Whitney Ages Out of Teen Vogue?

Whitney Teen Vogue Cover.jpgThere’s been some talk of Whitney leaving The Hills, and her recent interview with T’s The Moment may have just confirmed it.


T’s Online Editor Jonathan Paul comes right out and asks Whitney if she’s getting “phased out” of the show. Whitney responds that it’s just a rumor, saying she’s “still going to be continuing filming”.

BUT, after being asked “what’s next” for her at the magazine, she says, “I think Amy [Astley, Teen Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief] thinks [Lauren and I] are maybe getting too old for the magazine.”

Are Lauren and Whitney getting tossed from the show like a couple of just-turned-23-year-old models? We think it’s true, but not because they’re “old” (if 22 is too mature to work at Teen Vogue, then everyone but the interns couldn’t work there.)

Rumors say Teen Vogue might be trying to distance themselves from the show - regular shots of Lauren and friends drinking and hanging around questionable guys may not fit in with the lifestyle Teen Vogue maintains within its pages.

So what would The Hills be like without the fashion closet? We have no idea, we just know we probably wouldn’t watch it anymore (especially if this rumor happens to be true).

I understand the incredible advertising and exposure that Teen Vogue saw in being on the Hills and that was clearly the reason that Lauren was hired. BUT it irritates me that a girl who when asked "can you write?" responds with a sheepish shrug, instantly win an internship. Working at a magazine like Teen Vogue is the dream of thousands of smart, talented girls that deserve the job who attend real colleges and can write, well.

I completely agree with Sarajane. FINALLY someone that understands WHY I REFUSE to even watch the show...Teen Vogue PLEASE distance yourself. Lauren did not/does not deserve that internship. It discourages all of us in the industry...

A friend who works at the magazine told me yesterday that Teen Vogue is definitely pulling out of The Hills next season, because of the drinking/making out with guys, etc. Plus, how long can anyone realistically be expected to intern? Buh-bye. Don't let The Closet door hit you on the way out.
