THE REST IS STILL UNWRITTEN... (NO BUT REALLY)

Lauren Conrad & Whitney Port in El Segundo for their Teen Vogue cover shootSpike, Adam Divello, Lauren Conrad & Whitney Port waiting in the Teen Vogue NY lobby at CondenastThere comes a time past or present when each generation can relate to a television character they grew up with.  Thanks to scheduled programming that helps define our culture and youth, here our just a few shows that you might remember (if you were alive).

1950's:  Ozzie & Harriet

1960's:  The Patty Duke Show, Gidget, The Monkees

1970's:  The Partdridge Family, The Brady Bunch, Happy Days, Welcome Back Cotter, The Facts of Life

1980's:  Charles in Charge, The Wonder Years, Doogie Howser M.D.

1990's:  Saved By the Bell & 90210, California Dreams, Clueless, Dawson's Creek,  Buffy the Vampire Slayer

MTV has always been ahead of the game when it comes to illustrating issues of young adults on reality TV.  You may have heard of a little show called The Real World that first started back in 1992.  A series about 7 strangers that discussed sexuality, prejudice and substance abuse.    

Modeled after one of my favorite shows The O.C., MTV created what would be a decade of drama, romance and cast of characters that we would soon all fall in love with (or not).  

Congratulations to Liz Gately, Tony Disanto & Adam DiVello on introducing us to a young girl's life from Laguna Beach named Lauren Conrad.

A reality show to most, real life for me...

L-R: Jason Sands, Steven Romero, Andrew Perry, Ben DeNoble, Lisa Love, Adam Divello, Lauren Conrad, Sara Mast, Sophia Rossi, Carlos E. Lopez, Hisham Abed, Christine Duell

FROM DOWNTOWN MIAMI, 2 MELROSE PLACE & THE HILLS

The entrance to the Viceroy Hotel in Downtown MiamiViceroy Hotel & Spa in Miami, FloridaUsually I'm staying in the heart of South Beach in the middle of all of the action.  

But, this trip was a little different...  I decided to stay in downtown Miami at the Viceroy Hotel, where I heard the spa was 2 DIE 4.  Giving a new meaning to the name SPINderella, my friends and I were spinning our complimentary passes off everyday, followed by spa treatments at their amazing facilities. 

This past Saturday, I headed over to the Edon Roc Hotel to meet up with friends over at the Garnier Fructis Lounge.  Sitting next to Katie Cassidy as we both got our hair did, I couldn't have felt more at home. As I, for some reason, am always at a salon right off of Melrose Place (Andy Lecompte Salon) in LA.

After the Garnier Lounge totally helped me win by a hair, I was off to The Cabana Beach Club - where I ran into the crew of The Hills.  They invited me to have a crew meal with them and we caught up about our Teen Vogue days together.  

And... to think it wasn't even 1pm yet and we still had a football game to get too!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY LAUREN CONRAD

The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel Penthouse rooftop

Lauren Conrad & NeverWood High's Carlos E. Lopez at Justin Timberlake's concert in Madison Square Garden April 2007NeverWood High would like to wish Lauren Conrad a Happy Belated Birthday (on NWH)!!!

I was introduced to Lauren when she was about 18 or 19 years old and she is still the sweet genuine girl from Laguna Beach I first met.  Now 24, with two shows under her belt, endorsement deals and her own fashion line... I've always admired how she's stayed down to earth and well grounded.  

NeverWood High helped Lauren blow out her birthday candles last Sunday at The Roosevelt Hotel Penthouse. 

NWH invites Lauren Conrad to teach a class titled "The Secret of my Success", next semester.

Would you attend? tweet us @carlosncharge your answer.

LAUREN CONRAD OUT OF THE HILLS AND INTO KOHL'S

Caprice Crane at Barnes & Nobles signing a copy of her book Family Affair

From book signings to dresses with inner linings our night was spent supporting the lovely ladies of LA.  

Screenwriter, novelist & tv writer Caprice Crane was at Barnes & Nobles in The Grove, signing copies of her new book Family Affair.  Caprice is currently writing on The CW's Melrose Place and working on her 4th book, due early 2011.

After spending 20 minutes in The Grove parking lot, trying to remember where I parked my car...  I would like to give a special shout out to Juan Julio who drove me around on a little Grove cart in search of my wheels.

As soon as I got a hold of my bearings, I headed to Melrose Place for Lauren Conrad's Kohl's event.  I've never been more proud of someone then Miss Lauren C.  She always delivers everything with such class and good times for all.  

Walking into the Kohl's party there was a huge Edward Scissor Hands type sculpture that was followed by models who stood as vignettes wearing Lauren's latest Kohl's collaboration.

Sliders were servered with lil hamburgers and LC-tinis were poured at the bar.  Music was provided by my two favorite brothers and DJ's, Danny Masterson (Mom Jeans) and Jordan "Jordy" Masterson.  I caught myself doing a double take as I saw a DJ AM sticker on the back of one of their laptops.  

If only...

Overall the night was a success.  It's great to see those who do what they love and make it work for them. Whether its writing a book, to designing a fashion line or allowing someone to enjoy themselves through music you fill the air with.  

You control your destiny - so follow your heart and your dreams (and have fun in between).
