For six seasons, the stars of “The Hills” have lived the L.A. dream — partying at Les Deux, riding on the back of bad boys’ motorcycles and swapping boyfriends like so many borrowed frocks. But during tonight’s series finale, the high-living Hollywood hotties made some serious life decisions.

During six seasons of “The Hills,” the ladies always managed to leave an impression when it came to fashion. It was no different when the stylish castmembers arrived to walk the red carpet at Los Angeles’ Roosevelt Hotel, just before the show’s series finale was set to air on Tuesday night.

Since Lil Wayne went to jail earlier this year, his fans have been curious about how the star is holding up. Artists who have kept in touch with Weezy — like Tyga, Nicki Minaj and Fat Joe — have given updates about the star’s bid, and roughly midway through his sentence, Wayne has written another letter to his fans, opening up about his time in Rikers.

One overzealous fan doesn’t stop a show, Tony Yayo says. Earlier this week, footage of 50 Cent and G-Unit performing in Salvador, Brazil, hit the Internet. In the middle of “Ayo Technology,” a fan jumps onstage and tries to grab the G-Unit general. 50′s security and Lloyd Banks promptly subdue the fan — and the song never stops. On Tuesday (July 13), Yayo gave his take on the situation.

The ladies of “The Hills” have left their mark on pop culture. Not only were they ratings darlings, but these impeccably groomed princesses of SoCal inspired women to tune in and take notes on how to create their own California fairy tale. From their stylish jobs to their frequent shopping trips and club outings, LC, Kristin and their friends have been influencing viewers’ fashion for the past six seasons.

Lauren Conrad is set to make her return to “The Hills” when she joins her former castmates on the live aftershow, airing Tuesday (July 13), following the much-anticipated series finale. Up until her exit, viewers had spent five seasons watching as LC tried to figure out love and life in Los Angeles. Once she left, her onetime “Laguna Beach” co-star Kristin Cavallari stepped in, mixing up the lives of the “Hills” regulars. But Lo Bosworth is excited to see LC reclaim what she believes is her rightful territory.

So much drama has unfolded over six seasons of “The Hills.” In the last season alone, viewers saw Heidi Montag reveal her drastic plastic surgery makeover, Spencer Pratt begin to unravel and watched in surprise as Kristin Cavallari put herself out there, only to be rejected by ex-boyfriend Brody Jenner. But “Hills” castmate Audrina Patridge says fans should only expect more drama when the series’ farewell episode airs Tuesday night (July 13).

Back before he was the slouchy philosopher dude with questionable facial hair on “The Hills” — who could forget his sage-like proclamation that “Truth and time will tell all?” — Justin Bobby was better known as Justin Brescia, hairstylist to the stars.

Tuesday night (July 13) represents a huge moment in the history of MTV programming and reality television in general. After six seasons, “The Hills” is coming to a close with a two-hour grand-finale event, beginning at 8 p.m. on MTV. It has been a watershed program, as it first established the sort of hyper-real aesthetic that many reality shows (and a handful of fictional dramas) copied. But “The Hills” and its predecessor, “Laguna Beach,” also left their mark in the music world.
