Heidi Montag became the butt of her family’s jokes in the season premiere of The Hills on US TV last night.
The 23-year-old reality TV star went to visit her mother, sister and step-dad in Colorado to show them her new face after multiple plastic surgery procedures.
Montag’s mum Darlene appeared horrified by the results and told her daughter: “It sounds to me like you do want to look like Barbie.”
That brought an instant reaction from Montag who declared: “I do want to look like Barbie.”
Later on in the episode Heidi and her family went for dinner and continued to probe her about her motivation for getting so much work done.
Heidi’s sister Holly said: “You were always so outgoing and so confident … I was envious of the confidence you had. I don’t know what happened.”
Heidi replied: “I just wanted to be happier and couldn’t fix who I was being upset with how I looked on the outside.”
Holly then asked Heidi how her burger was, to which the blonde bombshell replied that she couldn’t chew it.
Darlene couldn’t resist one final joke, asking: “You want me to put it in a blender for you?”
It didn’t go down well and Montag had to hold back the tears as the family realised they pushed the joke too far.

Russell Brand has confirmed he is to star in a remake of Dudley Moore’s classic movie Arthur.
“I’m remaking Arthur!” an excited Brand told MTV. “I’m going to make him out of flesh I find on the subway.”
The actor says they are still casting for the other main roles for the remake, which will be directed by Jason Winer, a key figure behind US TV’s Modern Family.
“We’re casting at the moment,” said Brand, promising some exciting news.
He quipped that Liza Minnelli – who played opposite Arthur in the original movie – will reprise the role.
“She is playing the love interest,” Brand joked of the actress, now 63.
“If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. That’s my motto. Liza worked in the first film, she will work in this and any subsequent films.”
Brand also says the music – which featured Burt Bacharach-penned tunes – will also be a key link to the original.
“I think people will cover those songs from the original,” Brand told MTV.
The original movie centered on a boozy playboy who is set to inherit a fortune if he marries an heiress his family thinks will make something out of him. However, he falls in love with a working-class woman and turns to his valet for help when his family makes him choose between money and love.

According to the Nielsen ratings, the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards were watched by 27 million viewers on Sunday night. That number is up by 17% from last year. It covets the title for most watched cable show this year among audiences in the 12-34 age range and its strongest ratings since the 2005 VMAs. Since it was viewed on MTV, VH1 and MTV2, viewership significantly increased on each Viacom-owned channel and I bet that the corporate honchos are loving every bit of it. With all the drama that went down during the show and Lady Gaga’s performance and costume changes, it doesn’t really come as a surprise.
Donald Trump made a comment earlier this week for everyone to boycott rapper Kanye West for his behavior on Sunday night’s 2009 MTV VMAs. The billionaire isn’t the only one who’s been thinking that. It turns out that radio stations are dropping Kanye too. Kiss 95.1 in Florida has dropped all of the rapper’s music from their playlist already. The station’s program director has decided to pull out all of Kanye’s music off the air after he disrespected country singer Taylor Swift while she was accepting her award. The station is now asking listeners if they should keep the boycott or allow his music to play.
The All-American Rejects got busy in New York City this week starting off with a special performance of their hit single “Gives You Hell.”
They took the stage with house band Wale at MTV’s VMAs show where front man Tyson Ritter debuted a new glittery look. After rocking the proverbial house, Ritter caught up with MTV news
and confirmed the long standing rumor that he will in fact be teaming up with pop powerhouse Rihanna for a yet to be recorded track. With AAR’s stock rising by the day, it only made sense for the quartet to cap their week by ringing the opening bell for the New York Stock Exchange
The All-American Rejects’ album When The World Comes Down featuring “Gives You Hell” and “I Wanna” is in stores now. For more information visit allamericanrejects.com
