I saw a somewhat recent interview with Kristin Cavallari regarding her first Hills episode... She said that her and Audrina had met prior to shooting to discuss what was going to go down that episode. They knew MTV wanted them to fight but agreed not to. But when when Kristin arrived, and they came after her "...like a bunch of piranhas...", that's when she decided it was game on. So how fake was that fight after all?
the guy who made the comment about the skinny dip sesh was David, LCs prom date!
