Reality television star and “fashion designer” Lauren Conrad recently whined to L.A. Direct Magazine about how hard it is to be marginally famous:
“I always say this isn’t what I signed up for. I thought I signed up for a one-episode documentary.”
Seriously, who would make a documentary about Laguna Beach teens? Has she ever seen an honest-to-goodness documentary film before? Other than An Inconvenient Truth, if only because of the L.A. social stigma associated with not seeing it.
Anyway, she could have derived from the show’s title Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County that it might have been a reality ripoff of The O.C. (which remains the best show ever to be broadcast on television, other than Gossip Girl).
And I’m sure it was purely accidental that L.C. pursued her own spin-off to show her cruising around Hollywood in her Benz convertible. The Hills has made her just loads of cash — enough that she didn’t have to ask her dad for the downpayment on her new $2.5-million house in Hollywood.
And don’t forget the Lauren Conrad Collection fashion line she certainly in no way deserves. It just kills me that she charges that much for jersey.
Surely it’s not just me who sees that even if she didn’t “sign up for this,” she’s certainly milked it in every way she knows how.
