1. How has your life changed since being on Laguna?
I still live at home in Laguna and cry myself to sleep nightly. No I mean the show really changed everything for me. I was able to start a charity see it take off, go on tours etc. Since the show did so well it lead to me being able to get the word out there for the charity and then after that touring doing appearances etc for a good two years. I mean getting paid to go on spring break the last three years is something that never ceases to amaze me so in that aspect it lead to being able to travel all over the world and was a lot of fun. So it obviously made it amazing to meet people to party to just live two years of insane fun. It was also cool to see how many people the show hit and it was pretty surreal there for a while. As far as me personally I am back in San Diego State where I started college after high school before taking the break for the charity and tours so I think the show led to a fun two years but now its back to school and doing what I have always wanted to do. IT definitely didn’t help my livers life span that’s for sure.
2. Do you still hang out with any of the old faces of Laguna?
Oh ya. I mean I will be life long bros with Stephen and Trey no matter what I don’t really talk to anyone from the show on a consistent basis except for Stephen and Trey and Jessica. I see Steph as much as possible and then talk to Trey at least once a week. I mean they are my best friends by far and have been since kindergarten and the show only strengthened that bond and friendship. They will be my best men at my wedding, which is currently looking to be occurring somewhere around 2045. We joke with each other who will be married first and how much it suck to be the first one with the other two having a field day making fun of him, so I am pretty confident we all may hold out….just so were not the first. Trey is loving New York and Stephen is doing great with the acting on One Tree Hill etc so I am very amped for both of them. Oh and it is the first time since…HIGH SCHOOL we are all single so this winter break is going to be a lot of fun to say the least. Other then my best bros as weird as it sounds I talk to Jess pretty much every day. We are super close friends, probably wont be anything more then that but I think since we made it thru everything, dated for a year ½ went on a tour for a year in which we fought so much we made Mayweather look like a pussy it brought us closer in a really weird way. She’s the only girl I have really opened up to and I guess the first love, so there will always be a spot for her in my life.. I help her with her never ending bad choices with guys….jk…kind of…..not really….and she points out that I can never hold onto a serious relationship longer then a week every day. It’s a great friendship! I dread the day of her wedding, I will be the guy in the back with a bottle. So yeah I mean I am super close with them and then I talk to Christina, the Alex’s, LC and Lo every so often, after high school you always grow apart but I always knew I would be in touch all the time with Steph and Trey etc for the rest of my life.
3.What was your take on the whole Jen Bunney and Lauren fallout?
I think Lauren had every right to be bitter and it was a pretty shady move. Jens a kook.
4. Who do you think has changed the most since becoming famous on Laguna?
I am only really close with Stephen and Trey and they haven’t changed a bit since the show. The good thing about going through all that together is if someone is changing and letting stuff get to their head the other two will be there to kick him in the nuts. I mean it was a reality show no one should ever change or get stuck up over it. None of my friends didn’t ever alter who they were which was huge..
5.Are you and Stephen still close?
Very he has been my best friend since kindergarten and it’s a great friendship its rare to have a best friend that long and he is my best friend and a great bro to have on your side. He is going to be very successful I n everything he does and will be the god father to my kiddies.
6.What really happened between you and Lauren?
Rough one. The whole deal with me and Lauren was one of the roughest things for me to handle, I was living with Jason and Stephen in LA and it was just a crazy time for all of us. After my charity run, she I said some stupid stuff I REALLY regret and it dragged out way longer then it should have. I mean we were really close throughout high school and she was my best friend the first years out of high school so it was kind of rough to kind of lose that. Actually was the roughest thing I have ever gone through as far as my relationships with my friends. Not a day went bye when it didn’t bug me. But one night we saw each other and it just kind of ended, as it should of. Life’s to short not to spend with people who are important to you. So slowly but surely things are getting better, talking again and times always a great cure. The thing with Lauren is no matter what happens throughout the years etc the fact is I will be there for her no matter what forever. When I was depressed during my first year at college she was there for me more then anyone I mean 24/7 no matter what if it wasn’t for her I don’t know what would have happened. So you know on that end I am forever grateful/ in debt to her and then after that the time she spent helping my charity was amazing, the first year we had the charity she was there anytime passing up thousands you could make on appearances to come talk to high schools etc with me. And I mean that was so huge of her and she is a great friend. She has a heart of gold and is a great friend to have on your side. She is like a sister to me and ill always be there for her, that’s something that will never change. I love Lauren always will.
7.What did you think of Heidi at first? What do you think of her now?
When I first met her it was obvious that she wanted to be on TV, now I think that she’s the most annoying girl on TV. That girl just bothers me. Don’t get how you can not be 100% loyal to Lauren when she brought you into Laguna for the summer and then hooked you up with everything.
8.Will you ever make a cameo on “The Hills”?
Only if it can be to get dating advice from Justin Bobby. That’s guys hilarious. No I don’t know, I think we all had the reality show experience and I know I have no desire to really do it again, had a lot of fun but I'm loving San Diego now. But you know if I was hanging out with Lauren one night it wouldn’t bother me. Who knows.
9.What have you been up to since Laguna?
While at SDSU I did the first year of Running Home 4 Teens then I moved to LA with Stephen and Jason, that house hold was….bachelor pad to the max then I did the second year of Running Home 4 Teens, toured across the country talking to high schools and colleges and then I did the run from Tijuana to Laguna and knew that was as far as I could push myself and the charity was completed after two great years. I moved out of Los Angeles, just wasn’t for me and got a place in Huntington Beach and then I did a year long appearance tour with Jessica, hitting every state and Cancun, Puerto Nassau etc. Then I went to Santa Barbara to intern this summer at a hotel and am now back to San Diego State and live in Pacific Beach and love it. I am majoring in Hotel Management and really love the business a lot. Couldn’t be happier and AM SO OVER moving around this will be my home for a long long time.
10.Who is the coolest celeb you’ve hung out with?
Over Christmas me and Stephen went to a Halloween Party in La and we are both huge Dallas Cowboy fans and we got to party with Tony Romo, he is my hero right now so I was pretty much in heaven. I don’t get really to star struck the only time I actually care is when they are stuck up and think they are better then everyone else, that’s what I hate more then anything and then I just laugh at them. Go Cowboys.
11.What are your plans for New Year’s Eve?
I think me and a few buddies are actually going to go to the New Years party Lauren is hosting in San Diego, looks pretty fun and is close to home and it will be cool to party hardy.
12.Are you currently dating anyone?
How do I answer that one… In one word no. I mean I’m not going to lie its getting kind of sad, Stephen and Trey don’t bother even learning their names I try to say this one is special but they just nod, I guess I haven’t chosen the smartest of the bunch, my mom put her foot down after meeting the last girl I was dating and said she refuses to meet any girls for the next 6 months or until we have been dating for at least 3 months. And my dad is hilarious every girl I bring home he says nice to see you again which kind of ruins everything considering this was the first time I brought her to meet my parents, I love my dad but his memory isn’t all too there. Basically I dated too much and need to wait until I find someone legit. I realized that took me a while but I now know. I have a lot of fun but I think at this time in my life at 21, every time things get to serious I get all antsy in my pantsy and have to ask for some space. I have a lot of fun going out, and I am sure the day will come when I would rather snuggle up next to the fire with The Notebook Extended Version with the love of my life but until then, my dating life span is around 2.2 weeks. I have learned a lot though!
13.Are you a reality show fan? If so, what shows do you watch?
Not really, most of it is so obviously fake its not even fun to watch. But I do like I love New York, just because some of the stuff on there is just plain hilarious. I mean the concept of all these guys fighting over a girl who was a groupie of Flavor Flav….that’s just plain genius. I laugh my ass off watching that show.
14.Of all the guys Lauren's dated, who do you think was the best match for her?
The worst part about me with my good girl friends is I am way protective and want the best for them, so usually I don’t like anyone I met, she deserves the best though. All I knew besides Steph was Jason, and I didn’t like that situation too much at all. Shell find someone perfect for her though I am sure.
15.Is the Lauren that we see on the Hills the real Lauren?
From the few episodes i've seen ya, that’s why she’s legit to me she is herself on that show unlike so many people and she always has been herself throughout the Laguna days, I think so long as you are you that’s all that matters and she is.
16.Do you have a celebrity crush?
YES. Scarlet Johansen. I mean, she’s is pretty much as perfect as it gets to me. I think she’s so damn beautiful it hurts. Her body is a 10+. She is my perfect woman. I would give my left pinky to meet her but would probably be so nervous she would get scared of me and run away. I am getting all nervous even thinking about her god she’s so hot….She’s just so hot…..She’s just perfect…I want to marry her… Ok I’m done.
17.What 5 things would you bring if you were stuck on a desert island? And what former
cast mate would you choose to be your only island "mate"?
1.Scarlett Johansson.
2. A home made beer maker, so I could brew my own beer.
3. A treadmill.
4. Scrubs on DVD.
5. A hammock.
As for the cast mate I would probably bring Stephen. Wait….If I brought Jessica we would fight so much it would REALLY motivate to go build a raft or something so we could get the hell off the island. Tough one.
18.What are some of your dreams and goals?
I want to be able to ravel to Europe I have never left North America yet and I want to see Europe and the world and explore different countries so so so bad. As for my goals, I want to be happy throughout life and at some point manage my own chain of hotels. The Dieter Resort and Spa…..That kind of reads like a dieter hotel huh though? People would think we were a chain for people trying to diet…..shit…..there goes my life long goal. I want to manage hotels though for sure. And I do want a healthy and happy family when I am ready.
19.Are you still involved with charity work?
The fight for suicidal and depressed teens and adults is one I will always fight for for the rest of my life. SAVE.org will call me anytime they need me to help to speak or to come out for an event and they know I am always there for them. It is a huge huge problem in our nation and sadly always overlooked. It’s the third leading cause of death among teenagers and for me the hardest part was seeing that most of these kids just needed someone to talk to, anyone. Most of us are lucky enough to have those friends but for those who don’t getting them the resources to get help is something so important and I hope the two years of runs I did made getting that help a little easier for some of them. Lots of guys especially consider it weak to admit they were bummed so when they saw me admitting I was so low after breaking up with Jess etc I think it showed them it’s all right to admit it and to talk to people. We are in talks of doing another run, but the last one I did was over 120 miles and really messed my body up for a while, I want to do another one bigger and further once I am graduated for sure until then I will always be there to spread the word. VISIT save.org or yellowribbon.com to donate.
20.Would you ever consider being in another reality TV show?
Most likely no, I had my fun with Laguna Beach am done with that stage. If something came along that was new fresh and fun and SOMETHING I COULD BE PROUD of I would give it some thought, but for the most part no.
21.Do you think the show was an accurate portrayal of you?
I don’t really think I can complain to much, and I thought at least on the guy side of things we were portrayed pretty spot on as far as how we are.
22.Please tell us something we don't know about you or that you wish they had shown.
I have pretty defined abs, I mean I’m not going to lie I work on those things all the time, it’s like a washboard. So I wish I could have shown them, it’s something that will haunt me forever. Joking. Not really. I don’t know I think I wish there was more of us hanging out, we did some really fun stuff like sky diving and aTVing in Mexico they filmed but there wasn’t enough drama I guess, but those are the things I wish people could have seen, we have a lot of fun, too much fun.
23.Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
Married, 8 kids all boys, living in San Diego, great wife, big boobs. Jk. No I don’t know in ten years I would think I would be ready to settle down and get married, I know it sounds cliché but as long as I am with someone I love being with and am doing something I love to do I will be a happy camper. I don’t need a lot to be happy but I do always want to be doing something that makes me content, so that’s all that matters to me. Is that wherever I am, I still have my friends and am happy. I just feel SO BAD if I have a daughter because the poor girl will never be allowed to date, IM BEING DEAD SERIOUS no way. Not until college, and there will be NO NO spring breaks or proms or winter formals. I know what goes on on those nights and trips, and my daughter will not be participating. HELL NO. So cross your fingers I have sons, I know I know it’s unfair but can you blame me?
24.How did you and Lauren originally become friends?
I have known Lauren since 2nd grade and we always were in the same group of friends. We became really really good friends in high school and she was always helping me with Jessica problems and I was helping her with Steph things etc so we formed kin do f a brother or sister bond. A funny story no one really knows is our senior year we were both in ASB along with LO and a few others and we all filmed a mock of the OC we called it The LB they aired it in every classroom every Friday we would bring in announcements etc to the show but it was basically us making fun of The OC and when MTV came our ASB teacher showed them that video before they ever met any of us. Pretty ironic.
25.Did LB open more doors for you or close them?
OPENED for sure. The charity probably would never have gotten off as well as it did without the show and then with the touring etc I could never have done were it not for the show.
26.Would you ever do an LB reunion show?
Ya I actually think that would be kind of fun, I haven’t seen Kristen or some of them in forever.
27.Please, tell all of us enquiring minds who read your website - who is the "true" Heidi?
I just think some people are fame diggers and when Lauren first brought her to Laguna we all kind of got that vibe that Heidi knew what she was doing. Then the Hills came and she’s just kind of a joke on it, Lauren brought her into that whole situation, and now she’s ready to bail her and get married, I mean I sadly know from personal experience Heidi gets around so to see her talk about marriage and stuff makes me laugh my ass off. I just hate people that change who they are for that and it seems so fake to me. If I was Lauren I would have been a lot more pissed off, all things considering.
28.What are your favorite things to do in your free time?
Hmmmm is this a family web site? I actually just love to run, I run all the time, I run to the gym I run in the gym, I run to the beach, I run to bed, I just like to keep in shape I also bike a lot. And then and I know this is kind of counter productive, I love to go out and cancel all that out with my buddies, we go out a lot, and I love to party, although I am slowing down in my old age. So pretty much working out, then partying and drinking and then I love more then anything to go to the beach especially in Mexico and to lye there doing nothing. I just like to have fun, a lot, I am not the kind of person that can sit home alone, its actually really bad, I just cant I have to be doing something at all times, always.
29.What are the best places you’ve visited? Where would you like to visit?
I loved Cancun I have worked there for the last three spring breaks and have spent over 50 days there, the waters beautiful the foods great it’s just an amazing place. And I also love Vegas for…..different reasons.
30.What is your favorite food?
I’m a big time Italian fan, anything Italian from Capresse to Pizza to Pasta…bring it.
31.What are a few things somebody shouldn’t miss when they visit Laguna?
Just the beaches they are so beautiful there miss them a lot.
32.Did you and Lauren ever have an attraction towards each other? If so...did you guys date?
Lauren has been like my sister since forever ago, so there wasn’t ever an attraction really just because I didn’t view her like that. She’s a hotty though and deserves the best.
33.What did you think of the third season of LB? What about Newport Harbor?
I can honestly say I have never watched a single second of either. I just wanted to leave knowing what we did was the original, legit and who we were and be grateful of that experience. I didn’t want to watch new people or towns just because I feel like you cant really redo it when we did it none had any idea what we were doing so it was as real as it gets, I just wanted to remember it that way. All power to them if it still works.
34.What type of music do you listen to?
Enya and Celine Dion. Jk. I listen to everything, I’m always sketched though ill be at the gym and my head phones will fall off next to macho meat head who is blasting Metallica and Kelly Clarkson starts blasting out of my ear piece. It’s my big time fear.
35.Did Lauren and Stephen really ever date?
That word can mean so much…Pass.
36.Are you currently in school? What type of work are you doing now?
Yep I’m at San Diego State and am majoring in Hotel Management.
37.What is your favorite memory ( or memories) from filming LB?
I just loved having our prom and spring break and graduation on tape. It is a great thing to have to look back on. I also just loved all the times we were able to spend together and to be able to have a video memory just all the times of us hanging out made it worth it. The ONE I HATED was the fashion show that was one of the worst nights ever, I lived with Jason, LC was my best friend and Jessica was my old gf I hated that night and that was a hard one to watch.
38.What are you hoping to get for Christmas this year?
Not to sound like a whinny bitch but my birthday sucks so badly! It’s on December 21st so if people don’t completely forget about it they combine my birthday gift with my Christmas gift, I don’t think I have ever gotten to serrate gifts, and it sucks! So this Christmas all I want is a birthday and a Christmas gift from someone…. anyone.
39. Are you a slut?
NO. In fact I am a virgin…..Virginish. New word…

Thank you! It's cool him and jess are still really close.
haha. I love it.
What a great interview!
Thanks to people posted questions!
&& Thanks for posting!
LOVE IT!! I THINK DIETER IS HOT!
That was an awesome interview. Very informative. Dieter is so cute. Thankx Lysandra
NP :)
Just so you all know, he added #39. Not me haha
I'll send Alex M. her questions either tonight or tomorrow so if you have any last minute questions make sure you add them!
That was a really good interview. Dieter is a really cool guy. I love how loyal he is to his friends and says so many good things about them. I love what he said how real and nice Lauren really is and how he would always stick up for her. Good to know that he's doing awesome in his life.
^ Yeah he'll always stick up for her when he's not posting hateful stuff about her on myspace.
Of course she DID cut him out of her life after she got with Jason, which is what Heidi is supposedly so horrible for doing to Lauren, so maybe she deserved it.
Ya but he apologized right after he posted them on his myspace, I think he just hated her with Jason which as a friend he should have.
This was a really good interview you can tell he speaks his mind and has his priorities straight for his friends.
That myspace thing was two years ago I am sure they have moved on and realised how stupid it was.
Its great to hear they talk again, and that he will always be there for her.
1:45 you are seriously bitter. you sound like spencer. lol
great interview with dieter.
1:45 Read the interview dumbass. LC and Dieter didn't talk b/c of something HE said to her which he regrets saying. God I hate stupid people!!
I went to Laguna a while ago and I was eating at the Heidelberg place and I saw Dieter running down the street. It took me a second. I think that was after his big run that he did. I could't believe it!!
Thats great they are friends again she needs someone like him to filter out the bad guys.
1:45 needs to learn how to read. That interview was really good. Good to know what Dieter has been up to.
what a douche!
^Hey LL freak, get a life!
Anyways, Dieter seems like a cool guy, good interview.
I like that Dieter has a sense of humor about himself and the show. It's cool he took the time to answer the questions. I wish him the best of luck, but I hope he cuts down on the partying as that's never good for your health and looks.
great interview! Dieter always seemed like such a genuine, decent guy and apparently he still is. I am still so impressed with his work on teen suicide and depression, such an awesome cause. I wish I could work with him on it, really. Thanks Lysandra!
that was really cool.
Thanks so much!!!
They all seem to party WAY to much for being only 21 it is definitly not good for them.
He seems like such a great funny guy that has a sense of humor about everything, they just need to party less.
great interview of corse!!! but i just wanted to know if he think that stephen is going to be on the hills someday
what a great interview, he really seems to have his head straight.
What a great interview. Glad that Dieter is doing really well.
I noticed that a lot of Lauren's friends have always spoken very highly of her; Stephen, Trey, Deiter, Talan, Jason, Lo, even Jenn Bunney. And she still has pretty much kept in touch with all of them. And then all can attest that she's still the same person and hasn't changed much despite of everything that has happened to her. I think that says a lot about her.
IA with the above poster. Lauren has sustained relationships with those that have been there for her, which definitely says a lot about her character. I think the LB whore Kristin could take a page from her notebook. She can't keep friends or boyfriends for more than 5 minutes. It really shows how pathetic and fame hungry she is.
^I agree. A lot of Kristin's friends haven't said good things about her or she no longer has contact with. Even her exes don't really acknowledge her or don't seem to have any contact with her. Lauren is friends with all her exes and they all have said really good things about her. I found it funny that Jessica has even gone to say that Kristin is a slut in public. Of all people to call her one, it's Jessica?!? Wow.... that really says a lot.
