Yummy in my tummy.

Laguna Beach gossip!

E! is reporting that the third season will focus on the kids of Laguna's first and second seasons as they make their way in Hollywood: Show insiders tell me producers are currently negotiating their individual contracts for season three and have to figure out how to shoot another season, given that their current cast have all graduated and are bed-hopping their way into Us Weekly. I'm told they're toying with the idea of introducing a few new kids that are seniors this year (they're casting now), but ultimately, the show will focus on the current cast, living in Los Angeles, and will pop back into Laguna from time to time. They'll try to focus on the drama that doesn't involve Hollywood or Lindsay or Paris. So, expect a lot of teeth brushing and butt scratching.

And other juicy bits that E! reveals? Stephen and Jason are actually good friends. So much so that Stephen is perfectly fine with the fact that Jason and Stephen's former flame LC have been getting, um, cozy, from time to time ... Word is, one of the cast members actually lives in a trailer park, and most of the cast members live fairly middle-income existences (at least by O.C. standards). That said, LC and Kristin are seriously loaded. So loaded, in fact, that according to my spies, they're somewhat competitive--when LC's family built that humongous house overlooking the Pacific, Kristin's family felt the need to follow suit.

Word is that Jason and LC have been dating for some time now, although pictures of them being affectionate toward one another are yet to be seen.

But contrary to what E! has been reporting, a Laguna Beach resident has come out and refuted the facts and attempted to set things straight. She claims that most of the storylines are completely fabricated, including the Jason and Alex M. relationship ... and as far as she's concerned, Lauren and Stephen have never really hooked up. For more juicy bits, read on at "Oh No They Didn't! .

One Laguna Beach sidekick who has gone under my radar has done something that would create serious blips on my screen. Cedric, the smiley-asks-too-many-questions sidekick to Jason, seems to be making a name for himself. Look 'ere:

Oh, Cedric ...

If anything, Hilary Duff is set up to be the next Jessica Simpson ...
Simpson's planning to open a chain of barbeque restaurants, in addition to her multiple cosmetic lines, clothing lines, television, film and music careers. I don't know about you, but I'm excited ... who wouldn't want Jessica -- who can't distinguish tuna from chicken -- to cook up a meal of cornbread and chili for them?

Not sure this is true, but The Enquirer is reporting that Mischa Barton has been trying to catch Owen Wilson's eye. According to MSN, a "spywitness" saw Mischa, who "finagled the booth next to [Wilson]," "fluttering her eyelids as she propped her elbows on the table and sorta 'squeezed'—showing off her assets!' " The saga continues, "Mischa kept flirting relentlessly. Wilson openly ignored her. Finally she scribbled a note and … Eeeek! … tossed it next to his plate. Visibly annoyed, Wilson told her, 'I'm in the middle of a business dinner!'"
