"Laguna Beach," the MTV series that launched the docu-soap craze in 2004, is returning to the network - just not in the same setting or with the same title.This time around, the show moves to Newport Harbor, Calif., and will be called "Newport Harbor: The Real Orange County."
"It has been three years since the Stephen, Lauren and Kristin love triangle drew viewers to the real-life drama of Laguna Beach," Tony DiSanto, MTV's executive vice president of series development and programming said in a statement. "Now we are moving up the coast to a new town with new faces and a new high school, but with the same drama of dealing with relationships, cliques, family and friends."
The new show will launch Aug. 15 at 10:30 p.m. Starting today, fans can log onto www.newportharbor.mtv.com to see video, cast bios, photos and quizzes about Laguna Beach.
"Laguna Beach," with its stylized images and dramatic storytelling process, changed the reality-show concept when it launched in 2004. It also helped launch the careers of Lauren Conrad ("The Hills"), Kristin Cavallari ("Get This Party Started") and Stephen Colletti ("Veronica Mars").
Like the original, "Newport Harbor" will follow a group of high schoolers dealing with life. For instance, among the cast is Chrissy, a head-turning senior and the smartest girl in the group. There's Grant, a junior, who is the life of the party. And Chase is the heartbreaker who has a way with the girls.
"The real O.C. is a beautiful backdrop to this universal story," DiSanto said, "and this year we go back to the heart of the drama ... that wistful last year of school."

So what do you think? I will probably watch it but will you? Should we turn the site into The Laguna Beach - Hills - Newport Harbor Hookup? Or should we just leave it as The Laguna Beach - Hills Hookup?

Is Get This Party Started really a good example for the career of Kristin? I thought that show bombed...
^ The critics actually liked the show. The ratings for it..was terrible though! I'll probably watch this show.
Yeah I will most likely watch this show also. I think we should turn the site into 'laguna beach-hills-newport harbor.' it would be nice to hear about the new cast.
How do you log onto the MTV site. I tried and its not up?
Do you mean mtv.com or the site for Newport Harbor?
Yah, i can't get on the Newport Harbor site either.
I haven't seen it but I know somebody that has. I think they might have taken it down or something.
So you guys do want me to post news about this show?
yes can u please!
i cant eem to get to the site
so i'd love to know more
yeah i want to know stuff about the new cast. there is no website on mtv's site. thanks for everything!
Yes, Lysandra please post more about the new show!
I'm totally going to watch it - I'm psyched actually!! : ) and yes, please please please cover the show .
did anyone find the website to view videos and photos and cast???
i say if the show is any good we should turn it to Newport Harbor-The Hills Hookup since LB is history.
i agree with above you should wait and see how the show does first if its good then change it if its a flop then leave it.
Yes Lysandra, tell us more.
You are doing an EXCELLENT job with this site.

Thank me later
Who knows, maybe it will be really good, but it would be hard to beat Lb1 and2. I will def. watch though
lysandra, i think you should wait and see how successful the show will be before changing the site name.
but if you do decide to change it, my suggestion would be the real oc hookup: lb and nh
oh I'm not changing the name. I just wanted to know if you all wanted me to post about the new show or not lol
Yeah don't change the name... that would be a little retarded. It's still associated with LB, you don't have to get literal!
No need to change the site name but keep on with the updates because I will be watching it. It looks like the first season of LB which was the best out of all 3.
does this mean there will be no more LB? I thought back in Dec they started to film Laguna Beach Season 4? what happened?
