MTV Cans New Lauren Conrad Realtiy Show

Last fall, MTV announced that it was reuniting with Lauren Conrad, star of the network’s Laguna Beach and The Hills, for another reality series focused on the young star’s burgeoning fashion line. But EW has EXCLUSIVELY learned why the Conrad series has been passed on by the network. “We decided not to go ahead with the show,” says David Janollari, EVP, Head of Programming for MTV. “She did do a pilot. There were talks about whether we could somehow manage to put together a special based on that footage but that’s also a big question mark based on her interest in that and the finances. We love her! We would love her on our network!” The proposed series was not a glossy reality soap like The Hills but much more documentary style. It was also noticeably absent from MTV’s Upfront this week. Says Janollari, “It was a great attempt but it just didn’t feel like a perfect fit for us now.” (The news of Conrad’s show not moving forward was first reported by blogger Rob Owen.)

UPDATE Lauren Conrad has sent EW a statement regarding MTV’s decision:

“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 into the project that this show would be an aspirational one, focusing on my career and my goals 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.”

What You Won't See on Khloé & Lamar's Show

Some things will be off limits when it comes to keeping up with Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and her husband will open up their home to cameras on their new E! reality show Khloé & Lamar, but the Lakers' locker room is another matter.

"There's no access to the toilets and the showers in the locker room, things like that," Lakers Coach Phil Jackson told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday. "Coaches' offices, the video-tape room and [trainer] Gary Vitti taping ankles, those are things that we probably won't be showing."

Odom says his wife will give the 30-minute show a "funny, sitcom-ish" flavor and while her sisters are likely to make appearances, the Lakers player won't pressure his teammates to take part in the show.

"I've got make sure everybody in here is comfortable," Odom told reporters on Wednesday. "I don't want to get in anyone's way so I'll be staying out of everyone's way."

Khloe Kardashian, Lamar Odom's Spinoff Details

Get ready to see a whole lot more of Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom!

One week after Us Weekly broke the news that the couple landed their very own E! spinoff, network execs confirmed the series was in development on Wednesday.

"Khloe and Lamar are such a dynamic couple that we just knew we had to give them their own series," executive vice president Lisa Berger tells Us Magazine in a statement. "They are fascinating individuals in their own right, and together the duo are a powerhouse. They are funny, dramatic, opinionated, and we intend to capture all this, along with the unvarnished reality of their lives together and apart."

According to an insider, the new reality show will have the vibe of Bravo's Bethenny Getting Married. "They're so cute, playing off one another," the source told Us of Khloe, 26, and Odom, 31.

The series, tentatively titled Khloe and Lamar, will begin production in early 2011. It will also feature Khloe's brother, Robert Kardashian, as he embarks on a music career.

Khloe & Lamar Odom Getting Their Own Show

It should come as no surprise that the most outspoken Kardashian, Khloe, is branching out from her family and getting her own reality-TV show with hubby Lamar Odom that will focus on their life together as a married couple.

RadarOnline.com has learned that the pair will begin filming the new E! spin-off show in the spring, as first reported by Us Magazine.

Khloe is no stranger to reality-TV, starring in Keeping Up With The Kardashians since it first aired in 2007 and already having had a spin-off with sister Kourtney in 2009's Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami.

The 26-year-old married the L.A. Lakers star on September 27, 2009 and he's been making regular appearances on Keeping Up With The Kardashians ever since.

Their show -- which has yet to be titled -- is expected to be Newlywed-style and showcase Khloe's day-to-day life as a wife and stepmother to Lamar's two children , Destiny and Lamar Jr., who he had with ex-wife Liza Morales.

Olivia Palermo is Getting Her Own TV Show

As one spin-off after the next takes orbit in the ever-expanding reality tv universe, it seems only natural that Olivia Palermo, best known as the icy socialite-slash-villian on MTV's recently-canned The City, would be working on a new project of her own.

Though it's somewhat curious that Elle.com, Palermo's former "employer" from the series is breaking the news, there seems to be no connection between the fashion magazine and the fashion plate—now a spokesmodel for Spanish label Mango—who simply stated, "I’m currently working on a TV project, my own show."

It's a little crazy to think that all this spawned from MTV's Laguna Beach, which begat The Hills, which begat The City, which probably begat the forthcoming return of Lauren Conrad to reality television, and now this. While details are still hazy, Palermo's project may just be the best-dressed one yet. The girl definitely has style. Substance is another show.

Lauren Conrad: I Disagree With Audrina's Mom

During her now-infamous drunken rant (for which she's since apologized), Audrina Patridge's mother called The Hills girls "tramps" and said that her daughter would fare better than Lauren Conrad, whom she called a "bitch."

But Lauren, 24, doesn't exactly see eye-to-eye with Mrs. Patridge, telling Us Magazine that she doesn't view Audrina, 25, as competition.

Asked Monday at the VH1 Save the Music Foundation Gala in NYC about Audrina's VH1 show, Lauren (who has her own MTV show in the works) told Us, "I think it's good for her. And no, I really don't think about it like that at all."

Asked if she had hurt feelings about Audrina's mom's rant, she told Us, "I really don't have a comment on that right now, thanks."

Lauren Conrad Visits Access Hollywood

The lovely and very stylish Lauren Conrad hosted a show on Access Hollywood Live today featuring clothes from her LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl’s collection and tips from her new book “Lauren Conrad Style.”

The book is chock full of good info and practical advice that works for real women, including how to find the right pair of jeans and how to edit your closet. There is a section on how to create foolproof outfits for every occasion and how to make an outfit your own by adding personal touches.

For our fashion show, Lauren revealed her go-to pieces:

THE WHITE TEE
“The white tee is timeless,” Lauren says. “So many different ways to wear it. You can dress it up, dress it down.” Lauren prefers her tees to be lightweight and a bit slouchy.

THE BLACK MINI DRESS AND THE BLACK HEEL
“You can’t go wrong with the little black dress. So many options out there for every body type,” she says. Of course, the black dress always looks great paired with one of LC’s other go-to pieces… the black heel. Lauren loves black platform pumps and wears them to dress up jeans or look good on the red carpet.

THE SKINNY JEAN
“I love a skinny jean, especially in a dark wash. I hope it sticks around,” Lauren says of her go-to cut. I agree and hope this trend is around for a while too! Lauren says her “skinnies” as she calls them, are the most versatile item in her closet. Her favorite brands are J Brand, Urban Outfitters and Levi’s.

THE OVERSIZE SWEATER
“I love an oversize sweater because I travel all the time,” Lauren says. Hers are mostly lightweight because she lives in California and because she is so dressed up most of the time, in her off-moments she loves to be comfortable. Scoop necks, v-necks and cardigans all play a big part of her wardrobe.

“Lauren Conrad Style” is available at www.amazon.com. For more on Lauren’s line for Kohl’s, head to www.kohls.com.

Audrina Patridge Promises Show Will Be “Real”

Even after getting the boot from Dancing With the Stars and an unexpected public outburst from her mother, Audrina Patridge seemed in good spirits when she sat down and talked to OK! in NYC.

Audrina came over to the East Coast to launch Just Dance 2 for Wii in Times Square where she hosted a live-streaming dance competition on YouTube using the Just Dance 2 system. When we spoke to Audrina last month she told us that she still wanted to keep dancing after her spot on Dancing With the Stars ended. Looks like Audrina isn’t one to lie! Besides dancing, Audrina told OK! what’s keeping her busy these days.

If you missed Audrina on DWTS, you’ll definitely be able to catch up with her next year when she stars in her own reality show on VH1. What can fans expect from the show?

“Well, it’s not going to be set-up. It’s going to be my life. I’m really going to open up and take them (my fans) on that journey with me and trying to make it in Hollywood.” Audrina tells OK! that viewers shouldn’t expect anything like The Hills.

“[On] The Hills, I was kind of in a bubble. That was my Hills life. This is going to be more about me and what I did when I wasn’t filming The Hills with my other friends and with pursuing my career.”

With filming starting soon, there’s a good chance that Audrina’s show will debut at the same time Lauren Conrad’s new MTV gig starts. Despite the choice words that Audrina’s mom used to describe LC, Audrina isn’t worried about competition.

She tells OK!, “I don’t think we’re competition because we’re two different people. Hers is about fashion and she is the reality queen. She’s done it for a long time but it’s two different shows so… I don’t think there’s a lot of competition there.”

Audrina promises that her new show will be “raw” and “real.” Set up or not, we’re just glad she’ll be back on TV!

Lauren Conrad: The Craziness in My Life is Over

Lauren Conrad starts shooting for her new show which means one thing--expect to see a lot of her!

Lauren's going to be busy doing the promotional rounds, and boy does she have a lot to promote! Between her new reality show, her new book and designing for Kohl's, Lauren has her plate full right now.

She's featured on the new cover of Women's Health magazine where she talks about post-TV life, she spills the beans about her many new projects and how she squeezes in staying in shape. Here are some highlights...

On her post-TV life:

“A lot of the craziness is over. It’s the calm after the storm.”

On balancing her hectic lifestyle:

“When you are working really hard and you’re really focused on your career, a lot of other things suffer. It takes a lot of effort to have a successful career, have great relationships in your life and have a healthy lifestyle. It’s just about compromise.”

On staying grounded:

“One way to stay grounded in the entertainment industry is to surround yourself with very good people that will constantly remind you how uncool you are. It helps that I have an amazing family and I have really great friends that I’ve had since I was a little kid and they’re all still around me, reminding me how lame I am.”

On producing:

“You know, the next thing I’m probably going to do is getting into producing. For me it’s more about finding the time that I really have to dedicate to the beginning stages because I want the first project I do to be something really special.”

On her other upcoming projects:

“Right now, I’m working on putting together my next book series; working on the Kohl’s line…which has taken up a lot of time and has been really, really fun to do.”

On her success as a writer:

“A little bizarre but really cool.”

On taking on a dozen different projects and squeezing in workouts with her beau:

“It helps if your friends and boyfriend like to work out because then you can kill two birds with one stone.”

On her kickboxing sessions:

“Any way to make a workout feel like playtime is great. The stress just melts away.”

Lauren Conrad Starts Filming In Just One Week!

Lauren Conrad is getting camera ready: She tells Us Magazine she begins shooting her new MTV reality show in a week!

"Right now it's like music samples and picking lights," she told Us Wednesday at an Operation Smile event in Beverly Hills. "We start in about a week. I'm excited. It's smaller this time, which is really great and most of the people I'm working with are most of my favorite people."

The show will be shot more like a documentary (think The September Issue) and focus on getting her new fashion line, Paper Crown, off the ground.

"It's going to focus on a clothing line I'm doing with two of my best friends, but it's also going to show all the other things that I do as well as the lifestyle," she told Us.

Don't expect any catfights a la The Hills.

"This [show] is the other side," she told Us. "While we were filming, there was so much of our lives that we weren't allowed to show, and this is basically the rest."

Lauren Conrad: Reality Show is On My Terms

Now that she’s established herself as an author and designer, Lauren Conrad is ready to go back to Reality TV, but this time it’s going to be on her terms.

The former “Hills” hottie described her upcoming series as less dramatic and more focused on her career rather than her private side.

Lauren explained, "Well, I never was completely done with reality. It was just reality based on my personal life. So this time around I'm involved with producing. I love the style they want to film it in."

"It's focusing on my career and all the things that I love to do. So I think it'll be a very different show. So that'll be nice. I'm excited because I get to work with some of my old crew, which is really cool. I haven't gotten to see them in a while because they're all very busy people, but hopefully I'm going to get some familiar faces. I already have a couple of the guys from 'The Hills.'"
