's completely false and that someone with mad PhotoShop skills created a page that looked like a J-14 mockup with the following story about Miley:
"I'm going to take good care of my baby. I've already gained 7 pounds. I was in real shock when it happened accidentally. I went a little too far. I'm sorry to all of my fans."
Darn. Just when I thought things were about to get really interesting.
It's a good thing my gym has individual TVs on every treadmill because there is no way I'm missing tonight's hottest premieres. In the 8pm (ET) hour, you'll have to decide between new comedy Chuck on NBC and the fifth season premiere of Dancing with the Stars on ABC (with Jennie Garth!). Oh yeah, and at 8:30pm (ET), The Big Bang Theory airs on CBS.
Then at 9pm (ET), Heroes returns on NBC, and the sixth season of CSI: Miami returns to CBS. But our night's not over, yet. ABC has season 11 of The Bachelor at 10pm (ET), and NBC is premiering Journeyman.
So tell me, what are we watching tonight? My girls Kristen and Allie will be recapping The Bachelor and Dancing with the Stars, so feel free to vote for something new, and we'll discuss it tomorrow.
Calling all Heroes fans! Can't wait until the premiere next week? We've got a sneak peek of the first episode of season two right here. Plus: Heroes star Hayden Panettiere threatened to kill someone. Find out who and why at the Daily Blabber blog.
Are you pumped for the return of Heroes?
Did you watch the Gossip Girl premiere last night??? Are you hooked on Serena van der Woodsen and her ex-BFF Blair Waldorf yet? Do you think the show really does have the potential to be this year's O.C.? Tell me what you thought below. I'm dying to talk about it!
P.S. Love Penn Badgley who plays Dan Humphrey -- so cute!
I have to tell you, I am SO excited about the premiere of Gossip Girl tonight. This show is absolutely going to be the next O.C. Trust me, you do not want to miss it. But I want to know which premiere you're psyched about seeing tonight -- and man, there are a bunch! This is going to be one tough call.
Besides the Gossip Girl premiere that's on the CW at 9pm (ET), there's the heavily controversial Kid Nation airing at 8pm (ET) on CBS, the new Kelsey Grammar sitcom Back to You on Fox at the same time, followed by Kitchen Nightmares at 9pm (ET), and of course, America's Next Top Model at 8pm (ET) on the CW.
So kids, what are we watching tonight?
When reality shows get beyond the third season or so, they tend to need a twist to keep viewers engaged. Think about it: The Bachelor added The Bachelorette. Donald Trump took The Apprentice to L.A., etc...
So, it didn't really surprise me when last night's Beauty and the Geek announced a surprise (which they teased in true reality TV form for more than half of the two-hour premiere). The "beauty" and "geek" with the lowest scores during the first challenge got to pick the rest of the two-person teams. Brilliant! That totally changes the game.
Did you watch the Beauty and the Geek premiere? What did you think of the twist? Who is your favorite geek?
Stay tuned for today's big TV premiere faceoff, where you get to vote on which show you're most excited about seeing tonight.
No, I'm not leaving you hanging, but there's only one new show premiering tonight, so voting on which one to watch seems a little silly, lol. I'm tuning in for the season four premiere of Ashton Kutcher's Beauty and the Geek at 8pm (ET) on the CW. Check it out, and we'll talk about it tomorrow.
Geeks 4EVR!
You guys voted yesterday that I should watch the premiere of Prison Break over new show K-Ville. So, since you asked for it, here's my opinion of last night's show.
I read somewhere that this season of Prison Break was going to be so gruesome that it would make the past two seasons look like a luxury vacation. Whoever wrote that was 100-percent right. In case you forgot, when we last saw Michael Scofield, he had been thrown into Sona prison (or hellhole with out rules, guards or escape) in Panama -- along with Agent Mahone, T-Bag and Bellick.
In last night's episode alone, three men died. Bellick was running around in his underwear and looked like he was ready to kill himself, and Scofield was told he'd have to stay in the prison for at least a week and help another prisoner breakout, or Dr. Sara Tancredi and Michael's brother Lincoln's son, L.J., would be killed.
Usually, I'm a devout PB fan, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to watch this season. The barbaric nature of last night's show and gory deaths of the inmates was a little much for my taste on a Monday night while I was eating dinner.
Tell me what you thought of the premiere? Will the Prison Break producers make this season work? Can you believe Sona Prison is actually based off a real place -- the Carandiru Prison in Brazil? Should I watch K-Ville next week, instead? Talk to me.
The Desperate Housewives are popping up everywhere lately! Check out these random tidbits of DH trivia:
1. Diva Eva Longoria hates kissing scenes. Apparently the only lips she wants to lick these days are her husband Tony Parker's.
2. David Beckham has no plans to appear as a gay guest star this season. Or so he says.
3. Emmy nominee Felicity Huffman isn't afraid to wear glasses in front of the camera. Here she is at the Platinum Guild International USA Party. Don't worry, Felicity, I won't start calling you four-eyes.
4. Teri Hatcher watches So You Think You Can Dance
5. Marcia Cross likes to party with Justin Timberlake's current squeeze Jessica Biel
Yay! One of our favorite bloggers -- and Today show host -- Meredith Vieira is returning to The View. No, she's not replacing new cohosts Sherri Shepherd or Whoopi Goldberg already, but she is going to make a guest appearance on October 8. Marking my calendar now...
Her return will be the first time she's joined The View gals since she left the show in 2006 to cohost Today. Because she's such a fabulous multitasker, she also hosts the game show Who Wants to be a Millionaire? and will be promoting some kind of video game version of the game show.
If Barbara Walters really wanted to shake things up, she should invite Star Jones and Rosie O'Donnell back, too. And hey, while she's at it, why not tack on a segment or two with Donald Trump? Kidding.
First comes love... then comes marriage... then comes the baby in the baby carriage. Weeeeeeell, maybe, maybe not.
When Jodie Sweetin (who played Stephanie on Full House) got married seemingly out-of-the-blue at the end of July, I was a tad bit suspicious. Turns out I might have had a reason to be. TMZ.com has announced (well, the couple sent the Site the sonogram pic) that everyone's favorite middle child (besides Jan Brady, of course) is expecting a baby-to-be.
Most with-bump stars don't announce their pregnancy until they're at least three months along. Now, I know I'm a journalist here, and I usually the sight of numbers makes me cringe, but let's do some basic math on our fingers. July to August... August to September... Oh wait, it's been less than eight weeks since the wedding.
Just saying.
Congrats to the couple.
OMG. What is The Hills' Lauren Conrad doing?? After reportedly sucking face with Cisco Adler on Saturday night, she went on to lock lips hold hands with Paris Hilton's pre-jail boy toy Josh Henderson on Sunday after the VMAs. Nasty.
I can't imagine hooking up with either of the slimeballs (by the way, do you remember when Josh dated Ashlee Simpson?) but if you had to choose, would you rather swap spit with Josh Henderson or Cisco Adler. Keep in mind, one has most likely slept with Paris, and the other used to be engaged to Kimberly Stewart.
Weigh in below...

To gear up for next week's big Primtime Emmy Awards show on Sunday night, here's a little taste from the "Creative Arts Emmy Awards" that were held Saturday night. Bum deal to have to go on the weekend as the VMAs, huh?
While Justin Timberlake was off winning his Quadruple Threat Moonman in Vegas, he and Saturday Night Live funnyman Andy Samberg were being awarded an Emmy for most Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for their hit "Di*k in a Box."
For a complete list of winners, check out Emmys.org.
But first, don't miss more hot pics from part one of the Emmys below, including America Ferrera, Jennifer Morrison (without ex-fiance Jesse Spencer), Kathy Griffin and more.
Since I know you guys love your Taylor Hicks, I made sure to download the most recent pic of him and his gal pal Caroline Lyders out and about in SoHo this weekend.
Are you still digging the Soul Patrol? Or has that ship sailed?
Say it isn't so! The Hills' Lauren Conrad is reportedly hooking up with Mischa Barton-castoff Cisco Adler. The two were spotted swapping spit at Christina Aguilera's VMA party on Saturday night.
Someone please tell me what it is that girls see in this guy. I used to think it was something about seeing him in person -- that maybe he gave off some sort of sexy vibe, but I ran into a few weeks ago in NYC, and he was anything but sexy. I was dancing maybe a foot-and-a-half away from him, and he was every bit as grungy as he looks in pictures. It didn't help that he had some seemingly wasted and unknown blonde chick wrapped around his lap.
My advice for L.C.: Run, run, run! You do not Kimberly Stewart and Mischa's leftovers. Gross. And when you're done running, do yourself a favor and wash your mouth out with a prescription-strength dose of Listerine.
Would you date this guy?
What is it with starlets thinking that it's ever okay to be photographed with their clothes off? I don't get it! They know they're going to wind up on the Web. The latest casualty of this never-ending trend? None other than Vanessa Hudgens of High Musical fame. It's a Disney movie for crying out loud. She should know better! Does she want to end up like Paris Hilton? I certainly hope not.
Once the pictures were released, Vanessa's camp did some major damage control, with her releasing the following statement to TMZ.com:
"This was a photo which was taken privately. It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public."
No, Vanessa, what's unfortunate is that you chose to take the picture in the first place. And what's even more unfortunate is that your pretend man-candy/costar Zac Efron will probably have to find a new costar to pretend to date, since you're going to hurt his "It" boy status with this bad-girl rep.
Weigh in on Vanessa's lapse of judgement below. I know you want to.
