When Laguna Beach was on the air, I felt like the biggest loser for being utterly obsessed with the show and all the characters. I am 26, yet I cannot get enough of the drama that is produced from 18-year-olds who use the words "like" and "gnarly" every other second. Now that the show is over, I have no excuse to still be following them and trying to get as much gossip as I possibly can....
So when I got this email today from a friend of a friend of a friend, I nearly fell off my chair in excitement. This is the email that had me hanging on every last fucking word:
I went to lunch yesterday with my sister and her friend J. J happens to work for Oprah. The other day, she was in the Harpo studios cafeteria getting breakfast, when lo and behold, there they were - Kristin, Jessica,Alex H. Alex M. and Taylor. Turns out they went to school with one of Harpo's marketing assistants and were there as her guests for the show. J is a huge fan and was freaking out a bit (and she doesn't even freak out over celebrities!) and the marketing director said she would have the Laguna Beach girls stop by her office before they left. So, there they were, the LB girls and J which gave J a chance to ask some pressing questions........here is the scoop:
Jessica is not very smart (duh!) nor very pretty in person. She is in community college and not doing a whole lot. J asked her if her parents were mortified by her behavior - she said they weren't exactly pleased. She just used Jeff (boy that was at end of season)- didn't really like him, just wanted someone to make out with. Stephen and Jason are good friends and live together in LA, but Jason is always at L.C's.
Turns out he and LC never broke up and are still dating. Also, turns out Jason has some MAJOR issues - the reason he didn't go to graduation.......he didn't graduate. He failed his senior year. Ditto for Talan. More on Jason - he has been in and out of rehab about 3 times in the past year. He is also bipolar and is on some major medication. His grandparents are the wealthy ones and his parents don't really work- just live off of the grandparents.
More on Talan - his mom used to be some actress so is pretty well-connected in Hollywood. The engagement to Kimberly Stewart is just a publicity stunt - they aren't really engaged. His mom is trying to coach him on getting himself into the limelight. Stephen and Kristin are dating - they just got back from a vacation together in Hawaii - she's not really dating that Jenner guy - another publicity stunt. Kristin is trying to "make it" in Hollywood.
Taylor is at school at the University of Arizona. Alex H. and Alex M. are roommates. Alex M. is trying to make it in the music world and Alex H. dates a guy in Alex M.'s backup band. Another tidbit - Jason used to hit (ie, abuse) Alex M. when they dated. Per Alex M., the reason you didn't see that in the show is b/c MTV was trying to sell a fantasy. That is also why you don't see Alex M. and Jason actually break up.
LC is supposedly the meanest person of the bunch - they say she is the least approachable. Another thing, is apparently MTV and BMW have some sort of deal, which is why you always see them driving around in BMWs - ie, Kristin's dad didn't really buy her the BMW - she got it from MTV.
I cannot promise any of this is true, but hey, we can dream can't we???
