Is Chrissy the new Lauren/L.C.?


Last night's episode of "Newport Harbor" featured all the things that made "Laguna Beach" must-see TV in my book:

* Rich kids planning a party
* Rich kids "acting" drunk at said party
* The promise of high school hookups
* The reality of unrequited love
* High school self-consciousness and awkwardness
* Discussion of good and bad outfits
* Parents who have been under the knife three too many times
* A girl kissing the boy her "best friend" is crushing on
* Gratuitous shots of beautiful people frolicking on the beach

And it's clear that Chrissy is no Kristin. She can't play the boys like K. Cav. was able to, but I find it really cute and endearing. Chrissy is a little less self-assured, a little more naive. She's eager to be loved and wants to maintain her good girl image. She's the new Lauren Conrad!
