Here at National Lampoon we are dedicated to forwarding the beaux arts, those which sustain, revitalize, and renew mankind’s cultural heritage and remind us of the unknown possibilities and potentialities of perception. Dear reader, let this be the beginning of a beautiful thing: the National Lampoon Book Club. We don’t have the stickers, or a name with an easy transition to aesthetically-pleasing designs, as Oprah does. What we do have, like Oprah, but arguably more infantile, is a keen literary sense.

It is for that reason, that we have elected to give you all, our lovely and beautiful readers, a sneak peak of the best new book of the summer: L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad.

Hey guys, I covered the red carpet for the 2009 MTV Movie Awards for Lampoon and one of our friend’s site TVgasm.  It was a fun one!!!

Enjoy:

Hey guys, I got on the phone with Stephanie Pratt from The Hills last week.  We talked about The Hills finale, her life on reality TV, the Heidi/Spencer wedding, her new handbag line, and much much more.

Don’t miss The Hills finale tomorrow at 8PM followed by the Movie Awards at 9PM ET/PT on MTV.
Check it out:

UGH, Audrina just told People magazine that MTV renewed The Hills for a fifth season!

Season Five will feature the girls in assisted care living.

Episode one: LC gets a hip replacement

Episode two: Audrina’s eyes finally roll to the back of her head

Episode three: Lo gets jealous of how Audrina has no pupils

I love The Hills, and even I’m over it. Give it up already! They already have so many spinoffs that MTV is shortly going to spinoff of our cable box.
