More of our best of the decade coverage, which started on Tuesday. You can read the other posts at the link above. Here, we talk about a very aught-like phenomenon: the cult of celebrity.

There is no clearer metaphor for the concept of being a celebrity than the Hollywood Walk of Fame. You work hard to chase your dream and achieve a career for yourself by making your name known to the masses of the universe.

Then when you've grabbed that star and become a regular fixture in the flash bulb of the press' cameras, how does the public honor your tireless toil and efforts? They throw you down on a sidewalk and walk all over you.

In the Aughts, however, a new celebrity oozed out of the primordial muck. A celebrity that still suffered the slings and arrows of the tabloid press and a complete loss of the right to privacy, but achieved their stardom by simply cutting out all that pesky hard work and tireless effort nonsense. These are the celebrities who became famous by simply because they were famous.

Okay, let's get this out of the way first. No, Heidi wasn't there. No, Spencer wasn't there. Yes, that's totally their style. And yes, I was kind of bummed out.

Speaking of bummed out, it was freezing in Beverly Hills last night. MTV rented the outside of this swanky mansion but here's the catch, nothing was going on inside. So, the press had to freeze for three hours while we waited to talk to the stars of The Hills. Also, the port-o-potties MTV set up for us were super classy. Come on! There had to be at least fifteen bathrooms in that house.

For what happened at the live red carpet event before the big season finale, read on past the jump. I got to talk to Chiara Kramer, "Lo" Bosworth, and Stephanie Pratt.

In other news, the apocalypse is finally here. I suggest you find Will Smith, take shelter at the nearest WalMart, and await the zombies.

Audrina Patridge will star in Into the Blue 2. The original, starring Jessica Alba and other hotties, was sublimely bad. The opportunity, Partridge says, "is giving me a chance to show people [what I can do]. This is why I moved to LA."

My questions for you TV Squad readers are as follows: Would you watch a movie starring Audrina Partridge? And, do you think this will instigate yet another feud among the The Hills skanks? I mean, LC was in Epic Movie but she played herself so that hardly counts as starring in a film.

The Hills season finale is live tonight from a mansion in Beverly Hills. The finale itself, which also stars Usher, will air at 10 PM ET and there will be an after-show at 11 p.m. ET. Yours truly will be there so watch for my post early tomorrow.
