I have been watching holiday movies all weekend. For whatever reason, they all seem to be exactly the same. I have probably seen at least a dozen adaptations of the Charles Dickens novel “Christmas Carol”. Of course, there are lots of variations with pop stars & tuxedos. I don’t know who exactly goes “We should make a Christmas movie like all the other Christmas movies.” I guess what that means is that there are a lot of Scrooges out there who need wake up calls & I’m probably one of them.

Ok, any minute now I will stop posting about tonight’s episode of The Hills. Hopefully, shortly after that I will stop hyperventilating. There were just so many plot lines in such a short period of time. I’m watching Heidi’s sister Holly on the Hills Aftershow. Holly just seems like a good down to earth person. Finally, someone on The Hills with some sense. If the other girls listened to Holly they would learn:

1. Be supportive. Holly wasn’t even aware that her sister got married last weekend. However, she says that it’s up to Heidi.

2. Spencer has been so rude to Holly & she still won’t insult him. Holly has grace & style.

What I don’t understand about Holly is that she lives in Hollywood. I would be fixing the ac compressor in my car & getting out of there as fast as I can. Hopefully, she will stick around & drive some common sense into everyone else.

It started off as a silly rumor, made by some insignificant never before heard of man named Dino. It ended with Audrina & Lauren yelling at each other & basically calling off their friendship. Last week on The Hills they were best friends. They have survived Audrina visiting with Heidi. They have survived Lauren hating Audrina’s boyfriend. The most insane rumor in the world tore them apart. I think this teaches some very important lessons:

1. Take a minute to cool off when you first hear a rumor. It’s tempting to just think it’s true but basic logic should prevail.

2. If you are accused of something, set it straight. Try not to be offended that the other person thinks that such an absurdity could be possible. Did Lauren & Justin Bobby hook up? No. You just have to say it out loud to know it isn’t true. However, Lauren could have been more patient with Audrina instead of immediately taking offense. After all, Lauren accused Heidi of spreading rumors which is why they are still fighting all these years.

Don’t listen to rumors, don’t listen to Dino.
