It’s only been a few months since we last saw snuggle buddies Kristin and Justin chillin' in The Bu, but we’re uber-excited to head back to Hollyweird and check in with our friends (they are our friends, right?). Here, the top five reasons we’re itching for The Hills to come back on.

5. Audrina and K-Cav acted like BFFs at the Super Bowl’s Maxim party, so does this mean we can expect them to team up and do some bonding male bashing?

4. Rumor has it, Jayde spent the off season training with China (kidding!). Still, we do hope she decides to make a badass return, with or without rumored beau Adrian Grenier.

3. Is there any chance that Kristin and Justin are still dating? Ooh, maybe he found out about Mark Sanchez...

2. 'Drina's been canoodling with rockstar Ryan Cabrera all over town. We hope he becomes a mainstay on the show, cuz Justin shouldn't be the only guy on The Hills sporting leathers.

1. At the end of last season, Heidi fessed up to being a sperm hijacker and signed a peace accord with Spence to stick her maternal needs on the back burner. But did she change her mind over the break? Lotsa interesting things have been known to happen during the striving pop diva's downtime.

Did we miss anything? What/who are you most excited about seeing? Sound off in the comments.

• Super Bowl spies say Kristin Cavallari left Maxim's Miami par-tay with Jets' quarterback Mark Sanchez, presumably to discuss their common interests: tight pants and playing the field. (NYDN)

• Meanwhile, K-Cav showed off her latest splurge (a gazillion dollar handbag) and reminded us all that you're not a real woman til "you buy your first Chanel!" Take that, children! (Now Magazine)

• Paris Hilton stepped up her one-woman campaign to become Mrs. Doug Reinhardt last weekend, when she accidentally-on-purpose referred to Doug's sis Casey as "my future sister-in-law." Subtle, P! (The Hollywood Gossip)

• Audrina Patridge denied evil web reports that she suffered a Janet Jackson-esque "wardrobe malfunction" at the Super Bowl festivities. (Hollywood Life, Twitter)

• Holly Montag's got some bizarro new tattoo! (HuffPo)

What's the best part about Super Bowl Sunday? For bookies, bartenders and football fans, it's all about the big game (duh). For the rest of us, it's some combination of outré ads and extra cheesy bean dip. But for a whole lotta celebs -- like LL Cool J, Kevin Connolly and Nick Lachey -- the Super Bowl's all about the party circuit. And at this year's Maxim bash (Saturday night, in Miami), no one made a bigger splash than the cast of The Hills.

So what made their entrance so killer? Well, in addition to looking gorge on the red carpet (as usual!), the girls turned heads by putting their past awkwardness aside and laughing it up like a bunch of old friends. Case in point? Kristin Cavallari, who smiled gamely while throwing her arms around one-time nemesis Audrina Patridge!

+ Think this means 'Drina and Kristin have finally turned a corner (and quit fighting over Justin Bobby)? We're not sure, but for now, we're just enjoying the peace n' quiet! Anyhow, check out these shots of Audristin(!) posing with Lo, Steph, Brody and Frankie Sat night, then let us know if you think they're done feudin' for real.

Is it just us, or do those Hills gals sure love getting pampered? First, Audrina Patridge tweets about her "girly" day (of "hair, nails and facials,") then Stephanie Pratt shows off her windblown/goddess mane outside Anastasia Salon (pictured above).

Truth is, we've seen all the ladies gettin' their groom on over the years (what?! it's a chick thing!), but one golden gal seems to hit up the stylist seat more than all the others combined. We are, of course, talking about Laguna native Kristin Cavallari, who keeps herself lookin' Legally Blonde with biweekly trips to the salon. Below, see Kristin flaunt her follicle superiority after three recent visits. Now there's a gal who gets her beauty rest!

Not everyone can pull off the hot pink minidress -- but when Kristin Cavallari threw on this poppin' bubble gown, she burned up the red carpet! In fact, the entire look is smokin'. From the neon accents on her heels to the bubbalicious lipstick, K-Cav's singlehandedly bringin' the hubba hubba back to Hollywood. Check out these shots of the Hillzie steamin' up the scene at the When In Rome premiere and tell us whether you're also diggin' her Legally Blonde-esque ensemble.

Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari recently admitted they have a soft spot for Jersey Shore. And while Whitney Port's no stranger to Seaside Heights herself (she told her Twit fam Vinny's her fave cast member), she's even more excited about MTV's newest show: The Buried Life.

"This past week I had the opportunity to meet and hang out with the boys from The Buried Life. Ben, Dave, Jonnie, and Duncan," the City star wrote on her website. "They are so sweet and beyond ambitious. I am so excited to watch [their show]! They have me thinking about my own bucket list!"

(Hey, us, too!)

Glad to see you're so on board with The B. Life, Whit. If you ever want a job blogging 'bout the show, let us know! Just please, please promise you'll stay away from our boyfriend, BenDaveJonnieDuncan. (Sorry, lady -- he's taken!)

Lauren Conrad may not be keeping up with Kristin Cavallari and The Hills -- but the former reality star says she hasn't missed a single episode of Jersey Shore!

"I love it," she told UsMagazine.com last weekend. "We [had a doubleheader] last night and it was the highlight of my week. It was awesome," she gushed, giving a special shout-out to Ronnie (and his right hook). "[H]e's all, 'one shot kid.' And the guy [from the boardwalk] is out!"

So does that mean Ron Ron's her favorite J. Shore cast member? Well, according to LC, she's also partial to JWOWW ("I really like [her] just because she can throw a punch."). But -- unlike Kristin (who says she's Mike's number one fan) -- Lauren's just not sure she's feelin' the Sitch.

"I have a love-hate [relationship] with The Situation," she told Us. "I'm like, 'you are not that cool, but then I am like, 'Uuugh you are so entertaining!'"

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.

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!
