HILLS RECAP: Heidi Turns 21 and Still Loves Spencer

Montag is gifted Chanel, but the other gals get to have all the real fun

What does a young, fun reality star do when she turns 21? Judging by Heidi Montag on Monday night's episode of The Hills, she has a mature dinner with her fiancé filled with awkward pauses.

Yes, despite Heidi's best efforts to convince us that her quiet dinner with said betrothed, Spencer Pratt, was all she really wanted on such a momentous occasion ("I'm with the love of my life, this is so much easier [than a party]," she says), we aren't quite sure we can believe her.

While we covet the brand new Chanel purse that Pratt got his lady (have you ever heard Heidi say, "I love you" so many times?), it ain't a 21st birthday unless drinks are being tallied!

Luckily, at least the other Hills girls were out having fun.

Lauren Conrad and her Teen Vogue co-worker Whitney Port put on a huge fashion show for the magazine, moving stars through a crowded red carpet and seating them in just minutes. Even a late Hillary Duff doesn't break their stride, as they hold the show for her dramatic arrival, and then start it as soon as she sits her tiny butt down. Best of all? The night wins them the approval of their demanding editor, Lisa Love.

Meanwhile, at the Viper Room on Sunset, Audrina Patridge and semi-boyfriend Justin Bobby go to see The Ruse play so she can scout them for Epic. At an after-party, one of the band members tries to put the moves on our 'Drina, and gets shut down by a protective JB who tells the guy "she's pretty good." This apparently translates to "hands off my woman," because before we know it, the Ruse man looks crestfallen, and JB and Audrina leave the bar together.

Next week: Lauren tells Heidi: "I want to forgive you, and I want to forget you." Ouch.
