Olivia Palermo, MTV thinks you’re boring. Whitney Port will be toting two new accessories for her second time around “The City,” and they come in the form of Roxy and Samantha. Palermo, who was Port’s leading frenemy last season, reportedly cannot be filmed “going wild” now that the socialite has jumped ship from Diane von Furstenberg to Elle magazine. With Palermo out of the picture, MTV decided to hire introduce Port to two new BFFs – both who, also reportedly, fit their needed party girl shoes, true to size.

I’m really hoping that Olivia isn’t cut from the series altogether … that these new ladies have been added to the cast to augment the cast we already know. I suppose it shouldn’t come as too big a surprise that The City is becoming as contrived as The Hills. I actually liked that there was still the mystique of reality on the first season of The City … I fear that mystique will be gone soon enough. Whitney’s new friends look vixen-y enough for me in these pics … Samantha looks like she could be a total beyotch (or, mebbe she was just photographed mid-blink). Whatever the case, we’ll be seeing these folks in action on MTV soon enough. Excited?

A little bird told me that things may change DRASTICALLY on the second season of the show. I’m hearing that Whitney may be getting a new job … at a magazine … which would make The City even more like The Hills (as you may recall, the first few seasons of The Hills centered around work at Teen Vogue magazine). Also, I believe they may be introducing a new love interest. HMMMM. I still like watching The City … but I prolly won’t love it as much as I’ll love the Cavallari-centered new version of The Hills. Wee!! I feel like a 16 year old girl again … er … I mean not again … oh, you know what I mean :)

Attending The Hills panel at PaleyFest without being a regular viewer of The Hills is like going to a Friday night party at some condo off Sunset where everybody knows each other and nobody knows you. So you stand there amid an attractive crowd and nod and smile and pretend like you get their jokes. Helpfully, before the panel the producers screen a 20-minute compilation of clips from The Hills that summarizes the first five seasons of the hit MTV docu-soap. The clips are either perfectly edited, or the series has incredible amounts of filler because when the lights come up you feel like you just sat through every single episode and understand everything that’s happened: A blonde girl named Lauren moved to Hollywood and fell in love with another blonde girl named Heidi. They broke up when Heidi fell in love with a blond guy named Spencer. Each season the girls wore more obvious makeup and Lauren cries a lot. Oh, and at one point Lauren went to France. But when the cast comes onstage there’s a glaring omission. Heidi, who was billed to be onstage with Lauren, is not here. This is a considerable letdown, even for those of us who just started watching The Hills roughly 20 minutes ago. We’re told she’s planning for a “big event” this weekend, which is rumored to be her wedding to Spencer. Needless to say, The Hills cameras will be there, and three cast members say they are invited, none of which are Lauren. The biggest news bits from the Q&A:

– Producers were asked if the show will continue beyond the fifth season and gave the usual “we’re in talks … seeing if there are more stories to tell,” etc., etc., answer.

HMMM … I don’t think there was anyone who seriously doubted that it was Spencer who came up with the sex tape rumor, I mean … c’mon. The fact that he finally admits it on camera should come as no shock to anyone. Since this is the “last” season of The Hills, they have to pull out all the stops … the sex tape thing is one big loose end that was never tied up and the Speidi wedding is another. It really sounds like LC is done with the show … which means that any attempts to keep it going without her are going to be really bad, I think. Laguna Beach didn’t really fare so well once she left the show … and when they moved the drama to Newport Beach (introducing a new cast of characters) the whole thing went into the toilet. If MTV is smart, they’ll just let the show end on a relative high note.

But that doesn’t mean they may not try to launch a new show around Heidi and Spencer. It remains to be seen if those two can carry a show all by themselves but, I’m telling you, they’re gonna try. First, tho, they’ve got a little wedding to get thru … let’s see if they can pull that off before they think about launching their own TV show. Do you think they’ll be able to carry a show on their own? Would you tune in?

Lauren Conrad has had her share of romantic escapades on her various MTV series – but now her love life is going to the dogs. In the May 3 episode of FOX’s hit comedy Family Guy, an animated Conrad gets tangled in a romantic web of Brian the dog’s making. PEOPLE.com has a first look at Conrad’s character posing with Brian and Stewie in a take on an iconic Hills shot of Conrad, Audrina Patridge and Lauren “Lo” Bosworth. “She dates Brian for an episode,” show creator Seth MacFarlane tells PEOPLE of Conrad’s guest-voice stint, where Brian goes out with her to disguise the true object of his affection. When asked if it ends happily or badly for the pair, MacFarlane says, “I’m not going to spoil it!”

Ha! You gotta love that LC decided to lend her voice to this ep of Family Guy. Because she is cooperating, I doubt that they will lampoon her too harshly … tho, I’m sure the same cannot be said for her Hills cohorts/foils Heidi Montage and Spencer Pratt. Also, you will note that Audrina was replaced in the photo above with Brian, the dog. See, the jokes just write themselves. What do y’all think … will LC be a welcome addition to the show or not?

Yeah, I’m not sure it’s so much a matter of true love back in bloom so much as it’s a harbinger that the second season of The City is about to go into production. Personally, I’m so over Jay … I think it would be ACE if Whitney found herself a new dude to fake love on the show. I understand Robert Buckley is lookin’ for work … can someone at MTV make that happen please?

It seems like these days everyone has caught “Twilight” fever — even celebrities like Ashley Tisdale and Ryan Reynolds admit to being fans of the teen vampire saga. But, there’s one celebrity who isn’t buying into it — and she knows a thing or two about drama. Former “The Hills” and now “The City” star Whitney Port admitted to MTV News that, despite seeing the movie, she has yet to figure out just what the big deal is surrounding “Twilight.” “I haven’t read the books, but I saw the movie,” she said. “I thought the movie was really bad. I love whatever his name is … Robert [Pattinson]. I think he’s so good-looking and handsome. I haven’t met him.” Although Whitney has love for Robert, she has more lukewarm feelings for his “Twilight” co-star, Kristen Stewart. “She’s OK. She seems so serious, like she’s so one-dimensional,” she said. “I think [Stewart and Pattinson] have good chemistry … I just didn’t think the acting was so good.” With all that in mind, it seems that everyone in Hollywood — no matter how they feel about “Twilight” — has auditioned for a part in one of the upcoming sequels. It begs the question: Is Whitney looking to audition? “I’m not really so much of an actress. I didn’t do this to do acting,” she said.

LMAO!!!! Clearly, Whitney is not courting the rabid Twilight fanbase with her comments … I mean, even if you really didn’t like the film is it really smart to say so? I suppose the girl deserves credit for her honesty but if I were her, I’d watch my back. Twilighters are a fervently devoted group of folks … she’d be wise to steer clear of any Twilight fan for the foreseeable future. Whitney’s comments are even more telling when you hear them come from her mouth. After the jump, watch video of Whitney’s anti-Twilight comments for yourself …

It looks like Whitney Port isn’t wasting any time getting over ex-boyfriend Jay Lyon! Sparks are already flying between The City’s Whitney and Lipstick Jungle actor Robert Buckley, an insider tells Life & Style. The duo were both in Miami to host the Havaianas Spring Break event at the Shore Club on March 18. “Whitney and Rob hung out together all day. They were even holding hands!” an insider tells Life & Style. “There was definitely something in the air!” But the passion really ignited at dinner later that night. “Whitney and Rob joined about 10 of their friends for dinner at Nobu. They got quite cozy and started making out like crazy!” the insider reveals. To cap off the sultry evening, the two partied the night away! “They hit the town together after dinner.” says the insider. Juicy new romance or a spring fling? Only time will tell…

You know, if this report is true and something does come from this Spring fling … then Whitney Port is one lucky girl. Robert Buckley is a total cutie and, from what I understand, a really cool guy. I’m not sure I totally believe the details of this report but, again, I can’t say that I would blame Whitney one bit for trying to get into Robert’s pants. Wouldn’t it be great if Robert started showing up on The City? OMG! Olivia Palmero would DIE! OK, mebbe not … the show might be beneath him … buy any Robert Buckley is more than welcome as far as I’m concerned. My gut tells me that these two are not and will not become an item … which is deffo a loss for Whitney. What do y’all think … do you like these two together?

“The City’s” Whitney Port and her reality show boyfriend, Jay Lyon, have called it quits, a friend of Whitney’s reveals to In Touch. “They broke up on Monday,” said the friend. “Whitney did it over the phone, she was basically just not happy for a while and decided she really wanted to end it. Jay said they should talk things over, but it seems her mind is made up.” The couple agreed to take a break while Jay toured with his band Tamarama, as shown in this week’s episode, but later reconciled. “The episode that aired on Monday was filmed over a month ago. They got back together after that, but now Whitney has dumped him for good,” says the friend. The couple met and began dating last summer when Whitney began filming MTV’s “The City” and moved to Manhattan. They had been dating ever since. “There was no cheating or anything like that, she’s just finally fed up,” the friend says. “She asked her close friends for advice and thinks it’s best her and Jay both go their separate ways. He’s not going to change and she’s just sick of it.”

To be honest, I have a very hard time believing any showmance that is heavily featured on reality TV is actually real (consider Lauren LC Conrad was “dating” Doug Reinhardt on The Hills but was really dating actor Kyle Howard off screen) so this news of Whitney and Jay’s dunzoness doesn’t really smack of any sort of, well, reality. We know that The City was picked up for a second season and perhaps producers thought it would behoove the series to have Whitney a single lady in the city so that they can exploit Sex and the City-like scenarios in upcoming new eps of the show. To be honest, I was never a Jay fan and I’m glad to see him go. Real or not, I’m looking forward to seeing Whitney unattached and let loose on the town. Methinks her singlehood will make for much more entertaining TV to come.

Okay so a couple photos were captured while I was in Miami that weren’t the most discreet and I’m sorry if they offended anyone but I got too caught up in the sunshine and the weather that I guess I wasn’t as cautious as I should have been. Everyone knows the rough and tumble of the ocean mixed with a bathing suit — not the most attractive thing ever! So sorry for the view…very embarrassing to say the least! I guess all I can do now is laugh about it and move on!

OMG, I am SOOOOO glad she cleared that all up for us! Meh. It happens to most ladies at the beach and at least now Whitney can take pride (?) in the fact that she’s crossed over into Hollywood “It” Girldom now that she’s got her nip slip requirement out of the way. How much do you want to bet that Olivia Palmero, Whitney’s frenemy on The City, not only forwarded those photos to all of her friends, the “socials”, but also had enlargement photos printed out of Whitney’s bare boobs. Oh yeah, you know she did :)

The captions on these photos list the girl that Whitney is talking to as Olivia Palmero but after zooming in for a closer look, I do not believe that this girl is Olivia. We may have to wait until this particular episode airs to find out who Whitney and Jay are hanging out with. Oh and at first, I was gonna comment on how awesome Whitney’s DVF bag looked on the beach until I realized that it’s actually an H&M bag — you gotta love that Whitney is both fashionable AND frugal. Nice to see that Whitney and Jay are still together at least for this upcoming holiday together … I wonder what drama will unfold in this upcoming ep of The City.
