Jason Whaler Heads to Rehab Filed under ( Jason Wahler, Laguna Beach, Lauren Conrad, The Hills )

This has been a long time coming, don't you think? Former Laguna Beach and The Hills star Jason Whaler has gone to rehab. It looks like the usual - a way to avoid going to jail. People reports that Lauren Conrad's ex "was due to surrender at Los Angeles County jail last week to serve a 60-day sentence for a September 2006 assault case, but a judge delayed that in lieu of rehab."

Whaler has been involved in a string of run ins with the law, so hopefully this will get him back on the straight and narrow.

LC in NYC Filed under ( Audrina Patridge, Laguna Beach, Lauren Conrad, The Hills )

The Hills (and former Laguna Beach) star Lauren Conrad was in New York City yesterday, shotting for new mark. (an Avon offshoot) ads. Here's a peek at her diary entry on her web site:

Hey. I'm in New York for my shoot for mark. So much fun. We are on our second day. We shot for 10 hours yesterday and today's gonna be just as long but I'm having fun playing with the make up. (I got to see all their new stuff!!) Excited to get back to LA because Audrina and I have been redecorating our apartment and we start filming in a couple days.... Here we go again!!

Jason Whaler Arrested Again Filed under ( Jason Wahler, Laguna Beach, Lauren Conrad, The Hills )

TMZ informs us that Jason Whaler is issuing his own version of a cry for help. At least that's how I see it. Whaler, a former star of MTV's Laguna Beach and of The Hills, was arrested in Seattle this weekend after getting in a fight. And he didn't just leave it at that. Instead he " spewed a barrage of racist and offensive slurs during his arrest in Washington state this weekend, allegedly calling a police officer a "nig**r, fag**t, and poor f**k," this according to the police report."

Someone get this guy into treatment! Good move dumping him, Lauren.

Uh Oh for Laguna Beach Alum Jessica Smith Filed under ( Jason Wahler, Jessica Smith, Laguna Beach )

Seems it's all the rage these days for celebrities to be racking up DUI charges. I hope this doesn't turn into the newest trend. Former Laguna Beach star Jessica Smith was arrested on Monday for a DUI on, quite fittingly, the freeway near Laguna.

While driving, she rear-ended an Acura due to Smith's "level of intoxication, unsafe speed, and wet roadway conditions," a statement from the California Highway Patrol read.

She was arrested booked at the Orange County Jail. Luckily, only minor injuries were sustained at the scene.

Jessica, 19, briefly dated Laguna Beach costar Jason Wahler during season two of the show and he had his own run-in with the law, recently sentenced to 60 days in county jail for assault charges. Nice.
