Natasha Bedingfield Ditches 'The Hills' Grills

Oh Natasha Bedingfield, how we love your lyrical confections and your ill-fitting red shades. First the theme song to The Hills; then more sweet melodies (that also play incessantly in between scenes on the MTV hit).

Wearing a 'Vanity is Fair' t-shirt (is it really fair, Natasha? Is it really?), the British pop star prepares to depart from LAX on a sunny Los Angeles day (Friday).

Could she have been in town to hang out with Lauren, Audrina, Whitney and the gang? We can only muse over illusions of montage sequences (set to Natasha's music, of course) of she and the gals picking out each other 's outfits at the Fred Segal, giggling over some Pinkberry afterward, sharing makeup for an after party at Les Deux and collectively holding Lauren's hair as she barfs in the hot spot's bathroom toilet.

In honor of her visit, we thought we'd close out with a snippet of her profound lyrics:

...Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live you life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten....
