Word is coming from numerous sources that Season 4 may not happen. After speaking to a number of the Laguna Beach town merchants and kids at LB High School, no one has seen the film crews around.

Then Brenna from the cast posted this on her official myspace:
“A lot of people ask me about Laguna Beach season 4, so I want to let everyone know what is going on. MTV has not started to film for season 4 and they keep telling us that they have not decided if there will be a season 4. It is my guess that there will not be another season and if there is then they will go with a whole new cast. So basicly, I don’t know what MTV is going to do and I will let everyone know once they tell us anything.”

The show that brought the spotlight to our little area of the world, Orange County and created spin-offs like “Laguna Beach” is coming to an end tonight. “The O.C.” will be airing it’s final episode tonight on Fox. It was a cultural icon that brought us teenage drama, sarcasm, emo music and “Chrismukkah”.

Head over to our sister blog OC GOSSIP and pay your respects!

EXTRA EXTRA:
The O.C’s creator and executive producer Josh Schartz promises the episode contains a “very special homage” to the UC Berkeley School of Law’s The O.C fan club, who actually founded a real-life Sandy Cohen fellowship grant at UC Berkeley.

Last night’s episode of The O.C. climax with an earthquake ripping through Newport Beach, California.

The episode - entitled The Shake Up - will be followed by two final shows that see the Cohen and Cooper families sort through the wreckage.

Series creator Josh Schwartz said the final episodes would “deliver real closure to the series”.

“The Big One hits The O.C.!”

The former O.C. star is lined up to play the lead in a remake of Alice in Wonderland – called Malice in Sunderland. Mischa Barton will star in the film, described by production company Future Films as a contemporary take on Lewis Carroll’s classic tale. Barton will play a US student who, having been hit by a London taxi, finds herself disoriented in Sunderland. Filming on the project is to start on Wearside later this year.

A spokesperson for Future Films said: “Malice in Sunderland follows an American student Alice who ventures through a macabre underworld of characters reminiscent of those made popular in Carroll’s tale.”

Cable network SoapNet has picked up the rerun rights to the series and will begin airing repeats in April. The network has also acquired another teen-oriented drama, “One Tree Hill.” Both shows will debut on SoapNet on Monday, April 9.

They will air back-to-back on weekdays, with “One Tree Hill” at 5 p.m. ET and “The O.C.” at 6 p.m.

Their lead-in will be “Beverly Hills, 90210,” creating a big block of high-school drama in the late afternoons.

TeenPeople.com has an interview with L.C. about her breakup with Jason Wahler.

After a summer split with her Laguna Beach costar Jason Wahler and a fall fling with Brody Jenner that didn’t quite last a month, Lauren Conrad says she’s learned some important life lessons.

“Breaking up with Jason was the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” the Hills star, who recently celebrated her 21st birthday, tells CosmoGIRL! in its March issue. “I still wanted to be with him but I knew that I couldn’t be.”

She helped mend her broken heart with the aid of a pal: The Hills costar Heidi Montag. “I was so fortunate to have Heidi, who is my best friend. She took me away on a road trip to Las Vegas, and we had the best time,” Conrad says.

“It was important for me to know that I could still have a good time without a boyfriend. I slept in her bed for a month because I couldn’t go into my room. The only thing that heals a broken heart is time. But it really helps hanging out with your girlfriends as much as possible.”

Now, Conrad, who was recently named the spokesperson for Avon’s mark. brand, is focused on her career: “I’ve been given an opportunity with Laguna Beach and The Hills, and my father – who is the smartest man I know – has advised me to capitalize on those opportunities,” she says. “So that’s what I’m trying to do – make contacts, get to know people. Hopefully that will help me as I start moving into my fashion career.”

And she already has some fashion tips for young women. “Sometimes I look at what really young girls wear and I can’t believe it – I have underwear that covers more than what some of them have on!

“I think it’s important that girls know that they can be attractive and sexy in a classy way and that guys actually like that more than when they see girls who show a lot of skin. For me, I like clothes and I like to wear them to cover up.”

TMZ.com reports “”Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere is dating Kristin Cavallari’s “Laguna Beach” ex, Stephen Coletti. This made it just a tad awkward — when the two underage beauties just so happened to run into each other at an L.A. shop! Meow!

The rival sex kittens kept their claws in check as they joked, laughed and browsed the aisles of trendy Surly Girl boutique, located on L.A.’s starlet row, aka Robertson Blvd. Someone, alert the media!”

www.celebrity-gossip.net reports “Lauren Conrad, who became a celebrity after appearing on MTV’s reality show Laguna Beach, celebrated her 21st birthday in style on February 1st.

The event, held in West Hollywood, was attended by friends, family and notables including Amanda Fields, Audrina Patridge, Heidi Montag, Kyle Davis, and Nadia Bjorlin.

In other news related to Ms. Conrad, she has just joined forces with Avon cosmetics. The reality TV star will appear in a combination of magazine and catalog ads, referred to as ‘megalog’ to promote Avon’s teen and young women brand, mark., which was launched in 2003 and has proven to be a success among the target group. The mark. brand ads will also have an online presence according to PR newswire releases.”
