We happened to be at Jian, the new Korean BBQ spot on Beverly Boulevard, last night for a Soju-infused cocktail (which tasted a lot like a vodka gimlet) when an ear-pieced crew came in scouting out the restaurant. After much fussing over tables and placing cameras, in walked Hills stars Audrina Patridge and Justin Bobby. Audrina with an impressively taught bod in a zippered black vest, low-slung jeans that fit like a glove, big hoop earring and lots of bracelets and slouchy bag—a requisite sliver of tanned belly exposed to pull it all together; and Justin Bobby very casual in a checkered black-and-white hooded shirt/jacket.

They walked in-and-out of the restaurant many times, perhaps to get re-shot walking in? They did a lot of waiting around. Audrina chatted with someone from the restaurant; Justin talked with MTV crew. They finally sit down, and, what? Have a normal conversation after so much prep and cameras placed? The whole thing was extraordinarily anti-climatic. MTV has mastered producing this reality stuff for sure, but to glimpse behind the veil of glossy production is rather tedious. We couldn't stay forever for fear of dying of boredom. [RackedWire]
