Get ready to ingest the cyanide capsules you were given complimentary with the purchase The Hills box set: Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, the debatable "stars" of the show, want to get married on live television. Wish you hadn't heard that? Then go back to sleep and pretend its all some terrible, terrible dream, wrought forth because of last night's season four premiere. Then wake the hell back up because the future Mr. and Mrs. Pratt want to broadcast their fake-love in the most tacky way possible.
Of course, this has been their plan all along. As recently as May, Montag was on Us Weekly laying the groundwork for their reality wedding. And nothing this twosome gets involved with happens without a reality camera crew.
If there was any conceivable way these two could invite the paparazzi into Heidi's womb when she inevitably gets knocked up, you know they would be all over it. We have it on good authority they're already trying.
Spencer Montag would love to visit Iraq with girlfriend Heidi Spencer, but he'll need a pair of first-class tickets first. Comped. [Scoop]
Once again using her late stepbrother as justification for her ridiculous actions, Heidi Montag announced she and boyfriend Spencer Pratt are planning a trip to the Middle East to perform for the troops. Haven’t the troops suffered enough?
Audrina Patridge earned $10,000 to attend a party at a San Diego nightclub. Her The Hills cohorts Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag would likely laugh in their face, since they claim to earn some $100,000 per appearance — or why bother showing up, ya know, right?
This is how you make money when you are (barely) famous for being famous; Paris Hilton wasn't the first to turn this into a business model, but she remains among the most notorious and highest-paid. But a quick look at a detail sheet sent out way by an agency in the business of renting out B-listers for events reveals a few other dollar amounts. CONTINUED »
The great (and by “great” we mean “annoying”) thing about Heidi Montag is that she’s a mystery: Does she really believe the stuff that comes out of her mouth or is it all a big joke? And if it’s a joke, why does she insist on being the punch line?
Lately, Horse Face has gone off on a Christianity tangent, claiming she reads the Bible every day and is a “kind of non-denominational Baptist.” Whatever that means. Also? She plans to insult God through the power of her terrible music by recording a Christian album.
Firing back at Mary-Kate Olsen — who, on Letterman last night, labeled Spencer Pratt a rageaholic with a sweat problem — the reality TV opportunist says, "I know I've made it in Hollywood when a famous troll is talking about me on Letterman." Adds Spencer: "I don't really get why she'd use my name to get press for her little indie film that no one's going to see. She should probably focus more on not getting dressed in the dark than on me." Aww, sad! Because back in high school, the duo were at least friendly enough to snap this photo together … which Pratt later sold for $50k.
Mary-Kate Olsen's appearance on David Letterman last night wasn't notable for her "I'm so tired" excuse for being barely able to hold herself up, but that she threw old classmate Spencer Pratt under the bus. Mary-Kate says the duo went to high school together, and that Mr. Pratt's temper problem often meant he'd scream his way off the soccer field when he didn't get his way. Also, he's "oily." Insider stuff here folks!
In this David Letterman advertisement for Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag's lifestyle, the shorter haired one insists he does not patronize nightclubs that pay him under 100 large. The longer haired one said that's a low-ball estimate. For what it's worth, they paid Letterman $100k to be on his show.
"According to Montag and Pratt’s latest cover story in Us, their dream is a small wedding on Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island in the Virgin Islands, with catering by Wolfgang Puck’s Cut restaurant, watches by Jason of Beverly Hills for all their guests and a performance by U2." Oh, and for it to be filmed by MTV. [E!]
Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag ruined one of the most beloved children’s characters at an AIDS benefit yesterday in LA. Barney would have been infinitely cooler had he eaten the reality show losers, so now he’s kind of dead to me.
Are you ready for the worst 30 seconds of your life? Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt and Pete Wentz teamed up to shoot a commercial for some new Friday Night MTV thing (called F N MTV), but for the first few seconds we thought we really were watching an episode of The Hills. If this is the couple “acting,” then that should clear up any confusion in the minds of the slower MTV viewers as to whether or not the Speidi relationship is authentic.
Not surprisingly, Janice Min has decided to toss Heidi Montag on the cover again (not that anyone is spreading rumors they have some sort of arrangement for things like this), but this time there's real news: She wants to get married! "I'm ready to marry Spencer. He's my soulmate," she tells the magazine.
And not that we're asking you to guess which celeb weekly will score the EXCLUSIVE pics of the nuptials, but let's not play pretend: Heidi and Spencer aren't getting married … yet. They're laying the groundwork for their own reality TV show.
Industry gossip that's been brewing for the past few weeks has the two trying to score their own MTV show, a la Newlyweds, though the network is said to be fearful of saturating its The Hills brand. The peg for the show? The lead up to Heidi and Spencer getting married.
But with this Us cover, they're clearly pushing the agenda, proving there's measurable interest in their fairytale wedding. So move those newsstand sales, people, and help Hollywood's most opportunistic couple score another payday.
Without Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan's daily antics, it's fallen on Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt to fill the gossip blogs and tabloid covers. And they've more than made themselves available. "We're always the juicier story," Spencer tells the LAT. "And when Heidi and Spencer are gossip machines, it's like, 'What did Heidi and Spencer do?'"
This is the stock of celebrity we've allowed ourselves to settle for, and they're cleaning up; $50,000 each for hosting a party here, $15,000 for posing for "paparazzi" photos there. CONTINUED »
In what will truly be the worst hour in the history of television, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are set to appear on Tuesday’s episode of The Tyra Banks Show. And, because they don’t know how to discuss anything else, the topic of conversation is Lauren Conrad.
Spencer offers to take a lie detector test and claims he is “1,000 percent” positive that a sex tape featuring Lauren and ex-boyfriend Jason Wahler exists. Did we suddenly travel back in time to one year ago?
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt did end up attending the White House Correspondents Dinner, even after turning down MSNBC's invite, an invite they denied ever extending. (They were the invited guests of Fortune.) Except Heidi committed the ultimate faux pas. No, she didn't flip-flop on her John McCain endorsement — she wore the same outfit she sported for an event just a week earlier.
