Yeah, that’s messed up.  Lauren Conrad totally got the shaft from her “home” network, MTV when they decided to drop her new show before it ever had a chance.

Lauren Conrad’s Sweet Little Lies

MTV exec David Janollar said,

“We decided not to go ahead with the show.  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!”

Well, Lauren is pissed and rightfully so, I would be too.  She said in a statement,

“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.”

I think Lauren should take it to Oxygen or Bravo.  That would be a perfect fit over there and I think the network at either spot would welcome her with open arms.  Good luck Lauren!  I’ll watch no matter what network you land on!
