No one tells Olivia Palermo what to do -- or what to wear. On 'The City' (Tue., 10:30PM ET on MTV), Olivia defied her boss at 'Elle' magazine, refusing to wear some assigned designer duds to a magazine event.

"My name is on an invitation to host a party for 'Elle' magazine," boss Joe Zee said to Olivia and coworker Erin Kaplan. "I just expected that both of you would show up, support me, support the magazine, but also support the designer."

In a patronizing tone, Olivia responded, "Oh, Joe," and appeared to be stifling a laugh. "I just want you to know how serious this situation is," said Joe. "Mm, yeah," she said with a smirk.

'The Hills' and 'The City' are gearing up for new seasons, and there's plenty of romances, break-ups, partying, new betrayals and new alliances ahead.

Both shows premiere April 27 on MTV, and the love lives and careers of Heidi, Spencer, Brody, Audrina, Justin, Whitney, Roxy, Olivia and Erin will continue to dominate the new seasons.

More previews and videos after the jump.

What happened on this week's 'The City' season 1 episode 23, 'Season Finale' -- in 100 words or less.

Whitney has a tense meeting with Bergdorf Goodman, after Kelly nixes the idea of taking Roxy. Meow. But then Kelly doesn't show either, leaving Whitney in the lurch.

Back at the office, Kelly offers Whitney a place in a Bryant Park show. "Take a leap of faith," says Kelly.

(S02E18) After all the hype surrounding the Lindsay Lohan appearance, I was expecting more than a brief flashback that explained Betty's hatred of sports. Even the little French kid had more screen time! It would be one thing if Lohan was introduced briefly midseason and continued to make appearances; that would have made sense. Introducing her for thirty seconds before the season's end was a strange choice. I look forward to seeing how they reintroduce Kimberly in the Ugly Betty present, but I wish they had waited until next season's premiere to bring her in.
