She's (almost) always on the list

Toying with Love and Videogames

Ever since he pinched Audrina Patridge's nipples in Malibu, I haven't been the biggest fan of Justin Bobby. But I thought if the Hills cutie wants a bad boy, let her have him. Lately, however, it seems as though Audrina isn't sure what she wants.

Last night, Audrina partied with BFF Lauren "L.C." Conrad at Maxim's launch of Assassin's Creed at Opera. While guests tried their hand at Ubisoft's new videogame, the two babes sipped p.i.n.k. vodka cocktails with Desperate Housewives pal Shawn Pyfrom. Justin was at the party but didn't hang with his quasi-girlfriend.

Instead, he attempted to go incognito with a large scarf around his head, while Audrina flirted it up with hunky model Tyson Paige.

I tried to inquire if we'd see a new fling on next week's episode, but of course the drama is required to stay on the DL.

Also in secret mode was host of the night Kristen Bell. The latest Hero lent her voice to a character in the new game but won't tell what her special powers entail.

"It’s a pretty big part," Kristen teased. "They had to scan my face, so the character looks just like me." She partied through the night with her Heroes costar Masi Oka, who'd like to be able to use his onscreen powers to end the heated writers' strike.

"I wish I really had Heroes powers and [could] go forward in time," he only partly jested. "If you can go forward and come back and let everyone know this is what you agreed on in the future! Let's just cut to the chase and agree on it now, so we have no heartache!"

How sweet. If only it were that easy.
