Blogstress Update

Breaking News! I lost my job today-- not as a result of this blog, but due to downsizing and my marketing position being taken over by automated processes. So, what does that mean for the blog? At first, it'll mean more time for me to post hot news about the Laguna kids. And secondly, it means that the little Amazon.com donations box down and to the right is more important than ever. I'm not begging or anything, I'm just saying that since I have some extra free time on my hands, maybe I should go out to L.A. and LB to do some research...so donate away, and I'll bring back some superhot news. Or, I may just use it to buy some extra-hot lattes at Starbucks.

Anyway, I just thought that in the midst of updating you about the lives of people none of us really know, I'd pause to briefly update you on me.

XOXO

Laguna Media Bonanza!!!!

Okay, maybe not a bonanza, but I had to make do SOMETHING to distract people from the whole Spawn Of Brangelina story that is breaking right now. On a totally non-Laguna note, I'm on Team Aniston.

ANYWAY-- enjoy these links to video (oooooh, multimedia!) of Kristin's Letterman appearance and a MadTV spoof of Laguna Beach called "Laguna Biotch".

Vegas, Baby


Kristin mentioned last night on Letterman that she spent New Year's Eve in Vegas with her boyfriend. An awkward exchange followed, with Dave joking that there's gambling in Vegas and K-Cav repeating her "I had no ideeeeeaaaaaaaaaaa" refrain to (minimal) sarcastic effect. Anyway, Trent has some snapshots of Kristin's Vegas Vacation up today. Clearly, although she said she couldn't gamble because she's under 21, she definitely didn't pay attention to ALL of the age laws of Nevada.

More Bad News


From the Watch With Kristin chat over at E! Online:


"Are Jason and LC from Laguna Beach really together?

Wait, hang on, let me channel my other Kristin (Cavalleri)...Yes. They are very much together! In fact, they were spotted recently in the elevator at the West Hollywood Target being smoochy and cuddly. Apparently, she was kind of babying him, cooing and ahhing, then she stepped into celeb mode and put on her sunglasses to head to the (indoor) store."

As always, ick.

Top Ten

Well, it wasn't terrible. And it wasn't totally awkward. But you have to know that an interview isn't going to be great when the following things happen:

  • During his opening monologue, Dave pronounces your first name "Kristina".
  • During your interview, your stick earring gets caught in your (slightly stiff) updo, and you appear to be attempting to shake it loose.
  • A little later in the interview, when Dave says: "So, let's look at a clip" you respond (repeatedly) with "Really? I had no idea" ...and then he realizes that there is no clip of your new UPN show "Get This Party Started", and awkward silences ensue.

And now, in homage to Dave Letterman, may I present...

The Top 10 Things I Learned About Kristin Cavallari On The Late Show

10. She had a 3.6 GPA her junior year and a 3.0 GPA her senior year. She blames the show.
9. K-Cav didn't like the portrayal-- she said they made her look like a bitch.
8. What happens in Cabo doesn't necessarily stay in Cabo. Her explanation of spring break? "You go to the beach and tan...and then you go to sleep at night"
7. Her second explanation of what happens in Cabo: "Everyone is up on the bar dancing. And trhe drinking age is 18 down there so I got up on the bar and danced. "
6. Her dad is not a huge fan of the show. Why? See No. 7
5. According to Dave she's "trying to be an actress...throwing some parties."
4. She "went to college for about two weeks, and then got this show, so no more college."
3. She spent her 19th birthday in Ohio filming. Shockingly, she didn't seem thrilled about it.
2. The girl's stylist has some SERIOUS double-stick tape. Her dress was pretty, black and PLUNGING.
1. Episode one of "Get This Party Started" throws a party for Katrina victims from New Orleans who were evacuated to Baton Rouge.

All in all, I think she did well. Yes, there were some awkward moments, but those almost seemed to be Dave's fault more than hers. Lots of nervous laughter, but that's to be expected when the host begins your interview with "So, what...You went to high school on TV or somethin'?" I'm scouring the internet for pictures, and will post them as soon as I find 'em!
