The Hills Are Alive With Audrina Patridge’s Denim Deal

What’s Next: Spencer Pratt Modeling Tighty Whities?

Like her frenemies Lauren Conrad, Whitney Port and Heidi Montag,  Audrina Patridge is the latest of their crew to use her 15-minutes of fame to land a gig as a “designer.” The Hills star and sometimes actress (is there a difference?) is collaborating on a line of jeans for Divine Rights Denim. And she’s putting her limited facial expressions to work as the line’s cover girl.

L.C.’s go-to-pal puts her pre-fame topless modeling experience to use, striking a provocative pose in stone-wash jeans (the horror!)  and a lacy bra in the midst of rumbled sheets in the new ad that goes for “sexy” but ends up looking like one of those cheesy late night 1-800-CALL-ME commercials filmed in a Motel 6.

According to Divine’s director of sales, Angel Shoshan, Audrina apparently possesses what is known in the jeans world as a ”real denim edgy friendliness” that the company wanted.  “She has that flavor to her,” says Shoshan. “She can wear a wife beater and jeans, and she just looks comfortable and hot.”

Denim edgy friendliness?  Sounds like PR-speak for “works cheap” to us.

Give your jeans a kick with these j’adorable peep-toe Marciano booties.  The knot decoration at the vamp is the perfect little sassy wink.

Batman The Dark Knight: The First Celebrity Pics from the Summer’s Hottest Movie

The cast of the latest installment in the Batman franchise turned out in their “black carpet” finest for The Dark Knight premiere last night in New York City. This is by far the most hotly anticipated summer blockbuster of 2008.

The absence of Heath Ledger dominated world premiere last night, amid increased speculation that his performance as the Joker could be up for an Oscar next February.

The traditional red carpet was black in the late actor’s honour, while his co-stars, including Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman and Maggie Gyllenhaal, wore dark outfits. While the cast was posed for photographers outside the IMAX cinema, Ledger’s relatives quietly slipped into the venue. Crowds of die-hard fans thronged the theatre on Manhattan’s 68th street, to the point where they shut down traffic over one block during rush hour.

British director Christopher Nolan has given the absolutely stunning sequel a predatory glamor. Ledger offers a hauntingly complex and mesmerizing performance, while Bale captivates as the hero riddled with a blinding inner conflict.

Despite the moratorium on flirty and light red carpet regalia, Lauren Conrad still manages to exploit her place on the coveted black carpet by wearing a dress that is so unworthy of this premiere. She looks like a one of those annoying perfume-spritzer models at the Bergdorf Goodman Fragrance Counter.

On the other hand, ShoeMinx LOVES Blake Lively working the gold pumps in a demure, black-carpet appropriate ensemble. Maggie and Blake definitely hit the high style marks when dressing for this momentous occasion. Lauren, not so much.
