Cast of "The Hills" Fairly Certain Newcomer is an Alien

By Greg Sidor

The cast of the hit MTV show "The Hills" expressed concern Sunday that new cast member Tyler Orion may in fact be an extra-terrestrial.

While producers insist Tyler is another addition from the affluent community of Laguna Beach, star Heidi Montag became suspicious of Orion during the first week of shooting the current season.

"He didn't know about any of the hot spots in L.A., like H'Wood or Hyde. When I told him we were going to The Saddle Ranch, he asked if he should bring along his surgical tools," Montag said.

Producer Lucy Plaza said she attributes Orion's awkward debut to nothing more than the jitters.

"Tyler isn't a club kid. He's got real goals and is trying to fit that into the lifestyle he sees around him on Earth - and Hollywood, specifically," she explained.

Spencer Pratt, known for causing controversy on the show, was injured after getting in a bar fight with Orion.

"He was macking on my girl Heidi," Pratt said, "so I stepped up and asked what was going on. Next thing I know, I'm down on the ground - paralyzed - and he's screaming some crazy Spanish or something," Pratt said.

Orion himself says it was nothing more than self-defense.

"Fellow human Spencer displayed signs of aggression regarding my attempts to communicate with life form Heidi. The music was bangin' and I just wanted to party, so I diffused the situation," Orion said on the after-show.

While Orion's first few weeks on the show have been rough, many expect him to stay on and pursue a budding romance with Audrina Patridge.

"You appear fertile," Orion said in the latest episode. "I may require your assistance after we achieve intoxication."

Alien or not, MTV expects the out-of-this-world ratings to continue.
