Even More "Hills" News

I got my two contributor copies of Barrelhouse today, which was very exciting. Even though I've known my essay was being published for awhile, it's still a great feeling to see it there in print, with all the other incredible stuff in this issue. Did I mention its for sale here? And maybe at your local newsstand, if you live in certain select places that value quality periodicals.

(See. I'm serious about this Hills business.)

My mole among the teenagers (thanks, Sarah!) tells me that word on the street has it that Lauren Conrad now makes $70,000 per episode with "Speidy," the Spencer-Heidi combo, bringing in a reported $65,000. Audrina makes somewhere in the $25,000 per episode range, while poor Lo somehow survives on $10,000 per show.

Further proving my point about Lauren's career ambitions, the boutique Ketson dropped her clothing line, citing "complaints of poor sales and a lack of promotional work from the star."

You know, if I had a job where I made about a million dollars a year to drink cocktails and flirt, I'd probably be stoked to be a stylist, too.

Tomorrow, I'll write about something other than "The Hills." I promise.

I finally had a chance last night to watch the first episode of this season...can't wait to see what you'll write next. Will issue 6 of Barrelhouse be available online?

I don't think it will be available to read online. I think they actually do a separate online edition, which will have runners-up for the competition I won in it. I'm eager to check that out.
