Stephen Colletti: MTV Wants to Do a Laguna Beach Reunion!

For three brief, wonderful seasons, viewers were immersed in the lives of the teenage stars of Laguna Beach.


That was over a decade ago, but the cultural impact of that ahead-of-its-time reality series cannot be measured.


And now, former star Stephen Colletti has confirmed that MTV is talking about hosting a reunion.



Speaking to People, Stephen Colletti teases a Laguna Beach reunion.


“They’ve been talking about it,” he reveals.


“MTV has been,” Colletti says. “They’ve been putting out some phone calls for it.”


So they’re weighing their options and perhaps testing the waters.


He cautions viewers to not start belting “Coming Clean” just yet, however — even though it’s a great song.



Colletti says that he’s reluctant to dive back into reality television, saying: “It’s not really my journey.”


“I think I’ve done enough reality TV for a couple of lifetimes at this point,” Colletti admits.


That’s fair. He also went into real-life acting on One Tree Hill.


“I think we can let that one go,” Colletti says of the possibility of him doing more reality work.


“That ship,” Colletti states. “Has sailed for me!”



“We were just such young little kids,” he says.


That might be an exaggeration, but they really were just teenagers during those Laguna Beach days.


“What I loved about being on that show,” Colletti reveals. “Was everyone that we were working with and shooting the show with.”


He describes that “they made us feel kind of comfortable.”


“Looking back,” Colletti reflects. “We were very comfortable hanging out with these people.”



At the time, Colletti wasn’t even sure that the show would be a hit — or even finish filming.


“It was like, ‘Nah, this isn’t going anywhere,” Colletti recalls. “We’re just having fun, and it’s just going to end up in a box at MTV’s offices. It’s not going to be on air.’”


So many great success stories begin with doubts. But he was having a fun time with it anyway.


“There’d be a time where Kristin was walking into the surf shop back in the day,” Colletti says. “And they’d let me hold the camera and shoot her and follow her in and teach me the style they wanted to shoot it.”


That’s a rare opportunity — getting real, in-the-field, experience behind a camera.


“Those are the memories that I have from it,” Stephen says. “It’s usually pretty positive. But you definitely look back with a smile and remember that we were quite naive little children.”



So, does he keep in touch with the rest of the cast? Well … sort of.


“We see each other at different times, back home in Laguna for the holidays or whatnot,” Colletti reveals. “It’s not a constant conversation, we’re not buds texting each other every day, but it’s all cordial.”


Of course, as the good folks over at The Ashley pointed out, the Laguna Beach cast did hold a bit of a reunion in 2014.


They also note that Kristin Cavallari has already made her return to reality television — joining E! with her own show, Very Cavallari.


Now, if you’ll excuse us, we need to keep listening to “Coming Clean” on repeat.


But specifically the Bermudez & Harris Herbal Essences Mix, of course — we’re not wild animals.

Siesta Key Trailer: Is This the Next Laguna Beach?

Imagine a place where anything is possible.


So teases the official trailer for Siesta Key, an upcoming docuseries from MTV that comes from the same producers as Laguna Beach.


Will the network be able to match the publicity garnered by that former reality show smash or its predecessor, The Hills?


It certainly hopes so.



Siesta Key will chronicle the lives of a handful of 20-somethings fresh out of college for summer break/their transition into the real world in Siesta Key, Florida, a small island near Sarasota in the Gulf of Mexico.


Granted, this is just about as far from any semblance of any real world as we can imagine.


But whatever.


We bet it makes for some high drama!


The show will star Alex, a "top parties and playboy lifestyle," according to his MTV bio.


And also Brandon a "laid back heartthrob."


And Chloe, who can be your "best friend or worst enemy" and who has a well-known "bad side."



And Kelsey, who gave up a modeling career to live close to her sick mother.


And Garrett, who is Kelsey"s boyfriend and who will get jealous this summer over how close she grows to other men.


And Juliette, who has a fling with Alex last summer that didn’t end well.


And finally Madisson, who is Alex’s high school sweetheart and who just graduated with an engineering degree.



What will these attractive people be up to in this hot climate?


How will paradise heat up, as the teaser suggests?


Watch below and find out!

Casey Reinhardt: Infamous Laguna Beach Alum Gives Birth!

Casey Reinhardt, the peripheral character from Laguna Beach whose hair extensions were mocked by her cast mates, has given birth to a baby girl.



Reinhardt and her husband, Sean Brown welcomed Kensington Kelly Brown, with dad posting a sweet message to Instagram.


“Kensington Kelly Brown stole my heart on 8/16/16. I love you forever,” he wrote.




Casey Reinhardt Newborn Daughter



“Casey you have made my life immeasurably better in every possible way. Life is good!”


Reinhardt married Brown, nephew of the late Nicole Brown Simpson, in February at the luxurious Resort and Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, CA.


“Last night was the most magical, incredible, most emotional night of my life!!!” she wrote after the wedding.


“I became Mrs. Casey Beau Brown and I get to spend the rest of my life with the most amazing man who ever walked this earth.


“I’m so happy, so in love, and so overwhelmed with emotion just thinking about how beautiful the rest of our lives are going to be together.


The Casey’s Cupcakes owner and Brown announced that they were expecting in April.


The 30-year-old, who’s older brother Doug has dated Paris Hilton and Lauren Conrad, is most famous for spending about a minute on the second season of Laguna.  



Before being ostracized by the crew for spreading a gross rumor about Alex Murell’s personal hygiene DOWNTHERE, Reinhardt would often invite some of the cast to her mansion, where she’d instruct her maid to make them “un quesadilla por favor,” as well as plan sit-down lunches with sparkling juice and salads.


Reinhardt ultimately sealed her fate as the show’s most detested person when she arrived at a pre-prom party in the same yellow Roberto Cavalli cut-out gown Sheryl Crown wore to the Grammy Awards.


Reinhardt’s life turned out just fine, though.  She and her hair extensions seem very happy.

Laguna Beach Cast Reunites, Comes Clean on Instagram

E! News is getting the Laguna Beach band back together.



A dozen years after this reality show premiered on MTV, various members of its beloved cast have reunited for a catch-up special that airs tonight at 7 p.m. and 11 p.m.


As pictured above on Instagram, Alex Murrel, Morgan Smith (née Olsen), Christina Schuller, Taylor Cole and Jason Wahler all gathered recently to relive their glory days on the cable network.


Murrel – who is currently pregnant and expecting a baby boy with her husband, Mark Johnson – shared this photo on her account, writing as a caption:


“Let’s go back … Back to the beginning.”


This of a reference, of course, to the iconic Laguna Beach theme song, “Come Clean” by Hilary Duff.


In a follow-up post, meanwhile, Murrel also shared a selfie with her close pal Cole.


Here it is:



“YES we are still best friends Catch up with all of us tonight on @enews to hear secrets, stories and behind the scenes of Laguna Beach!” she wrote, adding:


“#LagunaBeachReunion #PartOne.”


The veteran friends appeared together on the show’s second season.


Sadly, neither Lauren Conrad nor Kristin Cavallari will take part in the reunion.


We can’t speak on the exact reasons why not, but Cavallari did recently say she hated her time on Laguna Beach. So that could explain it.


Laguna Beach ran from 2004 through 2006 on MTV and paved the way for The Hills.

Kristin Cavallari: I Was "A Mess" and Unhappy On Laguna Beach

Full disclosure, this girl had me completely fooled.



Kristin Cavallari acted like she was THE SH– throughout the entire series, and I remember being envious of some SoCal blond who was four years my junior.


Cavallari basically created the attitude,”Zero F–ks Given,” and her high school experience played out like a movie.


I thought she was a total attention whore, but I also loved how much fun she always seemed to have.


It turns out this was a case of “careful what you wish for,” because Cavallari recently admitted that she was completely miserable on Laguna Beach.


The former reality star told Momtastic that the show “was really our lives being manipulated by being put in situations we never would have been in normally.”


“It’s funny because on Laguna Beach I came off like the person who really had my sh*t together but I was a mess–like most teenagers,” Cavallari admitted.


“I was really unhappy.  There’s a saying that you have to learn to love yourself before anyone else can love you, and it’s very true.”


Cavallari didn’t appear on reality TV again until a few years later, when The Hills came a-callin.’


“I looked at it strictly as a job,” Cavallari explained.


“We filmed three different scenes, three days a week. I had my life on-camera and a completely different life off-camera.”


Having learned a few things from Laguna, Cavallari was prepared.


“I knew the character they wanted me to play, and this time I was game. Since I looked at it as a job, it was fun to play up the villain character.”


These days, Cavallari lives in Chicago with her husband, Chicago Bears quarterback, Jay Cutler.  They have three kids together – sons Camden and Jaxon and three-month daughter, Saylor.


Next month, Cavallari releases her first book, Balancing In Heels, a mix of how-tos and stories from her own life.


“This is the first time I’ve ever been this raw and real,” Cavallari, who was recently involved in a car accident, said.

Kristin Cavallari Cuddles Daughter Saylor, Misses Laguna Beach Reunion

Yesterday, Kristin Cavallari Instagram’d a photo of her newborn daughter, Saylor James, who was wrapped in a pink blanket.



The reality star, 28, wrote about not being able to attend her high school reunion. 


Yes, it’s been ten years since Cavallari whined about “STEE-PHEN” on MTV’s Laguna Beach.


Really sad about missing my 10 year high school reunion last night…so many people I wanted to see…but at least I have a good excuse,” Cavallari wrote.


Cavallari gave birth to Sawyer on November 23rd; the little girl is Cavallari’s third child and first daughter with Chicago Bears quarterback, Jay Cutler.


Cavallari and her fellow castmates Jason Wahler, Alex Murrel, Taylor Cole, Alex Hooser and Talan Torriero starred in the second season of Laguna Beach.


Last night, Wahler attended a Lakers game with Casey Reinhardt, who used to wear ratty hair extensions on the show and helped spread a rumor about Murrel’s personal hygiene.  Rude.


Murrel got married last year, and spoke to TooFab about who was in her wedding party, and who she still keeps in touch with.


“Well Taylor [Cole] was in the wedding, of course, and Morgan was actually my maid of honor and Alex H. [Hooser], who was also on ‘Laguna Beach,’ was in my bridal party as well,” Murrel said. 


“And you know I speak to Kristin [Cavallari] every once in a while, but she was busy and has her little guys running around. It was more of an intimate setting so I kept it to my immediate circle of friends.”
