Bravo just can't get itself out of Orange County. The network that's already brought us
The Real Housewives of Orange County — and its countless spinoffs — is preparing
a new series about "hip and stylish" 18- to 25-year-olds in the OC. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Bravo wants folks who are independent yet still have "an 'involved' relationship with their parents."

That's right. Get out your box of tissues and prepare yourself for this sob story. Lauren Conrad's parents have put her adolescent home, of Laguna Beach fame, on the market for a cosmic $17.9 million,
according to Real Estalker.

We all know that Lauren Conrad, better yet known as LC on
Laguna Beach and the Hills, is a cell phone junkie- c'mon, when isn't she glued to her phone?! In Laguna it was the LG clam cell and now in the Hills she has upgraded to the BlackBerry 8700. Just like her Kabbalah bracelet, her BlackBerry has become a staple accessory in her wardrobe!

In the second half of this
two-part series, Jason Jones (aka J-Squared) concludes his investigation to uncover the real, real O.C. by conducting irrelevant interviews, having a public break-down, and then figuring out how to explain himself without exploiting the word "whatever" in a late night moment of discovery. Throw in a walk on the beach, a group bonfire...and dude, his work is done.

In an attempt to reveal (or disprove?) the reality behind MTV's "reality" hit series, Jason Jones (aka J-Squared) visits the O.C. to hang and mingle with the locals. He engages in a bit of good 'ole boy golf range gossip, talks up the chicks via romantic beachside heart-to-heart convos, and conducts a shirtless on camera confessional.

Earlier this month, MTV jumped on the geeky virtual reality bandwagon by introducing
Virtual Hills and Laguna Beach where users can interact in the same environment as the Laguna Beach characters. You can choose your own wardrobe, meet others and shop for the hottest trends. A little FYI - MTV plans to show episodes in Virtual Laguna Beach a day before they are shown on TV so you can get your Laguna fix before everyone else.
It's that time of the week for Laguna Beach, but tonight things are coming to a close. Make sure to check out the season finale tonight at 10 pm on MTV. Some of the kids are graduating, Chase is moving on with his band, Rocky and Tessa get into some major drama and Jessica and Cameron reunite once again.
As if reading about the
Brody, LC, Kristin, Nicole saga, and watching the real life Laguna Beach drama on MTV wasn't enough, now you have a chance to be a part of the OC action. Just
click here for a chance to win a trip to Laguna Beach with a guest and get a taste of the life. You'll get to stay at a chic hotel on the beach, and then jet off to NYC for a live screening of the LB finale.
The new Laguna Beach cast is getting more scandalous by the second. This week LC's sister is back... expect some major drama.

Yes, I'll admit it. I was a sucker for Laguna Beach last season. Who couldn't get enough of Kristin, LC and Stephen or Jessica and Jason?
