<![CDATA[Valley of the Dulls - Gawker Comments]]> <![CDATA[Valley of the Dulls - Gawker Comments]]> <![CDATA[Valley of the Dulls]]> @beppolina1: Nine years of French lessons, including a college minor, and the only practical application of all this useless knowledge is knowing that MTA wouldn't let LC correctly translate "cou" as "asshole."

That's $124,000 well spent.

(Merde.)

]]> <![CDATA[Valley of the Dulls]]> Anyone know where Lauren's shirt is from? I like it and it's obviously not from her collection.

That greasy French suitor with his shirt buttoned down to his navel was kinda hot in a Justin Bobby way, but I guess the accent helps make up for some of the grease. Also: mustache, love.

]]> <![CDATA[Valley of the Dulls]]> Go here:
[www.lebal.fr]
and click on "Galerie Video" all the way on the right. You'll get a tiny glimpse of Whitney, forlorn in the corner, holding up her little signs. Right after they introduce Phil Collins' daughter.

Also how funny when Lauren, flipping through the French dictionary, suggested "con" as a nickname for Brody? (But she pronounced it...eh, nevermind.)

]]> <![CDATA[Valley of the Dulls]]> Sex in the City got excitement out of Paris? Am I the only one who thought the series finale was dreadful? Or maybe it's just that much less excitement than the Hills gets out of it.

]]> <![CDATA[Valley of the Dulls]]> @Phyllis Nefler: Yes. All of that bothered me.

Also, the cute Frenchman, Matthieu, was hilarious. I'm sure the producers were like, "who do we know that looks and acts exactly like Pepe LePew?"

]]> <![CDATA[Valley of the Dulls]]> @BK_KT: Right? At least a dressing-down (pun intended? I'm not even sure) from some senior Vogue staffer, or the dude from the store, would have sufficed for me. Also, it's sketchy that the shoe store opened early enough for them to have picked up the shoes and gotten to the fashion show by 10:20 or whatever it was. FRAUD!!

]]> <![CDATA[Valley of the Dulls]]> The Hills would be great if it was entirely transition shots of LC and That Other One riding around Paris with a relatively tolerable soundtrack. Unfortunately, listening to them speak and watching them live out aggressively mundane plotlines makes this show the entertainment equivalent of Uncle Sam cereal. Because of all the flax.

That being said, the fact that the one French guy is now tagged as the "Tambourine Player" and can't just vaguely tell girls that he's "in a band" may be enough to win over my cold, black heart.

]]> <![CDATA[Valley of the Dulls]]> If The Hills producers mean to draw a comparison between the much-smarter SATC juggernaut (that relished in just how scripted it was) and this wishy-washy, am I or aren't I, balloon-full-of-sparkles spectacle that is The Hills, then they're riding on some now haggard coattails. Otherwise The Hills is shouting out a very modern "ha, ha, fuck you!" to television's past.

]]> <![CDATA[Valley of the Dulls]]> Did it bother anyone else that she didn't get in trouble for burning the nice dress??

Or that Heidi was in full makeup on the ski slopes? (I was like, wow, Heidi is a skier, props to that, team Heidi! ...and then they showed the close-up of her faux face.) Her mom was cool though.

Also, Mariah Carey is my new muse for her ability to lose about 70 lbs every time she has a new single.

]]> <![CDATA[Valley of the Dulls]]> What was weird was the award-show-style pre-show where everyone cheered and clapped after each outtake from the previous season. It struck me as a weird moment in youth culture where the real excitement lies in sitting around watching semi-poignant, poorly acted sexless pornography. Huh?

]]> <![CDATA[Valley of the Dulls]]> Maybe if Lauren would've busted her ass in the middle of Dior like SJP did, it would've been a little more interesting. Whitney took the plunge once, it's definitely LC's turn.

]]> <![CDATA[Valley of the Dulls]]> You know, my mind is so polluted, reading about Paris Hilton day in and out, that I can't even think of "Paris" as a place anymore. So when I read your piece, each time you mentioned Paris, I thought you were referring to her.

Which, I'm sorry, didn't make the narrative more exciting. But it's not you, it's her.
