“The Hills” fourth season just commenced and drama already started pouring. Luckily there’s Lauren Conrad who reminds us the whole point of MTV’s reality series: “Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better.” However, the whole scene repeats itself obsessively and I’m really starting to wonder how much more are “The Hills” fans going to take.

Of course L.C. is dating another high-school friend. How many cute guys could have possibly been in the same place? And are they all attracted to the same hottie? Hard to tell.

Anyway, passing on to Brody Jenner and Spencer Pratt we find again some fresh trouble, because there would be no “Hills” without betrayed friendships. According to E! Online, the latter got close to Doug Reinhart, new cast member, as well as L.C.’s current date, and began criticizing his ex-best friend. E! Online quoted an unnamed source as saying, “Spencer said he had no respect for Brody because he was always up Lauren’s ass.” Furthermore, following this “sophisticated” remark, the cast crew went to Nobu for a festive dinner. Things went downhill when Brody Jenner found out all about his former friend’s comments.

As reported by E! Online, the source added that they were about to fight and that “Spencer kept saying ‘I’m gonna choke him out.’” However, the source reported that things were set soon set at ease and that they both enjoyed their meals at different tables. Furthermore, Brody Jenner went to Spencer Pratt’s table to thank everyone for the dinner and subsequently left, according to the source, cited by E! Online.
