Jason Wahler’s legal life is beachy keen once more.

The Hills and former Laguna Beach cad has settled a second assault, battery and civil rights-violating lawsuit stemming from his August 2007 bustup with a Los Angeles tow truck driver.

On Friday, Jonathan Wallace, a Department of Transportation worker who also claimed to be victimized by the reality star in the incident, filed papers in Los Angeles Superior Court stating that his case against Wahler had been settled out of court.

The terms of the deal were not disclosed, though the resolution now voids the scheduled Nov. 26 start date for the case.

Word of the settlement comes in the wake of a jury’s decision that the 21-year-old must pay tow truck driver Dario Stevenson $20,000 in damages in a separate lawsuit over the same incident.

Wallace testified during Stevenson’s trial that he suffered a black eye and broken hand in the incident, after Wahler thrust his chest into him and hit his left eye. He also claims Wahler launched an N-bomb-laced tirade against him during the encounter.

A jury has awarded $15,000 in punitive damages to a tow truck driver who was slugged by former “Laguna Beach” personality Jason Wahler.

In all, Dario Stevenson won a $20,000 judgment against Wahler after a weeklong trial.

Jurors awarded Stevenson $5,000 on Thursday after finding that Wahler committed battery and inflicted emotional distress on the 41-year-old driver after punching him and hurling racial slurs at him in 2006.

The award was drastically lower than the $1 million that Stevenson’s attorney wanted. He said the award amounted to jurors condoning Wahler’s conduct.

Wahler said he considered the judgment a victory and said he had changed since the altercation with Stevenson and other high-profile incidents that resulted in his arrest in Los Angeles and Seattle.

She was the skanky one that was always trying to steal Jason Wahler away from the other skanky, more pathetic one. And she’s also one of Aubrey O’Day’s top Myspace friends! Go figure.

I just checked out Alex’s page–apparently she’s a recording artist now–and she’s posted a long blog entry answering “fans” questions. There are some interesting tidbits about LB and everyone’s favorite Hollywood Hills characters.

8. Do you watch The Hills, and if so, what do you think of Heidi?

I don’t really watch a lot of TV..but I have seen bits and pieces here and there…I knew heidi before The Hills ever came out ..when she lived with Lauren in San Fran..I actualy liked Heidi but she made some very hurtful comments about my music and so thats when it stopped for me.

9. What did you think about Jason’s rehab stay and engagement?

I think rehab was great for Jason. Addiction is a very serious thing and I think rehab was a very positive thing for him. Regarding his engagement, I think it’s a bit early at this age to get married but if he’s happy then I’m happy for him! I will always care about Jason and wish him the best!

Given all the dirt his adversaries are digging up, Jason Wahler might want to run to The Hills…or farther.

The reality-TV bad boy’s attorneys are begging a Los Angeles judge to bar some unflattering details about Wahler’s past from being brought up at his upcoming civil trial.

And they ain’t talking about his treatment of L.C.

The 21-year-old Wahler is being sued for allegedly assaulting a tow-truck driver.

Court papers filed by the law firm of Veatch Carlson seek to supress any evidence that could paint Wahler in a bad light, specifically the revelation that the Laguna Beach meathead repeatedly dropped the N-bomb at the plaintiff, Dario Stevenson, and a traffic officer during a September 2006 incident.

Former Laguna Beach star Jason Wahler (Lauren Conrad’s ex) is headed back to reality TV.

“It’ll be the real-life version of Entourage,” Jason, 21, tells Life & Style of his new VH1 show.

“We start filming in April. I’ve got a lot going on: auditions, movies, parties. It’s not exactly the same as Entourage — I’m not making $10 million a movie!”

And don’t expect to see a lot of Jason’s fiancée, Katja Decker-Sadowski.

“Most of my relationship will be private,” he says. “I didn’t want to make Newlyweds.”

“The Hills” was the #1 original series on cable among people between the ages of 12-34 in 2007. “The Hills” is also the top show area on MTV.com for all of ‘07 in terms of uniques and streams. Since the premiere of the third season in August, “The Hills” show area on MTV.com has attracted an average of 600,000 unique visitors a week. We had the honor of sitting down with Lauren “Lo” Bosworth from The Hills and Laguna Beach and talking about the reality series and the young starlet’s future.

Can you talk a little bit about how shows like Laguna Beach and The Hills work? How much of it is reality and is any of it scripted?

Lo: Sure. We do have a filming schedule which definitely makes it easier than having cameras around 24/7. Everything that we film is real, everything you see on the show has really happened. It really is a lot of expert editing done by people that work with the show. They create such an interesting storyline that it seems like there is a script. If I didn’t know and I watched the show, I would think the same thing, but there is no script.

Is it difficult to live a normal life with the cameras around? Or does having that filming schedule help to make it more bearable?

Lo: The fact that there is a filming schedule makes it a lot more bearable. We filmed this morning, but now I’m just hanging out here at home. I have the rest of the day off, so it’s really not bad at all. It’s weird though, the paparazzi like to hang out in front of the house, and so if we go anywhere, they’re there. So it’s hard to like run down to Blockbuster, because they’re there. There are always people around.
