‘Laguna Beach’ Star Lauren Olsen Reveals Why She Changed Her Name: ‘Alex H. Is Done’

Coming clean. Laguna Beach star Lauren Olsen (née Hooser) used to go by “Alex H.” on the hit MTV series — but she no longer goes by the moniker.

Olsen joined the cast of the MTV show because of her close friendship with Cavallari, who she still keeps up with to this day. She was recently a guest on The Hills alum’s podcast with Colletti, “Back to the Beach.” The pair rewatch old episodes of the show and reflect
