Overserved and Underage?

LA.com had a hot item about LC's friend Heidi Montag (Who, by the way, is somewhat un-Google-able)...Anyone have any info on her? Share the wealth! Here's what LA.Com has to say...

"Underage Shenanigans
Cast members on MTV's reality show "Laguna Beach" have used the show as a stepping stone to launch careers most would kill for. Lauren Conrad (AKA LC) scored herself a job at Vogue, Kristin Cavallari stars in UPN's "Get the Party Started" and Talan Torriero seems to have become Kimberly Stewart's fulltime man whore. Even Heidi Montag, who dreamed of becoming a stage actress, now gets a paycheck from LA nightclub promoter Brent Bolthouse. Never mind that she's not old enough to enter his venues legally. Her job now guarantees that she and her coterie of friends get into the best clubs, including Lobby Supper Club where they rang in the New Year. MTV's cameras for the "Laguna Beach" spin-off show "The Hills" have been following the cast's adventures in LA. But we wonder if the program will air Montag's pals getting drunk on NYE. A clubster at the Lobby told us he saw the reality stars drinking alcohol before LC had a big blowout with her boyfriend Jason Wahler and stormed out."

Fights between LC and Jason? Underage drinking? Blatant vapidity? Let The Hills countdown begin!

K-Cav On Set

Over at the Television Without Pity message boards, a poster writes in with the following firsthand account of Kristin's Veronica Mars guest stint:

"I did extra work on Veronica Mars this past week and Kristin was filming some of her scenes. She seems like a nice girl, I had to stand next to her off camera for a couple minutes. We laughed at a couple things and briefly chatted about Orange County. I couldn't tell if she was just nervous since it was her first day or she's just snobby. The last scene we had to shoot she kind of kept looking around to see if any of us were looking at her, which we weren't. And she had to eat with us and the crew outside which I found amusing. Her acting is ok, she does that over enunciating thing and she isn't too familiar with how the camera works but with some more lessons she should be fine."

Makeout Alert!



Looks like Laguna fans have a new terrible twosome on our hands. Forget Jason and LC-- Us Magazine's VIP Scene reports that Alex M. and Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys were spotted making out at the Sutra Lounge in Costa Mesa, California. Think Bai Ling (Nick's reported girlfriend) minds?

Kristin In Teen People




Just Jared has some pictures from Kristin's Teen People shoot. Compared to the look below, she looks super classy, and actually kind of approachable. Apparently, the shoot was for the cover, which makes the second teen magazine cover that Kristin has landed...Pretty impressive for a "reality star". Think the tide is turning towards Team Kristin?

Ringing In The 2K6 With Unfortunate Fashion Choices

Looks like the Laguna kids are doing their best to start 2006 off the way they ended 2005...on the worst dressed lists.

Here's a picture of Kristin wearing a really cute shirt. Oh-- wait...what? Ohhhh, I get it. Apparently, the kids these days are wearing dresses so short they're easily confused with shirts. Clearly, K-Cav is on top of (but barely covered by) the trend:



Kristin's former lovahhh, Talan, also makes unfortunate fashion choices. Hmmm...Maybe in addition to long walks on the beach, awkward conversation and shrimp cocktails, K-Cav and our favorite Karmic scholar shared "how not to dress" tips...



The Fug Girls offered the following observation:

"Talan, Talan, Talan, Talan, Talan. You really do seem like a nice kid. And I am very glad you realized that marrying Kimberly Stewart after knowing her for two weeks was probably not the smartest decision you ever made in your young life.
Unfortunately, neither was this jacket.
I get where you're going with it, I do. But it's a little...Allegedly Sexually Threatening European Tennis Pro In An 80s Teen Movie, don't you think? I feel like it calls for some very short, tight white shorts, copiuous chest hair, and a mustache. None of which you have. And thank God, really. And since you don't appear to be planning on getting a job at the club in order to leer at nubile yet surprisingly-flabby-in-retrospect teens sporting crimped hair, terry cloth headbands and high-waisted pants, let's leave this jacket out of the equation, too, shall we?"

5...4...3...Ewwww...1

Yes, despite Hollister's best efforts, Jason and LC are still going strong, as evidenced by this picture of them kissing at midnight on New Year's Eve. If I weren't so grossed out by his hideous polyester patterned shirt, I MIGHT think it was sweet.

Season One Cast Update



If you're a TRUE old-school Laguna fan, you'll remember Christina Schuller from Season One of LB. She was a virgin, had a disastrous audition for a Broadway casting director and had her own Two Non-Blondes clique with fellow chastity belt model Morgan. In addition to all of these charming traits (and possibly related to the whole declaration of virginity on national TV) Christina's father and grandfather are the pastors at the Crystal Cathedral, a HUGE church in California that broadcasts its services on Sunday mornings. News reports are coming out that Christina's dad, Robert A. Schuller, will be taking over as head pastor for the church. Maybe this means that Christina will drop out of SMU and become choir director! Okay, probably not-- but how great a spinoff would that make? Forget LC and "The Hills"...Christina and "The Pews" would be super-hot.

Getting The Party Started With Kristin


Bricks and Stones has these pictures of Kristin shooting her new show for UPN, "Get The Party Started". K-Cav looks cute-- she's definitely looking like she lost some weight-- not that she needed to. Seeing the show participants get taken to Scoop to go shopping has started the wheels in my head turning...Anyone have suggestions on what kind of party I should have thrown for me? Fake birthday? Congratulations on your new-ish job? Happy Mardi Gras? Y'all enjoy the pictures...and send some suggestions of parties my way in the comments.
