In the midst of Wahler's growing arrest record and legal troubles (he's set to serve 60 days in jail for his attack in LA and must turn himself in by May 4) there's now the problem of a sex tape. Reps for SugarDVD.com through TMZ, report that they have been contacted by a third party who are looking to sell a sex tape featuring Wahler and ex-girlfriend, LC (aka Lauren Conrad), star of both The Hills and Laguna Beach. Though Ms. Conrad emphatically denies the tape's existence, Wahler's rep will neither confirm or deny, and PerezHilton.com claims to have exclusive knowledge that it exists, detailing unsavory inside info about Ms. Conrad.

Lauren, who's had to weather a storm or two, is probably working overtime to repair the damage that's being done by these latest rumors, not to mention the drama of the final episodes of this season's The Hills, chronicling the demise of her friendship with co-star and once BFF Heidi Montag. The two were roommates, but Heidi's moved out to live with her universally hated boyfriend Spencer Pratt, while LC's moved in with her friend Audrina Patridge. There was some scandal about Heidi and and LC not actually living together this past season due to their crumbling friendship and were instead shooting at a separate location to give the appearance that they were still roommates - but really, who cares.

From a sociological standpoint, I find these shows wonderful examples of how far our society had declined. If watching privileged teenagers party, engage in promiscuous sex, waste their parents money and stab each other in the back is entertainment, then we are at an all-time low. We all know that teenagers are living examples of how deeply flawed our species really is. Is it really necessary to create a false pretense of reality so we can showcase these "missing links" as they navigate aimlessly from the innocence of childhood to their empty lives as adults.

I think it would be overkill to mention my theory on how instant fame has the inevitable consequence of turning a relative nobody to a completely useless somebody.
