Please no!! Say it ain’t so!! Is Whitney Port getting the big job at Diane von Furstenburg just a shameless ploy for MTV to garner more ratings from The Hills spin-off? The City hasn’t even premiered yet (it does tonight and I am SO pumped), but it is already getting critical attention from sources close to Whitney.

One of the aspects that the show is reportedly over-embellishing is Port’s job at Diane von Furstenburg’s fashion design company — which is allegedly the entire reason that Port relocated to New York.� “She doesn’t really work. She is hardly ever in the office,”� a source told the Post of Port and her position at the fashion company.

The source also added that some of von Furstenburg’s other employees haven’t been able to�do part of�their work because of the new MTV show’s requirements that the staffers keep the office looking the same for continuity’s sake during re-shoots.� “[Other employees] can’t get their work done because MTV tells them they can’t move any thing at their work stations. They do so many re-shoots that everything has to look exactly the same every day,” the source told the Post.

This could just a be a batch of untrue rumors from people looking to make a buck… or it could be a really smart move by MTV to milk the ratings giant The Hills for all it’s worth. However, I find it really hard to believe that a prestigious company like DVF would allow stuff like this to happen that could discredit their work.

Who knows the truth… But what I do know is that I will be tuning in tonight and giving you all the major dish tomorrow!
