Why Does MTV Think They Can Pull One Over On Us?

Why does MTV even bother anymore? Fashionista found out the other day that Whitney Port might not really work at the place that The City takes place.
“Well, she just goes into the office to shoot scenes like she works there, like what they did on The Hills. Actually, it’s kind of sad. When they film her spots, they make the girls that actually work there move from their desks and into some cubicles in another part of the floor, because they’re actually working, but the camera people want Whitney and her on-screen work friend to look like they have real desks.â€
So why do they keep it up? I have heard people say it’s like wrestling…we all know those story lines are fake yet we keep watching (Psst…Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are married and have kids!!)Â Defamer made a great list of the cast’s fake and real jobs…
LAUREN CONRAD
Show Storyline: According to the show, Lauren is a student at FIDM. She began the show with a long internship at Teen Vogue, then moved to a job at frightening PR firm People’s Revolution.
Unshown, Real-Life Storyline: Lauren is a fashion designer who has shown at the last two LA Fashion Weeks. The show persists in insisting that she is still just a student at FIDM, despite the fact that FIDM students tell Defamer that she only sets foot on campus to film scenes for The Hills. Paparazzi, who follow Lauren relentlessly, never photograph her at the school she supposedly goes to. She has also inked a terrible deal to attempt sentences longer than three words as a young adult writer.
AUDRINA PATRIDGE
Show Storyline: Audrina worked at Quixote Studios as a blank-eyed receptionist before transferring to a job at Epic Records, where she annoys fellow coworker Chiara with boring stories about fake on/off boyfriend Justin Bobby.
Unshown, Real-Life Storyline: Audrina has leveraged brand-new breasts into an acting career, appearing in films like Into the Blue 2: The Reef and Sorority Row. If you call Epic to do business with Audrina, you will be informed, “I’m sorry, she isn’t here,” because she doesn’t actually work there.
WHITNEY PORT
Show Storyline: Like Lauren, Whitney started her career at Teen Vogue before moving to People’s Revolution. Now, she has moved to New York for spinoff show The City, where she is working for Diane Von Furstenberg.
Unshown, Real-Life Storyline: Except she, too, doesn’t actually work there. Again, like Lauren, Whitney has started her own off-camera clothing line, Eve & A. Also, despite the MTV-engineered romance she will have in her upcoming show, Whitney has been dating film critic Ben Lyons, not rocker Jay Lyon.
HEIDI MONTAG
Show Storyline: Heidi managed to fail upward in a job with Bolthouse Productions, until she was fake-fired this season. Reports suggest, though, that she will return to her job in some capacity.
Unshown, Real-Life Storyline: Even Heidi’s consummate fakery couldn’t sell the idea that she ever truly worked at Bolthouse. The real Heidi is a beloved recording artist.
This is seriously crazy…why not come out with it already? But really are we shocked with this anymore? I am…I thought The Hills was real. I will just go cry in the corner.
