Lauren Conrad’s Angry That MTV Bailed On Her Planned Reality Show

(HMG Celebrity News) – And in thanks for not wasting our time news, MTV has decided not to go forward with a planned new reality series starring Lauren Conrad, who was the star of The Hills and Laguna Beach.  The show would have followed Conrad as she launched her latest fashion label, Paper Crown.

“We decided not to go ahead with the show,” David Janollari, EVP, Head of Programming for MTV, told Entertainment Weekly this week. “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!”

Conrad released a statement revealing her frustrations at 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.”

Sounds like MTV wanted to make sure the show had some appeal to the low brow audience they still cater to, while Conrad wanted to step things up a notch?
