Adam DiVello, Creator and Executive Producer

"All of the situations were real situations. If it was scripted, I would've written even better storylines. We were doing a lot of episodes about Audrina and [her on-again, off-again boyfriend] Justin Bobby ... tons of repeated storylines.

While in Hawaii, Brody admits to his friends that he cheated on Jayde with Audrina.

Other fake plotlines: Heidi never intentionally crashed the Teen Vogue party; Justin Bobby came to shoot pick-up scenes on the day he "wore combat boots to the beach" but didn't really ditch Audrina — who, by the way, wasn't really friends with Lauren and Lo; Brody and Lauren never actually dated, and Brody never slept ...

Lauren Conrad has admitted self-proclaimed biiiatch, Kristin Cavallari, slapped her around the face. Lo Bosworth and Audrina Patridge hinted at the incident in a 'The Hills' season 6 premiere interview, last month, and now LC has confirmed it.

The Hills Have Eyes – 1977

This is a modern take on the legend of Alexander “Sawney” Bean, a 15th century cannibal who, along with his family, allegedly murdered over 1,000 people in the Scottish Highlands. Weirdly he lived in a cave with 46 of his immediate family…

Perhaps you recall the particularly moving 2008 episode in which Audrina viciously accused Lauren of hooking up with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Justin Bobby.

Here, seven of the most surprising, but you've been warned: You'll never look at The Hills the same again. 1. Lauren Conrad and Brody Jenner Never Dated! It seemed like there were real sparks between Lauren and Brody when he joined the show in season two, but those were actually just friendly vibes.

No, we're just friends. I've known Chris for awhile, just through mutual friends. I've known him for a few years, actually." While Kristin was faking romances on-screen with Brody Jenner and Justin Bobby, she was actually secretly dating someone behind-the-scenes during her time on The Hills.

While Audrina remained good friends with Kristin, her friendship with Lauren wasn't built for the long haul. L.C. was "controlling," Audrina wrote, it was always her way or the highway—and Audrina didn't want to "obey" her pal.

Heidi Never Really Worked At Bolthouse

"I definitely did not get the promotion over Elodie!" she said. "She really worked there and I pretend worked there, so it was obviously a pretend promotion for her to be upset about. That whole plot was scripted."

Audrina and Brody have known each other for more than a decade and a half, but she's insisting in her new memoir, Choices, that they've never cross the line from friendship into romance. At least, she shared, they haven't crossed that line yet.

Kristin and Brody briefly dated after her tenure on another MTV reality show. "I dated Brody when I was 18, right after Laguna Beach, actually, and that's it," she spilled on Bethenny Frankel's talk show in 2012. " And then on the show, on The Hills, they had us 'dating' for a few episodes."

She told Bethenny back in 2012 about their relationship, saying: “I dated Brody when I was 18, right after Laguna Beach, actually, and that's it. "And then on the show, on The Hills, they had us 'dating' for a few episodes.”

It was based on a “true story.”

And then on the show, on The Hills, they had us 'dating' for a few episodes. They pretended that him and Jayde broke up and I was dating Brody, and Jayde and I got into a huge fight because she saw us in a club. It wasn't real at all. They were together the entire time."

That was the real elopement where we really got married in a church. They didn't even do that on the fake one because they were like, "No we wanna have a wedding back in L.A. with the cast." We had a real wedding on the first [trip] at the Palmilla in Cabo at their chapel on the property.

Did Spencer ever cheat? ›

“While I can't get into specifics about what happened, there was definitely an emotional betrayal with another woman,” Montag told the magazine. “I've definitely been betrayed by friends before, but I've never had a boyfriend do this to me.”

The dead dog used as a stand-in for the family's slaughtered Alsatian 'Beauty' was a real (already dead) dog that director Wes Craven and producer Peter Locke bought from the county sheriff's department.

The Hills Have Eyes doesn't exactly have a happy ending. Only a couple of the Carters manage to survive the ordeal, and those survivors will be forever traumatized by the events of the movie. But the movie never gets more unbearably terrifying than when the cannibals ransack the camper and attack the family.

Most of the Hill people were killed, but Papa Hades and his group narrowly survived the purge. Realizing that they were among the few survivors, they began to kidnap and impregnate women in order to create more mutants and save their kind from extinction.
