Lo Bosworth: The Lo Down Launch At LAVO

Lauren 'Lo' Bosworth arrived to celebrate the launch of her new website TheLoDown.com at the Lavo Restaurant & Nightclub at The Palazzo on September 3, 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada.  She was wearing the Dance Daisy Dress by French Connection ($158), shoes by Miss Sarah and a Chanel purse. Also pictured, Scott Hochstadt, Stephanie Pratt, and LMFAO's Redfoo.









Stephanie Pratt Still Hasn't Spoken To Spencer

Stephanie Pratt says the disconnect between herself and her love-him-or-hate-him brother Spencer Pratt is brutal reality. In fact, the two simply don't speak.

"In September it will be a year [since we've spoken]," she said Friday at the two- year anniversary party of Palazzo Las Vegas's Lavo. "It's getting more normal and more normal."

Though she says she'll be there for Spencer whenever the time comes to talk, Stephanie, 24, doesn't appear to be itching to dial his number, saying it's "his choice" that the two don't communicate.

Though Spencer is currently in the middle of a divorce from Heidi Montag, the personal drama is not likely to change Stephanie's relationship with the former villain of The Hills – yet.

"When he's ready to come around, I'm going to greet him with open arms," she says. "I love him more than anything in the world. He's my blood."

Kim Kardashian: LAVO Party Girl

Starting the weekend with a night on the red carpet, Kim Kardashian attended the LAVO two-year anniversary party in Las Vegas, Nevada on Friday (August 13).


Joined at The Palazzo Resort & Casino event by her PR pal Jonathan Cheban, the E! reality star looked stunning as she passed through the arrivals area before joining DJ Vice in the deejay booth.


Was The Hills Ever Really In The Hills?

During a segment of the season finale of The Hills, the producers showed us a shot of a pool from high above, then zoomed in to Heidi and Audrina by the side of the pool, with the label "Hillside Villas, West Hollywood, CA". Why is this a big deal? Well, for all of our genius we never thought of using the satellite photos of the apartments in question and look at the actual pictures to the talking. Thanks to the beauty of Google Earth, we were able to take these pictures with no trouble at all.

First, let's take a look at the picture that the producers call "Hillside Villas". Notice the shape of the pool.


Now, let's take a look at the shape of the actual Hillside Villas ( 34° 5'35.09"N, 118°22'53.39"W if you want to use Google Earth or check for yourself on another map).

Clearly, the pool at the Hillside Villas and the pool Audrina and Heidi are lounging by are not the same, because there is no curve. And the rooftops? I don't call that a match.

So, where are Audrina and Heidi sunning themselves? Let's take a look at the wide overhead shot the producers used right before showing the two girls at the "Hillside Villas". OK, clearly that pool looks to be the same, but there is no way that pool can be the actual Hillside Villas from above.

OK, now let's take a look at what we have said is Lauren's real apartment, the Palazzo ( 34° 3'55.62"N, 118°20'55.43"W for those of you scoring at home):

Jackpot! The rooftops are the same, pool is the same, and you can even see the lounge chairs and the cabana tents in this picture. That, my friends, is the Palazzo, at the corner of Sixth and Burnside in Los Angeles. Obviously, it's not a big deal that these kids don't live where they say they live, because it doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the show, and let's face it, calling a television show "Beverly Hills Adjacent" does not have the same kind of appeal. However, if they want to call their program "The Hills", the producers should at least get the girls a place actually in The Hollywood Hills. TVgasm can help them pick out a place and we'll even waive the commission!

When I did some reasearch of my own however, I found that she lived at The Villas at Park La Brea. The Palazzo has two different locations, Palazzo East and Palazzo West, neither of which have a curvy pool like the one shown on The Hills as you can see on their websites. The address of 5555 West 6th Street aka "the corner of Sixth and Burnside" is home to The Villas, not the Palazzo.

So as far as the pictures go, the ones marked with Hillside Villas are actually The Palazzo, and the one marked with The Palazzo is actually The Villas at Park La Brea. I do believe that there are no "Hillside Villas." If you know otherwise, feel free to correct me!
