According to Perez Hilton, Audrina Patridge confirmed the news this past week.
“There is going to be a fifth season. We just found out. At one point, all of us were like, ‘No, we don’t want to do another season,’”she said. “I wanted to do more movies, and Whitney moved to New York and she’s doing [...]
We found this cool feature on the internet today that shows all the cars that were on Laguna Beach. It even shows you want model, make and episode it was on.
Can you guess which car this is on the left? One guess…it was a graduation present….
With the premiere of Newport Harbor tonight on MTV, we thought it would be nice to look back on our favorite Laguna Beach cast members.
Tvshowsondvd.com reports “At the beginning of the month, we passed on the studio announcement for Laguna Beach - The Complete 3rd Season on DVD, which was supposed to have a street date of July 24th. This morning, as we get some new announcements from Paramount (which we’ll post separately in a bit), we’re also checking for updates on previously announced titles (looking for new details, cover art, etc.). Laguna Beach, though, is nowhere to be found.
It seems that this title quietly came back off the schedule sometime during the past few weeks. We don’t know what the reason would be, or have any hint of what a new release date might be (or if there IS a new release date). More of Paramount’s schedule-shuffling? Probably; there’s been a lot of that lately. Stay tuned, though, and we’ll let you know if we find out anything.”
MTVrealityblog reports an important update about our favorite show….
“After that post about the end of Laguna and the new show in development in Newport, I received lots of questions, so I just wanted to address them here by posting a few Frequently Asked Questions. Please note that I have no part in the show and the information I have is gathered from sources and locals who have reported this to me.”
Laguna Beach is over for good. How will this affect Virtual Laguna Beach?
MTV has made it clear that in the event that Laguna Beach ends, the show will live on virtually and the Virtual Laguna Beach game would continue to operate online. There is a chance that if the new Newport series secedes that a Virtual Newport Beach might be created.
I really wanted to see the season 3 cast end in their senior year. What has happened to them?
I covered this in the last section of this post. To sum it up, Breanna and Rocky became friends again, Tessa moved away to her home town of San Celemente and does not talk to her Laguna friends much anymore, Rocky continues to date Alex, Breanna found a new boyfriend, Kevin, Kyndra decided to attend Laguna Beach High School for her senior year (in the past, she was home schooled), and all the typical Laguna stuff like Winter Formal. The LBHS Class of 2007 will celebrate Prom on June 2 and graduate on June 21.
Why did MTV decide to end Laguna Beach?
MTV decided to end Laguna Beach, one of the most popular reality series in MTV history, for many reasons. First of all, MTV and the producers noticed how the show declined in ratings big time during its third season. The reason behind the decline in ratings was because after season 2, the cast that everyone had watched for the show’s first 2 seasons had all graduated and moved on. The old cast leaving and the introduction of a whole new cast caused the show to loose viewers. I guess that the producers just didn’t want to risk airing another unsuccessful season of Laguna Beach and instead work on a different show, in a different location, with a different cast.
What is MTV doing in Newport, and when will we see the show?
MTV is currently working on a new reality drama similar to Laguna Beach in Newport Beach, a beach town made famous by FOX’s The OC, and just a few miles away from Laguna. The show is still in pre-production and development. Currently, reports coming from Newport tell us that MTV has begun casting at Newport Harbor High School, but nothing is official right now. I’m thinking that casting will happen soon, if not already, and filming will continue for a period of 6 months similar to the filming schedule of Laguna Beach. So I’m thinking we will see this new series sometime in 2008.
In the ultimate form of personal self-expression, fans of MTV’s “The Hills” and“Laguna Beach” can now capture the ‘look’ of their favorite characters by going online and purchasing clothing and accessories worn by their favorite cast members or featured on the shows. Today marks the immediate launch of a new online store for MTV fans. The site — at www.seenonmtv.com — offer fans the opportunity to purchase identical items worn by their favorite stars, like Lauren Conrad of “The Hills.” And in a move that bridges the real world with the virtual, members of Virtual Hills and Virtual Laguna Beach can dress their avatars in branded clothing, and then get their hands on the real things via the MTV store – the first time any major media/entertainment company has extended the concept to a 3D world.
The MTV site are organized so viewers can shop for their favorite items by cast member, category (i.e., clothing, jewelry, handbags and luggage, shoes, etc.) and brand. They can also shop by episode. For instance, a viewer who has just seen the “Hills” episode “Apology Not Accepted,” which originally aired on March 19, can go online and purchase the Rebecca Taylor blossom print dress worn by one of the cast members.
The Hills section of the MTV site, for instance, features more than 500 products seen on episodes from the show’s first two seasons – everything from handbags and shoes, to electronics and earrings. The Laguna Beach area offers headbands, skirts, digital music players and more than 350 other products.
The DVD will be 5 hour, 25 minute long. Stay tuned for cover art! We will have Pre-Orders of the DVD coming soon!

Now another member of Laguna Beach has been arrested for DUI - this time it’s Jessica Smith.
Smith, 19, of Laguna Beach, crashed a 1999 Volkswagen Beetle into the back of a 2003 Acura MDX after she couldn’t slow down in time, a California Highway Patrol report said. The CHP report said that her level of intoxication, unsafe speeds and wet roadways were conditions that led to the crash.
Smith is being held at the Orange County Jail Women’s Intake Release Center in lieu of $100,000 bail. She’s scheduled for an arraignment at the Harbor Justice Center on Wednesday.
UPDATE: TMZ has learned that wayward “Laguna Beach” star Jessica Smith has just been released from an Orange County jail, after being charged with two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence.
Smith,19, who spent almost three full days behind bars, was arrested Monday on suspicion of felony driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and of causing “great bodily injury” during a crash on the Santa Ana Freeway near Los Angeles. We’re told that Smith had a blood alcohol level of .12.
Sources tell TMZ that because Smith wasn’t charged with a felony, her bail was reduced from $100,000 to $5,000. Although her bail was reduced yesterday, Smith was apparently unable to come up with the bail until today. Under the terms of her release, Smith has been ordered not to drink alcohol and to attend one AA meeting per week until her arraignment on April 25.
Smith was one of two cast members on the reality series to be featured in all three seasons, playing a primary starring role in season two in 2005. As of 2006, she was attending Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, according to her travel blog, letsgojessica.blogspot.com.
According to Brenna’s Myspace page …
“For those of you who have been asking about my relationship with Rocky now, we are great friends again. We were willing to forgive and forget everything from last year and become friends again. I’m so happy! I guess that just shows you how strong our friendship is and we can make it through just about anything. I don’t know what I would do without her!”
The parents of “Laguna Beach” stars are finally speaking out about all the negative press the show is giving the town.
“People now blame MTV for everything,” said Candace Hurley, whose two sons have appeared on the show.
“They blame the crowds on MTV. It’s not like there are bands of kids coming in. It’s families taking photos in front of the Laguna Beach High School sign. Why is that such a negative?“
Her son Kelan became a cast member to promote his band. He now has a record contract with Sony, she said. “My son set out to not embarrass our family and to show off his band,” she said. “We feel lucky the show did what we hoped for.”
Jim Conrad’s daughter Lauren (aka LC) starred in the first season and later got her own spin-off series, The Hills. His younger daughter, Breanna, is a cast member of season three. He said the school board’s decision to bar MTV from the high school campus backfired.
“We wanted them to show school activities and present our kids in the best light. So without that, what is left? Parties, going out,” he said. “I would say 80 per cent of people here couldn’t care less. They don’t watch the show, they don’t like it or hate it. I’m no rah-rah cheerleader for MTV, but it hasn’t ruined our town.”
Where were the parents throughout the shows? I thought the town was run by kids!!!
