Last fall, MTV decided to bring back Lauren Conrad, star of Laguna Beach and The Hills , for a new reality series focused on the young star’s burgeoning fashion line. Yesterday, in a bit of a surprise, Conrad’s series was passed on by the network. “We decided not to go ahead with the show,” says David Janollari, Head of Programming for MTV. “It was a great attempt but just didn’t feel like a perfect fit for us.” Lauren Conrad personally explained why that is in a statement to EW … “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 in that this show would be an aspirational one, focusing on my career 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.” Conrad says the proposed series was not a glossy reality soap like The Hills but much more documentary style. Basically, Jersey Shore is the new MTV flagship. Are you disappointed they nixed LC’s show? Or did it sound boring anyway?
