The Laguna Beach on MTV

Thanks to Shankar Gupta from Mediapost.com!

AS MTV WRAPS UP THE season finale of “Laguna Beach,” a reality drama about the hard-partying denizens of one of America’s richest communities, the network will move the party online, where fans can watch a performance of the Laguna Beach local band Open Air Stereo and “meet” the show’s stars.

After the show is aired Wednesday, the cast will go to the Laguna Beach Web site on MTV.com to answer questions from the audience and introduce the performance by Open Air Stereo, which will stream exclusively on the site.

Afterwards, the cast will appear for fans in the virtual world, Virtual Laguna Beach–a social network and graphical online chatroom, in the mold of games like Second Life, with 3D virtual recreations of “Laguna Beach” locales. The Web extras for the season finale will run without sponsors.
