The Hills goes UK style

Cult American tv show the Hills is going to be re-made London style!
Celebrity Blog site Perez Hilton revealed on April 1st that MTV had held it's auditions for the UK version of the "reality" show.
According to the casting site they're looking for 18-21 year olds with striking looks, an aspirational lifestyle and be a "passionate follower" of fashion, art, music, film, literature or partying/clubbing.
So only the hot and loaded need apply!
suey_xo writing on the live journal community does not seen happy about MTV's plan:
"any Ukers watch(ed) living on the edge, or whatever that UK version of laguna beach (the show to which the Hills is a spin off) was called?...i managed to watch one episode but it was torture..i can already imagine how bad this is going to be."
In The UK the TV show, billed as being a real look at the lives of the rich in LA features a disclaimer telling the audience "some scenes in this show may have been created for entertainment purposes." It has been claimed that the cast's jobs, homes and relationships are in fact given to them by MTV! Do we need kids in the UK to look up to people who have been given their jobs because they've agreed to be filmed for a TV show?!
