CYNTHIA TURNER’S
Good morning. It’s Monday October 10, 2005, and it’s Columbus Day – which means Cynopsis is off today. With that said, however, there is one correction that needs to be made to last Friday’s edition. Correction: MTV has ordered up a new season of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, set to return in 2006. The season finale of the current season is scheduled for November 14 at 10p. This item also mentioned that Lisa Rotundi would be joining the cast of Laguna Beach in a recurring role of the new Mom. Since Laguna Beach is an unscripted series, this would be impossible. As it is, Lisa Rotundi is joining the cast of Fox’s The O.C. in a recurring role of the new Mom. Ms. Rotundi is represented by Diverse Talent Group. That’s it – have a nice day off, or if you are working, here’s hoping it’s a quiet day for you.
