Laguna Beach Is The New O.C.

Check this out: iTunes most downloaded songs of the week.

1. Rihanna - "Pon De Replay"
2. The Click Five - "Just The Girl"
3. Fall Out Boy - "Sugar, We're Goin Down"
4. Gorillaz - "Feel Good Inc."
5. Cast Of Rent - "Seasons Of Love"
6. Lifehouse - "You And Me"
7. Pussycat Dolls - "Don't Cha (w/ Busta Rhymes)"
8. Journey - "Don't Stop Believin'"
9. Weezer - "Beverly Hills"
10. Foo Fighters - "Best Of You"
That's right, JOURNEY. Why? It was featured in the season premiere of Laguna Beach.

Never underestimate the influence of Stephen's car stereo.

As for the question on all viewers' minds: Is the show actually real? Jess and Neel get some answers. Sort of.

Previously: Steve Perry Hearts Ben Gibbard.

UPDATE: Astute readers note the Journey anthem popped up in Family Guy too. So we won't give all the credit to Laguna.

I've always wondered about the level of reality in that show. Actually, I've always wondered about the level of reality in any so-called reality show. LB explains the Journey song in the top 10, but what's with "Seasons of Love"? "Rent" the movie doesn't come out until X-Mas. Is it cool to like musicals now? 'Cause if it is, maybe I can finally sit at the cool table! I'll bring the "42nd Street" soundtrack and my tap shoes and we can all shuffle off to Buffalo. Jazz hands!

Hmm I downloaded "Don't Stop Believin'" this week, but it was because I saw it on Family Guy, definitely not any influence from Laguna Beach.

There's no way it's real. Just watch any interior scene, they have multiple cameras set up (NOT handheld) to take different angles, and the kids are perfectly framed in almost all of the shots. Not only that, but the cameras occasionally anticipate the movement of of characters way too precisely to be spontaneous.

Now compare that with, say, The Real World, where the cameras are all handheld, often miss alot of the important action, characters are constantly moving out of frame, etc. Ever wonder why the rooms in the Real World house are so big? It's so they can get multiple camera crews in the room. If they ever have to shoot at a "normal" location, say an office, there's always one camera.

It's not real.

Are we supposed to pretend we watch this show? Does anyone over the age 15 still watch anything on this network? Has it gotten to the point where hipsters claim to watch this stuff ironically, or is it just that hipsters have outcooled themselves out of any normal enjoyment of decent popular culture, such that MTV is the only remaining form of entertainment that has been sufficiently pre-masticated for them to digest.

And, yes... if there was a mad rush to download Journey this week, you better believe it was because of Adult Swim showing repeats of a recent Family Guy episode that featured a very funny karaoke version of the song. It sure as hell wasn't due to some episode of the newest pile of shit MTV has chosen to pile onto the existing pile of shit that is their program schedule.

hey, don't stop believing is an awesome song. and the ability to buy it on itunes without buying the rest of an awful journey record likely made it a hot seller. or not. maybe their record company promised celine dion tickets to steve jobs.

I hate the "I know a guy who knows (insert douchebag celeb here) and he said..." stories as much as the next guy, but a friend of mine went to school with Kristin when she used to live in Chicago (and calls her to get that taste of C-list celebrity every once in a while) and claims that the show is basically exaggerated re-enactments of real things that happened in their oh-so-dramatic lives as rich young adults. I've never heard of a more retarded idea, but everyone still freaks the f out when there's a new episode.

He's not an idiot, he's just ranting. Anyways isn't Laguna Beach supposed to be the real O.C? Much like on the O.C. the characters watch a mock show called the Valley and they have a reality show called something "beach"?

They're so ontop of things on that show.

THANK YOU(for finally confirming my thoughts on this show) I caught some of it last summer, and was vaguely intriuged. But the more times i saw the recent rebroadcasts the more annoyed i got at myself for ever getting sucked in, cause it seemed so contrived. The montages are the WORST!
What's really funny is how half the time the songs they play(if you listen to the words) contradict whats actually happening, or supposedly happening.Case in point: at the very end of season 1 when lauren and steven "drive off into the sunset together" they play that Maroon5 song abt a girl who "always belonged to someone else" when it was her who'd been pining for him.
God, I AM SUCH A LOSER FOR HAVING NOTICED the FLAW in such cheese!!!!
Guess i'm not a "hipster"- JOURNEY NEVER STOPPED ROCKIN"!!!!!

ok first off, all you a-holes who think laguna beach is fake- seriously, then why do you watch it? If your ranting about how stupid and "retarded" it is, then dont watch it, and also keep your comments to yourself if you really hate it that much. For the viewers who do believe its real, just let it be. I happen to be one of them and i really like the show. It seems real and for a lot of teenagers, it can compare.

OH COME ON LAUREN,
NO self-respecting high school studen woyld believe that LC,s parent just put her on a plane to go to college(4 hrs away!) To.. to .. to waht find her own ride to her new dorm from the airport? Yeah Right! And that metro-sexual STE-PHEN just magically appears! It's bullshit - 10 yr. olds know it's bulshit!(and being as in tune with pop-music, as the MTV set is, they should pick up on the ass backward way they try to present the music(with the exception of JOURNEY) L.B. clearly had some sort of "arrangement" with Keen and Maroon5 for season1, and we'll see who's songs the misuse for season2
You should check out ZOEY 101 on Nickelodeon- It's just as REAL!! Jamie Lynn isn't much less convincing as these kids. (to a 10 yr old!!!)

The other thing that proves it's fake (at least to me) is the fact that there aren't any popular jocks. I know it's Orange County, but come on. Granted, the most popular dude pretty much looks like a model, but the rest of his friends are a bunch of pussies who would get the shit kicked out of them by the popular guys at pretty much every high school in the country.

Anyone who is convinced that Laguna Beach is fake because of that whole "rayne's webshots" deal is retarded. It is a proven fact that their names on the show are their real names, because people have seen their yearbook on classmate.com. Lo, if that webshots is actually even created by her, probably changed around the names so that people wouldn't just search "lo stephen lauren kristen" and immediately find the "Laguna Beach Webshots" treasure chest. Idiots.

I just watched my first episode of the show, and it was so obviously a fake.

It had a guy named Jason surfing with another mate (actor), they get out of the surf and talks to 2 other cast members who just happen to be walking past (2 girls who invite them both to a card night) and he only sports a goatee.

Then later on the same day he sports a full beard on his way to the card night. I don't mind if stuff is fake, but why the charade. The show made a big deal in the opening credits about how it was all real.

This is probably the worst show in history - a soap opera advertised as being real, when it clearly as fake as it gets.

MTV, more like fakeTV.

Look look look...seriously, fucking look! Next time you see your favorite LB star looking sexy on the beach or at a party (there's so damn many), look at their ass or hips; oftentimes, you'll spot a voice-enhancer wired up their ass like a bomb. Now, these have a range of roughly 40 m, so you know the camera crew isn't far...

I would drink LC's sweat, btw...

I think Jessica needs to find herself another guy besides Jason. If he can't spend time with his girlfriend, instead of a spoiled little bitch like Alex who is used to getting whatever she wants then he needs to tell Jessica besides leading the poor girl on. All he is doing is hurting her more by doing so.

To the whole Journey thing above, I am 23 and have been jamming to Journey since I was a kid. All you people hear it on LB or the Family guy and run out to get it like it's the next big hit but I've had the album for like 12 years and I listen to every song on it. What happened to people listening to music because it sounds good not because it was on a hit show on tv. Get your own taste and some music awareness poeple, the song was written when your parents were in high school.

The stars of the show are, in fact, actual kids from Laguna Beach and, to boot, appear in the Laguna Beach High School yearbook as 2004 graduates (the exception is junior clique queen Kristin Cavalleri, who is a year younger) under the same names they use on the show: Lauren Conrad (LC), Stephen Colletti, Lauren Bosworth (Lo), Trey Phillips, Dieter Schmitz, Morgan Olsen etc. As for the rumored photo album belonging to Lo, complete with captions showing different names: It’s fake, as determined through our investigations and some egregious photoshop work.

this info was on this website.. I do think LB is real I have a friend who lives in LB and knows LC.. and was almost an extra on LB.. so yeah I am pretty sure its real.. so yeah screw u guys who think its fake and if u think its fake stop bitchin about it.. NO ONE CARES! THAnks

I was wondering if anyone knew what the song is called when Jason and Jessica are having Valentine's Day dinner, it is at the end of the episode, it goes something like..."He loves me, he hates me, it doesn't even matter, cause i know we are who we are."

If you know let me know pleaaase. :-)

Alex is such a bitch. If I were jessica i would punch her in her deformed looking quazzy motto head. She sits there and flirts with jason while jessica is with him and even goes to a dance with him, and then she starts dating him right after him and jessica broke up. Now she has the nerve to be mad at jessica. She is the slut and anywy she's ugly to, jessica is way hotter. Alex needs to take a leap into a pile of shit, she's a nasty bitch.

I hate Alex M! She is by far the lamest chick on the show! If I ever saw her I would let her know, that she is anything but cool! She is fat and ugly! The only reason she is even looked at is because she is a whore!!!! Oh, her bf Taylor is way too cute to hang with her! I love Jessica, and I HATE ALEX M! Jason was with Jessica FIRST! UGLY, FAT Alex M is so quick to forget that! I also hate Alex H, she is such a wannabe, kiss ass!

As for the whole ending of season one, who said LC wasn't going to know Stephen would be there. Maybe you guys can think a little and assume LC had talked to Stephen before and he was planning on picking her up. Either way, fake or real, I love the show and I love Kristin.

You shouldn't want to be spoiled and clueless, shallow and promiscuous. If you don't know what that last one means you're in deep trouble. These people become fake friends for you, and yes indeed it is fake don't think for one moment its not. If it werent I would feel very badly for these people that this is their actual life.

Just to this Sean person. You're one of those people that thinks they're cooler than everyone else because you have a completely different opinion than everyone else. And just because I watch this show, doesn't mean I'm white trash, or that I don't read. So, basically, get off your high horse and quit thinking you're better than other people. Don't hate me for writing this, I'm not wanting to get into a big fight with some stranger over a show like Laguna Beach.

I would just like to say I agree 100% with Sean, he hit the nail on the head. He's not proclaiming to be cooler than everyone else, he's simply stating that this mindless babble that passes for TV nowadays is making our children dumber, and making them look up to shallow stupid people like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, with their slutty, rediculously expensive clothes and jewelery and their trivial problems like "OMG who should I bang today?" Or even, "Should I videotape it this time?" To all the people that watch this pathetic excuse for a show, go outside, or if your too lazy for that or if your afraid you might get "dirty" then at least watch something meaningful like the discovery channel or the learning channel, because the only thing your going to learn watching crap like Laguna Beach, The OC, and all this reality crap is how stupid America has become that we are actually buying into this shit and people are actually believing its real, or WANTING to BELIEVE its real...get a freaking life.

The funny thing is all of you are crying and most of you are wrong. Yes the people and their identities are in fact real, and no the "drama" on the show in not real. The people all live and went to school in Laguna Beach, but the places and events are all set up. The lines are not scripted(you think anyone can write that babble?). The show is basically a recreation of typical high school drama. Stephen did in fact come up to SFSU, however, nobody up here really seems to see him very much. I work right by where he lived and I did seen him and his friends come in high a couple times late at night last semester(omg stephen and drugs, scandal....). There were never any camera crews following him around waiting for something to happen. The cameras turned on when he was "acting". So seriously, if you like watching recreations of high school drama, watch it. If you think it's fake, it is, and don't watch it. For my part, once you realize it's fake, then aren't you just really watching a poorly written TV show at that point? But that's just me. Do what you want and be happy.

Reading the posts by people who support this show just made me dumber. Honestly.

The show sucks. Its a second rate 'reality' show with a bunch of spoiled rich kids destined to be spoiled C-listers for the rest of their lives.

They do not deserve fame. Sure they have fortune...only b/c of Mommy & Daddy.

Why ANYONE over the age of 15 would watch this is beyond me.

Who wants to re-live that high school drama bullshit? Its so fake!

Gorgeous rich gals pulling the "woe is me" thing?? Sorry, I had my share of that in middle school and high school. The sad thing is, college kids are watching this show. I bet we can imagine how "cool" they are. Can we say conformists to the pop culture scene? Maybe not letting go of the teenage years??

The O.C. is a sitcom/drama...point is, its a television show, with a cast (actors) and a script, that is meant to be fake. Laguna Beach, is a second-rate reality version of a good show...making these kids out to be something special...when really, they are the most whiny, dramatic, codependent bunch of spoiled brats I have ever seen!

Read Factual literature such as Rolling Stone mag and Seventeen (if you can call that lit) featuring Kristin. It gives the downlow on Laguna Beach and some funny shit about Lindsay Lohan. It's slighlty scripted, based off real life but technically what you see is NOT REAL and NOT completley spontaneous. However I would say it's probably different than any reality show out there.

I was interested in the post that featured "Lo's" site: http://www.community.webshots.users/sexybiatch101 which is now a dead page. What's up with that?

Also someone asked about all songs from Laguna. Could we start a list? I want to make a mix. The first song should obvioulsley be Hilary Duff's "come clean," and we've got the ever popular Journey "don't stop" then last espisode featured music by Lifehouse...don't know what songs.

And does anyone know how you can get in touch with cast members? I have a friend...

Here is the truth on Journey and its appearence on Laguna Beach.
I lived with Steven's older brother in college. Last December during a graduation party at our house Journey was blared at an extremely aggressive volume, like it always should be. Steven was at this party. After the party the cd was no longer seen again. The first episode of Laguna Beach shows Steven driving back to town with Journey playing on his stereo. You do the math teeneyboppers.

REAL INFO FROM SOMEONE WHO LIVES IN LAGUNA-
K so for all of you who do not live in Orange County, us who do do not call it "The OC" that's lame... and i went to lower and middle school with Casey, se is just as fake as the TV show. Kristin does not go to USC now, she goes to Loyola Marymount and Casey is at Pepperdine with her amazingly hottttt older brother. Their last name is Reinhart by the way. I've been there countless times when they have been filming and it is all scripted. The scene where they show talan and taylor at dinner before winter formal was filmed in May if that gives you an idea of how much editing goes on and the producers sat there the entire time and spoke into their ear pieces giving them lines. LC lives in the neighborhood below mine and so does Lo... right across from my best friend... I've been in a fashion show at 7 Degrees for the boutiques in our town. It's cool if you guys obsess about the show but know its like watching a show about kids in your own school... nothing is that drama filled, it IS scripted. BTW TALAN IS A BIGGER PLAYER IN REAL LIFE THAN JASON.. he has gone through like 6 of my friends within a few months, a few at the same time. Believe me, my best friend was on the Volleyball team with him and i hear alllll the stories haha have a nice day : )

I forgot, one moreee thing. Kristin was on court for Homecoming and she won, alongside a kid named Brett who was on the "inside prom" video (brown curly hair who comes up into the camera and smiles) and she wasn't back for homecoming this year to crown the new princess so one of the other girls did it. Brett was there though cuz he is cool. Homecoming is pre-filming for the season so that was never on there. NEXT SEASON: LC's little sister and Cami (the one who went to prom with jason) are both cast already... just to let you know!

Okay, so I have alot to say about all these damn comments. I am a frequent viewer of the show. I think Lauren Conrad is such a beautiful chik with a great personality. I met her once at a club in SoCal. I love the show, It's great entertainment. The cast of the show are in fact real people, but some of the dramas are a little "staged", I'm not saying that it is scripted, just a little staged. Also, my family happens to be very wealthy. I live in a 5 million dollar home in Ft. Lauderdale, and I drive a Mercedes Benz.... all only at the age of 19. I am far from spoiled! My parents started from nothing and made an incredible home, and life for my siblings and I. I have no limits on what I spend. I completely understand how alot of people can see young adults driving BMW's and Benz's and just flip out. But I know how it feels to be on both sides of the spectrum first-hand. Wealthy teens just happen to be lucky. Their lives are very different from those of lower class, or even middle class. Stop saying how "unreal" it is... it is unreal to you, but not to all. I am sick of people looking at me and other people of my status (L.B. cast) and making false judgments about our lives. I am a good person, and I go to a University so I can make a life just as good as the one I have now for my future children. People need to stop envying wealthy people and jsut get thier shit together and learn that this world is a game... whoever has the most money wins. That's just how this life works. If you don't like L.B., then don't fucking watch it. It's that simple. There is no need to put so much time into writing something negative, about something you dislike so much... It just doesn't make sense! If you are going to reccomend that someone "go read a book", then take your own damn advice and log off your little computer and head to the library!

Okay Laguna Beach is totally real. I was in Laguna for Vacation and talked to a girl that worked in the Surf And Sport and she said it was all based on their real lives. So whatever think what you all want to think but I think its real. And I LOVE the show. Kristin is my favorite-I don't hate Lauren but Kristin is just better.

This show is completely scripted. I went to Laguan beach highschool with Lauren, Stephen, Lo and so on. They even said it. Their pretty much paid actors. By the way, Krisitn is a biotch. She also smells like tuna. Believe me a lot of people have said so. Kristin will never amount to anything because she's a complete airhead. Also Stephen lives in a trailer. Ever notice how they never show his house? He's a total pot head too. So is Kristin. HaHa

I think Laguna Beach is real, I visit Cali all the time to stay with my brothers In LA and see how it is....I love the show and think Jessica is the coolest one on their, she's so gorgeous and doesn't deserve guys like Jason. Anybody know her last name? I think hers is the only one I don't know

I can't stand journey for starters. No thanks to MTV and that stupid show Laguna Beach: The Real OC...BULLSHIT. That's not how our town is, a lot of those kids didn't even grow up in that town, they came from who the f knows where, but they should take their little pretentious fake attitudes and go back to where ever they came from. The ony two boys that were born there are Deiter and Trey. Love Talan too. Laguna hasn't always been that stinkn' rich either, only the past six years has the realstate gone through the roof...sure they live in million dollar houses, six years ago they were worth 380,000. I'm sorry MTV your giving Laguna a bad name. Your making it seem that all the kids are like them and it's not the case at all. We are a ARTIST community and most of us are very tight knit. Stop making our town seem so Hollywood cause it's NOT.

The song where Jason is leaving her house was actually an old song from Tiffany (yes, i know)- called Flown.
Enjoy .......until the new artist releases hers.

I love Laguna Beach!!! I love Kristin she is my fav!! and I cant stand Jessica she is so stupid, and desperate, any guy could screw her over and she would just put up with it! As far as the show being real or fake, unless you have PROOF, like from someone on the show or unless you saw them filming it and reading scripts yadda yadda then just shut up!! ITS AN AWESOME SHOW, and the ones that dont like it are probably ugly and fat so you are just jealous!! I used to live in Cali, and I loved it, Laguna Beach is awesome!! One of my best friends lived 3 houses down from Krsistin, and her parents, and she is so down to earth, a little ditzy but she just likes to have fun and hang out, JUST LIKE EVERYONE FROM CALI!!!!!

I think these are the full lyrics to Flown by Tiffany:

I can remember when it felt so good
And its for so long I was misunderstood
But strange how I held onto you
And there was nothing left to hold onto

If you'd open your eyes only once
You would've known
That this bird has flown long ago
I'm already gone.

It's been a long time coming back to me
And now I'm stronger than I used to be
And I don't need to say goodbye
Cause it's been said and done so many times
And it's never occured to you once,
You're all alone.

This bird has flown long ago
I'm already gone.

And I tried so many times to talk to you
Just so many things we've been through
If you'd open your eyes you would know
You're all alone

This bird has flown long ago
I'm already gone
I'm already gone
I'm already gone

Hey I am Katie and I am Stephen's(from Laguna Beach) cousin and i was viewing this site and saw you all are talking about wheter it is real or not. Well here is the answer that stephen gave to me about the show after he was done with the first season and came up to San Fransico. It is all real but not all the situations are. The show gives the kids some scence or situation if nothing is happening already because otherwise the show would be boring with no action.The camera and show crew give the kids a setting and a situation such as a party and pick who is invited and who is not (creating automatic drama) and then let the kids play it out from there. So yes most of it is real but some scenes/situations are set up to happen but played out by the kids with no acting involved.

Oh my goodness. It's not that big of a deal if some ppl think it's real and some think it's fake. I personally think the storylines are real, and that a lot of the people who claim to know the cast are just lying, but thats just my opinion. And that's exactly what everyone is expressing. Simply their opinion! So don't get so offended if someone doesn't agree with you... And if you hate LB, then I'm confused as to why you are researching it, but whatever... and don't tell others to get a life, if you are posting about something you hate, thats a true sign of lack of a life.

I fully, 100% agree with Laguna Local. As a resident of Orange County, I have done research on the growth of this county and yes we are priveldged in many ways and I am truly thankful for that, but the crap mtv is feeding you guys is bull****. For one Laguna is originally based on its large artistic community. It is not about surfing or anything like that, although those are bonuses. The homes were way cheaper about less than a decade ago compared to how much they are worth now so don't think that the parents of the kids on that show spent millions of bucks on those houses b/c that's a lie. So they're not as rich as you may think, but they are very priveldged than many but why idolize that? Why make yourself inferior to these people who are just like you and me? Oh and yeah most of those kids aren't even true Orange County-ians, some of them moved here within the past 5 years. But yeah, most of the people who love this show obviously don't live here b/c there are barely any kids who actually live in the OC who adore it. Yeah they think it's cool but it's not how life really is around here. So to those of you who are "in love with the show" and "can't live without it" the true "OC-ers" know that u guys are a bunch of wannabe's so stop making yourself look so desperate to live lives like we do, which most likely isn't that different than you.

Laguna Beach rules. I just came across this site looking for lyrics somehow.. but it makes me sick reading comments from people who despise the show for whatever reason. I'm sure you're just jealous because of their rich and spoiled lifestyles. I'm not rich or spoiled and of course I'm jealous of them... that doesn't mean you should hate them for living life the way they do. If you don't like the show then why would even think to you waste your time bitchin about it on this website? So what if its fake big deal. Its funny and entertaining, and yes i do read books thank you.

the show is real/staged cause i've read a bunch of interviews with the producers and cast they say that they film on certain days and if they miss something important then they make the kids retell it in conversation like when jason dumped jessica he broke up with her in person the week before,but production made him call her and break up with her over the phone.....also they make the cast call the producers and tell them where they are gonna be so if anything happens they are there.

This is funny. When I was staying with a friend in the US we were pulled in off the street and paid a few hundred bucks to fill a club that was being filmed in for this show. In addition to what I have been told is a standard model release form we had to sign non-disclosure forms (I don't care much for contracts). I never realised at the time that what was being filmed was intended to be passed of as reality because of how it was being filmed. From what I could tell the scene was structured improvisation not strictly scripted. A key topic had to be covered and there was a person called an on site story co-ordinator who worked with a director in deciding at the time whether a take worked and ensured that certain lines were included. This particular conversation was filmed around 30 times from 3 different angles. They called them set-ups or something like that. The other reason it never occurred to me that it wasn't fiction was that the two characters - a couple I think having a mild argument - were totally fine with each other between takes. I think she was meant to be annoyed that a couple of other girls were talking to her guy but she seemed fine with them during a half break.

I'd be well interested in watching that scene.

Coming Clean by Hilary Duff.

Alex M. is the ugliest bitch on Laguna Beach. Jessica is so much prettier and I don't know why Jason would fall for a ugly, horrendous-looking, fat, disgusting, girl like Alex M.? She is sooooooooo ugly, it's not even funny.

The show is pretty good, but everything is so planned out, you know? Reality TV? Don't think so. LC is just amazing, though.
