Laguna Beach is one of my guitly pleasures, i hate to admit it but i've kind of been addicted ever since my uncle bought me the season 1 dvd... Hi girlfriend actually works with Dieter, well he works in the mail room loll. That last pic of jessica is sooo nasty tho she used to be one of my faves but that's just really gross and sluty
Scoop from Eonline.
It Is Real...Kinda, Sorta: This "dramality" is real in the sense that the these are actual high school students and what we see is actually happening in their lives. What's not so real, according to show insiders, is how, where and when these things go down. Believe it or not, the castmembers only "work" Thursday through Sunday (How do I get on this show?), so important "scenes" are often delayed and then set up by producers to make sure they're caught on film.
A few key examples: The now infamous bonfire scene where Jessica first sees Alex M. and Jason together was completely orchestrated by producers. Before the bonfire, the crew spent hours lighting the beach and the mountains in the background before the kids were allowed to interact with each other. When Jason finally arrived, they told him how to enter the scene and where to go. Similarly, the big confrontation in Cabo between Jessica and Alex M. was specifically planned for that night. Producers saw the situation and knew Alex M. would confront Jessica, so they instructed her not to go off on her "man-stealing sl*t"/calling-the-kettle-black tirade until the cameras were ready.
My spies tell me most of the scenes with the guys or girls talking about a specific dishy subject (like Kristin telling Alex H. how she makes guys like Talan fall in love with her; or Alex M. and Taylor bitching about Kacy; and again, not that I watch this show) are coached by producers. They light the scene, get the cameras rolling, then say, "Talk about why Alex is so mad at you" or "Talk about why Kristin is such a b*tch."
This off-camera coaching is actually the reason we often see castmembers laughing when they talk about serious situations. (Kristin, in particular, does it a lot.) They've just been instructed on what to talk about, and it just feels...odd.
The Castmembers Are Bona Fide Celebrities: If the picture at right is any indication, these kids have become big-time A-listers on the Hollywood party circuit. Just ask our Party Girl, they're always on the list. Not only are the LB kids hangin' with Paris and Nicole and Lindsay these days, they can go anywhere and everywhere they want, no matter their age and how many people they bring, and, of course, it's all free.
Most of the castmembers are now living in L.A., partying and pursuing Hollywood dreams with their managers, agents and publicists. While Alex M. is meeting this very week with a few record companies, including Atlantic Records, the rest are trying to become actors, including Kristin, a d v e r t i s e m e n t
who told me at a recent Us Weekly party, "I wanna do movies. It's been going pretty well. I'm reading some scripts right now and taking acting classes, so it's in the process."
[Dishy side note: Kristin is repped by the same publicist as Lindsay Lohan, and my sources tell me the story Kristin told Rolling Stone--about Lindsay flipping out when she saw Kristin in Talan's bed--is 100 percent true. It happened last spring, so these kids have been mixing with the Hollywood crowd for a long time now.]
All this Hollywood hoopla hasn't exactly been welcomed by the producers, who have fought tooth and nail--with increased pay and exclusivity contracts--to keep these regular kids from becoming stars, since it ruins the original concept of the show. And now they have a serious dilemma on their hands because...
They Are Planning a Third Season: Show insiders tell me producers are currently negotiating their individual contracts for season three and have to figure out how to shoot another season, given that their current cast have all graduated and are bed-hopping their way into Us Weekly. I'm told they're toying with the idea of introducing a few new kids that are seniors this year (they're casting now), but ultimately, the show will focus on the current cast, living in Los Angeles, and will pop back into Laguna from time to time. They'll try to focus on the drama that doesn't involve Hollywood or Lindsay or Paris. So, expect a lot of teeth brushing and butt scratching.
There Are Storylines You Don't See: Even though we've never seen it on the show, Stephen and Jason are actually good friends. So much so that Stephen is perfectly fine with the fact that Jason and Stephen's former flame LC have been getting, um, cozy, from time to time (I'm guessing because he still has the hots for Kristin).
The Kids Aren't as Wealthy as They're Made Out to Be: Word is, one of the castmembers actually lives in a trailer park, and most of the castmembers live fairly middle-income existences (at least by O.C. standards). That said, LC and Kristin are seriously loaded. So loaded, in fact, that according to my spies, they're somewhat competitive--when LC's family built that humongous house overlooking the Pacific, Kristin's family felt the need to follow suit.
Bottom line, just as its theme song suggests, Laguna Beach might not be all it seems and "perfect" might not be so "perfect"...but damn, if it isn't so totally addictive, mind-numbingly entertaining that this die-hard fan will be watching every minute of it.
There. I said it. Me--a fan. Live with it.

^it looks better on sheryl crow! lol
Oh Pooh. Now that I read that EOnline article, I'm gonna have trouble watching Laguna without wondering what the directors are whispering in their ears.
Plus, they're pursuing Hollywood careers? That totally ruins the 'almost-everyday-average-teens' thing that attracted me to the show in the first place. Now they're just Lohan Wannabes...shame

I actually think that Casey looks better in the dress....she looks healthier and very curvy (in a cute way) though it is too sl*tty for the prom.
I think Sheryl Crow is too thin and bony for the dress. IMO, she looks gaunt and almost like an old-lady. All the ribs and bones are kinda creepy

completely agreed.
it is too much for a prom dress... it's like a park avenue sl*t look.

I totally agree....except I didn't think the dress was too sl*tty or "too much" for prom. When I was in high school, prom was basically a black tie event, and I was surprised at how casual everyone in Laguna took it, the guys were wearing sneakers, and the girls' dresses were something you wear on any given weekend--nothing special. Kacy's was the only outfit that got me excited.
And when did Lindsay find Kristin in Talans bed???
So they had sex???!Oh and another thing, I am surprised at how the Laguna kids are allowed to get drunk right on camera......on mtv's other reality shows, cast members aren't allowed to do anything "illegal", i.e. drugs or underage drinking. but Ive noticed them getting drunk several times.....nothing new, Im just surprised Mtv condoned it.
purexelegance said:sure jessica is a bit immature,
but you didn't realize that alex came on to JASON when jessica and jason were still DATING?!? is that a nice thing to do?!? noooo
what a sl*t.
Yup.....Alex is a huuuge hypocrite. Just like at prom time when she told that girl "I could care less what Jason does", but prom night, she had her arms LOCKED around his neck, she is stupid, cuz she obviously wasn't good enough to be his date.
he only decided to hook-up with her because he knew she would "give him some" and the sophmore girl probably wouldn't.julesrules815

kristin said she was resting on his bed, i don't think they had sex. but you never know...
also, they don't show them drinking on the camera. actually you see them holding solos sometimes. but they are not allowed to say "drunk" on camera or something, b/c they always say "i wasn't in the right state of mind"

from defamer:
And just because it’s Friday afternoon and you’ve been so well behaved all week, here’s a possibly stale link to a nipple slip from a Laguna Beach cast member (NSFW). Don’t say we never did nothin’ for ya.
also, there is an article on talan in the november issue of teen vogue!

^ go to http://www.mtv.com/onair/laguna_beach/season2/episode_guide/ and go to the episode you want. then click on the "laguna music" tab. go to itunes (if you can) and look up each of the songs and listen to them. then you can tell if it is the song you are looking for! sounds complicated, but thats what i do!
