MTV announced today that they will not be airing Lauren Conrad’s planned new reality show, and she is none too happy about it.
In you recall, MTV confirmed last September that the Laguna Beach and The Hills alum would be the focus of a new reality show based on her professional life as a fashion designer. Fast forward to today and it seems the network had a change of heart.
“We decided not to go ahead with the show,” MTV’s head of programming David Janollari told Entertainment Weekly. “She did do a pilot. There were talks about whether we could somehow manage to put together a special based on that footage but that’s also a big question mark based on her interest in that and the finances.”
Following that statement by MTV, Lauren then fired back in her own statement to UsWeekly, insinuating that MTV wanted the show to include more of her personal life, which was not something she wanted to do. Lauren also feels MTV underestimated how “savvy” her fans were.
Lauren’s full statement – “We sold a show to MTV, filmed it and are really proud of the final result. MTV felt the subject matter was too high brow for their audience and offered me the opportunity to change the show by incorporating more of my personal life. We agreed going into the project that this show would be an aspirational one, focusing on my career and my goals and not my personal relationships. We delivered the show that we sold and are sorry MTV didn’t feel their viewers were savvy enough to appreciate it.”
TELL US – A SHOW BASED SOLELY ON LAUREN’S PROFESSIONAL LIFE: YAY? NAY?
Who cares?
no one cares about her career….duhhhh!
Lauren, that hot pink lipstick is dreadful… know that!
Well…..MTV’s highest rated shows are Teen Moms and Jersey Shore. That should tell you exactly what the demographic is over at MTV. Surely it isn’t aspiring fashion designers who want to make something out of their lives.
It’s MTV, what did she expect? Their two most popular shows are Jersey shore and Skins, no way that they want anything inspiring. Bring on the ron ron juice!
poor Lauren!
Take your boring ass and Whitney show repeat over to Style with the Fabulous but boring Kimora!
I haven’t seen any of those shows and don’t know who this woman is, so “who cares” is right.
I like Lauren. I hope she takes her show to OWN or Style Network.
YaY!! There IS a god somewhere….. BYE BYE “the most boring human to ever be on tv”…. !
Question? Why does anyone care about this girl? She did nothing to become famous (like all of the other people on “reality” tv), both of her shows were fake and scripted, and she doesn’t even design the clothing for her line. And HELLOOO!!! stop saying your a blonde, check out those roots!!!
Zip your pants…zip your mouth…you are no longer relevant…you HAD your 15 minutes of fame…
THANK-YOU MTV!!!! Lauren has got to be THE most boring snooze worthy ‘celebrity’ of all times.
Never watched the show and God knows, the air waves are sooooooo saturated with blonde blue eyed Barbies….like enough already. Good for MTV…sigh!!
Aren’t her personal life and relationships what got her in the spotlight in the first place? Does she not remember her purpose on Laguna Beach?
lmao @ Valerie!
and yes thank you MTV!! We dont want to see anymore of lauren whether it be about her career or love life! ur 15 is done
Kim K’s and Lauren’s clocks must be sychronized. Welcome to irrelevancy ladies, in 3…2…1…
Sorry Lauren, there are thousands of young women starting their legitimate careers and they don’t get a reality show – they are for real, you are not.
Get over yourself, you would not be anywhere without MTV.
God, what a bunch of negative people you all are.
I suppose you think that none of the other reality shows out there are scripted, right? If some of you have such disdain for reality scripted shows, what the heck are you doing here, at reality tea?
There is not one show that isn’t scripted., and frankly, it would have been a nice change for young people to have a show that focused on a career in fashion instead of drinking, and sleeping around.
Just because she started out as having her personal life filmed. doesn’t mean she has to continue to do so. MTV bought the fashion/career concept, not her personal life.
As if any of these reality people are relevant, yet you all dog her. Strange!
I like Lauren but let’s face it, she’s never been the life of the party. It’s always been the characters surrounding her that bring the life & fun. She’s always been sort of the dependable rock that everything revolves around. If she wants to sell a low or no drama documentary, MTV is not the place for it.
This network already sort of did this show with Whitneys spinoff . Also if it’s all work, who wants to watch that all the time, we all live it everday. Next lets have a show and watch VICKI from OC work at the insurance office all day. LOL. NO THANK YOU!
oooohhhh, Lauren is correct. MTV very much underestimated their viewers. Their audience is highschoolish seniors getting ready to enter the big bad world. Young ladies would have eaten this show up.
This is coming from a girl who started a ‘career’ solely on her high school drama.
as an example to young girls perhaps she is one of the better role models out there ..
ain’t too many not goin’ the sex route these days …
that’s boring to me …
one mo’sextape ..yawn ..
think it’s a blessing in disguise for her ..
MTV has been producing crapola for quite awhile now ..
it’s simply not a good fit for her ..
the stylenetwork or even bravo would be much better ..
i’d take her anyday over most of these other famewhores ..
at least she has a bit of decorum ….
Did she get work done on her face, because she looks alot different.
lauren is boring. period
I think she is a snooze and a snob. Even when they filmed her personal life it was boring.
Domino, ditto to everything you said. What’s crazy is that Lauren and mtv have been saying all along how this show will be totally different than laguna and the hills, in how it won’t incorporate her dating life at all. It seems like mtv had a change of heart and is tryin to strong-arm her into changing the show at the 11 th hour. I think her show would have been a refreshing change of pace, hopefully it finds a home on a different network.
Good for her. She is too classy for MTV anyways. All they want to show is drinking and sex. I wish Lauren great success with finding a better network for her show.
she should go to bravo, they have lots of work only reality shows
Strange indeed Domino, strange indeed!
There’s a reason why I DON’T watch Jeresy Whore’s and why I gave up yrs ago watching The Real World (don’t even know if its still on, lol)… Way to much drinkin, sexin and basically, actin a’fool!!
We keep saying there needs to be better role models when it comes to these reality peeps (do I have to write the list?) yet when there is one, the “talk” changes!?!? Hmmmm??
Hope she finds another network as well. I wish her much success!!
Just my 2 cents…
Smart move MTV. Another good thing is how fast these non talent reality “stars” fade from view, drop like a rock, once their show is cancelled. Good riddance Kardashians next!
Emmm…Lauren…..it’s so not a good idea to bite the hand that has fed you……her appearing on The View to go on record as saying that The Hills was scripted was not a good move or idea. And forgetting that this was the same network that was to air your new show….sometimes I wonder why these people pay people for PR and yet they come out and say and do the dumbest things…
Anyhoo…good riddance …..really wasn’t jumping up and down for her show anyway……
Her and Lo Bosworth were always my fav. from the Laguna days (and Whitney from the City), that being said though.. lmao she can’t be too mad. MTV has funded her lifestyle quite a bit, she has no need to be bitter in reality. Without MTV no one would even know who she is anyways lmfao, she should be forever indebted to him. I do hope she can get this show on another network though. Perhaps they are still mad that she washed her hands of the Hills when she did.. mhmmm.
eesh, I mean to them.. not him. ugh hate typos.
The re-launch of a failed clothing line is not going to get people wanting to watch her again. Her personal life is what made people want to watch in the first place. Lauren left the spotlight and im starting to assume that the funds are low so she may need a reality show in the works…
Kind of glad they passed on the LC goes to work show. Without including her boring lovelife or her coming home complaining to her roomie/boyfriend what was left? A halfhour infomercial for her clothing line. NEXT!
Does anyone know if Lauren attended college or fashion school…whats makes her qualified to launch a line of clothing?
@37 Geminipride- I am fairly sure Lauren attended the fashion school of Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, but I don’t know if she completed her studies/graduated.
Lauren is a little boring, but it’s not a bad thing…I actually mean this as a compliment. She should try Oxygen or WE or a channel like that.
Another thing, I never tuned in to the Hills to watch her storyline. I don’t really think she can carry a show. Again, I’m not hating on her I just think she is too normal for a reality show. She made a fortune off the Hills and was already rich so she shouldn’t worry for the time being. I wish her well.
Teen mom and the other “highest” watched shows suck. MTV was only good when the Hills and Laguna Beach were on! Lauren should air this show and continue working with MTV. Compare the Hills to Teen Mom, the hills are a much better show, and jersey shore is inappropriate show and Lauren’s show wouldnt be. I wish her well.
