Like, OMG, I Hope I Don't Sound Like That, Like, Ever
Watching this, like, condensed episode of MTV's, like, reality show Newport Harbor is sort of like watching, like, a horror movie. There could be, like, another "like" lurking around, like, every corner. Ahhhhh!!!!
Cell Phones From MTV's 'Newport Harbor'
As far as I'm concerned MTV's new teenage reality show Newport Harbor will never rival Laguna Beach, or The Hills in the drama or glamor departments, but it might give both shows a run for their money when it comes to number of cell phone and gadgets scenes in each episode. I was flipping through channels the other day and can confirm what communication experts have been saying for months: Teens don't need e-mail, cause they text message.
After a little research (no, I couldn't sit through an episode, but I could do some internet searching) I learned Chrissy has cell phone issues cause her father always calls to check up on her.

The best time to spot them is when low tide falls in the middle of the day because that's when they stop feeding and "haul-out" onto their resting spots!
