Secrets of Aspen is a new docu-soap is set to premiere Sunday, January 3 at 10/9c on VH1. You can read some info on the show via the press release, which says, “The half-hour, eight-episode series will follow six dynamic ladies on their quest to find love, pay the rent, and stay friends over the course of one summer season. Together they represent a cross section of Aspen’s modern women.” Now, you can check out that cross section — pictures and descriptions of the show’s stars (and the drama they tote like baggage) are below…
Brooke
“Former beauty queen Brooke is the ultimate Aspen insider – she knows everybody and everybody knows her. Unfortunately, her intimate place in the ‘Aspen Tribe’ comes at a price – in the form of ugly rumors around town about how she earns her money. But rumors aside, Brooke still considers Aspen ‘her town,’ and is pursuing her passion for photography. Brooke also loves to travel – although only in Aspen’s off-season. Earlier in the year, Brooke stayed with Laura in California; that led to an ugly rift in their friendship – with Laura feeling that Brooke took advantage of her generosity, and Brooke thinking that Laura is using it as leverage in their relationship.”
Erin
“Miami born and bred, socialite Erin knows the South Beach scene inside and out. But in Aspen she’s a fish out of water – literally wearing designer swimwear to go fly-fishing. Yet when it comes to Aspen society and nightlife, nothing holds Erin back – with her outgoing bubbly personality and her trademark laugh, she blazes her own trail in any social scene. Erin never looks back and could care less what anyone thinks of her, so it’s inevitable that she makes waves in Aspen’s tightly-knit high society this summer season – especially with her BFF Ben at her side. ”
Kat
“By day Kat massages pampered Aspenites; by night she mingles with them in Aspen’s lively social scene. She also loves exploring her adventurous outdoorsy side on Aspen’s mountain trails. Kat got her first taste of the high life in LA, as a flight attendant on private jets — where she gave spa treatments at 30,000 feet. A winter visit to Aspen two years ago with her then boyfriend Alex turned into a love affair – with the city AND the guy. Unfortunately, her relationship with Alex ended in heartbreak – and while she still loves Aspen, its high cost of living has her scrambling between multiple jobs to make ends meet – even though she shares expenses with her roommate Star. Reluctantly, Kat has given herself one last summer to meet Mr. Right before leaving Aspen for good.”
Laura
“Aspen’s social scene is a hive of scandal and intrigue – and Laura is definitely the Queen Bee. She may spend the off-season in Newport Beach, California, but when Aspen’s in season, Laura’s in town — shaking things up and making friends and enemies in equal numbers. This season she’s back in town with big plans to launch a ski-wear line. Twice divorced, Laura is the proud mother of three overachieving daughters, but “mom” isn’t the first thing you think of the first time you lay eyes on this stunning beauty. When Laura sets her sights on anything – from another woman’s man to a business opportunity — heaven help anyone who gets in her way. ”
Shana
“Confident and beautiful, Shana is the Aspen veteran in our group. She’s been an Aspenite for 18 years and is plugged in all over town; she’s definitely part of the town’s ‘upper crust,’ and she’s no fan of Laura, who she sees as an opportunistic newcomer. Shana’s known for her no-nonsense style; she calls it like she sees it, no matter whose toes she steps on. To her female friends, like Kat and Brooke, Shana’s a mother hen; but when it comes to younger single men – her picture could appear in the dictionary under ‘cougar.’ She’s a successful businesswoman in the diamond jewelry business, with clients all over the country. Shana loves her life — and loves Aspen.”
Star
“Star is newly single – and loving it. A San Francisco native, she came to Aspen with her then-husband and, like so many others, found herself losing the guy but keeping the town. Star is a woman of strong appetites and isn’t shy about going after any guy she finds attractive. Like Kat, she loves the outdoorsy aspects of Aspen – and also like Kat, she finds it a struggle to afford the Aspen high life, so it’s only logical that these two single girls wound up as apartment mates. However, Star’s never afraid to dish out advice, even when Kat doesn’t necessarily want to hear it – and the tensions between the two roommates can make for some serious fireworks.”

Really? These are grown-ups, right? Scarey……..
Where did they fid Shana? She looks like she got run over by a Zambonni. Yikes, what a Ho!
Ok in reponse to mamma puma… your right you should not give a hit what “people” think… people are jsut *&^%$ people and they dont pay your bills and they have no impact on your life. So go for it PUMA MAMMA!
But what you should give a &*^(*%) about is your kids! Doesn’t your profile say you have 3 girls? That has gotta be total irresponsibility and desperate measures cause one day they will see this and they will judge what their mom did selfishly to get a little money right? It;s gonna impact them somehow as friends in school make fun or maybe as they explore the mom’s “work” on the internet. But then again.. you dont give a *&&^ right?
who are these chicks? they wouldn’t last 20 minuets in this town before they would be run out of town by the locals. im 38 and came here in 05, it was my dream to live here and im doing it working 1 job. this town will eat you up and spit you out so fast if you act like this, i watch it happen all the time….don’t make the paper…
Holy s@!*#. As a psychologist I’m stunned at the failure of many of these women to have any contact with reality. Laura is actually a mother?! And she thinks she’s better looking than the other women? How sad for her children. And how sad for the US that these women are being presented as role models. If this is a hit we’ve sunk even lower than I had feared.
Wow, I grew up in Aspen. This show is a sham! Non of these women are from Aspen except one . Shana is known as the biggest !~*)*^!`&*$_*()$# nightmare of all time. This show makes me sick to my stomach and in no way is an actual account of how Aspen locals truly live.
First, what is the point of this show? I struggled through watching the episode that aired tonight at 10pm. I see a bunch of miserable, single women who are trying to re-invent their youth. They should be called the Botox Bunch on a Get-a-way. There is more Botox in these women than fake boobs in all the Rock of Loves. The one woman “Shana” her Right Eye tweeks over and over when she gets upset after losing the 25yr old ( dancer) to the Fake Angelina “Laura”.. I guess that is the only muscle left untouched. I did not see Erin in this episode, I have no clue who she is or what she represents. She sooo looks like the Comedian ” Rachel Dratch” from SNL, Mad TV.
Rachel has one thing though that this show does not and that is Talent.
For those who live in Aspen, No worries. This show is a total Thumbs Down and my comment has nothing to do with Aspen.
Cast ,Pretty to look at, but come on, where is the Entertainment? I am not sure it can be found in Frank’s Basement. But it is in Frank’s House. His Mother Rocks. There is a Real Woman. Love Her.
OK first of all..I know I am in the minority but I loved this show. It’s The Hills for adults and of COURSE it is all scripted..just like the Hills. But come on…lighten up. It’s frivolous and fun and I would hope that anyone with half a brain in their head would realize 1) this show is scripted (I mean seriously…it HAS to be..they aren’t even good actors! LOL) and 2) While I don’t live in Aspen..never even been there I admit.. That these women canNOT be a decent portrayal of the majority of the residents of Aspen. Anyone who believes that everyone in Aspen acts like this all the time needs a reality check!
Wow. Is this really Aspen? I just watched the 1st episode and the party looked like Millionare Matchmaker! I only saw 3 guys and like 20 women. lol It was quite funny to see the women all catting for A GUY. If the women really had all this self esteem they would not be so desperate for the males attention. When a man goes into the bathroom with you, its because you’re EASY. It doesn’t mean you won him. What kind of party was this? It looked like it was a small party at someones’ house. I was expecting a HUGE party at one of the nice eatery or bar establishments in Aspen w/LOTS of people. Not a party I’d want to go to, unless I was looking for some easy action.
I AM AN ASPENITE, LIVED THERE FOR 30 YRS, BOTH MY SONS ARE SNOWBOARD INSTRUCTORS THERE, AND I MUST SAY, YOU DO NOT REALLY SHOW THE REAL ASPEN, YES, IT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE ON EARTH AND IT IS A PRIVILIGE TO LIVE THERE, BUT YOU DO NOT SHOW ANY OF THE LOCAL FLAVOR, THOSE FOLKS WHO REALLY MAKE ASPEN THE PLACE IT IS. MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHECK INTO THE CARIBOU, TALK TO THE BARTENDERS AND RESTAURANT FOLK, AND THEN YOU CAN SAY YOU SHOW ALL, I MEAN ALL OF ASPEN’S SECRETS.
Let’s get one thing straight- these women are in their 30′s to early 40′s. They’re too young to be labeled cougars. True cougars are women in their late 40′s and beyond, divorced/widowed, typically with grown children and are out looking to relive the youth that they never experienced.
The show is rediculous. The women continually remark that there are hardly any men in Aspen. But apparently there are plenty of women living there. That just goes to show that women flock there looking for a sugar daddy. Proof again that most women are shallow and unambitious and can’t think for themselves. This is why a woman will never run this country.
come on haters – it’s a tv show! relax! like someone said, you know where the OFF button is on your remote! I live in Orange County, CA and know better that The Housewives show is NO WHERE close to reality but i still watch it because it’s funny and makes us appreciate the normalness of our own lives. Yeah, this show is totally lame but i know i’ll tune in every week cuz it’s a complete train wreck! Laura is nuts – and she’s representing my own hometown! do i care, not really cuz it’s her mess of a world she has to live in, not mine. it’s a guilty pleasure like any other lame “reality” show. So until they bring back anything decent like Arrested Development, it’s something to watch and laugh at…
This so-called “Secrets of Aspen” is shallow and unentertaining. I live in Aspen, for real, and I met the actor “Star” last summer. She said she came into town for a “project” and to visit “family.” None of those actors really live here in Aspen. They were imported from LA and Miami just for the show. VH1 is known for its sleaze factor and they have succeeded once again with this show.
If any of these actors are in town or now live in town, they should come forward for the Aspen Times or Daily News for an interview. The truth will out.

Sweetart……..that was not Shana who lost the 25 year old guy to Laura……I don’t remember the girl’s name but it wasn’t one of the girls profiled here in the cast info.
Laura is terrifying…..she looks capable of snapping and murdering someone if they cross her badly enough. I wouldn’t want her anywhere near me. And what was the deal with her going into the bathroom with that guy? Really??? And did she just come back out and start mingling again after as if that didn’t just make her look like a prostitute? I hoped she washed her hands in there before coming back out……ewwwwwww. I’m no prude, but I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if I went into a bathroom with a guy that I had only met minutes prior and ESPECIALLY if it were on television for the world to see…..I would be so ashamed of myself. It is very sad that she has children, especially females, who will have to see their mother this way. How screwed up are they gonna be? Laura….you are a bad person, terrible friend, and an even more horrible mother. Shame on you. If you acted like a lady, you would have more men to choose from than you could count, and REAL men, too, not young boys wanting a summer gang bang. Ugly inside makes ugly outside, honey, and that is exactly what you are. Looks can’t save someone when they behave the way that you do.
Kat seems like a lovely gal and I hope she finds the love she is looking for. Colorado is a state of stunning beauty so at least the scenery is nice!!!
Yikes. Lets face it gang, VH1 is simply trying to mimic and compete against MTV’s Real Housewives of Orange County by using Aspen instead of OC. Its a shame how far a network will go to gain ratings with this kind of outrageous fiction while a great brand gets tarnished…it’s right up there with the Dodge Aspen. Shame on VH1 for going this far. I think all the negative comments speak for themselves.
I saw the show for the first time and i saw some nice cuties yhat i would like to mingle with like LAURA,BROOK< and ERIN. where could i meet these women off the show. I CANT E-MAIL AT THIS TIME CAUSE MY E-MAIL IS NOT ACTIVE AT YHIS TIME.SEND ME A MESSAGE AT MY WEBSITE AND ILL SEE IF I COULD TRY TO COMMUNICATE.
Laura,
You have got to be kidding!!! You should be ashamed of yourself. I would think that you would want to keep a low profile with all of your dirty laundry. We in Orange County will enjoy watching you pretend to be everything you will never be. Remember Countrywide, Mission Viejo Christian, old married men and all your other lies and scams–Game Over.
Wow…when I first watched Secrets of Aspen I just thought awesome another type of movie like the Hills. Young 20 year olds. Then I realized the only young one to be seen was Brooke and I love her so much… However, Laura one of the oldest ladies acts just like a high schooler… & to be honest I would know this because I do go to high school and she acts like one of the most annoying, back-stabbing, and self-centered people out there in television… why would you have this big moled person on television??? Especially one that does god knows what in the bathroom? How in the world is the owner of the house ever going to step into that house again?
For Laura you should leave Brooke alone yes you helped her in the time of need, but it looks like she had already gave back to you, she doesn’t have to be your little dag any longer!!!
Laura and Brooke are smokingggggggg hoooooooottttttt!!!!!!!
Where’s the gay guy who tried to fly fish??
That dude rocks.
IMO, the gay dude who tried to fly fish should have his own show.
He roolz.
Drama Drama Drama,
Interesting how the pretty 30+ year old high maintanace bimbo types never out grow drama. Brooke is a hottie hottie. The trick to watching this show is to turn off the sound. Then enjoy the great smiles, long hair, & the fake boobies.
Everyone, Relax . . .yes, its over dramatic. Thats TV, right? I happen to have known Laura pesonally for years. We have had our ups & downs (as all women do, lol) However, it is so obvious watching this show that it over dramatises each girl’s persona and is very scripted. Laura is very strong willed and competative. One aspect the show does not highlight, is how intellectual and bright laura is. We went out together on weekends during college. I have never seen Laura leave a bar with a man, smoke a cigarette, or do any drugs, ever! She has always shown me to be a loving and caring mother. None of us are perfect, however I would love to have a perfect body like that after three kids! Laura, they don’t know you, and all you can do is learn from the experience and hold your head up high!
Umm to all the ney sayers about laura’s parenting- 1. Laura is an ACTRESS (duh) 2. look at the show credits, there are writers. 3. I have been one of laura’s best friends for more than 10 years and she is not only an incredible woman, she is one of the best mom’s I have ever seen. Her children are incredible and it is a reflection on Laura’s parenting skills. As far as Danielle- you don’t know laura, because if you did, you would know she and her ex-hubby split custody (he is a great dad too). So, Laura gets to travel 50% of the time. Get a life and judge yourself. You are just jealous of Laura, her talent and over her beautiful family. When laura was doing the show, she flew back and forth every single week to parent her children and she flew her children to Aspen. She is totally committed to her kids. Anyone who knows her, especially as long as me knows what an incredible person she is. Get a life and if you have nothing nice to say don’t say it at all.
LAURA
IS
A
DEPLORABLE
WENCH
AND I FEEL SORRY FOR HER KIDS
As a former Aspenite with several years in, I must say, I’m appalled at these “secrets” of Aspen. Gold digging `__%+^`(%$(@)%^@( es who will smile at your face and stab you in the back are no secret… they are a simple sampling of all of those that we know are out there, but those we really, truly, fail to acknowledge outside of the simple, social common courtesy. I was a common fixture on the Aspen social scene… every party, every event… you’d have probably found me there for most of the 90′s. However, I was more like the other, more earthy gals like Kat. I worked a few jobs- (I grew up with an inordinate amount of money, but with parents with the good sense and sensibility to not just throw me a trust fund and throw me to my own whims-) but I also had a strong work ethic. And, consequently, what deepened and has furthered my love of Aspen is the sheer LACK of pretension. I mean- you can have a billionaire and a busboy at the same bar, and if they both skied Walsh’s that day and it kicked +#(~(`~**)@%“^ well, then, there’s something to talk about. And the questions- “so- what do you LIKE to do?” vs. “so- what do you DO?” prevail in conversations that I have not only witnessed more often, but treasured throughout my life as I’ve gone on to other cities, in Aspen more than anywhere else. So, yeah- I’d be pissed at the portrayal of a really amazing town, too, by the few denizens that are transient at best- Brooke and Shanna aside- and unsavory depictions of what REALLY makes Aspen great, which are the REAL people that choose to call it their home. No secret, there.
Laura is the worst! She is the reason some women don’t like other women. They aren’t jealous of you, sweetheart. They don’t trust you or like you! Yes, you are beautiful but that is ALL you have to offer. And in 20 years when that is gone, you will be a lonely old woman with no friends or a man. You are a 10 physically, but a 0 in every other way that really counts. The other girls are a 7 or 8 but also a 7 or 8 when it comes to integrity and personality. That means you lose! I shudder to think you are raising 3 daughters to be just like you. Any man will leave with a beautiful woman offering up the goods. But they won’t stay with you if that is all you have to offer. Wake up and see how shallow and horrible you are before it’s too late.
Laura fits all the standard descriptions of a sociopath. I’m not surprised that the gay guy who seems to have an impaired conscience also gets along well with her.
The only ones with any class on this show are Kat and Shana! Ben needs AA and Laura needs SA!
Laura is a great mom, her kids are super cool! Lo’s a very talented actress, because you all buy the b/s of her role on this show! HA! It’s tough to know what is real and what isn’t on these shows. Lemme tell ya- about 90% is FAKE! Laura- you are a 10 inside and out! You carried this show, and good stuff is gonna come from it baby! I love you! All you haters- “go suck it!” Laura did her job well and ALL of her cast mates (especially Brook and Erin) should be thanking her for carrying this show as far as it has (woulda been canceled by now) gone on her back AND her back ALONE. We will see where Lo is a year from now compared to you losers!
WOW,that put aspen back on the map.ALL THE THEASE WOMEN AR SEXY AND SMART.GREAT TO WATCH AND I DO HAVE A FAVORITE. I LOVE SEXY WOMEN . BEN FORTUNATO CALL ME ANYTIME,IM SINGLE
All of these people seem delusional, but the most delusional is Laura who looks as though she is 50 trying to look under 40. At some point, do any of these people get that their lives look as hopeless as the people who are watching them? I saw two episodes of this sad display of humanity when I had the flu, and it was the best incentive for a speedy recovery.
BROOK… I SO LOVE HER SHE IS BEAUTIFUL,CLASSY AND VERY SAFISTICATED. I DO NO BELIEVE SOMEONE WOULD START A BAD RUMOR ABOUT HER, THEY ARE SUCH HATERS
Jesus! This show is so ~)_)^~()~`@(~$%* en entertaining I want to cry. Nothin’ but a bunch of chicks…oh sorry ben, u too, who piss all over eachother for drama. And who is that chick at the last party who constantly tries to get herself involved in every camera frame? Hint: mouse face and black dress. Ha, to each his own. But all I can say is……u got me hooked.
What a lovely day for a 4988752! SCK was here
