And they also know that stripes are sooo in this season!

Last night we spotted Hills hotties Audrina Patridge, Stephanie Pratt and Kristin Cavallari returning home from their Costa Rica vacay, and the ladies looked well rested and sun soaked as they made their way through LAX. I'm sure they had a blast on their getaway, but we definitely missed them, so we're glad to have 'em back!



As the supposed final season of The Hills comes to a close, Audrina Patridge and Stephanie Pratt are enjoying their final camera-ready strolls down Rodeo Drive, their last their bit of "drama," and the end of the sharing of boyfriends among cast members.

At least we think all that will end, right? It was just for the cameras -- none of it's actually REAL is it?

The female cast members of The Hills haven't been afraid to drag their real-life loves in front of the camera. This season, singer Ryan Cabrera isn't exactly shying away from starring opposite current girlfriend, Audrina Patridge. If you've watched the MTV show and seen all the previews, you've seen how these two lovebirds are inseparable.

However a source close to The Hills production tells X17online exclusively:

"All Ryan Cabrera wants is attention. People have to remember that he got famous on The Ashlee Simpson Show back in '04 when they were dating. He's just using Audrina to get his failing music career back."

Back in Season 5, Paris' ex Doug Reinhardt was riding Lauren Conrad's coattails on the show ...even taking LC to prom. No surprise that relationship ended quickly after the season wrapped, with some sources saying, "Doug was a fame whore and Lauren finally realized it." Fast forward to this year, and Doug found himself in a reality mess yet again. This time, Paris Hilton reportedly discovered that Doug was secretly shopping around a reality show about them as a couple. Miss P wasn't happy about it, and quickly kicked her boy toy to the curb.

So how bout' Hills hottie Brody Jenner's current relationship with punk princess Avril Lavigne? X17 photographers captured the first pictures (CLICK HERE to see those) of the odd couple making out in public.

As for Deryck Whibley's ex appearing on the show, a source close to Brody tells X17online:

"Avril wants to stay as far away from the Hills as possible. She is completely fine when it comes to money, and she doesn't need the extra fame. Everyone already knows who she is."

Our source adds, "Plus, Avril has absolutely nothing in common with those spoiled b*tches."

First of all, don't mess with Kristin Cavallari! She's not stupid and she has the best one-liners. Anyone that watched Laguna Beach already knows this...

Basically, she thinks Steph Pratt started the cocaine at the Super Bowl rumors about her and Steph responds with: "Are you drunk right now? You're just a mean person."

I agree with Kristin - "just shut up," she says to her frenemy. "Why do we all have to be friends?" she adds. Check out the juiciness above!

It's the final season, y'all! LC's been outta the picture for a while, but what about Kristin, Audrina and all the rest?

Kristin and co. head to Miami for the Super Bowl and everyone worries that she's turning into Lindsay Lohan. But the best part was Heidi's homecoming and her mom's reaction to all the plastic surgery! Kinda intense, right?

Think Heidi's mom should've been more supportive? Or was her reaction entirely approps?

MTV is cutting the girls loose! There's only one more season of The Hills, so the network released this Desperate Housewives-esque promo to entice viewers...

Sidebar, what's going on with Heidi in this trailer? How come she's not flying high like the rest of 'em!

Meanwhile, Kristin Cavallari was spotted running errands in Bev Hills today with an Audrina lookalike:

Yesterday Kristin Cavallari and Audrina Patridge shot scenes for the final season of The Hills as they shopped at Madison, and the ladies were more than polite with photogs as they snapped away. But didn't Kristin get the memo to glam it up a bit? Audrina totally out-dressed her in this gorgeous coral frock!

Think the girls will miss the constant attention when their reality careers are over? Or will they stay in the spotlight and do bigger and better things with their lives? And no, we're not talking about plastic surgery...

The cast of The Hills take a moment from their busy lives to watch themselves stirring up drama on their hit MTV show.

Kristen's reaction is hilarious! But where's Heidi? Not sure how she would have reacted to the scenes in which her 10 plastic surgeries were laughed at.

Considering most of the cast pulls in close to $100,000 per episode, we'd be laughing at ourselves, too...all the way to the bank!

The Hills Season 6 premieres on April 27.
