Whitney Port and Ben Nemtin: Heating Up!

Thursday, April 1st, 2010


Whitney Port and Ben Nemtin are heating up Chicago. That's right, the WINDY City!

The relationship made in MTV heaven, pairing up The City and The Buried Life stars, began earlier this year when they started "hanging out," and has gotten serious.

Nemtin recently helped Port celebrate her 25th birthday during an intimate bash at the Los Angeles restaurant Cecconi's. Things only got more romantic from there.

When Ben Nemtin needed to be in Chicago last week to film The Oprah Winfrey Show for an episode scheduled to air April 9, Whitney joined him in the Windy City.

Not that it was all business.

MTV HOTTIES: Whitney Port and Ben Nemtin.

The new couple kicked back at the Chicago hotspot The Underground on Saturday night. In between sips of Patron, Port chatted up and planted kisses on her guy.

Also on hand? The Bachelorette star Jillian Harris and fiancee Ed Swiderski chatting with club owner Billy Dec. But back to Port and Nemtin. Says a club source:

"They were definitely flirty and affectionate all night."

Here's hoping they stay that way - what a cute pair!

Whitney Port Sued Over Fashion Line

Friday, March 26th, 2010


Whitney Port’s design career is taking off in stores, on the runway, and on MTV's The City. Looks like our girl's a rising star in the celebrity fashion world. Right?

Well, she's officially hit a snag in the form of a lawsuit just filed by designer Adrienne Baravetto, who claims she helped Whitney Port design and launch her line.

In 2007, Baravetto alleges she had an oral agreement with Port and her father, Jeff, including a $80,000 yearly salary plus a 25 percent stake in the company.

Baravetto also alleges that she did virtually all the design work and that the Ports haven’t paid her a dime. Pretty shady if so. But is this claim even legitimate?

Port’s lawyer Michael A. Taitelman said the following:

A Whitney Eve Picture

Did Whitney Port cut out a former design collaborator?

“The lawsuit that Adrienne Baravetto filed against Whitney Eve, Inc., Whitney Port and others regarding the Whitney Eve clothing line is baseless and without merit. Whitney Port is, and always has been, the designer of Whitney Eve."

"Baravetto worked for Whitney Eve for a short period of time ending in early 2008. For more than two years, she has been silent. For reasons that we will uncover, she has decided to make these unsubstantiated allegations at this time."

"The defendants will vigorously defend themselves, and upon the successful conclusion of this lawsuit, intend to hold Baravetto and her counsel accountable.”

Sounds confident. Counters Baravetto’s attorney Peter Maretz, “Ms. Baravetto did the heavy lifting for these designs and she just wants to get paid fairly.”

Whitney Port: Dating Ben Nemtin!

Thursday, February 18th, 2010


Whitney Port hasn't been lucky in love since moving from The Hills to The City (and thus LA to NYC). First there was Jay Lyon. Then Freddie Fackelmayer.

Tools. Particularly the latter.

Well, if recent rumors are true, things might finally be looking up. Whitney Port has a new love interest and he's the star of an MTV reality show as well!

It's The Situation!

Kidding.

Seriously, she and Ben Nemtin of The Buried Life are dating. "I've kind of been hanging out with Whitney when I am in New York," he told Ryan Seacrest.

Ben Nemtin PictureWhit Port Pic

Ben Nemtin is the new boyfriend of Whitney Port. Unless this is just a PR stunt for The Buried Life, which would totally not surprise us even a little. That said, cute couple!

Asked him whether the two were dating, Ben responded that they had just met and once again added that they hung out whenever he was in New York.

Sources say they are hanging out as more than friends, though, and Whitney Port certainly has been tweeting a lot about The Buried Life these days.

Makes you think!

"If U love dancing as much as I do watch @theburiedlife compete in a krump competition on mtv U guys better teach me your moves," Whitney wrote.

Sounds like confirmation to us! You better be good to our girl Ben Nemtin. You better be on The City, too, since MTV already has you under contract.

Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port: No Plastic Surgery For Us, Thanks!

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010


Many celebrities resort to plastic surgery to enhance their looks.

Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port, alumni of The Hills, are not among them, as both are committed to staying beautiful naturally. This interview with them is from late last year, but is still topical in light of the recent Heidi Montag plastic surgery debacle.

“I think it’s a personal thing,” Whitney, now star of The City, tells me. “They feel like it’s necessary and it’s going to make them feel more confident."

If that's what they believe, "then more power to them," she adds.

Lauren Conrad says the need for plastic surgery stems from fame.

Whitney Port, Lauren Conrad Photo

Whitney Port and Lauren Conrad are all-natural (and all-cute)!

“It’s hard because you’re in that position where you’re being criticized for everything,” LC, whose novel L.A. Candy is getting the silver screen treatment.

“Do you ignore it, and try to be beautiful on your own and be happy with the way you look? or do you listen to the criticism. They put them on this platform, and they tear them apart and then they criticize them even more for changing themselves."

"I think you just try and be confident with the way you are.”

Although Whitney Port and Lauren Conrad don’t admit to enhancing their looks through surgery, that doesn't mean they don't make the best of their natural features.

Whitney says that among her go-to beauty products are Fresh Black Tea eye cream, and she also wears Trish McEvoy #3 perfume, Snowdrop and Crystal Flowers.

LC, who says her eyes look “round and boyish,” swears by Mark’s Get In Line liquid eyeliner. For scents, “I wear 15 different perfumes. Anything with a gardenia.”

Whitney Port laughs, “Oh, so does my mom.”

Whitney Port Speaks on Whitney Eve Fashion Line

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009


Whitney Eve, a new fashion line from Whitney Port of The City fame, hits boutiques January 30 and features everything from sharply tailored blazers and breezy rainbow-hued blouses to glittery cocktail dresses with sky-high hemlines.

Here's what Whitney told Women's Wear Daily about her line ...

WWD: How does New York differ from L.A. in terms of fashion?

Whitney Port: I think New York fashion is a lot more sophisticated, more forward-thinking. People are more willing to take chances here. People take more pride in clothing they wear and obviously they have to dress for the elements.

WWD: Do you ever see yourself venturing into accessories?

Whitney Port: I would it but I don't know how talented I'd be.

Whitney Eve PhotoWhitney Eve Pic

Whitney Eve with Love: Port is ready for her big break.

WWD: You're at People's Revolution five days a week, as we see on The City. How do you have time to work on your own fashion line?

Whitney Port: Actually, I'm in and out of there. I have a design space in there and then I also have my apartment. Kelly [Cutrone] told me, 'This is your passion project, so you do whatever you have to do to get this done'. This is my first priority.

WWD: Other Hills veterans haven't had as much fashion success as they'd hoped. Heidi Montag's line closed quickly after and Lauren Conrad decided to bring hers to Kohl's after not weathering well in the high-end market. Does that concern you?

Whitney Port: I put myself in a different sort of realm as them. Obviously, it's scary. I think it's really hard to break out right now since the fashion industry is struggling. I mean, people don't want to spend their money on clothes right now.

You're always worried about people not understanding your point of view, not being able to get it. But I think my biggest competition is myself.

The City Season Finale Recap: “Everything on the Line”

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009


On The City season finale last night, Whitney Port put it all on the (clothing) line, while Erin Kaplan told her boss at Elle that it's gonna be her or Olivia Palermo.

Below, The Hollywood Gossip staff breaks down the events on last night's episode, awarding and deducting points as we deem appropriate. Let's get to it ...

OMG Whitney Port looks so summery and cute, we can hardly stand it. Plus 2.

Erin is on the kill-Olivia warpath from the get-go. This could be good. Plus 3.

Kelly Cutrone on why Roxy shouldn't go to Whit's meeting: "Don't you think she should bring someone who knows what the f*%k they're doing?" Plus 16.

Olivia's handling of criticism: "I'm going to refrain from commenting." That's real professional. Minus 7, because as we said last week, she shouldn't have a job.

As Whitney panics about her presentation, dramatic music crescendos and the Bergdorf Goodman buyers roll up into the building like gangsters. Plus 5.

Whitney Rules

Whitney Port can do no wrong, even in failure.

Al Roker sighting on Today! Don't tell Spencer Pratt! Plus 3.

Olivia massively flakes, even for her, leaving Joe Zee high and dry. Minus 10, but Plus 2 because at least the Today peeps always refer to him as "Joe Zee."

MTV totally changed its absurd promo for Jersey Shore to hype up the hottest, tannest, craziest housemates instead of guidos! No points, it's just hilarious.

Whitney's presentation kind of bombs, but we're giving it a Plus 25 for the following reasons: 1. She handled it gracefully. 2. She didn't get preferential treatment, and shouldn't. 3. Kelly's stuck by her and wants to help launch a full line!

After Olivia's royal f*%k up, Erin has it out with her and Joe, telling her boss it's either her or Olivia. Right before the credits roll, Joe picks ... no one! A whole season of a boring, repetitive story line and no resolution! Wow, MTV. Minus 36.

TOTAL: +3. SEASON TOTAL: +5. While we'll always love Whitney, The City failed to deliver a classic (or any) confrontation to salvage the Olivia-Erin "drama."

Thus, the episode and season barely end in positive territory. Not a total waste, but should there even be a Season 3? If so, will it decide what it wants to be?

Whitney Port Talks “The City” Season 2 Finale

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

LOL News of the Day: Kristin Cavallari, Whitney Port Top Jon Gosselin’s “To Do” List

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009


Soon-to-be-divorced reality TV father of eight Jon Gosselin is single and ready to mingle get in the pants of some of the cutest blondes in Hollywood.

Too bad they'll probably have a say in it and turn down that kind offer, although hey, you never know. The Hills could use a little bit of a ratings boost.

According to Star, Jon's made a list, and there's no need to check it twice, because the girls he'd most like to bang are all sexy Hollywood staples.

"What he really wants is to hook up with Lindsay Lohan, Kristin Cavallari and Whitney Port," an insider says of Jon G.'s "hit list" of young starlets.

Class ActPort PicThe Bitch is Totally Back

MR. COOL: Jon Gosselin aspires to bed Hills stars past and present.

We'd imagine Port is out of his league, as she is not desperate. Kristin Cavallari, though? If she'll fake-date Justin-Bobby, Jon might have a chance.

Girl clearly has low standards and wants to be famous, after all.

“He’s like a kid in a candy store and going absolutely wild,” Jon's friend dishes. “Let's just say he definitely isn't on the prowl for another wife.”

And Jon's libido is never satisfied, another close friend of his dishes. "He’s even been with two girls on the same day - and it’s still not enough!”

Wait, Jon has hooked up with two chicks at the same time?

Unless their names were Hailey Glassman and Kate Major, we had no idea he pulled that off. And we really pity those girls, because come on.

Whitney Port: Voyeur Vixen

Friday, November 27th, 2009

The City Recap: “If You Want Something Done Right”

Thursday, November 26th, 2009


On The City last night, Whitney Port moved forward with her fashion line, no thanks to Roxy Olin, while useless Olivia Palermo flaked out yet again over at Elle.

Below, The Hollywood Gossip staff breaks down the events on last night's episode, awarding and deducting points as we deem appropriate. Let's get to it ...

Kelly Cutrone to Roxy, on the models she picked for Whitney's look book shoot: "The theme is fairy tale tea party, not gothic nightmare." Snap! Plus 3.

Instead of Creative Director, Joe Zee's job at Elle should be Pusher of Erin Kaplan's Buttons, because it seems like that's all he typically does. Minus 2.

Erin tells Olivia Palermo that she should stress a little more. Plus 3, because let's face it, she's right. Moron simply doesn't care about doing a good job.

Thanks to a stunt in which champagne is sprayed on everyone, Roxy does her best to sabotage her BFF's photo shoot. Who saw that coming? Minus 4.

Painful PalermoRoxy Rocks

How do Olivia Palermo and Roxy Olin still have jobs?!

Rox makes up for it by starting a cute food fight with Whitney afterward. Plus 5, because it's hard to totally dislike Roxy Olin, even if she's a terrible worker.

Olivia screws up Erin's TV shoot, again seemingly out of laziness. Here's what we don't get about this show. In this economy, and particularly in a cutthroat publishing environment, how has she not gotten fired like 14 times already? Minus 8.

Whitney's fashion photos come out looking awesome! Plus 6. Also, an additional Plus 3 for Kelly not beating around the bush when it comes to the work that Whitney Port needs to do to become a successful designer. She's like a real boss!

This is pretty much the same complaint we just made about Olivia, but we feel it bears repeating. Kelly confides in Whitney about Roxy, saying she doesn't know what to do about her ... as if she can't FIRE HER AT ANY GIVEN INSTANT. Minus 11.

TOTAL: -5. SEASON TOTAL: +2. The City didn't do a lot for us this week. Girls flaking out at jobs they were given solely because they're on an MTV reality show and clearly don't deserve in the first place is getting old. We heart Whitney, though.

Whitney Port: West Hollywood Hottie

Friday, November 20th, 2009

The City Recap: “Forget About Boys”

Thursday, November 19th, 2009


On The City this week, Whitney went on a blind date, Roxy's expectations of her new guy are not met, and Olivia impresses at a Brooklyn Decker photo shoot.

Below, The Hollywood Gossip staff breaks down the events on last night's episode of The Hills spinoff, awarding and deducting points as we deem appropriate ...

Roxy Olin imparts sage advice: Never leave food on the counter. Plus 1.

Whitney Port is going on a "full-on blind date." How can it truly be a blind date if he has to sign a waiver beforehand? She knows exactly who it is. Minus 2.

Blind date Patrick on his job description: "Basically I convince people to buy expensive clothes." Plus 4 for honesty, but Minus 2 for lame fashion acronyms.

Roxy and Zac seem like they could be a cute couple. For now. Plus 3.

Patrick encourages Whitney to "join forces" on the bill. We were getting a douche vibe, and this confirmed it. Why not just ask MTV to cover it, Pat? Minus 6.

Whitney, Olivia, Erin and Roxy

Olivia Palermo and Erin Kaplan's task for this week involves Brooklyn Decker pictures in Elle. Plus 5, because Brooklyn rules, and so does her husband A-Rodd.

Roxy to Whitney: "You have to come. I need you as my wing man." Poor Whitney. Always a wing man, never the It Girl. Not even on her own show. Minus 3.

Erin goes off on Olivia to Joe Zee about Olivia "expecting her hand to be held." It's almost as if she's calling out the network for giving Olivia the job. Plus 5.

Zac, despite being billed as "Roxy's date," rolls up in the club with a pack of hot girls. Kind of a d!ck move, but Minus 2 for Roxy unjustly berating him for it.

Plus 1 for the blatant Cobra Starship plug. 21st Century payola? Plus 2 more for the guy defending Olivia as "a babe" when Erin complains about her.

Roxy and Whitney annoyingly go on and on and on about their boring boy problems, but like last week, Kelly Cutrone berates their "quilting circle," so Even.

Man, Erin is gonna straight up murder Olivia soon. You can practically see the steam spilling out of her ears. Plus 2, because at least it'll be televised.

TOTAL: +8. SEASON TOTAL: +7. Annoying at times, but at least Kelly calls out Roxy and Whitney, and we can't wait to watch Erin absolutely snap.

Whitney Port Gets Pampered, Dishes Style Tips

Whitney Port: The Next Carrie Bradshaw?

Saturday, November 14th, 2009


Whitney Port appeared on the hit reality show The Hills, which followed a group of young women battling it out on the cut-throat career ladder in L.A.

Or at least it originally did, before it became about desperate girls fighting over loser Justin-Bobby. Anyway, Whitney later went on to star in The City.

Her spinoff has become compulsive viewing for fashionistas across the globe – and for many, it's the new guilty pleasure, even more than The Hills.

Below are excerpts from Whitney's Q&A with You magazine (UK) ...

Q: We watched you fall for and break up with Aussie musician Jay Lyon on The City. It can’t be much fun living out a relationship on camera.

Whitney Goes Glam

Whitney Port: The most embarrassing moment of my TV career came when I found out from a friend that my boyfriend was cheating on me. Whoever you are and however it happens, that is a humbling, horrible moment, but when cameras are on you, waiting for your reaction, you just feel pathetic and totally naive. And you wonder, did the producers know he was cheating? It gets very difficult to know who to trust.

Q: Who do you trust?

Whitney Port: I trust my gut feeling and my oldest friends. Producers are a different matter – you never know when they are trying to get a rise out of you.

Q: Could you be the new Carrie Bradshaw?

Whitney Port: I love Sex and the City, but I’m more of a Charlotte! However much MTV would love it, I am not going to go on a different date every night.

Q: Who would be your dream date?

Whitney Port: Ryan Gosling. I don’t really have a type, but I have a big crush on him.

Q: You’re in London now with your sister Jade – how does your family feel about you living your life on camera?

Whitney Port: Jade has loved being here with me. I’m the middle of five children and my parents have always been careful to make us equal. They are very grounded, so they’d say something if they didn’t think I was being myself.

Q: Favorite accessory?

Whitney Port: I have a beige vintage Chanel bag that I take everywhere with me.

Q: Favorite designer?

Whitney Port: Of all time? Valentino. His designs are so classic and beautiful.

Shopping Like a MadwomanTo Whit

Q: Beyonce or Taylor Swift?

Whitney Port: Beyonce.

Q: Yoga or the gym.

Whitney Port: Gym.

Q: Brad Pitt or George Clooney?

Whitney Port: Oh, Brad. George is way too old for me.

Q: Brad Pitt or Robert Pattinson?

Whitney Port: Still Brad Pitt.

Q: Team Jennifer or Angelina?

Whitney Port: Angelina, but we’re talking purely on a looks basis, right?

They’re always up for a good time, and last night (November 12) Lauren “Lo” Bosworth, Stephanie Pratt, and Whitney Port were spotted at the opening of the Undrest Pop Shop.

The current-and-former “Hills” stars looked lovely as they posed for the paparazzi outside the brand new Robertson Boulevard boutique.

The City Recap: “Friends and Foe-Workers”

Thursday, November 12th, 2009


On The City this week, Roxy Olin and Whitney Port went on a work trip to Miami, while Olivia and Erin traveled there as well for Elle. What an amazing coincidence!

Below, The Hollywood Gossip staff members break down events on the new episode of The Hills spinoff, awarding and deducting points as we deem appropriate ...

Plus 9 out of the gate for Kelly Cutrone b!tch slapping (figuratively) Roxy Olin in a meeting. "Why are you talking?!" HA. Kelly's the most real person on the show.

First obvious music tie-in of the night: "Fashion" by Lady Gaga. Poor. Minus 2.

Whitney seems (at least mostly) focused on work, while Roxy just wants to par-tay. Only Plus 2, though, because there's no way Roxy should even have a job.

Whit's pal Nick meets her out, only to leave with Roxy while Whitney's in the bathroom. Minus 3, because that's typical Roxy, and for the sad look on WP's face.

Erin, as usual, is looking to catch Olivia f*%king up. Plus 2, because so are we.

Whitney, Olivia, Erin and Roxy

We thought it was a joke, but MTV just advertised a new show called Jersey Shore. The voiceover: "MTV is taking you inside a shore house like you've never seen, full of the hottest, tannest, craziest Guidos." Yes, Guidos. Ones who "keep their hair high, their muscles juiced, and their fists pumping." LOL. Plus 12.

Back to the program. Whitney and Roxy argue about last night unprofessionally at Mara Hoffman's show. Minus 7 (slightly redeemed by Kelly's profane tirade at them).

Whitney Port holds her own with the fashion designers at least. We think. Plus 5.

No Freddie Fackelmayer this week, it appears. Mixed feelings on that topic. Even.

Brooklyn Decker hosted an after-party they went to? They should have made the entire episode out of that. Minus 3 because of the generic filler chosen to air instead.

Back in NYC, Kelly berates Roxy and Whitney: 1. For their lack of professionalism; 2. For Roxy's comment that she isn't nice enough; 3. For their high room service bill: "You owe me $100. Next time go to Taco Bell." BURN! Plus 8.

Olivia on working as a team with Erin: "I... I... I'd really much like that." Minus 7 for being a terrible liar. Who can't even pretend to take the high road for once?

TOTAL: +16. SEASON TOTAL: +9. The best episode so far pulls The City into positive territory for the first time this season. Seriously, someone had to call Roxy out, and at least the Erin-Olivia feud seems to be building toward an epic meltdown.

Whitney Port: Beverly Hills Beauty Session

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Spending time on the west coast as of late, Whitney Port was spotted out for a pampering session in Beverly Hills on Tuesday evening (November 10).

Whitney Port Talks Jealousy, Mistaken Identity

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Looking her usual stylish self, the reality TV beauty dropped into Milk and Hilary Rush - picking up a few bagfuls of purchases along the way.

The City Recap: “Weekend at Freddie’s”

Thursday, November 5th, 2009


This week on The City, the gang headed to the Hamptons for some fun in the sun. Unfortunately, Freddie Fackelmayer was there, but that create some good drama.

Below, The Hollywood Gossip staff breaks down all the events of the latest episode of The Hills spinoff, awarding and deducting points as many points we see fit ...

Whitney Port and Roxy Olin stripping down to bikinis in the middle of Central Park, acting like there's no one around? Really? Eh, we'll buy it, and like it! Plus 4.

Safe to say Freddie Fackelmeyer didn't become less of a tool since last week's episode. Minus 2 for his hilariously fake tennis banter and attempt to look casual.

Erin Kaplan and Olivia Palermo are doing a feature on bloggers. Sure, they're fashion-oriented, not celebrity gossip-oriented, but nice industry shout-out! Plus 3.

Whitney, Roxy and Samantha Swetra roll to the Hamptons as "Good Girls Go Bad" plays. They talk about ... good girls going bad. Plus 3 for the Cobra Starship and Leighton Meester song, but Minus 3 for obviousness, so Even.

Whitney, Olivia, Erin and Roxy

Olivia interviews some celebrity fashion bloggers and - here's a shocker - Erin doesn't think she does a good enough job. Seriously, the same plot every week? Minus 5.

Freddie Fackelmayer gets jealous when his 19-year-old brother Harry kind of flirts with Whitney. Lame, but we'll buy it, because Harry is much better looking. Plus 2.

Harry "lets it slip" (i.e. rats out) that Freddie has a girlfriend! Gasp, is it true? WTF! It's like The Bachelorette: Manhattan Blue-Blood Yuppie Family Edition. Minus 4.

Wow, Eric Zee finally lays the smackdown on Olivia! Plus 8.

Whitney: "Harry told me you have a girlfriend." Freddie: [pause] "But ... I don't know." Compelling response, you douche. Minus 3, but Plus 6 for Roxy chiming in, almost as an aside, that Harry was cock-blocking his older bro.

Another eye-rolling music tie-in: Beyonce's "Ego." Minus 1.

TOTAL: +8. SEASON TOTAL: -7. The City has picked up its game in recent weeks. We hate to admit it, but sometimes you need a complete putz like F-squared to stir up trouble. Sorta like The Bachelorette and Wes Hayden.

Whitney Port: Jimmy Choo Chick

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Stepping out for an evening of fashionable fun, Whitney Port was on hand for the Jimmy Choo for H&M Launch Party in Los Angeles on Monday (November 2).

The MTV reality star looked sexy as she posed for pictures in the arrivals area before mingling with the star-studded guest list.


Whitney Port: West Coast Wonderful

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Enjoying her time back home and away from “The City” life, Whitney Port was spotted making her way around yesterday (October 30).

First, the reality TV star hit the gym in Brentwood before changing her gear and heading to a salon to get her make-up done; perhaps as a practice session for the Halloween holiday.

Freddie Fackelmayer: The Lamest Fake Boyfriend Ever

Friday, October 30th, 2009


Seriously, MTV? This is the best you can do?

We realize The City is as scripted as The Hills, and you need to dig up a nice fake boyfriend for Whitney Port to date and pretend to make things interesting.

Laughably obvious as this strategy is, it at least makes sense to a certain degree. Deciding on Freddie Fackelmayer as the guy to fill the role? Not so much!

First, as N.Y. Magazine puts it, the commercial real estate broker has glaringly white bleached caps that "elevate his fake tan to Oompa Loompa proportions."

LOL, because that's not even that big of a stretch.

Clad in baby blue and pink, he is "a modern-day Nantucket-dwelling Poseidon who just body surfed from New England to Manhattan on a wave of hair gel."

It's hard to even take Freddie Fackelmayer seriously.

One could overlook these superficial flaws if Freddie Fackelmayer made up for them by being at all interesting. But he may be the most boring individual ever.

Moreover, he elevated his second-date awkwardness on this week's The City by bringing along his father, Fridolin (?!) to dinner with Whit without telling her.

Always a winning strategy.

Even though it's her own fault for agreeing to fake-date Freddie, we still felt bad for Whitney Port after the snobby dad patronized the living $h!t out of her.

Maybe we're way off base, but somehow we doubt it. We need your opinion, ladies: Is Freddie Fackelmayer at all appealing, or as big a tool as we think?

Tell us: Would YOU hit it?

The City Recap: “Hit it and Quit it”

Thursday, October 29th, 2009


This week on The City, Whitney Port went on another date with Freddie Fackelmayer, while Jay Lyon also wanted to know the status of their relationship.

Below, THG staff members pick apart the latest episode of the Whitney-centric Hills spinoff, awarding and deducting points as we see fit throughout ...

In the opening moments, we learn that Whit basically booty-called Jay Lyon while he was back in town, then quit him for good. Hence the title. Plus 8.

Kelly says how she started her own company to promote things she believes in. Wow, now our interns are even less motivated to write this. Minus 2.

Olivia Palermo actually interacts with Roxy and Whitney this week! Amazing. It's almost as if she has a reason for being on the show. Almost. Plus 4.

Freddie Fackelmayer invites his father, Fridolin, out to dinner with Whitney. Minus 2 for Fred's faux pas, and Minus 1 more because Fridolin was so awk.

Whitney, Olivia, Erin and Roxy

It takes Roxy Olin 12 seconds to realize Olivia is bad at her job and painful in general. She's perceptive, but Minus 1 because we still had to tolerate Olivia.

This is off-topic, but Roxy was on Brothers & Sisters this week and wasn't terrible. The fact that her parents are both on that show helps, but still, Plus 5.

Could MTV have set Whitney up with a lamer guy? Dude fake tans, bleaches his teeth, spends way too lonf on his hair and is not even interesting! Minus 10.

Samantha Swetra and Whitney debate if a dude can be a socialite. We don't know the answer, but if so, Whitney's fake boyfriend is so the epitome. Plus 2.

How long until Erin Kaplan goes postal on Olivia? Plus only 2, because they're dragging it out and she's too passive-aggressive, not aggressive-aggressive.

We never thought we'd say it, but we missed Jay Lyon. He's not without fault, but at least the guy has personality. Too bad this was just a cameo. Minus 3.

TOTAL: +2. SEASON TOTAL: -15. Scores were boosted by Olivia's integration into the rest of the show and the remergence of Jay and romantic tension.

It's got a long way to go, but positive steps, City. Positive steps.

Whitney Port: Mani-Pedi Monday

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Saturday, October 24th, 2009
