If you ever spot your teen idol in a bar in Silverlake, think twice before asking her if you can buy her a drink unless you want your image of her to be shattered. #LAproblems #amiright</p> <p class="ext-rw" id="p76">As a teen, I developed a cultish obsession with reruns of a TV show called <i>The Hills Have PIs</i>, a faux-reality mystery about two teenage sisters/teen stars (played by real-life sisters/teen stars Olivia and Gemma Hill) attending high school in Hollywood and investigating a series of suspicious events surrounding the disappearances of several classmates. It’s sort of like <i>Twin Peaks</i> meets <i>Veronica Mars</i> set in LA, but filmed like it’s a documentary à la <i>The Office</i>. The show first aired in 2001, and ran for two seasons, but was canceled before the overarching mystery was resolved. Gemma Hill signed on for another season, but Olivia Hill refused due to her distress over the disappearance of the youngest Hill sister, Miranda (not on the show). Among fans, it’s been speculated that Miranda’s disappearance was a publicity stunt staged to increase <i>The Hills Have PIs</i>’ ratings, but it’s been fifteen years and Miranda Hill remains a gone girl.</p> <p class="ext-rw" id="p77">Which brings me to Liv Hendricks, aka Olivia Hill. While Gemma went on to climb her way up the alphabet toward A-list status (she hovers around a B+), Olivia dropped out of the spotlight for so long that most people forgot about her.</p> <p class="ext-rw" id="p78">But not me.</p> <p class="ext-rw" id="p79">When I saw her last night, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to tell her how much I’d loved <i>THHPI</i>. And, yes, I will admit that as a contributing blogger for <i>LA Femme</i>, I thought I might squeeze an interview out of her. Let me assure you, it was not my intention to get her wasted and then film our conversation. Maybe a part of her wanted this to happen. She clearly had some things to get off her chest.</p> </div> <h6 id="h71">Watch Video </h6> <img alt="" src="../Images/play_button_print_online.jpg" style="width: 16px; height: 16px;"/><h6 id="h64"> </h6> <h6 id="h62">Comments</h6> <div class="block-rw dialogue-rw " id="dialogue1"> <p id="p80"><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">1NeverApologize</span></b> And the Crazy Bitch Award goes to…<i>3 minutes ago</i></p> <p id="p81"><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">MCrush</span></b> OMG!
