Top 5 Places to Run Into (or Away From) ‘The Hills’

The cast of the faux-reality show The Hills makes for (sometimes) entertaining television. Maybe you think you can do better? Here are the top five Los Angeles spots you can run into LC, Lo, Audrina, Stephanie, Heidi, and Spencer. Who knows -- maybe you can get a cameo on an episode and parlay that into a regular spot on the show. We hear that LC and Lo are taking applications for “the boyfriend” role.

1. Les Deux. This Hills staple is a great place to start your quest to bump into the realebrities. While you people-watch, order a cupcake tower.

2. Hyde. Good luck getting in—their motto is: No one gets in. No paps and no photos inside, but there’s plenty of mugging for the camera outside, so at least you’ll know who’s having fun without you.

3. Area. Be prepared to pony up for bottle service, and also the music sucks, and unless you’re “somebody” you might not get in (even if you’re on the guestlist). However, all that may be worth it for the serious eye candy, and of course, a possible autograph from LC.

4. Boulevard3. Scene of Stephanie Pratt’s ruined birthday, it’s accessible with reservation. There’s a giant dance floor, a fireplace, and even a cabana boy.

5. S Bar . Philippe Starck has his stamp on the east and the west coasts; this place is Alice in Wonderland meets The Matrix. Vibe is not so much “scene” as “chill.”
