Watching MTV

How did this sneak up on me!? Ladies and gentlement, MTV has packed their things and moved on from Laguna Beach, only to descent upon the close by Newport Harbor for their new series… “Newport Harbor.” This show appears to be literally an extension of “Laguna Beach,” just with new castmembers and a new location:

“Now we are moving up the coast to a new town with new faces and a new high school, but with the same drama of dealing with relationships, cliques, family and friends,” Tony DiSanto, MTV’s executive vice president for series development and programming, said in a statement. “The real O.C. is a beautiful backdrop to this universal story and this year we go back to the heart of the drama … the wistful last year of school.”

I could do without the pathetic references to the speaker’s “wistful last year of school,” but at least he gives us some good info: expect “Laguna Beach”-type story lines. Plain and simple. The official website words things a little differently:

For three years we have lived, loved and come of age with the teenagers of Laguna Beach. This season, we’re moving up the coast… to Newport Harbor! Join a new group of friends as they discover new loves, face new rivalries and suffer new heartbreaks. On the road to their first kiss, the newest, hottest couple at school contend with an overprotective father and a girl that’s used to getting everything she wants. Meanwhile, former best friends compete for the affection of a sophomore beauty. As they prepare to leave their childhood behind, they’ll find that high school isn’t always a day at the beach. New beauty, new town, new love and new faces: Newport Harbor - The Real Orange County.

It seems we may get a little bit of everything in this new series. More shirtless, well-tanned pictures after the jump.

So, we got fed a ton of pictures yesterday of the new “Real World” cast as well as the new house. Here are a selected few, with tons more, of course, after the jump.

See the rest!

Meet Cohutta Lee, the Southern gentleman joining “The Real World: Sydney” cast:

Being raised in Blue Ridge, Georgia Cohutta got to experience growing up in nature and using a rifle well before his teenage years.

He took part in the Real World series as part of his goal to see as much as possible before settling down with children.

Hmm, that didn’t really offer as much information as I would have liked, but I suppose we must make due. Also of interest is that Cohutta (along with the rest of the cast) has watched the first episode. He feels that this season will be “much different” than any other “Real World” season. Is this because it’s in Australia for the first time? Or because the cast is less ethnically diverse? Or maybe because Parisa is there to whip them into shape?

Don’t get your hopes up, it was just to feature the new movie “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.” Jessica Biel, Adam Sandler, and Kevin James all headed down to the Times Square studios yesterday to promote the film.

Evidently, there’s a whole lot of armpit-smelling in this movie, because that’s what half the pictures showcase. It looks like the cast genuinely had a good time with audience, but who knows if the movie will be a success.

Of course, I’ve got more crazy pictures for you after the jump. Just click (say it with me…) “read the rest of this entry.”

Perez brought this story to my attention. Check out “The Hills” star Heidi Montag in her new role: model. Role model!!!! Did you just LOL? Fine, then just look at the pictures. Click “read more” to see her in other compromising poses.

I’ve received no official confirmation about this yet, but internet grumblings seem to suggest that this is the next “Real World” house:

I find it a little odd that they would place the house in such a crowded public space. There seems to be a balcony on the 2nd floor, but wouldn’t the cast receive tons of unwanted attention from that public walkway just a few feet below? However, the large window panes on the first floor appear to be made of frosted glass, so that would keep peering eyes away.

In any case, we’ll have to watch and learn.

Clearly, Kristen Cavallari doesn’t have enough money already. To remedy this, she teamed up with Lasik to bring us some 20/20 sponsorship. Here’s a screenshot of the Facebook group/advertisement:

If you head over to realitylasik.com you can see all of Kristen’s Lasik adventures by watching the 9 webisodes currently available. Here’s a short snippet explaining where the hell this website came from:

Follow Kristin on her LASIK journey (and get a unique snapshot of her life). It’s a great way to get an insider’s perspective of what it’s like to have LASIK, from initial consultation to a new life without contacts or glasses.

I really have no problem with people selling out (what do you think I’m doing here!), I just had no idea that this mega promotion even existed. I’d usually say that I’ll keep you updated with this story, but I’m pretty sure that this is all there is. Let’s hope.

As I was compiling today’s post I stumbled upon what appears to be Kristen Cavallari’s MySpace page. Though her profile is set to private, you can still see her default profile picture. Well, check out the screen shot:

It definitely, definitely appears that Ms. Cavallari is boozing it up. (Remember that she’s a year shy of her 21st birthday, so this behavior is a no-no). I suppose the drink could be, um, kool aid, but then try to explain the lime wedge in her mouth. We’ve seen and heard rumblings of the “Laguna Beach” stars drinking before, but slapping it all over your MySpace page seems pretty middle school.

I suppose you have to take into account that the profile might not actually be hers, and just be one of the countless MySpaces forged by fans. But even if that’s the case, it’s definitely Kristen in the picture, so that really doesn’t change much.

Then again, the profile is set to private, so it most likely belongs to the one and only Kristen Cavallari.

If you’re asking yourself, “who the hell’s Trisha?”, then you obviously didn’t read close enough! (See “The Real World: Sydney”).

Anyway, here’s the brand spankin’ new picture:

And, of course, the new info:

She is adopted

She was raised in a very religious Christian family and is very close to God still.

Shr can talk more than anyone she knows but claims to listen just as well.

Her best friends gave her the nickname “Virgin Bitch” when she was in high school.

She claims to be the most fun and outgoing person you’ll ever meet and LOVE to be where the action’s at as her friends tend to wonder how she can non stop party night after night.

Is it just me, or is there a definite “Laguna Beach” vibe to this season? So far we have two super blonde, super perky (looking) girls, with the definitely possibility of more to come. Hopefully there’s some depth to these women, lest we be forced to suffer through another boring international edition of “The Real World.” I suppose we’ll see.

These pictures have surfaced of Kristen Cavallari getting all hot and bothered:

I have two things to say.

1) Photoshop is clearly her BFF
2) That girl must be damn hungry because she can’t stop chewing on her finger!
