In the last few months, Audrina Patridge went from telling off Justin Bobby to hitting the party circuit with mohawked mega hottie Mark Salling. And just when we were starting to think the Hillzie might've finally met her match with the aforementioned Glee star/god, we spied these pix of 'Drina making the rounds with a tall, dark and extremely handsome stranger. So who IS this new (and mysterious) arm candy? Well, according to the rumor mill, his name's Matt Nordgren, he hails from Dallas, Texas, and he spent one season (2006-2007) playing backup QB for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Check out these shots of Audrina giving Matt the lay of the land yesterday (lunch at Griddle Cafe, a nightcap at Voyeur), then let us know whether you think dude belongs in her starting lineup!

The last time we saw Stephanie Pratt, she was wearing a glittery gold halter top (and matching tiara!) and hugging LC and Lo Bosworth as the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve. 'Course, sequins and sparkles don't exactly translate into everyday wear (unless you're a Vegas call girl/Katy Perry), so the Hillzie swapped her festive attire for a cozy oversized shirt/leggings on a day of running errands in L.A. Peep these pix of Steph keeping it cute n' casual yesterday afternoon, then take a look at three more Hills gals with a flair for flannel.

We know we shouldn't believe everything we read in the tabloids, but we couldn't help but do a double-take over Star magazine's latest "scoop." So what's the new (unconfirmed) rumor going 'round the block? Well, apparently Audrina Patridge (star of The Hills, Sorority Row and her as-yet-untitled reality show) is lookin' to add another notch to her belt: a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame!

“She said she thinks it’s only a matter of time before she gets a star," a source told Star. "She told me she wants it to be in a cool location, like near James Dean or Johnny Depp….”

Hmm, our instincts tell us there's probably more to the story, but assuming Audrina DOES have her eye on becoming a "star," we wanna know: Do you think she's ready? Take the poll and tell us whether Audrina should hold her horses -- or start scoping out the (concrete) real estate!

Happy birthday, Kristin Cavallari!
You always were the life of the party

And in honor of your special day
We thought we'd recount all the ways
You make our lives so cheery and bright
By bringing the drama to Tuesday nights

Thanks for bustin' out the girl-on-girl kisses
For starting a catfight with Brody's missus
For proving Justin Bobby is so much more
Than a greasy biker (and monosyllabic bore)

For bringing Stacie the Bartender back into our life
For introducing Spencer Pratt to his lovely wife
For throwing down with 'Drina at Casa de Speidi
For getting more action than Aphrodite

Kristin, we love you, and we wish you the best
Here's to life, love and happiness -- and all your success

Five ... four ... three ... two ... one ... HAPPY NEW YEAR! Time to get your celebration on (a la Speidi) and break out the noisemakers, party hats and half-hearted resolutions. Say goodbye to 2009 -- and let's party like it's 2010! (Or 1999, if you prefer.)

+ BONUS: In honor of the ball dropping, we thought we'd revisit some pics of our Hillzies in their sexiest/sparkliest ensembles. Check out these sequined looks from Kristin, Lauren, Stephanie and Audrina and tell us which gal had the best NYE-style gown!

• Wanna know what Lauren Conrad got for Christmas? A book on etiquette, courtesy of Mom! (Um, thanks?) And no, it's not the one written by Real Housewife Countess de Lesseps ...

• Oh, and LC admits she had a little trouble getting all her gifts locked and loaded in the car: "Christmas shopping all day in a 2 seater," she tweeted. "Kinda like playing an advanced version of tetris."

• Apparently, 2009 was a "bummer year" for Lo Bosworth. But that hasn't stopped her from wishing everyone "happy holidays," "safe travels and full bellies". (Right back atcha, lady!)

• Elsewhere in Hillsville, Spencer Pratt got his wife a pair of sparkly silver Christian Louboutins for X-mas. Cinderella, eat your heart out!

Santa couldn't make it this year, so instead, we thought we'd get you into the holiday spirit with these red-and-green fashion pix of your fave Hillzies! Have a Very Merry Christmas (if that's your thing) and even merrier three-day weekend. We'll see ya back here bright and early Monday morning!

Now's your chance to ask Audrina Patridge anything you ever wanted to know about her! The Hillzie's been fielding fan questions on her blog, Audrina Patridge.com, and recently she's fessed up to everything from her favorite designer (she's all about Balmain) to her BFFship with recent ex Corey Bohan (right now, they're just "friends" who "stay in touch").

'Course, much as we value her fashion feedback/Bohan updates, we're much more interested to hear her thoughts on dating, relationships ... and Justin Bobby. Check out two of her most revealing answers after the jump, plus head to 'Drina's website to hit her up yourself!

We'll say one thing for The Hills: there's never any shortage of relationship drama. This season, we saw Kristin Cavallari date up a storm, watched Audrina Patridge sweat it out over JB and held our breath during Heidi Pratt's attempted sperm-jacking ... and all the while, we never ONCE caught a glimpse of Lo Bosworth's new boy (pro athlete Scott Hochstadt)!

So what gives? Well, it's not that we don't wanna see Lo breaking hearts on camera. (FYI, we'd LOVE that!) It's just that Lo Boz has always preferred to save all the mushy love stuff 'til after the working day is done. Well, up until now.

After years of dating in secret, Lo's finally had a change of heart! The Hillzie recently told Terra USA that she'd have no prob getting romanced on the air, just as soon as she finds a fella who doesn't mind all the exposure. "I would be comfortable to [show that side of my life] now," she said. "But the people that I've dated since I've been on the show are not."

Lo -- we think you and Scott look great together and we wish you all the best. But if that doesn't work out, could you maybe try and find someone who's a little less camera shy? You'd be doing us all a HUGE favor. Thanks, lady!

We haven't heard much about Audrina Patridge and her supposed sweetie (Glee's Mark Salling) since they were caught "canoodling" late last month. So we were psyched to hear reports that the pair got cozy again ... at Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane's holiday party!

According to the New York Daily News' Gatecrasher column, the undercover lovers arrived separately but left together, leading fellow partygoers to conclude "[t]hey're definitely an item."

Hey, guess that's good news for the (nearly) 75% of you who thought they'd make a cute couple! And as for the remaining 25%? We've got one word for you: J-E-A-L-O-U-S.
