AN END OF AN ERA.

I just finished the series finale and this post may not properly express everything that The Hills means to me....as I am overcome with emotion.

The finale just went right to the heartstrings and when they played Jay-Z's forever young that was all I could handle....it was a beautiful moment. I started to get it together and then a remix of Natasha Bedingfield's theme song....truly beautiful.

For the interpretation of the ending scene with the Hollywood set, I am going against the grain. I think they were throwing it in all of the haters' faces who say the show was fake. You can't fake true emotion and that is all I felt at the end. Liz Gateley is a genius and she just flipped the script, it was real, passionate and raw and I loved it.

So lets run down my final thoughts on the characters.

Spencer: this was the only disappointing part for me, I think it is unfortunate that he was cut out of the show, love him or hate him you can't deny that the flesh-colored beard is entertaining.

LC: you got a little annoying toward the end of your reign, but I got nothing but love for you. You were the original and I know you had everyone's best interests at heart.

Heidi: It was sad to see the clips of her, as she really has problems. We're praying for you Heidi.

Brody: You really bugged me at times, but you can't deny the swag and your last scene with Kristin was uh mazing!

JB: "You can call me whatever the hell you want." He is a good looking man and I believe he and Audrina will be happy together for eternity.

Kristin: The B is back. Always fun and very misunderstood. I so wanted to give you a hug you looked so hurt, but you'll be good, you are smart and incredibly talented.

Audrina: What a sweetie, that's all I have to say. You are genuine and loving and you deserve the best.

Lo: Whatever.

Enzo: You looked like a stud riding that elephant at your birthday party.

Stacie: Best bartender in town.

Jason "Big Baller" Wahler: You are a man's man. I know you are going through a lot, but you'll pull through, stay strong my man.

Stephanie: I think it turns out you were kind of the glue. They tried to make you out as crazy but you were always mediating and bringing people together and you deserve some real credit.

I'll miss all of you!

Bachelorette Recap: Turkish Bath

So I must admit I wasn't a huge Ali fan during Jake's season, but I think I am officially a convert, and if I wasn't I definitely became more interested in her personality when she went to the Turkish bath.

Last week we finally got rid of Rated R, it was a long time coming especially after the fiasco of him wearing his boot on different feet during the same episode. So now the question becomes who is the favorite to win her heart and spend the rest of their life in blissful companionship and marriage with Ali.

From episode 1 I have been a Frank fan. I think he is genuine and he doesn't seem to be the typical meathead. However, I was quite disturbed at the previews showing Frank potentially breaking her heart, but I'm not going to give in to creative editing quite yet.

Here are the Free Parking Odds:

Roberto 3 to 1 (He is fine and seems to have a decent personality)

Frank 4 to 1 (Great personality but perhaps a little bit desperate)

Kirk 6 to 1 (Good looking but may be all looks)

Chris L. 12 to 1 (Fun, but not ready or mature enough for a serious relationship)

Ty 30 to 1 (The previous divorce has to raise serious red flags)

I'll be tuning in tonight for the excitement and romance!

So we were all enthralled and saddened when poor Lynne Curtin of Real Housewives of Orange County was evicted from her beautiful Laguna Beach rental and we sympathized with her shock that her husband pulled this one over on her.

What she failed to mention is that this is not her first ride on the eviction train, in fact she has been evicted three times.

Eviction No. 1, Orange County Superior Court Case No. 00CC00902:

Filed January 13, 2000, and judgment entered against Lynne on March 2, 2001. I have to give her props, eviction proceedings in California are summary proceedings the process is supposed to go as follows:

1. After tenant is late on rent you post a 3 day notice to pay or quit the premises

2. If tenant does not pay or vacate you file an unlawful detainer (fancy legalese for eviction) complaint in Court

3. Tenant has 5 days to respond

4. If tenant does not respond then landlord can file a request to enter default judgment, if tenant responds then landlord must file a request to set case for trial

5. Court is obligated under California law to set the case for trial within 20 calendar days

Somehow Lynne was able to draw out the proceedings for well over a year, which means she didn't pay a dime of rent for at least 16 months. Well done. Well done.

The landlord's attorney was Dennis P. Block & Associates which is a well known eviction firm, but this was not their best effort letting this squatter hang around for more than a year.

Eviction No. 2, Orange County Superior Court Case No. 07SL00736; Mercury Manzano v. Lynne Curtin:

Filed 2/9/07, and judgment entered against Lynne on 3/5/07 after a Court Trial. Plaintiff's attorney was another well known eviction lawyer John Bouzane, who did a nice job obtaining judgment in less than a month.

Lynne and her husband Frank seem to have quite the relationship with this Mercury Manzano as another case was filed by, one Mercury Manzano, against them in Riverside County in which a judgment was obtained for failing to repay hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans. Let's just say I feel for Mercury Manzano. Either Lynne and her husband Frank are very convincing or Mercury is not exactly Warren Buffett.

Eviction No. 3, Orange County Superior Court Case No. 30-2009-00249269; Marianne J. Moy v. Lynne Curtin:

Filed 3/4/09, and judgment entered against Lynne on 4/22/09 in the amount of $13,480. This was the high profile eviction as televised on Bravo as Lynne's daughters were served with the eviction papers. Lynne put on a great display of shock as if she could not believe she could possibly be evicted, but as we see above it was quite an act.

Plaintiff's attorney was Kimball, Tirey & St. Johns yet another well known eviction firm. Lynne has now been sued by three of the main eviction firms in SoCal, all she needs is two more evictions by David Endres and Randall Naiman and she will officially have been evicted by all high-volume eviction attorneys in SoCal. Now that would be quite an achievement.

One word of advice to future landlords of the Curtins: PREPAY!

Anyone Want To Invest In Real Estate Development?

Real Estate Tycoons Frank & Lynne Curtin are in a bit of hotwater again, this time judgment has been entered against them in Riverside County in the amount of 1.26 million for failure to repay "loans" made to them for real estate development investments.

The case is Mercury Manzano v. Frank Curtin, Lynne Curtin and Christopher Curtin, Riverside Superior Court Case No. RIC474089.

Manzano sued the Curtins for Breach of Contract; Common Counts and Fraud. Some of the allegations from the complaint:

- On May 31, 2005, Manzano lent Christopher Curtin $150,000, the loan was memorialized with a promissory note.

- On October 1 2005, Manzano lent Frank Curtin $500,000, the loan was memorialized with a promissory note.

- On January 1, 2006, Manzano lent Frank Curtin $200,000, the loan was memorialized with a promissory note.

- On September 1, 2006, Manzano lent Frank & Lynne Curtin $517,500, the loan was memorialized by a note and a deed of trust secured by property located at 2861 Chateau Way, Laguna Beach, CA.

- On September 1, 2006, Manzano lent Frank & Lynne Curtin $600,000, the loan was memorialized by a note and a deed of trust secured by property located at 21 Vista De La Luna, Laguna Beach, CA.

The Curtins failed to repay any of the notes and the Plaintiff was forced to foreclose the 2 Laguna Beach properties losing $150,000 on Chateau Way and $175,000 on Vista De La Luna.

So once the dust had settled the Curtins ran away with $1,175,000.

In the fraud claims the Plaintiff alleged that at the time the loans were made the Curtins never had any intention of repaying them and that they have engaged in similar fraudulent conduct in the past.

Another classic quote from the lawsuit "The Curtins held themselves out as experienced contractors and developers of residential properties."

Manzano won his lawsuit and now holds a 1.26 million dollar judgment against the Curtins. Lynne is going to have to sell a lot of cuffs to pay that back but it may not ever come to that as I smell a bankruptcy coming.....stay tuned.
